Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 299 Homecoming
As early as the trip to the Sossusvlei Desert several years ago, Xu Shen knew that the Medusa tribe was very magical.

They can reproduce both homosexually and heterosexually, and even across species.

In terms of reproductive freedom, there are probably not many in the world that can match them.

Sure enough, his guess was correct, Xiaomei really has a great relationship with humans.

No wonder her soul is exactly the same as that of a human being.

This made Xu Shen feel a little embarrassed to take action.

It would be fine if she was a pure demon.

Humans and demons are inherently incompatible. Putting aside the human appearance, he used the methods of taming demons on it without any moral burden.

But it’s different for mixed-race people.

What's more, it is rumored that the first Queen Mother Medusa was a human mutation.

If you look into it, Princess Medusa may not be a demon, but at most a mutant human.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shen skipped over these ethical issues that even sociologists couldn't figure out, and asked directly: "There are many evil temples, which one is it? Let's rescue your mother quickly."

With Liuli Huang Yuyi around, nothing should go wrong as long as we are careful. Perhaps this will be an opportunity to make Xiaomei behave herself.

Princess Medusa was a little surprised.

She was ready to pay some price.

Unexpectedly, this guy agreed so readily without even negotiating terms with her.

In an instant, her impression of this unforgivable guy changed slightly.

"over there……"

Following the guidance of Princess Medusa, the two walked and talked.

According to Princess Medusa, there are eight such evil temples here, which were originally dedicated to the eight guardian souls.

After Queen Mother Medusa was on the verge of death, this place became the base camp of her eldest sister, the Scorpion Queen Medusa Sisna.

The fight for the throne has always been cruel, especially for her. Strictly speaking, she should be the Medusa with the purest bloodline, so she naturally became a thorn in Sisina's side.

Having lost the protection of the Queen Mother, she could only seek help from humans. However, she did not expect that Ethan was so unsportsmanlike. After noticing that her molting period was very regular, he had the crazy idea of ​​subduing her while she was weak.

The Sunset Temple was surrounded by military mages, and she couldn't even get close, so she could only think of a solution that was not a solution.

"So, the news that the treasure of Queen Mother Medusa is stored in the Sunset Temple is fake news you spread?"

Princess Medusa nodded helplessly and said, "This is the only way I can think of. As long as there are enough hunters, the military wizard will have to compromise. This is indeed the case. I relied on my human appearance to blend in with the hunter wizards and successfully entered the Sunset Temple."

"Do you have to shed your skin in the Sunset Temple? Not somewhere else?"

"I have a mark left by Ethan on my body. It will take a month for the molting to be complete. No matter where I hide during this period of time, he can easily find me. For me, only the Sunset Temple is relatively safe."

Xu Shen nodded suddenly.

I told you, Ethan only needs Asharuya to deal with the Burning Evil Eye, so why bother to find so many hunters?

This is the truth of the matter.

In this way, if it weren't for this uninvited guest, Xiaomei would not only be able to complete the molting but also take this opportunity to control Ethan and make the Egyptian military completely her umbrella of protection?

Xu Shen was somewhat impressed by this girl. She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a perfect grasp of human weaknesses.

Unfortunately, although the problem of Ethan's evil intentions was solved, her human mother is still in the evil temple.

This is her biggest weakness.

Although this girl coldly emphasized that she had no feelings for her human mother, she had to rescue her only to prevent her mother from becoming a means for Sisina to control her.

But how could Xu Shen not understand her feelings? Her anxious and expectant mood exposed her true emotions through the contract without leaving out any detail.

"Okay, if she really has no feelings, can she become a means for Sisina to control you? Don't worry, I won't threaten you with your mother."

Xu Shen's tone was gentle.

Princess Medusa was silent for a long time before she said with some disappointment: "My mother and I haven't seen each other for almost 200 years."

“Two hundred years?” Xu Shen was stunned. “Two hundred years. What the hell? Legal loli?”

"you!"

Princess Medusa was furious.

"Ahem." Xu Shen also felt that his reaction was a little strange. He quickly asked, "It's been two hundred years. Your mother is still alive?"

"She..." Princess Medusa said in a low voice, "She lost a lot of energy during her pregnancy. After giving birth to me, she was so weak that she had difficulty walking. When she was 23 years old, she was almost dying. Later, the Queen Mother sealed her in the magic weapon until now."

Xu Shen didn't know what to say.

