Chapter 95 - 99 – The Butterfly Emerges from Seclusion - Part 2Queen Baby's lips... no matter how many times he kissed them, Chen Mo just couldn't get enough! He kissed her lips, her cheeks, her eyes, and even down to her slender neck— And not once did she push him away. On the contrary, Queen Baby wrapped her arms around him. Chen Mo really was someone with no regard for self-preservation. Queen Medusa's tacit approval only encouraged him to grow bolder. "...Nn~" Queen Medusa's long lashes trembled slightly. BOOM! A deafening explosion suddenly echoed across the skies above the royal palace! A dazzling rose-colored beam of light shot up from the direction of the sacred temple, piercing the heavens. In an instant, half the sky was dyed in that ethereal crimson glow. The void itself trembled faintly. The spectacle of such a grand heavenly phenomenon immediately drew countless snake-people from their homes across the capital. Gazing upon the magnificent sight, all of them dropped to their knees in reverence. Elsewhere, the three great elders of the snake-people tribe exchanged glances before their bodies began to tremble. The First Elder's voice quivered as he muttered, "Was I truly mistaken? Medusa... she's shown her divine will again!" This phenomenon—it was exactly the same as when Her Majesty had inherited the Medusa legacy all those years ago. Unable to contain himself, the First Elder dropped to his knees and bowed respectfully. "The heavens bless our snake-people tribe!" "The heavens bless our snake-people tribe!" the Second and Third Elders echoed in unison, following suit. In the royal bedchamber. Queen Medusa suddenly shoved Chen Mo away with force. She quickly tidied her robes and stepped down from the soft couch. The frigid look on her face and the cold indifference in her eyes—just like when Chen Mo had first met her—returned in full.

Then, in her usual icy tone, she continued, "Die has emerged from her seclusion. You will accompany me to welcome her." Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked toward the door. Chen Mo froze for a second. Then it clicked. Queen Baby was acting like this... all because of Die. And suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. What if one day, while he was getting intimate with Die, Queen Baby walked in? Or worse—what if he was pinning Queen Baby down, and Die barged in? His forehead broke out in cold sweat. That would be a full-blown Shura field! He had imagined these kinds of scenarios when flirting with Queen Baby before, thinking he could handle it. But now that it was becoming a reality... Yeah, no. He was screwed. Panicking, Chen Mo rushed to the dressing table and tidied himself up in the bronze mirror. Once presentable, he quickly caught up. The Snake-People Sacred Temple. An ancient and grand palace. Judging by the weathered and worn marks on the temple's exterior, it had clearly stood for countless years. The snake-people guards stationed outside were dressed differently than the usual soldiers. Their expressions were cold, their postures like statues—unyielding and still. When Chen Mo and Queen Medusa arrived, the eight tribe leaders and the three great elders were already present. None dared to step inside. The temple was not just the tribe's most sacred place—it was also strictly forbidden. Only the reigning Medusa Queen had ever been permitted to enter. Not even the three great elders had that right. When they saw Her Majesty approach, the crowd immediately parted to make way. Chen Mo walked forward with her. Some looked surprised to see him advancing too, but since he hadn't stepped into the temple yet, they said nothing. Thunder and lightning raged above the temple. Queen Medusa stood silently outside, waiting. Apart from the roaring thunder, the entire area was silent. Time passed. Eventually, the thunder quieted, and the rampaging energy settled. Countless eyes turned toward the temple. Moments later— A delicate silhouette slowly emerged from the darkness within. As her figure stepped into the moonlight pouring down from above— Her appearance was finally revealed. Latest novel updates available first at 69Shuba! She was a stunning beauty, enough to make flowers wilt in shame. A hint of enchantment flickered in her eyes. Her skin was flawless and smooth like jade, delicate as porcelain. She wore a crimson, form-fitting short dress that perfectly outlined her alluring and graceful figure. Chen Mo was momentarily stunned. In her features, he saw traces of Queen Medusa. Could this be because she inherited the Medusa legacy? The moment she stepped out, the crowd immediately called out in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness!" Then all dropped to their knees in solemn reverence. "P-Please rise," Die replied with a soft smile, as lovely as a celestial maiden. She had barely adjusted to the change. Not long ago, these very same people had been calling her a traitor. Now they were kneeling before her. "Thank you, Your Highness." Die approached and first greeted Queen Medusa. But when she saw Chen Mo, the longing in her heart overwhelmed her. She couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms. "It's been nearly three months, Chen Mo... I missed you so much," she whispered, hugging him tightly. Only the heavens knew how much she'd yearned for him during her cultivation. [Ding! You have received +2 Affection Coins.

The crowd of snake-people all stared, their expressions filled with shock. Could it be...? Crack— Queen Medusa's jade hand clenched into a fist, the sound of bones cracking ringing clearly through the tense silence. She hadn't forgotten him after all. Queen Medusa's expression turned glacial. [Ding! Affection -1] Danger! Chen Mo broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare push Die away—this was her true feeling. So he forced a stiff smile. "I missed you too..." Crack— Queen Medusa's clenched fist made an even louder sound. Even Yue Mei was sweating for Chen Mo. This guy... actually dared to flirt with Her Majesty's sister right in front of her. Thankfully— Die quickly realized something was wrong. That hug had come from pure excitement and longing. Now seeing her sister upset, she quickly let go of Chen Mo and hugged Queen Medusa instead. In Die's mind, her sister wasn't jealous. She just didn't approve of her relationship with Chen Mo. It must have been because she hugged Chen Mo that her sister got angry. As Die let go, Chen Mo finally exhaled a sigh of relief. But he didn't get to relax for long—because Die tilted her head and asked curiously, "Sister... why does your scent smell a bit like Chen Mo's?" Chen Mo's face turned pale. Queen Medusa's long lashes trembled slightly, but she remained composed. "You must be mistaken," she replied calmly. "Come. We have much to discuss." **** If you want to support me or read advanced Chapters (21+), consider checking out my pat. patr*on.com/Salsita2k
