The scene suddenly froze, becoming utterly silent...

Chapter 89 Stealing a Husband?

My girlfriend and I were being all lovey-dovey when my sister-in-law caught us in the act. What should I do?!

Waiting online, very anxious.

Yao Yan was a little stunned at this moment. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. After all, who would have thought that the gold medal given by Queen Medusa would have a built-in projection function? Judging from the changes in the other party's expression, it was clear that everything at the moment was being seen by the other party. This feeling... was truly incredibly exciting.

Feeling the cool, smooth touch on his waist, he couldn't help but quirk and patted the butterfly's tail, indicating that she didn't need to be so engrossed, as someone was watching.

"Ok?"

The butterfly let out a sweet, soft moan, its hazy eyes looking at Yao Yan with confusion, not understanding why Yao Yan had stopped.

Fortunately, alchemists have strong soul perception. If he were as confused as Cai Die, things would get interesting today... Yao Yan muttered to himself, then coughed righteously to signal Cai Die, who was wrapped around him, to wake up.

Cai Die finally regained some composure. She blinked and met the gaze of Queen Medusa beside her. The murderous aura emanating from those phoenix eyes instantly calmed her down, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Sister?!"

Realizing her current situation, she let out a scream. The alluring snake tail released Yao Yan and nimbly burrowed into the bedding, burying its head in the sand like an ostrich, leaving only its dark blue tail swaying anxiously outside.

Queen Medusa fell silent upon seeing this, the murderous intent in her eyes lessening slightly, for she had already realized that the butterfly was not being forced.

She thought Yao Yan had done something to Cai Die, but she never expected that the two were actually in love, at least that's how it seemed to Cai Die. She seemed very willing, which made her, as the older sister, feel depressed. How long has it been? Her silly younger sister has already given herself away.

Queen Medusa's family has always been loyal in love; if they fall in love with someone, they will never fall in love with anyone else.

and so……

Her eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, she looked at Yao Yan, while her voice, which could make one's bones melt, rang out softly: "Find a private room, I want to talk to you."

Yao Yan wanted to argue, but looking at his naked body, he felt it was better to remain silent. At the same time, he was impressed by his sister-in-law's imposing presence. As expected of the queen of the snake people, she didn't change her expression at all when she saw the naked handsome man. For the first time, he doubted his own looks.

He quickly put on his clothes.

As a man, one must be quick in both dressing and undressing. This skill, which Yao Yan cultivated during high school, proved invaluable after entering society, helping him avoid many unnecessary misunderstandings.

Soon, Yao Yan got dressed.

Before he could say anything, Queen Medusa's aggressive voice came over, urging, "Let's go!"

Looking at Cai Die, who was still burying her head in the sand like an ostrich, Yao Yan couldn't help but doubt her previous words. He remembered that just half an hour ago, Cai Die had sworn to protect him, and this was all?!

As expected, Butterfly was unreliable.

He walked towards the alchemy room with the projection of Queen Medusa in his arms.

As the two left, Cai Die, who had been hiding under the covers, peeked out with her rosy head. Her fair and delicate face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be brimming with tears of shyness. Like a pear blossom in the rain, she was incredibly charming and alluring. She gently bit her moist lips and muttered softly, "Oh no, my sister seems to be angry..."

It was only then that she suddenly remembered that she and her sister seemed to have a unique telepathic connection since childhood, and could roughly sense each other's emotions and feelings.

But this place seems to be quite far from the snake people, so how could it be...?

Thinking about everything that had just happened, she felt as if white mist was rising from her head, and she felt dizzy.

"do not care!"

She selectively escaped, retreating back into the covers, unwilling to face this 'cruel' reality.

……

Yao Yan was unaware that the two sisters had such a telepathic connection. He was completely open with Queen Medusa at the moment, not feeling that he had done anything wrong. Love between men and women was a normal thing. He hadn't deceived Cai Die in any way. Neither of them were married, so what was wrong with getting to know each other better?

Of course, despite having an open and honest mindset, one still feels inferior when facing Queen Medusa.