If you calculate carefully, including the last life, it has been almost a hundred years since I last saw my mother.

The cenotaph still stands on the back mountain of Bo City.

Find some time to go home and visit.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

The moon was bright, the breeze was gentle, the demons and ghosts that walked at night chased after him, and the yellow sand rolled, covering Xu Shen who was hiding in the glass phoenix feather robe. "By the way, you should be able to shed your skin smoothly in my contract space, right?"

Princess Medusa snorted and agreed.

This guy's summoning magic is very special, and it makes her feel addicted.

Sometimes she really had the urge to just give in to him.

However, over the thousands of years, there have been so many monsters that have become contracted beasts of humans, but few of them have had a good ending.

Becoming a cannon fodder to cover your master's escape is the easiest way to die.

The most unfortunate thing is that they are still alive when their owner is old and dying.

Do you really think that once the old guy dies, your work will end and you'll be free again?

Are you kidding me, you naive little cutie.

Perhaps some wizards really think so when they are young, but that may not be the case before they die.

There is a high probability that their contracted beasts will die before their masters due to losing control of the contract and becoming a destabilizing factor in the human world.

Even if they don't, they will be coerced and bribed to become the next human's contracted beast, passed down from generation to generation, and will be enslaved until the end of their lives, without exception.

She never thought that Xu Shen's threat of "being buried alive" was just a threatening joke. This kind of thing was common in the human world.

From a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with this.

But this has also become the fundamental reason why demons are unwilling to be tamed.

The more intelligent the demons are, the more they can see through the essence of it. Once they are forced into a contract, their only choice is to seek various opportunities to commit suicide.

Princess Medusa secretly warned herself not to be tempted by humans' sugar-coated bullets and to not commit suicide again after rescuing her mother.

Xu Shen probably had some understanding of Princess Medusa's psychological activities.

This is the reason why this girl would rather die than surrender.

He thought for a moment, then said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It is said that any demon that can break through the emperor can break free from the seal of the contract. Your bloodline is not low. Do you want to challenge yourself?"

"From ancient times to now, has any contracted beast been able to surpass the emperor?"

Princess Medusa was so angry that she laughed.

Everyone can draw pie in the sky, but this bastard is not just drawing pie in the sky when he says this bullshit. He is dangling a carrot right in front of the donkey pulling the millstone.

This method of bullying the snake made it even more angry than the slap in the face before.

"You think I'll interfere?"

Princess Medusa snorted coldly and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Do you know the Oath Stone?"

Having lived for more than two hundred years, she naturally knew about this thing. He mentioned this, could it be that...

"I happen to have one."

Xu Shen said this, weighing a fist-sized stone in his hand.

Coincidentally, this piece was also obtained during the trip to Africa.

Thank you for the gift from Asharuya.

"What do you want to do?"

"Since you don't trust me, let's swear an oath. The oath is as follows: The contract between you and me will be terminated when you break through the emperor or I die. During this period, if I think your strength cannot keep up with mine, I have the right to terminate the contract. After the contract is terminated, I cannot continue to restrict your freedom for any reason, and you and I cannot become enemies.

During the contract period, I shall not have any subjective intention or behavior to let you die, nor any subjective intention or behavior to hinder your cultivation and advancement. And you must serve me wholeheartedly, and unless it is a life-and-death crisis, you must not refuse any of my orders, and you must not be passive and lazy. How do you dare to swear?"

"you!"

Princess Medusa felt extremely humiliated. She was furious and asked, "Do you think I will hold you back one day?"

Xu Shen said sincerely, "I thought you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, but you turned out to be an old demon who has lived for more than two hundred years. It took you two hundred years to reach the monarch level. Look at me, I am in my early twenties and already a high-level third-level. As long as I don't die young, isn't it a foregone conclusion that I will be stronger than you in my lifetime?"

Princess Medusa was silent.

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. There is no way to refute what this bastard said.

"What? I've already given in so much, but you still don't dare to swear an oath?"

"Stand up, stand up, who is afraid of who!"

Princess Medusa raised her eyebrows and said, "Also, my name is not Xiaomei, my name is Apas!"

This name was given to her by her human mother. She doesn't want to be called Xiaomei!
"ojbk!"

As long as this girl can work well, who cares what her name is.

Xu Shen has always been democratic.

"Also, I want to learn magic!"

"It's easy to talk about."
