Bang!
A dull thud accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh reached Hu Jia's ears.
But she didn't feel any pain at all.
Hu Jia slowly opened her eyes and saw a broad back.

"You, a Great Dou Shi at peak, dare to provoke a Fifth-Rank Magical Beast? You've got some guts," Xiao Li glanced at her.
"Xiao Li?" Seeing his face clearly, Hu Jia was somewhat surprised.
She hadn't expected that the one who saved her would be Xiao Li.
Meanwhile, the Fifth-Rank Thorn Tiger had already been cut into four pieces and lay on the ground.
"Can you get up and walk yourself?"
The faint sounds of other Magical Beasts came from the mountain forest.
This place was part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range; there certainly wouldn't be just this one Magical Beast.
Hearing this, Hu Jia tried to stand up, but with a surge of strength, a tearing pain shot through her chest, making her pretty face instantly turn pale.
Her injuries were severe.
Seeing her try but fail to stand, Xiao Li didn't waste words and directly bent down to pick Hu Jia up.
"You don't need to carry me…"
Hu Jia mumbled in a low voice, being very stubborn.
She was still resentful about Xiao Li spanking her.
Although Xiao Li had saved her now, it couldn't instantly resolve the resentment in her heart.
"Stay put honestly. If you dare to move, I'll throw you down," Xiao Li's tone was domineering, leaving Hu Jia no room to refute.
Held in his arms, Hu Jia could smell his robust masculine scent and didn't find it repulsive.
When she was in the Outer Academy, many people rumored that she didn't like men but preferred women.
Because she had never had intimate contact with any man and spent all her time with Xun'er.
So, being misunderstood was normal.
In fact, she didn't dislike men; she just felt that those men were too weak and unworthy of her.
Only girls like Xun'er, who were strong, fragrant, and soft, were worthy of her affection.
Xiao Li was very strong and handsome.
From the perspective of strength and appearance, he actually met Hu Jia's requirements.
But because their first encounter involved Xun'er, and Xiao Li had even spanked her, Hu Jia had always been very unhappy.
Her feelings for Xiao Li were also veiled by a layer of anger.
Only now, after being saved by Xiao Li,
Hu Jia suddenly realized that this guy wasn't so annoying after all… Back in the Inner Academy, Xiao Li directly took Hu Jia back to her dormitory and then conveniently gave her a pill.
"This is for both internal and external injuries. After taking it, your injuries should be fine."
Taking the pill, Hu Jia lowered her head slightly and softly said, "Xiao Li, thank you…"
This was the first time she had lowered her guard in front of Xiao Li.
"Next time, be careful yourself. Don't just go anywhere."
Leaving a sentence, Xiao Li departed… Back in the dormitory.
Little Fairy Doctor and Xun'er were both absent.
Xiao Li thought for a moment, having nothing to do, and entered the boundless realm again.
Medusa was left there by him.
The space was empty and boundless, but no matter what she did, she couldn't escape.
When Xiao Li entered the boundless realm again, Medusa was naturally teleported in front of him.
"It seems you've recovered well," Xiao Li's lips curved into a meaningful smile as he looked at the vibrant Medusa.
"Xiao Li, how long do you intend to keep this King imprisoned?!" Medusa angrily rebuked.
"Until you willingly submit to me."
"You dream!"
Medusa refused without thinking.
The result, naturally, was a severe lesson from Xiao Li.
Even if her true form was the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, she couldn't withstand Xiao Li's stormy and frantic attacks.
After another three hours of exhaustion, Medusa gasped for breath, lying on the ground, her beautiful eyes still filled with hatred.
"Xiao Li… this King will absolutely never yield!"
Looking at Medusa, who remained steadfast and unyielding, Xiao Li also admired her.
So, he could only drop a bombshell: "By the way, you already have my child within you."
As expected, upon hearing this, Medusa's eyes instantly widened.
"You… what did you say?"
This news struck Medusa like a bolt of lightning, making her unable to accept it.
"Whether you want to accept it or not, it's already a fact. With your current Dou Zong cultivation, you should be able to feel a second life within you, right?" Xiao Li said.
Actually, he found one point in the original work very absurd: Medusa was pregnant, but she herself didn't notice it; instead, it was discovered by an elder of the Snake-People Tribe.
As a dignified Dou Zong expert, how could she not even feel a life within her?
At this moment, Medusa, hearing his words, indeed carefully sensed within her body.
Indeed… there was a life within her.
Though tiny, it was truly and clearly present!
"How is this possible…"
Medusa murmured in a daze.
Even though she was a queen, proud and unyielding.
Yet, upon learning this, she surprisingly felt a sense of helplessness, like an ordinary young girl.
"You should calm down properly."
Leaving her in the boundless realm, Xiao Li went out alone… Night had fallen.
The lights in Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor's rooms were already on, indicating they had both returned.
Xiao Li thought for a moment and didn't disturb them, but returned to his own room.
But not long after, there was a knock on his room door.
"Brother Xiao Li, are you asleep?"
It was Xun'er.
Xiao Li quickly went to open the door and saw the beautiful girl outside.
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Xun'er walked into his room, her pretty face showing a hint of sadness.
"What happened? Did someone upset you?"
The girl shook her head, her bright eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at Xiao Li: "Brother Xiao Li, I might… have to leave."
Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately understood what she meant.
"You're returning to the Gu Clan?"
"Yes. Actually, before Brother Xiao Li came to Jia Nan Academy, the clan was already urging me, but I couldn't bear to leave Brother Xiao Li, so I kept delaying my return."
"But now the clan has issued a death order; someone will come to pick me up tomorrow, and I must go back."
Xun'er's face was full of reluctance; she hugged Xiao Li tightly, her voice carrying a slight sob.
"Brother Xiao Li, I can't bear to leave you…"
She had finally waited for Xiao Li to come to Jia Nan Academy, but before she could properly enjoy their happy moments, they had to part again.
Xiao Li gently stroked her back, comforting her softly.
"Xun'er, don't worry, one day I will personally go to the Gu Clan to propose marriage. Wait for me."
That day would not be too far off.
As long as he reached Dou Sheng, he could openly go to Gu Yuan to propose marriage!
"Mm… I believe in Brother Xiao Li."
Xun'er hugged him tightly, her heart full of reluctance… Early the next morning, people from the Gu Clan arrived at Jia Nan Academy.
Su Qian quickly came out to personally greet them…
