After hearing this, Zi Yan wrinkled her nose slightly, as if she felt that Xiao Ling had some truth in what he said, but she still refused to give in easily. She just snorted and said nothing more.
The two chatted briefly about this topic, but it did not delay their journey. They were still moving very fast, and soon they successfully arrived at the core area of the snake people and came to the sky above the Medusa Temple.
Looking down from above, the Medusa Temple looks particularly solemn and majestic. The entire temple is magnificent, and the main building is built of a kind of white boulders that exude a mysterious luster. The surface of those boulders is smooth, and under the moonlight, they reflect a soft and holy light.
Seeing that they had arrived at the destination, Zi Yan said nothing and immediately flashed and floated straight down. Her movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that she did not want to delay.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed.
A moment later, the two of them appeared steadily at the entrance of the Medusa Temple.
At this moment, there are not only the snakemen guards in charge of guarding here, but also Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin who have been waiting for a long time.
When the snake-men guards saw Xiao Ling and Zi Yan appear, they hurriedly bowed respectfully in unison, their movements fully demonstrating their respect for the two.
However, after seeing Xiao Ling, Xiao Yixiang and Qing Lin both gave him extremely strange looks. There seemed to be blame in their looks, as well as some indescribable complex emotions, which made Xiao Ling's heart suddenly skip a beat.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling's doubts grew even stronger. He could no longer hold back and quickly asked Xiao Yixian, "Xian'er, what's going on? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
In response, Xiao Yixian just waved her hand gently, then raised her finger and pointed at the Medusa Temple. She looked inside the temple in the direction of her finger and said helplessly, "It's hard for me to explain this, but you'll know once you go in."
Seeing Xiao Yixian's response, Xiao Ling had already guessed that this matter must be related to Medusa, so he stopped asking questions and walked straight into the palace.
He hurriedly arrived at the extremely spacious hall. The hall was solemn and dignified, exuding a special sacred atmosphere. And on the main seat, sat a beautiful figure, none other than Medusa. She had a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Even if she just sat there quietly, she had an irresistible charm.
Xiao Ling was about to say something, but before he could utter a word, a cold voice with some complex emotions reached his ears.
"I'm pregnant, the baby is yours."
Chapter 563 I do
"I'm pregnant, the baby is yours."
Hearing the sudden voice, Xiao Ling subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The hall is magnificent, with a towering dome painted with mysterious and intricate patterns. The surrounding pillars are thick and exquisitely carved, and every texture exudes a unique charm.
And on the main seat, there sat a stunningly beautiful figure. It was none other than Medusa, whom Xiao Ling had not seen for some time.
At this moment, Medusa was lying lazily on the throne. Her figure was graceful, like the softest willow branch in spring, swaying in the wind, showing her full charm.
She was wrapped in a gorgeous long skirt, the hem of which was embroidered with mysterious patterns in gold and silver threads. Under the dim light in the hall, it sparkled with a dazzling and hazy luster.
She had an absolutely beautiful face, skin as white as cream, eyebrows as black as distant ink, and a pair of eyes as deep as a pool. At this moment, she was staring at Xiao Ling quietly. Her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, as well as some complex emotions that were difficult to describe.
Any man in the world who sees such a gorgeous scene with such beauty and grace would be instantly attracted to it, unable to look away, and be intoxicated by the dazzling splendor.
However, at this moment, Xiao Ling had no such thoughts at all.
Medusa's previous words "I'm pregnant, the child is yours" were like a surging wave, carrying a huge amount of information, sweeping towards him fiercely, and the impact was really too great.
Xiao Ling was like someone who had been cast under a spell. He froze on the spot. The expression on his face froze instantly and his eyes were filled with shock. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He just stood there in a daze, with Medusa's words echoing in his mind. For a moment, he even thought that he had heard it wrongly.
At this moment, several rhythmic footsteps were heard from inside the palace. Naturally, it was Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan and Qing Lin who had walked back into the hall.
