A seductive and charming voice, like alluring poison, suddenly came from the palace entrance.
Everyone paused slightly, then looked up.
They saw a figure dressed in a luxurious purple brocade robe, with a graceful and voluptuous figure, like a ripe peach, standing at the palace entrance.
Such a captivating beauty, throughout the Snake-People Race's holy city, who could it be besides Queen Medusa?
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Qing Lin immediately stood up and greeted Queen Medusa upon seeing her.
"Sister Medusa, you're here too!"
Medusa slowly walked into the palace, dragging a section of her snake tail from beneath her purple brocade robe.
After nodding slightly to the three girls, she turned her gaze towards Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor.
She couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from them; they looked just like two ordinary people.
However, Queen Medusa didn't believe that two people who could appear so silently and without a trace in the Snake-People Race's holy city were just ordinary people.
Under these circumstances, if she couldn't discern their true strength, it could only mean one thing.
The strength of these two individuals was absolutely unfathomable, far exceeding the realm she could perceive.
After entering the main hall, Queen Medusa approached everyone and smiled slightly, "Sister Dugu, aren't you going to introduce these two to me?"
"Oh, oh, Sister Medusa is right!"
Dugu Yan reacted upon hearing this, then continued to introduce, "Sister Medusa, this is Qi Lin, whom Lingling and I often mention. As for the other one, she is Little Fairy Doctor, and she is also our sister, Lingling and mine."
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's explanation, Queen Medusa immediately understood the meaning of "sister" in her words.
And their shared man was obviously Qi Lin!
Thinking of this, Queen Medusa's gaze towards Qi Lin immediately held a hint of curiosity.
Because Queen Medusa was very puzzled; she couldn't even discern Qi Lin's strength, which meant Qi Lin had at least the strength of a Dou Zong or higher.
Given that, it was understandable that he could win the hearts of both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
But Little Fairy Doctor was different; since her strength was also so formidable, how could she tolerate Qi Lin's philandering?
As a strong practitioner, did she have no pride at all?
She was actually willing to share a man with other women.
"I am the current Queen of the Snake-People Race. You two may call me Medusa."
"Since you two are friends of Sister Dugu and Sister Lingling, then you are honored guests of my Snake-People Race. On behalf of the entire Snake-People Race, I welcome you both."
If only two ordinary Dou Ling or even Dou Wang practitioners were standing here.
Even if they were good friends of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Queen Medusa would never be so polite.
But Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor's strength was too unfathomable, which is why Queen Medusa decided to befriend them and forge a good relationship.
Because Queen Medusa had already decided to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to break through to Dou Zong.
However, using a Heavenly Flame to break through to Dou Zong carried immense risks; one wrong move could lead to complete annihilation and eternal damnation.
And what Queen Medusa was most concerned about now was the Snake-People Race.
What if she died and the Snake-People Race had no new Queen?
That's why Queen Medusa wanted to use this opportunity to befriend two strong practitioners and forge a good relationship.
This way, even if her future breakthrough to Dou Zong failed, with this connection, the Snake-People Race wouldn't necessarily thrive, but they certainly wouldn't face a catastrophic disaster.
"In that case, we will be imposing on you for the coming days."
Qi Lin casually cupped his hands.
While Queen Medusa was sizing him and Little Fairy Doctor up, he was also sizing up Medusa.
In terms of appearance, Medusa could be described as enchantingly beautiful, with slightly long, light purple eyes that, when they shifted, exuded natural Charm.
Even Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Little Fairy Doctor, whose appearances had slightly improved after taking pills, still couldn't confidently claim to surpass Queen Medusa.
Meeting Qi Lin's gaze, Queen Medusa smiled calmly and said, "Since this is your first time in my Snake-People Race's holy city, please move to the main hall so I can fulfill my duties as host."
Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged glances and nodded with a smile.
"It would be disrespectful to decline!"
Seeing this, Queen Medusa's smile was radiant, and she gestured with her delicate hand.
"Everyone, please!"
The Snake-People Race's main hall was not as luxurious as the Jia Ma Imperial Palace, nor as grand as the Yunlan Sect's main hall, but it was distinguished by its simplicity and solemnity.
Inside the main hall, tall pillars were carved with various snake-shaped magical beasts, appearing lifelike, as if Binding themselves around the pillars.
On the four stone walls of the main hall, various murals were depicted, their content seemingly related to the origin of the Snake-People Race, depicting the journey of the first generation of the Snake-People Race migrating to the Tagor Desert.
Upon arriving at the Snake-People Race's main hall, Medusa immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared and also sent people to invite the four peak Dou Huang Elders of the Snake-People Race, to show her respect for Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor.
Although Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had become acquainted with Queen Medusa through a conflict and had a good relationship, they had never received such treatment.
Nothing else, this was the convenience brought by strength.
Soon, the four Elders were invited into the main hall.
Although the messenger had not revealed the identities or strengths of the two guests, the four Elders were old and cunning. Knowing the Queen's character, they immediately guessed that the guests' identities and strengths were extraordinary.
Otherwise, with the Queen's pride, she would never be so solemn.
As expected, after the four Elders entered the main hall, they immediately looked at Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor based on their seating arrangement.
At first glance, the two looked like ordinary people, with no aura detectable from them.
But it was precisely this that made the four Elders instantly understand the reason for Queen Medusa's solemnity.
One must know that with the strength of the four of them, even an ordinary Dou Zong practitioner could not perfectly conceal their aura in front of them.
This alone was enough to explain everything!
Afterward, Queen Medusa solemnly introduced Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor to the four Elders.
At the banquet, music played, and several Snake-People Race dancers, dressed in vibrant dance costumes, gracefully danced in the center of the hall, performing the distinctive dances of the Snake-People Race.
Everyone watched with great interest.
The four Elders of the Snake-People Race, however, were not focused on enjoying the dance. Instead, their gazes lingered on Qi Lin and Queen Medusa for a moment, then the four exchanged glances, communicating with their eyes.
Speaking of which, ever since the Queen ascended to the throne of the Snake-People Race, she had been diligent in protecting the Snake-People Race all these years, yet she had not left behind a single heir.
How could this be allowed?
Moreover, with the Queen's talent, if she could give birth to an heir, it would undoubtedly be a Dou Zong seed, and one day it would surely lead the Snake-People Race to glory once more.
It seems that this matter still needs to be urged upon the Queen.
And now, there just happens to be an ideal candidate for the Queen's consort!
