If you can choose to be weak, who would want to pretend to be strong?
Medusa's exceptional talent and rapid rise in strength made it no surprise that the Great Elders supported her as queen.
From childhood, the Great Elders had instilled in her the idea that the interests of the Serpent People were paramount.
As a result, Queen Medusa had no childhood and no friends.
Her single purpose in life was to cultivate and lead the Serpent People to new heights.
She was willing to die for the Serpent People's growth and strength.
This was why, despite knowing the dangers of using the strange fire, Queen Medusa still attempted it.
It was precisely because she prioritized the Serpent People that she forced herself to transform into a heartless ice cube.
But now, with the appearance of Lin Yuan, Queen Medusa felt that her entire life had been wasted!
It turns out that being loved, cared for, and protected by others is such a happy thing.
"Lin Yuan..."
Seeing Lin Yuan's ferocious face because of her, Queen Medusa didn't find it ugly at all.
On the contrary, in her eyes, Lin Yuan at this moment was the most handsome man in the world.
All the grievances that Queen Medusa had suffered over the years finally burst out at this moment.
She suddenly threw herself on Lin Yuan and hugged the man who loved her tightly.
With her head buried deeply in Lin Yuan's chest, Queen Medusa's tears were like beads with broken strings, instantly soaking Lin Yuan's clothes.
This man is really worthy of her lifelong support.
"My dear, why are you crying? Did I make you angry?"
When Queen Medusa threw herself into her arms, Lin Yuan's murderous expression instantly turned into panic.
He helplessly embraced Queen Medusa, like a child who had done something wrong. "Dear, I won't kill that old dog. Please stop crying, okay? Seeing you cry hurts my heart."
Lin Yuan patted Queen Medusa's back with one hand, trying to soothe her. He loosened his grip on the Great Elder's neck.
The moment he saw Queen Medusa weep, Lin Yuan felt his heart break.
No matter how much anger he harbored, nothing mattered in the moment his woman wept.
"Ahem..."
The moment Lin Yuan's grip loosened, the Great Elder clutched his neck and coughed violently.
A deep fear was evident in his eyes. The moment
Lin Yuan gripped his neck, the Great Elder felt the aura of death.
He had no doubt that if Queen Medusa hadn't stopped him at the crucial moment, he would have been reduced to a corpse.
"It's better to be alive!"
The Great Elder was truly terrified of Lin Yuan, and dared not utter another word.
After a while, Queen Medusa's mood gradually calmed down.
She slowly raised her head, seeing Lin Yuan's concerned expression. Finally, her tears stopped, and a heartfelt smile appeared. "Lin Yuan..."
Seeing Queen Medusa smile, Lin Yuan's heart, which had been clenching in his throat, finally relaxed.
He reached out and gently wiped the remaining tears from Queen Medusa's eyes, whispering, "Yes, I'm here, my dear!"
Lin Yuan's unintentional gesture warmed Medusa's heart once again.
She gazed deeply into Lin Yuan's eyes, and as if making a decision, she mustered her courage and said to him, "Lin Yuan, I love you!"
With these words, Queen Medusa hurriedly hid her head in Lin Yuan's chest again!
Wow!
As soon as Queen Medusa finished speaking, every Serpent Clan member in the hall stared wide-eyed, stunned.
Queen Medusa's personality was well known to everyone in the Serpent Clan.
She was like a thousand-year-old ice, with a perpetual expression that kept everyone at arm's length.
They had never imagined they would one day hear the Queen utter the words "love."
But after careful reflection, they felt a sense of relief.
Queen Medusa, it could be said, was a godlike figure among the Serpent Clan.
Consequently, the Serpent Clan had always believed that no man in the entire Qama Empire was worthy of their queen.
But Lin Yuan's appearance shattered everyone's perception.
They suddenly realized that only a man as outstanding as Lin Yuan could truly be worthy of their Serpent Clan's "goddess."
At that moment, Lin Yuan once again became the center of attention.
And when Lin Yuan heard Queen Medusa utter
the words, "I love you," a surge of ecstasy washed over him.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Yuan laughed heartily, then lifted Queen Medusa up into his arms!
"What are you doing?"
Queen Medusa stared in surprise. Lin Yuan immediately spun her around in circles.
He spun around for over ten times, and just as Queen Medusa was about to faint, Lin Yuan finally let her go.
He then placed his hands on Medusa's shoulders and solemnly declared, "Today, in front of all the Serpent People, I, Lin Yuan, make a promise to you!"
"For the rest of my life, I will love you wholeheartedly and make you the happiest woman in the world."
"The future may be full of uncertainties, but I can guarantee this: even if the world ends, even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, my love for you will remain steadfast."
"I will protect you with my life and will not let anyone bully you!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan knelt on one knee and grasped Queen Medusa's hand. "Medusa, I love you. Will you marry me?"
Following Lin Yuan's heartfelt confession, the entire hall fell silent.
Lin Yuan's words echoed his heart. Everyone sensed his affection for Queen Medusa in his words.
Queen Medusa's devotion to the Serpent People was evident to all.
Therefore, they were all genuinely happy for her to have found such a true lover.
After hearing Lin Yuan's confession, Queen Medusa burst into tears of joy.
Her red lips moved softly, and her voice trembled as she said, "Okay..."
"Pa pa pa pa!"
As soon as Queen Medusa uttered the word "Okay," the entire hall erupted in applause!
With the exception of the First Elder, whose expression was a little strained, everyone, including the Second and Fourth Elders, clapped their hands frantically.
The applause was filled with a melody of blessing!
"Huh? What happened?"
The Third Elder, having found the herbs for the Shape Pill in the back hall, hurried to the front hall without stopping.
However, as soon as he entered the front hall, deafening applause reached the ears of the Third Elder, leaving him stunned...
