The Medusa Queen looked at the Blood Flood Dragon and gave a graceful bow. "Thank you!"

The Blood Flood Dragon hurriedly said, "Don’t be polite with me. Because I like you."

Holy shit!

Not only Qin Yi was stunned—everyone present was stunned.

Was this guy for real? That blunt?

The corners of Qin Yi’s mouth lifted; he had to admit, the Blood Flood Dragon was very brave.

Only Lang Ya’s handsome face shifted slightly, looking a bit awkward.

The Medusa Queen thought she’d misheard. After confirming several times, she realized she hadn’t, and her pretty face flushed red.

"I know saying this out of nowhere is abrupt, but I’m serious."

The Blood Flood Dragon said it with a perfectly straight face.

This was the first time the Medusa Queen had run into something like this. She was a bit shy and, for a moment, didn’t know how to react, freezing on the spot.

The Blood Flood Dragon quickly said, "I know saying it like this is a bit abrupt. You don’t have to rush to answer me. Just knowing that I like you is enough."

"I still can’t take human form right now, but I’ll work hard."

The Medusa Queen looked a little embarrassed and at a complete loss.

Qin Yi kicked the Blood Flood Dragon, then looked at the Medusa Queen and said with a smile:

"This guy is also facing someone he likes for the first time, so he’s running his mouth a bit. But I believe he’s serious."

Yun Mengyao recovered, stepped forward, and sized up the Blood Flood Dragon. "You’re a weapon, and you’ve actually started feeling springtime stirrings."

The Blood Flood Dragon said, "I may be a weapon, but I’m also a top-tier Demon Beast. I’ll turn into a human sooner or later."

Yun Mengyao said with a smile:

"I don’t mean to look down on you. I just want to say—good luck. Wish you an early success in winning your beauty."

The Blood Flood Dragon was clearly surprised, then hurriedly said, "Thank you, Fairy Yun."

Qin Yi waved his hand. "Alright, let’s talk as we walk."

"Medusa Queen, if you’d be so kind as to lead the way."

The Medusa Queen nodded, turned and made a "please" gesture, then quickly moved to lead in front. Qin Yi’s words had basically saved her from the awkwardness.

"What’s up with him? Is he alright?"

On the road, Yun Mengyao pointed at the sulking Lang Ya and quietly asked Qin Yi.

Qin Yi’s lips curved with a hint of amusement. "He likes the Medusa Queen too."

"Huh? You’re saying Lang Ya also likes the Medusa Queen?"

Yun Mengyao looked utterly shocked.

Everyone turned to look over.

Yun Mengyao’s voice was too loud; everyone heard it.

Lang Ya also likes the Medusa Queen?

This... is way too melodramatic, right?

The Medusa Queen’s face was full of confusion. She subconsciously looked at Lang Ya.

Lang Ya’s face was burning with embarrassment, his handsome features completely flushed. His cold, aloof persona was on the verge of collapse.

Yin Qianqian looked at Lang Ya in surprise. "You really also like the Medusa Queen?"

Lang Ya’s handsome face was bright red. He umm-ed and ahh-ed for ages without managing a single complete sentence.

Everyone has a different personality. The Blood Flood Dragon could boldly confess, but he just couldn’t.

"What are you mumbling for? If you like her, you like her, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"

"Look at me. I’ve been drooling over Qin Yi’s body and never once tried to hide it."

Yin Qianqian said carelessly.

"Ahem..."

Qin Yi almost choked on his own saliva.

Yun Mengyao curiously studied the Medusa Queen. "What kind of Magic Power do you have, exactly, that made both Lang Ya and the Blood Flood Dragon fall for you at the same time?"

The Medusa Queen’s pretty face was rosy; she honestly had no idea how to answer that.

She hadn’t even exchanged a few proper sentences with these two. How was she supposed to know why they liked her?

Was it just because she looked pretty?

The Medusa Queen gradually slipped back into her cool, detached demeanor. She did care about her looks, but she hoped that whoever liked her, liked more than just her beauty.

If they liked her only for her face, that wasn’t "liking" her—that was just being horny.

Qin Yi said with a smile, "Medusa Queen, let me introduce this one to you—Lang Ya. His Cultivation is on par with mine."

The Medusa Queen was shocked. She’d seen Qin Yi’s Cultivation with her own eyes: absurdly powerful. She hadn’t expected this handsome young man’s Cultivation to be no weaker than Qin Yi’s.

Of course, surprise was just surprise. She admired the strong, but that didn’t automatically equal liking them.

Lang Ya was like a stuffy gourd, not saying a word.

Qin Yi said amusedly, "Little Wolf, stop keeping a straight face and acting cool. Say hi to her."

Lang Ya held it in for a long time and finally squeezed out a single "hello" to the Medusa Queen.

Qin Yi held back a laugh and said to the Medusa Queen, "Don’t mind him. That’s just how this guy is—he likes to act cool for no reason."

The Medusa Queen gave a faint smile.

Yin Qianqian asked Qin Yi curiously, "The Blood Flood Dragon and Lang Ya both like the Medusa Queen. I want to know—who are you rooting for?"

Qin Yi instead looked at the Medusa Queen and asked with a smile, "I want to know—what kind of man do you like?"

"Introverted, or outgoing? Lang Ya is cold and aloof, a bit of a repressed flirt. The Blood Flood Dragon is more extroverted and talkative—being with him wouldn’t be boring. How would you choose?"

The Medusa Queen’s face was flaming. This was everyone’s first meeting; she didn’t know Lang Ya or the Blood Flood Dragon at all. How was she supposed to answer that?

Seeing this, Qin Yi immediately understood and said with a smile, "You really don’t need to put yourself on the spot. I’m not forcing you to pick one of them right now."

"I’m just saying, the two of them are both excellent. You can keep them in mind."

"Of course, since they both like you, I’m all for letting them compete fair and square. We’ll see who wins your heart. If you don’t like either of them, that’s fine too. Feelings can’t be forced. A melon twisted off the vine by force never tastes sweet."

The Medusa Queen said softly, "Thank you."

Qin Yi was too powerful; she really had been worried he’d try to force her.

Hearing him say this now, she felt much more at ease.

Qin Yi glanced at the Blood Flood Dragon, then at Lang Ya, and said with a smile:

"You two better not embarrass me. At least one of you had better win the girl."

"If both of you strike out, I’ll start wondering whether the people around me are just that hopeless."

The Blood Flood Dragon hurriedly said, "Master, I’ll do my best."

Lang Ya was still acting cool, pretending he hadn’t heard.

Yun Mengyao leaned in close to Lang Ya. "Want me to help you chase the Medusa Queen? You know women understand women best. With my help you’ll take fewer detours and get twice the result for half the effort."

Lang Ya looked at Yun Mengyao, obviously tempted.

"If you love her, you gotta say it out loud and go after her. You, you’re a complete stuffy gourd—if you can’t even talk, how are you supposed to compete with the Blood Flood Dragon?"

"Don’t forget the Blood Flood Dragon’s been following Qin Yi around. You know how sharp Qin Yi’s tongue is. The Blood Flood Dragon’s been influenced by that. On this front, you’re at a huge disadvantage."

Lang Ya glanced at the Medusa Queen, then nodded slightly and said to Yun Mengyao, "I owe you one."

Yun Mengyao grinned. "Deal. With me helping you, I guarantee you’ll get the girl."

"That’s cheating. I object. We said fair and square, and now there’s outside help?"

The Blood Flood Dragon was anxious.
