Let's Talk About This Later

After Jia Xing Tian left the Snake-People Tribe settlement, Queen Medusa sat silently in the great hall for a long time.

She lowered her head and looked at the gifts Jia Xing Tian had left behind. Casually picking up a jade bottle, she opened it and took a look. Inside was a pill of decent quality. For the Snake-People Tribe, it truly counted as a generous gift. It seemed Jia Xing Tian had really spared no expense this time.

After Queen Medusa put the jade bottle back and returned to her seat, her fingers lightly tapped the armrest as a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. Just who was this person named Lu Chuan?

The Sky Screen had revealed his strength with absolute clarity: Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, creator of a Heaven Tier Cultivation Technique, refiner of Ninth-grade Pills. Any one of those pieces of information was enough to shake the entire continent.

Yet she, Queen Medusa, had never even heard of such a terrifying existence before. Moreover, the Sky Screen showed that she would marry him in the future and even stand beside him with a swollen belly.

At the thought, Queen Medusa's face reddened again, and she hurriedly cast the notion aside.

Seeing Her Majesty in that state, Yue Mei could not help asking, "Your Majesty, do you truly intend to accept the gifts Jia Xing Tian brought?"

Queen Medusa came back to her senses and nodded faintly. "Accept them. Since someone is giving us gifts, there is no reason to refuse them. Besides, Jia Xing Tian's initiative in showing goodwill means he has already yielded. The Snake-People Tribe's situation within the Jia Ma Empire should improve considerably from now on."

Joy appeared on Yue Mei's face upon hearing this. "That would be wonderful. If the humans no longer hunt down our Snake-People Tribe, our people will no longer have to hide away in the desert."

Queen Medusa nodded, but another matter still occupied her thoughts.

In truth, Jia Xing Tian had taken the initiative to show goodwill entirely because the Sky Screen had exposed her relationship with Lu Chuan. In other words, everything she had gained now was because of that man named Lu Chuan.

A complicated emotion surged within Queen Medusa's heart. She had lived for centuries and had always relied on her own strength to reach where she was today. She had never depended on anyone.

Yet the Sky Screen claimed that she would become someone else's wife in the future, and that left her deeply uncomfortable.

Yue Mei seemed to have seen through Her Majesty's thoughts and softly asked, "Your Majesty, are you thinking about what the Sky Screen showed?"

Queen Medusa fell silent for a while before asking, "Yue Mei, do you think the content shown on that Sky Screen must be true?"

"If Lu Chuan truly is that powerful, how could he have remained unknown all this time? No one on the entire continent has ever heard his name."

After thinking it over, Yue Mei shook her head. "Your Majesty, this subordinate does not know whether what the Sky Screen showed is true or false. But even Jia Xing Tian believes it, which means this matter is indeed no trivial one."

"Furthermore, if Lu Chuan truly is a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, hiding his identity would indeed be an easy matter for him."

Queen Medusa remained silent for a long time after hearing that answer. Finally, she rose to her feet. "Forget it. Let's talk about this later."

"Since Jia Xing Tian has already yielded, the Snake-People Tribe's days ahead should be easier. I'll go back and rest first."

Yue Mei then bowed and watched Queen Medusa leave.

After Queen Medusa returned to her bedchamber, she closed the door and sat there alone.

Although she did not know whether she would truly marry Lu Chuan in the future, nor whether what the Sky Screen showed was real, there was one thing she knew clearly: if Lu Chuan truly existed, she had to meet him at least once.

And she wanted to know what kind of man this person called a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint by the Sky Screen truly was.
