That Jiang Lin Actually Didn't Pick Flowers

"Miss Mo Li, is your mother... a woman from the Tong Li Snake Race?"

Jiang Lin asked slowly, and the courtyard fell into silence.

The girl lowered her eyes, her expression conflicted, as if she was hesitating whether to tell Elder Sister Jiang Xin the truth.

But what the girl didn't know was that when she showed that expression, it already said everything.

After a long while, the girl gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and her clenched teeth slowly loosened. "Yes... my mother is a girl from the Tong Li Snake Race, and I am a hybrid of demon and human."

"Just as I thought..."

Jiang Lin nodded, showing no particular emotion, only letting out a soft sigh.

There are quite a few people of mixed race between demons and humans; after all, his senior brother Qin Xiao, was a birdman.

However, if demons and humans were to unite, although reproductive isolation is not involved in this cultivation world, there would still be various problems.

This varies depending on the type of demon, and can be either good or bad.

However, good and bad fortune are usually intertwined.

For example, when Chenghuang combines with a human, there will be two clones: one in human form and one in Chenghuang. The two are the same person, and their realms can complement each other, which is an advantage.

However, the cultivation speed will be twice as slow as that of a pure-blooded Chenghuang, which is also a disadvantage.

For example, when a dragon and a human mate, the hybrid will naturally possess the might of a dragon. However, dragons are inherently violent, so the hybrid will occasionally lose its mind.

For example, if the White Fox Race were to mate with a human, they would find it much easier to understand "love," although they could only have daughters... But Jiang Lin felt this was an advantage... how could it be a disadvantage?

If the Tong Li Snake Race marries a human, their offspring will be adept at both cultivating magic and Demon Arts arts. However, the problem is that a significant number of issues could arise, leading to situations like Miss Mo Li's current predicament.

Grandma Hua calls this condition "Tong Li Bridge".

The "Tong Li Bridge" can only appear when the Mo Li Snake Clan and the human race unite. This is because the Mo Li Snake Clan is the leader of all snakes and has too much Demonic Qi. If the bloodline of the human cultivator is also too strong, the two will clash.

Like ice and molten lava rushing towards the Spiritual Apertures and the Longevity Bridge.

Ultimately, the Spiritual Apertures will be damaged, Longevity Bridge will also break or even collapse.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Mo Li Snake Clan absolutely forbids intermarriage between its own clan and the human race, not to mention the human race, even other ordinary demon races are not allowed!

Looking at the girl in front of him, Jiang Lin had already imagined a TV drama plot where the girl's father and her pregnant mother, who had betrayed the Tongli clan, were wandering the world together...

However, perhaps the girl's mother still feels a lot of guilt.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a word "Li" in the name.

It is both the "Li" in Tong Li Snake Race" and the "Li" in "leaving"...

Gently pull up Mo Li's sleeve...

"Miss Mo Li Miss Mo Li, if I may be so bold as to ask, do the Medical Cultivators who diagnosed you know anything about Miss Mo Li bloodline?"

"I know."

The girl nodded.

What did the doctors say?

"They said..."

The girl hesitated, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but more so an acceptance of her fate.

"They're saying this is a terminal illness?"

Jiang Lin answered for the girl.

Upon hearing Jiang Lin's voice, the girl's eyes trembled slightly, as if a sharp knife had pierced the wound in her soft heart.

But soon, the girl lowered her eyelids and simply shook her head with a smile.

"Sigh... There's no such thing as an incurable disease in the world, it's just that there's no cure yet." Looking at the girl's appearance, Jiang Lin shook his head, truly feeling sorry for her.

The girl shook her head, looked up at her Bamboo House, and smiled slightly, as if trying to convince herself:

"Elder Sister Jiang Xin, there's no need to comfort Mo Li. Mo Li is quite content living here. It's lucky to have lived this long. Reading, playing the piano, and painting— Mo Li is already very satisfied."

Looking at the girl's profile, Jiang Lin really wanted to say that he actually had a way to save her.

However, she was merely an "ordinary servant girl," and the Empty Spirit Sect must have spared no expense in hiring top-tier Medical Cultivators to diagnose her, such as the most famous old medical lady in Wutong Province...

But if someone claims to have a solution for something that's widely considered a "terminal illness" and for which others are helpless, even the most naive girl would become suspicious...

Moreover, to be honest, this method is really difficult. When Grandma Hua taught it to him, she said it was still in the theoretical stage, so Jiang Lin really wasn't sure if it would work...

Forget it, just give me the detailed method before you leave. Whether I use it or not is not something I need to worry about.

"I'm sorry, Elder Sister Jiang Xin, it seems Mo Li has brought the atmosphere to a rather somber level... Let's look at some poetry instead."

"Poetry? Oh, is it Literary Gathering hosted by Miss Mo Li?" Jiang Lin then remembered that the girl was holding Literary Gathering find a husband.

Actually, I should have gone to the Literary Gathering freeload... but unfortunately, I'm just too famous...

"Mmm." The girl nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed, probably because she was shy about finding a husband for herself.

"Then let's look at some poetry."

"OK."

Perhaps Mo Li didn't want to waste the time someone had with her, or perhaps she didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy. The girl smiled gently and picked up the first letter.

The girl's beaming smile was truly captivating.

This kind of girl really evokes a protective instinct in people. It doesn't make you want to woo her; instead, it's like wanting to protect your own little sister and not wanting her to get hurt in any way.

Her delicate hands cut open the first letter, unfolding the envelope...

[Mo Li, today the Flower-Picking Thief Jiang Lin has infiltrated our sect. Mo Li, you must be careful. Although it's almost impossible for him to enter the magic array, and you are the master of this Small World in the back mountain, my eyelids are still twitching, and I'm very worried. If you encounter anything strange, just tear up the scroll, and my clone will appear. If there are any strange things, you can also Demon Revealing Mirror to see them!]

Looking at the envelope in the girl's hand, Jiang Lin blinked, sweat pouring down his back.

I was originally planning to knock this girl unconscious...

But I feel that if I act now, I might be the one who gets knocked unconscious...

Although Jiang Lin couldn't tell what realm this girl was at, as the master of this Small World, it wasn't impossible for her realm to advance two realms directly!

Therefore, Jiang Lin was already prepared to slip away unnoticed.

When it comes to escaping, I'm a professional.

"Grandpa is really worrying too much. Even if that Flower-Picking Thief is at the Jade Purity Realm, he couldn't possibly get in..."

"Yes, that's true. And I heard that Jiang Lin doesn't actually pick flowers; he just came to pick a few mushrooms..."

"Yeah?"

Mo Li smiled and looked at Jiang Lin.

"Is Elder Sister Jiang Xin very hot? Why are you sweating so much?"
