103: Chapter 102 Medusa Renamed Jiu CaiMedusa’s slender, rosy fingers held the letter, her gaze slowly wandering over the paper, taking in the lines of text as she read the words Chen Yang had left behind.

Medusa raised her head slightly to look inside the box, and sure enough, there were several exquisite jade bottles placed within, each with a small line of text stuck to it, the handwriting identical to that in the letter.

Looking at the pills Chen Yang had left in the box, the corners of Medusa’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile; a warm current surged in her heart, dispelling the hatred she had harbored toward Chen Yang these past few days.

For the sake of the child still gestating within her, she would no longer resist Chen Yang; she chose to gladly accept his concern, thinking that if it were possible, she would not be opposed to agreeing to be with Chen Yang, becoming his wife, and spending her life hand in hand with him.

Medusa picked up the letter again, her gaze falling back onto the paper, and she read it through once more, word by word.

”There are four pills in total. The one prepared for the child is a Grade 7 low-tier pill, the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, as well as an Eighth Grade Pill, the Prime Beginning Pill.”

”You are surely more aware of the effects of the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill than I am; it can enhance the child’s bloodline, physique, and cultivation. However, I will explain the function of the Prime Beginning Pill to you in detail here.”

”The Prime Beginning Pill is an Eighth Grade Pill with Five-Color Pill Lightning; it is extremely precious even among other pills, and the medicinal herbs required to refine it are incredibly hard to find. This pill can be administered to the child one year after birth. The miraculous thing about this pill is that it can completely stimulate the child’s talent and bloodline power.”

”The medicinal effect of the Prime Beginning Pill will not be released all at once, but will instead imperceptibly and slowly change the child’s physique from within, laying a solid foundation for her future cultivation.”

Seeing how much Chen Yang cared for her child, crystal-clear tears shimmered in Medusa’s eyes, the tearlight containing both emotion and surprise.

She had not expected Chen Yang to be so concerned about her child, and even more so, that he would spare no effort or cost in medicinal herbs to refine such precious pills for this unborn child.

She also knew the scarcity of Eighth Grade Pills; one must know that there might not even be a Grade 8 Alchemist in the entire Northwest Continent, so one can imagine that the scarcity of a Grade 8 Alchemist is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Yet, for a woman with whom he only had a one-night stand, and for a child who might have many uncertainties, Chen Yang went to the trouble of refining an Eighth Grade Pill with Five-Color Pill Lightning. How could she not be moved by such profound affection?

Medusa sniffled gently, struggling to hold back her tears; she hid this emotion deep in her heart and continued reading.

”Medusa, I also know that you have already broken through to the Dou Zong realm. However, the energy required for each star of improvement in the Dou Zong realm increases exponentially. Therefore, I have carefully created a unique pill recipe just for you.”

”This pill is named the Nine-Colored Spirit Ascension Pill, and it is an Eighth Grade Pill with Three-Color Pill Lightning. Once you consume this pill, not only can it directly raise your cultivation by one to two stars, but more importantly, it can greatly enhance the bloodline concentration of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python within you.”

”When you break through to the Dou Zun realm, you will be able to take this opportunity to completely evolve into an Eight-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. If you can break through to reach the Dou Sheng realm, then the bloodline within you will evolve once again, becoming the legendary Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.”

”In addition, there is another Eighth Grade Pill I refined myself, the breakthrough-to-zun pill; with the assistance of this pill, your breakthrough to the Dou Zun realm will surely become much smoother.”

”Actually, these are not the most important things; Medusa, I think I should still be honest and tell you my true identity.”

”My name is not Han Li, but Chen Yang—the Chen Yang who descended into the Fighting Qi Continent livestream!”

”Medusa, from the first moment I saw you, you deeply stunned me. I could not bear the thought of you marrying anyone else, which is why I did such an impulsive thing.”

”Now, here, I formally apologize to you and hope that you can forgive me.”

”Medusa, will you marry me? Be my wife.”

”I have also chosen a new name for you: Jiu Cai.”

”If you agree, I hope that next time we meet, you will tell me your new name in person!”

Medusa finished reading the last word of the letter, her eyes already reddened, and tears swirling in her eye sockets. In fact, she had long known that Chen Yang would commit an improper act against her, but given her strength, how could she be a match for Chen Yang?

Although after that night she had desperately wanted to kill Chen Yang, and had even sworn an oath in her heart to tear this man who had trifled with her into ten thousand pieces, the gap in combat power between her and Chen Yang was too great. Chen Yang had been able to directly kill a one-star Dou Zun at the Cloud Mist Sect; how could she possibly defeat such a powerful Chen Yang? With no other options, she could only silently accept her fate.

But now, seeing Chen Yang’s sincere apology in the letter and seeing everything he had done for her and the child, the knot in her heart regarding Chen Yang was completely erased.

Medusa held the letter to her chest, closed her eyes slightly, and whispered softly.

”Jiu Cai, I like this name very much. Chen Yang, I am also willing to marry you and spend my life with you!”

After confirming her own feelings, Medusa carefully folded the letter and put it away, then looked at the pills in the box, treating them like rare treasures as she stored them all into her storage ring.

After doing all this, Jiu Cai (Medusa) slowly opened the palace door, and a ray of sunset shone on her face, bringing her a touch of warmth. Jiu Cai looked at the brilliant clouds on the horizon, placed her hands on her not-yet-swollen abdomen, feeling the tiny but robustly growing life within her body, and a happy smile bloomed on Jiu Cai’s face.

”Chen Yang, I will take good care of our child, and I will also wait for your return in the Gatar Desert.”

Jiu Cai closed her eyes, placed her hands on her chest, and said softly. A breeze blew, lifting her loose black hair, which gave off a faint, delicate fragrance.

Her soft voice drifted away with the wind, carrying her promise to Chen Yang, floating toward the direction where that man was.

”...”

In the Hall of Souls, within a hidden palace, the soul origins of countless souls were being extracted. The intense pain caused them to let out bursts of roars, but suddenly, an urgent shout came from outside the palace.

”Grand Heavenly Lord, it’s bad! Something terrible has happened!”

This voice carried a hint of panic, echoing continuously in the empty palace.

The Grand Heavenly Lord sat on his chair with his eyes closed and a cold expression on his face, quietly contemplating the future of the Hall of Souls and himself. Hearing the voice, the Grand Heavenly Lord slowly opened his eyes, looked at the one-star Dou Zun who had rushed in, swept his gaze over him, and said indifferently, ”What is there to panic about? With this Grand Heavenly Lord here, is the sky about to collapse?”
