Chapter 112 Zi Yan's Astounding Words

Deep within the Monster Mountains, in a courtyard.

Queen Medusa leaned against the wooden door with her arms crossed, watching the man carefully wiping a zither. Her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a hint of melancholy.

"I never imagined that the True Lord would have such refined tastes. Which young lady sent this?"

Yang Chen paused slightly in his movements, then carefully put the guqin away and replied without looking up.

“This is one of only two things my mother left behind. Does the Queen still have any questions?”

Queen Medusa felt a slight tremor in her heart upon hearing Yang Chen's cold voice, and a sense of guilt immediately arose within her.

However, as the proud queen of the snake people, Queen Medusa naturally couldn't bring herself to apologize and had to awkwardly change the subject.

"I thought this was a gift from Yunyun to you."

Queen Medusa, with her sharp eyes, had just noticed a small "Yun" character engraved on one end of the guqin. Combined with the information she had received earlier about Yun Yun's private meeting with Yang Chen in the Monster Mountain Range, she had misunderstood the situation.

Yang Chen subconsciously reached out and touched the inscription, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, and he sighed softly.

"This guqin was made by my maternal grandfather at great expense as a gift to my mother. It was named Youhun (幽魂). Later, after my mother met and fell in love with my father, she personally carved the word on it and renamed the guqin Yunhun (云魂)."

As Yang Chen gently placed his hand on it, he could almost feel the deep affection between the two of them, a affection that transcended all difficulties and dangers, and was fearless in the face of life and death.

Queen Medusa looked at Yang Chen with suspicion. Almost no one knew about Yang Chen's past, and Queen Medusa was no exception. All she knew was that Yang Chen came from the Yang family, a newly emerging family in the former Jia Ma Empire.

"What brings Her Majesty the Queen to the Monster Mountain Range? Could it be that she's just here to ask these questions?"

Yang Chen suddenly suppressed his inner sorrow, looked up at Queen Medusa, and his somewhat piercing gaze made Queen Medusa's eyes look flustered, and she almost subconsciously hid to the side.

Queen Medusa made a special trip to the Monster Mountain Range because she felt uneasy after learning about Yun Yun and Yang Chen's secret meeting. She couldn't quite explain what she wanted to do, so she came over.

However, Queen Medusa, who was trying to take the initiative for the first time, was clearly not very clear about her own heart and true thoughts, so she could only stubbornly find a topic to talk about.

"Of course not. Qinglin has been in this royal family for so long and has missed you. It was fine before that you weren't in the Jia Ma Empire, but now that you're here, why don't you go back and see her?"

Mentioning Qinglin, a soft look flashed in Yang Chen's eyes. That cautious and sensitive little girl was truly pitiful. Her father's clan didn't want her, and her mother's clan didn't acknowledge her...

"Tell Qinglin that I will go to the Snake-People's Royal City in another month."

However, just as Yang Chen finished speaking, a voice rang out without warning.

"Father, is that Qinglin my sister?"

Suddenly, a little girl with purple hair and pigtails sat on a stool nearby, holding a large fruit in her hands, juice oozing from her mouth.

Queen Medusa looked at the little girl who had suddenly appeared, her eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

That fleeting fluctuation was absolutely the purest spatial fluctuation, yet it dissipated so quickly—something even a Dou Zong expert would find difficult to achieve.

However, the little girl before her wielded such exquisite spatial power with effortless ease, which was truly astonishing. What puzzled Queen Medusa even more was that she could sense a sense of closeness from this little girl, a feeling somewhat similar to that of Qing Lin, yet quite different.

"Where have you been running off to lately, you silly girl?"

When Yang Chen saw Zi Yan, he glared at the girl with a hint of annoyance.

After Canaan Academy's admissions concluded, Zi Yan did not return to Black Corner Region with them, but instead went to the Monster Mountain Range to find Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, who had been in seclusion and hadn't had time to properly discipline Zi Yan before, has been teaching her ever since she arrived at the Monster Mountain Range.

On one hand, it was to teach Ziyan some worldly things so that she wouldn't be deceived or cause big trouble in the future. On the other hand, it was to teach Ziyan more combat skills.

However, Ziyan is a wild girl. She often sneaks out to play while studying and then doesn't come home all day.

"No, hehe, I just saw that Xiao Yanzi almost got beaten up, hehe!"

A sly smile flashed across Zi Yan's mischievous face. In fact, even if Fa Ma hadn't made a move in the end, Zi Yan would have stepped in and taken Xiao Yan away directly.

However, these words shocked Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa was very confident that even ordinary Dou Zong experts could not escape her perception. The Seven-Colored Devouring Python's talent was extremely powerful.

However, when Queen Medusa blocked Xiao Yan at the cave entrance, she never sensed Zi Yan's presence.

Either Zi Yan's strength far surpasses hers, or Zi Yan is very special, possessing an extremely rare spatial talent, coupled with the sense of closeness emanating from Zi Yan's body...

"She can't be human, right?"

Queen Medusa carefully examined Zi Yan with her beautiful eyes, and of course, the latter was also carefully examining her. The two of them were sizing each other up like this.

"Yes, Zi Yan is of the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and also belongs to the ancient magical beasts."

Yang Chen nodded, not hiding anything. He had a basic level of trust in her, and it would be difficult to hide it from Queen Medusa.

"She is Queen Medusa, the queen of the snake people!"

“I know. I’ve read ancient books. They record that every queen of the snake people is called Queen Medusa. Moreover, Queen Medusa will only be devoted to one man in her life, and she can only have a yin-yang union with her one true love. No one else can have a union with Queen Medusa who has someone she loves.”

Zi Yan's words were startling, and of course, she was right: Queen Medusa would only have, and could only have, one man in her entire life.

It is said that this is a curse on the Medusa bloodline; if a second man touches them, Queen Medusa's body will begin to petrify.

What Zi Yan said next caused Yang Chen's expression to change drastically.

"So, you like my father and want to marry him to become Ziyan's mother?"
