Fixing the Queen's Bad Habit

Seeing that the Queen was still acting so cold toward him, Jiang Xing decided to fix that bad habit of hers.

He rose from his seat and slowly walked toward the Queen.

Seeing Jiang Xing approach her from where he had been sitting, the Queen panicked slightly. "What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

This was the main hall. Someone might come in at any moment.

From Medusa's understanding of Jiang Xing, she truly feared that he might do something.

Jiang Xing paid no heed to what Medusa said and continued closing in on the Queen.

Medusa wanted to retreat, but she was seated on the throne and had very little room to move back.

Before long, Jiang Xing's face was nearly pressed against Medusa's.

Seeing how nervous Medusa looked, Jiang Xing smiled. "Queen, weren't you quite calm just now? What are you afraid of now?"

Medusa kept watching the entrance to the hall, afraid that someone would come in and witness this scene. She reminded him, "Jiang Xing, don't do this. We're in the main hall."

Jiang Xing gave a wicked grin. "So the Queen means it would be fine if we weren't in the main hall?"

"No, not elsewhere either... mmph!"

Before Medusa could finish speaking, Jiang Xing had already sealed her delicate lips.

Medusa's eyes widened. This was the main hall—how could he dare?

She tried to push Jiang Xing away with both hands, but the gap in their strength was too great. She could not move him at all.

After a long while, their lips finally parted. Medusa was both embarrassed and furious. Jiang Xing clearly knew this was the main hall, yet he still did this...

Still, at least no one else had seen them, which gave Medusa a small measure of comfort.

Seeing Medusa's expression, Jiang Xing found the Queen more and more amusing.

But he also knew not to go too far, so he made no further moves.

He picked up the reports submitted by the leaders of the various tribes and began reading them.

None of these were particularly important reports, so Medusa did not stop him. Still, she was rather curious why Jiang Xing cared about such matters.

Before long, Jiang Xing had roughly finished reading them.

The reports contained nothing more than trivial matters, such as conflicts between Snake-People and humans.

Two years ago, Jiang Xing and the Great Elder had eliminated everyone from the royal family.

The Chuyun Empire, neighboring the Jia Ma Empire, naturally did not let such an opportunity slip away and took advantage of the situation to occupy the Jia Ma Empire.

However, the Chuyun Empire also knew that the Snake-People Tribe had a Dou Zong, so they did not make a move against them.

Although the Chuyun Empire's royal family did not take action, humans and Snake-People were ultimately different races. To varying degrees, the humans still suppressed the Snake-People Tribe.

"Medusa."

"Mm?"

Suddenly hearing her name, Medusa was somewhat confused and a little wary.

Jiang Xing pointed at the thick stack of reports on the table. "Are these matters usually handled by you?"

"Yes. Why?"

Medusa was puzzled. As the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, wasn't handling such matters only natural?

"I think these minor matters can be handed over to those below you. You only need to focus on cultivation. Only if you are strong will the Snake-People Tribe avoid being bullied."

Medusa naturally understood this principle as well, but she had previously been stuck at the peak of the nine-star Dou Emperor realm, unable to break through. That was why she had shifted her focus to handling the Snake-People Tribe's affairs.

Now that she had broken through to Dou Zong, she had not adjusted to it yet.

Moreover, now that she had reached Dou Zong, the Snake-People Tribe simply could not afford the cultivation resources she needed. Cultivating with resources and cultivating without them were completely different.

Although Jiang Xing had cultivation resources, Medusa had always felt that the Snake-People Tribe owed him. How could she bring herself to ask him for more cultivation resources?

But Medusa suddenly thought of what Jiang Xing had done to her the night before last and last night...

Jiang Xing has done such things to me. Taking a little of his cultivation resources doesn't seem excessive!

"Jiang Xing, I want to become stronger!"

Jiang Xing was startled for a moment, then smiled. "Then become stronger. Why are you telling me?"

For the sake of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa gritted her teeth and said, "I want you to provide me with cultivation resources."

Medusa was already his woman. Even if she had not asked, Jiang Xing would have provided her with cultivation resources.

But seeing Medusa like this, Jiang Xing suddenly wanted to discuss some terms with her...

"What's so difficult about that? I can give you cultivation resources, but..."

Hearing the first half of Jiang Xing's words, Medusa had been quite happy.

But Jiang Xing stopped at the latter half, and his eyes were fixed on a certain part of her body. How could Medusa fail to understand what he meant?

Medusa hated Jiang Xing so much that her teeth itched, but for the sake of the Snake-People Tribe, she decided to go all out.

She comforted herself inwardly: My whole body already belongs to him. I'm only making a promise now.

"As long as you provide me with cultivation resources and make me stronger, I'll agree to anything you want!"

Staring at Medusa's alluring figure, Jiang Xing found it hard to look away.

"Fine. Then leave the door unlocked for me tonight."

Only after making the cold and aloof Medusa blush furiously did Jiang Xing finally leave the main hall.

He wondered whether Zi Yan had returned yet.

Now that he had obtained the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, Jiang Xing wanted to place it in the Ancient God Mansion.

He had promised Zi Yan that he would take her to meet her clansmen. Now, he could take her to meet her father, Zhu Kun, first.

With that in mind, Jiang Xing headed toward Zi Yan's residence.

Arriving at Zi Yan's quarters, he knocked on the door.

Before long, Zi Yan opened it.

Zi Yan opened the door with one hand while holding a half-eaten green fruit in the other. Her cheeks were still puffed out, and her mouth was still chewing.

Clearly, this green fruit was one of the medicinal herbs Zi Yan had found outside.

Zi Yan had thought Qing Lin had come to play with her again, but when she opened the door, she found Jiang Xing instead.

She immediately tossed aside the half-eaten fruit in her hand and exclaimed happily, "Jiang Xing, you're finally out!"

Seeing how happy Zi Yan was, Jiang Xing patted her head, feeling somewhat gratified.

Mm, he hadn't spoiled her for nothing!

But in the next moment, Zi Yan revealed her true nature.

"Jiang Xing, hurry up and give me pills! I was practically starving to death while you were gone!"

Jiang Xing: ?? Give me back the feelings I just had!

Seeing that Jiang Xing had not taken out any pills, Zi Yan resorted to her old excuse again.

"You promised to help me find my clansmen, but you disappeared for two whole years! You have to compensate me with five bottles... no, ten bottles of pills!"

Zi Yan declared righteously.

If Jiang Xing had not seen the greedy look on Zi Yan's face and known her personality, he might really have believed her.

Still, he did not haggle with her. He readily handed the pills over.

Zi Yan accepted the pills, her eyes shining.

She quickly poured the pills from the jade bottle and tossed them into her mouth, chewing them with an expression of pure satisfaction.

She really had been craving them badly.

Only after Zi Yan had eaten half a bottle of pills did Jiang Xing speak.

"Zi Yan, how about I take you to meet your father?"

Zi Yan froze.

"My father?"
