The Battle Through Heaven
Qing Lin
On the night after Xiao Yan arrived at the Stone Desert City, Xiao Yan, who had never touched liquor made an exception and happily went to the liquor stall with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
The next day when Xiao Yan woke up from his sleep, his mind was clouded and his eyes were blurred open. He realized that the sky was clear. Rubbing his somewhat aching head, he tilted his head and observed the thin blanket on his body before he slowly sat down. After violently swinging his head, he smiled bitterly, crossed his legs and formed a training seal in his hand. He entered training mode and started to bring out the rest of the liquor in his body.
After practicing for a while, Xiao Yan gently flicked his finger and a thread of liquor vapor shot out from him.
As soon as he took out the alcohol from his body, Xiao Yan comfortably exhaled. He then opened his eyes gradually and once again restored the calmness he had.
"Ga Zhi."
Not long after Xiao Yan opened his eyes, the door of the room suddenly opened gently. A beautiful and beautiful figure entered quietly. However, when he saw Xiao Yan sitting on the bed, he was a little surprised and hurriedly bowed. In a timid voice, he asked, "Young Master Xiao Yan, are you up yet?"
The girl who entered the room did not look very old. From his appearance, it seemed like he was a little younger than Xiao Yan. She was wearing an elegant pale green dress. His body might be small, but it was strangely quite mature, only appearing slightly raw.
Her oval face was cute and smooth, like a beautiful porcelain doll. His shy attitude was like a rabbit in a state of anxiety, causing people to not be able to help but pity him.
Seeing this green-clothed girl for the first time, Xiao Yan was also confused. He then quickly gave her a friendly nod.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, I .. will I help you wash?" Placing the basin of water gently on the wooden shelf right beside the bed, the beautiful girl said in a soft voice as she anxiously stood by the bedside.
"Hehe, no need. I'll do it myself. " Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Yan got off the bed and came to the side of the wooden shelf. He randomly washed himself. Tilting his head to look at the girl's anxious attitude, he couldn't help but smile. "What's your name?" TL: Washing means washing your face/tooth
"Aah?" Hearing this, the girl became a little empty. He immediately said hesitantly, "I .. I am called Qing Lin."
Oh. Nodding, Xiao Yan took a face towel and wiped his face. After which, he threw the towel into the basin, facing the sky and inhaling fresh and cool air.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had finished his laundry, Qing Lin held the basin of water tightly and quickly headed outside.
Tilting his head and noticing the figure of the beautiful and small girl, Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly floated to the waist that someone wanted to embrace. He did not know why, but he felt that when the girl's narrow waist twisted, there was an unusual temptation it felt like a beautiful female snake charmingly swung her waist.
"Damn. What random thought I had .. "That silly thought caused Xiao Yan to laugh bitterly as he scolded himself. He returned to the side of the bed, gripped the handle of the great Heavy Xuan Ruler and lifted it with his strength. With a soft cry, he placed it on his shoulders. Xiao Yan lightly reflected his body and smiled. After a year of arduous training, he was currently already completely used to the burden of the Heavy Xuan Ruler. However, every time he unleashed the Heavy Xuan Ruler, his speed and strength would increase tremendously. Xiao Yan believed that while fighting with the opponent, this sudden increase in speed and strength would make the opponent off guard.
His palm grabbed the handle of the Heavy Xuan Ruler again and pulled him out. Following the sound of intense pressure, the wooden shelf beside him suddenly cracked due to the attack.
Looking at the broken wooden shelf, Xiao Yan opened his mouth and smirked before replacing the Heavy Xuan Ruler to his back.
"Ah ..." At the entrance, Qing Lin, who had just returned after clearing the water, could not hold a soft breath. After which, he hurriedly ran over, crouched down and picked up the clothes on the ground.
Observing the busy little girl, Xiao Yan smiled shyly. He apologized crouched down, stretched out his hand and was about to help pick up the fallen clothes when his changing gaze suddenly stopped on Qing Lin's snow-white wrist that had appeared from under his sleeve.
Snow-white wrists actually grow green color – snake scales?
His gaze looked at Qing Lin in surprise. Then, Xiao Yan's gaze involuntarily swept towards his feet, but he did not see the snake's tail. He could only see two small feet three inches long.
Qing Lin, who was tidying up her clothes suddenly raised her little face. When he saw Xiao Yan's shocked expression, he followed his gaze and slowly shifted downwards and finally stopped at the arm that he had accidentally revealed. Her cute face instantly turned white as she lowered her sleeves and carefully retreated two steps. After which, she hugged her little legs with her hands, leaned against the corner of the wall and crouched down. His little body also started to tremble.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." The little girl shivered as she hugged her little legs. Her timid voice caused a hint of anxiety and tears began to wash over her face.
Feeling the loss from the sensitive mood of the little girl, Xiao Yan sighed softly in his heart while staring at Qing Lin's timid demeanor. He had heard others mention that in the area near the Tager Desert, there would sometimes be human women who had a relationship with the Snake Man. According to logic, when a Snake-Human and a human are involved, it usually does not result in pregnancy. There is always an exception to everything. There is little chance that a woman who has a relationship with a Snake-People can get pregnant and eventually give birth …
Although a child will be born, babies with human blood and Snake blood usually have difficulty living until the age of two years. However, Qing Lin in front of Xiao Yan seemed to have already reached thirteen or fourteen years old. What the hell is going on?
