Queen, You Don't Want to See the Snake People Clan Decline Either, Do You?

"Your Majesty may not know this, but since ancient times, our Snake People Clan has possessed a method of bloodline purification, also known as the Bloodline Ancestor Return method."

"The Queen's Companion Soul contains a trace of an ancient ancestor's bloodline. If you unite with another who possesses such a bloodline and absorb the essence of his bloodline, your own bloodline will be affected by it. There is more than a sixty percent chance that it will return to its ancestral origin."

The Great Elder continued speaking through Dou Qi transmission. The more she spoke, the more excited her voice became. "At that time, our Snake People Clan will have two bearers of ancestral bloodlines. This old woman believes that as long as the Queen and the Saint King become husband and wife, united in heart, you will surely revive our Snake People Clan and lead our people back to their former glory."

Watching the Great Elder speak with such impassioned fervor, her face flushed and her gaze filled with expectation, Queen Medusa could not help but feel a ripple in her heart. Then her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at her suspiciously. "Great Elder, as for Bloodline Ancestor Return, I only know of the Heavenly Flame method. Where did you learn of this bloodline purification method?"

There was only one expression on Medusa's devastatingly beautiful face. "Great Elder, are you trying to deceive This King?"

She felt that the Great Elder was trying to trick her into marrying Yan Lin.

Seeing that obvious look of distrust, the Great Elder understood that she would need to produce convincing evidence if she wanted Medusa to believe her.

She took out a black scroll that clearly bore the marks of age from her Ring. Only after handing it to Medusa did she say, "This Ancient Scroll records ancient secrets of our Snake People Clan. It has always been passed down secretly among the elders. Your Majesty will understand once you read it."

Seeing the Great Elder actually produce the Ancient Scroll, Queen Medusa became half-convinced and half-dubious instead.

The oldest surviving beings in the Snake People Clan were the Four Great Elders.

Queen Medusa herself had grown up under their watch.

When it came to the Snake People Clan's hidden history, no one naturally knew more than the Four Great Elders. Even Medusa, the Queen, knew no more about the clan's ancient past than they did.

For example, regarding Bloodline Ancestor Return, Queen Medusa only knew of one method: being reborn through Heavenly Flames, a method with nine chances of death and one chance of survival.

Yet the Great Elder knew of another bloodline purification method, one Queen Medusa had never known before.

The facts proved that the Great Elder had not deceived her.

Queen Medusa took the Ancient Scroll from the Great Elder and examined it carefully. In the end, she confirmed that what the Great Elder had said was true.

Only after seeing Medusa silently put away the Ancient Scroll and place it in her own Ring did the Great Elder speak again to persuade her. "This old woman would never deceive the Queen. Everything I have done has been entirely for the Snake People Clan."

"This old woman knows that the Queen is not attached to power and position. But when the Saint King rises in the future, even if Your Majesty is willing to step aside, with your prestige, there will inevitably be clansmen willing to follow you to the death."

"This will surely lead to conflict between the Queen and the Saint King, splitting the Snake People Clan apart. That would be extremely detrimental to our people. Queen, you don't want to see the Snake People Clan decline either, do you?"

Medusa's delicate brows knitted tightly, and she was deeply moved. Yet she had never considered marriage before, and for the moment, she found it difficult to make a decision.

At the Great Elder's final words, Yan Lin, who stood nearby, stared at her with a strangely suspicious look.

For some reason, Yan Lin felt that she had a strong Japanese vibe about her.

If he did not know this was the Dou Qi Continent, he might have thought the Great Elder had been born in Japan.

"Please, Queen, marry the Saint King for the sake of the Snake People Clan!"

While Medusa hesitated, the Snake People Clan's Great Elder suddenly bent down and prostrated herself before her, kneeling as she earnestly pleaded with the Queen on behalf of the Snake People Clan.

At the Great Elder's cry, the other three Snake People elders also knelt one after another and pleaded with Medusa. "Please, Queen, marry the Saint King for the sake of the Snake People Clan!"

