I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

After a period of hard work, Thesis removed all the weeds in the backyard, planted the flower seeds smoothly, and got new clothes from Medusa.

At first, he kept the clothes with great care, and as expected, he was scolded by Medusa.

"Since you don't want to wear new clothes, how about getting them dirty before wearing them?"

"That's a good idea."

Medusa wanted to mock Thesis indirectly, but he actually thought it was appropriate. She laughed out of anger: "Who cares? You have to wear it anyway. It's not a valuable item. Don't keep it at home every day."

Thesis pleaded aggrievedly: "But what if my clothes get dirty?"

"Wash it if it's dirty, and I'll mend it for you if it's torn. As long as you take care of the flower garden, I'll provide you with enough clothes. After all, this is my only place for entertainment." Medusa said with a smile.

"Your family isn't so rich that you can just give away clothes, right?"

"Yes, these were originally saved for my dowry. Rich people look down on me, and ordinary people only want to enslave me. Getting married is of no benefit to me. I'd rather spend more time on entertainment."

Thesis had been worried that Medusa could not afford the promised reward, but after hearing what she said, he understood.

This was Medusa's nature. She never became proud of her beauty or intelligence, but would only sneer at anyone who tried to trample on her self-esteem.

While having dinner with her parents in the evening, Medusa was silent as usual.

She could not resist her parents' dictatorship and could only express her dissatisfaction with silent indifference.

Medusa usually ignored them no matter what they said, but this time, her father's words made her tremble all over: "That child is pretty good."

Medusa pretended to be silent, trying to hide her inner panic.

Her father added, "He is an honest man, but it takes a long time to see through a person. Don't trust your initial judgment too much."

Medusa was obviously still a little shocked: "Father, are you talking about Thesis?"

"Who else could it be but him? Damn brat, he actually approached my daughter with that harmless appearance." He pounded the edge of the dining table hard, trying to vent his inner dissatisfaction.

Medusa hesitated slightly: "Father, how did you know?"

"I knew it the day after that guy came." He said unhappily, "You are just like your mother. You always look down on others."

Medusa turned her head and looked at her mother. Her mature and beautiful face showed her usual gentle smile, but she was squeezing her husband's arm hard. "Don't take the opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with me when you are educating your daughter."

Medusa quickly understood what was going on: "Have you two known this for a long time?"

"Of course, I'm not as slow as your father." The mother puffed out her chest proudly, while her husband beside her looked at her with contempt.

That expression seemed to be saying: Aren’t you taking this opportunity to criticize me?

Seeing that her daughter was still on guard, the mother added: "It's okay to just play in the backyard. We won't stop you."

Medusa was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. After a while, she asked in amazement, "Really?"

"Of course, even if I lock you in the room, given your personality, you won't do needlework seriously. Taking care of flowers and plants is also something girls should do. There will be no danger, and I will feel at ease with you, child." said the mother with a smile.

Her father seemed to be still saying something like "I'll keep a close eye on that kid", but Medusa was too excited to listen.

She rose from the table and bowed ceremoniously.

The next day, when Medusa was repairing the garden with Tethys, she took the initiative to talk about this matter, and still found it incredible.

Tessis accepted it calmly: "If they are really your parents, they will at least care about your feelings."

"If they really loved me, they wouldn't have imprisoned me in a room."

"But your parents also tacitly allowed you to be friends with a man of unknown origin, didn't they?"

Medusa buried her head in her arms in disappointment. When she heard what Thesis said, she subconsciously retorted, "No, my parents have already dug up your background thoroughly, so they are confident in letting me contact you."

"Because I'm a poor boy?"

"Your home is not far from here. If you do anything to offend me, you can escape the temple but not the monk."

Tethys laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's absolutely true."

They got a lot of flower seeds, such as lily of the valley, carnations, tulips, roses, cornflowers, etc., which bloom in all seasons.

Some may even only open once every several years.

Moreover, these flowers will not bloom the next day after being planted, so the waiting process will be rather boring.

Just at this time, a visitor came to their flower garden.

A giant snake that was gray all over and as thick as Thesis' arm.

"Stand back, let me handle it!" Thesis thought that he must protect Medusa at all costs, but he didn't expect her to push his arm away gently, and he said to himself: "This guy seems to be injured."

"Injury? Isn't this something we should consider?"

"Oh, didn't you see that its eyes were blind? And judging by the injuries, it must have hit itself."

Thesis was still worried about Medusa's safety, but she was not worried at all.

This leisurely attitude infected Thesis, and he also let down his guard and carefully observed the white giant snake: "I can't tell."

"It's Thesis after all, it's normal that you can't see it."

"You really never miss any opportunity to harm me."

Medusa can see many details that ordinary people cannot detect, just like she can know what is happening outside without leaving the house. It is a very magical ability.

Just as she said, the big white snake in front of her had indeed blinded its own eyes. If you were not frightened by its overly terrifying body, it would not be difficult to see that the snake had no intention of attacking.

Even whether it was aware of Medusa and Thesis is debatable.

The snake did not make any further moves, which gave Medusa a chance to observe carefully.

She thought seriously for a while before she said, "This guy seems to be a monster."

“Demon, demon, demon, demon, demon beast?” Thesis was so scared that his soul almost left his body: “Shouldn’t that thing be in Junyin Mountain? Why did it run out?!”

"It seems that the snake-shaped monster is an exception. Can't the cold-sound snake move around at the foot of the mountain?" Medusa patted Thesis' shoulder to calm him down.

She knew that Tessis was actually very timid. While she absolutely trusted her brother, she would often subconsciously only trust his judgment and refuse to interact with the outside world.

This is also the reason why he often goes out to work alone but doesn't make any friends.

He is indeed strong, but no matter how strong he is, Thesis is just a poor boy who lost his parents when he was young and can only depend on his brother.

Medusa did not hate Thesis's cowardice. On the contrary, she felt very satisfied that he stood behind her when she was afraid.

"This place is a long distance away from Junyin Mountain. If that giant snake really kills people, Liuguang City would have been in chaos long ago. It's impossible that we haven't heard any news at all." Medusa said softly.

After hearing her explanation, Thesis was not as scared as before and took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Hi?"

The white snake monster seems to be different from ordinary snakes. After losing its eyes, it mainly perceives through sound.

However, when it heard the noise coming from Thesis's side, it subconsciously wanted to escape.

"Please wait!"

For some reason, Tethys called out to it.

Perhaps he saw Thales's former self in this big white snake.

That kind of inferiority and loneliness gives people a very similar feeling.

The white giant snake really stopped, and there was clearly no movement. However, Medusa and Thesis could clearly hear a young girl's childish voice ringing in their ears: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
