134: Chapter 133 Nine Colors

Inside a house of the Mittel Family, Chen Yang gazed at the women as they slept peacefully, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly to reveal a faint smile.

Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Yang turned and stepped into the void, leaving the Jia Ma Empire and speeding off in the direction of the Snake-People Tribe in the Tagor Desert.

A year passed in a flash. He was deeply concerned about Medusa and his child, wondering how Medusa had fared over the past year and whether the child had been born.

Chen Yang was filled with anticipation, hoping that Medusa would accept him; after all, a child could not grow up without a father's love.

Chen Yang pondered to himself, noting that she had accepted the medicinal pills he had sent, so he assumed she still appreciated the gifts he gave her.

Within the Snake-People Tribe in the Tagor Desert, Medusa lay leisurely on her bed. Her belly was now visibly swollen due to her pregnancy, and the child would likely be born in another year.

Medusa reached out and gently stroked her swollen abdomen, a kind and gentle smile appearing on her face.

She could feel the child growing within her; that vigorous vitality was not only shaping the child's body but also nourishing Medusa's own.

Although Medusa did not understand the mystery of this life constitution, she knew it had everything to do with Chen Yang.

Hidden within the void, Chen Yang gazed through the palace walls with complex eyes, seeing Medusa lying on the bed while Hua She Er attended to her.

Chen Yang used his soul power to quietly scan Medusa's body, sensing her current strength.

Over the past year, Medusa had broken through to the seven-star Dou Zong realm, and the child in her womb was growing safely.

Looking at Medusa's exquisite features and languid aura, Chen Yang nodded. It seemed that Medusa had been free of worries all these years.

"Medusa, tell your subordinate to leave. I have something to discuss with you." Chen Yang transmitted his voice directly into her ears.

Upon hearing the voice, Medusa instantly became alert. She sat up and asked guardedly, "Who is it?"

Hua She Er was stunned to see Queen Medusa suddenly sit up and speak with a serious expression. She immediately said to Medusa, "Your Majesty, has someone arrived?"

Watching the two of them acting startled, Chen Yang revealed himself directly.

Chen Yang slowly stepped out of the void and arrived before Medusa and Hua She Er, saying, "Medusa, it's me, Han Li."

Chen Yang's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, rang out in the great hall, and both women immediately turned to look.

They saw a handsome and heroic man with his hands behind his back, radiating a powerful aura as if he could dominate everything.

"Who are you?" Hua She Er immediately moved in front of Medusa, blocking Chen Yang's view, and asked with a serious expression, "Why have you trespassed into the Snake-People Tribe Queen's palace?"

Hua She Er was extremely vigilant. She knew that the person before her was no ordinary individual. She pondered to herself that this person must be an expert to be able to sneak into the palace without alarming the guards outside.

She was ready to attack at any moment; even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would stop Chen Yang from attacking Queen Medusa. After all, Her Majesty was pregnant and should not be fighting.

There was not a hint of fear on Medusa's face. Her expression was complex, and her eyes flickered as if she were contemplating something.

"Hua She Er, you may withdraw. This man is the father of the child in my womb."

Medusa said calmly, her voice entering Hua She Er's mind like a thunderclap.

Hua She Er was instantly frozen in place. She never expected that the person who had snuck into the palace was actually the father of Her Majesty's child.

How could this be!

Hua She Er could not believe it, but since Her Majesty had said it herself, she had no choice but to obey.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hua She Er bowed to Medusa and then slithered out of the palace.

For a moment, the entire palace was silent. Neither Chen Yang nor Medusa spoke first; Chen Yang did not know what to say, and Medusa did not know how to face him.

Chen Yang watched Medusa's changing expression and her hand constantly stroking her abdomen; all of this showed that Medusa was in a complex state of mind.

"You... have you been well these years?"

Chen Yang looked at Medusa and spoke slowly, his deep voice resonating in the palace.

Hearing this, Medusa looked up and met Chen Yang's gaze. Seeing his flustered eyes, a complex surge of emotions arose in her heart.

She looked at Chen Yang, a flash of surprise in her eyes, before falling into deep thought. Medusa took a deep breath and slowly said, "These years, I have lived quite peacefully. With the child, I have found hope, but..."

Medusa paused, a trace of worry appearing in her eyes, "I do not know how to face you, after all, you did that to me back then."

Chen Yang looked at Medusa, a sharp pain in his heart. It was indeed his fault back then; after all, having gained power, he had become arrogant and disregarded everyone.

However, after a year of deepening his cultivation realm and perceiving the myriad things in heaven and earth, he understood that he still needed to settle down and reflect.

Chen Yang strode to Medusa's side, raised his hand to gently hold hers, and said slowly.

"Medusa, I was in the wrong back then. Are you willing to give me a chance?"

"I know I am late, and I have been working hard for our future. I hope to raise the child with you and make our home complete."

Medusa looked at Chen Yang, tears glistening in her eyes. She nodded gently and said, "I am willing to give you a chance; after all, the child needs a father."

Chen Yang looked at Medusa, filled with gratitude. He gripped her hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Medusa. I will take good care of you and the child."

Medusa looked at Chen Yang, her heart filled with warmth, and smiled as she said, "I believe you."

"Then, can you tell me your name now?"

Chen Yang's eyes were full of anticipation as he gazed quietly at Medusa and spoke slowly.

Medusa looked at Chen Yang, pulled him to the bedside with her jade hand, lowered her head, and leaned quietly against his chest, whispering, "My name now is Jiu Cai."

"The one you gave me."

Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately stretched out his arms and pulled Jiu Cai tightly into his embrace. Chen Yang rested his chin on Jiu Cai's forehead, his eyes full of joy.

"Thank you, Jiu Cai, my wife."

"Mm." Jiu Cai also extended her jade arms to embrace Chen Yang, responding to him gently in his arms.

The two remained tightly embraced, feeling each other's warmth.

In truth, Jiu Cai did not have much love for Chen Yang; perhaps she felt more hatred than love. If it hadn't been for the despicable means Chen Yang had used back then, she might still be a maiden today.

But things were different now. If it weren't for this child, Jiu Cai might have chosen not only to refuse Chen Yang but also to cultivate diligently, striving to find Chen Yang and kill him to avenge her lost innocence.

However, the child was innocent, and in the end, for the sake of the child, Jiu Cai compromised.
