I Fish for Everything, Starting with the Medusa Queen - Chapter 5:

Chapter 5: Successfully Persuading Medusa. The Beginning of the Queen Becoming a Loving Wife…

“Take responsibility for me?” Medusa Queen raised her eyebrows and revealed a cold smile on her icy face. “Are you trying to take advantage of everything and trick me into staying so you can continue to play with me? And even have me bear your children and continue your bloodline?”

Hearing Medusa Queen’s words, Xiao Fan’s mouth twitched.

This was pure slander.

Although Medusa Queen was an unmatched beauty, how could he possibly want to keep her just to play with her? It was clearly out of a man’s sense of responsibility.

“Where is this place?” Medusa Queen asked before Xiao Fan could respond.

Xiao Fan immediately replied, “This is the Imperial City of the Great Qian Empire. Between here and the Endless Death Desert where the snake people tribe is located, there is also the Yin Moon Empire. The distance between them is at least several million kilometers…”

“The Great Qian Empire?!” Medusa Queen was shocked when she heard this.

She had not expected to be so far from her tribe.

She looked at Xiao Fan and asked, “You used a fishing hook to pull me here from underground in the Endless Death Desert?”

“Yes. But although that thing can pull someone here, it cannot send them back,” Xiao Fan answered honestly.

After all, Medusa Queen already had a Soul Mark planted in her. He had no need to worry about her attacking him.

“You are not afraid… that I might seize your treasure?” Medusa Queen played with her fingers as a dangerous aura spread from her body.

She had expected the human to lie or make excuses. She did not expect him to admit it so easily.

It made her feel trusted.

“If you really had that intention, you would have already taken action instead of talking so much. Besides, only I can summon and use that thing. Even if you took it, it would be useless,” Xiao Fan replied calmly.

His confident attitude made Medusa Queen narrow her eyes slightly.

“Oh? Then I would like to try it…”

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Fan summoned the Void Fishing Rod and let it float in front of her.

“If you do not believe me, you can try it.”

The Void Fishing Rod was a part derived from the system. No one except him could use it.

He was not lying.

But if Medusa Queen truly harbored malicious intent and tried to seize it, then even if she was the first woman in his life, he would have no choice but to kill her.

“No need. Put it away. I am not someone who covets others’ treasures,” Medusa Queen said proudly, with a faint smile.

She had asked that question only to test Xiao Fan’s character and attitude.

If he had lied and treated her like a fool, then even though they had shared that kind of relationship last night, she would not have treated him well.

But Xiao Fan had been honest and willing to trust her.

It made her feel acknowledged, and her impression of him improved slightly.

“What happened last night was just an accident. I am not an unreasonable person. You helped suppress my snake desire and fire poison backlash. I accidentally helped you awaken your Pure Yang physique. We do not owe each other anything. Let it be like an illusion, like a dream that leaves nothing behind.”

After speaking, Medusa Queen raised her hand and tore open a spatial rift, preparing to leave.

Xiao Fan’s expression changed, and he rushed forward to grab her wrist.

“Wait. You cannot leave yet.”

Medusa Queen’s body stiffened instantly, and her aura turned cold.

“What? Do you really want me to stay and continue serving you?” she turned her head and asked coldly, her gaze deep and dangerous.

As Medusa Queen of the snake people tribe, she had her own dignity and pride.

Although she valued her chastity greatly, she would not abandon her dignity and depend on someone just because she had lost it by accident.

That was not the way of a queen.

“No. Your injuries have not fully healed, and there are still serious hidden dangers in your body. The fire poison in your body has only been temporarily suppressed. It is still deeply rooted in your meridians and bloodline. Even though you have broken through to the Grandmaster Martial Realm, it is difficult to completely eliminate it.”

“In the future, if the fire poison erupts again, you will suffer unbearable pain. It may even trigger snake desire again and put your chastity at risk.”

“Most importantly, if the fire poison is not completely removed, you will not be able to fully control the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline. Your strength will stop at the Grandmaster Martial Realm. But I can completely remove the fire poison and help evolve your bloodline. Your martial path will not stop here.”

Medusa Queen’s pupils shrank in shock.

She did not expect Xiao Fan to see through her condition so clearly.

“Why should I believe you?” she asked coldly after calming down.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and activated the Nine Suns God-Slaying Art.

“My cultivation technique and physique can absorb and refine fire poison. It can also gradually refine and purify your bloodline.”

As the technique operated, pure yang power entered Medusa Queen’s body. It began devouring and refining the fire poison and purifying her bloodline.

Although the process was slow, Medusa Queen was shocked.

The fire poison in her body was deeply rooted. Even she could not remove it.

Moreover, after merging with part of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the fire poison had become even more terrifying.

Only Venerable or Saint-level spiritual medicines had a chance to remove it.

Yet Xiao Fan, who was only at the 9th stage of the Earth Martial Realm, could refine it and purify her bloodline.

“Human, your ability does tempt me. But I cannot stay by your side forever. At most, I can stay for one year.”

“Of course, during this time, if something happens to the snake people tribe or if you provoke someone you should not, I will leave without hesitation.”

“And do not think you can command me just because you can purify my fire poison and bloodline. I will not submit to you because of this. If you anger me, do not blame me for attacking you.”

Although her expression remained cold, Xiao Fan did not mind.

Women like her were difficult to approach at first.

But once you entered their hearts, they would remain loyal forever.

As long as she stayed, there was hope.

After all, feelings develop over time.

If feelings did not develop in one day or two, then in many more days, they eventually would.
