Fine, I Agree

The other three elders could no longer be bothered with the First Elder.

"Meeting! Meeting! Everyone, gather around," the Second Elder called.

"I hereby announce the topic of this meeting: how to make our penniless queen fall in love with a rich young master!"

The Second Elder slapped the table and shouted.

The Third Elder and Fourth Elder eagerly gathered around.

This was a major matter concerning the future of the Snake-People Tribe. They could not afford the slightest carelessness.

After wallowing in sorrow for a while, the First Elder also joined them. After all, even without love, she still needed bread. This matter truly concerned the rise and fall of the Snake-People Tribe.

Meanwhile, Medusa was searching through information in the Book Pavilion, hoping to learn more about her constitution.

Yue Mei stayed beside Medusa. She was not idle either, leafing through one secret manual after another to help Medusa find the answers she sought.

"Your Majesty... forgive my boldness, but why are you so happy today?"

Yue Mei suddenly noticed that Her Majesty was secretly smiling even while reading today. What was going on?

Could it have something to do with Long Xiao?

Heavens, if that really was the case, I wouldn't stand a chance. I'd thought Her Majesty was too noble and aloof to take an interest in such things, especially with a human man.

"Hmm, my strength advanced to Four-Star Dou Zong. Naturally, I'm a little pleased." Medusa casually found an excuse to brush her off.

"Oh, I see," Yue Mei replied. She already knew the queen had successfully evolved.

"Hahaha, Shasha, I'm back!"

A burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door.

Medusa's cheeks flushed at the sound, and she seemed a little nervous, so she hurriedly composed herself.

Soon, Long Xiao walked in, happiness written all over his face.

"Mei'er, leave us for now," Medusa instructed Yue Mei. She did not want to lose her dignity as queen in front of Yue Mei. Who knew what Long Xiao might do to her?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yue Mei answered respectfully, then left the Book Pavilion. And as she left, her heart shattered.

"Guess whether the elders agreed?"

Long Xiao sat on a table and asked as he looked at the peerless beauty before him.

Medusa shook her head and said coolly, "I'm not guessing."

"All right, since you want to know, I'll tell you..."

Bang!

Before Long Xiao could say anything more, the doors of the Book Pavilion suddenly swung open, cutting him off.

Four figures suddenly barged in.

A closer look revealed that they were the four elders.

As soon as they entered, they looked at Medusa and Long Xiao, their expressions filled with the kindness and warmth of elders looking upon their juniors.

Medusa stared at the intruders and frowned.

"Elders, why have you come in?"

"Ahem, well... Your Majesty, after discussing the matter of your romance with Young Master Long Xiao in our meeting, we have reached a decision. I shall now announce the result."

The First Elder coughed twice and cleared her throat.

At this, the smile froze on Medusa's face. Remembering how smugly Long Xiao had been carried away with himself earlier, she knew this could not be anything good.

"After investigation, we have determined that Young Master Long Xiao is wise and valiant, immensely powerful, exceptionally handsome, and blessed with eight bushels of talent. He is one thousand percent worthy of Her Majesty."

"Therefore, we will not interfere. We hope that Your Majesty will take the initiative, cherish Young Master Long Xiao, and care for him. Be a good wife as well as a worthy queen."

After finishing her speech, the First Elder turned her gaze to Long Xiao, all smiles.

Medusa was dumbfounded.

What on earth was going on?

One thousand percent? Did that mean I was the one throwing myself at him?

The Second Elder even came over and gave Medusa a push. Long Xiao seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms and wrap an arm around her waist.

This made Medusa blush even more.

"All right, the queen appears to have no objections whatsoever. And look how well they get along! It's settled, then. We'll announce it shortly," the Second Elder said with a smile.

"Wait!"

Seeing the four elders' expressions, Medusa broke free of Long Xiao's arm.

"Long Xiao, what bewitching potion did you feed them? Why are they all on your side?"

"If you threatened them with your strength, I'd rather die than agree."

Long Xiao rubbed his nose. He did not know either. He had merely dropped a few things and won them over with his personal charm.

He said, "I didn't bewitch them. Perhaps I'm simply too outstanding, and they all think you ought to marry me."

The expression on Long Xiao's face practically begged for a beating.

Medusa: "..."

"All of you, leave. Long Xiao and I have important matters to discuss."

"Of course, we'll leave right away. But about Young Master Long Xiao's..."

The four elders rubbed their hands together and looked at Long Xiao with beaming smiles.

Long Xiao nodded in satisfaction and gave a light wave of his hand. Ten glittering golden treasure chests appeared on the floor.

At the sight of those ten treasure chests, Medusa immediately understood. So this was how Long Xiao had made the elders switch sides?

"Ohohoho!" The elders grinned so widely at the treasure chests that they could not close their mouths.

"Enough. Get lost."

Medusa was growing impatient with the shameless faces of these old fossils.

"Right away, Your Majesty! We wish you both happiness. We'll be off, then, and announce this immediately."

With that, the elders hurriedly hoisted the treasure chests and vanished in a flash.

Only after the elders had left did Medusa stamp her feet in anger.

Those old foxes infuriated her! They had actually sold her out for a few paltry benefits.

"All right, don't be angry."

Long Xiao chuckled, walked up to Medusa, and reached out to embrace her.

"Are you going back on your word? You don't want to be my cultivation partner?"

He leaned close to Medusa's ear.

At his words, Medusa flushed even redder. The elders had all agreed, so what reason did she have left to refuse? Perhaps... they could try being together first?

"F-fine, I agree. From today onward, you are my cultivation partner."

After a moment of silence, Medusa spoke in a low voice.

If it was a blessing, it wasn't a calamity. If it was a calamity, there was no escaping it.

"Hahaha, good, good, wonderful!"

With the speed of thunder striking before one could cover one's ears, Long Xiao planted a kiss on Medusa's cheek.

Medusa was too embarrassed to raise her head. She truly wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Honestly, this man kissed her at the drop of a hat. Could he not restrain himself a little?

Long Xiao secretly rejoiced. He had finally won her over.

In the sky.

The Starmoon Protector appeared there.

She had been observing Long Xiao for several days, except for the night he ** with Medusa.

She was feeling very frustrated.

Young Master Long Xiao had cheated. Her young lady had been made a cuckold.

Although the Four Branches made no distinction between one another, she ultimately belonged to Bai Ling'er's branch. Her own young lady had been cheated on. How frustrating.

"Young Master Long Xiao, oh, Young Master Long Xiao, what am I supposed to say about you? You actually failed to restrain yourself. My poor young lady... how am I supposed to explain this? This is so frustrating!"

The Starmoon Protector sighed helplessly.

Although she was merely a lowly protector at the seventh level of the Saint Realm,

she had watched all four young masters grow up, and she was upset too.

She desperately wanted to find someone to fight and vent her frustration. With her strength, unless a Dou Di appeared, no one on the Dou* Continent could contend with her.

Moreover, she had learned that the strongest beings in this world were only Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

"Forget it. I'll just pretend I didn't see anything. It's none of my business. I'm blind."

"I've already found out where the other three young masters are. There shouldn't be any problems here with Young Master Long Xiao, so I'll go check on them first."

With that, the Starmoon Protector flickered and disappeared into the distance.
