The Queen Was Soft All Over

Some women could not be conquered merely by being stronger.

As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa had never had a precedent of marrying out.

The entire Dou Qi Continent knew that the Snake-People Tribe revered strength, but if a truly powerful expert tried to force the Snake-People Tribe's queen, the result would be mutual destruction.

From that perspective, it was quite surprising that a male human could make an exception of the Queen while he was still weak.

"So the Queen is Cai Lin."

Inside Stone Desert City, Qing Lin suddenly understood.

"This Queen has not acknowledged that name yet. You are not allowed to call me that."

Medusa's voice abruptly rang out, sending a chill down Qing Lin's back.

"Queen, why are you still here?" Qing Lin asked with a slight headache.

Medusa clearly had a courtyard rented for herself, yet this Queen insisted on staying in the cramped single room occupied by a maid like her.

Fortunately, the other maids had all distanced themselves from her. What had originally been a room for three was now hers alone, so it was still fairly spacious.

"Of course this Queen is waiting for Chu Xiao." Medusa naturally lay down on the bed, raising one hand to admire it. "The moment he arrives, this Queen will kill him."

"..."

Qing Lin felt no ripples in her heart.

At first, hearing that would have made her nervous. After all, Queen Medusa's fierce reputation was renowned far and wide.

But after spending the past three days together, she had discovered that this woman was only fierce with her words.

If she truly wanted to kill Young Master Chu Xiao, why wait in Stone Desert City? Couldn't she simply fly straight to Wutan City?

Besides, the Dungeon Diary had rules restricting her from doing anything to the host.

And didn't the Queen want to see her future daughter?

"Queen, the Second Commander was present today, so the cook didn't cut corners or serve poor food for dinner. I'd like to treat you."

Qing Lin placed a tray before Cai Lin. Her delicate, melon-seed-shaped face wore an innocent smile as she blinked her large eyes.

"You think this Queen would eat such things?" Cai Lin said disdainfully without even looking. Then she took out roast chicken and other dishes from her Storage Ring and placed them on the table. "This Queen eats these. If there are leftovers, I will reward you with them."

Though she said that, Qing Lin knew there would definitely be leftovers—and exactly one untouched half.

The past three days had been the best-fed days of her life. She even seemed to have put on a few pounds.

This Queen Medusa—no, one of her future mistresses—was soft all over, except for her mouth.

"Queen, my meal today is different." Qing Lin blinked. "The Second Commander cooked it himself today. He said he learned these dishes from the cousin he was closest to while still in his clan. Doesn't that mean he learned them from Young Master Chu Xiao?"

Made by Chu Xiao?

Medusa lowered her head for a look and found that the food before her looked rather appetizing.

Come to think of it, Chu Xiao would make Yun Yun plenty of delicious food in the Demon Beast Mountain Range in the future.

The unique dishes Chu Xiao had taught Xiao Li to make were, rounding up, dishes made by Chu Xiao. She wanted to taste them!

But making her take back her words felt too humiliating.

"Queen, please do me the honor." Qing Lin smiled sweetly and made a pleading expression. "You've fed me for three days. It's only right to return the favor, isn't it?"

"You do have some conscience. Then this Queen will reluctantly give it a taste." Medusa picked up a pair of jade chopsticks, but before moving, she added, "This Queen did not treat you to food. I merely had you dispose of the garbage I could not finish."

"Thank you for letting me eat my fill~" Qing Lin promptly added.

"Fine." Only then did Medusa begin eating.

Hmph, this little girl was quite sensible.

It had not been in vain for this Queen to remain here these past three days, using Spatial Lockdown to conceal the intermittent fluctuations from Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils during their awakening.

"The taste isn't bad." A glimmer flashed through Medusa's violet eyes.

She was not someone with much of an appetite for fine food, yet she quite liked the dish before her.

If her younger sister were still here, she would surely like it too.

Even Xiao Li's cooking was this delicious. What about Chu Xiao himself?

Medusa extended her small, fragrant tongue to lick her red lips, suddenly feeling a little tempted.

As she ate, she did not forget to continue reading the Diary. It was rare for Chu Xiao to write so much about the future at once.