As soon as they came in, they saw Xiao Ling's stunned and shocked look. They subconsciously looked at each other, with helplessness in each other's eyes. Then they shook their heads gently and smiled helplessly.
However, they were actually very curious in their hearts and were looking forward to how Xiao Ling would react next. After all, this matter was really too unexpected. Moreover, Xiao Ling was still so young and he was going to be a father again, which was also an unimaginable thing.
The footsteps of Xiao Yixiang and the others reached Xiao Ling's ears. The sound was like a shock, bringing Xiao Ling back to his senses immediately.
At this moment, his mind seemed to be filled with a storm of thoughts, with all kinds of ideas coming to his mind one after another, but he still forced himself to remain calm, and turned his gaze back to Medusa, meeting her gaze directly.
He tried to put on a casual smile, opened his mouth, and said with a hint of panic that he himself didn't even notice: "Medusa, are you kidding me? You just... suddenly got pregnant?"
At this moment, Xiao Ling couldn't help but think of Zi Yan's previous indignant look, as well as the strange and complicated expressions of Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin when they looked at him, and he suddenly had a general idea in his mind.
If it was any other ordinary matter, even a little tricky, that could make them react like this, Xiao Ling felt that he should be able to guess something and not be so confused.
But if Medusa was pregnant and the child was hers, it would be understandable that they would react like that.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling felt his heartbeat quicken. An unprecedented sense of tension and helplessness surrounded him like a tide, making him a little breathless. However, his eyes were still fixed on Medusa, waiting for her response.
When Medusa heard Xiao Ling's words, she was stunned at first, and then a look of shame and anger appeared on her face.
At first he was also shocked by the news, but after a while, he gradually came back to his senses. Originally, he thought that Xiao Ling would also be shocked to hear the news, and he wanted to see Xiao Ling make a fool of himself. But now seeing him asking this, he had a vague feeling that Xiao Ling did not want to admit it. How could this not make her angry.
She frowned, with a small flame burning in her beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "Xiao Ling, what do you mean by this? Am I, Medusa, the kind of person who would joke about such a thing? Humph, this child is absolutely yours, and you are still asking me about it now. Do you want to be a hands-off boss and not admit your responsibility? Don't you know what you did? I tell you, you must give me an explanation today, otherwise, don't think you can leave this Medusa Temple easily..."
As Medusa said this, she became angrier and angrier. Her pretty face turned red with anger. Her eyebrows raised and she immediately stretched out her hand and waved it lightly to her side.
On an exquisite weapon rack next to the hall, there was a red sword with a sharp edge. It seemed to have sensed Medusa's anger and it flew out of the rack on its own and fell steadily into her hands.
Without hesitation, Medusa swung her hand with all her might, and the sword, with a fierce momentum, flew straight towards Xiao Ling. The sword cut through the air, making a "woohoo" sound, as if it was also venting Medusa's dissatisfaction.
Faced with this sudden attack, Xiao Ling reacted extremely quickly. He immediately mobilized his own mental power and instantly condensed an invisible barrier in front of him.
The sharp sword that Medusa threw angrily seemed to hit an extremely solid wall when it was about to touch Xiao Ling. It was fixed in mid-air and could not move forward at all.
As Xiao Ling's mental power was withdrawn, the sword instantly lost its power. It fell to the ground with a crisp "clang", and the sound echoed in the silent hall.
Xiao Ling, who had come to his senses, waved his hands at Medusa, his face full of anxiety and panic, and explained hastily: "Medusa, I really didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand. It's just that this happened too suddenly, and I really find it hard to believe."
"After all, we didn't spend that much time together, and I got pregnant all of a sudden. I was really surprised, and I just couldn't recover for a while. How could I dare not admit it..."
As he spoke, he looked at Medusa cautiously, his eyes full of flattery and helplessness, for he was afraid that Medusa was still angry and refused to forgive him.
