The Tsundere Queen and the Straightforward Young Man

The colorful rays of light gradually receded, surging into the depths of the Sacred Hall like a tidal wave.

The alluring and noble figure within the pillar of light became increasingly clear, finally landing steadily on the highest platform of the Sacred Hall.

At that moment, the entire Holy City seemed to hold its breath.

Queen Medusa!

She was still wearing that purple brocade robe that outlined her breathtaking curves, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her bare feet dangling half a foot off the ground.

A powerful Medusa aura emanated from her, tangible and icy, exuding an air of nobility.

His narrow, purple eyes swept over the thousands of Snake-People kneeling in devout worship below. Finally, his slightly complicated gaze settled on the white-robed youth who was suspended in mid-air, only a step away from the Sacred Hall.

Xiao Yan wore a bright smile, his eyes bright and open.

At this moment, the Snake-People of the Snake-Person Tribe, who remembered how Xiao Yan had addressed Queen Medusa earlier, instantly focused their gazes on Xiao Yan, their expressions a mixture of shock, doubt, hostility, and awe.

How dare this human address Her Medusa in such a manner?!

And what did he just say?

The Snake-Person Tribe are migrating?!

Hua She'er and Yue Mei followed closely behind Xiao Yan, bowing deeply in respect, their faces also showing undisguised shock.

Good heavens!

It seems Her Medusa really does have a close relationship with this young man named Xiao Yan!

If it were someone else, would they try to get close to Her Majesty the Medusa?

He'll be hacked to death right away!

But judging from Medusa Majesty the Queen's expression, she clearly showed no hostility towards him whatsoever; in fact, there was even a hint of unbelievable gentleness.

Queen Medusa's purple eyes stared at Xiao Yan, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashing deep within them.

If she had known earlier that this little rascal had taken it upon himself to reveal the "Prince Consort Candidate" matter, she would never have allowed him to freely improvise and design his own lines!

Doesn't this mean she's telling her people that she's interested in him?

Although this little rascal is indeed incredibly talented, has admirable perseverance, is good-looking, and is fairly upright, he's just a bit lecherous.

But she is Queen Medusa!

Over the years, what outstanding men haven't I seen?

Xiao Yan...

He was just the most outstanding man she had ever met... well, that doesn't mean she was interested in him!

The matter of Prince Consort Candidate is merely a stopgap measure!

She doesn't like Xiao Yan at all!

Absolute!

No!

But for the sake of the Snake-Person Tribe, she couldn't bring herself to expose this.

Queen Medusa then stepped through the void and arrived in front of Xiao Yan, the two of them so close that they were only chest-deep, just a fist's distance apart.

She gazed at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan stared back at her without backing down.

In each other's eyes, they both saw a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.

Neither of them flinched, and where their eyes met, a subtle tension was palpable.

Not far away, Hua She'er and Yue Mei were already dumbfounded.

Wait, what's with that scrunchy look in his eyes?!

Don't you try to hide anything from people at all now?

What did you give me?

Is this still the Tagor Desert?

Is this still our Medusa?

"Hmph, you're as stubborn as ever, little brother Xiao Yan."

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, emphasizing the last four words.

"You are as beautiful and charming as ever, Medusa."

In response, Xiao Yan simply took a sincere look at Queen Medusa's captivating face and figure, and then said with a gentle smile.

Xiao Yan understood perfectly.

If both people are proud and aloof, then misunderstandings will only keep arising from unclear communication.

It's extremely stomach-churning.

But if he plays a straight shot...

Don't let the Medusa's tough exterior fool you; when it comes to kissing, there won't be a single hard spot on her body, from her lips to her entire body!

Seemingly surprised that Xiao Yan would dare to flirt with her in public, Queen Medusa, a renowned beauty known for her cold and aloof demeanor, blushed slightly.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hua She'er and Yue Mei were completely stunned.

Ah?

Is Her Medusa shy?

If this were said out loud, probably no one in the Snake-Person Tribe would believe it.

Just who exactly is this Mr. Xiao Yan?

