Half an hour later, Queen Medusa stopped above a magnificent palace.
Staring intently downward, her brow furrowed slightly, as if she were lost in thought.
Lin Yuan also stopped at this point, and the two stood side by side.
"Why don't you go down?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.
Judging from Queen Medusa's previous behavior, she was already impatient for her breakthrough.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to the Serpent People after hearing about the "transfiguration."
But now that she had reached Serpent People's territory, she stopped here, which was quite unusual.
Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated expression and pointed downward. "The materials for the transformation are stored in the Elders' Hall, but..."
At this point, Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan, as if she was about to say something but hesitated.
Lin Yuan could see every change in her expression.
Then, he grasped Queen Medusa's soft hand and said, "But what?"
Queen Medusa bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, a pleading look in her eyes. "Lin Yuan, promise me a favor, okay?"
"What is it?"
Seeing the queen's expression, Lin Yuan felt a pang of pain.
Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the beautiful woman's hand.
"Huh!"
Queen Medusa sighed, as if trying to form her words.
After a moment, her red lips moved slightly, and she said, "I'll take you to the Elders' Hall to obtain the materials for refining the transformation."
At this, Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Yuan and continued, "But I hope you won't mention your fiancé in front of the elders."
"Why?"
He had thought that after their previous flirtations, Queen Medusa had gradually come to accept him.
But now, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a pang of self-mockery.
It seemed he had been too sentimental after all!
How could the noble queen truly be moved by him?
Lin Yuan subconsciously released Queen Medusa's hand, his expression a momentarily dejected.
Noticing Lin Yuan's change, Queen Medusa was stunned for a moment.
But the next second, she realized why Lin Yuan was acting this way.
This time, Queen Medusa took Lin Yuan's hand and said anxiously, "Lin Yuan, it's not what you think..."
"Hmm?"
Queen Medusa's sudden action left Lin Yuan a little bewildered.
Didn't she dislike him?
What was the meaning of this action now?
Flirting?
"Huh? No!"
Lin Yuan reacted in an instant.
How aloof was Queen Medusa in the film?
If she hadn't been taken advantage of by that beast Xiao Yan at her weakest moment, no man would have been able to enter her heart.
Even in the late Doupo period, after her relationship with Xiao Yan was confirmed, Queen Medusa never initiated any intimate gestures with him.
How could a woman like that be so casual?
Therefore, Lin Yuan suspected that Queen Medusa must have some compelling reason.
"That's right!"
He suddenly remembered that the film had briefly introduced her, saying that as the queen of the Serpent People, she seemed to be forbidden to marry.
Sure enough, seeing that Lin Yuan had been silent for a long time, Queen Medusa's voice sounded again.
"According to our Serpent People's ancestral teachings, as the king of the Serpent People, you must never marry, especially not with humans."
Queen Medusa's tone was full of resignation.
Seeing Lin Yuan's face brighten, she finally felt relieved and continued, "If you mention your fiancé's feelings in front of the elders, they will definitely not be pleased!"
The next moment, Queen Medusa suddenly hugged Lin Yuan. "I don't want you to clash with the elders. After all, this is where they raised me!"
This hug was enough to prove Queen Medusa's love for Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan didn't waste any words. He reached out and tightly embraced Queen Medusa.
He stroked her hair with one hand and said gently, "Don't worry, little darling, I won't make things difficult for you!"
As he spoke, a cold look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.
Such a snake-man, such an ancestral precept!
If it weren't for the beauty in his arms, Lin Yuan would have rushed in without hesitation and slaughtered all those old men.
But right now, his queen wanted nothing.
After receiving Lin Yuan's assurance, Queen Medusa finally felt relieved. She raised her little head and looked at Lin Yuan, "Thank you!"
"Silly!"
Lin Yuan extended his finger lovingly and scratched Queen Medusa's nose.
"Then let's go find the elders and get the materials for the transformation, okay?"
As expected, no matter how aloof a woman is, she will become as childish as a child in front of the one she loves.
At this moment, Queen Medusa was like a child in front of Lin Yuan.
"Okay, let's go!"
With that, they both landed.
Led by Queen Medusa, the two walked into the Elders' Hall one after the other...
