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

That day, Medusa was watering the flowers in the backyard with Thesis as usual, while Bass tactfully ran to the garbage dump to play by himself.

Flowers are beautiful, but they can't bloom for long.

All they got was a small bag of flower seeds, but it was thanks to Bass's ability that they were able to grow a large area of ​​them.

Some flowers are actually not yet ready to bloom, but are forced to wither before long.

Medusa didn't need to grow flowers every day to cultivate her sentiments, but if she continued like this, there would be no legitimate reason for Thesis to accompany her.

After thinking it over, Medusa finally came up with a suitable answer: "Don't you often go to the garbage dump behind to pick up things? I have good eyesight, so I can follow you and help you avoid risks."

"Even this is not appropriate. There are all kinds of messy things piled together in the garbage dump. You never know when an accident might happen. Even I only dare to look for things on the periphery." said Thesis.

Medusa was unhappy: "You also know that kind of place is not safe, how can I let you go alone?"

"Does this count as caring about me?"

"Dangdang... Of course... In case anything happens to you, someone will help me water the flowers."

Thesis' question made Medusa panic. She pointed at the few sparse flowers at her feet and found an excuse for herself that they were rotten to the point that they couldn't be rotten anymore.

No matter how stupid Thesis was, he couldn't help but doubt whether such a small number of flowers really needed his help to take care of them.

In a hurry, Medusa changed her strategy and came up with a new excuse: "It's boring to stay here all day. The garbage dump is not far from here. I think my parents won't blame me if I go and have a look."

"But you can see things far away, otherwise you wouldn't know who I am."

"Oh, what's the point of just watching? It's fun to practice it yourself!"

Medusa was almost crying with anxiety. How could Thesis, who was usually so dull, be so sharp at this moment? He almost guessed her true thoughts.

Seeing the girl's increasingly frustrated expression, Thesis quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, I promise you. But you have to promise not to leave my side no matter what, so that even if there is any accident, I can still help you."

"Okay!" As soon as these words came out, Medusa immediately got rid of her previous decadence, and her pretty little face was radiant, which made Thesis suspect that Medusa seemed to be tricking him.

But what could he do? He couldn't remain indifferent to that pitiful, beautiful face that made his heart beat faster.

Medusa, who had succeeded in pretending to be pitiful, showed a satisfied smile on her face. She was about to say a few more words to fool Thesis into believing her completely, but she found that he had empty eyes and stood there motionless.

This frightened Medusa, and she waved her hands wildly in front of Thesis, but there was no response.

Then she shook Thesis' body wildly, but it didn't move at all.

It was not just Thesis that showed abnormality. The flowers that were originally sparse suddenly bloomed in full bloom.

Lily of the valley, rose, red spider lily, forget-me-not, snapdragon, etc., all brightly colored flowers belong to different seasons, but they bloom at the same time.

Even with Bass's power, he couldn't do such a thing, not to mention that Thesis was still fixed here, and was far more powerful than he could imagine.

In the sea of ​​blooming flowers, a green sika deer slowly walked towards Medusa.

It has a pair of very beautiful antlers, which are wrapped with green vines full of small flowers, exuding a strong breath of life.

Its toes lightly tap the ground, and flowers bloom at its feet like springs. The scene is so beautiful.

Medusa was stunned for a moment, and only reacted when the sika deer came to her. She asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

"The Elf Queen, Xiyue." The deer's body shape changed, and a beautiful woman in a green shirt appeared in front of her.

The moment she heard the name, Medusa almost instinctively wanted to kneel down.

But she soon realized that this legendary fairy-like being was not a human monarch, and kneeling down suddenly would only cause her more trouble.

Medusa tried to stay calm and asked in a seemingly steady tone: "Are you here to see Bass?"

"It seems that you have noticed it." Xiyue's voice was very gentle, but it gave people a sacred and inviolable majesty: "After the child left, I was worried and kept observing him in secret. However, I showed up this time to see you."

"Me?" Medusa's face was full of confusion.

"Yes, I want to make a deal with you." The voice was still gentle but filled with alienation: "I will pass on the power of the Elf Queen to you."

"!!!"

Medusa was completely confused. She tried to understand the implicit message in Xiyue's words, but no matter how she looked at it, it was just as it meant. The Elf Queen Xiyue wanted to give her power to her.

She asked in a trembling voice: "Wait, why is it me... Can the power of the Elf Queen be given to others so casually?"

"The power of the Elf Queen is a legacy and can be passed on to the right person." Xiyue explained: "After a period of observation, I can tell you clearly, Miss Medusa, you are qualified to inherit it."

"This is incredible." Medusa was dizzy and still hadn't reacted: "I'm just an ordinary girl. I can't afford this kind of identity, nor can I pay the corresponding price."

Xiyue smiled and looked at Tesis: "I can feel your love for him. This is very precious. There was once a couple named Lilith and Shennongyou who had the same friendship as you. They worked together to create countless miracles. In you, I see the same possibility."

Medusa blushed and said, "Please don't say that, Lord Xiyue, I'm not that great."

She hesitated and said, "So, what is the price you are talking about?"

Xiyue replied: "Accept the inheritance of the Elf Queen, you will gain eternal life and supreme power, but correspondingly, you must also shoulder heavy responsibilities."

"Does this mean that I have to separate from him?" Medusa was very reluctant, with resistance written all over her body.

However, Xiyue's next words made her mood instantly fall to the bottom: "You are destined to be separated. This power can at least help you protect him."

Medusa's beautiful eyes lost their luster, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She remained silent for who knows how long before she spoke with determination: "Fate? How cruel it is."

But then, her dim eyes suddenly became bright and moving: "If that is my fate, I will fight with him until the last moment and will never accept the fate of separation."

"Mr. Xiyue, thank you for choosing to trust me, but I cannot accept this request." Medusa bowed deeply to her: "I am used to resisting and never bow to fate."

"Oh, I knew you would say that." Xiyue sighed helplessly.

Seeing her slightly wrinkled brows filled with happy worries, Medusa couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, why do you want to give up this power?"

Hearing this, Xiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful and charming smile: "I fell in love with someone, and I want to stay with him forever as a human being. Even though I know that such happiness will not last long."

"Isn't your real body here?" Medusa noticed that Xiyue's body was translucent and there were no elf's iconic four-leaf wings on her back.

"Yes, I have waited for the past for too long. It is time to say goodbye to the past and pursue my own happiness."

Even though it was just an illusion, her happiness was still evident when she mentioned her lover: "I am probably married to him now. I am only here to find the shadow left by the one who inherited the legacy."

"Fate is cruel, I hope your perseverance will be rewarded."

The Elf Queen's body gradually turned into light dust and dissipated. Before leaving, she asked Medusa to help convey a message to Basilisk.

During the time she observed Medusa, Xiyue had already understood her character and knew that she would definitely not accept it.

Even so, she came.

Perhaps from the beginning, all she wanted to do was to tell Basilisk this: "My friend, don't blame yourself. Wuxin and I both know that you would never take the initiative to hurt anyone."

After saying this, she completely disappeared from Medusa's sight.