At this moment, under this series of shocks, Xiao Ling finally gradually accepted the fact that Medusa was pregnant with his child. For a moment, his mind was overwhelmed with thoughts and all kinds of complicated emotions flooded into his heart like a tide.
He secretly sighed, thinking that he had lived two lives as a human being. In his previous life, he was mediocre in that ordinary world and had never thought about such things. In this life, he experienced many ups and downs in this fantasy land, but this was the first time he made any progress in breeding offspring.
Although the child has just been conceived, when Xiao Ling thinks that in the near future, a little life carrying the crystallization of his and Medusa's life will be born into this world, an indescribable wonderful feeling surges in his heart, with nervousness and anticipation.
However, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Medusa's "fertility aura" was really good. She got pregnant after just one night of spending time with him. It was really unexpected.
Thinking about the fact that she had interacted with Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin quite a few times, she had never seen such a situation happen. Medusa, on the other hand, "won the bid" so easily this time, it was simply unbelievable.
At this moment, Xiao Ling slowly took steps and came close to Medusa. Under her slightly resentful gaze, Xiao Ling felt a surge of pity in his heart. He stretched out his arms without hesitation and gently embraced Medusa's perfect body.
It is said that pregnant women are the most sensitive and emotional. They must be comforted well at this time. If there is any mistake, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Although Xiao Ling had never experienced such a thing before, he often heard some elders talking about related situations on weekdays. He naturally knew in his heart that he must give a clear attitude in front of Medusa, follow her wishes in everything, and never let her think too much.
After Xiao Ling's patient explanation, Medusa's expression, which was originally full of anger and resentment, slowly relaxed a lot, and a slight warmth rose in her heart.
However, she and Xiao Ling were not the only ones in the hall at the moment. Zi Yan and the other three were watching them nearby. If it happened in private, she would not mind such intimate behavior, but there were other people watching now.
Medusa was originally cold and aloof, so in this situation, she couldn't help but show a hint of shame on her face. She immediately stretched out her hands, gently pushed Xiao Ling's chest, and pretended to be disgusted, saying: "Humph, that's enough, why don't you let go quickly? Zi Yan and the others are still watching us, you have no shame, you only know how to take advantage of me..."
Although she said this, the previous anger was gone in her eyes. Instead, there was a barely perceptible coquettishness. Anyone could see that she was just being stubborn with words, and in her heart, she was not really annoyed by Xiao Ling's intimate behavior.
After hearing what Medusa said, Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and then slowly loosened his arms that were hugging Medusa.
However, he still stretched out a hand and gently held Medusa's hand, unwilling to let go.
Then, he looked up at Medusa, his eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "So, when did you find out you were pregnant?"
Medusa lowered her eyes slightly, recalled for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Just a few days ago, I always felt a little uncomfortable. At first I didn't take it seriously, but the discomfort has not subsided. Just now I asked the Little Medical Fairy to help check it out, and then I found out that I was pregnant. Counting carefully, it has been more than a month now."
Medusa bit her lower lip slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued, "To be honest, I didn't expect to get pregnant so suddenly. It was really beyond my expectations. It all came too suddenly. When I learned the news, I was stunned for a moment. Even I was a little unsure about how to plan for the future."
Xiao Ling had slowly recovered from the shock of the news. He walked to Medusa's spacious throne, sat down gently, and then stretched out his hand, carefully allowing Medusa's delicate body to lean on him.
Then, Xiao Ling looked at Medusa, his eyes full of tenderness and concern, and asked softly:
"Then what do you think? I remember you mentioned to me before that the pregnancy period of your snake people is much longer than that of us humans. Although I am a human, since you are pregnant, I think the pregnancy period should also be calculated according to your snake people's period, which is about three years. How do you plan to arrange these nearly three years?"
Medusa frowned slightly when she heard Xiao Ling's question, as if she was lost in thought. After a moment, she slowly spoke:
"As for the noon talk, I haven't thought it through. I originally planned to go back to the Snake People to visit them and then continue to go to Zhongzhou with you, but now I suddenly know that I am pregnant. Now I don't know what to do."