This might be the feeling of guilt that comes from being caught red-handed by the woman's family.

Queen Medusa's gaze turned icy, her sweet voice suddenly filled with murderous intent as she questioned in a low voice, "I ordered you to take care of my sister, and this is how you take care of her?!"

She had previously thought Yao Yan was a decent human being, but in less than two months, he had tricked her sister into bed... For the first time, she wondered if there was something wrong with her brain that she had chosen to trust a human!

"Love grows over time, and it becomes uncontrollable..."

Faced with Queen Medusa's question, Yao Yan pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

Queen Medusa's red lips curved into a cold smile as she sneered, "What a fine excuse of 'love growing over time' and 'uncontrollable feelings.' My sister has lived in the palace since childhood and rarely interacts with outsiders. Now that you almost tricked her into bed, do you think you can just let this go with a single sentence?"

"I will take responsibility for Cai Die."

Yao Yan said very seriously.

"A colorful butterfly?!"

Queen Medusa frowned upon hearing this. She hadn't expected that this human had even named his sister. As he continued, "I didn't deceive her. Although we haven't known each other for very long, I'm serious about Rainbow Butterfly. I really like her. For this reason, I made a deal with the Gama Empire. The Gama Empire will give the Snake People a piece of land suitable for survival."

"I will not use my own sister as a bargaining chip!"

Queen Medusa's tone remained icy, showing no intention of negotiation whatsoever.

Yao Yan shook his head slightly and corrected, "This is not a transaction. I just want to resolve some of Cai Die's worries. In fact, even if you hadn't appeared today, Cai Die and I would have arrived at the Snake People's Clan in a few days to tell you everything and discuss the future of the Snake People's Clan with you. According to humans, the Snake People's Clan is Cai Die's maternal home, although this maternal home is not friendly."

He looked helpless. In fact, he couldn't understand the snake people's thought process. Wouldn't it be better to have another Dou Huang-level expert in the clan?

I simply cannot understand the actions of the snake people.

"You intend to take my sister back to the Snake-People? Do you know her current situation?!" Queen Medusa instantly grasped the key point, her expression hardening slightly as she said in a deep voice, "Once you appear in the Snake-People's territory with her, you will be met with their relentless pursuit. This is the order of the Snake-People's four elders, and even I cannot stop them. Moreover, all four of them are Dou Huang-level powerhouses!"

“Everything can be discussed. I have prepared a suitable land for the Snake People to live on. Is that not enough to earn their friendship? As for what happened between Butterfly and the Snake People, we can sit down and talk about it. There is nothing that cannot be resolved.”

Yao Yan spoke very frankly, saying that he did not believe the snake people would not care about their interests. It was a land suitable for survival, something the snake people had always dreamed of.

The snake people simply could not refuse a piece of land suitable for survival.

Queen Medusa refused, saying, "A suitable land for survival is indeed tempting, but the predicament the Serpent People are currently facing cannot be solved by a piece of land. They are surrounded by wolves, and humans are capturing and enslaving the Serpent People at will. The human nations surrounding the Tagor Desert even take pleasure in this... Do you know what this means?"

This means that the Tagor Desert is more suitable for the Snake People to live in!

The harsh climate of the Tagor Desert could deter most humans, and if the Snake People were to venture to a place suitable for survival, they would be met with a series of troubles.

In a fantasy world, strength is the most important thing.

Yao Yan was naturally aware of this, and he also understood what Queen Medusa meant, nodding in agreement: "I had oversimplified things."

There was a pause.

He continued, "However, with my current status as a sixth-grade alchemist, I should be able to earn the respect of the snake-people!"

"??"

Queen Medusa blinked in surprise. At this moment, she didn't even feel annoyed with Yao Yan. Instead, she asked incredulously, "Aren't you a fifth-grade alchemist?"

"It's possible to refine it by chance."

To be honest, with his current level of martial arts skill, Yao Yan could barely refine some auxiliary pills that were only at the initial sixth rank.

