Chapter 98: Encountering Medusa at Night

After receiving Xiao Yan's Qing Lian Dizixin Fire Lotus Platform, Queen Medusa that night found a suitable place and planted it.

At this time, Hua She Er was sent to receive Xiao Yan, so only Yue Mei remained by her side.

While planting the lotus platform's roots into the ground as Xiao Yan instructed, she said to Yue Mei beside her: "Do you know why I scolded you just now?"

"Your Majesty, I understand," Yue Mei bowed behind Queen Medusa, her face showing shame; she was no fool, and after this period she had figured some things out.

"Your Majesty, I was rash and nearly ruined your great affair; please punish me!" Saying this, Yue Mei almost lowered her head into the mud.

"Alright, get up." After planting the lotus platform, Queen Medusa turned around, not using Dou Qi but personally helping Yue Mei up with her hands, saying: "Xiao Yan said something correct—you are only thinking of me; for loyal subjects, I have never been harsh."

"Your Majesty!" Yue Mei's eyes brimmed with hot tears, overwhelmed with emotion!

"Alright, alright, control your emotions; you're a leader now—how can you still be so unstable!" Queen Medusa said sternly, though she doted on Yue Mei.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yue Mei quickly composed herself, then recalled something and softly asked Queen Medusa: "Um, Your Majesty, can this human really help you transform your bloodline?"

"Well." Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes, a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth, and said: "He had better be able to!"

In the luxury guest room arranged by Hua She Er for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, unable to calm down.

Whenever Xiao Yan tried to quiet his mind, the alluring image of Queen Medusa would appear in his thoughts, making his heart flutter anxiously.

"Hiss! Strange—I recall Queen Medusa doesn't have any innate charm-body talent or the like?"

The Xiao Yan sitting on the bed slowly opened his eyes, murmuring strangely to himself.

Since he couldn't calm down anyway, Xiao Yan simply stopped resting; as a Dou Ling, going a month without rest wouldn't matter.

Stepping out and wandering around, Xiao Yan soon sensed the lotus platform's aura and headed straight toward that direction without hesitation.

Along the way, he naturally encountered many Snake People guards, but they had apparently been greeted in advance, so they did not intend to block Xiao Yan.

Soon, a vast temple appeared before Xiao Yan.

"This is——"

When this massive temple appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes, an old memory surged in his heart; if he wasn't mistaken, this was the original site where Medusa transformed her bloodline.

But unlike in the original, this time Xiao Yan entered openly and properly.

Following the winding corridor into the temple's depths, he reached the edge of a clear lake.

At the lake's center, a small island could be vaguely seen, and on that island, Xiao Yan could sense the aura of the lotus platform he had given.

Gazing at the lake beneath his feet, Xiao Yan faintly sensed special auras—like forbidden power, poison, even magic beasts—clearly this was no ordinary lake!

Yet Xiao Yan showed no fear; he curled his lips into a faint smile and stepped directly onto the lake surface.

At the moment Xiao Yan stepped onto the lake surface, a force trying to press him into the lake descended upon him.

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged; after a slight pause, he continued forward.

Meanwhile, the magic beasts in the lake that had originally wanted to charge at strangers, seeing Xiao Yan unaffected by the suppression, felt in their small brains that they likely couldn't win, so they turned and fled without looking back, seemingly to report.

As for the poison in the lake—hah, just a bunch of underwater toxins; what does it matter to someone on the water?

Xiao Yan chuckled lightly, quickened his pace, and soon surpassed the underwater magic beasts' silhouettes.

But just as Xiao Yan was about to approach the lake's small island, a pure white figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

A voluptuous, proud body, half-exposed and unclothed on the lake surface—should be bathing!

Due to lack of preparation, plus the excellent moonlight tonight, especially with Xiao Yan's vision far surpassing ordinary people's—let alone above the lake surface, even below it he had seen seven or eight parts!

Xiao Yan's expression froze; the distant lake figure seemed to also sense someone approaching, and a terrifying aura instantly erupted, whipping up giant waves on the surrounding lake surface to conceal her form while transforming into a terrifying assault lunging at Xiao Yan!

Die! Die! Die!

Xiao Yan thought in his heart.
