BTTH: Starting from Capturing the Goddess-Chapter 24 - : Binding a Goddess—Queen Medusa

Queen Medusa's face was ice-cold as crimson Dou Qi surged from her body. If Chen Mo dared to say another word, she would undoubtedly strike him down with a single palm.

Chen Mo instinctively shrank back.

This wasn't cowardice—it was self-preservation.

Die knew that if they separated tonight, the earliest they could meet again would be in three months. So, she clung to Queen Medusa's arm, gently swaying her body:

"Good sister, please, let me talk to him alone for a bit."

"No."

"Please, sister..." Die murmured, even nuzzling against Queen Medusa's chest.

Queen Medusa, unable to handle such behavior, pushed Die away and walked toward the door. Just as she reached the entrance, she turned her head and said coldly:

"Three minutes. No more."

"Thank you, sister!" Die said happily and ran toward her.

Queen Medusa thought Die was coming to hug her and instinctively opened her arms.

To her surprise, Die rushed past her and shut the door instead.

Clack!

Queen Medusa's fingers clenched tightly, a murderous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She made up her mind—tomorrow, she would properly teach that human a lesson.

Behind Closed Doors

Inside the room, Die shyly placed her hands behind her back, interlacing her fingers and squeezing them tightly.

Her delicate face was flushed red, as if one could wring water from it. Slowly, she walked toward Chen Mo, her voice as soft as a whisper:

"Why did you want to be alone with me?"

Chen Mo didn't respond. Instead, he took two steps forward, wrapped his arms around Die's slender waist, pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Mm...!"

Die was stunned, her wide eyes filled with shock. She was so caught off guard that she didn't even know how to resist.

[Ding! Favorability +6. Acquired Xuan Class Intermediate Dou Technique—Soaring Dragon Steps. Kiss Bonus Triggered: Acquired Great Sun Indestructible Body.]

[Ding! Host has reached Level 2. A new goddess can now be bound. Searching...]

[Search complete. Bound Goddess—Queen Medusa.]

[Ding! Goddess—Die's favorability has reached the maximum of 100. She can now become a Dao Companion. Future favorability gains will still grant rewards, but they will no longer accumulate favorability points or host experience.]

"What the hell?!"

Chen Mo was so shocked that he quickly pushed Die away.

Still dazed from the kiss, Die was momentarily lost, unable to process what had just happened.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, turned slightly pale.

Are you kidding me?

Binding Queen Medusa?

How the hell am I supposed to... win her over?

Seeing his expression, Die—still blushing—asked softly, "W-what's wrong?"

"A-ah, it's nothing. I'm just happy... and excited."

Chen Mo quickly put on a smile, not daring to let Die notice anything unusual.

Hearing his words, Die became even shyer. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and playfully slapped his chest.

"You scoundrel! Is that all you wanted to do when we were alone? I should go tell my sister."

"Ahem... You're just too beautiful. I couldn't help myself," Chen Mo said, grabbing her delicate hand and retrieving a Rejuvenation Pill from the system to give to her.

[Ding! Favorability +1. Acquired 1 Favorability Coin.]

Hearing his words, Die's face turned even redder. She accepted the smooth, jade-like pill from his hand and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"This is a Rejuvenation Pill. It enhances beauty and keeps you looking young forever." Chen Mo smiled.

"Really?"

There was no woman who didn't love beauty, and Die was no exception. Since confirming her relationship with Chen Mo, she had become even more conscious of her appearance and attire.

"Of course," Chen Mo nodded.

[Ding! Favorability +1. Acquired 1 Favorability Coin.]

"Then I'll take it."

Die smiled and stored the Rejuvenation Pill in her storage ring.

Just then, Queen Medusa's voice rang from outside the door:

"Time's up."

Die's expression tensed. She quickly removed the dark gold pendant from around her neck and placed it around Chen Mo's.

"This is the Twin Heart Pendant. I'm giving it to you."

After saying that, she took a deep breath to compose herself and then hurriedly left the room.

Chen Mo touched the pendant around his neck and muttered in confusion, "Why is there only half of it?"

But Die was already gone, unable to answer him.

Chen Mo tucked the pendant into his robe and then opened his status panel.

[Charm: Celestial Aura]

As expected, his favorability with Die was no longer increasing, and the favorability he gained from her no longer contributed to his host experience.

Chen Mo chose to finalize his Dao Companion bond with Die.

[Ding! Dao Companion Bond Established. Future favorability gains will yield even greater rewards.]

The system's announcement made Chen Mo feel like he had just lost a fortune.

Those last two favorability points were completely wasted...

Shaking his head, he sat cross-legged on the bed.

Tomorrow, he would have to serve as Queen Medusa's sparring partner. He needed to strengthen himself as much as possible.

Chen Mo immediately extracted the Xuan Class Intermediate Dou Technique, Soaring Dragon Steps, and the Xuan Class Advanced Dou Technique, Netherworld Death Seal.

Soaring Dragon Steps was a movement technique.

With his mastery in footwork, Chen Mo instantly grasped it without any need for practice.

Meanwhile, Netherworld Death Seal was an extremely powerful seal technique.

It allowed the practitioner to form multiple Death Seals, stacking up to eight in total. When fully unleashed, its power rivaled that of an Earth Class Beginner Dou Technique.

For now, he chose not to practice it.

Instead, he extracted the Great Sun Indestructible Body.

Boom!

A torrent of overwhelming knowledge flooded his mind, making his head feel as if it would explode.

According to its description, the Great Sun Indestructible Body was created by the Immortal Emperor and served as the foundational form of the Eternal Indestructible Body.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment before excitement surged through him.

The Eternal Indestructible Body was one of the Top Ten Primal Divine Bodies in The Great Ruler.

Since the Great Sun Indestructible Body was its foundation, it was bound to be an incredible technique as well.

Most importantly—it required no cultivation. He could instantly master it.

Chen Mo tried activating it.

Boom!

The entire room trembled slightly.

Golden light surged from his body like an unstoppable tide, and as it gathered, a colossal golden figure began taking shape.

But just as it was about to fully manifest—it vanished.

Chen Mo's face turned pale. In just that brief moment, the Great Sun Indestructible Body had drained all his Dou Qi.

In other words, his current cultivation was nowhere near sufficient to sustain it.

But that alone proved how terrifyingly powerful this technique was.
