Qing Lin's Massage

"In human society, there's a saying: 'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.' After you, Queen, are married over, let all things follow your husband, and make sure you don't throw your queen's temper around anymore..."

The Fourth Elder earnestly lectured Medusa on some of the rules of human marriage.

Although the Fourth Elder was Medusa's birth mother, respect and status had their proper order, and now Medusa was the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, so the respect she ought to have was still mandatory.

Because of the special nature of this marriage of theirs, aside from some necessary customs and traditions of the Snake-People Tribe, everything else had to follow human rules.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the strong reigned supreme.

If both sides were completely equal, one could easily throw a tantrum. But the groom's family background was profound, and a casual move by him allowed Medusa to break through to Dou Zong and evolve into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, so they had to clearly establish their own position.

"I know, I know..."

Medusa had walked until she was tired, flopping down onto the royal couch and kicking her slender, pale legs casually. Although the Fourth Elder's nagging annoyed her to listen to, she could only listen in silence.

Gazing at those tender jade feet, Medusa actually felt it was somewhat unreal, just like a dream.

The bottleneck that had trapped her for decades had broken through just like that, effortlessly, and without having to take the risk of using Heavenly Flames to evolve, she had become a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python with a noble bloodline.

This was something she hadn't even dared to dream of before.

"...Queen, although their prior style of action was somewhat domineering, that kid is still very good. Young as he is, he already possesses combat strength at the Dou Zong level, and the person is not bad either. You won't suffer any grievances marrying over there..."

Seeing Medusa looking like this, the Fourth Elder assumed she hadn't taken a fancy to the young man and felt aggrieved, so she patiently began to counsel Medusa.

This marriage had to succeed; the cost of failure was not something they could afford to bear.

"What are you saying, Mother~ I didn't say I disagreed either, I'm just..." At this moment, Medusa completely shed the cold aloofness and arrogance of a queen, and instead took on quite a bit of a young girl's coyness, some words too bashful to easily cross her lips.

"Just what?"

At this moment, the Second Elder, who had been flipping through an ancient tome, spoke up. Her hunchbacked, withered body looked as though it might fall apart at any second.

The Second Elder's experience was slightly less than that of the First Elder, so she had just been continuously searching through all the records within the tribe concerning the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Medusa's companion, the Purple Nether Flame Snake, had already evolved into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, so the next generation of queens born to her would definitely also possess the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline. The glorious prosperity of their Snake-People Tribe was just around the corner, so naturally they needed to make more preparations.

"It's nothing..." A slight blush spread across Medusa's face, and she didn't state clearly what she was thinking.

"Yo yo yo~ Has our Queen Majesty here grown lovesick?"

The Second Elder was an old snake turned spirit, having seen everything, so she naturally saw through Medusa's little bit of careful thought at a glance, and couldn't help teasing her.

"It seems we don't need to worry too much either. It hasn't even been a moment since she last saw him, and the queen is already missing the man..." The Fourth Elder joined in the teasing as well.

Medusa remained speechless, but her face grew even redder than before.

Marriage-she wasn't mentally prepared for it yet.

The image of that man surfaced in her mind, and she didn't even know whether she was willing or not...

"Rowing~ an awning boat rose up-smooth against the water and following the wind-your eighteen-year-old face~ like the lotus flower facing the sun blooming with extraordinary red..."

"Passing~ through the bluestone lane-lighting the red lanterns-your eighteen years of waiting~ is a pure and innocent smil~e..."

In a certain street in the eastern part of the Snake-People Holy City, Luo Yang led Yue Ti Xia and Qing Lin, strolling leisurely through the holy city. Because he was too bored, Luo Yang even started singing a song for the two of them.

Wherever they passed, green grass grew and fresh flowers blossomed, imbuing the desert region, which had lain desolate and lifeless for thousands of years, with vitality.

The surrounding snake-people, who had originally been hostile toward them and dared not speak out of anger, upon seeing this scene, all cast curious gazes at the human who was about to marry their Queen Majesty.

Looking at the vegetation covering the sand and rocks all around in a riot of color, they plucked one as they passed by, and it turned out to be truly real, not any sort of mirage.

Gradually, the majority of them bowed down in worship toward those few departing backs, all declaring that a divine manifestation had occurred.

They felt that this alliance through marriage with the humans didn't seem so bad after all.

In the span of a few hours, Luo Yang, Qing Lin, and Yue Ti Xia walked through every single place in the Snake-People Holy City, giving the originally lifeless City of Yellow Sands a completely fresh look.

Hai Bodong had originally wanted to follow along as well, but upon seeing Young Master Luo leading a new young lady, and thinking of those methods that didn't require his protection, he very tactfully chose not to go and act as this third wheel.

He knew very well that Young Master Luo held grudges; offending Young Master Luo brought no benefits whatsoever...

"Little Xia tired? Come, drink some water."

During a break, Luo Yang retrieved a bottle of water from his Storage Ring and handed it to Yue Ti Xia.

Walking for these past few hours, coupled with continuously stimulating plant growth, consumed quite a bit of physical energy for Yue Ti Xia.

"Thank you... So shy, so shy..."

When accepting the water, Luo Yang "accidentally" touched Yue Ti Xia's hand, causing the Shy Young Lady to start getting shy all over again, and the water bottle in her hand almost dropped to the ground.

Compared to ordinary naive sweet girls, Yue Ti Xia was a complete blank sheet of paper, and extremely sensitive at that.

"Here, Qing Lin, you drink some water too."

Luo Yang paid no mind to Yue Ti Xia's bashfulness; after all, this was already the 98th time Yue Ti Xia had been shy today, and he was already used to it.

"Thank you, Young Master~"

Qing Lin gave a sweet smile, deliberately cupping Luo Yang's hand, and then drank the water directly.

At the same time, she cast a glance filled with extreme smugness toward Yue Ti Xia.

Hmph~ Some person who only knows how to be shy, and she still wants to fight her for the young master?

The Snake-People Holy City had already been taken care of, and after resting, the three of them-Luo Yang, Qing Lin, and Yue Ti Xia-began to branch out into the areas surrounding the Snake-People Holy City.

This marriage, you see, had to be done with a massive show.

Six days until the wedding...

"Ah~"

"So comfortable..."

Inside a certain secret chamber, Luo Yang lay face down on a stone table, wearing only a pair of large trunks.

Qing Lin was wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit with her hair tied in twin tails, stepping barefoot upon Luo Yang's back, performing a type of massage called back-stepping.

At times she stepped down with force, and at other times she gently tapped with her toes.

"Heehee..."

Seeing that Luo Yang liked her back-stepping so much, Qing Lin smiled sweetly, and the steps under her feet became even more diligent.

Enjoying that massage from Qing Lin's little feet, Luo Yang couldn't help crying out in pleasure.

In his heart, he reflected on what an utterly correct choice it had been to take Qing Lin away from Stone Desert City back then.

If a top-tier gem like this had been left for Xiao Yan, the latter would have died of regret.

People say lolis have three good traits-soft voice, lithe body, easy to push over. Tender, big-eyed, and small in stature, light makeup and plain skirt look equally good. Cherry-small mouth eats very little, give candy and toys and they won't make a fuss. Well-behaved and obedient with a good personality, pure minds make things easy. Proactive and pleasing, truly clever; hairless, clean, and smells sweet. Cute and childish, push her down till you're full, and those cute little heels can't run away.
