A Date

With the departures of Yun Shan, Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, Hai Bodong, as well as Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li, only Xiao Yan Medusa remained in the small hall.

"I... I'll go see Xiao Xiao too."

Sensing that something was off, Medusa decided to make her escape.

The imposing air she had displayed while discussing matters had long since vanished from her face.

It's clear that Medusa is still somewhat uncomfortable being alone with Xiao Yan.

In her own words, she felt like she wasn't herself anymore.

"Slap"

However, just Medusa was about to make a move, Xiao Yan had already reached out and grabbed her fair wrist.

"Xiao Yan, what are you trying to do? Let go, let go."

Although she clearly intended to reprimand Xiao Yan, when the words "let go" came out of Medusa's red lips, they actually gave off a feeling of overwhelming welcome.

Oh no, she's starting to act unlike herself again!

The moment she opened her mouth, Medusa immediately realized what was happening.

This immediately made her feel a surge of annoyance.

When exactly did it begin?

She seems increasingly unable to treat Xiao Yan the same way she used to.

Back then, she occupied Xiao Yan's room at the Jia Nan Academy and treated him like a servant.

But what about now?

Sometimes, just a glance or a word from Xiao Yan was enough to overwhelm her.

She seems to have changed...

However, this also proves that Medusa not only no longer rejects Xiao Yan, but has even accepted him from the bottom of her heart!

"Hey, Cai Lin, now that I'm back, shouldn't you try to relax a bit and rely on me sometimes? Otherwise, you make me feel like I don't exist!"

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

Perhaps she's just used to being the queen.

Although Medusa wasn't as assertive towards Xiao Yan as she was towards others, it was clearly impossible for her to say something like "Please help me."

Medusa's pride made her always think of relying on herself first in everything.

Otherwise, if it were someone else facing the pressure from the more than thirty Dou Zun experts of the Lion Nether Sect, they might have already taken the "Myriad Formation Token" that Xiao Lin gave her and gone to the Central Plains to seek help.

But she didn't.

This is Medusa!

"What? Now that you're stronger than me, you think I have to rely on you? Or do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Medusa's tone revealed a slight dissatisfaction.

She always felt that Xiao Yan was looking down on her!

As for Medusa now, she has the strength of Seven-Star Dou Venerable.

Although she is much stronger than in the Original Work, she clearly does not have the ability to resolve the threat posed by the Lion Nether Sect.

"No, of course I know what kind of person you are, Cai Lin. As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, you are used to relying on yourself for everything and carrying everything on your own shoulders."

However, now that you have Xiao Xiao and me, I hope that I can be someone you can rely on from now on.

Xiao Yan spoke in the calmest tone, yet uttered words that were most captivating.

At this moment, Medusa stared in astonishment at Xiao Yan, who was so close to her.

Xiao Yan's eyes were so deep that she couldn't help but be captivated by them.

Of course, most importantly, Xiao Yan has seen through her completely!

Therefore, under Xiao Yan's gaze, Medusa nodded as if possessed, and murmured, "Mmm."

When she realized what she had just done, she was completely stunned.

She actually agreed to Xiao Yan's request and tried to rely on him?

My God, she seems to have really gone mad!

However, the words had already been spoken, and there was no chance to take them back.

At the same time, the moment Medusa nodded, Xiao Yan couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that Medusa had essentially accepted him.

How could he not be upset after realizing this?

"Come on, show me around some more."

At this moment, Xiao Yan rarely showed a hint of his domineering nature.

He actually led Medusa out of the palace hand in hand.

Surprisingly, Medusa did not offer the slightest resistance!

Even though Xiao Yan acted somewhat domineeringly, Medusa not only didn't dislike it, but was actually secretly pleased.

Once again, Xiao Yan Medusa strolled around the Xuanhuang Fortress together.

However, unlike last time.

Xiao Xiao was with them at that time, but the two didn't hold hands.

In that environment, the feeling between the three of them was one of home-like warmth.

But this time, Xiao Yan Medusa's hands were truly clasped together, and Xiao Xiao, the little third wheel, wasn't there either.

This kind of atmosphere is more like a date between lovers!

"Cai Lin."

The two walked hand in hand for an unknown amount of time before Xiao Yan suddenly called out softly to the person beside him.

"Um?"

Medusa responded instinctively.

Then, the two stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

At this moment, Xiao Yan simply grabbed Medusa's hands with both of his, and then they faced each other.

Medusa was already tall, and even when she was face to face with Xiao Yan, she was only half a head shorter than Xiao Yan.

Sensing the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere between them, Medusa's cheeks flushed slightly once again.

At the same time, she subconsciously tried to pull her hands away from Xiao Yan's grasp, but she failed.

She felt a little embarrassed when they were only holding hands.

Now that he's even better, it's normal that he feels uncomfortable.

But after trying to free her hands without success, she resigned herself to Xiao Yan's actions.

Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction once again.

"In a few days, Cai Lin, bring Xiao Xiao along, and I'll treat you to a grand fireworks show."

Xiao Yan said with a gentle smile.

"Fireworks show?"

Upon hearing the term, Medusa blinked, creating a somewhat endearing contrast.

She used to be a proud queen, but now you can't see that side of her at all!

"That's right, I'll make that firework bloom exceptionally beautifully!"

Xiao Yan spoke again, assuring him.

"Okay, I'll watch it with Xiao Xiao."

Seeing how serious Xiao Yan was, Medusa had no doubts and nodded directly.

At the same time, as their conversation ended, their heads unconsciously began to slowly move closer together.

Finally, as the sun set, the two of them pressed together.

Xiao Yan's lips pressed against Medusa's forehead.

The latter did not resist.

The setting sun cast its light upon the two of them. It was unclear whether Medusa blushed because of Xiao Yan's actions or simply due to the color of the sunset.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it's clear that it was a very successful date...
