Goku reached out excitedly, extending both hands toward the snake woman's tail. He was genuinely curious—what would it feel like to touch a lamia's tail?
Cool to the touch, yet smooth and supple, with a softness that was surprisingly pleasant—especially in the scorching desert heat, where holding such a beautiful snake woman in his arms would definitely be a luxury worth savoring.
Despite being a snake's tail, it didn't feel disgusting at all. On the contrary, it had a strange, alluring charm. The skin was silky smooth, almost creamy in texture. Goku found himself fondling and kneading it instinctively, reluctant to let go. No wonder humans were so obsessed with capturing female members of the Snake-People Tribe to sell!
The snake woman flushed slightly from Goku's touch, her breathing quickening. Her eyes shimmered with an alluring gleam, though hidden deep within them was a trace of disgust. Clearly, Goku's behavior had further tarnished her already poor impression of humans.
Goku, sensing her change in mood, awkwardly withdrew his hands and chuckled, "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not into anything weird. I was just curious about what your tail felt like. Gotta say though, it feels amazing."
Seeing that Goku's expression wasn't faked, the snake woman's demeanor eased a bit. "If you like, you may continue. Her Majesty the Queen instructed me to treat you well—no matter what your request, I must fulfill it." When she said any request, her tone deepened slightly, and her eyes didn't leave Goku's face, watching for any change in expression.
To her surprise, Goku didn't seem interested in her flirtation at all. Instead, he turned away, walked to the palace doorway, and peeked outside. His eyes lit up as he gazed at the snake women patrolling nearby, their tails swaying and hips twisting seductively.
"Hey, beauties! Care to join me for a cup of tea?" Goku stood at the palace entrance, waving energetically at the patrolling snake women. But they only shot him cold glances before flat-out ignoring him.
"They're the Medusa Guard, handpicked by Her Majesty. You think they'd abandon their posts just because of a few sweet words?" A sweet fragrance wafted in as a familiar snake woman, Hua She'er, walked down a corridor toward him. Behind her, several other snake women followed, each carrying an elegant tray filled with delectable dishes. The aroma alone stirred Goku's appetite.
"You're Hua She'er, right? So you went to prepare dinner for us!" Goku's eyes lit up. He followed the snake women back into the grand hall. As he eyed the table full of food, he couldn't help but swallow hungrily. He reached for the chopsticks and made to grab a bite—
Smack! In a blur, Hua She'er's slender hand struck his away. She glared at him, clearly displeased. "Her Majesty hasn't arrived yet! How dare you start eating without permission?"
Goku put the chopsticks down and gave Hua She'er a once-over before smiling faintly. "You know, you're the first woman who's dared to treat me like that. But since you're a beauty, I'll let it slide. And besides, you're not wrong—it's rude to eat alone. I'll wait."
With that, he turned and wandered back to the doorway, admiring the scenery again. Watching one stunning snake woman after another slither by, tails swaying and hips undulating—it was a true visual feast.
As Goku's gaze finally left her, Hua She'er let out a quiet sigh of relief. But her heart was still pounding. She looked toward the entrance with a nervous glance and wiped a bead of sweat from her brow.
'As expected… anyone brought here by Her Majesty isn't simple. Just one glance, and it felt like my hairs stood on end. That man… he's terrifying!'
"I'm bored, Hua She'er. I'm going out for a stroll. I'll be back soon, so don't follow me," Goku called out nonchalantly as he stepped out of the grand hall.
"Wait! This is Her Majesty's palace—you can't just wander around!" Hua She'er shouted after him and was about to give chase, only to be held back by a fellow snake woman.
"Captain Hua She'er, let it go. Her Majesty gave me a voice transmission earlier. She said to let him go wherever he wants. We're not to stop him."
"Her Majesty really gave such an order? Who in the world is this man?" Hua She'er frowned in disbelief.
"…I'm not sure either," the other snake woman replied, shaking her head with a similarly confused look in her eyes.
As Goku wandered around the palace, he quickly noticed that the area was populated entirely by female snake people. Not a single male in sight—not surprising, since this was Cai Lin's residence. Male Snake-People were probably forbidden here altogether.
The other snake women gave him wide berth. Although none of them confronted him directly, their eyes were filled with hostility. The only reason they hadn't attacked him was likely because Cai Lin had brought him here.
"Human! You may be Her Majesty's honored guest, but you'd best not wander too far. If you accidentally trespass where you shouldn't and get arrested, don't say we didn't warn you." A captain of the guards stepped up beside him, her gaze frosty, the disdain in her tone unmistakable.
Goku shrugged and ignored her. He knew full well how much the Snake-People hated humans. The fact that they hadn't attacked him was already a courtesy, no doubt due to Cai Lin's protection. Out of respect for her, he didn't press the issue either and continued his stroll.
Before long, he came upon a serene courtyard. It was unusually quiet, with no guards in sight. A soft fragrance lingered in the air, drawing his attention. As he stepped in, he saw a crystal-clear pool in the center. A few garments were draped over the branches of a nearby tree.
Goku's senses tingled, and he turned toward one corner of the pool—only to spot a lithe, flawless figure partially submerged in the water. A long snake tail rippled gently beneath her, making her look like a mermaid playing in the pool.
"…Oh, come on! This is such a cliché!" Goku muttered, scratching his chin with a wicked grin. "Do I watch… or not? That is the question."
After a moment's hesitation, he finally decided to leave. This was Cai Lin's territory—if she found out he was peeking at her people bathing, her favorability would plummet. That would be a real problem.
Just as he turned to go—
"Who's there?! Didn't I say, no one is allowed here without my permission—except for Her Majesty!"
Too late.
