Chen Mo's blissful and intoxicated demeanor made Queen Medusa grit her teeth, wishing she could tear him apart with her gaze.
Even Yun Yun, who had witnessed Chen Mo's strength, looked at this scene in disbelief.
This was outright manipulation of another's will.
"Human brat, what exactly have you done to me? Otherwise, I would never have done such a thing!" Medusa wanted to increase the force with which she crushed Chen Mo's shoulder, only to find that even this strength was beyond her control.
Chen Mo didn't make things too difficult for her. After punishing her for a while, he had her stop the shoulder-crushing and said indifferently, "Don't worry about what I've done to you. Just know that your life and death are in my hands."
"If I let you live, you live. If I want you dead, you die." This last statement was somewhat of a bluff, as Queen Medusa's death would also cause significant damage to Chen Mo's soul.
"What do you want?" She, the queen of the Snake-People, had even suppressed the soul of the little one within her body, temporarily taking control of this vessel and becoming a Dou Ancestor.
Yet, in the end, she was being threatened by a mere Dou Master human brat.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Just follow my orders obediently, and becoming a Dou Ancestor is not the end." Chen Mo looked at Queen Medusa and said, "Moreover, with your strength alone, you can't win against that soul within you."
"Want me to obey your commands? You're dreaming!" Medusa's eyes flashed with cold light. Once she figured out what was going on, she would immediately tear this brat to pieces.
"Is that so?"
Chen Mo gently raised his hand, and Queen Medusa felt her neck gripped by a mysterious force, her entire body lifted into the air.
As the force increased, Queen Medusa began to feel suffocated, but she didn't beg for mercy. Just as her breathing became increasingly difficult, the mysterious force vanished, and her body fell from mid-air.
Queen Medusa gasped for breath on the ground, saying, "If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, once I get the chance, I'll chop you into pieces."
Chen Mo ignored her because, at the moment Medusa was struggling to breathe, his soul suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Chen Mo quickly consulted the system.
After understanding, he realized that his soul and Queen Medusa's were now interconnected. When one party endured pain beyond a certain limit, that pain would transfer to the other.
"Damn it! No wonder the Soul Contract was only worth two thousand points. There are limitations. I thought I could do whatever I wanted," Chen Mo thought with some frustration.
Seeing Queen Medusa's strong resistance, Chen Mo decided to take a softer approach. "You don't want to carry two souls forever, do you? Besides, I let you devour the soul of a Nine Revolution Dou Venerable. Surely you haven't forgotten that favor!"
"Hmph, don't even think about making me obey your commands." The soul of a Nine Revolution Dou Venerable had indeed greatly benefited her, even boosting her cultivation significantly.
But getting her to completely submit wasn't going to be easy.
Seeing that Queen Medusa's attitude wasn't as rigid as before, Chen Mo knew there was still room for negotiation. He then spent 5,300 Luck Points to exchange for a Soul Fusion Pill from the system.
With a flip of his hand, the Soul Fusion Pill appeared in Chen Mo's palm. He waved it in front of Queen Medusa and said, "If you agree, this sixth-grade Soul Fusion Pill is yours."
Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow. Although she wasn't an Alchemist, she knew that a sixth-grade Soul Fusion Pill could merge the soul with the body, rapidly restore soul power, and completely heal any past soul injuries.
To be honest, Queen Medusa was somewhat tempted. She even felt a hint of suspicion that the reason her body was under Chen Mo's control might be due to the inability of her soul and body to fully merge.
"How do I know if this Soul Fusion Pill of yours is genuine?" Queen Medusa stood up from the ground, once again resuming her alluring demeanor. Even dressed in male robes, her stunning figure and noble, graceful aura were impossible to conceal.
Yun Yun instinctively furrowed her brows again.
"Whether it's genuine or not, you can simply swallow it and see the effects for yourself," Chen Mo replied confidently. Within the territory of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion, he wasn't worried that Queen Medusa would renege on her word afterward.
"Hmm?" Chen Mo's straightforwardness made Queen Medusa somewhat uneasy. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the pill in his palm, wondering if it might be some kind of dubious elixir.
"Don't worry, if I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't need to resort to such methods."
Hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned in displeasure, but her unease diminished slightly.
Indeed, if this brat truly wanted to do something to her, he wouldn't need to use such a method.
Moreover, the woman by his side wasn't some naive fool.
Thinking this, Queen Medusa deliberately extended her tongue to lick her red lips. Her slender fingers picked up the pill from Chen Mo's palm, lingering for a moment as she traced a small circle.
Yun Yun's expression darkened instantly.
Noticing this, Chen Mo quickly shot a warning glance at Queen Medusa.
Heeding Chen Mo's warning, Queen Medusa didn't go too far, but she still maintained a seductive posture.
She deliberately lifted her head, her beautiful face inadvertently exuding a bewitching charm reminiscent of a siren. Her long, fair neck revealed an elegant curve.
Then, slowly, she parted her alluring red lips and tossed the pill into her mouth. Her throat moved slightly as she swallowed it.
Bang!
A candle holder in the hall suddenly shattered, and a surge of cyan Dou Qi erupted from Yun Yun's body.
This time, Queen Medusa wasn't teasing Yun Yun.
The moment the Soul Fusion Pill entered her stomach, it dissolved, releasing a surge of medicinal energy that spread throughout her body.
At that moment, Queen Medusa realized that Chen Mo hadn't lied—the Soul Fusion Pill was genuine!
Queen Medusa quickly entered a meditative state.
The atmosphere in the vast hall grew silent.
Yun Yun shot a cold glare at Chen Mo and left the hall.
"What kind of mess is this?" Chen Mo forced a bitter smile and, without paying further attention to Queen Medusa, hurried after Yun Yun.
At this moment, Yun Yun needed some comforting.
Yun Yun hadn't truly intended to leave; otherwise, she would have already summoned her Dou Qi Wings.
The hall where Yun Yun resided was deep within the Yunlan Sect. Given her status as the sect leader, aside from her maids, few people ever ventured there.
After catching up to Yun Yun, Chen Mo didn't wait for her consent and immediately embraced her tightly. He then poured out a stream of sweet nothings he had learned in his previous life.
Yun Yun's struggles gradually weakened.
Half an hour later, inside the grand hall.
A fierce ripple of energy spread throughout the Yunlan Sect!
