Scheming for the Heavenly Flame

"Big Brother, you're so kind."

Qing Lin had spent her entire life under the strange gazes of others, so naturally, she could sense it.

There was none of the usual fear and disgust in Lin Feng's eyes when he looked at her.

Her delicate nose twitched slightly, and her little face was immediately filled with gratitude.

Then, as if she had remembered something.

Tilting her little head slightly, she asked, "Big Brother, you said you needed Qing Lin's help just now. What is it?"

Seeing Qing Lin's earlier expression, the corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly. This girl was really easy to satisfy.

He then coaxed her, "I've just arrived in Stone Desert City, and I have no one traveling with me, so it's very inconvenient. I want to find a maid here to take care of my daily needs. How about Qing Lin helps me?"

"Since Big Brother is willing to take me in, Qing Lin is naturally willing."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's invitation, a glimmer of light immediately flashed through Qing Lin's faintly green eyes.

Over all these years, Lin Feng was the first person to treat her so well.

She was naturally more than willing to become his maid.

Besides, she could barely get a full meal even once a day. If she followed Lin Feng, she certainly would not go hungry.

"Good. From now on, you're my maid. Take me to a clothing store now, and I'll buy you a suitable outfit."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lin Feng was delighted. He clenched his fists and said excitedly.

Now that he had Qing Lin, it was equivalent to having a powerful backing in the future.

His path ahead would also become much smoother.

"Yes, Young Master."

Qing Lin quickly settled into her role. Looking at her own clothes, she worried that she might embarrass Lin Feng and immediately replied.

But then she remembered the bag of Gold Coins on the ground and hurriedly picked it up. "Young Master, your Gold Coins."

"Keep them for me first. We might need them later."

Lin Feng gently pinched Qing Lin's little cheek and smiled.

"Yes."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qing Lin carefully put away the Gold Coins.

"Creak."

Qing Lin gently pushed open the door, walked inside, and placed the tray in her hands on the dining table in the middle of the room.

Then, she took the dishes from the tray and set them out.

After finishing all that, Qing Lin slowly walked to the bedside and crouched down.

Resting her pretty face in her hands, she watched the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed as he cultivated, a smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

The young man could only be considered moderately handsome, but in her eyes, he had the most handsome face on the Dou Qi Continent.

The past half month by his side had also been the happiest time of her life.

Not only had he guided her cultivation, but he had also protected her from being bullied by others.

How she wished she could live like this for the rest of her life.

After a long while, Lin Feng slowly stopped absorbing Dou Qi and withdrew from cultivation.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Qing Lin beside his bed. Smiling, he asked, "Little girl, what are you doing?"

"Whoosh~"

Qing Lin, who had been lost in thought, finally remembered her duty and hurriedly stood up.

She smiled somewhat bashfully before saying, "Young Master, breakfast is ready."

Seeing Qing Lin's adorably naive appearance, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. He jumped down from the bed and walked over to the dining table.

"Young Master, why do you always like looking toward the Tagor Desert?"

After breakfast, Qing Lin cleared the dishes. Seeing Lin Feng standing by the window and gazing eastward toward Stone Desert City, she asked curiously.

"Hehe, because there's a great treasure over there. Unfortunately, my strength is insufficient, so I can't obtain it."

Lin Feng wore a bitter expression as he turned around and pinched Qing Lin's little face, which had become rosy after escaping malnutrition.

"How could that be? Young Master can even defeat a Five-star Dou Zhe."

Remembering how a mercenary had insulted her before being sent flying by Lin Feng's punch, Qing Lin's face was full of astonishment.

Looking at Qing Lin's disbelief, Lin Feng glanced at her faintly green eyes and said, "Once you awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, becoming a Dou Zhe will be effortless. As for that thing in the desert, you need at least the strength of a Dou Wang to have a chance of obtaining it."

Hearing Lin Feng mention the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils again, and recalling what he had said a few days ago, Qing Lin's gaze dimmed and she fell silent.

Seeing Qing Lin's expression, Lin Feng knew what she was troubled about, but he did not urge her.

A few days earlier, Lin Feng had already told Qing Lin about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

At the same time, he had given her two choices: go with him to Jia Nan Academy, or go to Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

At first, Qing Lin had naturally chosen the first option without hesitation.

However, after Lin Feng told her that only by going to Heavenly Serpent Mansion could she become stronger in the future and provide him with the greatest help.

At that moment, Qing Lin began to hesitate. If she went to Jia Nan Academy, she could remain with her beloved Young Master forever.

If she went to Heavenly Serpent Mansion, she could obtain greater strength and help Young Master better in the future.

This difficult choice left the young girl unable to decide.

In his heart, Lin Feng hoped Qing Lin would go to Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

That way, she could receive the best cultivation environment.

After all, Jia Nan Academy had never raised anyone with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils before.

He also did not know whether it had any Cultivation Methods or Fighting Skills suitable for Qing Lin.

However, Lin Feng did not force Qing Lin to make her choice on the spot.

But considering that Qing Lin had already wasted so many years, they needed to develop her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils as soon as possible.

Therefore, he had given her only three days to consider it, and today was the third day.

"Young Master, are you saying that once I awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Heavenly Serpent Mansion will sense it and send experts to fetch me?"

After the room had remained quiet for a long time, the girl's crisp voice rang out again.

"That's right." Lin Feng nodded in reply.

"What level would they be?"

"Probably Dou Emperors." Thinking of the original story, Lin Feng answered somewhat uncertainly.

Raising her head, Qing Lin looked up at Lin Feng and then asked, "Then if I ask them to help Young Master obtain that thing, would they agree?"

"Qing Lin, you..."

At this point, how could Lin Feng not understand Qing Lin's intentions? For a moment, he did not know what to say.

At first, he had taken Qing Lin in only because of her talent.

Now, seeing that Qing Lin was willing to go alone to that distant, unfamiliar place just so he could obtain the Heavenly Flame.

It was impossible for him not to be moved.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, yet the words would not leave his mouth.

It was not that he absolutely had to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, but because that place would allow Qing Lin to receive the best cultivation resources.

"It's all right, Young Master. Qing Lin has never been able to help you with anything, but this time, Qing Lin is very happy to be able to help Young Master."

As she spoke, Qing Lin took hold of Lin Feng's arm. Her pretty face wore a smile, and she truly looked extremely happy.

That was, if one ignored the tears continuously falling from both sides of her cheeks.

Although Qing Lin did not know what exactly lay within the Tagor Desert.

Judging from Lin Feng's actions, it was certainly an extremely rare treasure.

This time, she had to help Young Master obtain it!

Besides, Young Master had said that if she did not want to be bullied by others, she had to become stronger than them.

And only by going to Heavenly Serpent Mansion could she grow stronger more quickly. Then, she would be able to help Young Master.

Hearing Qing Lin say this, Lin Feng also felt that the chances of success were extremely high.

Besides, he was not someone who put on airs.

Wiping the tears from the little girl's face, he said solemnly, "Qing Lin, believe me. One day, I will definitely go to Heavenly Serpent Mansion and bring you back."

"Qing Lin has always believed in Young Master."