Splash! A figure burst out from the pool and rose to the edge.
Her body was flawless, and completely exposed in front of Goku, who instantly froze in place.
---
Beside the pool stood a woman with a voluptuous figure. She flicked her long, wet hair, sending droplets flying. The strands clung to her snow-white shoulders, water sliding down her flawless skin, dripping over her narrow waist and pooling at her feet.
Her body was breathtaking, her features alluring, her chest full and pert, her waist toned yet flexible. One could only imagine the curves she'd create in bed. Her green snake tail swayed seductively, radiating wild temptation. Even Goku, no stranger to beauty, felt his blood stir.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Goku chuckled, "Hey, I was just passing by, alright? Let's pretend this never happened, cool? Bye now!"
The seductive snake woman stared at him with eyes like rippling spring water. She giggled, covering her mouth with a delicate hand. "A human? Hmm… you're quite the strong and handsome one. So, you saw me naked and now you think you can just walk away?"
"I didn't see anything! I'm blind, totally blind. Okay, maybe I'm lying, but you should believe me!" Goku grinned sheepishly, sneaking one last glance at her tempting body.
"Oh? You've got a silver tongue." Her smile remained, but her lips parted—and a stream of green venom shot out like an arrow straight at Goku!
Her words were soft, like a lover's whisper—but her attack was ruthless and deadly. A normal person would be dead or disfigured by such poison.
Goku calmly tilted his head, dodging the shot. The venom hit a small tree behind him, instantly withering it to dust.
His brows furrowed. He looked at the beautiful yet vicious woman—completely naked, and not even trying to cover herself—and his impression of her plummeted.
"I came here by accident. Don't push it. I don't care if you're a woman—if you cross the line, I won't hold back."
"Oh? That temper... I like it." The snake woman smiled seductively, lifting her slender fingers and twirling them like she was dancing. Suddenly, a chilling wind blasted toward Goku from behind!
He flickered to the side. A flash of movement streaked past him, and he reached out, catching a shadow in midair. It was a colorful little snake, barely palm-sized—but its head was triangular, fangs exposed and dripping venom. Clearly deadly.
"What a vicious woman." Goku sighed and crushed the snake's head in one hand, tossing the corpse at her feet. "Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I'll go easy on you. Time for you to learn why you shouldn't fight with strangers."
The snake woman blinked in surprise, then gave him a new look of appreciation. "Impressive… You humans love making our snake women into slaves, right? Maybe I should make you mine instead. I promise you'll enjoy every second of it."
"Make me your slave?" Goku stared, then burst out laughing. "Hah! That's rich! Someone still dares to say they want to enslave me?"
Just then, a team of snake guards rushed in.
"Lady Yue Mei! This human is Her Majesty's honored guest! You cannot harm him!"
"I know he's her guest. Otherwise, why would a mere human be allowed in our palace? I was going to report this to Her Majesty after my bath… but this guy snuck in to peek on me! The nerve!" Yue Mei huffed, and without shame, began dressing in front of everyone, her movements confident and unhurried.
As she clothed herself, her seductive aura only intensified.
Goku raised an eyebrow. "So she's Yue Mei? The same Yue Mei from the original story who tried to enslave Xiao Yan? Hah… this is interesting."
"You may have seen my body, but don't think you'll get away with it so easily," Yue Mei said, eyes glittering with mischief. "I'll report this to Her Majesty and ask her to gift you to me. Don't worry, I'll take very good care of you."
"Oh? I'll be looking forward to it," Goku smirked. If she was going to mess with him, he wouldn't sit still either.
"Hmph. Come with me to see Her Majesty. This is no place to wander." Yue Mei tossed him a glance and turned to leave, her hips swaying and green tail trailing behind her. Her status now revealed, she had no reason to press the matter further.
Goku followed with interest. He was eager to see how this drama would unfold when Yue Mei met Cai Lin.
Inside the grand hall, Cai Lin and the other women had just finished dressing in luxurious robes, each of them radiant and elegant.
Seeing Goku and Yue Mei enter together, Cai Lin raised an eyebrow. "Perfect timing. I was about to send someone to find you."
Before Yue Mei could speak, Goku stepped forward with a mischievous grin. "This Yue Mei here said she found me pleasing to the eye and wanted to make me her slave. She's here to get your permission."
"WHAT?!" Moonlight, standing nearby, exploded with rage. Her battle aura surged as a wave of killing intent blasted toward Yue Mei. In her heart, Goku was her most respected master—how could anyone insult him like that? If Goku hadn't grabbed her hand, Yue Mei would've already been torn apart.
Even the little Sprite, who had been happily eating fruit on the table, looked up with a hostile glare. A terrifying aura began to radiate from her tiny body, saturating the entire hall and making Yue Mei's heart pound in fear.
Cai Lin's face darkened. She knew just how terrifying Goku's power was. Even without him, just the little Sprite was beyond anything the Snake-People could handle. For Yue Mei to try to enslave him?
If he got angry, the Snake-People might vanish from the continent.
Her expression turned icy. A chilling murderous intent surged toward Yue Mei. "Will you kill yourself, or shall I do it for you?"
Yue Mei went pale, trembling as fear gripped her heart. She hadn't expected this human to have such a terrifying status. Even Cai Lin wanted her dead—and that said everything.
She collapsed to her knees before Cai Lin, pleading. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I didn't know he was so important… Please, show mercy… Just this once…"
Her earlier confidence and seductive demeanor vanished, replaced by desperation and fear. She knew Cai Lin well—once she wanted someone dead, they rarely lived to regret it.
"The decision isn't mine—it's his," Cai Lin said coldly, turning to Goku. "It's up to you how to deal with her."
