Queen Medusa with a Big Belly?

In the Jia Ma Empire, within the Snake-People Tribe's great hall in the Tagor Desert.

Queen Medusa sat in her seat, propping her chin up with one hand, her expression tinged with deep thought.

Ever since the Sky Screen had revealed information about someone named Lu Chuan a few days ago, she had been unable to calm her heart.

A Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint who had created his own Heaven Tier Cultivation Technique and refined Ninth-grade Pills—there were only a handful of such beings in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Yet someone like that had actually destroyed the Misty Cloud Sect. Who knew how the Misty Cloud Sect had offended him?

Just then, while Queen Medusa was pondering these matters, several Snake-People Tribe elders entered from outside, with Yue Mei at the front.

"Your Majesty, the people we sent out these past few days have investigated. We found absolutely no information on Lu Chuan within the Jia Ma Empire. Could it be that he is not from the Jia Ma Empire at all, but came from somewhere else on the continent?"

Hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, she said, "That is possible. After all, in a small place like the Jia Ma Empire, a powerhouse of the Nine-Star Dou Saint level should not have appeared."

"If he came from the Central Plains or somewhere else, then it would be normal for us to find nothing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Mei nodded. "Then, Your Majesty, should we continue investigating?"

Just as Queen Medusa was about to answer, she suddenly noticed a golden light lighting up within the hall.

Startled, she raised her head and looked over, only to see that familiar Sky Screen once again appear out of thin air in midair.

Seeing the Sky Screen appear, Queen Medusa felt somewhat curious. She wondered what information about Lu Chuan it would reveal this time, so she fixed her gaze on its contents as an image began to emerge.

In the image, a pregnant woman stood beside a man, and the two appeared extremely intimate.

At first, Queen Medusa did not pay much attention to it. For a powerhouse of that level, it was perfectly normal for several women to admire him. There was nothing strange about it.

After all, what woman on the entire continent would not want to cling to the lofty branch of a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint?

Just as she was about to look away and see whether the Sky Screen contained any other information, Yue Mei beside her suddenly cried out, "Your Majesty! Look!"

Pointing at the image on the Sky Screen, Yue Mei's confused expression gradually turned to shock.

"Look carefully at that woman on the Sky Screen! Th-that's you, isn't it?!"

Hearing that, Queen Medusa froze for a moment and hurriedly turned her gaze back to the Sky Screen, carefully examining the image.

This look left her completely dumbfounded. The image on the Sky Screen clearly showed that the pregnant woman standing beside Lu Chuan had her face, figure, and temperament. She was unmistakably Queen Medusa herself!

Queen Medusa shot to her feet, her eyes wide as she stared fixedly at the image on the Sky Screen.

"Th-this is impossible?!"

At that instant, Queen Medusa was unable to conceal her shock and panic.

The other Snake-People Tribe elders in the hall had also seen what was displayed on the Sky Screen, and every one of them was stunned.

"Is that really Her Majesty? We can't have seen it wrong, can we?"

"The face is identical, and that temperament—there's no way it could be wrong! The Sky Screen shows Her Majesty standing beside Lu Chuan with a big belly, so doesn't that mean..."

That elder did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant. In an instant, the entire hall erupted as everyone began chattering at once.

"Could the image shown on the Sky Screen mean that Her Majesty will eventually marry Lu Chuan?"

"If that is true, then Her Majesty will become the wife of a Nine-Star Dou Saint! Heavens, wouldn't our Snake-People Tribe rise along with her?"

"With a Nine-Star Dou Saint as our backer, who on the entire continent would dare bully our Snake-People Tribe?"

Listening to the clamorous discussion around her, Queen Medusa's expression changed again and again.

For a moment, she was embarrassed, angry, and shocked. Pointing at the image on the Sky Screen, her lips trembled several times, yet she could not utter a word.

As the dignified queen of the Snake-People Tribe, she had lived for centuries without ever falling for any man. Yet the Sky Screen actually said she would marry a man while pregnant with his child—and a man she had never even met?

At this moment, Queen Medusa's face was filled with shock, and her heart was in complete turmoil.

Seeing Queen Medusa in that state, Yue Mei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the content displayed on the Sky Screen should be something that will happen in the future. In other words, you truly will one day..."

"Shut up!" Queen Medusa snapped, cutting Yue Mei off. "Who knows whether this Sky Screen is real or fake? Why are all of you getting so excited? Maybe this thing is just deceiving us!"

Despite saying that, Queen Medusa could not stop herself from glancing at the Sky Screen.

The woman in the image truly was herself; there was no denying that. And although the face of the man standing beside her could not be seen clearly, judging by his build and temperament, he should have been Lu Chuan, whom the Sky Screen had revealed before.

Seeing this, Queen Medusa bit her lip, unable to describe the feelings in her heart.

If things were truly as the Sky Screen showed, and she would marry a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint in the future, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous blessing for the entire Snake-People Tribe. But she did not even know what that man looked like, and she was already going to bear his child?

This was far too absurd!

At the sight of this scene, Yue Mei and several elders continued discussing it excitedly, their faces unable to hide their exhilaration.

"If Her Majesty truly marries Lu Chuan, then our Snake-People Tribe will never have to remain cooped up in this wretched desert again!"

"Exactly! The wife of a Nine-Star Dou Saint would hold an immensely noble status. Every faction on the continent would have to show her some respect. Who would have thought that our Snake-People Tribe would finally have a day to rise?"

Listening as they grew more and more outrageous, Queen Medusa finally could not hold back and rebuked them. "Enough! All of you, be quiet!"

After her shout, everyone quickly shut their mouths, though the excitement on their faces still could not be suppressed.

After taking a deep breath, Queen Medusa sat back down. She looked at the image on the Sky Screen with a complicated gaze. She had never imagined that one day, she would stand beside a Nine-Star Dou Saint with a big belly.

Seeing this scene, her heart was a mess. She had no idea whether the Sky Screen was reliable, but if it was true...
