The atmosphere grew awkward at this point.
After a moment, Queen Medusa broke the silence. "Yue Mei, has anything major happened in the tribe during my absence?"
"Ah...oh..."
Yue Mei, still dazed by the awkwardness, paused for a moment before responding, "Things have been going on with our Serpent People the past few days, nothing major has happened."
After a pause, Yue Mei continued, "However, there has been some movement from the Jiamao Empire's royal family. They've stationed a troop at the foot of the Yunlan Sect."
"Hmm!"
Queen Medusa nodded after hearing Yue Mei's words.
After a moment's reflection, she understood the royal family's motive.
It must be because the Yunlan Sect's recent growth has been too strong, impacting the royal family's status.
Given the character of that old demon in the royal family, they would definitely make some preparations to prevent any future trouble.
"Is this going to be something interesting?"
The royal family and the Yunlan Sect seem to be at odds with each other. If something unexpected were to happen, the Serpent People could take advantage of the chaos and profit from it.
Queen Medusa's face lit up with a beautiful smile as she thought of this.
Yue Mei, who had been observing the queen's movements from the side, suddenly opened her mouth wide when she saw Medusa's smile.
Oh my god, so the queen can smile?
In Yue Mei's image, the queen has always been a noble and aloof figure.
As for her smile, perhaps few in the Serpent People have ever seen it?
"Could it all be because of that man?" Yue Mei stole a glance at Lin Yuan, who stood not far away.
After a closer look, Yue Mei nodded inwardly. "This human man is quite handsome."
Then, unable to suppress her curiosity, Yue Mei secretly tugged at the hem of Queen Medusa's clothes.
Her eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Yuan again, and she lowered her voice and said, "Queen, you and this human..."
Are you kidding? Lin Yuan is now a Dou Zong-level powerhouse, how sharp is his hearing?
Although Yue Mei's words were deliberately lowered a few millimeters, they still did not escape Lin Yuan's ears.
Before Queen Medusa could reply, Lin Yuan preemptively declared, "I'm her fiancé!"
Yue Mei was completely flustered at the word "fiancé."
Her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Queen... he... he... fiancé?"
Yue Mei's voice trembled with excitement.
Medusa blushed, glancing at Lin Yuan before pouting, "Don't listen to his nonsense..."
Although she didn't directly acknowledge her relationship with Lin Yuan, Yue Mei, familiar with Queen Medusa's character, knew it was a close call.
Otherwise, with the queen's aloofness, anyone else would have been slapped to death with such words.
"Hey, little snake girl, how long are you going to keep nagging my wife?"
Lin Yuan said impatiently, watching Yue Mei's incessant nagging.
"Okay, Yue Mei, I'm going to take Lin Yuan to the Elders' Hall. You go ahead."
Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Yuan, then turned to Yue Mei and instructed.
"I obey your command."
Yue Mei replied respectfully and then retreated.
"Let's go!"
After Yue Mei left, Lin Yuan came to Queen Medusa and stretched out his hand to put his arm around the beauty's waist.
Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa's back lightly dodged, and Lin Yuan immediately jumped empty.
"I can walk by myself!"
She said unhappily, and Queen Medusa waved her fighting wings and disappeared in an instant.
"Oh, this woman."
Lin Yuan reluctantly retracted his arm and chased after Queen Medusa as she left.
