Qing Lin's Unexpected Appearance, and Xiao Yi Xian's Momentary Madness!

The girl's overwhelming longing was conveyed to Xiao Yan's heart through her words.

Feeling the chill emanating from beside him, Xiao Yan couldn't bring himself to make the cruel decision to push away the girl who was embracing him.

He forced a smile, reached out and patted the girl's smooth, fair back, reassuringly saying, "Yes, I'm back, it's not a fake."

Qing Lin nestled affectionately in Xiao Yan, taking a deep breath before releasing him. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she apologized shyly, "I'm sorry, young master."

Xiao Yan reached out and stroked the girl's head, unable to say anything harsh, and joked, "Haha, Qing Lin, if you want, you can hug me all the time."

"Really?" Qing Lin clearly took it seriously.

"And who is this young lady?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, trying to smooth things over with a gentle smile.

Xiao Yan glanced at her gratefully, thinking that he shouldn't joke around with Qing Lin so casually in the future.

Unlike Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, though seemingly weak-willed, possesses a stubborn streak deep down.

"Qing Lin, just treat her as my sister," Xiao Yan introduced.

"Sister?" A knowing glint flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, and the coldness emanating from her body quietly dissipated.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Qing Lin contradicted Xiao Yan.

Qing Lin's expression was serious, her eyes filled with gratitude mixed with a hint of ambiguous emotion. "No, I'm not your sister. Qing Lin is Young Master's maid, and always will be!"

As Qing Lin said this, she recalled Queen Medusa's words, "A younger sister? If only she really were a younger sister, then at least there wouldn't be any possibility."

Because of some unspoken thoughts in her heart, she deliberately refuted them.

Xiao Yi Xian clearly realized this as well.

Being a younger sister, whether by blood or in name only, eliminates many possibilities.

But now Qing Lin is denying this identity, and she's doing it so seriously.

Xiao Yi Xian recalled Qing Lin's gaze and already understood the situation.

She rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan, her voice cold, "Xiao Yan, it seems your sister doesn't recognize the identity you gave her."

"Ahem, let her be happy."

Xiao Yan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so he quickly changed the subject and introduced Xiao Yi Xian to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, this is Xiao Yi Xian, my friend... a very important friend."

Qing Lin nodded, revealing a kind smile, "Hello, Xiao Yi Xian."

The Snake-People Tribe's unique eyes swept over Xiao Yi Xian's entire body, her snow-white long hair, beautiful features, and slender waist that seemed to be able to be grasped with one hand.

Every part of Xiao Yi Xian's body seemed to be silently telling Qing Lin that a huge threat was approaching.

Ignoring Qing Lin's scrutiny, Xiao Yi Xian smiled and replied, "Hello, Sister Qing Lin."

The tangible and intangible forces collided silently.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and the Woe Poison Body, two top-tier Heaven-Swallowing Talent at the pinnacle of the continent, meet here.

The atmosphere fell silent once again after Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking.

Xiao Yan hurriedly searched for a way out of the predicament, and his gaze fell on Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were sitting leisurely on the stone bench watching the show. His eyes lit up.

"Big brother, second brother!"

Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward, pulled the two of them up, and gave each of them a hug.

Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li hugged Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and whispered in his ear, "Third brother, you really have a lot of luck with women."

Xiao Yan chuckled awkwardly, not wanting to answer at all.

He was just an ordinary, innocent young man; how could he possibly handle such complicated relationships between women?

He found this kind of overt and covert confrontation even more difficult to understand than alchemy.

With Xiao Ding and Xiao Li present, and given that Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian were both not inclined to attack, the somewhat awkward conversation finally came to an end.

The five people sat on a stone bench, exchanging words of comfort.

Xiao Yan told Xiao Ding and Xiao Li that he was taking Xiao Yi Xian to the Snake-People Tribe to control the Woeful Poison Body, and that he was just stopping by to visit them.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were not disappointed, but told Xiao Yan to be careful and to come here to find them if he missed them.

Xiao Yan did not agree, and directly asked if the two of them could leave with him to the Black-Corner Region.

There's no need for beating around the bush between brothers.

He told the two that he planned to trade a large amount of Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches in the Black-Corner Region to improve his cultivation, and that he would need a powerful force to operate this.

The prerequisite for this is to first establish a power base.

He then pulled out Qian Du, who had been silently following behind Xiao Yi Xian, and told the two that Qian Du was currently his only manpower.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li pondered for a moment.

They were naturally reluctant to give up the mercenary group they had built up over many years, but compared to their younger brother, their younger brother was definitely more important.

Without much hesitation, the two agreed to Xiao Yan's request.

Xiao Yan knew that his two older brothers would be somewhat reluctant to part with him.

But to be honest, he plans to trade a large amount of Beast Flame and Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches in the Black-Corner Region in the future, as these will be his reliance for rapidly improving his cultivation.

He must be managed by someone he completely trusts.

There aren't many people like that to begin with; even someone like Hai Bodong is somewhat inferior.

Besides that, Xiao Yan actually had another reason he couldn't say.

That is, he wanted to keep his two older brothers by his side as much as possible, rather than leaving them in this remote, Stone Desert City.

He didn't want the tragedy of his two older brothers in the original story to repeat itself!

at this time,

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li thought for a moment and asked Xiao Yan if he could bring some mercenary groups they trusted to go to the Black-Corner Region together.

Xiao Yan naturally had no objections.

After chatting for a while longer, they confirmed that Xiao Yan would come back to Stone Desert City when he left the desert, and the topic came to an end.

Xiao Yan inquired about Qing Lin's recent situation and news about Queen Medusa.

Qing Lin answered earnestly, recounting her life in detail.

She said that since Xiao Yan left, she has been cultivating in the Snake-People Holy City, and her cultivation level has now reached the Da Dou Shi.

The reason I'm in Stone Desert City today is because I miss the past and came here to visit Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

However, these words were immediately seen through by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

This directly indicates that after Qing Lin arrived, she kept going to the room where Xiao Yan used to live and didn't talk to them for very long.

"Young Master Xiao Yan ~" Qing Lin blushed deeply, stammering and poking her fingers, which made Xiao Yan unable to resist giving her a hard pat on the head.

Xiao Yi Xian's lips twitched, and her aura turned cold again.

She thought about it and felt that things couldn't continue like this.

So, without even knowing what she was thinking, she impulsively imitated Qing Lin, stammering and poking her fingers, looking at Xiao Yan, and saying in a high-pitched voice, "Young Master Xiao Yan ~"

Xiao Yan:???

Xiao Ding Xiao Li:...

Qing Lin: Xiao Yi Xian, what are you doing?

Qian Du:?!

All eyes turned to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian's consciousness gradually returned, an indescribable sense of shame spread throughout her body.

Her breathing quickened; the toxins in her body were brewing and about to explode.

Xiao Yi Xian: If the Woeful Poison Body erupts, this matter won't get out, right?
