“You… how long are you going to keep holding my hand?”
Just as Xiao Fan was feeling excited and imagining how he would conquer Yan Lin in the future and turn her from a queen into a loving wife, Yan Lin’s voice suddenly sounded, causing him to awkwardly let go.
He immediately changed the topic.
“By the way, may I know Your Majesty’s name? I remember Yan Lin is only the title used by successive queens of the snake people tribe. Calling you Medusa Queen all the time feels a bit distant. Moreover, we are now inside a human Empire. If others hear me calling you Medusa Queen, it may cause unnecessary trouble…”
Yan Lin hesitated for a moment after hearing this and finally spoke her real name, “My name is Yan Lin, the thirty-sixth Yan Lin of the snake people tribe…”
“Yan Lin…” Xiao Fan murmured, “Your name really suits you. Fiery and passionate…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Lin had already walked outside. At the same time, Ling Xing and Ling Yue’s voices sounded from outside.
“Prince Consort, the Princess asked us to bring you breakfast…”
Before they could finish, Yan Lin walked out barefoot and opened the door.
Ling Xing and Ling Yue, who had just entered the courtyard, froze.
A woman?
Such a beautiful woman…
Damn, a beautiful woman came out of the Prince Consort’s side hall!
Did the Prince Consort betray the Princess on their wedding night?!
In that instant, Ling Xing and Ling Yue were first amazed by Yan Lin’s appearance and figure, which were not inferior to Lin Qingyan.
Then this thought emerged.
No wonder Xiao Fan had not come to their bridal chamber last night.
He had been with another woman here!
“W-Who are you?” Ling Xing asked nervously.
Ling Yue was equally tense.
Yan Lin glanced at them indifferently. She then looked around the courtyard, observing the flowers and plants and sensing the spiritual energy in the air.
A complicated and longing expression appeared on her face.
This was the kind of place where the snake people tribe should live.
But for various reasons, her people had been trapped in the Endless Death Desert for thousands of years.
Now that she had broken through to the 1st stage Grandmaster Martial Realm, perhaps she could lead her people out of that desert.
Before she could think further, she suddenly sensed an unusual gaze.
She immediately looked toward the courtyard entrance behind Ling Xing and Ling Yue. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
There stood a woman with equally cold beauty and extraordinary temperament, staring at her with surprise.
“1st stage of the Grandmaster Martial Realm? And this bloodline aura… it seems to be the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python… Could she be the Medusa Queen of this generation from the snake people tribe in the Endless Death Desert?”
With her memories and vision from her previous life, and her Emperor-level soul, Lin Qingyan instantly saw through Yan Lin’s strength and origin.
She was extremely shocked.
Yan Lin was also surprised and cautious as she examined Lin Qingyan.
Based on her life aura and appearance, this woman was only about twenty years old, yet she had reached the 1st stage King Martial Realm.
Such talent could rival the geniuses of great families in Central Province.
But what shocked Yan Lin most was the faint sense of oppression she felt from Lin Qingyan.
It was the oppression of a superior being.
“Who is she?” Yan Lin asked coldly.
Xiao Fan, who had just finished dressing, walked out and replied casually, “She is my wife. We were married yesterday, but due to certain reasons, we are only…”
Before he finished speaking, he subconsciously activated the Eye of Insight.
Lin Qingyan’s information appeared before him.
[Lin Qingyan: Publicly the Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Empire, who reached the King Martial Realm at only twenty years old. But in reality, she has another identity. She is the reincarnation of the Ice Mystic Female Emperor from one hundred years ago…]
“?!”
This woman was actually a reincarnated Female Emperor!
No wonder she had refused to let him touch her on their wedding night.
Xiao Fan’s mind buzzed.
“Only what?” Yan Lin asked coldly.
Xiao Fan quickly replied, “Although we are married, we are only husband and wife in name. There is no real relationship.”
Lin Qingyan frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable.
“Xiao Fan, this is a private matter between us. Is it appropriate to say it in front of outsiders?”
But after saying that, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Pure Yang Sacred Body?
And 9th stage of the Earth Martial Realm cultivation?!
How was this possible?
Xiao Fan had been born with a useless physique and no cultivation.
Yet in one night, he had transformed completely.
Could it be because of Yan Lin?
She immediately denied the thought.
Even if they had dual cultivated, Yan Lin, who was only at the 1st stage Grandmaster Martial Realm, could not cause such a transformation.
There must be another secret.
“Who said she is an outsider?” Xiao Fan suddenly said calmly.
“Yan Lin is my woman. Last night, you told me you would never share a bed with me, and I could find anyone I wanted. Now I have found a suitable partner. I believe you will not go back on your word.”
Yan Lin’s eyes flashed dangerously.
She did not expect Xiao Fan to say this in front of his wife.
But since they had already been intimate, she decided to give him face.
She did not deny it.
Lin Qingyan was left speechless.
It was obvious Xiao Fan was still resentful about last night.
“If she is your woman, she may stay in Tranquil Radiance Prefecture from now on. I do not mind having one more person here. Of course, if you want to give her the status of a concubine, I can arrange a wedding.”
Xiao Fan was surprised.
He had expected anger.
Instead, she accepted it calmly.
As expected of a reincarnated Female Emperor.
At that moment, Yan Lin spoke coldly, “Interesting. You want to give me the status of a concubine. You truly emphasize your position as the main wife. But what if I do not want to be his concubine?”
She looked at Lin Qingyan with dangerous eyes.
For the first time, she felt competitive.
