The Myriad Snake Queen had no idea what had come over her. A single thought flashed through her mind—”It’s been so long since I got close to him”—and suddenly she couldn’t hold herself back. She leaned in to kiss her husband.
Yan Zhen knew exactly why. He had prompted System-chan to activate his “Special Trump Card: Pretty Boy Ploy,” which skyrocketed his charm. Any older sister type would now see him as the ultimate hunk, the perfect match for her tastes, and let him off the hook.
Ahem. To save his own skin, he had no choice but to sacrifice his good looks. Besides, the Myriad Snake Queen was his future wife, so it wasn’t much of a loss.
Still, Yan Zhen hadn’t expected it to work quite so well. It had actually made her take the initiative and kiss him. Maybe it was because she was injured, leaving her mental state unstable.
He neither resisted nor reciprocated, just obediently letting the Myriad Snake Queen plant her kisses on him.
With his willpower, handling a simple kiss was no problem, no matter how stunning or alluring she might be.
As he thought that, a slender, serpentine tongue deftly pried past his defenses. It delved deep into his mouth, effortlessly entwining with his own and greedily claiming his saliva.
Yan Zhen felt a tingling jolt like electricity surging through his mouth, racing straight to his brain. His thoughts grew numb, leaving only one idea repeating in his mind:
So slender! So long! So probing! So entwining!
It was as if the Myriad Snake Queen meant to make up for the entire past year and a half in that one kiss. She cupped his face, venting her love and desire freely and wildly.
In her mind, Yan Yan’s consciousness avatar watched as her mother concubine took the initiative to kiss her father emperor. A beautiful face much like her mother’s flushed with a rosy tint. She shyly covered her eyes with her hands, though the gaps between her fingers gaped wide open.
This wasn’t the first time Yan Yan had stumbled upon her mother and father getting intimate, but it was the first time she’d seen her mother so proactively seeking affection from him.
Her mother had kept urging her to go find her father, and she’d brushed it off without a second thought. But clearly, her mother had been missing him badly. Mother just loved putting on a tough front.
Heh heh, it seemed that tackle she’d made earlier wasn’t entirely wrong after all~
“Speaking of which, young Father Emperor is kind of cute. Being pinned under Mother and kissed without daring to move an inch, his face all red and everything~”
Yan Yan savored the sweet romance between her parents with relish.
The Myriad Snake Queen stayed pressed atop Yan Zhen, kissing him for nearly five full minutes. She tasted every corner of his mouth thoroughly before finally lifting her head. Her long, vivid red serpentine tongue licked her lips, still craving more.
Her face flushed crimson as she panted softly, a misty haze forming in her eyes. Her blood-red slit pupils reflected the expression on Yan Zhen’s face—one on the verge of melting—and it only stirred her inner urges further.
—In her past life, he’d always been the one bullying her. Now, she desperately wanted to bully him back.
“…”
Yan Zhen couldn’t take it anymore. He quickly instructed System-chan to deactivate the buff from “Special Trump Card: Pretty Boy Ploy.”
Using the card once meant activating and deactivating it counted as one use. If left on, it could persist indefinitely.
With the buff gone, the Myriad Snake Queen would stop kissing him. His only worry was that she might fly into a humiliated rage and kill him on the spot.
Yan Zhen tensed up, ready at any moment to activate Star Shifting Fire Seal and flee into the Fire Refining Starry Sky.
But the Myriad Snake Queen keenly noticed his little maneuver. Her slender fingers clamped onto his wrists like shackles.
Yan Zhen immediately felt his mystic power cut off from flowing into his right palm. Without that, he couldn’t activate Star Shifting Fire Seal.
—Hey, come on, seriously?
It was the first time he’d encountered something like this. Star Shifting Fire Seal was his greatest life-saving move. Unless it was a Mystic Venerable expert who commanded spatial power, no one could stop him from escaping into the Fire Refining Starry Sky. He’d never imagined there’d be a counter like this.
Did the Myriad Snake Queen know about Star Shifting Fire Seal?!
With his escape route blocked, Yan Zhen had only one last resort. He blinked his big, watery eyes forcefully, trying to look as cute as can be.
“Um, please spare me, big sis~”
Little did he know, this appearance only ignited the love and desire in the Myriad Snake Queen’s heart even more fiercely than “Special Trump Card: Pretty Boy Ploy”!
Because what she really loved was riding atop him and taking charge.
Her breathing grew heavier. Just as she was about to kiss her husband again, a burning pain flared up inside her body once more. She froze mid-motion, letting out a muffled groan, and snapped back to her senses.
Her emotions had spiraled a bit out of control, disrupting her mystic power. The Scarlet Flame she’d just suppressed resurfaced, slithering through her meridians. It absorbed her mystic power even as it scorched her from within.
Still straddling Yan Zhen, the Myriad Snake Queen propped herself up with one hand while clutching her ample bosom with the other. Painful groans escaped her glossy red lips.
From Yan Zhen’s angle, he had a perfect view of the beauty’s spring charms, but he paid no attention to the stunning sight before him. Instead, his eyes sharpened as he recalled his future wife’s injuries.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
The Myriad Snake Queen shook her head on instinct, but the pain etched between her brows didn’t escape Yan Zhen’s notice.
As expected, her injuries were severe. She was just holding on through sheer force of will.
【Ding! Key plot triggered】
【Current plot progress—Chapter 285: Could It Be the Female Monarch?】
【Role-Playing Requirement: ① Obtain two Water Element Hearts; ② Heal the mysterious woman encountered in the pool, absorbing the Scarlet Flame from her body】
【Completion: 0%】
The task had arrived.
Yan Zhen rallied his spirits and ventured, “It seems like there’s untamed Extreme Flame lingering in your body. It’s circulating with your mystic power through your whole body, scorching your meridians and causing the intense pain… My cultivation method is rather special. I can draw out the Extreme Flame for you.”
The Myriad Snake Queen opened her eyes and looked at Yan Zhen’s concerned expression. She felt a mix of delight and shyness.
“Then… I’ll have to trouble you.”
She believed him just like that? She seemed awfully easy to convince, which didn’t match her shrewd, iron-fisted persona at all.
Yan Zhen felt a twinge of doubt, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. Completing the task was key.
“I can heal you, but I have two conditions.”
“Name them.”
“First, treating you will involve some physical contact. You have to promise not to mind—and no settling scores later.”
The Myriad Snake Queen harrumphed inwardly. Some physical contact? In her past life, he’d practically groped her everywhere.
“As long as it’s not too excessive, it’ll be fine.”
She was being far too agreeable, Yan Zhen thought to himself. He immediately stated his second demand: “Second, I’d like two Water Element Hearts as payment.”
“If you can heal this monarch, you can have every last Water Element Heart for all I care.”
“No need for all of them. Two will do.” Yan Zhen replied earnestly. “Since you’ve agreed, let’s make it a deal. I’ll start by drawing out the Extreme Flame for you.”
With that, he planted his hands on the ground and slowly sat up. The Myriad Snake Queen’s plump rear slid onto his lap. Her eyes still closed, she lost her balance for a moment and began to tip backward.
“Ah!”
Hearing his future wife’s startled cry, Yan Zhen reacted swiftly, wrapping his arms around her sinuous water-snake waist. Their position grew even more intimate in an instant.
