Be My Personal Maid

Medusa was not pleased by the compliment. Instead, she felt somewhat flustered.

"You flatter me, Young Master. Also, you may simply call me Medusa."

Next, Medusa respectfully invited Ling Yuan into the main hall.

This scene left the Snake-People Clan's tribal chiefs deeply puzzled.

As this scene fell into the eyes of the chiefs from the various Snake-People Clan tribes waiting nearby, their faces were filled with confusion.

The queen had never been so respectful toward anyone. Just what sort of people were these two, to make the queen go this far?

Without Medusa's command earlier, they had remained inside the main hall. They did not know Ling Yuan and Ling Yun's strength, nor did they know what had happened.

As Medusa instinctively tried to sit upon the throne, she felt a powerful aura lock onto her. Her entire body stiffened, and she could not move.

"The young clan master has not even taken a seat yet, and you dare let him sit below you?"

That was indeed Ling Yun's doing. This was a warning meant to put Medusa in her place.

Medusa had the feeling that with a single thought from the other party, she would be reduced to ashes.

Proud as she was, she could no longer remain proud at this moment.

Or rather, the price of pride was too great. If she refused to lower her head, not only would she die, but the entire Snake-People Clan would be implicated and utterly destroyed.

"Young Master, Senior, I was presumptuous. Please forgive me."

Ling Yuan did not stop Ling Yun. Seeing Medusa lower her head and submit, a trace of amusement flickered in his eyes.

He walked straight to Medusa's exclusive throne and sat down without the slightest courtesy.

Seeing Medusa standing there so cautiously, he could not help finding it amusing.

This Medusa is not as proud as I imagined. At the very least, she is not so arrogant that she looks down on everyone.

There was no such thing as a woman unwilling to submit. Only those without weaknesses and unafraid of death would refuse to yield.

Medusa clearly had a weakness. Her weakness was the entire Snake-People Clan.

As long as one had a weakness, one was easy to control.

Just then, Mo Basi, who stood below and had a fiery temperament, could no longer bear to watch.

He had admired the queen for a long time. Now that she was being humiliated, how could he possibly endure it?

Mo Basi abruptly clenched his fists and was about to step forward.

Fortunately, the two tribal chiefs beside him had been prepared. They quickly reached out and held him back tightly, urgently persuading him in low voices, "Mo Basi, don't be impulsive! These two must have terrifying strength and powerful backgrounds. If you rashly step forward, you will only bring disaster upon the Snake-People Clan."

Medusa noticed the commotion. Knowing Mo Basi's temperament, she feared that he might offend these two, so she sent a voice transmission telling them to leave first.

Upon learning that the other party was actually a Saint Realm expert, the tribal chiefs reacted even worse than Medusa had.

Mo Basi nearly dropped to his knees, cold sweat pouring down his face.

No matter how foolish he was, he knew that if he had acted rashly just now, not only would he have died, but the Snake-People Clan would have suffered along with him!

Lowering her stance, Medusa personally served tea. "May I ask what instructions Young Master has for coming to my Snake-People Clan?"

"I happened to be training here and still lack a maid. I think you are quite suitable. Are you willing to become my maid?" Ling Yuan lifted Medusa's chin with his hand and examined her closely from up close.

At such close range, Ling Yuan could more clearly appreciate Medusa's almost bewitchingly beautiful face. Her long, narrow eyes carried a faint allure, and her nose bridge stood high and elegant...

This was Medusa's first time being so close to a man, and no one had ever dared make such a frivolous gesture toward her.

If it had been an ordinary person, with her proud nature, she would have struck and killed him long ago.

But the person before her was Ling Yuan. His strength, talent, and background were all heaven-defying, so Medusa did not dare do so.

As queen, she represented not merely herself, but the entire Snake-People Clan.

The tribal chiefs had reached the doorway and heard those words as well.

The sort of scene where some brainless minor character stepped forward to object, only for Ling Yuan to slaughter him without hesitation, did not occur.

No one dared step forward to say anything. Even Mo Basi shrank back like a turtle.

No matter how reckless he was, he knew what the anger of a Saint Realm expert meant.

Medusa's entire body stiffened, and a flash of astonishment passed through her eyes. She had not expected Ling Yuan to have come for her.

It was not that she did not know how beautiful she was. She had merely instinctively believed that a genius with a background like Ling Yuan's should not lack women.

She forcefully maintained her composure. "Young Master, you must be joking. With your unmatched talent, if word were spread, countless women would rush to your door. My talent is ordinary, and I am not good at taking care of others. I fear I would be unable to serve Young Master properly."

"Moreover, the surrounding empires are eyeing the Snake-People Clan covetously. The clan cannot leave me now, so I cannot serve at Young Master's side. Please seek someone else."

Medusa tactfully declined Ling Yuan.

She was the proud Queen Medusa. Having led the Snake-People Clan for many years, she had long grown accustomed to giving orders.

For her to cast aside all dignity and become someone else's personal maid—how could she possibly be willing?

There was another reason as well. Ling Yuan had not even offered her any benefits, so why would she agree to go with him?

Ling Yuan spread his hands and said domineeringly, "What is so difficult about that? They are merely a few empires. I will simply destroy them for you."

In Ling Yuan's eyes, destroying a few human empires was as easy as crushing a few ants.

Medusa did not doubt him in the slightest.

With Ling Yun, a genuine Saint Realm expert, it would truly be far too easy to destroy those surrounding empires, which were guarded only by Dou Zongs and Dou Emperors.

"What if I told you that by becoming my personal maid, not only could I grant you a territory suitable for the Snake-People Clan to live in, but I could also help you break through to Dou Zong, Dou Zun, or even Dou Saint?"

"You should know that I possess such ability."

Ling Yuan understood Medusa all too well. To break through to Dou Zong, she would be willing to risk her life using Heavenly Flames to evolve.

Strength and territory—these were undoubtedly the two things Medusa desired most, and they were also the best leverage to control her.

And Ling Yuan could give her both of these things with ease.

Medusa said, "Dou... Dou Saint?"

To be honest, the conditions Ling Yuan offered moved her greatly.

Dou Zong was the goal she had pursued all her life. Dou Zun was even more unattainable, while Dou Saint was a legendary realm she had never even dared to dream of.

And now, a real opportunity lay before her.

She did not doubt that Ling Yuan was boasting, because Ling Yun stood nearby. This genuine Saint Realm expert was Ling Yuan's best proof.

Even if Ling Yuan could not help her reach Dou Saint, with his strength and background, nurturing her until she broke through to Dou Zong or Dou Zun would probably not be difficult.

But when she thought of the price she would have to pay to obtain these benefits—becoming Ling Yuan's personal maid and trading her body for them—Medusa hesitated.

She was no longer an ignorant little girl. They were both adults; how could she not understand what becoming a man's personal maid entailed?

It meant she would have to completely cast aside her queenly pride, submit to Ling Yuan, and let him do as he pleased.

This was the main reason Medusa did not agree immediately.

On one side was her clan; on the other was her own pride.

Ling Yuan was offering far too much, and the scales in Medusa's heart had already begun to tip.
