The Awkward Medusa

"Phew, come with me."

After Kui Xing and Yue Mei left, Medusa sighed and looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression.

"Good!"

Xiao Yan nodded and agreed immediately.

Immediately, Medusa and Xiao Yan slowly entered the Imperial Palace of the Snake-People Tribe Holy City!

Along the way, whenever the Snake-People Tribe guards saw Medusa, they would kneel down respectfully.

Medusa, on the other hand, remained calm and composed throughout, clearly having long been accustomed to this.

However, this was the first time Xiao Yan had ever seen Medusa, the queen of the Snake-People Tribe!

When he first came to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City, it was to compete for the Green Lotus Core Flame.

When he met Medusa, she was already preparing to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to complete her transformation, so naturally she had no subordinates following her.

After Medusa's transformation encountered a slight problem, resulting in her turning into Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and leaving the Snake-People Tribe with him, he had even less chance to witness this scene!

It could be said that this was indeed the first time he had ever seen Medusa give orders to her subordinates.

However, looking at Medusa like this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a damn sense of accomplishment!

After all, he had Queen, whom the Snake-People Tribe revered as a god!

Moreover, she got him pregnant with her child.

As a man, this is certainly something to be proud of.

Thinking of all this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although Medusa was slightly ahead, she was, after all, Dou Venerable, and naturally could sense Xiao Yan's every move.

"Xiao Yan, what bad things are you thinking about now?"

Medusa slowed her pace and lowered her voice.

"Huh? Really? Absolutely not! You're just being too sensitive!"

Xiao Yan's reply was neither entirely reasonable nor entirely confident!

Thinking is not a crime; as long as he doesn't say it, Medusa can't do anything to him.

Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat roguish and shameless demeanor, Medusa was furious, but she couldn't retaliate.

She didn't know why, but ever since she discovered she was pregnant, she found it even harder to be cruel to Xiao Yan.

After leaving Jia Nan Academy and returning to the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa tried to forget what happened with Xiao Yan in the Underground Magma World.

At first, focusing our efforts on the Snake-People Tribe actually had some effect!

However, upon discovering she was pregnant, all her previous efforts were instantly wasted.

Not only that, but Xiao Yan's image would even flash before her eyes from time to time!

At this point, Medusa knew in her heart that she could no longer forget Xiao Yan.

Although she hasn't fallen in love with Xiao Yan yet, Xiao Yan has already appeared in her life and holds an extraordinary place in her heart!

This is Medusa's current understanding of Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, don't go too far! My patience has its limits!"

Feeling Xiao Yan's increasingly unrestrained gaze upon her, Medusa, amidst her anger, was actually overwhelmed by a joy that she herself could not believe.

Therefore, rather than being angry at Xiao Yan's gaze, she was more upset that she was becoming increasingly strange.

"Yes, I know. Don't get too excited. It's not good for you or the baby."

His mother had said that Medusa was currently pregnant, and he should just go along with whatever she wanted.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, which were clearly tinged with doting, Medusa suddenly felt a pang of panic.

Especially since Xiao Yan finally brought up the topic of the child in his belly!

This child has nothing to do with you!

This was Medusa's subconscious reaction.

However, upon hearing Medusa's explanation, Xiao Yan's brows suddenly furrowed.

Irrelevant?

How could this be unrelated!

"Without me, where would this child come from?"

Xiao Yan immediately retorted.

"Ha, you're talking like it's none of your business whether I keep the child or not. The decision has never been yours!"

Medusa gave a cold laugh.

Finally, upon seeing Medusa, Xiao Yan frowned for the first time.

"You don't want this child?"

Xiao Yan's voice also lowered at this moment.

Although he wasn't ready to be a father at first, now that Medusa was carrying his child, he would never give up on the child.

This is Xiao Yan's bottom line, and also his principle!

"I... I didn't say that. Whether or not to keep the child is a decision I can make myself; I don't need your interference!"

Meeting Xiao Yan's gaze, Medusa suddenly looked away guiltily.

Medusa's powerful position as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe made her unwilling to let Xiao Yan interfere with her decision regarding having children.

Although she didn't actually intend to abandon the child, Xiao Yan's relentless pressure made her feel uneasy, which is why she said those things.

"No! I am the child's father! I have the right to say that!"

This time, Xiao Yan's tone was quite domineering.

Was Medusa powerful?

The answer is yes.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan is even more powerful Medusa!

"Xiao Yan, I've said it before, this child is mine! As for you, I haven't acknowledged you as the child's father yet!"

As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, when had anyone ever spoken to her in such a tone?

Therefore, Medusa could no longer tolerate it!

Just when Medusa thought Xiao Yan would confront her, Xiao Yan's reaction surprised her.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's previously stern face, and his expression relaxed again.

"Then, Your Queen, what will it take for you to acknowledge me as the father of the child in your womb?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan really looks like a complete lackey!

It must be said that Xiao Yan is quite adaptable.

As for how he addressed Medusa, although this time it was "Your Queen" again, Medusa clearly didn't perceive Xiao Yan as treating her as a queen at all.

How should I put it?

That's just like what she'd seen before, how some Snake-People Tribe men coaxed their wives.

Now, Xiao Yan is treating me with the same attitude?

Medusa was somewhat bewildered by Xiao Yan's change in attitude, but surprisingly, she wasn't actually averse to it...

"Xiao Yan, you..."

For this reason, Medusa was momentarily at a loss as to how to react.

Conversely, seeing Medusa looking somewhat flustered, Xiao Yan revealed a victorious smile.

Despite Medusa's assertive demeanor, Xiao Yan could tell at a glance that she was a complete novice when it came to relationships.

But he's different. He has a wealth of romantic experience; for him, manipulating a Medusa is a piece of cake.

That's right, Xiao Yan's earlier feigned strength was actually a ploy to induce Medusa to say those words.

Only in this way could he make a breakthrough and get Medusa to acknowledge him as the child's father!
