Queen: I Want to Serve You

Ling Yuan himself had not expected that the first woman he spent a night of passion with after crossing into the Douqi Continent would actually be Queen Medusa.

He clearly remembered how proud and untouchable Medusa had been in the original story, unwilling to bow even in death. Yet now, this proud queen was obediently held in his arms.

That sense of conquest, rising from his very bones, made Ling Yuan feel exceptionally satisfied.

Last night, Medusa's innate queenly majesty, mixed with the unique wildness of the Snake-People Clan, had completely ignited Ling Yuan's desire to conquer.

Especially that flexible purple snake tail of hers—so different from ordinary women—had given Ling Yuan an experience unlike any he had ever known.

As for what it felt like, only those who had experienced it firsthand could understand. It was naturally not something to be shared with outsiders.

In any case, for Ling Yuan, that night had been utterly satisfying.

Early the next morning, Ling Yuan slowly woke while holding Medusa's curvaceous body, feeling thoroughly refreshed.

With a beauty in his arms, a faint fragrance drifted into his nose. It was Medusa's unique scent, exceptionally alluring.

Ling Yuan lowered his head, his gaze falling upon Medusa's exquisitely beautiful face as he studied it carefully.

Medusa's eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes trembling faintly, though her breathing was somewhat uneven.

Ling Yuan saw at once that she was pretending to sleep.

After such intimacy last night, she had certainly already awakened. She was probably too embarrassed to open her eyes.

Sensing Ling Yuan admiring her delicate body, Medusa's skin flushed slightly at his brazen behavior.

Medusa's thoughts were in chaos. She felt that all of this was far too absurd.

Before last night, she had not even known Ling Yuan's name. Yet because of a transaction, because of the Snake-People Clan's future, she had so easily given herself to him.

Was this really worth it? Would Ling Yuan truly keep his promise, help the Snake-People Clan leave the desert, help her break through her realm, and destroy the surrounding empires?

As she thought this, she felt Ling Yuan's large hand gently caressing her waist, becoming increasingly improper as it began to roam freely over her body.

Medusa's entire body tensed, and panic instantly filled her heart.

She had already been unable to endure Ling Yuan's intensity last night. She did not want to experience that again now, so she hurriedly opened her beautiful eyes.

She wanted to stop Ling Yuan, but she was afraid of angering him.

Remembering what the Great Elder had told her—that women should be a little weak and obedient at the appropriate times, so men would like them more—

Medusa bit her lower lip and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "It hurts..."

"I was wondering how long you planned to keep pretending to sleep." Ling Yuan grinned wickedly.

The two had already been intimately entwined last night, but the difference in status and strength remained. When facing Ling Yuan, Medusa still carried a trace of caution and did not dare act too freely.

Mainly because she could not figure out Ling Yuan's temperament.

Ling Yuan could see her unease. Moreover, knowing that she had indeed endured quite a lot last night, he did not make things difficult for her anymore.

He merely kneaded her waist for a moment before withdrawing his hand and ceasing his mischief.

"Help me get dressed!"

A second round was out of the question, but Medusa still had to help him change clothes.

After all, that was the duty of a personal maid. Since she had agreed, she should fulfill it.

Medusa's cheeks reddened. She quickly got up, grabbed the purple robe beside her, and hastily put it on, covering her perfect body for fear that Ling Yuan would tease her again.

After getting dressed, she began helping Ling Yuan.

But she was a queen—when had she ever served anyone? Not to mention helping others dress, even her own clothes were usually handled by maids.

Holding Ling Yuan's outer robe, she was utterly at a loss, not knowing where to begin. The entire process was a flustered mess.

After fumbling about for quite some time, she finally got him dressed.

Ling Yuan magnanimously did not hold Medusa's clumsiness against her. He merely patted her shapely rear as a token punishment.

Seeing that Ling Yuan was not angry at her inexperience, Medusa secretly let out a breath of relief.

The Snake-People Clan was very close to Shimo City, so Ling Yuan planned to go and bring Qing Lin over first.

Qing Lin possessed the Green-Eyed Three-Flower Pupils. Her talent was extraordinary, and she was someone worth cultivating—a promising future Dou Saint and a core force against the Soul Clan. There was no reason not to take her in.

Ling Yuan had just been preparing to head out, and he had not planned to bring Medusa with him.

"If you have something to say, just say it. It's not like I'll eat you."

Seeing Medusa hesitate as if she wanted to speak but held herself back, Ling Yuan felt that she was being overly cautious.

Even if his background was powerful and he was stronger than her, there was no need for her to be this reserved, was there?

You are the proud Queen Medusa. Where was that pride?

Did he really look that frightening?

Medusa took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Ling Yuan, you haven't forgotten about the Snake-People Clan's territory, have you?"

She had never felt at ease. After all, Ling Yuan had already taken her body, and what she feared most was that he would regret it afterward, leave without a second thought, and cast both her and the Snake-People Clan aside.

If that happened, she would not only lose her queenly pride and her body, but also fail to secure any benefit for the Snake-People Clan. That would truly be a terrible loss.

Hearing this, Ling Yuan could not help but laugh. He had thought it was some great matter, but it turned out to be something so minor.

He understood clearly that Medusa had never followed him because of love. It was more a mutually beneficial transaction.

She traded her submission for the Snake-People Clan's safety and an increase in her own strength, while he simply desired her body.

But Ling Yuan did not care about that. Feelings could be cultivated slowly in the future.

As the saying went, affection grew with time.

Now that he had Medusa's body, so long as he did not mistreat her, her heart would soon be with him as well.

"In a few days, when I return to the Ling Clan, I'll send a few more people over to move your clansmen. When the time comes, just have your people pack their things and follow them."

Hearing Ling Yuan's promise, the breath Medusa had been holding eased slightly, but she still did not dare let down her guard.

She hurriedly said, "The four elders can direct matters on the Snake-People Clan's side. I don't need to worry about that. I want to stay by your side and s-serve you."

Medusa was not attached to Ling Yuan. She was simply worried that he would run off.

Those words sounded quite pleasing, and Ling Yuan found them very satisfying.

After saying that it was up to her, he headed toward Shimo City.

Yet Ling Yuan was thinking that if Medusa followed him, that little loli Zi Yan would probably get jealous.

It would be better to arrange Medusa's evolution in a few days.

If the evolution succeeded, Medusa would become a little snake. Then he could carry her around with him; she would not take up space, and Zi Yan would not notice anything, so she naturally would not get jealous.

Even if Medusa's evolution failed, he would not be overly saddened.

After all, there were not deep feelings between him and Medusa to begin with. It was merely a transaction. Even if something happened to her, it would not add to his grief. At most, he would lose a beautiful maid.
