The Queen's Tenderness

After knocking on the door, Jiang Xing stood there obediently, waiting for the Queen to open it.

He looked just like an elementary school student.

Well, and a little nervous.

Creak!

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Medusa, dressed in a fitted purple dress, appeared before Jiang Xing.

Seeing Medusa dressed so differently from usual, Jiang Xing's eyes lit up.

The fitted purple dress displayed Medusa's voluptuous figure to perfection. It was utterly alluring, breathtakingly beautiful, and enough to stir one's imagination.

Medusa usually wore purple brocade robes, which perfectly complemented her regal bearing as Queen.

Her current outfit lacked some of that queenly majesty, but it gave her the air of an intellectual older sister instead. That feeling made Jiang Xing want to conquer her even more.

For a moment, Jiang Xing was so captivated by Medusa that he could hardly look away.

Seeing him like this, Medusa could not help feeling rather pleased with herself.

That was right—she had deliberately dressed this way for Jiang Xing, specifically because she wanted to see this expression on his face.

"Jiang Xing, what brings you to see me so late at night?"

Medusa leaned against the door as she asked, pretending not to know.

Jiang Xing stared at the twin peaks pressed together by the door behind the Queen and swallowed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go inside and talk!"

With that, Jiang Xing tried to enter the room.

However, Medusa extended her jade-like arm and braced it against the doorframe, blocking his way.

Then she said calmly, "There's no one here. Just say it here."

Looking at Medusa's cool demeanor, Jiang Xing thought, So the Queen knows how to play games too?

So Jiang Xing put on a serious expression as well. "Queen, this is an extremely important matter. I'm afraid someone might overhear us if we talk here!"

Hearing Jiang Xing use the same excuse again, Medusa smiled faintly.

"It's fine. I'll set up another barrier, and they won't be able to hear us."

Jiang Xing: "???!"

Medusa was delighted to see Jiang Xing at a loss for words.

Knowing he was no match for Medusa verbally, Jiang Xing did not waste any more breath and simply took action.

He forcefully picked Medusa up and carried her into the room.

Caught off guard as Jiang Xing lifted her, Medusa put on a show of resistance.

"Jiang Xing, what are you doing? Put me down."

If he had not seen Medusa's arms wrapped around his neck, Jiang Xing might actually have believed her.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, I never expected the dignified Queen to be so good at playing along!

"I want to give the Queen a surprise."

"A surprise?"

Medusa froze, then thought of a homophone for one of the words, and her face flushed crimson.

Holding Medusa in his arms, Jiang Xing laid her down on the bed. Her voluptuous body, half-lidded seductive eyes, alluring face covered in blush, and tightly pursed lips all radiated a temptation that left one's mouth dry.

Jiang Xing could no longer endure it and pounced on the Queen...

After an intense and satisfying battle, Jiang Xing leaned against the headboard with the rosy-cheeked Medusa in his arms.

Jiang Xing stroked the Queen's smooth lower belly and whispered into Medusa's ear, "Queen, when do you think you'll become pregnant with our child?"

Jiang Xing and Medusa had not taken any precautions during their lovemaking, which was why he asked.

Hearing his words, Medusa, who had been lying limp in Jiang Xing's arms, reacted as though she had been electrocuted. She immediately sprang away from his embrace and sat up, staring at Jiang Xing in disbelief.

Seeing how nervous Medusa was, Jiang Xing reached out and pulled her back into his arms. He kissed her cheek and said gently, "Don't be so nervous. If you're pregnant, then just give birth to it."

Comforted by Jiang Xing, Medusa relaxed slightly.

Medusa stared straight ahead, her voice trembling slightly. "Jiang Xing, will you really marry me?"

Medusa had not forgotten what Jiang Xing had once said: his grandfather was a Six-Star Dou Saint.

Although she was the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe and could be considered incomparably noble within the Jia Ma Empire, none of that amounted to anything before Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing was the first man to take her virginity. According to the rules of the Snake-People Tribe, she either had to kill him or follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of her life.

Clearly, Medusa had chosen the latter.

That was why Medusa was terrified that Jiang Xing's interest in her was only temporary.

Hearing that Medusa's emotions were somewhat off, Jiang Xing had Medusa face him and said seriously, "Of course. Since I said I would marry you, I naturally won't go back on my word."

"It's just that my parents are still in seclusion. For something as important as me taking a wife, they definitely need to be present."

After hearing Jiang Xing's explanation and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Medusa finally set her mind at ease and lay back down in his arms.

Looking up at Jiang Xing, tenderness filled her eyes, and her heart softened as well. It was as though all the emptiness, unease, and pain from before had been filled by him.

It was not merely her body—happiness overflowed from her heart as well.

However, Jiang Xing misread the tenderness in Medusa's gaze.

Jiang Xing thought to himself, Could it be that the Queen has recovered? Whatever. She was the one who started teasing me, anyway.

Soon afterward, Jiang Xing's hands began misbehaving again...

Feeling Jiang Xing's large hands, Medusa thought, Forget it. If he wants to, I'll just let him.

And so, another battle born of misunderstanding began.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xing was full of vigor.

Looking at the sleeping Medusa, he decided to wait until she woke up before telling her that he was going into seclusion to refine the Heavenly Flames.

Although Jiang Xing greatly enjoyed his life with Medusa, he knew that on the Dou Qi Continent, strength was what mattered most. Once he had enough strength, he would have plenty of time to enjoy himself.

Perhaps sensing Jiang Xing's gaze, Medusa slowly opened her tightly shut beautiful eyes. Hugging Jiang Xing, she murmured, "Sleep a little longer."

Jiang Xing kissed her forehead and said, "You sleep. I'm going to refine the Heavenly Flames."

Though reluctant, Medusa still released Jiang Xing.

Freed at last, Jiang Xing found his clothes on the floor and put them on. After neatly arranging Medusa's clothes and placing them by the pillow, he set a Storage Ring and a note on the dressing table before quietly leaving.

After Jiang Xing left the room, Medusa's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Only after a while did she get up and find a set of clothes in the wardrobe to put on.

As for the set Jiang Xing had neatly placed on the bed, she had deliberately worn it for Jiang Xing to see. Now that Jiang Xing had left, she naturally would not wear it again.

Walking over to the dressing table, she had just been about to freshen up when she noticed the Storage Ring and note Jiang Xing had left there.

Medusa was somewhat curious. Why hadn't Jiang Xing simply told her directly? Why leave a little note?

Thus, driven by curiosity, Medusa opened the note.
