Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Queen Medusa landed gracefully in the imperial palace, and upon seeing the scene before her, she was completely dumbfounded.
One Great Grandmaster, nine Grandmasters, hundreds of Innates, and tens of thousands of acquired experts
And there sat the Emperor, looking straight at her without shifting his gaze.
Wasnt this welcome a bit too grand?
Queen Medusa was somewhat flattered.
But the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, leaving her at a loss for words for a moment.
At this time, Yaoyao and the others were staring at Queen Medusa.
Many men showed a look of infatuation, for she was indeed as stunningly beautiful as the rumors described.
Moreover, she showed no sign of fear despite being surrounded by so many people. Her strength was undoubtedly extraordinary, and its probably true shes a Great Grandmaster.
The Master Painter whispered: Her presence is imposing, it even makes me feel threatened. She is definitely a Great Grandmaster!
Yaoyaos heart tightened: As expected, just as terrifying as the rumors say, she has the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster! But its still unclear what her intentions are, whether shes friend or foe! Master Painter, please make the first move if she shows any hostility!
Song Yufei added: Fight her with the divine sword; dont give her a chance to breathe!
The Master Painter nodded slightly: I understand!
At that moment, Queen Medusa took graceful steps forward, walking towards Lin Beifan.
Yaoyao became anxious: Shes coming! What does she want to do?
Song Yufei was also very nervous: How would I know! This womans background is mysterious, and like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail, even our Taoist Sect has used all its strength and still cant find out her origins. We dont even know her name!
I know her name Lin Beifan began to speak.
Your Majesty, its not the time for jokes!
Well be grateful if you just keep quiet!
Lin Beifan: .
As the only Great Grandmaster currently at court, Master Painter felt he should say something, You
However, just at that moment, Queen Medusa stopped 50 zhang from Lin Beifan, bowed deeply, and respectfully said, Medusa pays her respects to Your Majesty!
Lin Beifan gestured with his hand: Dispense with the formalities!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Queen Medusa raised her head and continued: I have finished my personal affairs and have come back to serve Your Majesty!
Lin Beifan nodded: Hmm, good. Now, I hereby officially appoint you as a protector of Great Xia, equal in rank to Master Painter, and you shall only follow my commands!
After traveling around this world, Queen Medusa had come to understand the status of a countrys protector.
So, she happily accepted the decree: Thank you, Your Majesty!
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Huh? That terrifying woman is actually listening to His Majesty?
And shes become a protector for our Great Xia?
Our Great Xia now has a Great Grandmaster?
Is this even real? Am I dreaming?
The terrifying woman they had been fully prepared to confront had, in the blink of an eye, become a protector for their Great Xia?
It all seemed like a fairy tale, too surreal to accept.
They turned their heads in bewilderment, looking at Lin Beifan while hoping for a reasonable explanation.
Lin Beifan helplessly said, Ive said it before. Shes one of my people!
But how did she just become yours? How did you win her over? Yaoyao was so agitated she was nearly exploding.
Although the others remained silent, they were just as agitated as Yaoyao.
What else could it be but my personal charisma? Lin Beifan said with a touch of arrogance.
Charisma my foot! Yaoyao muttered to herself, completely unconvinced that her man had tamed that woman with charm alone.
There must be some unspeakable secret.
Now that theres nothing else, everyone may leave, Lin Beifan gestured with his hand.
Yes, Your Majesty! the crowd responded to the decree.
Although they were very curious about how His Majesty had won over the terrifying woman, the Emperor had given the order to disperse, so they had to leave for now and inquire later.
Queen Medusa followed Lin Beifan and the others into the palace.
Lin Beifan smiled and introduced her to the few present: Let me introduce her to all of you. This is Medusa, not only a Great Grandmaster in strength but also a queen. You may address her as Queen Medusa!
Queen Medusa? Sister, are you the queen of some country? But why have I never heard of you before? Yaoyao blinked her large, dark eyes, her voice sweet with curiosity.
Your Majesty, she is Queen Medusa looked towards Lin Beifan
Lin Beifan smiled and said, This is my beloved consort Yao, who is also the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect!
Queen Medusas gaze changed instantly, and she bowed respectfully, saying, So its the esteemed Consort Yao, my respects to you. May you be as auspicious and fortunate as the heavens!
Yaoyao, flattered, replied, Sister, theres no need for such formality! Im just an ordinary woman. I cant accept such a grand gesture!
A Great Grandmaster was a top-tier powerhouse on the same level as her own Grand-Master!
She couldnt bear receiving such a gesture from such a senior figure!
If her Grand-Master and master found out, she would definitely be scolded to death!
Queen Medusa said seriously, Consort Yao, do not belittle yourself! You are the Emperors beloved consort, your status is very noble. There are few in under the heavens who can match your standing. Receiving such honors is completely appropriate!
Please, Sister Medusa, dont be like this Yaoyao felt very uneasy.
Lin Beifan waved his hand, Enough, lets not bother with these formalities. Just address each other as sisters.
And so, the two women dispensed with the formalities.
Sister Medusa, can you answer my earlier question? Yaoyao asked again.
Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Beifan and said, I am the queen of a tribe, and I have always lived in the deep seldom-visited secluded forests, which is why the outside world does not know of me.
Oh, I see! Yaoyao exclaimed, seemingly enlightened, though it was unclear whether she truly believed it or not.
So, how did you and His Majesty meet?
This question was crucial, and everyone who was still around perked up their ears to listen intently.
Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Beifan again and said, I met His Majesty a long time ago! At that time, His Majesty saved my life and promised to protect my people, so I decided to pledge my loyalty to him!
I see! Yaoyao had another moment of realization.
But she leaned into Lin Beifans ear and whispered, Is that really the case?
Lin Beifan gave Yaoyao a look: What else do you think it could be?
Yaoyao spoke softly, I feel like theres more than friendship between you two. Otherwise, why would such a beautiful and strong woman be willing to serve you?
Queen Medusa awkwardly adjusted her hair by her ears.
Her earlobes had turned red.
