Chapter 119: Reunion and War
The owner of those bright eyes was none other than the beauty Lin Yuan had not seen for a long time, Queen Medusa.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a spacious couch in the palace, practicing. Her delicate and charming face was graceful and enchanting, as if it had gathered the essence of heaven and earth, making people involuntarily intoxicated by it.

Suddenly, Queen Medusa raised her head slightly, her heart beating slightly, and looked in the direction of Lin Yuan with some feeling.

"Are you back? Master Alchemist, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

At this moment, the aura emanating from Queen Medusa was even stronger than a year ago, and waves of space ripples were swaying around her, as if the entire palace was trembling under her aura. She felt her own aura with satisfaction, and an expectant smile appeared on her face.

On a soft cushion not far away, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to sense something and slowly opened her lavender eyes.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Lin Yuan, her eyes flashing with excitement. Then, colorful light bloomed, and a very delicate little girl appeared in the original place. She was wearing a colorful dress, with a very delicate face, and her eyebrows could vaguely see the appearance of Queen Medusa. It was Lin Yuan's daughter Xiao Cai.

Xiao Cai excitedly ran to Queen Medusa and pulled her excitedly, "Mom, mom, I can feel daddy's breath, he's coming!"

Queen Medusa smiled at Xiao Cai, with a touch of intoxicating tenderness in her eyes. She gently touched Xiao Cai's head and said, "Xiao Cai is really smart. I feel it too. He is finally here. I have been waiting for him for a long time."

As she spoke, Queen Medusa took Xiao Cai's hand, the space shook slightly, and their figures disappeared on the spot. Soon, a rainbow of light shot up from the palace and flew towards Lin Yuan at a high speed.

In the vast desert, Lin Yuan, Qing Lin and Zi Yan, riding the Winged Snake King, streaked across the sky like a meteor, and rushed towards the direction of the Snake Man Holy City.

"This kind of place is a desert. It feels so boring, and I don't feel like there are any treasures nearby. It's not as fun as the mountains before." Zi Yan looked at the endless sand dunes in front of her, a little disappointed on her face.

This was her first time seeing a desert, but unfortunately it did not meet her expectations at all.

Lin Yuan patted Zi Yan's little head gently, smiled, and said in a complicated tone: "This desert is not simple, there are many stories."

At this point, Lin Yuan's mind flashed through a number of people and events, including Qing Lin, Queen Medusa, Strange Fire, the Snake People, Hai Bodong, Yunshan, Yun Yun, and Gu He.
Although he did not stay in this desert for a long time, he had a deep connection with this desert, and many things happened in that short period of time. In this desert, he planned a lot and gained a lot.

Zi Yan pouted. She could sense Lin Yuan's mood, but she didn't say anything else.

During this period of time, Zi Yan has been helping Lin Yuan to greatly strengthen the dragon energy of his lifeblood pill. Therefore, the connection between the two is much stronger than before, and both sides can feel each other's emotions more and more.

Qinglin watched silently from the side, with a nostalgic look in her eyes. For her, although this desert brought her a lot of pain and suffering, it was also the starting point of her beautiful memories.

Several people flew forward silently.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan looked towards the distant sky with a gentle smile on his face, "Are you here?"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking air in the sky, and a rainbow of light flew rapidly from afar, and instantly arrived in front of the three people. After the rainbow light dissipated, the figure of Queen Medusa holding Xiao Cai appeared.

Lin Yuan and Queen Medusa looked at each other, and an indescribable atmosphere flowed between them. The relationship between the two was complex and subtle, with a deep connection because of Xiao Cai, and many other complex emotions and feelings.

"You're here." Queen Medusa spoke first, with a mysterious meaning in her voice.

Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am here. Sorry, Your Majesty, I am a little later than expected." There was a hint of apology in his voice.

Queen Medusa glanced at him lightly, loosened her hand and said calmly: "It's a little late. Xiao Cai missed you very much and has been waiting for you."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cai flew into Lin Yuan's arms and hugged him tightly. She felt the intimacy coming from the depths of her soul, even though she had not seen him for a long time. A satisfied smile spread across her face: "Daddy, you are finally here! I missed you so much!"

"Yeah, I miss you too, Xiao Cai!" Lin Yuan stroked Xiao Cai's head gently, feeling the sense of closeness coming from the depths of his soul, his eyes full of pampering.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Queen Medusa, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work over the past year. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Cai."

