Xiao Yan's Change in Mindset
Just as Mo Tang encountered the snake woman Yue Mei deep in the desert, dozens of miles away from Stone Desert City in the desert.
At the edge of an Underground Magma World completely surrounded by lava...
Dressed in blue robes, with blue gemstone bracers around her wrists, Qing Lin watched the enormous two-headed fire serpent rushing towards her, her heart completely filled with fear...
"Ah!"
Within those crystal-clear emerald eyes, the scarlet forked tongue of the snake grew ever larger. Driven by fear, Qing Lin let out a high-pitched, piercing scream.
As the high-pitched scream rang out, three small green dots suddenly appeared beside Qing Lin's emerald pupils...
As the eerie green flower appeared, a burst of intense, ghostly light suddenly shot out from it, directly enveloping the massive Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
The moment it was illuminated by this somewhat eerie light, the Fire Spirit Snake's massive body suddenly stiffened, and its two enormous eyes stared at the little girl in front of it with a hint of fear.
An eerie, ghostly light slowly moved across the Fire Spirit Snake's body, finally stopping at the center of its two heads' foreheads and beginning to shrink. In the end, it transformed into two small green flowers, which were imprinted on the Fire Spirit Snake's two heads...
Beside him, Xiao Yan, who was already in a bit of a rush to help, frowned slightly, wondering what had just happened.
However, all of this caused the well-informed Old Yao to exclaim in surprise.
"Huh? This is... the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!"
Xiao Yan paused slightly as he raised his foot.
To be honest, he felt some sympathy for the poor girl in front of him. In addition, she had helped him find the place where the Green Lotus Core Flame might appear. If he could save her, he would be willing to help.
Unfortunately, that terrifying fire serpent was a Fourth-Order Magical Beast, comparable to Dou Ling expert. He had no power to fight back, so he could only watch helplessly as it charged towards Qing Lin ...
"Teacher, what is the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
"Well, how should I put it..."
This is a rather peculiar type of naturally occurring pupil, which seems to only appear in the offspring of humans and Snake-People.
People with this type of pupil, when skilled enough, can induce hallucinations in others...
Imagine you're in a fight. Suddenly, your opponent is momentarily disoriented, or worse, they start attacking their own comrade. How would that feel?
The Old Yao explained to Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Uh... is it really that scary?"
Thinking of that scene, Xiao Yan grinned and wiped away a cold sweat.
"Hehe, this isn't even the most powerful aspect of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils..."
"What? This isn't even the strongest part?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hmph, what do you know, kid?"
At this moment, the Old Yao sighed and said, "Do you know that this kind of pupil is almost the nemesis of all snake-shaped Demonic Beast!"
Because it has a certain probability of forming a one-sided, forced connection with the serpentine Demonic Beast ...
Well, you can think of this forced connection as some kind of mysterious contract that exists in very few places in this world.
Even more terrifying is that this forced connection ignores class differences...
Just imagine, a little girl whose cultivation level isn't even that of Dou Zhe, yet suddenly has a fourth or even fifth-tier snake -Demonic Beast as her guard—how absurd is that!
Listening to Old Yao's words, Xiao Yan glanced at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that was still frozen in place, and a hint of jealousy crept into his heart...
Old Yao seemed to sense Xiao Yan's change in mindset and immediately chuckled, "Hehe, little guy, sometimes even I have to marvel at your luck..."
"This young girl has suffered greatly since childhood, and she is currently at a vulnerable emotional stage. Moreover, I've noticed that she seems to have a good impression of you. If you can seize this opportunity to get closer to her... then in the future, you will gain an invaluable helper!"
The moment he heard Old Yao's words, Xiao Yan's gaze turned fervent...
"Teacher, isn't it a bit too despicable to scheme against a little girl like this..." Xiao Yan said hesitantly.
The Old Yao: "So you're planning to give up?"
"No!"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan blurted out the word.
"Anyway, this won't do Qing Lin any harm. I think deep down she really wants someone to take care of her and acknowledge her..."
"In that case, I'll take on this role!"
"Hehe..."
With a soft chuckle from the Old Yao, the conversation between the master and his disciple came to an end.
This wasn't because the master and apprentice were acting insidiously; rather, any normal person in this situation would make the wisest choice...
Little did they know, a pervert like Mo Cheng was actually thinking of gouging out the girl's eyes and putting them on himself...
You've been watching too much Naruto!
As the eerie light enveloping the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake gradually faded, the tiny flowers in Qing Lin's pupils quickly receded, returning to their original emerald green in an instant.
Her body trembled slightly, and just as she was about to collapse from exhaustion...
A green glow emanated from the wrist guards on her hands, and a strange energy surged into her body, suddenly filling her previously weak and small frame with power once again.
Feeling the comfortable sensation coming from her wrist, Qing Lin couldn't help but gently stroke the blue gemstone wristband with her palm...
"Grown ups..."
Thinking of that man's handsome face, she felt a warmth in her heart.
Okay, right now, the guy that the little girl is longing for is gazing lovingly at another woman...
"Are you alright?" Yun Yun's cool voice rang in Mo Tang's ears.
Because he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Yue Mei, Mo Tang looked somewhat disheveled. His black robe was torn in several places, and there were glimpses of his underwear showing.
Mo Tang smiled slightly at this, not taking it to heart.
Although both of them were shrouded in cloaks, they could clearly feel each other's gaze.
"How did you recognize me? And you even went out of your way to save me. Were you trying to take advantage of me?"
Mo Tang's playful voice rang out, instantly making Yun Yun's pretty face, hidden in her hood, blush.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap your mouth shut!"
"With your conspicuous blue-purple wings, I can't help but recognize you even if I don't want to!"
When faced with an intellectual and sophisticated woman like Yun Yun, Mo Tang always manages to stir her emotions with just a single sentence...
However, it was clear that this was not the right time for flirting, so Yun Yun simply asked a question and then turned her attention to the snake woman Yue Mei on the other side.
"The Dou Wang of the Snake People Tribe..."