In the original future, Little Yan Zi and I infiltrated the Snake-People Tribe in search of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

At the same time, Jia Ma Empire's foremost alchemist, Gu He, learned through his connections that the Heavenly Flame was in Cai Lin's possession. He invited a group of people to break into the Snake-People Tribe, willing to exchange pills for the Heavenly Flame.

But Cai Lin's evolution had reached a critical point by then, so she did not agree, and a great battle erupted.

Seeing this, everyone familiar with the Snake-People Tribe's situation became completely certain that Cai Lin was Queen Medusa.

As a peak Dou Emperor, only because she was unable to free herself due to her evolution would Gu He dare gather a group of friends to take advantage of the crisis and exchange for the Heavenly Flame.

Otherwise, even with Yun Yun, a Dou Emperor, accompanying them, those who dared venture deep into the Snake-People Tribe's territory would merely be delivering themselves to their deaths.

Little Yan Zi and I worked together. He deliberately created a disturbance to lure Gu He and the others away, while I acted after Cai Lin's evolution succeeded and took the Heavenly Flame.

Cai Lin ultimately evolved successfully into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, but she was severely injured as a result. I took pity on her and brought her away in her beast form.

"Success!" A flicker of excitement appeared in Medusa's narrow, beautiful eyes.

After Snake-People Tribe members were born, the clan's experts would use a secret technique to implant the soul of a Snake-shaped Demonic Beast into them.

As they grew older and stronger, this Snake-shaped Demonic Beast, which served as a companion soul, would gradually merge with their True Form until the two became indistinguishable. At critical moments, they could even transform into their demonic beast form. This was the Snake-People's ultimate trump card.

The companion soul implanted in her during childhood had been a Sixth-Rank Demonic Beast, the Violet Nether Flame Serpent. It possessed a trace of ancient exotic beast bloodline. If it evolved, it would become the ancient exotic beast known as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, with the potential to become a Dou Saint and no bottlenecks before reaching the Dou Zun stage.

The reason she had chosen to use Heavenly Flames to stimulate her bloodline was because she was not satisfied with merely breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.

"He even knows why I sought out the Heavenly Flames, and that I would become a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python after evolving. He truly is a reborn person!" Medusa pressed her red lips together.

Aside from the four elders and her mother, no one knew about her companion soul!

"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python has successfully evolved." A look of instinctive wariness flashed through Yun Yun's eyes. "I hope Chu Xiao can subdue Medusa this time as well."

She knew her own limits. She was no match for Medusa, and even her teacher at her peak had been slightly inferior to Medusa.

Now that both her strength and her potential had improved, the Snake-People Tribe led by Medusa could claim a place for itself even on the Northwest Continent.

If not for the variable that was Chu Xiao, she would certainly have led her people away from the harsh environment of the Tagor Desert.

One should pick on the weak. As the only empire without a Dou Zong expert, the Jia Ma Empire was likely in for hard times.

"Sister Yun, do you think Medusa might have a Diary Copy?" Ya Fei asked.

Yun Yun:!

"But it doesn't matter even if she does." Ya Fei smiled brightly. "With little brother Chu Xiao around, she'll definitely be put in her place."

Yun Yun: "."

After I took away the Heavenly Flames and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, the Snake-People experts were enraged. With reinforcements having arrived as well, Gu He and his followers could only retreat.

Little Yun Er had particularly keen senses and discovered me fleeing with the Heavenly Flames. This was our second meeting.

At the time, she wore a black cloak. I could only tell from her somewhat familiar, alluring figure that she was a woman.

The Women: Tsk~

Only somewhat familiar?

"That bastard!" Yun Yun spat. "Who writes things like that in a diary?"

"Little brother Chu Xiao, of course." Ya Fei wore an expression of pure amusement.

Yun Yun: "."

I had thought there would be a fierce battle, but she decided to let me go.

By doing that, even though she had deliberately altered her voice to conceal her identity, she still let me recognize who she was.

Only she would disregard Gu He's favor and let me take away such precious Heavenly Flames.

I was so moved that I hugged her, spun her around once, and directly kissed her.

Her first kiss~ Tsk.

Yun Yun:!!

Xun Er:?
