Chen Mo walked over to the bed and gently placed Her Majesty the Queen onto it. Then, he climbed onto the bed as well, positioning her to lie on her stomach. Placing both hands on her shoulders, he began to gently massage them.
Truth be told, Chen Mo had originally intended to take advantage of the situation.
But when he recalled the moment he had carried her bridal-style, and the undisguised exhaustion in Queen Medusa's eyes, he suppressed that mischievous impulse.
Instead, he focused on giving her a considerate massage, helping her relax, and said softly,
"Han Feng escaped. Things are going to get a bit troublesome now. From what I know, the next time he comes, he might bring along the Gold and Silver Elders from the Black Ranking."
Queen Medusa let out a puzzled hum. She wasn't too familiar with the Black-Corner Region, and naturally had never heard of the Gold and Silver Elders.
"They're twin brothers who cultivate identical techniques. When they fight together, even an average Dou Zong expert would have trouble dealing with them. Separately, each of them is already at the peak of the Dou Huang realm."
Chen Mo explained, a trace of solemnity in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's brows furrowed. After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't worry. When the time comes, just stay behind this Queen. I'll protect you."
He had expected her to think of some strategy—but not that.
This was Her Majesty the Queen—ah, how could he not love her?
Chen Mo made up his mind. Since Her Majesty showed such care for him, he would offer his whole self in return. So, he intensified his massage efforts and said,
"Actually, there is a way to deal with them. Han Feng's group will need some time to recover and make the trip—at least a month. By then, Die should have emerged from her seclusion. As long as we can separate them and stop them from fighting together, we'll have a chance."
"No need to worry. I've already made arrangements," Queen Medusa said confidently, curling her five fingers into a fist. "The eight tribe leaders are all waiting in the royal city. We'll let them wear themselves out coming to us. If they dare show up again, I'll make sure they don't leave alive."
Chen Mo immediately praised, "Her Majesty is mighty!"
He hadn't expected that Queen Medusa had already planned everything out.
Filled with joy, Chen Mo kissed her fragrant shoulder.
Accept my gratitude for your love.
Half an hour later...
Queen Medusa was visibly more relaxed.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, was utterly exhausted.
His hands slowly moved from her delicate shoulders to her smooth back and slim waist...
And finally, Chen Mo pressed Queen Medusa beneath him, kissing her snow-white neck, smooth like mutton fat jade.
Chen Mo flipped her over and kissed her vibrant red lips.
One hand held her head, fingers tangled in her silky hair.
A blush quickly spread across Queen Medusa's cheeks, her gaze dazed and enchanted.
Sensing her response, Chen Mo suddenly recalled his long-held dream:
To pin Her Majesty to the bed and give her a good spanking!
Without hesitation, and while still kissing her, he swiftly smacked her bottom—twice.
Queen Medusa's long eyelashes trembled as her face turned crimson.
She tried to break free, but Chen Mo held her tightly.
A cold gleam flashed in her eyes as a surge of powerful Dou Qi erupted from within her.
Just as she was about to blast Chen Mo away...
Another heavy slap landed.
The rising coldness in her eyes and her erupting Dou Qi—instantly scattered.
Queen Medusa's body softened as if all strength had left her.
A long moment passed...
Chen Mo finally pulled away from her lips. Hugging her close, he whispered into her ear with a magnetic voice that carried a hint of a bite:
"Your Majesty, do you remember what I once said I wanted to do most? Well... I just did it."
Queen Medusa's face turned even redder. That usual cold demeanor on her beautiful face had long since disappeared.
Hearing Chen Mo's words, her mind echoed with the memory of what he once said: "I want to pin you to the bed and spank you hard."
Her face flushed all the way to her neck as she gritted her teeth, "Once I recover, I'm going to tear you limb from limb!"
She nailed the expression, but her voice was soft, and her head was resting against Chen Mo's chest—
Which made her threat...not all that intimidating.
Chen Mo chuckled, playfully twirling her hair with his fingers. He put on an exaggeratedly frightened expression and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I was wrong! What must I do to be spared?"
Queen Medusa snorted, seeing through his act immediately. "Hopeless. Prepare to die."
"Nooo, I think there's still hope to save me!"
Chen Mo leaned in again, probing her emotional defenses. "Your Majesty, last night you even stood up for me... You refused the Transformation Pill for my sake. Could it be... that you've fallen for me too?"
"Heh, not at all. You're imagining things."
Queen Medusa let out two cold laughs, then added, "That Green Lotus Core Flame belongs to this Queen. I'm merely letting you borrow it for now. Trying to trade a mere Transformation Pill for my Heavenly Flame? What a delusion."
Chen Mo hadn't expected her to use that as a justification.
Then again, he had said he'd give her the Green Lotus Core Flame...
So technically, she wasn't wrong.
"Then what about all that kissing and hugging just now?"
"Wasn't that you taking advantage of me? You've got the nerve to ask me?"
"Then why didn't you push me away? Why did you let me?"
"With how thick-skinned and shameless you are, would it have worked even if I did?"
"Uhh... then what about your responses earlier—?"
Chen Mo was blasted off the bed.
He quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, your lack of response earlier—that was my mistake, I must've imagined it!"
Only then was he allowed to crawl back and pull Queen Medusa into his arms again.
Holding her, Chen Mo recalled a famous saying:
Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't take responsibility.
Your Majesty... you're truly a master of the art!
Respect. Deep respect.
Just as the first light of dawn peeked through the windows—
Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, glancing down at the still-sleeping beauty in his arms.
Then his expression froze.
A cold sweat broke across his forehead.
The soft fullness in his hand... was not something most people had the chance to experience.
Clearly, Chen Mo wasn't most people—
Because experiences ... could be fatal.
He held his breath and was just about to quietly slide his hand out from under her chest wrap...
When Queen Medusa opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I can explain! I swear, last night everything was normal—I have no idea how my hand ended up in there!"
Outside the bedchamber
Yue Nu: "That familiar sound..."
