Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: A Place to Settle Down

The Medusa Clan people were saved, and naturally, they were deeply grateful to Qin Yi and the others.

Originally, they intended to host Qin Yi and the others well, but embarrassingly, their resources were pitifully scarce, and they couldn’t even produce a decent meal.

The once illustrious Medusa Clan, renowned and powerful, now faced the dilemma of mere survival.

It’s said that a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, but the ancestors of the Medusa Clan who once betrayed the Evil Lord saved the world, though few know this, only knowing the Medusa Clan as traitors.

Thus, leading the Demon Clan to relentlessly pursue them, other beings view the foreign Medusa as sinister. They can only hide and struggle to survive.

Eventually, it was Qin Yi and others who took out the water they brought; the Shadow Clan also brought quite a bit of food, thus a meal was pieced together.

While eating, Qin Yi couldn’t help but say, "Medusa Queen, has your clan ever thought about what to do afterwards now that you’ve fallen to such a state?"

The Medusa Queen’s expression was forlorn, "I just hope my clan’s flame never extinguishes. Being alive is already good enough, what more can we ask for the future?"

"If you’re willing, I do have a good place to recommend to you. It guarantees the absence of harm and allows cultivation and rest."

The Medusa Queen’s eyes were filled with fervor and hope, "What place?"

"Have you heard of the Northern Central State?"

The Medusa Queen nodded slightly, "Northern Central State is the territory of the Netherworld Hall."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "It’s good you know! The Netherworld Hall is my friend, I can write a letter, and you can take your clan to Northern Central State."

"I believe with the protection of the Netherworld Hall, no one would dare to easily bully you. You can breed and grow peacefully."

The Medusa Queen was full of excitement, "This, is this really possible?"

"Don’t worry. The Netherworld Hall is a very good friend of Qin Yi, as long as you say you’re Qin Yi’s friend, they will certainly take you in," Yun Mengyao said.

The Medusa Queen stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Yi, "I don’t even know how to thank Young Master Qin properly; as long as my clan has a place to reside, I’m willing to do anything."

"You don’t need to do anything; you deserve to be treated kindly."

"Honestly, I admire your ancestors. If it were me, I might not have done better than them."

Qin Yi said earnestly.

The Medusa Clan should not be persecuted; good people should not be bullied.

Qin Yi looked at the people of the Medusa Clan, wanting to speak but held his tongue.

But enduring for so long, he finally couldn’t hold back because his curiosity was too strong.

"Medusa Queen, I have a question, if it’s offensive, you can choose not to answer."

"What question?"

Qin Yi said, "Why are there no men from the Medusa Clan?"

All he saw were women, not a single man.

Medusa was taken aback, clearly not expecting that this would be the question Qin Yi asked, her expression a bit embarrassed.

"If it’s difficult to answer, just pretend I never asked."

The Medusa Queen shook her head, "Actually, there’s nothing difficult to answer. Years ago, our clan was full of men. Sadly, for over thousands of years, they have all been killed."

Qin Yi was shocked, not expecting the men of the Medusa Clan to have entirely died out.

Yun Mengyao was curious, "Then how do you reproduce?"

The Medusa Queen’s face slightly flushed, softly replied, "Borrow."

"Borrow? Borrow what?"

Yun Mengyao looked utterly confused.

Yin Qianqian laughed, "Nonsense, of course borrowing seeds, else what do you think borrowing means?"

Borrowing seeds?

Qin Yi and others were taken aback.

The Medusa Queen’s voice was low, "In order to continue the reproduction of the Medusa Clan, we can only seek human males."

"Then those human males must be killed by you afterwards, right?" Yun Mengyao asked.

The Medusa Queen shook her head, "No, as soon as pregnancy happens, we leave by ourselves, never harming their lives."

"Unfortunately, for all these years, no male has been born."

Yun Mengyao furrowed her brow, angrily said, "These beasts, driving people to the brink yet still not letting go, truly despicable."

Qin Yi sighed slightly, although such a matter seems inhumane, these people were forced and pained.

Yun Mengyao is right, if not forced onto a desperate path, trying to preserve at least one spark, these women wouldn’t need to resort to this?

This topic is too heavy, Qin Yi shifted the conversation, "Don’t worry! Once you reach Northern Central State, you can rest and recover, find someone you like, marry, give birth to children, and no longer hide in fear."

The Medusa Queen nodded gently.

Qin Yi sighed, a rope snaps at its weakest point, misfortune always clings to the wronged, he hopes his arrival can change the Medusa Clan’s current situation.

...

After eating and drinking.

Everyone found a place to rest.

The Medusa Queen felt very guilty, for the place was too broken to even find a suitable place for Qin Yi and the others to stay.

She originally planned to give up her own place, but Qin Yi refused.

"Blood Flood Dragon, Lang Ya, since you both like the Medusa Queen, you certainly wouldn’t want her to be harmed, right?"

"So... the night watch tonight is for the two of you."

By the firepit, Qin Yi said with a smile.

However, his words received no response.

Lang Ya was, as always, acting cool.

Blood Flood Dragon was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s Blood Flood Dragon?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

Yin Qianqian laughed, "I saw it escorting the Medusa Queen."

Qin Yi: "..."

"That guy, really knows how to show diligence. As his master, I don’t even get such treatment."

Yun Mengyao tugged on Lang Ya’s shirt, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and make sure Blood Flood Dragon doesn’t do something to the Medusa Queen."

Lang Ya said coolly, "He won’t."

"Why won’t he? Blood Flood Dragon follows Qin Yi, close companions get bad influences too, it’s not impossible for him to be moved by Medusa Queen’s beauty."

Qin Yi angrily rolled his eyes, what’s that got to do with him?

Lang Ya said, "Blood Flood Dragon hasn’t transformed into human form yet, so he can’t do anything."

"Uh..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

True enough, Blood Flood Dragon, now merely a Big Halberd, could do nothing even if he wanted.

"I’d better go take a look, that guy doesn’t know boundaries, might irritate the Medusa Queen."

Qin Yi stood up, went to find Blood Flood Dragon.

......

At the entrance of the Medusa Queen’s room.

The Medusa Queen looked at Blood Flood Dragon, "Thank you for sending me back."

"You’re welcome! It’s the only thing I can do for you."

"You all will be heading to Northern Central State while I’ll go with my master to the Xuanhuang Domain, our chances of meeting again are slim."

"Honestly, this is the first time I’ve liked someone. I didn’t expect it to end before it even started."

"Here, I’m wishing you all a smooth journey, take care."

Blood Flood Dragon’s voice was filled with bitterness and reluctance.
