Trouble

Ye Feng sized up the girl in front of him.

The girl was dressed in a light green, Qing Ya outfit. Although she was petite, she was strangely well-developed, with curves in all the right places, full and slender, though she looked a little immature.

She has a lovely, delicate oval face, like a beautiful porcelain doll. Her timid appearance is like that of a frightened little rabbit, which makes people feel a little sorry for her.

The burly man who had grabbed Qing Lin's eyes showed deep disdain as he sneered, "You're a Half-Snake Person? Why the hell am I wasting my breath talking to you? I'll have to sell you to a brothel."

"Stop."

"Let her go!"

Before Ye Feng could speak, Ya Fei and another man's voices suddenly rang out beside him.

Ye Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a long robe, with a square face and a resolute expression, walk out from the crowd. Ye Feng guessed that this man must be Xiao Ding, the leader of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

In the original storyline, Qing Lin met Xiao Yan within the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. According to the original timeline, Ye Feng arrived in Mo City a year earlier than Xiao Yan. Ye Feng understood; this was the scene where Qing Lin and Xiao Ding met.

Ye Feng merely glanced at Xiao Ding; the latter's cultivation level was simply too high for him to bear. He turned his head to look at Ya Fei and asked, "You want to save her?"

"I just... I just feel that, given her worth, she doesn't deserve to be sold into a brothel and become a man's plaything," Ya Fei explained.

"Alright, if you want to save me, then save me. It'll give you company." Ye Feng snapped his fingers, and with a bang, spatial energy compressed the burly man's body into a cloud of blood mist. The bloody scene petrified Xiao Ding and everyone present.

"Young Master Ye, did you kill him?" Ya Fei asked.

"Um."

"But we don't need to kill him at all. We can show our cultivation level and scare him away."

"Trouble."

Ye Feng gave Ya Fei a simple answer.

Trouble!

Ye Feng naturally had a thousand ways to save Qing Lin from the strong man's hands, but that would be very troublesome.

"Let's go with her," Ye Feng said, then stepped away from the crowd.

Ya Fei did as instructed, walked to Qing Lin's side, and asked, "What's your name?"

"I...I am called Qing Lin."

"Qing Lin, come with me. Your Half-Snake Person identity has been exposed. Staying here will only earn you their Byakugan," Ya Fei advised.

"This..."

Qing Lin hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you." Ya Fei reached out and took Qing Lin's hand, guiding the hesitant Qing Lin to keep up with Ye Feng's pace.

Ya Fei and Qing Lin followed Ye Feng to a mountain peak ten miles outside Mo City.

It's rare to find lush green vegetation on the mountain peaks. This is especially rare on the edge of the desert.

With a flick of his fingers, Ye Feng cut the large trees into square pieces, and in no time, the simple three rooms were completed. With the houses in place, Ye Feng blinked, and the soil around the houses rose up, forming a wall around them. And so, a courtyard house covering three hundred square meters appeared.

"Young Master Ye, are we going to stay here for a while?" Ya Fei asked.

"Are you willing?" Ye Feng asked.

"I'm just your maid, I'll go wherever you go." Ya Fei blinked her long eyelashes, giving Ya Fei a charming and alluring look.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment. He looked Ya Fei up and down. If he hadn't noticed that Ya Fei was about to have her period, he would have really wanted to push Ya Fei down. Ye Feng looked at Qing Lin, who was terrified of him, knowing that the bloody scene on the street had frightened Qing Lin's fragile heart. "Ya Fei, she's in your hands now."

"Yes, Young Master Ye."

"Ya Fei, Qing Lin, do you want to play a prank on someone?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.

"Prank someone?" Ya Fei looked at Ye Feng in confusion, not understanding what Ye Feng meant.

Qing Lin's eyes widened noticeably, and she asked Ye Feng with some interest.

"If you encounter anyone passing by this mountain these days, you can test them with questions. The questions will vary. Once someone passes the test, we will give them a small reward," Ye Feng said.

"Good."

Ya Fei nodded, showing great interest in this novel way of playing.

In the desert, there exists a city that is not much different from a human city. However, the inhabitants of this city are not humans, but a race called the Snake People.

The Snake-People Race are comprised of several tribes in the Tagor Desert. None of these tribes submit to the others. Decades ago, a Snake Person with Medusa lineage suddenly appeared in the desert.

This snake-man was exceptionally gifted, his cultivation increasing daily. He not only single-handedly unified several major tribes in the Tagor Desert, but his fame also intimidated surrounding empires, deterring human empires from easily invading the Tagor Desert.

"Your Majesty, there is something I need to report to you."

"What's up?"

"On a mountain peak surrounding Mo City, a mysterious person suddenly appeared. That person often guides the martial artists in the area to break through their cultivation levels. He also helps ordinary people with extremely poor talent to improve their physique, allowing them to have a better cultivation physique. Even if someone asks him for pills, as long as they pass the test and bring their own medicinal materials, he will fulfill their needs."

"He belongs to the Gamma Empire?"

"No, it is rumored that he refused Jia Xingtian's reward. Jia Xingtian left in a sorry state under his control."

Is this really true?

Queen Medusa rose from her throne. She knew Jia Xingtian's cultivation level: late-stage Dou Empress. Having not seen him for years, she suspected he might have reached the peak of Dou Jia Xingtian. A master capable of forcing Jia Xingtian to flee in Jia Xingtian was someone she couldn't afford to ignore.

"My subordinates' reports are all true. And..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, he also possesses Heavenly Flames."

Hua She Er raised her head and boldly glanced at her queen. As the captain of Queen Medusa's personal guard, she knew that her queen had recently been searching for a Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames in the desert, hoping to use it to evolve and break through the Dou Zong realm, which she had been unable to reach for so long.

Sure enough, a flicker of attraction appeared in Queen Medusa's pale purple eyes. After a long pause, Queen Medusa sighed, "It's a pity he's a human."

Why would humans help the Snake-People Race?

Queen Medusa believed that humans would only enslave and poison the Snake-People Race, and would not help Snake-People Race, much less help her evolve into an ancient Ferocious Beast.

"Your Majesty, although he is a human, he is quite special. Among those he has guided and helped, besides humans, there are also snake people and Half-Snake Person."
