"Speak. You're a human who came all the way to the sacred city of our Snake-People Tribe and claimed you wanted to see me. What exactly do you want?"
At that moment, Queen Medusa sat up slightly straighter and looked at Xiao Lin as she asked.
Though perhaps it was because those above set the example for those below.
Whether it was Yan Ci, whom Xiao Lin had encountered earlier, or Queen Medusa now, they had always referred to him as "human," as though his name did not exist at all...
This left Xiao Lin feeling a little depressed again.
That said, the current Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe was not Cai Lin, the future granddaughter-in-law of the Xiao Household!
Still, perhaps because relations between the Snake-People Tribe and humans had never been particularly good, the Snake-People Tribe collectively called all humans simply "humans"?
Xiao Lin also knew that now was not the time to bicker with his future granddaughter-in-law over such a trivial matter as forms of address.
"Your Majesty, I came this time because I wish to discuss cooperation with the Snake-People Tribe!"
Xiao Lin answered truthfully.
"Cooperation? Heh. Do you think a mere human like you has any standing to discuss cooperation with my Snake-People Tribe?"
At that moment, Queen Medusa wanted to laugh.
She could not trust humans!
After all, although humans were forbidden from entering the Snake-People Tribe's sacred city.
Snake-People still occasionally entered several cities around the Tagor Desert, such as Desert City in the Jia Ma Empire.
Because in these border cities, where quite a few humans and Snake-People had married, the cities were not overly hostile toward Snake-People.
There were even mixed-blood descendants of the two races living in border cities like Desert City, which bordered the Tagor Desert!
For that
