Chapter 49 Qinglin
In the Shimo City, the City Lord's Mansion.
No one would have thought that the Shimo City's City Lord's Mansion, located on the border of the Gama Empire and facing the danger of war at any time, is now extremely lively, with music, toasts, dancers, and an atmosphere of indulgence and enjoyment. There is no
sense of tension in the border city at all. Xiao Yun sat on the chair, concentrating on eating the food in front of him, completely ignoring the dancers in the hall. Beside him, Hai Bodong was watching intently, laughing from time to time.
It must be said that the Lord of Stone Desert City is a very enthusiastic person. When Hai Bodong brought Xiao Yun to ask for help, he showed some strength, and he insisted on giving them a whole welcoming ceremony. Then, it turned into the scene in front of him.
Seeing Hai Bodong and the Lord of Stone Desert City looking like they had met too late, Xiao Yun covered his face with his hands in silence. Sometimes he really wondered if Hai Bodong had stayed in the desert for too long and his brain was full of sand. He was only thirteen years old, but he was brought here to see this kind of scene. If a young man can't hold back his anger, it will affect his physical development!
"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed. You will see this kind of scene in the future. I am just showing you a preview."
Seeing Xiao Yun's actions, Hai Bodong thought that young people had never seen such a scene before, so he became shy and laughed.
"Mad, do you really think I am a child? Are you showing me this or are you preparing it for yourself?"
Xiao Yun said unhappily. This kind of scene was just a common occurrence for him in his previous life. He had seen more popular scenes than this, so why would he be embarrassed?
"It's all the same, all the same! Besides, do you think I'm just lustful? I haven't forgotten the main thing. I've already told the city lord about the appearance of the little girl you're looking for. I believe there will be a result soon. I've fought all my life, so what's wrong with enjoying myself?"
"Haha." Xiao Yun sneered and didn't respond to Hai Bodong. He was sure that the old man was really pent up.
Thinking so in his heart, looking at the dancer's body twisting like a water snake, there was a different kind of charm in her every frown and smile, which almost made the hot-blooded Xiao Yun unable to control himself. He
wiped his palm on the ring, and a tranquilizing pill was taken out and swallowed.
Well, I can control myself now.
Just as Xiao Yun continued to eat the food in front of him, a soldier suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry and whispered a few words in the ear of the city lord. The latter's face changed, and his originally smiling expression became more serious. He waved his hand, and the dancers in the middle of the field stopped their movements and respectfully left the hall.
"Hahaha, Bing Lao, you have found the little girl you want to find. She is now in the front yard."
The city lord laughed loudly, and then wanted his men to bring the little girl into the hall.
"No need, I'll go over and take a look." Xiao Yun stood up. He had wanted to leave for a long time. Now that Qing Lin had been found, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.
"This..." The city lord looked at Hai Bodong with some uncertainty, hesitantly. In his eyes, Xiao Yun was just the younger generation of Bing Lao. How could a younger generation make a decision without waiting for the elders to speak?
"Hahaha, let him go. Young people just can't control their temper. Let's continue watching the dance." Hai Bodong said with a smile. Although he didn't know why Xiao Yun was looking for the little girl, he could see the importance of the little girl to Xiao Yun.
"Okay, then listen to Bing Lao. Come on, continue playing music and dancing!"
...
On the other side, Xiao Yun walked to the front yard and saw the little girl standing quietly outside the pavilion from a distance. Her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, and her body was trembling slightly, showing her inner tension and fear.
With her head lowered, although her face could not be seen, everyone who saw her could feel the fragility from inside out. Xiao Yun knew her life experience, so he could not help but want to protect the girl in front of him. The
little girl did not understand why she was brought here. Those fierce soldiers only told her that this was the City Lord's Mansion. In her cognition, the City Lord's Mansion was a scary place. When the children who bullied her mentioned this name, they would show fear on their faces.
Is it because of the snake blood in my body that they want to torture me?
The little girl thought fearfully, she did not know what kind of pain she would face and what kind of torture she would suffer.
Just as she was getting more and more scared, she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a young man in black robes walking towards her with a warm smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
A gentle and pleasant voice came out of the young man's mouth. After hearing it, the little girl seemed to have a magic power and stopped fantasizing and her body stopped shaking slightly.
