Cauliflower Snake: Your Majesty Loves You to Death!

Watching Yan Lin leave Wude Hall in utter despair, Queen Medusa gave a faint, meaningful smile. Her purple snake tail swayed slightly as she turned, her figure flashing as she leaped back onto the giant statue's head.

Her snake tail coiled beneath her as she sat down once more. Only after confirming that Yan Lin had left Wude Hall did Queen Medusa call out into the empty air. "Hua She'er."

Another surge of Dou Qi rippled outside Wude Hall, and a pink figure immediately appeared in the center of the hall.

It was Hua She'er, who had left earlier. She had actually been hiding nearby all along, carrying out her protection duty.

"Your Majesty."

Facing Medusa atop the statue, Hua She'er bent slightly at the waist and bowed respectfully to Queen Medusa.

"Go to the Pill Hall and get him a bottle of top-quality medicine for injuries," Queen Medusa ordered evenly.

Hua She'er gave a meaningful glance at Your Majesty, who had already closed her eyes after speaking, her hands forming a cultivation seal as she began cultivating.

Medusa might have sounded casual, but Hua She'er, who had followed her for many years, still noticed something unusual.

Her Majesty never wasted time on trivial matters.

Not even... a single sentence.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hua She'er respectfully accepted the order. Queen Medusa did not look at her or say anything more.

Used to it, Hua She'er withdrew on her own. Before leaving, she shut the doors of Wude Hall so the sounds outside would not disturb the Queen's cultivation.

"Yan Lin, I heard you took a liking to a human girl and even hid her in your Royal Palace?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You know I like big waves."

"Hehe, I thought your tastes had changed."

In the Mobaas Tribe, Cauliflower Snake grinned as he drank and chatted with his good friend.

Though neither of them had come of age yet, the Dou Qi Continent had no rule saying minors could not drink.

Yan Lin happened to be full of pent-up anger after getting beaten up by Queen Medusa, so he came to drink with Cauliflower Snake and blow off steam.

The two brothers talked about everything.

Cauliflower Snake thanked Yan Lin for giving him that high-grade secret technique, while Yan Lin told him about how Queen Medusa had beaten him so badly today that his defenses had shattered.

But good brothers were usually lousy friends.

Seeing the bruises on Yan Lin's face, Cauliflower Snake could not resist poking one with his finger.

"Ahh, tss—"

Yan Lin hissed in pain and snapped irritably, "Cauliflower Snake, what are you doing?!"

"If it hurts, that proves Your Majesty loves you very much," Cauliflower Snake teased.

"Are you sick? Which eye of yours saw her loving me?"

As he spoke, Yan Lin pointed at the wounds all over his body. They were all Queen Medusa's handiwork.

"Your whole body is proof."

"Hehe, hitting is affection, scolding is love. You taught me that. Your Majesty beat you up this badly, so she must love you to death."

Cauliflower Snake spoke with a mischievous grin.

Yan Lin's face fell. No matter how he looked at him, the guy seemed ridiculously smug and badly in need of a beating.

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Yan Lin shot back mercilessly, "Then if you love Cui Hua Snake so much, why don't you beat her to death?"

Cauliflower Snake froze. That killed the conversation.

How could he possibly hit his precious darling, much less beat her to death?

"Alright, stop talking out of anger. Let's keep drinking."

Cauliflower Snake poured Yan Lin another drink and said, "This is fine wine my father has kept in storage for years. I heard that after drinking it, hehe... the sun rises~~"

"Pfft—"

Cauliflower Snake gestured with his hands, wearing a look every man understood. Yan Lin, who was in the middle of drinking, immediately sprayed out his mouthful.

"Cough, cough... Why did you bring out this wine?" Yan Lin coughed twice, sounding somewhat reproachful.

It was not that he was lacking in that department. The key was that he was at the age when his blood and vigor were at their peak. If he drank this stuff too, would it not make him explode?

Cauliflower Snake understood what Yan Lin was worried about and explained with a smile, "Don't worry. It only works on men who've already lost their virginity. Nothing will happen to those who haven't."

"It's just that the energy from the medicinal wine will gather in one part of the body. It can help you grow taller."

At the end, Cauliflower Snake deliberately glanced at the base of Yan Lin's snake tail, his meaning unmistakable.

Understanding at once, Yan Lin looked at Cauliflower Snake's teasing gaze and irritably threw the wine gourd in his hand at him. "You should drink more of this, then."

"Damn it, you're the one who needs to drink more." Cauliflower Snake's face fell as he immediately retorted.

He had lived with Yan Lin for more than ten years. Of course he understood what that meant.

Yan Lin was not angered by Cauliflower Snake's jab. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

If he truly needed it, he would have flown into a rage out of embarrassment. But he did not, so Cauliflower Snake's attack was drastically weakened and naturally could not hurt him.

It was like calling a beautiful woman ugly. She would not get overly angry because of it, since she knew it was merely slander and not true.

But if you called an ugly woman or a fat woman ugly or fat, then you would be stepping on a landmine and would surely face a demonic roar and thunderous fury.

Because it was the truth.

What people often found hardest to accept was the truth.

Clearly, Cauliflower Snake's "attack" on Yan Lin was pathetically weak.

In this regard, Yan Lin truly was exceptionally gifted.

Even Cauliflower Snake could not help feeling inferior when he saw it. What he had said earlier had merely slipped out in the flow of conversation.

There was probably no man who did not care about such things.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

Unable to stand Yan Lin's smug smile, Cauliflower Snake pouted and snorted irritably.

Yan Lin did not argue with him and changed the subject. "You brought out your father's treasured stash. Aren't you afraid he'll beat you to death if he finds out?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like this is the first time. I'm my father's only son, so he won't bear to beat me to death."

Cauliflower Snake spoke indifferently. "Besides, I'm not going to drink it all. I'll mix in some cheap liquor later. My father doesn't drink it every day anyway. Once enough time passes, the flavor will naturally settle back in. He probably won't notice."

Yan Lin laughed when he heard that. "You really are your father's most filial son."

"Hmph, don't think I didn't hear it. You're mocking me." Cauliflower Snake snorted unhappily.

"Oh? You've gotten smarter."

Cauliflower Snake did not like hearing that.

He retorted unhappily, "I was never stupid, alright?"

"Yes, yes, you're not stupid."

Yan Lin's dismissive attitude made Cauliflower Snake want revenge. He immediately said, "I'll drink all this wine later. When my father finds out, I'll say you stole it."

"Damn it! You can actually say something like that?"

"Hehe, we're brothers. We should share blessings and shoulder hardships together. Besides, my parents don't dare discipline you anyway, so you can carry the blame."

Cauliflower Snake smiled smugly, but Yan Lin did not lose his temper. He merely snorted. "Tch, you think Aunt Ba and the others will believe you?"

"It doesn't matter whether they believe me or not. If I refuse to admit it, they'll be too embarrassed to punish me, won't they?"

"Damn it! You really are sneaky. How did I end up making such a terrible friend?"

Yan Lin spoke as though he regretted befriending him, but there was not the slightest anger on his face. He was even smiling.

Even though Cauliflower Snake said he would use him, Yan Lin did not get upset.

Because they were only joking around.

Yan Lin knew that Cauliflower Snake was only talking big and would not really make him take the blame.

Of course, Yan Lin was willing to take that kind of blame as well.

They drank together, so naturally they should be punished together. That was what good brothers did.