"There's nothing to thank me for. Xiao Cai is my daughter, and I will naturally take good care of her." Queen Medusa waved her hand and said lightly.

Then, she looked at Lin Yuan with a bit more satisfaction in her eyes: "It seems that you have not been idle this year. Not only have you been promoted to the Douhuang realm, but you have also reached the level of a four-star Douhuang. It seems that you attach importance to the battle agreement between us and are prepared for it."

Even so, her tone was still full of confidence. No one knew better than her how much progress she had made in the past year. It was not just a simple promotion or a stronger cultivation, but an all-round change that could be called a complete transformation.

"Of course." Lin Yuan looked at Queen Medusa steadily and said in a deep voice: "I have always taken Her Majesty the Queen very seriously. Although I had some expectations, the Queen's progress still exceeded my imagination. With such a strong aura, it seems that you have already broken through to the two-star Dou Zong, which is amazing."

As he spoke, he picked out a spiritual fruit with a very strong fire element from his ring and gently fed it into Xiao Cai's mouth. After Xiao Cai swallowed the spiritual fruit, a satisfied and happy smile spread across her face, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she was obviously enjoying it very much.

Medusa chuckled when she heard this, and did not continue the topic. Instead, she looked at Qinglin and Ziyan who were looking at her and Xiaocai with curiosity.

Seeing Queen Medusa's gaze turned towards him, Qing Lin smiled gently, "Long time no see, Queen Sister."

"Long time no see, Qinglin. You really surprised me." Queen Medusa smiled back, but she was also shocked. She noticed that Qinglin had already reached the level of a six-star Dou Wang, and the speed of his improvement was beyond her imagination.

"The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, what a terrifying physique, no wonder our ancestors valued it so much. However." Queen Medusa secretly admired in her heart, but she also gained a little more confidence after the successful evolution, "I have evolved into a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, so I won't be any worse."

Then, Queen Medusa turned her attention to Zi Yan, the new face.

Queen Medusa was not as surprised as most people when she saw Zi Yan. Although Zi Yan looked like a little girl with the aura of a Dou Huang, the familiar feeling she felt from Zi Yan made her understand her identity. This little girl should be a transformed demon beast like Xiao Cai.

Zi Yanze stared blankly at the exquisite figure of Queen Medusa, muttering, "So big, so amazing. This size is no worse than mine in the 'Big Zi Yan' state."

"What size? What is this child talking about?" Hearing Zi Yan's murmur, Queen Medusa felt a little confused. At this time, Lin Yuan walked over with Xiao Cai. Qing Lin and Xiao Cai also greeted each other warmly. The two had a good relationship before they parted.

When Lin Yuan noticed Zi Yan's eyes and heard her whispers, he immediately understood what the girl was thinking. He couldn't help but take a look at Queen Medusa's exquisite figure and compared it with the 'Big Zi Yan' in his memory. He soon came to a conclusion in his mind, "Both in appearance and figure are comparable, each has its own merits and flavors."

"Unfortunately, Zi Yan's current temperament is not yet able to control the maturity and beauty of 'Big Zi Yan', and she is unable to fully bring out her charm. But Queen Medusa is already a fully mature and peerless beauty."

Queen Medusa seemed to sense something and gave Lin Yuan a fierce look.

“Ahem~” Retracting his thoughts, Lin Yuan coughed twice, pulled Zi Yan in front of him, and introduced her to Queen Medusa and Xiao Cai: “Your Majesty, Xiao Cai, this is Zi Yan, my little sister.”

Then, Lin Yuan gestured to Zi Yan and introduced her: "Zi Yan, this is Queen Medusa whom I told you about before. She is my queen, Xiao Cai's mother, and the mistress of the land under our feet."

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Queen Medusa and Lin Yuan's complicated emotions, Zi Yan greeted Lin Yuan sincerely and friendly: "Hello, Sister Medusa, I am Zi Yan."

"A transformed demon beast, the alchemist's sister?" Queen Medusa nodded slightly and said softly, "Hello! I didn't expect this guy to have such a lovely sister."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled gently, touched Xiao Cai's head beside him, and introduced: "And she, Xiao Cai, is my daughter."

Xiao Cai came close to Zi Yan, sniffed, blinked her bright eyes, and asked curiously: "Sister Zi Yan, are you also a transformed monster? Also, I seem to be able to feel that you have an aura very similar to that of Daddy!"

