"This matter is very important to the Queen. I'd like to discuss it in private after we retrieve the Essence Spirit Fruit tree. How about it?"
Chu Xiao seemed not to have sensed the killing intent in Medusa's tone, a composed smile on his face.
Medusa narrowed her long, slender eyes. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Yue Mei. "Why are you still here?"
Yue Mei: "."
"This subordinate takes her leave!"
Yue Mei decisively turned to leave.
Just then, Chu Xiao spoke again. "Commander Yue Mei, could you give me the Essence Spirit Fruit?"
"Hm?" Yue Mei turned to look at Chu Xiao, wariness appearing in her eyes.
The Snake-People Tribe and humans had long been enemies, and she herself did not like humans.
But Chu Xiao had a personal connection with Medusa and had helped her when she was in danger, so she naturally had a favorable impression of him.
But if he was setting his sights on her precious belongings...
"Why are you looking at me?"
Seeing Yue Mei look toward her, Medusa crossed her arms, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"Ahem." Yue Mei explained quietly, "Man, although you wanted to save this Commander and I am very grateful, the one who ultimately saved me was the Queen. Even if I were to give up the Essence Spirit Fruit, it should be offered to the Queen."
Medusa's brows furrowed even more deeply. She always felt that Yue Mei was probing something.
Chu Xiao, however, had guessed part of it and could not help finding it amusing.
I should make a note of this. Yue Mei seems to have misunderstood my relationship with Cai Lin.
All I can say is that she has excellent taste. So Cai Lin and I already look like husband and wife.
