After collecting all the cultivation resources that Xiao Ling brought out, Qing Lin smiled at Xiao Ling and said, "Then Qing Lin would like to thank you, Young Master."
Seeing Qing Lin's obedient appearance, Xiao Ling was very satisfied. He nodded and said to Qing Lin: "Since you have agreed to leave the Desert Metal Mercenary Group with me, you should first tell my two cousins. After explaining it to them, I will take you to see my companion."
"Is it the transformed monster companion that the young master mentioned before? Qing Lin is really looking forward to becoming good friends with her." Qing Lin replied after hearing Xiao Ling's words.
Thinking of Zi Yan's appearance, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, that guy is very lively."
Xiao Ling touched Qing Lin's little head, then got up from the bed and said with a smile: "Let's go, I don't know where the two cousins are, take me there."
"Yeah." Qing Lin responded softly, and carefully followed Xiao Ling's steps.
Walking out of the room, the sunlight outside was shining down, making people feel warm all over. Although the desert was hot, it was early morning and the temperature of the sunlight was just not enough to make people feel hot.
Thinking that he was about to leave this place, Qing Lin muttered to herself, "I will be living outside with the young master in the future. I am really looking forward to it. I wonder if the young master's companion is really that easy to get along with? But since he is a transformed demon beast, he should not be prejudiced against me."
Walking inside the mercenary group with Qing Lin, whenever they met mercenaries, they would stop and greet Xiao Ling kindly. It seemed that they all knew Xiao Ling's identity.
However, when their eyes swept over Qing Lin standing aside, their smiles gradually faded, and some people's eyes even contained a hint of disgust.
In response to their expressions, Xiao Ling could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that these people also knew Qing Lin's identity.
The mercenaries on the edge of the desert all have an indelible blood feud with the snake people. Every time these mercenaries think of the little girl in front of them having the dirty snake people's blood flowing in her body, they can't help but reveal some disgust. This kind of emotion can hardly be suppressed by anything. This is the disgust caused by the long-standing hostility between humans and snake people.
Qing Lin, who has both human and snake blood, has endured discrimination and disgust from both sides. In fact, she is also an extremely innocent girl.
Along the way, following Xiao Ling, every time the disgusted looks from the people around her made Qing Lin's petite body tremble slightly, and her expression became more uneasy.
Reaching out and touching Qing Lin's head, Xiao Ling comforted him, "You are yourself, don't care about other people's opinions. When you become stronger, these people will be nothing more than ants, and can be destroyed in a snap of a finger. If you are unhappy with these people, although I can't do anything heavy for the sake of my two cousins, I still have ways to make them suffer for ten days or half a month."
Xiao Ling has experienced training in the Black Corner Region, and his personality is not as gentle as he appears. What he said just now was not a joke. If he can make Qing Lin understand and get rid of the inferiority complex in his heart, Xiao Ling will definitely teach these people a lesson without mercy.
Qing Lin followed him, and these mercenaries did not hide their disgust for Qing Lin at all. Xiao Ling did not believe that these people had not bullied Qing Lin in private.
Listening to Xiao Ling's words, Qing Lin stood there in a daze. After a long time, an inexplicable glow appeared on her cute and delicate face. Her pretty nose twitched slightly, and she raised her little face. In her emerald green pupils, three extremely thin green dots suddenly and silently emerged again.
But Qing Lin was still a kind-hearted girl. After hearing what Xiao Ling said, she quickly shook her head and replied, "The captain took me into the Desert Metal Mercenary Group and gave me a place to live. These people are all his subordinates. We cannot attack them because of Qing Lin's matter."
"Okay, then let these people go." Since Qing Lin didn't want him to take action, Xiao Ling had no plans to do so.
Now Qing Lin has not understood the true rules of the Dou Qi Continent, but after all she will experience more with me outside in the future, she will naturally understand some things.
…
After walking for a while, the two arrived at a martial arts training ground. Several mercenaries were sparring on the stage, while Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stood aside and watched.
Seeing Xiao Ling and Qing Lin approaching here, Xiao Ding was the first to speak: "Cousin Xiao Ling, how was your rest?"
Nodding, Xiao Ling replied: "I rested very comfortably, but you got up quite early, cousin."
After Xiao Ling exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, they began to talk about Qing Lin.
He pointed at Qing Lin who was a little shy beside him and said to Xiao Ding: "I have already discussed it with Qing Lin, and she has agreed to stay with me. I came here to inform you, cousin. After my companion wakes up, I will take Qing Lin and the two of us to leave the Desert Metal Mercenary Group together."
Xiao Ding nodded when he heard this. Although he was from Wutan City and did not hate the snake people as much as the people living in the Tager Desert, he did not have any prejudice against Qing Lin.
But he didn't take any special care of Qing Lin. He just felt sorry for her and took her back to the mercenary group. Xiao Ling wanted to take her away, and Xiao Ding didn't care too much.
He just said some polite words, "Then cousin Xiao Ling, Qing Lin will be left to your care. Don't let Qing Lin be bullied outside..."
After giving the instructions, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin left the place. He asked Qing Lin to go back to her room to pack her luggage, while he went to Zi Yan's bedroom.
Seeing that Zi Yan was still sleeping, Xiao Ling had no intention of going in to disturb her.
As if sensing Xiao Ling's presence, Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes.
She looked towards the door and saw Xiao Ling leaning against the door stand, looking at her with interest.
She stammered and said hello: "Xiao Ling... good... morning."
Seeing Zi Yan's dazed look, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "I'll wait for you in the living room. Remember to clean up when you get up. I'll introduce you to a new friend."
After saying that, Xiao Ling turned around and walked back to the living room and sat on a wooden chair.
Taking out the Coke bottle, Xiao Ling drank a full cup and immediately felt much better. However, the Coke was at room temperature, so Xiao Ling was not very satisfied.
"It's a pity that I don't know how to use ice-attributed Dou Qi. Otherwise, it would be so refreshing to drink a glass of iced cola on the edge of this hot desert. When we get to Black Rock City, I'll need Hai Bodong's help."