"Damn it!" Realizing her captain of the guard and her tribal chief had clearly misunderstood her relationship with Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa couldn't hold back any longer. She glared at Xiao Yan fiercely before turning and flying towards a seemingly ordinary courtyard in the Holy City. Her words, tinged with embarrassment and annoyance, drifted on the wind. "Xiao Yan, you come with me to see the tribal elders. Hua She'er and Yue Mei, you two wait here for the other tribal chiefs. Tell me when they've all arrived."

"Yes, Your Medusa!"

Upon hearing this, Hua She'er and Yue Mei instinctively responded with a sound of agreement.

"Medusa, the clan elders must have watched you grow up, right?"

Xiao Yan followed, smiling as he asked.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Queen Medusa asked in return, her face cold.

For some reason, she had a feeling that Xiao Yan was up to something again.

"Hehe, wouldn't you say this counts as meeting the parents?"

Xiao Yan grinned, moved closer, and reached out to embrace Queen Medusa's alluring waist.

"Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa was both ashamed and angry. After noticing Xiao Yan's rather improper little hands, she kicked Xiao Yan away with a spinning kick.

That bastard is deliberately flirting with her!!!

But you just can't kill him!

I'm so angry!

Xiao Yan was sent flying backward. When he regained his footing, he saw Hua She'er and Yue Mei looking at him with a slightly fanatical gaze.

Um?

What happened?

Xiao Yan casually smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes from being kicked by her delicate feet, then chuckled and explained, "Hehe, she's just shy. Actually, our relationship is very..."

Before Xiao Yan could even finish saying "okay," Queen Medusa suddenly appeared beside him and covered his mouth.

"Mmm..."

After all, he was a Dou Zong expert. In his true form, he was still Seventh Tier -Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. His physical strength and Dou Qi strength were superior to Xiao Yan's under normal circumstances. Therefore, Xiao Yan had no way to break free for the time being. He could only show a helpless expression and shrug at the two beautiful Snake-People -woman ladies, Hua She'er and Yue Mei.

"..."

Hua She'er and Yue Mei didn't know what to say, and the fervor in their eyes intensified.

Everything they saw today completely overturned their understanding.

Simply put, Xiao Yan completely shattered Queen Medusa's established persona over the years...

Just what happened was so shocking that not only them, but everyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire would have their eyes pop out and their jaws dislocated.

You mean, this embarrassed little woman is the ruthless Queen Medusa?

Haha, that's a lame joke!

But!

This is a good thing!

It's rare to find a man who is good to Her Medusa and whom Her Medusa also likes!

In particular, this man looks very young, talented, and strong!

As for why they think Queen Medusa likes Xiao Yan...

Haha, because if it were any other man, his head would have been ripped off his neck the moment he reached out to Queen Medusa.

Moreover, Her Medusa personally covered Mr. Xiao Yan's mouth and even locked his throat!

It's worth mentioning that, due to this position, Queen Medusa's already prominent Medusa were now pressed against Xiao Yan's back.

From the perspectives of Hua She'er and Yue Mei, it's clearly a domineering Medusa and her adorable little husband!

Although they didn't know what to call this feeling of "being hooked," they were definitely hooked.

Seeing such a scene would be worth dying for!

Seeing Mr. Xiao Yan being "kidnapped" by Her Medusa, Hua She'er and Yue Mei exchanged a meaningful glance and smiled.

It seems that Medusa Majesty has not only fulfilled her lifelong wish of leading the Snake-Person Tribe out of the desert, but has also found a good husband. This is truly a joyous occasion!

Furthermore, Mr. Xiao Yan is truly remarkable for being able to transform Her Majesty the Medusa into such a girlish figure!

They smiled at each other, and then, with immense joy, one went to comfort the tribespeople who were thrilled by the Medusa's return from seclusion, while the other used a secret method to contact the leaders of the other seven tribes.

Although the sound of Queen Medusa and Xiao Yan flirting didn't reach the Snake-Person Tribe, they all clearly saw it.

So everyone asked Hua She'er what was going on.

To this, Hua She'er simply gave an aunt-like smile.

"That's the person Her Majesty the Medusa has chosen; he might become the only Prince Consort our clan has produced in hundreds of years!"

Hua She'er, who believed she had guessed the reason and cause of Xiao Yan's visit, said this.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, many male Snake-People were utterly heartbroken.

When they saw their goddess flirting with that pretty boy, the Dou Emperor, they already had some guesses.

But even after confirming the news, they still felt a sharp pain in their hearts.

