Chapter 65: Snake Tribe Yue Mei
"Big brother, I'm done washing." Qinglin came out of the tent with a blushing face inside the Vast Sea protective shield.
At this moment, the dirt on Qinglin's body had been washed away, revealing a fair and delicate oval face. The worn coarse linen clothes on his body had also been changed, and Xiao Se's original green top was put on.
Looking at Qinglin, who wore her top as a short skirt, with two jade-white calves exposed under the skirt, Xiao Se felt as if he was seeing a loli from the Japanese anime on Blue Star in his previous life wearing an uncle's white shirt. He silently repeated to himself three times: I'm not a Lolita complex, I'm not a Lolita complex, I'm not a Lolita complex.
Then he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Qinglin, I don't have any clothes that fit you. You'll have to wait a few days for your clothes."
"No, no. Big brother's clothes are very good. They are the best clothes Qinglin has ever worn, and..." Qinglin hurriedly shook her head, and pondered for a moment, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, and she murmured in a low voice: "And big brother's clothes smell good."
"Really? If it smells good, I'll give it to you." Hearing Qinglin's low voice, Xiao Se showed a wicked smile on his face and teased.
"Ah," Qinglin did not expect Xiao Se's hearing to be so amazing. His face turned red and he went back into the tent.
Seeing Qinglin's shy look, Xiao Se smiled and shook his head, took out a bag of dried meat and a pot of water from his ring, and said, "Okay, you must be hungry, come and have something to eat."
As soon as the words fell, a faint gurgling sound was heard in the tent. Covering his little face, Qinglin crawled out of the tent.
"Eat it." Xiao Se handed a piece of dried meat to Qing Lin. This was beef from the first-level magical beast Qing Niu. After being roasted and seasoned by Xiao Se with beast fire, it had been stored in the system warehouse and was usually used to satisfy one's cravings.
"Ouch. This jerky is so delicious." Qinglin said in an unclear voice while biting the jerky.
"Really? If it's delicious, eat more. There's still a lot of it." Xiao Se smiled, handed over the kettle, and then took a piece to eat.
A half-pound piece of dried meat was quickly devoured by Qinglin, who then gulped down a mouthful of water before heaving a sigh of relief and smiling, "Big brother, I'm full."
"Really? As long as you're full." Xiao Se smiled and put the remaining dried meat into a storage ring, then handed it to Qing Lin, smiling and saying, "The environment in the desert is too harsh, and your delicate skin and flesh can't stand it. When we are on the road, I will put you into a special storage bag that can hold living things. This storage ring is for you. It contains enough food and water, which should be enough for you to eat for a while. If you are hungry, you can take it out and eat."
Then Xiao Se added: "Remember to wear it on the ring finger of your left hand."
"Thank you, big brother." Hearing this, Qinglin felt a little sweet in his heart. He took the ring with a smile and put it on his ring finger very obediently.
But after putting on the ring, a trace of melancholy appeared on Qinglin's pretty face again.
"What's wrong, Qinglin? If you don't like it, you can wear it on other fingers." Seeing the subtle changes in Qinglin's expression, Xiao Se smiled faintly.
Qing Lin shook her head, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she said hesitantly: "Qing Lin doesn't know how to use the storage ring."
"You haven't practiced before?" Xiao Se suddenly realized that to use the ring, he had to at least practice Dou Qi, otherwise he couldn't use it. Qing Lin was a child from the slums, who would teach her to practice?
"Yeah." Qing Lin nodded slightly, and asked hesitantly: "Big brother, is Qing Lin useless?"
"It's okay. Not everyone is born with the ability to practice. You just can't be taught by anyone. I will teach you to start with the practice of fighting spirit later." Xiao Se rubbed Qing Lin's little head and said with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Se's words, Qing Lin's lowered green eyes flashed with joy and touched, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother!"
Smiling and nodding, Xiao Se took out the map given by Hai Bodong and began to check the next location.
Deep in the Tagor Desert, the holy city of the snake people.
A female snake-man soldier wearing armor twisted her snake tail and walked quickly into the holy city of the snake-man.
Soon, the soldier stopped in front of an old snake man and a charming snake woman.
"Elder Yinshi, Commander Yuemei." The snake woman bowed to the two snake men.
"What happened, Sheyi? Why are you acting in such a hurry?" Yue Mei frowned and said.
"Commander Yue Mei, Miss Yue'er knew that we were coming to the Holy City, so she followed us secretly. However, she was captured by humans on the way." The snake girl said in an urgent voice.
"Damn it." Yue Mei cursed softly upon hearing that, raised her jade hand, and said, "Come on, follow me to save people."
Yue'er is the most talented person in Yue Mei's tribe. She is Yue Mei's only disciple and also the successor trained by Yue Mei for the tribe. She must not be allowed to fail.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, several snake women around twisted their tails and straightened their bodies.
"Elder Yinshi, Yuemei will take her leave first." Yuemei bowed to Yinshi. He was the oldest of the snake people and dedicated his whole life to protecting the snake people. Even the snake people's queen Medusa respected him very much, so Yuemei couldn't help but respect him.
"Go, saving people is important. Queen, I will explain it." Yin Shi waved his hand and sighed.
At this moment, another snake girl ran in quickly, "Commander Yue Mei, Miss Yue Er has returned."
Hearing this, Yue Mei was slightly stunned. How could he come back by himself when she hadn't even set out yet? Then she stood there and waited quietly.
Not long after, a rather young and immature-looking snake woman came over gracefully, swinging her snake tail, followed by three adult snake women.
"Teacher, I thought I would never see you again." The young snake girl's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she threw herself into Yue Mei's arms with a crying voice.
Yue Mei was about to scold her, but when she heard the young snake girl cry, her heart softened instantly. She stroked her back and said softly, "Tell me, Yue'er, what's going on?"
Hearing this, the snake girl called Yue'er wiped the tears from her eyes and said with red eyes: "I learned from my tribe that you were coming to the Queen today, so I secretly followed you with a few guards. But we met the bad guys who captured snake people on the way, and I and the guards were all captured."
"How do you usually take care of Yue'er? Can you afford the consequences if something happens?" Upon hearing Yue'er's words, Yue Mei flew into a rage and yelled at the three snake women who were kneeling on the ground beside her.
"Lady Yue Mei, please forgive me. Lady Yue Mei, please forgive me." Seeing Yue Mei getting angry, the three snake women begged for mercy.
"Teacher, don't blame them. I ran away on my own, and there was a fighting master among that group of bad guys. The three of them were also caught to protect me." Seeing Yue Mei getting angry, Yue'er pleaded hurriedly.
