"I've seen this jade pendant before!"
Qi Yan'er's petite body trembled slightly, and her small mouth uttered words that shocked everyone.
"Seen it?"
Yun Shan's face wrinkled even more when he heard this.
His eyes were deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
The Four Elders exchanged glances and immediately looked at Queen Medusa.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Queen Medusa's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Qi Yan'er and asked in surprise:
"Yan'er~ You said you've seen this jade pendant? Where did you see it?"
"Under my father's pillow."
Qi Yan'er answered truthfully, her tender face slightly changing color.
"He's kept it all these years, taking it out every now and then to look at it, sometimes for a whole day."
"My father said it's the only thing my mother left behind!"
"It's her! It's her! It really is her!"
Upon hearing this, the Serpent-People Clan's Four Elders were immediately overjoyed, their arms raised above their heads as they let out a long, echoing cry:
"The heavens are truly blessing our Serpent-People Clan!"
The four elders, acting like madmen, cheered and danced in the air, causing countless people to stare in bewilderment.
"Elders, what's going on?"
Mo Basi muttered in surprise.
Yue Mei shook her head, puzzled. "Who knows?"
"Old man might know something."
At this moment, Yin Shi, the Serpent-People Clan's strategist, who was stooped with age, immediately straightened his back and smiled.
"Oh?"
Yin Shi's words aroused the doubts of many leaders.
Even Hua She'er, Queen Medusa's personal guard captain, curiously spoke up: "I wonder, Leader Yin Shi, what do you know? Could you tell us?"
"The jade pendant is in Yun Shan's hands, and this Hai Bodong is also here. Our clan has no secrets left, so what can't be said?"
Yin Shi shook his head with a wry smile, recalling the events of the past:
"The half of the Legacy Jade Pendant in Yun Shan's possession actually belonged to our Serpent-People Clan's Queen, passed down through generations. It symbolizes the Queen's supreme status!"
"I don't know how, but over time, rumors spread that this jade pendant could help people break through their bottlenecks!"
"And at that time, the previous Queen succeeded in reaching the Dou Ancestor level, which further validated this speculation. Thus, the strong individuals from several major empires joined forces to attack our clan!"
"So that's how it was!"
Hai Bodong's expression darkened, and he angrily pointed at Yun Shan, shouting:
"You old man, you spread this information to several empires back then, all to get this jade pendant!"
"Heh~"
Yun Shan smiled indifferently.
"There are more people who want this jade pendant than just this old man!"
"That's right!"
Yin Shi continued, "Back then, whether it was the Chu Yun Empire, the Jin Yan Empire, or the Jia Ma Empire, they not only wanted to eliminate the threat of our Queen, but also wanted to obtain this jade pendant!"
"How ridiculous~"
The Serpent-People Clan's First Elder gave a wry smile. "Just a Legacy Jade Pendant caused our clan to fall into a disaster of annihilation, and the previous Queen was lost."
Hearing this, all the Serpent-People Clan members fell into a state of gloom.
Yue Mei raised her eyebrows in curiosity and asked:
"Then how did this jade pendant become incomplete?"
"Sigh..."
Yin Shi shook his head and sighed: "Although our clan's Queen advanced to become a Dou Ancestor on that day, she was outnumbered by the many strong individuals from the various empires, and her two fists couldn't withstand so many hands, so she split this jade pendant in two!"
"Split in two!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan'er immediately understood, and her large eyes immediately fell on Queen Medusa:
"Mother~ Could it be that this jade pendant is..."
"I don't know about this." Queen Medusa shook her head and said lightly.
"Your Highness Yan'er, Her Majesty the Queen really doesn't know about this!"
At this moment, the First Elder suddenly stood up, forcing a wry smile.
"Because our clan suffered a disaster, the jade pendant was split in two, given to two royal bloodlines. As long as one of them could survive, she would be the future Queen of our Serpent-People Clan!"
"But later, both royal bloodlines survived, yet one of them lost her jade pendant!"
"The reason for its loss was, naturally, because of him, that old dog Yun Shan!"
"Heh~"
Yun Shan, being stared at by a group of Serpent-People, sneered.
"I did indeed secretly seize the jade pendant that day, but who knew it was only half a piece!"
"So that's how it is!"
Queen Medusa's eyes narrowed slightly, as if a problem that had troubled her for many years had been solved.
Her cold eyes landed on the Four Elders, and she smiled faintly.
"So, when the time came to establish the Queen of our clan, you old geezers chose my sister, who held half a jade pendant, instead of me!"
"That's right."
Although they didn't want to admit it, since things had come to this, the Four Elders could only answer honestly.
The Serpent-People Clan's Great Elder shook his head helplessly and continued, "As for what happened later, you, Her Majesty the Queen, and Princess Yan'er, are already very clear. Princess Die left our clan for freedom, and naturally, Her Majesty the Queen took over her position."
"For the sake of Her Majesty's authority within our clan, the four of us, under Yin Shi's suggestion, concealed the matter of the Legacy Jade Pendant."
"Mhm."
Queen Medusa responded, not paying much attention to the matter.
It was just a jade pendant. Even without the jade pendant, she was still Queen Medusa!
"So…"
At this moment, Qi Yan'er looked at everyone with vacant eyes, her voice trembling as she questioned:
"Die, is she really my mother?"
"This..."
Pairs of eyes fell on the bewildered Qi Yan'er, all feeling heartbroken.
She was still just a child!
It couldn't be confirmed before, but now...
Queen Medusa's jade pendant was now in Yun Shan's hands, and Die's was in her father's!
Wasn't that proof enough? Die was the mother she had been searching for for so long!
The Four Elders didn't reply to Qi Yan'er, unwilling to hurt her feelings.
Yun Yun gently stroked Qi Yan'er's little head, tenderly embracing the little girl once more.
"Yan'er~ you still have me!"
"Let go of Yan'er!"
At this moment, Queen Medusa suddenly shouted sternly, snatching Qi Yan'er from Yun Yun's embrace.
"This Queen is Yan'er's mother!"
"Huh?"
Queen Medusa's words immediately shocked everyone, their mouths agape.
What's going on? Queen Medusa is Qi Yan'er's mother?
What exactly is happening here! "This…"
Xiao Xun'er and the others, who had just gone to comfort Qi Yan'er, were instantly stunned.
Could there be some unknown secret?
The Four Elders of the Serpent-People Clan raised their hands, feeling helpless, and said incredulously: "Your Majesty the Queen, you..."
"This Queen is Yan'er's mother!"
Queen Medusa spoke firmly, then her gaze fell on Qi Yan'er, whose eyes were filled with tears, and she said softly:
"Yan'er~ You've suffered so much all these years."
"..."
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!!
Everyone was shocked to see this scene of a mother recognizing her daughter! (⊙o⊙)?
Qi Yan'er was surprised, her big eyes blinking, not understanding:
"Mommy~ Are you really my mommy?"