As the Medusa of the Snake-Person Tribe, Queen Medusa has always been the most respected and revered figure by all members of the Snake-Person Tribe.

Many people admired her.

But today, their hearts are broken.

Unfortunately, that pretty boy was actually a genuine Dou Huang expert, and most importantly, the Medusa showed him almost unconditional favoritism.

Let alone Xiao Yan, a man.

Even Hua She'er and Yue Mei weren't fortunate enough to receive the Medusa's gentle push and her personal silencing!

"Mmm!"

Sounds continued to come from the other side, and the body was constantly struggling.

Unwittingly, the softness behind her was squeezed and deformed.

He wasn't just struggling blindly!

He came prepared!

Queen Medusa hadn't noticed at first, and was only covering her mouth.

But as her body began to feel hot, Queen Medusa finally realized that Xiao Yan taking advantage of her, so she kicked him in the butt.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Queen Medusa straightened her slightly disheveled cheongsam and clenched her fists.

"It was an accident."

Xiao Yan shook his head, his face serious.

Hilarious! He'd never admit it!

Admitting it will get you beaten!

"You!" Queen Medusa's expression shifted several times, then she burst into laughter in anger. "Heh heh, I think all your body-refining Dou Technique have gone to your face. Even if a Dou Sheng Expert slapped you and your whole body was annihilated, your face would still be perfectly intact."

"How could I maintain close relationships with so many girls if I weren't thick-skinned? It's a necessary sacrifice, but in order to give them a home, including you, my Medusa sister, of course, I have to be shameless!"

Xiao Yan spoke with righteous indignation and stern words; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was giving a serious speech!

"Besides, judging from your stubbornness, you're probably just as thick-skinned as I am."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan muttered something under his breath.

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa blushed again.

This time, it's not out of embarrassment.

I'm just angry.

"Hehe, I have to say, Medusa, you're so beautiful."

Xiao Yan immediately flashed a lovestruck smile.

"..."

Queen Medusa remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

She was confused too.

Knowing full well that this little rascal has such a thick skin, why should she bother arguing with him?

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

After coldly uttering a single sentence, Queen Medusa grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist and used her Spatial Strength to move rapidly.

She felt that if she continued to fly slowly, she would be driven insane by this shameless bastard!

Xiao Yan also felt that the Medusa was too easily teased and it was time to stop, so he followed the Medusa to a courtyard where many hidden yet powerful auras gathered.

Come in.

Seemingly having sensed their arrival, an aged voice echoed from within the courtyard.

The courtyard gate opened in response. Queen Medusa seemed to feel that it was too hot to handle, and released Xiao Yan's wrist. A hint of guilt was hidden in her eyes. She glanced at Xiao Yan, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and instead turned around and went inside.

Standing at the door, Xiao Yan vaguely sensed four obscure auras within the bamboo house. Although they were not as strong Medusa's, they were definitely not to be underestimated, as all four auras were at the Peak Dou Emperor level.

However, as long as it's not a Dou Zong expert, Xiao Yan won't have too many concerns. With his abilities, even if the entire Snake-Person Tribe attacked together, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

Moreover, Her Majesty the Medusa would never actually lay a hand on him.

Although Xiao Yan's thoughts were racing, he had already taken a step and followed Queen Medusa inside. Behind him, the courtyard gate closed automatically.

Upon entering the courtyard, four aged figures came into Xiao Yan's view. Queen Medusa, standing respectfully to the side, truly resembled a little girl, exuding a serene and composed air.

As if sensing Xiao Yan's footsteps, an old woman in the center slowly opened her eyes. Her diamond-shaped pupils locked onto Xiao Yan like a venomous snake, sending a chill down his spine.

At the same time, the other three old women also suddenly opened their eyes, and four chilling auras rose up, eventually converging into a giant black python in mid-air. The python's emotionless eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan, and an invisible pressure quietly arose, eventually pressing down on Xiao Yan.

"Snort!"

Feeling the oppressive aura, Xiao Yan let out a soft snort, and blue flames suddenly rose up, enveloping his entire body.

As soon as the blue flames appeared, the temperature inside the courtyard rose sharply, and the chill caused by the four old women dissipated instantly. The giant black python was also suppressed and became much more ethereal.
