Chapter 17: Impudence, I Am the Queen!

Chapter 17: Impudence, I Am the Queen!

The three elders of the Snake People immediately objected to the idea of making Hai Bodong a slave without even thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Hai Bodong, as the Ice Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, has killed many of our strongest. Now is the perfect time to kill him. How can we possibly help him break his seal?" said the elder on the left.

Medusa looked at these three so called immortals. Although they hadn't interfered much in recent years, they were still stubborn and often overstepped their bounds, even though they really had no right to decide anything.

"Second Elder, are you suggesting that your queen should break her word?" Medusa's eyes narrowed as she spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, dealing with humans does not constitute breaking one's word. It's called being shrewd," the elder on the right said in a raspy voice.

Queen Medusa, sitting on her throne, flashed a cold glance, "Third Elder, are you trying to tell me how to rule?"

The Third Elder quickly lowered his head, saying, "I wouldn't dare!"

Though the Third Elder backed down, the Head Elder, who was holding a small walking stick and exuding the dignity that befitted his status, did not. "Your Majesty, you must not keep Hai Bodong within the Snake People. It goes against our clan's laws!" His voice was loud and deep, commanding respect.

"Clan laws?" Medusa's lips curved into a seductive smile. "Then I declare that from today, that law no longer exists!"

The Head Elder thumped his staff on the ground, pointing at Medusa as he scolded, "Impudence! Do you realize that this law cannot be abolished? This law has existed since the founding of the Snake People. To destroy it is akin to rebellion! Are you trying to rebel?"

"You are being impudent. I am the queen!" Medusa's rebuke was followed by a powerful aura emanating from her, along with a terrifying pressure. This energy made everyone in the great hall shudder.

This overwhelming presence shocked everyone present, including the three elders, who all knelt down, their heads bowed in respect.

Despite their status as venerable figures, they were not about to give up easily and collectively tried to persuade her again, "Your Majesty, this law must not be abolished! It has been passed down by our ancestors!"

Queen Medusa stood from her throne, her gaze sharp as she scolded the elders, "I am not discussing this with you. This is a command!"

Wu Tian, watching this display of Medusa's authority, was utterly enamored.

This was the perfect time to teach these three meddlers a lesson. Now was also the right moment for him to step forward. He burst forth from Medusa's body.

Wu Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his face, looking at the three masked elders, "You three little ones, are you seeking death?"

Wu Tian's words made everyone who had been bowing their heads hastily look up at him.

When they saw Wu Tian, they were startled. Who was this person dressed in the queen's attire, and why had they not felt his presence at all?

Ah, Wu Tian thought, there's no helping it. Medusa never takes me to men's clothing stores, nor does she let me contact men, so I am still wearing her clothes.

Mobas, upon seeing a man dressed in Medusa's clothes, was utterly confused. What was happening? Did the queen have a man? A human man?

I get it, he thought, this clan rule must have been abolished for the queen herself! My goddess has been tainted?

The three elders, focusing on Wu Tian, pointed at him and then at Medusa. Although they were too agitated to speak, their meaning was clear.

Seeing the excited elders and the tribal leaders below ready to act against him, Wu Tian shook his head in resignation, then looked at Medusa, and both shared a sweet smile.

Regardless of whether it was truly sweet, in the eyes of the onlookers, that smile was indeed very sweet.

Wu Tian stood beside Queen Medusa, smiling, "Yes, I am exactly who you think I am. I am Queen Medusa's man and the guardian spirit of the Snake People from generation to generation. I am a spirit being, your ancestral spirit!"

"..." The sudden revelation of an ancestral spirit was a bit much for everyone to take in, but since Queen Medusa did not object, it must be true.

The three elders, called little ones, couldn't accept this. They had always been the ones to call others little ones. How could they accept such a sudden ancestral figure?

"Impossible, there is no mention of a guardian spirit in the records of the Snake People. Who are you really?" the Head Elder demanded.

Medusa's eyes glittered as she rebuked, "Impudence, Head Elder, are you attempting a revolt? The guardian spirit appeared from my twin heart pendant. How dare you question that?"

The Head Elder twitched his mouth, thinking, If only you had told me sooner instead of scolding me again! My old face is completely lost today.

As the onlookers still looked doubtful, Wu Tian released his Douhuang peak level soul power, once again stunning everyone in the hall.

Douhuang peak!!!

"Salutations to the Guardian Spirit!" Before, they might have had their doubts, but this display of absolute power made them kneel.

After all, no Douhuang at the peak of his power would bother coming to their vast desert to play ancestral spirit for a scam. Wouldn't it be more lucrative to do so in an empire?

"Ah, I've only recovered a bit of my strength, and I'm not used to it yet! You may rise," Wu Tian sighed, shaking his head resignedly.

"..." A bit? A BIT?

Mobas felt utterly defeated: It's over! No chance now!

Wu Tian looked at the three elders and said flatly, "Little ones, do you still object to the queen abolishing the clan rule?"

What objection could they have? Their ancestral spirit was right there! How could they not abide by whatever he decreed?

The three elders shook their heads like rattles, quickly responding in fear, "No, no, certainly not!"

Queen Medusa, sitting regally on her throne, declared, "From today, the Guardian Spirit's word is equal to mine. His commands are my commands!"

"Captain Hua She, take Hai Bodong and guard him strictly. Make sure no word leaks out. He is now your responsibility. Besides introducing the Guardian Spirit, I have called you here to announce something major!"
