Chapter 17 - Medusa's Breakthrough!

Chapter 17: Medusa’s Breakthrough!

“Miss Cui Bei Xi greets the Young Master…”

After finishing his bath, Chen Fan realized it was already evening. It seemed that he had spent quite a long time in the junkyard space.

Entering the living room, Chen Fan saw the Western Medusa, Cui Bei Xi, who had already awakened. When she saw Chen Fan, she respectfully bowed.

Chen Fan was slightly surprised. He couldn’t understand the language of this Medusa at all, but he could still understand her meaning. It seemed that the system had repaired her, and they had established a binding connection, allowing them to communicate mentally.

“No need for such formalities…” Chen Fan shook his head and said softly.

If nothing else, he believed that this Medusa could understand his meaning.

“By the way, where are you from?” Chen Fan asked.

“I… am from the Aegean Continent…” Cui Bei Xi replied. “I am a priestess… Thank you very much for saving me.”

“Aegean Continent, a priestess…” Chen Fan murmured. “That makes sense. The Ba Xia must also be from that world.”

He had gotten the answer he was looking for.

“Rest well for now. I’ll continue your treatment later,” Chen Fan said.

This Medusa was a priestess—a proper healer. What Chen Fan didn’t know was whether her blessing song would be useful to him.

“Mm…”

Cui Bei Xi softly responded and closed her eyes.

“Young Master, you can actually communicate with her?” The Medusa Queen was surprised.

“It’s a special ability of mine,” Chen Fan smiled.

“What about you?” Chen Fan asked. He felt that the Western Medusa had understood the situation, likely due to the Queen’s explanation.

“My mental strength is quite powerful,” the Medusa Queen smiled. “So, I can communicate on a mental level.”

“That makes sense,” Chen Fan nodded. “Let me restore your strength to its peak.”

“Can you do that?” The Medusa Queen was incredulous.

Although Chen Fan had healed her injuries before, she assumed that it was a kind of miraculous medical skill, which she could understand.

But now, Chen Fan was saying he could restore her strength?

She couldn’t understand where his confidence came from, as his cultivation was much weaker than hers.

“Trust me!”

Chen Fan said confidently. “Sometimes, I can do things that others can’t.”

“Once your strength is restored, break through as quickly as you can. After you’ve broken through, I’ll have something I need you to help with.”

Chen Fan was very confident. He trusted the credibility of the auction house, but the issue with the dragon corpse was too significant.

He felt it was crucial to have a powerful ally for protection, and the Medusa Queen was his best option.

Cui Bei Xi, being a priestess, had no combat ability herself, but she could enhance others’ combat power through her blessing song.

Thus, Chen Fan planned to heal her fully and see if her song could benefit either him or the Medusa Queen.

If so, with her cooperation, the Queen could likely handle ordinary, extraordinary powerhouses.

“All right!” The Medusa Queen, seeing Chen Fan’s confidence, no longer hesitated and sat down cross-legged.

“Let’s begin…” Chen Fan came to the Queen’s back, placed his palm on her back, and connected with the system.

“Deducting 4,000 points. Completely restoring the Medusa Queen.”

A system notification rang out, and immediately, white light erupted from Chen Fan’s palm, enveloping the Medusa Queen.

For a moment, the Medusa Queen felt the familiar warm embrace, her body fully relaxed, and her mind completely liberated.

“Hum…”

The Medusa Queen’s aura began to recover, growing stronger and stronger, and a powerful pressure began to spread around her.

“So strong!”

Chen Fan was amazed and, more than anything, pleased. The stronger the Medusa Queen became, the better it was for him.

“Boom!”

After an unknown amount of time, the Medusa Queen’s cultivation fully recovered and returned to its peak. Her overwhelming aura caused the air around her to stir.

At this moment, the white light from Chen Fan’s palm had disappeared.

The Medusa Queen had not yet awakened, seemingly immersed in a moment of enlightenment, ready to break through in one go.

“Ha…”

Chen Fan exhaled and retracted his palm. He noticed that Cui Bei Xi had returned to her room, likely because she couldn’t withstand the pressure emanating from the Medusa Queen.

Thinking for a moment, Chen Fan walked toward the room.

“Young Master…” Cui Bei Xi nervously turned to him as he entered. Her voice trembled slightly.

At the same time, she felt incredibly discouraged. Back in the Aegean Continent, she was a figure of some renown, but now, in this unfamiliar world, she felt so weak.

She couldn’t even endure the aura released by others.

“I’ll heal your injuries first,” Chen Fan said with a smile.

“Heal my injuries?” Cui Bei Xi glanced at the wounds on her body, her face turning slightly red.

“No need to think too much about it,” Chen Fan said, realizing what she was thinking.

“You don’t need to undress; I only need to place my palm on your back.”

“Oh…”

Cui Bei Xi blushed deeper, realizing her misunderstanding, and nodded, embarrassed.

“All right…”

“Let’s begin…”

Chen Fan said, moving behind her, connecting with the system again, and placing his palm on her back. White light began to emanate from his palm once more.

Cui Bei Xi’s wounds were only surface injuries and could be easily healed without much cost. After all, her fatal wounds had already been treated.

Not long after, Chen Fan finished healing her, deducting around 500 points.

“Boom!!”

At that moment, a powerful aura surged from outside, slamming into the room. The pressure swept over them.

“Young Master…” Cui Bei Xi was frightened, quickly turning to run into Chen Fan’s arms, trembling with fear. The aura was so overwhelming, it left her unable to move.

“So soon, a breakthrough!” Chen Fan was amazed. It seemed the Medusa Queen’s potential and talent had been greatly enhanced.
