Establish Prestige

"Young Master Lin! You... you really think the name Qing Lin sounds nice?" Hearing Lin Ming's praise, Qing Lin raised his head and asked Lin Ming.

For Qing Lin, she had been disliked and hated by everyone since she was a child. Even her own mother looked at her with disgust, let alone others.

In Stone Desert City, the name Qing Lin is synonymous with misfortune, so much so that upon hearing Lin Ming's praise, Qing Lin wore an expression of disbelief.

Seeing Qing Lin's expression, Lin Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wondered how much suffering Qing Lin had endured to elicit such a reaction from someone who merely praised her name. So, Lin Ming smiled sincerely and said, "Yes! Qing Lin, not only is your name beautiful, but you are also very lovely and beautiful."

Upon hearing Lin Ming's praise again, a rare smile appeared on Qing Lin's delicate face. Then, with her eyes still slightly blurry, Qing Lin looked at Lin Ming and said sweetly, "Young Master Lin... you're the first person to praise Qing Lin."

Seeing Qing Lin smile, Lin Ming's smile also appeared on his face. However, at this moment, Lin Ming noticed a fluctuation in his Soul Power. Then, Lin Ming turned his gaze to Qing Lin's eyes, and saw three extremely tiny green dots faintly emerging in the depths of Qing Lin's hazy eyes.

Looking at the three small green dots, Lin Ming knew that these were the characteristics of Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Now that Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had appeared, she probably didn't even know it herself.

After looking at Qing Lin for a moment, Lin Ming said, "Qing Lin, you've lived in Stone Desert City so long, you must be very familiar with it! How about this, Qing Lin, you be my guide and take me around. I've just arrived in Stone Desert City and I'm not familiar with the surroundings. Qing Lin, you're so cute, I'm sure you won't refuse me!"

Upon hearing the suggestion to go outside, Qing Lin instinctively wanted to refuse. However, seeing Lin Ming's warm smile and hearing his unfamiliarity with the place, Qing Lin bit her lip and nodded.

"Haha, Qing Lin, since you agree, let's go now!" Seeing Qing Lin nod, Lin Ming jumped out of bed and then pulled Qing Lin out.

"Young Master Lin! The towels aren't washed yet!" Qing Lin said as Lin Ming pulled her away.

"I'll wash it when I get back!"

Once they arrived on the street, it was said that Lin Ming had shown Qing Lin around, but it was more like Lin Ming was showing Qing Lin around.

As Qing Lin followed Lin Ming, she unconsciously lowered her head as she watched the passersby. The gazes of these passersby toward Qing Lin were filled with discrimination and disgust.

"Qing Lin, let's go inside and take a look at some clothes!" After arriving at a clothing store, Lin Ming Qing Lin Qing Lin, looking at her faded clothes.

Before Qing Lin could react, Lin Ming Qing Lin pulled her into the shop.

"Young master, what kind of clothes would you like to buy?" Upon seeing Lin Ming's arrival, the shop assistant hurriedly came over to greet him. However, after walking over, the shop assistant's smiling face immediately turned sour upon seeing Qing Lin beside Lin Ming, and he said with a look of disgust, "Go away! You are not welcome here!"

"Say that again!" Upon hearing the shop assistant's words, Lin Ming's face immediately darkened, and he said in an icy tone.

"Young master, I wasn't saying you weren't welcome. I was talking to this bastard." Seeing that Lin Ming was about to lose his temper, the shop assistant quickly said to Lin Ming with a smile. However, when he said the second half of the sentence, his expression was full of disgust.

"Qing Lin is with me. So I don't want to repeat myself. Get out of my way!" Seeing the shop assistant looking at Qing Lin with disgust and uttering insults again, Lin Ming spoke coldly once more.

"Young master, you must be from out of town, which is why you've been deceived by this bastard and are protecting her like this. But you'll understand once you see this." The shop assistant said, then quickly rolled up Qing Lin's sleeve, revealing the blue Qing Lin hidden beneath her clothes.

When the shop assistant rolled up her sleeves, revealing her blue scales, Qing Lin immediately panicked, struggling to break free from both the shop assistant's pull and Lin Ming's hold.

After breaking free from their grasp, Qing Lin immediately crouched down, clutching her head in her hands, her voice trembling with fear as she cried out, "Young Master Lin... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Seeing Qing Lin's state, Lin Ming felt extremely distressed. If he hadn't brought Qing Lin out, she wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.

However, at this moment, Lin Ming knew that the most important thing was to Qing Lin and make her feel safe. So Lin Ming squatted down, hugged Qing Lin in his arms, and comforted her, saying, "Qing Lin, these scales are very beautiful! They're not scary at all."

"Young Master Lin! You... you're really not afraid?" After hearing Lin Ming's praise once again, Qing Lin raised her head and looked at Lin Ming, who was standing close by, and asked.

"Yes! Whether before or now, Qing Lin is always so beautiful and lovely in my eyes." Lin Ming said with a smile, looking at Qing Lin's little face.

"Alright, Qing Lin, let's get up!" Lin Ming said to Qing Lin after seeing that Qing Lin complexion had returned to normal.

Qing Lin, who was in a daze, only came to her senses after hearing Lin Ming's words. Then, Qing Lin realized that she was being held in Lin Ming's arms, and at that moment, Qing Lin's face turned red.

After helping Qing Lin up, Lin Ming's smile instantly turned cold, and then he looked at the shop assistant.

At this moment, as the shop assistant looked at Lin Ming's icy gaze, a chill ran through her mind.

Having lived in this scorching desert for half my life, I had never known what cold was. But now, this chilling feeling surged into my heart on its own.

"That's why you hate her!" Lin Ming's icy voice rang out at this moment.

"She has the lowly blood of Snake Person in her veins, shouldn't she be despised?" Upon hearing Lin Ming mention Qing Lin, the shop assistant subconsciously said to Lin Ming.

"Heh! Snake Person bloodline. How laughable! I ask you, did Qing Lin want to have Snake People Bloodline? Ah! Did she want to? It's because you people are all useless that Qing Lin's mother was defiled by Snake Person. What, seeing Qing Lin reminds you of your own incompetence and cowardice, doesn't it? So you use your meager abilities to bully this Little Girl! How ridiculous! Today, I, Lin Ming, hereby tell you all that if anyone dares to bully Qing Lin again, I, Lin Ming, will send you to the Qing Lin -Snake People Race to show off! If anyone wants to provoke me, I, Lin Ming, am ready to fight anytime." After Lin Ming finished speaking, his aura instantly burst forth.

"Bang!"

The sound of cracking floor tiles rang out after Lin Ming unleashed his power. Soon after, people saw the shop assistant kneeling on the ground, with several cracks in the floor tiles beneath his knees.
