Looking After the Child

As Xiao Lin finished speaking, the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li gaped in shock.

My own little brother actually managed to take down Queen Medusa?

Is this some kind of crazy thing?!

Clearly, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were stunned by their grandfather's words.

However, after the initial shock, the two brothers now have immense respect for their younger brother!

After all, the idea of Medusa bearing your children was something the two brothers never even dared to dream of before.

"Grandpa, does that mean Medusa is now our sister-in-law?"

"Xiao Yan is amazing! He's got a child with Medusa without making a sound. I want to see my little niece too!"

After learning the truth from their grandfather, the two brothers were both incredibly excited.

Of course, Medusa, who was standing nearby, also heard Xiao Lin's explanation.

Although she had never met the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, before, she was not surprised by their identities.

However, when Xiao Lin later mentioned his eldest uncle, second uncle, and great-grandfather, she couldn't help but frown and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, her relationship with Xiao Yan is complicated right now, and she always felt a little strange about contacting his family under these circumstances.

However, deep down, she doesn't seem to reject it?

Medusa herself was unaware of this.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, the two brothers, ran excitedly to their parents' side to see their little niece.

Xiao Lin, on the other hand, turned his attention to Medusa.

Even Xiao Xiao has been born, which means that Medusa is now firmly tied to the Xiao Household and is considered one of them.

Long time no see.

Xiao Lin first greeted Medusa.

"Um."

Medusa simply nodded at Xiao Lin as a greeting.

In order to facilitate cooperation between the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Lin personally made a trip to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City.

Medusa naturally had some impression of Xiao Lin.

To be honest, Medusa admired Xiao Lin quite a bit back then, for daring to venture alone into the Snake-People Tribe Holy City to negotiate with her!

You must know, her fame was enough to silence the cries of children in surrounding countries!

But Xiao Lin dared to negotiate and discuss cooperation with her. How could Medusa not be deeply impressed by him?

As it turned out, the Xiao Household did indeed cooperate sincerely with the Snake-People Tribe, and both sides benefited greatly from it.

Therefore, it can be said that in Medusa's eyes at that time, Xiao Lin was a person of importance!

However, after what happened between her and Xiao Yan, she felt awkward and unsure of what to say when she met Xiao Lin again.

After all, in Medusa's eyes now, Xiao Lin's status is different; he is Xiao Yan's grandfather!

This shift in mindset is difficult to describe.

"So, should I continue to call you Medusa, or Cai Lin?"

At this moment, Xiao Lin finally felt triumphant!

He had already made up his mind back then; he would call her Queen then, but now it's her turn to call him Grandpa!

"How... how could you?"

Xiao Lin's words undoubtedly shocked Medusa.

However, considering that the other party is Xiao Yan's grandfather, it seems quite reasonable that Xiao Yan would tell his family about the name he was given.

However, this only made Medusa even more embarrassed!

"Then, from now on, we'll all call you Cai Lin, just like Xiao Yan does, is that alright?"

Xiao Lin was starting to talk to himself.

Normally, Medusa should have refused.

However, what she actually said was, "Whatever... do whatever you want."

After saying that, she turned her head away arrogantly.

It's clear that Medusa doesn't actually mind the way Xiao Yan's family addresses her.

"Cai Lin, is this your name, Medusa? It's so beautiful! I always thought all the queens of the Snake-People Tribe were Medusa."

After hearing the conversation between her father-in-law and future daughter-in-law, Yang Xiyue smiled and spoke up.

Medusa really wanted to say that it always had been!

However, everything changed after Xiao Yan visited the Snake-People Tribe Holy City!

"Ahem, beautiful... Cai Lin, may I ask the purpose of your visit today? Is it for Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Zhan, who had been unsure how to communicate with his future daughter-in-law, finally spoke up and asked.

Of course, his first reaction was that Medusa had come to see Xiao Yan.

After all, they've already brought the child over, haven't they?

"Phew~"

When Xiao Zhan asked, Medusa finally took a deep breath, suppressing the uncomfortable yet longing feeling in her heart.

Well, although she felt a little uncomfortable around the Xiao Household, she could sense that they cared about her.

But among the Snake-People Tribe, it seems they were more concerned about what would happen if she weren't there.

To put it bluntly, when she was with the Snake-People Tribe, she lived for the Snake-People Tribe, but in the Xiao Household, it seems she can live for herself!

That's the difference!

"No, I came here not for Xiao Yan, but to ask you to help me take care of this child! Many people in the Snake-People Tribe want this child to inherit the name of Medusa, but that's not what I want to see."

Xiao Yan once told me that he didn't want his child to become Medusa in the future!

Medusa didn't hide anything and directly revealed her purpose.

For Medusa, having the Xiao Household family help raise her child was far more reliable than having her own clansmen do it!

"Oh, I see. We understand now. And what about you?"

Medusa has given birth to the next generation for the Xiao Household, so Xiao Zhan naturally accepts her as his future daughter-in-law!

Therefore, from the perspective of a father-in-law, he would naturally be worried about Medusa's condition.

"I, the Snake-People Tribe, still have many things to deal with! Moreover, in recent years, a force called the Lion Nether Sect has suddenly risen in the Northwest Continent and is expanding rapidly!"

It is suspected that there is a powerful figure from the Central Plains supporting them, and even the Heavenly Serpent Empire has now chosen to avoid their advance.

Judging from its expansion trend, it will soon be heading straight for the Tagor Desert and the Jia Ma Empire.

I need to be prepared!

Medusa spoke with a somewhat solemn expression.

It was precisely because she discovered this information that Medusa felt she couldn't take good care of Xiao Xiao and wanted to bring her to the Xiao Household so that Xiao Yan's family could help take care of the child.

According to intelligence, the expansion of the Lion Nether Sect will eventually threaten the life and death of the Snake-People Tribe!

Upon hearing Medusa suddenly mention the "Lion Nether Sect," Xiao Lin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"The Lion Nether Sect? Isn't this the Xuanhuang Fortress incident from the Original Work? It seems that after the auction of the Tou She Ancient God Jade, the Soul Hall has once again extended its claws to the Northwest Continent!"

Xiao Lin frowned as he thought to himself.
