In the room, Zhao Ming summoned Cai Lin directly.

As his gaze fell upon her, Cai Lin was as beautiful as ever.

Cai Lin exuded a natural allure—her slender, serpentine waist, her stunningly beautiful face, and her noble, captivating aura. Her skin was as fair as snow, drawing the attention of anyone who laid eyes on her.

Her features were both dignified and cold, yet her presence was irresistibly seductive.

Such a woman could only be described as a rare beauty.

Cai Lin was one of the most beautiful women in the Battle Through the Heavens universe, on par with Yun Yun, both possessing unmatched beauty and elegance. However, soon enough, Yun Yun would also be his.

"System, use the Puppet Power Boost Card on Medusa," Zhao Ming said calmly.

"Ding, the Puppet Power Boost Card has been successfully used."

"Ding, congratulations to Queen Medusa for obtaining the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's bloodline inheritance."

"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline inheritance?" Zhao Ming's eyes lit up with joy. The benefits Queen Medusa gained from the Puppet Power Boost Card were no less than what Yan Lingji had received before. The inheritance of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python would not disappoint.

In the original story, Queen Medusa had risked swallowing the Green Lotus Core Flame to evolve into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, nearly perishing in the process. Although she eventually succeeded, it left her in a weakened state for a period.

But now, with the system's assistance, Queen Medusa could directly acquire the purest bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python without any harm or side effects.

As Zhao Ming observed her, he noticed the powerful bloodline aura emanating from Queen Medusa.

Suddenly, a radiant seven-colored light shimmered across her body, illuminating the entire room with an extraordinary glow.

The dazzling light grew stronger, so intense that Zhao Ming could barely keep his eyes open. The room was filled with a refreshing fragrance that intoxicated him.

Zhao Ming recalled the description of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python in Battle Through the Heavens: its body is adorned with seven colors, its eyes tinged with purple, its form exudes a fragrant scent, and its strength… reaches the heavens.

His Cai Lin, Queen Medusa, carried a unique fragrance. After her evolution, she was bound to be even more stunning.

Zhao Ming felt a surge of anticipation as he released his soul power, sensing the bloodline energy flowing through Medusa.

The evolution process lasted for about an hour before the seven-colored light gradually faded.

It was only then that Zhao Ming saw the true form of Queen Medusa.

She wore a colorful silk robe that hugged her alluring figure, her voluptuous and curvaceous body exuding a seductive charm.

Her long, narrow lavender eyes shimmered with an irresistible allure, capable of captivating any man who looked upon her. Beneath her purple robe, her slender, perfectly shaped legs were the epitome of beauty.

Her delicate, porcelain-like feet were exposed beneath her long legs.

Noble, graceful, seductive, and cold.

Was this the Queen Medusa?

Such a Queen Medusa—having her would be a blessing in life.

"Cai Lin, you are so beautiful," Zhao Ming murmured, unable to contain his admiration.

Queen Medusa's enchanting eyes met Zhao Ming's. A hint of annoyance flashed in her autumn-like gaze. The name Cai Lin was her real name, known only to a select few. Only those closest to her ever addressed her this way. Hearing it now stirred something unusual within her. However, she knew she was Zhao Ming's puppet and felt a certain affection for him.

So, she said nothing.

"Thank you for today." Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes rested on Zhao Ming, and a hint of joy appeared on her cold face.

Evolving into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had been her lifelong dream, and she once thought it would never come true.

But to her surprise, everything happened so effortlessly.

Feeling the bloodline energy coursing through her, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"It's nothing, as long as you're awake," Zhao Ming smiled, unconcerned.

Such a beautiful Queen Medusa—if she could be happy, no treasure would matter to him.

Queen Medusa looked at Zhao Ming with a hint of tenderness. She could tell that his words were sincere. In his eyes, there was nothing but clarity—no hint of ulterior motives.

This impression warmed her heart.

In her view, she was merely Zhao Ming's puppet. If he wished, she would have no choice but to be his woman. But he hadn't done so.

"Though you are my puppet, I will not restrict your freedom. You may go wherever you wish or do whatever you want, even if it means leaving me."

Zhao Ming understood that even though Queen Medusa had become his puppet, her pride and nature would not allow her to be easily bound.

Queen Medusa was the Empress of the desert.

Winning her over required more than just their bond as martial spirits or a little affection.

Queen Medusa was different from Yan Lingji and the proud Yaya.

"Thank you, but rest assured, I won't leave. I just need some time to adjust." Queen Medusa's lips curved into a graceful smile as she looked at Zhao Ming, a hint of warmth on her stunning face.

"While I was asleep, you didn't refrain from your actions, and I haven't held you accountable yet," Queen Medusa said, recalling Zhao Ming's past behavior. She felt a tinge of embarrassment.

In the past, if anyone else had dared such actions, she would have torn them apart in rage. However, with Zhao Ming, she couldn't muster such anger; instead, she felt something unusual.

"I was only trying to stimulate your meridians to help you wake up sooner," Zhao Ming smiled, stepping forward. He stood less than a meter from Queen Medusa, close enough to catch the intense fragrance emanating from her.

Queen Medusa was stunning, but Zhao Ming remained still.

He simply stood there, appreciating her presence.

The two stood quietly, the room silent. Zhao Ming could hear Queen Medusa's soft breaths and heartbeat, and she could hear his as well.

The puppet martial spirit was a gift from the system.

The puppets Zhao Ming summoned naturally had a maximum level of affection toward him. Queen Medusa had only just appeared and was still adjusting to him. But Zhao Ming knew that if he tried hard enough, winning her heart was only a matter of time.

That was the power of a maximum level of affection.

Even if he were to act inappropriately toward her now, she wouldn't feel much resentment toward him.

Yet, Zhao Ming felt disdain for this aspect of the system's design. Medusa was beautiful—so beautiful it was captivating. How could he, just because of some system-imposed setting, violate her?

What he wanted was for Queen Medusa to genuinely fall in love with him.

Until then, he wouldn't make any improper moves.

His puppets, whether Yan Lingji, Yaya, Cai Lin, or the soon-to-be-acquired Yun Yun, were more than just puppets to him. His love for them was no less than his affection for Xiao Wu and the others. In fact, due to the martial spirit connection, there was an even deeper bond.
