Chapter 73: Cai Lin says Qing Lin is no good.
"This is the first time I've seen it. The scales on your wrist are quite beautiful."

Chu Xiao stepped forward to examine Qing Lin's wrist up close, smiled, and spoke in a gentle voice.

These words brought Old Wu back from hell to heaven, and he suddenly realized that his back was soaked with sweat.

This smiling young man gave him an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Beautiful!?"

Qinglin, whose life was filled with endless scorn and disgust, had clearly never heard such straightforward praise before.

Moreover, this praise was actually the root of her being disliked—those blue scales she wished she could eradicate.

How dreamy! Is this the gentleness of Young Master Chu Xiao?
"Ok?"

Qinglin looked up in disbelief, her eyes meeting Chu Xiao's.

As their eyes met, the latter felt a moment of disorientation, as if his soul had been drained away.

"How can it be!?"

Chu Xiao was secretly alarmed.

His soul is currently at the early stage of the mortal realm, and could reach the middle stage at any time.

Because visualization notes can enhance soul power, and Lei Gang Di Yan can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate on his own, he is currently in a state of dual-activation "cultivation cheat" at all times, and the soul power of most ordinary Dou Huang powerhouses is not as good as his.

However, Qinglin made him feel somewhat dazed even when she wasn't actively pursuing him, which would have been more likely after she awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

This talent, besides being able to enslave and control serpentine magical beasts, can also draw out the soul and seize control of the body of humans or other magical beasts.

"and many more!"

Chu Xiao suddenly realized that Qing Lin might have already awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

It's not impossible, after all, Qinglin seems to have already met with Cailin.

Moreover, the notes may benefit him, and they may also benefit the owners of the dungeon, such as unlocking a talent or something.

With this thought in mind, Chu Xiao decided to find an opportunity to test the waters.

“You are beautiful, how could you not be?” Chu Xiao said loudly, his hands behind his back, “Your appearance means either a male snake-man has taken a liking to a beautiful human woman, or a man has taken a liking to a beautiful snake-man.”

"Putting aside other things, snake-woman slaves are extremely expensive in the surrounding countries and are the exclusive property of the scions of powerful families."

"They even like snake people whose lower bodies are snake tails, so what you have is nothing special."

"Most of the people who dislike you are just following the trend and trying not to look different."

"Imagine if Queen Medusa were here, would anyone dare say that snake people with snake tails are disgusting?"

Chu Xiao not only said these words directly on the spot, but also embellished them and wrote them down in his notes.

Ultimately, this world still values ​​strength above all else. Qing Lin's mindset only gradually adjusted after he became a Dou Zun.

If I could do it all over again, I would help her build confidence from the very beginning, so she could live a confident and radiant life.

Girls:!
No wonder Qinglin is so devoted to you.

You can't resist such sweet talk. How can a naive and dark-skinned girl like you resist?
"What good luck! With just a few sweet words, I've gained a maid with exceptional talent," Feng Qing'er murmured softly.

She doesn't say who envies her.

"I understand the reasoning, but why use me as an example?" Medusa said, clearly unhappy.

As Qinglin heard these words and saw Chu Xiao's inner monologue appearing in the notes, she quickly lowered her head.

She really wanted to confront Chu Xiao directly; acting didn't seem to suit her.

I couldn't bring myself to do anything bad to Young Master Chu Xiao.

"Qinglin, right?" Chu Xiao's eyes softened. "I'll help you with your bag, and you take me to the headquarters of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group."

As he spoke, he reached out and stuffed the entire large bundle into his storage ring.

"Yes." Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to lead the way.

"Old man, you can continue with your work." Chu Xiao nodded to Old Wu and followed along with ease.

After he left, the surrounding crowd erupted into an even more heated discussion.

Chu Xiao's argument using the snake-man as an example displeased some people, but others seemed to break through some kind of mental block and expressed their agreement.

"Father, what are they discussing? I heard Qinglin's name mentioned."

After a short while, a woman who looked to be about twenty years old came to Old Man Wu's side.

She had exquisite features. Although she wasn't quite as stunningly beautiful as Qinglin, who hadn't yet fully blossomed, she was still very pretty. Her slightly arched eyebrows gave her a heroic air, and paired with her tanned bronze skin from years of living in the desert, her sexy waist, and her monster leather skirt, she was quite a sight to behold.

