Turn Waste Into Treasure: Pick Up Medusa In Suspended Animation At The Beginning

"You're too kind, young master."

In response to Xiao Chen's suggestion, Medusa did not refuse, but instead showed a faint smile.

"Although I am not a kind-hearted person, I understand the importance of repaying kindness."

"Young master Xiao has saved my life. No matter what trouble you encounter, I will do my best to help you solve it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes brightened, and he found Medusa even more pleasing to the eye.

It is worth noting that in rumors,

Medusa, the snake person, is known as a ruthless queen, but in front of him, she is as obedient as a little sister next door.

If the elders of the snake people were to see this, their snake tails would probably be too shocked to stand up.

"It just so happens that my current situation is a bit special, and I need you to help me cover it up."

When Xiao Chen felt satisfied with the Medusa queen, he explained the situation to her in response to her puzzled expression.

He was worried about finding a reason to deceive others about his transformation.

Having the Medusa queen appear now actually made things much simpler.

Creak...

Just as Xiao Chen finished explaining things to Medusa, a creaking sound followed, and the closed door was opened.

"Young master, it's time for your medicine..."

As Xiao Chen and Medusa turned their gaze towards the sound, a girl in pink walked in, carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Ah!! A snake... a snake person?!"

Before the girl could finish her words, upon seeing Medusa in front of her, her face turned pale with fright.

And the bowl of medicine in her hands fell to the ground with a snap.

Because the snake people and humans are incompatible, it is widely believed in the Great Qian Dynasty that snake people are cruel and heartless monsters.

Not only do they enjoy killing humans, but they also violate them.

Therefore, cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty have a fear of the snake people.

"No need to panic, she is one of us."

Seeing the girl trembling in fear, Xiao Chen couldn't help but call out helplessly.

She is his personal maid, Yun Xi, who has just turned sixteen this year.

Upon seeing this, Medusa only furrowed her brows slightly, glanced at Yun Xi, and then withdrew her gaze.

"Young... young master?!"

"Are you healed?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yun Xi finally noticed Xiao Chen standing beside her, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Chen was half-dead and looked like he was about to die, but now he could stand up.

And his complexion was rosy and radiant, completely unlike someone who had suffered serious injuries.

This made her little head buzz.

"Well, what about my father?"

Xiao Chen didn't answer much, just waved his hand and changed the subject.

According to his memories,

because of his mother's death when he was young, his adoptive father is very protective of him.

Seeing the miserable state of his original body not long ago, he must be burning with anger.

If he impulsively fought against the Taiyi Sword Sect, the Xiao family would probably get into even bigger trouble.

"He... after obtaining the Black Jade Resurrection Ointment for you, he couldn't bear it and went to the Taiyi Sword Sect to demand an explanation."

"But Lin Feng has already become a disciple of the Taiyi Sword Sect's elders."

"Not only did they ignore my father's words, but they also directly attacked him and threw him out. After my father came back, he vomited a lot of blood."

"The most outrageous thing is..."

"The high-level members of the Lin family in Tiandu City heard about my father's trouble at the Taiyi Sword Sect and declared that the Xiao family must compensate them with one million spirit crystals within three days."

"If they can't come up with this compensation after three days, they will expel the Xiao family from Liuyun City."

As she finished speaking,

Yun Xi was already sobbing, her pretty face filled with worry.

She was adopted by Xiao Zhan since she was young, and although she stayed by Xiao Chen's side as a maid, Xiao Zhan treated her and Xiao Chen like family.

Now that the two father and son have gotten into such trouble, she feels helpless because she is too weak to help.

This makes her feel extremely guilty.

"Alright, stop crying."

"With me here, the Xiao family won't collapse!"

Looking at Yun Xi, who was sobbing uncontrollably, Xiao Chen walked slowly towards her and rubbed her head.

After saying these two sentences calmly, he walked towards the Xiao family's council hall.

Just as he walked out of the door, there was a cold gleam in his eyes.

