"Forbidden area? So this is where Mother usually bathes?"
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa paused, then nodded slightly.
"Hmm… you could say that."
"Let's go!"
"Whoosh!"
Before Qi Yan'er could respond, Queen Medusa transformed into a streak of crimson light and shot through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the center of the small island.
The island wasn't very large, covered with lush bamboo groves and flowering plants, radiating vitality and beauty.
They landed in a circular clearing.
Fine, smooth stones were scattered around, and at the very center lay a small pool.
As Qi Yan'er had said earlier, this was indeed where Queen Medusa bathed!
The small pool was filled with crystal-clear water, and a layer of white mist swirled above the surface. At a glance, it was obvious…
A hot spring!
"A hot spring!"
Qi Yan'er's eyes lit up.
"So comfortable to bathe here!"
"Whoosh!"
However, before Qi Yan'er could finish speaking, Queen Medusa's jade arm waved, striking the water surface with a powerful force.
The pool's water was swept away completely—leaving not a single drop!
"Uh…"
Looking at the now empty "pit," Qi Yan'er pouted.
"Mother~ what are you doing?"
"Draining the water."
Queen Medusa said calmly.
"Ah-ha?"
Qi Yan'er was taken aback. In the next moment, Queen Medusa tapped her soul ring, and a large wooden bucket appeared before her.
"Hmm~ huh?"
Qi Yan'er's eyes widened immediately.
A wooden bucket!
It looked very much like the one her father had made for her… also for bathing?
Her gaze fell inside the bucket, and she saw crystal-clear water.
Unlike the previous warm mist, this vapor carried an extreme cold.
"Ice-Spirit Cold Spring! It's Ice-Spirit Cold Spring too!"
Staring at the sparkling water, Qi Yan'er exclaimed,
"Mother! You also use a wooden bucket to carry Ice-Spirit Cold Spring?"
Queen Medusa immediately understood her thought.
"You little girl, don't imagine things. This Ice-Spirit Cold Spring is something I spent years searching for. It has nothing to do with your father."
"Oh~"
Pouting, Qi Yan'er murmured softly.
Her gaze then fell on several more large wooden buckets Queen Medusa had brought out, all filled with the rare Ice-Spirit Cold Spring.
The sheer scale was a bit ridiculous.
"Wow~ so many!"
Qi Yan'er was astonished.
She couldn't imagine that anyone other than her father would have so much Ice-Spirit Cold Spring.
"So Mother, you knew about the Spirit Flame under the desert and had already prepared for it!"
Queen Medusa smiled helplessly.
"If it weren't for you suddenly bringing people here, I would have already brought the Spirit Flame back!"
"Hee-hee-hee~"
Qi Yan'er scratched her head, laughing,
"But if I hadn't come, Mother, you would have been seriously injured!"
"Mm."
Queen Medusa responded, secretly grateful to the little girl.
But asking her to openly express thanks? Impossible!
After pouring all the Ice-Spirit Cold Spring into the small pool, Queen Medusa began forming hand seals.
"I've set the protective seals. Qi Yan'er, you can start preparing."
The seals were to prevent anyone from intruding.
"Okay."
Qi Yan'er obediently nodded.
She then took out the milky-white "candy," and without hesitation, popped it into her mouth.
As she chewed, she murmured,
"Huh? It even tastes… refreshing?"
This small remark caught Queen Medusa's attention.
Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"Qi Yan'er~ your body…"
...
On the city walls of the royal castle.
Yue Mei and Hua She'er stood side by side, eyes scanning the distance as the forces waited on high alert.
The Four Elders, of course, followed the Queen's orders and "kept a low profile" for the time being.
"Little Sister Hua She'er, why hasn't the Queen appeared yet?"
Yue Mei, puzzled, looked at her.
"The Queen is attending to important matters. She will appear once she finishes."
Hua She'er, knowing what the Queen was doing, chose to hide it to prevent Yue Mei from worrying and destabilizing morale.
"Is that so?"
Although it felt odd, Yue Mei didn't overthink.
After all, the Queen was invincible!
"Finally, they've arrived!"
At that moment, the two suddenly looked up and saw a dark figure streaking like lightning toward them.
Seeing this person, both women's faces brightened with joy.
"Yue Mei, Hua She'er, what happened? Three consecutive martial alerts? Are those humans strong?"
The person arriving was a robust male serpent.
He wore a thin, casual garment, his arms covered in strange black tattoos, and a full beard added a domineering, handsome mature vibe.
This was none other than one of the Eight Commanders, self-proclaimed the most handsome of the Serpent Clan: Mok Bas.
Glancing at a male serpent of equal standing in the tribe, Yue Mei sighed softly.
Standing straighter, her curvaceous figure was accentuated as she said lazily but solemnly:
"They are strong!"
"Last night, when I arrived here, I ran into them. I… could only flee in panic. They must be close now!"
"Oh?"
Mok Bas's pupils narrowed, his expression cold:
"Do you know their exact strength?"
"One Dou Huang, three Dou Wangs, five Dou Lings,"
Yue Mei pressed her red lips together, softly saying,
"Mok Bas, it seems our Serpent Clan may be in trouble this time."
"Why have so many strong individuals suddenly gathered?"
Mok Bas's expression darkened as he asked Hua She'er,
"Can we inform the Queen? What did she say?"
"She…"
"Boom!"
Just as Hua She'er was about to speak, a surge of powerful aura spread from the rear of the royal city.
All Serpent Clan members in the city sensed it and knelt, tails coiling:
"Your Majesty!"
"This aura…"
Mok Bas and Hua She'er were shocked.
"This isn't the Queen's aura!"
Yue Mei: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?")
Hua She'er had long served the Queen; sensing the wrong aura made sense.
But Mok Bas… what's going on?
"Little Sister Hua She'er, who is emitting this powerful aura?"
Mok Bas was astonished but immediately turned to Hua She'er for an answer.
"It… it's one of our own."
Hua She'er, trembling, replied.
"Our own?"
Mok Bas clenched his fists, impatient.
"No! I must go see!"
Hua She'er immediately blocked him, shouting fiercely,
"Mok Bas, I will not allow you to disturb the Queen!"
"You can't stop me!"
Mok Bas's eyes flared as the peak Dou Wang power surged from his body.
"Impudent!"
At that moment, a stern, elderly voice rang out, instantly suppressing Mok Bas.
It was the Serpent Clan Grand Elder.
"How dare you intrude into our forbidden area? Mok Bas, do you think I'm dead?"
"Not daring!"
Seeing the Grand Elder, Mok Bas no longer dared resist and bowed deeply.
Once Mok Bas calmed down, the Elder's gaze shifted toward the rear.
In his aged eyes were shock, joy, and lingering fear:
"Terrifying! She… is too terrifying!"
"The one releasing an aura comparable to the Queen… is our Prince!"
Three people: "What?"
A prince? Where did this come from?
