The Tsundere Queen

~

His cultivation speed was still very fast.

The Sword Emperor Art and the one year of pure Dou Qi rewarded by the diary system every day were enough to let Chen Changxin's strength catch up to—and even surpass—those Dou Huang experts who had been famous for years in a short time.

Of course, cultivation level alone was definitely not enough. After all, without sufficiently powerful Dou Techniques and combat experience—

he would merely be sitting on a treasure vault without a key!

But without cultivation level, even the cleverest housewife could not cook a meal without rice!

Only by complementing each other could they produce their proper effects!

"Your Highness, it is time to bathe and change clothes. Then you should go pay your respects to Your Majesty and Princess Die."

Xiao Qing's sweet voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Got it," Chen Changxin said blandly.

After receiving Chen Changxin's response, Xiao Qing soon entered the room carrying a wooden tub filled with hot water.

"Your Highness, please." Xiao Qing glanced at Chen Changxin, her face flushing slightly as she spoke.

Although Xiao Qing had served Chen Changxin for three years, whenever this time came, the inexperienced girl still felt a few instinctive pangs of bashfulness.

"Mhm." Chen Changxin nodded slightly before taking off his clothes.

As Xiao Qing looked at Chen Changxin's handsome, sharply defined features and his fair yet sturdy body, her gaze gradually became dazed.

No matter how many times she looked, His Highness was always so captivating.

What had once seemed like a somewhat weak but merely beautiful body now appeared completely transformed.

Boundless strength seemed to lie beneath his slightly lean frame. His fair, slender fingers looked picturesque whether they held a sword or played the zither!

Under Xiao Qing's attentive service, Chen Changxin soon finished bathing and changing clothes.

After one night's sleep, my cultivation level has risen quite a bit again. I even learned a new sword technique—my attainments in the Way of the Sword feel even stronger now!

When Xiao Qing helped me bathe just now, she was practically staring herself silly. Her little hands were extremely proper, but I know her heart is anything but proper. Another female snake who covets my body!

Unfortunately, Xiao Qing is still somewhat immature and very timid. She has never dared to overstep her bounds before me.

It's not hard to understand. After all, if anything happened between the two of us, a book could be written about "The Forbidden Love Between His Highness and Me"!

If Queen Medusa found out, Xiao Qing would bear the charge of seducing His Highness. If she were lucky, her Dou Qi vortex would merely be crippled and she would be expelled from the Snake People Clan. If she were unlucky, she might not even keep her life.

After all, Queen Medusa has always been temperamental and hot-headed. She certainly would not spare her rival in love!

When I get the chance, I must have a talk with Medusa. The rules of Queen's Palace cannot be this strict. Otherwise, these beautiful snake-maidens will only dare to admire me from afar without daring to touch me. That would be an enormous loss in their lives!

After all, I'm not some scumbag. I only want to give every woman a warm home.

I hate everyone in this world who does not believe in pure love. In this heartless world, I insist on living with deep affection!

First, I will spread my pure love to every corner of Queen's Palace. Then I will spread it throughout the entire Northwest Continent, and even across the Dou Qi realm! I will accomplish the mission of sowing my seeds and spreading the Way throughout the world!

All right, time to look ahead to the future is over. It's time to pay my respects to the two palace mistresses.

Upon seeing this, all the female leads spat in unison.

If Chen Changxin had been standing before them, each of them would have spat on him and drowned the bastard in saliva.

He kept saying that he wanted to marry every beauty and bring them home, yet he still had the nerve to claim that he believed in pure love and was deeply devoted?!

He would not even spare his own maidservants or the snake women of the Snake People Clan. He was simply the worst kind of scumbag!

And he even talked about sowing seeds across the Dou Qi realm. He was utterly beyond saving.

"Hmph! Xiao Qing seems to have reached the age when a girl first falls in love. Should I replace her with an older snake woman for Chang'an?"

Queen Medusa, who had been keeping an eye on the diary, noticed that it had updated and hurriedly opened her eyes to read it.

Then, narrowing her eyes, she muttered in a dangerous tone.

"And that rebellious disciple—every day, all he thinks about is this kind of nonsense! What does he mean by rival in love? And am I really that cruel?!"

The more Medusa read, the more something felt wrong. Her exquisitely beautiful face quickly darkened.

"I actually raised a tiger that would bring disaster upon me. This rebellious disciple wants to turn all of Queen's Palace into his, and he even wants to lay his hands on the entire world?! He is utterly detestable!"

By the time she reached the end, Medusa's silver teeth were grinding audibly, and her face had turned as dark as ink.

Chen Changxin's diary had clearly truly angered her. This was already an act of insubordination against her, the queen of the Snake People Clan!

Medusa lived within Queen's Palace.

When Chen Changxin entered the courtyard—

he sensed that something was wrong.

Very wrong!

Medusa did not look to be in a good mood today.

She was like a ferocious tiger poised to devour someone.

Realizing that things were not good, Chen Changxin respectfully said, "Changxin has come to pay his respects to Queen Medusa, my master."

"Hmph!"

Seeing the handsome face of the young man before her, Queen Medusa's pent-up rage ultimately turned into nothing more than a cold snort through her nose.

She had personally brought this little wolf cub back herself.

No matter how angry she was, she could only grit her teeth and accept it!

At least, aside from wanting to ride his grandmaster and lay his hands on the Snake People Clan, this rebellious disciple had no other wicked thoughts.

Most importantly, Chen Changxin had yet to put those thoughts into action!

She couldn't possibly destroy Chen Changxin's body and erase all traces just because she had discovered that his thoughts were impure, could she?!

Leaving aside whether she could bear to do it, the main issue was that it would be utterly unscrupulous!

At the very least, she needed to catch Chen Changxin with actual evidence first.

"Master, have you been upset about something lately?" Chen Changxin asked obediently.

"No. This King is very happy," Queen Medusa said with a soft huff, sounding rather displeased.

This brat was actually asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Didn't he see what he recorded in that diary of his every day?!

Either he was badmouthing her, or he was thinking about laying his hands on her Snake People Clan. He was truly the most rebellious of all rebellious disciples!

"I see." Chen Changxin nodded thoughtfully.

Happy, my ass!

Anyone could tell that she was in a terrible mood right now, like she wanted to find someone to vent her anger on!

But!

For some reason, Chen Changxin felt that Queen Medusa looked like a wronged young wife, and she was unexpectedly a little cute?

The thought startled Chen Changxin.

Why would Queen Medusa wear such an expression? It was like she was on her period!

Right, at this time, Queen Medusa should be troubled over the Heavenly Flames.

After all, her desire to step into the Dou Zong realm had long ceased to be a secret within the Snake People Clan.

Due to the restrictions of her bloodline, Queen Medusa could only use the Heavenly Flames to burn herself before she could take that step.

"Changxin, your cultivation seems to have progressed quite well recently!" Queen Medusa gave Chen Changxin a once-over. Her cool voice revealed neither joy nor anger.

"Thanks to Master's miraculous pills, Chen Changxin made another breakthrough last night!" Chen Changxin said.
