I Fish for Everything, Starting with the Medusa Queen - Chapter 7:

Chapter 7: What? Divorce?!

“Hmm?!”

Hearing Yan Lin’s words, Xiao Fan’s expression changed.

He had forgotten that the woman beside him was the Medusa Queen of the snake people tribe. The pride and cold arrogance in her bones were beyond ordinary people.

Asking her to become a concubine was no different from asking her to become a slave.

“Oh? You are unwilling?” Lin Qingyan looked at Medusa Queen with some surprise, meeting her gaze without the slightest fear.

“Although we have not shared the marriage bed, I am still his lawful wife by ceremony. If he wishes to take another woman, she can only be a concubine.”

Even though Medusa Queen was a Grandmaster Martial Realm powerhouse, Lin Qingyan was the reincarnation of a peak Imperial Martial Realm expert. A supreme treasure was hidden in the depths of her consciousness.

Even if there was a difference of two major realms, if she paid a price, she could severely injure or even kill the other party.

Therefore, even being two realms lower, Lin Qingyan still dared to face this queen directly.

“Oh? Is that so?” Yan Lin’s lips curved slightly, her aura turning increasingly dangerous. “That is simple. I can just have him divorce you.”

“After all, on your wedding night, you refused to let him touch you. No matter how beautiful you are, you are just a decorative vase. Divorcing you would solve everything.”

Xiao Fan was stunned.

Was Yan Lin helping him vent his anger? Or had her competitive instinct flared up after meeting a reincarnated Female Emperor?

“As expected of Yan Lin of the snake people tribe. Your temperament is truly arrogant,” Lin Qingyan smiled faintly.

Yan Lin’s eyes narrowed. “You can see through my identity?”

Lin Qingyan replied calmly, “A crown on your head, unparalleled beauty, overwhelming presence of a superior, and the legendary Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline. Other than the Medusa Queen of the Endless Death Desert, I cannot think of another woman with such traits.”

“Although I do not know how you appeared here, I must remind you that the waters of the Great Qian Empire run deeper than you imagine. Even though you have broken through to the 1st stage of the Grandmaster Martial Realm, do not act recklessly in the Imperial City. If you attract the forces behind the royal family, even you may not leave safely.”

“Oh? Are you warning me?” Yan Lin replied coldly, her aura growing even more dangerous.

“I am curious. Your talent is indeed terrifying, reaching the 1st stage King Martial Realm at such a young age. Among your peers, you are a prodigy. But no matter what, I am a Grandmaster Martial Realm expert. Are you truly not afraid that if you anger me, I might kill you with a wave of my hand?”

Ling Xing and Ling Yue’s expressions changed. They instinctively moved to stand in front of Lin Qingyan.

But Lin Qingyan remained calm. “The Grandmaster Martial Realm is strong, but killing me is not something you can accomplish.”

“Is that so? Then I must test it.”

Yan Lin raised her hand slightly. A wisp of flame appeared, and a terrifying heat swept through the courtyard.

At the same time, a terrifying icy aura spread from Lin Qingyan’s body, enveloping the courtyard.

The atmosphere became tense.

“Stop. Both of you, stop arguing!” Xiao Fan shouted.

Both Lin Qingyan and Yan Lin looked at him in surprise.

“Whether she becomes a concubine or whether there is a wedding, I have not finished speaking. Why are you arguing?”

Then Xiao Fan turned to Lin Qingyan.

“Lin Qingyan, I know you married me but refused to let me touch you because you believe that with your talent and background, we are not destined to stand on the same level.”

“But you have your path to godhood, and I have my own path to the heavens.”

“Right now, I may not match you. But in the future, I will not lose to you. I do not even know how far I can go. But I am certain that the heights I will reach will surpass even what you achieved before.”

These words struck Lin Qingyan like thunder.

Her eyes locked onto Xiao Fan. Her breathing quickened. Her previous calmness vanished.

Even Yan Lin looked at him in shock.

She felt that his words carried deeper meaning.

“What do you mean?” Lin Qingyan asked, staring at him.

At that moment, she felt as if she were standing naked before him, as if all her secrets had been seen through.

“I mean exactly what I said.” Xiao Fan smiled faintly.

“You have your secrets. I have mine. If you think marrying me is a grievance, then we might as well divorce. You continue being your proud princess. I continue being my so-called useless heir.”

“What? Divorce?!” Lin Qingyan’s expression changed drastically. Ling Xing and Ling Yue were also shocked.

“No.”

Lin Qingyan refused without hesitation, “Marriage is not a child’s game. This is a political marriage between the royal family and the Southern Suppression King’s Manor. We were just married yesterday. If we divorce today, it will disgrace both families. My father and your father will not spare you.”

Xiao Fan smiled slightly. “Your Highness is worried about me?”

“I am not unreasonable. If there were no restrictions and you truly wanted a divorce, I would not refuse. But marriage is not a trivial matter. Think carefully.”

After a moment, Xiao Fan said, “Then let us make an agreement. Three months from now, you two will fight. If you win, you decide whether we divorce. If I win, I decide.”

“And if that is not harsh enough, we can add another condition. Whoever loses must set aside their pride and wash the other’s feet for one month.”
