Queen Medusa's jade-like back was exceptionally smooth and flawless.
Only the tied ribbons of her dudou and bandeau held her garments together.
But Chen Mo, ever so considerate, easily and quietly undid both sets of ties.
It was only because they were holding each other so tightly that the garments didn't slip off entirely.
Sensing that Queen Medusa was growing immersed in the moment, Chen Mo suddenly flipped their positions, pressing her beneath him.
A man born under heaven and earth should not remain beneath others for long, he thought.
Queen Medusa noticed what he was doing, but she didn't resist.
Instead, she closed her eyes and actively wrapped her arms around him.
Chen Mo's heart surged with excitement.
Has Her Majesty finally been conquered by me?
Seeing her so passionate...
Chen Mo's large hands, resting at her waist, began slowly sliding upward—inch by inch.
Before long, he reached the edge of the bandeau.
Since the ties had been undone, it wasn't very secure anymore.
But just as Chen Mo was about to continue, he hesitated.
If I go any further... I might die a quick and painful death.
Should he take the risk?
What if she left it untied on purpose—was this my opportunity? Chen Mo debated internally.
After a short pause...
He withdrew his hand.
I've already made huge progress tonight. I shouldn't push my luck—this is more than enough.
Chen Mo flipped over slightly and hugged Queen Medusa from the front.
He slipped his hands beneath her arms and re-tied the bandeau and dudou for her.
Affection at 98%. Better play it safe.
Queen Medusa quietly exhaled. The cold aura that had begun to surface around her faded away.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Then she gently pushed Chen Mo away. Their kiss came to an end, and her sharp fingertips traced across his back as she said in a cold voice:
"Human, are you satisfied now?"
"Very satisfied. In fact, I'm head over heels for you, Your Majesty."
Chen Mo tightened his embrace and lightly kissed her snowy neck.
"Then... between me and my sister, who would you choose?"
Queen Medusa hesitated for a long time, but still asked the question.
Though her rational mind told her she shouldn't...
She couldn't help it.
Even if asking made her feel immensely guilty toward her sister.
Even if she might not be able to accept the answer.
She still wanted to know.
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.
He knew this was a death trap of a question.
Dammit, I'm a scumbag, he silently cursed. Then he leaned forward and kissed her smooth forehead with a gentle smile.
"Of course, it's Your Majesty."
Chen Mo had simply answered based on the person asking.
If it were Die asking, it would've been her.
He thought it was a safe and decent answer.
But to his surprise, Queen Medusa's clarity suddenly returned. She shoved him away, her voice cold but trembling slightly:
"No. I cannot betray my sister."
Without another word, she rose from the soft bed, and in a flash of red light, disappeared through the window.
Chen Mo froze. His eyes narrowed slightly.
So that's why I can't reach 100% affection...
Die plays a huge role in this.
And to be fair, not even Chen Mo—with a skin thick as city walls—knew how to deal with the two sisters.
Let alone blood sisters who were born together, grew up together, and knew each other inside and out.
He still had a long way to go.
Under the crescent moon, Queen Medusa stood atop the palace eaves.
If Chen Mo could see her expression at this moment, he'd find her nervous, flustered, and overwhelmed.
She wanted to die from shame.
I took the initiative again. Worse yet, I even responded so passionately...
Wouldn't it have been better to just let him take the lead? Then if anything happened, I could've blamed him entirely.
Why did I have to take the initiative?
I can't let myself take the initiative anymore!
Having rationalized the situation with a bit of self-deception, Queen Medusa quietly returned to the sleeping quarters.
She lay down beside Chen Mo again.
Chen Mo wasn't asleep. Seeing the bewitching woman return, he immediately embraced her again.
When Queen Medusa resisted, Chen Mo gently tugged her closer until they were face to face in a tight embrace.
"Good night, Your Majesty."
He planted a kiss on her smooth, fair cheek.
Over the next few days, Chen Mo fully enjoyed what it was like to sleep with Queen Medusa in his arms.
The only downside: when he kissed her now, she no longer responded actively.
Chen Mo rated that a solid 0/10.
Still, he understood. For someone as cold and proud as Queen Medusa, reaching this level of closeness was already a miracle.
One evening, while kissing Queen Medusa again—
A sudden realization flashed through Chen Mo's mind.
Wait... did I forget about the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art?
According to the technique's description, it didn't just work through "that" kind of intimate act.
Even hugging and kissing could trigger its effects.
While the gains weren't as explosive as... you know, it was still far better than absorbing Dou Qi through regular cultivation.
Chen Mo activated the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art, testing it out.
Suddenly, his mind buzzed, as though he were undergoing a spiritual awakening.
In a flash, his soul became clear as the starry sky.
His body felt like it was dissolving, transforming into energy, fusing with heaven, laws, nature...
He seemed to enter all things—listening to their voices.
Queen Medusa was stunned.
She began to respond to Chen Mo again.
And more than that—at that moment, it felt like their hearts and souls had become one.
Their spirits resonated.
The two of them drifted through waves of energy together.
Their cultivation bases began rising bit by bit. The pace was slow—
But real and tangible.
And far faster than cultivating by simply absorbing Dou Qi.
It hadn't been long since she broke through to Eight-Star Dou Huang, yet already her strength was rising again.
At this rate, in about a year... I might be ready to seek evolution.
Feeling the effects, she actively began to cooperate.
But that cooperation...
Quickly spiraled out of control.
Their souls began to slowly—
Queen Medusa suddenly shoved Chen Mo away, her face flushed red.
"Damn you, human! What did you just do to me?!"
Chen Mo was still dazed, reveling in the afterglow.
He hadn't expected the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art to be this insane. Even this worked?
Naturally, he couldn't admit anything. He put on a face of innocence and said,
"I have no idea! We're both fully dressed..."
Queen Medusa glanced down at their clothes. Everything was indeed intact.
So... was it just an illusion?
But the rise in her cultivation was very real.
She clenched her hand, feeling the surge in her strength.
Queen Medusa furrowed her brows and warned:
"I don't care if this has anything to do with you or not. But this kind of thing—only once. If it happens again... you're moving out of my chambers."
Strange as it was, it can only happen once.
Chen Mo didn't dare try again. He could tell Queen Medusa was truly angry.
Terrified. Completely terrified!