Although he had just crossed over, he had no feelings for Xiao Zhan.

He had no sense of belonging to this family either.

But his current identity was Xiao Chen, the only son of the head of the Xiao family, and the young master elected by the Xiao family.

As long as this family didn't make him feel cold-hearted.

He had the responsibility and obligation to protect this family on behalf of the original owner.

After seeing this scene, Medusa's eyes flickered slightly, and she twisted her waist to catch up.

...

At the same time.

Inside the Xiao family's council chamber.

"Damn Taiyi Sword Sect, damn Tiandu City's Lin family, they are simply too much!"

After learning about everything, the elder of the Xiao family angrily slammed the tea table and shattered the table in front of him.

Taiyi Sword Sect, as a top sect within the Great Qian Empire, not only ignored the fact that their disciples disabled others during the assessment.

They also took them in as disciples and protected them, severely injuring the head of their Xiao family.

And the Lin family of Tiandu City.

Relying on the support of the elders of Taiyi Sword Sect, they actually demanded that the Xiao family pay one million spirit crystals as compensation?!

It should be noted that one spirit crystal is equivalent to one hundred gold coins, and one million spirit crystals is one hundred million gold coins.

Even if the Xiao family sold all their assets, they would not be able to come up with such a huge amount of compensation.

This was clearly an attempt to force the Xiao family into a dead end!

"Master, why don't we visit Lord Liu in Flowing Cloud City? Maybe he can help us resolve the situation."

In the midst of the elder's rage.

The second elder, who was more calm, furrowed his brows and made his suggestion.

Lord Liu Tianan, the lord of Flowing Cloud City, had reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm in cultivation.

If he were to intervene, the situation might not be too bad.

"It's useless..."

Xiao Zhan coughed up blood at the words, his fists involuntarily clenched.

"Before returning to the family, I wanted to visit Lord Liu Tianan, but he refused me at the door."

"Without a deep personal relationship and sufficient benefits, the Lord's Mansion will not lend a hand this time."

In addition to the Lord's Mansion, there were three other major families in Flowing Cloud City.

In the past, the Lord's Mansion took care of the Xiao family, but it was only to balance the three major families and consolidate the Lord's Mansion's position.

But if they wanted the Lord's Mansion to intercede for the Xiao family and provoke Taiyi Sword Sect and the Lin family of Tiandu City.

That was clearly impossible!

"It seems that the Xiao family is about to face a great calamity this time."

After Xiao Zhan's words fell, despair filled the hall.

"Activate the family bloodline transfer plan, I will stay behind to deal with them."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhan slowly raised his head.

"Master?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words, the three elders suddenly looked up, unable to hide their change in expression.

The bloodline transfer plan.

This was a plan that the high-level members of the Xiao family had discussed, and it would only be activated when the Xiao family was in a life-or-death situation.

The price was that the hundreds of years of foundation the Xiao family had built in Flowing Cloud City would be lost.

"No need to say anything."

Seeing that the three elders wanted to say something, Xiao Zhan raised his hand to stop them and continued with a heavy tone.

"The calamity that the Xiao family has encountered this time is caused by the two of us, father and son."

"Let the two of us stay behind to deal with it."

"The three of you lead the Xiao family to leave Flowing Cloud City and find a new path for the Xiao family."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan slowly closed his eyes, his face filled with exhaustion.

As a father, he couldn't stand by and watch his son being humiliated.

As the head of the family, he couldn't let the entire family be ruined because of personal grievances.

So he let the Xiao family relocate as a whole to avoid these conflicts, while he stayed behind to understand the Lin family.

This was undoubtedly the best solution.

"Master, we are not cowards who fear death!"

After hearing Xiao Zhan's decision, the three elders shouted loudly.

For hundreds of years.

The Xiao family was able to quickly establish a foothold in Flowing Cloud City from a declining family.

It relied on their determination and the unity among their clan members.

Now they were being asked to abandon Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chen and move the entire family, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation for them.