Slowly moving to Qing Lin's side, Xiao Yan lowered his body and gently rubbed his hand against the little girl's head. After which, he held his hand under his terrified expression and carefully unfolded his sleeves. He looked at the green snake scales and suddenly said in a soft and gentle voice, "Beautiful scale."
Hearing this, the little girl's frightened expression became blank. Ever since he was born, Xiao Yan was the first to say that the scales, which even he himself feared, were beautiful …
In the trauma filled with weak little spirits, a strange feeling quietly appeared. Opening his eyes that slightly released an unusual and bewitching feeling, he timidly said, "Is Young Master not afraid?"
Gazing at Qing Lin's pair of wet eyes, Xiao Yan realized that it was a bit green. Moreover, on the inside of the pupil, there seemed to be three very small dark green dots hidden away.
Gazing intently at that somewhat evil dark green disciple, Xiao Yan suddenly felt somewhat dazed. A moment later, his heart suddenly shook and he immediately regained consciousness. A surprised expression faintly appeared on his face. What kind of demonic eye is this? Even with his Spiritual Strength, he actually became somewhat dazed?
With shock still remaining, Xiao Yan once again stared at the little girl's disciple. However, he was stunned when he realized that the three small dark green dots had actually disappeared.
"Don't tell me I saw something?" Xiao Yan muttered in a stunned voice. He shook his head violently and once again looked at the little girl for a moment. Other than her slightly green eyes, there seemed to be no small specks.
"Ugh .. It's most likely because I drank last night." Powerlessly shaking his head, Xiao Yan lowered Qing Lin's sleeves. After which, he helped her up and smiled as he looked at the shy girl who was at the height of her shoulders. Smiling, he apologized, "Sorry. I've scared you. "
Qing Lin hurriedly shook his head. His little hand was so anxious that he scrunched up the clothes in his hand. Since his birth, Xiao Yan was also the first person to apologize to him during these many years.
"Young Master, during this period, I will be your personal servant. If there is anything, you can instruct Qing Lin. " Qing Lin bowed and said gently.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He rubbed the little girl's head and asked with a smile, "Where's my brother?"
"Company Leaders Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had gone to arrange things in the Company. They told me that if Young Master wanted to find them, I can take you to the Meeting Room in the front yard. " Qing Lin said in a soft voice.
"Oh, since they're busy, forget it." Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Yan carried the Heavy Xuan Ruler and walked out. He smiled and said, "Let's go, show me around this Desert Metal Mercenary Company."
"Yes." Yeah." After responding gently, Qing Lin followed carefully.
When walking out of the room, the sunlight outside splashed down, causing one's body to feel extremely warm. Although the desert was very hot, it was still early in the morning, where the temperature of the sunlight had not reached the level that caused one to feel the heat.
While walking with Qing Lin within the inner region of the Mercenary Company, the mercenaries they met would stop and greet Xiao Yan kindly. It seemed that they all knew the identity of Xiao Yan.
However, when their gazes swept towards Qing Lin at the side, their smiles gradually grew cold. In some of their eyes, there was even a hint of disgust.
When faced with such expressions from them, Xiao Yan could only sigh helplessly. It seemed like Qing Lin's identity was something that these people also knew. Back when Xiao Yan became a useless flaw, he also received such treatment. This was an excuse for him to express mercy to the helpless and pitiful like Qing Lin. However, the Mercenary Company on the desert border all had blood feuds with the Snake-People that were hard to erase. Every time these mercenaries remembered that the little girl in front of them had the blood of the filthy Serpent People flowing within him, they would involuntarily display an expression of disdain. This kind of sentiment was something that could hardly be suppressed. This was a sense of disdain formed from the long conflict and hostility between humans and the Snake People.
Possessing both human blood and Snake-People at the same time, Qing Lin had to endure discrimination as an abomination from both sides. Thinking about it, she was the most innocent girl.
While she was following Xiao Yan's side along the way, Qing Lin's pretty little body would shiver slightly whenever a look of disdain was shot out from the surroundings. The cute little face that should have made many people glance in awe was filled with gloom.
Walking past the corner, Xiao Yan could not hold his breath. He slowly stopped, tilting his head towards Qing Lin whose face suddenly became uncomfortable due to his sigh. After pondering for a while, he softly said, "Qing Lin, don't be too aware of other people's gazes. What you need to remember is that you are not living for that other person. You live because of yourself! " After saying those words, Xiao Yan rubbed Qing Lin's head and continued walking into the distance.
With Xiao Yan's words, Qing Lin stood on the spot, puzzled. A long time later, a strange splendor appeared on her cute and charming face. Her pretty face gently sniffed. Raising her small face, the three small green-colored spots on the dark green-colored eyes suddenly appeared without a sound.
"Thank you, Young Master Xiao Yan"
After she gently muttered that sentence, Qing Lin's little face suddenly showed a smile filled with persuasion. After which, he walked over happily and caught up with the figure of the young man in front of him.
