Chapter 21: Teleported onto My Wife?!
In the script, he had infiltrated the palace alone, without Yun Xiu. Focused on following the script and completing the mission, he had completely forgotten about her!
Three days had passed, and he hadn’t contacted her. She might barge into the palace!
Normally, she would be here to assist the Water City, even participating in the battle against the Crimson Sand Scorpion King. If she trespassed into the palace and clashed with the Serpent Queen, it would be disastrous.
And if his “first love” and his future wife fought each other, he wouldn’t know whose side to take.
“…Master, I just remembered something. I have to go.”
Without waiting for her response, he activated his Star Shifting Fire Seal, teleporting out.
…
He had hidden the crystal pendant in the Sacred Spring. Logically, he should reappear there. However, he found himself in a spacious hall, sitting comfortably on a soft… chair.
Or rather, the “chair”—the throne—was occupied by the Serpent Queen, and he was straddling her lap, their position almost identical to his earlier dual cultivation posture with his Beautiful Sect Master, just reversed.
His weight pressed against her, flattening her ample bosom, their faces inches apart, their breaths mingling.
She was stunned, her mind blanking, and he was also dumbfounded, a cold sweat breaking out.
— Holy crap! I teleported onto the Serpent Queen?! I’m screwed!
““Your Majesty!””
The ministers, who had been discussing the Sand Scorpion threat, were shocked.
A bright light had suddenly flashed from the Serpent Queen’s chest, then this young man had appeared, sitting on her lap in such an indecent position! How outrageous!
Although they didn’t know who he was, a mere Mystic Scholar, daring to disrespect their ruler… he had to be punished!
“Insolent thief! Get off Her Majesty!”
“Seize him!”
The Serpent Queen had eight Serpent Generals under her command. The last four guarded the four fortresses, all at the Ninth Star Mystic King realm, while the first four guarded the four districts of the Water City, all Mystic Lords.
The four Mystic Lord Serpent Generals activated their Mystic Power, their auras locking onto him. Any suspicious move from him would result in a swift and decisive attack.
At the same time, the Serpent Queen’s personal guards and the palace guards also appeared, their combined killing intent pressing down on him.
Although he possessed both the Emperor Flame Technique and the Ancestral Talisman Scripture, he couldn’t withstand the pressure from so many experts, especially with a powerful Serpent Queen, capable of challenging even Mystic Sovereigns, right in front of him!
— What kind of hellish situation is this? Is this special treatment for the protagonist? Why not just teleport me directly to the Demonic Consort and let her crush me with a finger?
His mind raced. He decided to return to the crystal space immediately!
However, the Serpent Queen was faster. Her hand, emerging from her scale-patterned sleeve, grabbed his right wrist, precisely cutting off his Mystic Power flow, preventing him from activating the Star Shifting Fire Seal.
He was stunned. She had used this trick again!
— How did she know he used the Star Shifting Fire Seal on his right hand? Even a Ninth Star Mystic Lord shouldn’t be this perceptive! Was this even possible?!
He looked at her beautiful, yet indifferent face, swallowing nervously, his heart sinking.
Seeing his fear, she smirked, her hand moving from his wrist to his face, caressing his cheek.
“What’s wrong? Not running anymore?”
He thought that since he had healed her injuries, she wouldn’t kill him, right? Although she was known for her ruthlessness, she was still reasonable.
“I… I wasn’t planning to run. I’m still here, aren’t I?”
She snorted.
“Don’t think you can hide from me in the Fire Refining Starry Sky.”
— You know about the Fire Refining Starry Sky too?
He was stunned. He thought of Jiu Youyue, who also knew about the Fire Refining Starry Sky, even about his Beautiful Sect Master’s presence within it.
This was his cheat, his secret! How did everyone know about it?!
It seemed she had indeed found the crystal pendant, which was why he had teleported onto her. And during these past few days, she must have figured out some of its secrets.
The Water City had a long history. It wasn’t impossible for someone to recognize the Fire Refining Starry Sky.
His escape method was useless, and acting cute wouldn’t work either. It seemed he had to play the “emotional card.”
“I didn’t mean to offend you. Not last time, and not this time. Can you… spare me, considering I cured your injuries?”
She narrowed her eyes, her slitted pupils fixed on him, her silence unnerving.
The ministers exchanged glances. Judging by their conversation, could it be that Her Majesty knew this impudent young man?
She finally spoke.
“That’s enough for today. You’re all dismissed.”
“Your Majesty!” The second-in-command of the Serpent Generals, a young man with an alluring appearance, asked, puzzled, “If I may be so bold, who is this young man?”
“It’s none of your concern.” The Serpent Queen’s voice was cold and authoritative. “Leave. I don’t want to repeat myself.”
Under the dual pressure of her cultivation and bloodline, the ministers paled, bowing their heads as they retreated.
Within the Water City, the Serpent Queen’s word was law. Only the three Serpent God Priests could challenge her authority.
The hall quickly emptied, leaving only the two of them, their position still… compromising.
Under her intense gaze, he felt like a mouse cornered by a snake.
“Can you… let go of me now? I won’t run.”
She said calmly, “Do you think I would believe you?”
“Then… what do you want?”
“You snuck into our forbidden grounds, touched my body… and now you’re asking me what I want? Human boy, do you think I’m a fool?”
— You’re my future wife~
He almost blurted it out, but he stopped himself just in time. Saying that would probably get him killed.
“I wandered in by accident! And I only touched you to heal your injuries! If you’re not satisfied… I can let you… touch me back?”
She inwardly scoffed. You shameless little…
She was about to say something when a commotion erupted outside. They both sensed a powerful aura approaching.
A Mystic Lord!
“I demand an audience with the Serpent Queen! I have an urgent matter to discuss with her!”
— That voice… Yun Xiu?!
They both recognized the voice, their expressions different.