She is Xue Lan, a squad leader in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

She was also Old Wu's daughter, born in his later years!
"That's how it is," Old Wu said excitedly upon seeing his daughter, adding with a sigh, "If you had come earlier, you could have taken Young Master Chu Xiao to the headquarters of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. He's such a handsome young man, and he can kill a Dou Zhe in one move. He might be a Dou Shi like the group leader. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan shook her head helplessly.

This old man is good in every way, except that he always wants her to get married and have a grandson for him.

Now that he is a Fighter and holds a certain position within the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, he wouldn't act rashly.

"But that young master actually spoke up for Qinglin, so he must be a good person," Xue Lan thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiao was unaware that he had been inexplicably given the "friend zone" card. He followed Qing Lin leisurely, not in a hurry to strike up a conversation, but instead observing the scene on the street.

This fortified city, built in the desert, is more rustic and imposing than those cities within the empire, and its defenses are much more robust, with fully armed soldiers patrolling everywhere.

Old Wu's steamed bun shop was not far from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, located in the south of Shi Mo City. Chu Xiao followed Qing Lin and only turned a few streets before arriving at the gate of a large courtyard. From the outside, it was comparable in size to the Xiao family's.

For several days, flags have been flying above the courtyard gate, embroidered with the words "Mo Tie Mercenary Group," subtly revealing an aura of iron-blooded toughness.

Four burly men in matching uniforms stood at the entrance, weapons in hand, their sharp eyes sweeping across the street, clearly on high alert.

Upon seeing Qinglin return, their faces showed no extra expression; instead, they scrutinized Chu Xiao.

"Who are you?"

As soon as Chu Xiao approached, someone spoke up to ask a question.

"This is Young Master Chu Xiao, the younger brother of the leader. He just stepped in to protect Grandpa Wu from the Sand Mercenary Group," Qing Lin said, speaking before Chu Xiao could.

"Hmm?" Chu Xiao's slightly puzzled gaze fell on Qing Lin.

Oops!

Qinglin's heart pounded.

I don't think I'm the type of person who would rush to answer questions anymore.

Standing at the gate of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, I was questioned about my identity. Qinglin answered for me; it was a feeling both familiar and strange.

[In the future, Qinglin and I were used to this kind of relationship, but in this life, we've only just met. As a descendant of a snake-person and a human, she grew up surrounded by prejudice and only knew how to apologize to anyone or anything. She was so quiet she was almost mute. Yet now she's actually doing this for me, which is beyond my expectations.]

Chu Xiao wrote in his notes.

These words, however, caused some people's expressions to change.

"This Qinglin sister probably also has a copy of the notes."

In Qingshan Town, the little fairy doctor, who had already begun her daily practice, suddenly had a glint in her beautiful eyes.

It is known that Ya Fei and Yun Yun have copies of the notes, Xun Er most likely does, and Medusa is just waiting to be confirmed.

It seems that the original trajectory had a close relationship with Chu Xiao, and the women he mentioned in his diary all had a copy of the notes.

She vaguely figured something out, but felt that the guess was too one-sided and had many flaws.

"We should be able to become good friends." Little Fairy Doctor's eyes held a gentle smile.

Both had tragic childhoods; Qinglin was constantly disliked by outsiders, while she was plagued by self-doubt and self-loathing.

Both women found warmth and redemption after meeting Chu Xiao.

She was the one who accompanied him for the longest time, and as Qinglin's maid, she was probably no less capable.

"But it seems she's about to give herself away." A look of worry flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

The subtle changes in her facial expressions made the mercenary he was treating appear ugly.

I just casually ate some herbs to try and get a chance to see a doctor. Could it be that I have contracted an incurable disease?
Meanwhile, in the city of Utan.

Ya Fei and Yun Yun are drinking together inside the auction house.

Seeing this, they all tensed up, feeling that Qinglin was about to be exposed.

This younger sister's life experiences from childhood to adulthood suggest that she lacks life experience and composure, making it difficult for her not to slip up in front of Chu Xiao.

"This is terrible."

On the other side, above the Stone Desert City.

Medusa's eyes flashed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I did not insist on returning to the snake people tribe."

"Little Green Scale is indeed unreliable."