The Four Great Elders of the Snake People Clan had always been united, so naturally, the Great Elder had informed them in secret of everything she intended to do.

Watching the Four Great Elders kneel and plead, Queen Medusa's expression turned solemn.

Prostration was the highest form of etiquette among the Snake People Clan.

And the people before her were the Snake People Clan's Four Great Elders.

This scene dealt not only a tremendous blow to Medusa, but also deeply shocked the Eight Great Commanders and the Snake People who had been kept outside the sound barrier.

They were curious about what was happening atop the Sacrificial Altar, but they could not hear a single sound. Nor did they dare step forward and disturb them, only daring to whisper among acquaintances.

Whispers filled the Sacrifice Plaza without end as Queen Medusa frowned in deep thought. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, she glanced at Yan Lin and studied him seriously.

Yan Lin was still young, but he was already nearly as tall as an adult. His face still carried traces of youthful immaturity, but his handsome and resolute appearance was indeed to her taste.

What surprised her somewhat was that, upon observing Yan Lin from up close, she discovered that although he appeared restrained before her, the Queen, Medusa could see no fear of her in those pale violet eyes that matched her own.

On the contrary, this young man seemed to possess a maturity far beyond what someone his age should have. His eyes were as still as an ancient well, as though his heart concealed the soul of an "adult." This stirred a trace of curiosity in Medusa, making her want to know what he was truly like.

Especially when she saw that this fellow had remained silent from beginning to end, looking utterly at ease, Queen Medusa felt that she should not be the only one with a headache.

"Yan Lin, you heard what the four elders said just now. Do you have any objections?"

Queen Medusa suddenly shifted the topic to Yan Lin. He was slightly stunned, having never expected the Queen to kick the ball over to his side.

As he froze, Yan Lin hurriedly racked his brains over how to answer.

The Great Elder, who had been arguing his case all along, seemed worried that something would go wrong on Yan Lin's end and ruin all her plans.

At once, her serpentine tail swayed, and with a flash, she arrived beside Yan Lin. She gently grabbed his wrist. When Yan Lin cast her a wary, tense look, the Great Elder revealed an exceptionally kind and benevolent smile. "Good child, don't be afraid."

"You are the pride of our Snake People Clan, and even more so its future. The Great Elder will not allow anyone to harm you."

After comforting Yan Lin, the Great Elder continued earnestly, "But child, the greater one's ability, the greater one's responsibility."

"Only by marrying the Queen can you revive our Snake People Clan. Your decision concerns the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Snake People Clan. For the sake of the clan, the Great Elder hopes you will agree."

"This is for the future of our people, and for the Snake People Clan's legacy through countless generations. Child, you do not want to become a sinner of the Snake People Clan either, do you?"

Yan Lin nodded awkwardly.

Did he dare refuse?

She started off with moral blackmail. The Great Elder really knew how to apply pressure.

But that made sense. When squeezing persimmons, people always picked the soft ones.

And right now, he was that soft persimmon.

Yan Lin nodded obediently. "As long as it is for the good of the Snake People Clan, Yan Lin has no objections."

"Good, good, good!"

The Great Elder laughed and said "good" three times in a row before releasing Yan Lin's hand. Her gaze then shifted back to Queen Medusa, as though saying, "Queen, it is time for you to make your decision."

Facing the Four Great Elders' pressure, Medusa's delicate brows drew together. She still did not yield, instead saying, "Great Elder, I wish to speak with Yan Lin alone before making my decision. Is that acceptable?"

The Great Elder's expression darkened, and she clearly hesitated. She was worried that Medusa might harm Yan Lin.

Medusa saw the look on her face and immediately gave her assurance. "Rest assured, Great Elder. This King will not harm him."

The Great Elder and the other three elders looked at one another. After exchanging glances, they ultimately agreed.

They had watched Medusa grow up, after all, and understood her temperament. The proud Medusa had always kept her word, and they also knew that Medusa valued the clan no less than they did.

They believed that Medusa would not do anything detrimental to the Snake People Clan.