She sighed softly, her hand unconsciously touching her belly, a trace of worry in her eyes, and then said: "When you are pregnant, you have to be careful about everything. If you are not careful and the child is hurt, I will not be able to accept it."
While saying this, Medusa had been looking at Xiao Ling quietly, with some expectation and a little dependence in her eyes. She also wanted to hear what Xiao Ling would say.
After all, she is now Xiao Ling's woman, and the child in her belly is the fruit of her and Xiao Ling's love. Many matters in the future naturally need to be discussed between the two of them.
However, Xiao Ling couldn't give a good suggestion for this situation. He frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and then slowly said:
"It's hard for me to make a decision on this matter right now. After all, this concerns you and the child. The most important thing is to see what you think. However, now that the situation has developed to this point, some things should be handled with dignity."
When Medusa heard Xiao Ling's words, she was slightly stunned, her eyes full of surprise, and she immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ling looked at her slightly surprised expression, a serious look appeared on his face, and he quickly said:
"I don't mean anything else, it's just... it's just, are you willing to marry me? Think about it, if your people in the snake tribe knew that their queen was pregnant, but they didn't even know who the father of the child was, they would definitely curse me severely..."
When Medusa saw Xiao Ling's slightly embarrassed look, she was stunned at first, and then a smile from the heart appeared involuntarily on the corner of her mouth. That smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling the many entanglements and anxieties that had lingered in her heart before.
She nodded gently, then slowly leaned her head on Xiao Ling's shoulder, and said softly but firmly: "I do."
Chapter 565 Leisure and daily life
In the following days, Xiao Ling's life gradually returned to stability.
Previously, he had planned to bid farewell to the Gama Empire as soon as possible, return to Zhongzhou, and let Zi Yan return to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. However, Medusa's pregnancy delayed the return plan, forcing everything to be put on hold.
The days became leisurely and comfortable, and Xiao Ling would often accompany several women around him, strolling in the streets and alleys of the Gama Empire.
For several people, this was a relaxing time that they hadn't had in a long time.
Among these women, the one Xiao Ling has spent the longest time with is Medusa, who is now pregnant.
After all, there was a brand new life growing in her belly, which was the fruit of their love.
Xiao Ling watched her changes day by day. Her originally cold and elegant temperament now had a bit of maternal kindness. His heart was full of pity and expectation. He took care of her meticulously and was cautious in everything, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
In this regard, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin not only had no complaints, but expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts.
They knew very well that Medusa was in a special period at the moment and needed more company and care from Xiao Ling. This was human nature.
Moreover, they also secretly thought that if they became pregnant in the future, Xiao Ling would naturally take good care of them and would not do anything unreasonable.
In the inner area of the Temple of Medusa, there is a quiet island in the center of the picturesque lake.
The island is covered with green grass and colorful flowers. The flowers sway gently in the breeze, as if whispering. In a pavilion on the island, a warm atmosphere is even more pervasive.
Xiao Ling hugged Medusa gently, and Medusa leaned in Xiao Ling's arms like a little bird, her head lightly resting on Xiao Ling's shoulder, and the two of them quietly enjoyed this quiet and beautiful time.
Medusa raised her head slightly, her eyes full of tenderness. Her usual cold and majestic demeanor had long since disappeared. She opened her red lips and said softly, "I have already taken the pill you gave me to nourish the fetus. The effect of the pill is really extraordinary. Not only has it made the fetus in my belly more stable, but it has also improved my cultivation. However, the medicinal power has not yet been fully refined. I think that after the medicinal power is fully refined in the future, it should continue to help my cultivation during this period of time."
When Xiao Ling heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He gently touched Medusa's hair and said with a smile:
"It's great that this pill can bring you other benefits. Its value is not wasted. I got this pill by chance. At that time, I just thought it would be good for the fetus. It's just right for you to take it now. I didn't expect the effect to be so strong. It also improved your cultivation. It's a pleasant surprise."