Queen Medusa fell silent, staring strangely at the monster before her. Although she didn't understand alchemists, she knew that alchemy cultivation was hundreds of times more difficult than battle qi cultivation. For ordinary alchemists, the time it took to advance from one rank to the next might be several years or even decades. Especially for alchemists of higher ranks, it might be difficult to make any progress in their entire lives. How could anyone be as abnormal as Yao Yan?

A sixth-grade alchemist who is not even seventeen years old is simply heaven-defying!

Yao Yan looked at the silent Queen Medusa and continued to unleash his ultimate move: "If you are willing to do me a favor, I can refine some Fighting Spirit Pills, Imperial Extreme Pills, and even Breaking Sect Pills for the Snake People."

"...You can refine the Breakthrough Pill?!"

Queen Medusa was truly shocked this time; the allure of the Breakthrough Pill to a peak nine-star Dou Huang expert was unimaginable.

Although this pill does not increase strength, it can increase the success rate of a peak Douhuang expert when advancing to Douzong by 10%. It also guarantees that even if the person who takes it fails to advance to Douzong, their strength will remain at the level before the attempt, and their level will not decrease.

Its effects are enough to make any peak Douhuang expert risk their life for it.

"Not at the moment, but after subduing a strange flame, I believe that refining any pill within the sixth grade will no longer be difficult."

Yao Yan's usually calm eyes suddenly lit up with a fiery passion as he spoke in a deep voice.

Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranks low on the list of strange flames, it is still a strange flame. Even the last-ranked strange flame has the ability to make all other flames in the world submit. Its enhancement to alchemists is quite terrifying. Not to mention that Yao Yan has cultivated the Burning Technique. After absorbing the strange flame, he can raise the level of his technique to the advanced Xuan rank, and his strength will inevitably increase dramatically.

At that time, making sixth-grade pills will be absolutely no challenge for Yao Yan.

After all, his alchemy skills have always been ahead of his battle qi cultivation. In the past, what limited him was the level of his internal battle qi. Once this problem is solved, his alchemy skills will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. In fact, as the refinement of the spirit crystal in his soul is completed, his soul realm will be completely stabilized at the Spirit Realm. Before the eighth rank, there will be no bottleneck.

Queen Medusa's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone suddenly softened, carrying a hint of allure: "Do you know the whereabouts of the strange fire?"

"I have a lead, and it's likely in the Tagor Desert. Therefore, I need the help of the Snake People."

Yao Yan spoke ambiguously.

He not only had clues, but he also knew the exact location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. It was born in the depths of the desert near Stone Desert City and was guarded by a two-headed fire spirit snake. Because it was newly born, this strange flame was still very immature and had not yet condensed its spirit. Otherwise, it would not have been taken away by Queen Medusa in the original story in its birthplace.

Queen Medusa gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her alluring face bearing a smile that could bewitch all living beings, charming and captivating: "If that's the case, we can cooperate. As the price for finding the strange fire, you need to refine a sufficient amount of pills for the snake people."

They've even resorted to using their femininity?!

What can a phantom do? He's not a quick-draw gun.

Yao Yan remained unmoved. After all, he had actually possessed it just now. A mere illusion trying to seduce him? Queen Medusa was underestimating him. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "Enough quantity? Your Majesty is dreaming too much. Even if I have a close relationship with Cai Die, I have no obligation to refine a large number of pills for the Snake People. A sixth-grade alchemist doesn't have that kind of cheapness."

There was a pause.

He continued, "Your Majesty would be better off to tone it down, otherwise I'll feel like Your Majesty is deliberately seducing me."

Queen Medusa's expression froze, and her gaze instantly turned cold. She had almost forgotten her true purpose for coming here, focusing only on discussing important matters with Yao Yan, and had almost forgotten about her personal affairs. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curse the little monster in her heart. Who could remain calm in front of a sixth-grade alchemist who was not even seventeen years old?

She scoffed, then launched into a preemptive attack: "Who told you to be so weak-willed? You humans have always been like this..."
