Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

The Holy City of the Serpent People

This magnificent city, nestled deep in the Tagor Desert, is constructed from massive rocks and sand!

Today, however, the arrival of an uninvited guest has stirred up ripples beneath the calm surface of the water...

At the center of the ripples was their supreme queen and the unidentified human boy beside her.

Queen Medusa's face was frosty, as if she were oblivious to everything around her.

She swayed her alluring yet dangerous purple snake tail as she walked gracefully through the palace's wide corridors.

Half a step behind Queen Medusa was Xiao Qing, whose expression remained calm.

The snake-woman guards they encountered along the way all bowed respectfully, their heads lowered, to show their absolute respect for the queen.

However, after Queen Medusa's graceful figure passed by.

A barrage of gazes, filled with suppressed curiosity, astonishment, and even ambiguity, focused on the human boy like searchlights.

After the Queen had gone far away, the soft whispers, like the chirping of insects, began to spread uncontrollably among the pillars and outside the palace doors.

"Look! Aren't those the humans Her Majesty the Queen brought back?"

"He's quite handsome, better looking than many of our tribe's warriors!"

A relatively young snake-woman guard was first drawn to Xiao Qing's delicate and outstanding appearance.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! But... judging from his slender build and seemingly young age, can he really... really withstand Her Majesty's... um... torment?"

Another, slightly older, alluring snake-woman guard lowered her voice, two blushes rising on her cheeks, her tone filled with unspoken fantasies.

In the mindset of the snake-people, powerful members of the tribe have the absolute right to choose their partners!

This generation of Medusa Queen is completely different. Only those who are stronger than her and can defeat her have the opportunity to become her other half!

The meaning behind Her Majesty bringing back a human male is self-evident!

Either this human is incredibly powerful and has defeated Her Majesty the Queen, or Her Majesty the Queen is looking for a man and has taken a liking to this human boy, so she has abducted him!

"Oh dear, what are you saying! But... Her Majesty has been so celibate for so many years, and now she finally... hehe."

How could these whispers, filled with curiosity and erotic speculation, escape the keen perception of Queen Medusa, a peak-level Douhuang?

Queen Medusa's delicate ear twitched slightly, and an uncontrollable faint blush rose on her exquisite profile, like white jade dyed with rosy clouds, adding to her beauty.

She couldn't help but recall that scene from before...

The sensation of that warm palm pressing on my lower abdomen, and that heart-pounding yet helpless feeling.

She felt a surge of frustration, but was restrained by the Queen's majesty and her complicated "agreement" with Xiao Qing.

I could only suppress the urge to scold him and pretend I hadn't heard him, but my walking speed unconsciously increased a bit.

Following behind Queen Medusa, Xiao Qing, whose soul realm had reached the Spirit Realm, naturally heard every word of these discussions.

Xiao Qing's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and she felt nothing but helplessness.

What do you mean he can't withstand any more hardship?

These snake women have such vivid imaginations!

Xiao Qing kept his eyes straight ahead, as if everything around him was irrelevant, and simply followed Queen Medusa silently.

He secretly memorized the layout of this exotic snake-man's palace.

After passing through layers of heavily guarded palaces and corridors, the two finally arrived at a more secluded and ornately decorated palace complex.

The atmosphere here was noticeably more somber, with a faint, pleasant fragrance permeating the air; it was clearly the area of ​​Queen Medusa's palace.

At the entrance to the palace, a slender and graceful figure was already standing and waiting.

It was none other than Flower Snake, the captain of the Snake-People's personal guard!

A day earlier, Her Majesty the Queen had left in haste, her demeanor carrying an unprecedented solemnity that deeply worried her.

Upon sensing the Queen's return, Flower Snake immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply, and spoke with absolute loyalty and a hint of concern: "Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

"Um."

A clear, cool, and slightly languid nasal sound rang out, serving as a response.

Queen Medusa's gaze fell on the flower snake, her tone regaining its usual majesty and unquestionable tone:

"Flower Snake, take this gentleman to the west side hall to rest... Remember, from this moment on, any order given to him shall be regarded as my command!"

"There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Flower Snake subconsciously obeyed the order, however, when she raised her head...

When Flower Snake's gaze passed over Queen Medusa and she finally saw the appearance of the "gentleman" behind her, her words came to an abrupt halt.

Her sharp, serpentine eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief and horror, and she almost blurted out:

"Human...human beings?!"

Hua She'er stared intently at Xiao Qing, her mind completely blank.

Her Majesty the Queen brought a human back?

They even entered the most heavily guarded core area of ​​the royal palace?

They even granted such high levels of authority?

This is absolutely unprecedented!

Countless questions exploded in her mind like bubbles.

"Um?"

Queen Medusa furrowed her beautiful eyebrows slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her narrow purple eyes.

Hua She'er's loss of composure was undoubtedly a challenge to her authority.

Feeling the chill in Her Majesty the Queen's gaze, Flower Snake shuddered.

She snapped out of her shock instantly, quickly lowered her head again, and said in a slightly fearful voice, "Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"

The Queen's orders are absolute; no matter how many doubts or anxieties she may have, she must obey them unconditionally.

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Hua She'er stood up and gestured for Xiao Qing to enter.

He tried to keep his tone calm, but the complexity and scrutiny in his eyes were hard to completely hide: "Sir, please come with me."

Xiao Qing glanced at Hua She'er indifferently, taking in the wariness, curiosity, and the barely perceptible... ambiguity in her eyes, but said nothing, simply nodding calmly: "Thank you for your trouble."

Queen Medusa then turned to Xiao Qing, her tone less commanding and more complex than when she spoke to Flower Snake, even carrying a hint of barely suppressed anger:

"You should go with my guards to the side hall to rest for the night. Tomorrow... I will discuss the follow-up matters with you in detail!"

"I... also need some time to recover."

Queen Medusa specifically emphasized the words "recovered state," clearly indicating that she was still troubled by the wound in her abdomen that, although the meaning of annihilation had been cleared away, still ached faintly.

All of this is thanks to this seemingly harmless boy in front of us!

"it is good."

Xiao Qing seemed oblivious to the resentment in Queen Medusa's words, and simply nodded again.

Having said that, he followed the tense-looking Flower Snake toward the side hall on the west side.

Watching Xiao Qing's departing figure, Queen Medusa's purple eyes gleamed.

In the end, it turned into a barely audible sigh, and she turned and entered her own luxurious bedroom.

She really needs to heal her wounds as soon as possible and think carefully about how to deal with this human boy who has forcibly entered her life and brought great changes to her and the entire snake-people race.