"This...this young master, did you ask me to come?" The little girl spoke with a trembling voice, looking pitiful.
"Yes, it's me." Xiao Yun slowly approached the little girl, stopped when he was one meter away from her, and smiled: "My name is Xiao Yun, do you have your own name?"
"Young Master, my name is Qing Lin." As if infected by Xiao Yun's gentle attitude, Qing Lin's voice was no longer trembling, and he spoke crisply.
"Qinglin, what a good name. Let's sit down and talk." Xiao Yun waved his hand, motioning her to follow him to sit under the pavilion. After they sat down, he said, "Qinglin, come closer." After
hesitating for a moment, Qinglin slowly walked forward and stood in front of Xiao Yun.
He carefully looked at Qinglin's somewhat shy face, or more precisely, at her eyes. He
stared closely at Qinglin's pair of watery eyes, and saw three very tiny green dots deep in the slightly green pupils.
"It's indeed the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils." Xiao Yun thought to himself, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion is quite accurate in finding people.
"Young Master..." Suddenly, Qinglin's childish voice rang out, interrupting Xiao Yun's thoughts.
Looking at that lovely and delicate face, which was already filled with shyness and turned red, Xiao Yun realized that he had been looking at her for a long time.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Touching Qinglin's little head, Xiao Yun smiled gently.
Qinglin was a little stunned when she heard Xiao Yun's words. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time that someone did not discriminate against her and apologized to her. In the past, she was the only one who apologized to others.
Water mist quickly appeared in her green eyes, and Qinglin whispered: "No... It's okay, Master, you don't have to apologize to Qinglin."
"Hey, don't be afraid, just follow me in the future, no one will dare to bully you again!" Seeing Qinglin's look, her heart softened, and Xiao Yun said with some pity.
"Young Master, won't you hate me?"
"Why should I hate you? Just because you have the blood of a snake man? It's not a fault to have the blood of a snake man, and it's not something you can choose. How could I hate you for this?" Xiao Yun smiled gently, rubbing Qinglin's little head.
"Moreover, you have a very strong talent for cultivation. Your pupils are called the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, and they are the nemesis of almost all snake-shaped monsters. You can sign a master-servant contract with them and thus control them. This is a very powerful talent and physique."
"Also, you can absorb them into the space opened up by the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils. The snake-shaped monsters sucked into the space will be slowly devoured by you, thereby driving up your cultivation."
"In the future, you will also become a very powerful figure and you will be able to protect yourself." After Xiao Yun introduced Qing Lin to her own talents, he smiled and said, "In that case, are you still willing to follow me?"
"Yeah." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Qing Lin nodded vigorously. Although she didn't know if what he said was true, as Xiao Yun was the first person who treated her equally, she was willing to believe whatever he said.
"Master, I am willing to follow you."
"Don't call me Master in the future, call me Brother." Seeing Qing Lin nodded in agreement, Xiao Yun was also very happy. He stood up and said, "Let's go, brother will take you to eat delicious food."
"Brother?" Qing Lin whispered softly, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her little face. She took the hand handed over by Xiao Yun. The warm palm wrapped around her little hand and moistened her scarred little heart.
...
"Is this the little girl you are looking for?" Looking at Xiao Yun and the other person who walked into the hall hand in hand, Hai Bodong was a little surprised.
Qing Lin's appearance was not very good now. In order to bring her here as quickly as possible, the people in the City Lord's Mansion did not take her to clean up. Therefore, Qinglin, who was wearing shabby clothes and had some dirt on her body, looked a little out of place at this banquet.
"Yes, this is my sister, her name is Qinglin." Xiao Yun took Qinglin's little hand and sat down next to Hai Bodong, and then said, "Qinglin, this is Hai Lao, your brother's friend." "
Hello, Hai Lao." Faced with such a scene, the self-abased Qinglin couldn't help but feel a little scared, and kept hiding behind Xiao Yun.
"Eat, don't be afraid, your brother is here." Xiao Yun comforted Qinglin while stroking her little head.
Qinglin's little face became a little red, and no one had ever done such an intimate action to her before, but Xiao Yun did it several times today, which made her feel a different kind of emotion in her heart.
Picking up the chopsticks, looking at the various delicacies in front of him that he had never seen before, Qinglin secretly swallowed his saliva and slowly ate.