It was the first time she heard someone call her sister, and it was a little girl who was a transformed monster like herself. Moreover, she could faintly feel some of Lin Yuan's aura in the depths of her soul, which made Zi Yan a little excited. "Hey, sister?"

She looked at the little girl in front of her, reached out and hugged her, and rubbed her delicate little face against hers, "Yes, yes, I am Sister Zi Yan, and I am also a transformed monster. Little sister, you are also very cute! Well, this bottle of meatballs is for you, it's delicious."

As she spoke, Zi Yan actually took out a bottle of delicious pills that Lin Yuan had made for her from her ring, which was extremely rare, and handed it to Xiao Cai.

Xiao Cai took the bottle of pellets that Zi Yan stuffed in her, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She held Zi Yan's hand and said excitedly: "Then we are the same kind! Sister Zi Yan, we can play together in the future!"

Lin Yuan, Queen Medusa, and Qing Lin looked at the 'simple' interaction between Zi Yan and Xiao Cai, and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, a breeze blew by, and waves of pleasant fragrance wafted from the beauty beside me.

Lin Yuan calmed down, looked at Queen Medusa and asked, "Queen, what is the current situation of the snake people? Have you negotiated with Mulan Valley?"

Queen Medusa did not answer Lin Yuan's question directly. She stared at Lin Yuan's eyes with a sharp gaze and said solemnly, "We will talk about this later. There is only one thing I want to do now. You understand, right?"

"A battle agreement between you and me?" A hint of enlightenment flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He nodded slightly, and his gaze also became sharp.

Yes, of course he understood what Queen Medusa meant by "what she wanted to do now" - that was to fulfill the battle agreement that the two had made, and the loser needed to unconditionally agree to one condition of the winner.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Her Majesty the Queen has been looking forward to this for a long time. Well, let's finish this matter first."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Queen Medusa nodded with satisfaction, "I've prepared the battlefield. I know you don't want to leave any traces of yourself in the Gama Empire, so I prepared for a long time and prepared a battlefield that is enough to isolate the fighting atmosphere between you and me."

"Your Majesty is indeed smart." Lin Yuan looked at Queen Medusa with a little more admiration in his eyes. Such an intelligent woman is pleasing to the eye.

"Follow me." After saying that, Queen Medusa turned around and flew towards the northwest.

Lin Yuan also led everyone to follow and explained a little to them along the way.

Xiao Cai asked in confusion: "Are Daddy and Mommy going to fight? Why?"

Zi Yan, on the other hand, looked like she was looking forward to a world in chaos, and shouted excitedly, "Fighting? I love watching it the most!"

Qing Lin did not speak. As someone who had witnessed almost the entire process of Lin Yuan and Queen Medusa getting along, she understood everything. She thought of the things Lin Yuan bought when she and Lin Yuan were visiting the Holy City of Gama a year ago, and she showed a clear look from the outside, and at the same time, there was a little more yearning in her eyes.

During the flight, Lin Yuan had a vague sense of familiarity. Finally, after a period of flight, everyone stopped in front of a solid space barrier. After passing through several layers of solid space barriers, everyone finally arrived at the destination. After arriving at the destination, they arrived at a corner of the Warcraft Forest.

Lin Yuan looked at the familiar place in front of him, especially the large circular white area in the middle of the dense forest. He immediately understood it and his eyes showed a bit of nostalgia. This was the place where he and Queen Medusa had their first duel.

He looked at the peerless beauty standing in the void in front of him and chuckled, "What a great place. Your Majesty the Queen is thoughtful."

"This is the starting point of our victory, and this should also be the end point of our victory." Queen Medusa said calmly with an inexplicable look on her face.

Then, her eyes became stern, and she said in a deep voice: "It's time for you to tell me in person who you are! My Elder Alchemist."

"Oh?" Looking at Queen Medusa, whose eyes and attitude were very different from before, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Queen, aren't you worried that deepening your relationship with me will bring unbearable risks to the snake people?"

"No matter what the risk is, I, the king now and in the future, am able to shoulder it all."

As the confident words fell, colorful lights gathered around Queen Medusa, and a strange colorful sword appeared in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Lin Yuan.

"Very good, then..." A ray of green light flashed in Lin Yuan's deep eyes. Immediately, endless green fire gathered in his hand and formed a strangely shaped green fire spear, with the blade pointing directly at Queen Medusa.

"Canaan College, Lin Yuan, please fight!!!"

　It's really hard to write the plots of first encounters and reunions with acquaintances. It's a bit of a headache.
