Sparring, Qing Lin's Changes

"Medusa." Xiao Yan recognized her immediately.

He was all too familiar with that voice.

Aside from ordinary conversations... on certain special occasions, he had even heard the extreme pitch that this voice could produce.

Moreover, apart from Medusa, no one would call him 'little man'.

The Snake-People Tribe are driven by greed.

But the Snake-People Tribe are also pure; once they commit to one person, their love remains unchanged for life.

Therefore, during these months of separation, Queen Medusa had been suppressing her emotions for far too long.

So, when she faced Xiao Yan again, she spoke her mind without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry. Where are Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan was still unaware of what had happened, so he naturally wanted to find out first.

Medusa stroked Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan cheek, exhaling hot breath as she patted his neck. "One last time, I'll answer one question for you."

Xiao Yan swallowed hard. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a wild Medusa, and his body was already responding before he could.

He fell silent, casually concealing his ring, and shifted the battlefield to the right position.

On the battlefield, Xiao Yan and Medusa exchanged questions and answers.

"As for Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian told me she broke through to a higher level."

"Hmm... her cultivation has broken through very quickly, she's already... uh... reached the Dou Wang level."

"Where is Xiao Yi Xian? Why haven't we seen her?"

"Ah... she gave me the night, and even concealed my presence to surprise you."

"Queen, tell me what happened while I was away," Xiao Yan asked, launching a final, desperate attack.

Queen Medusa was shocked by Xiao Yan's fierce attack. She arched her back and limbs, and used her hands to forcefully scratch a shallow white mark on Xiao Yan's back.

"Little man... um..."

Xiao Yan Queen Medusa fought from night into day.

Relying on his physique, which had reached the Eighth Rank, Xiao Yan finally won the battle, completely defeating Queen Medusa and rendering her unable to fight again.

This was also the first time he had achieved such a complete victory.

Even Queen Medusa, Dou Zong, was no match for him.

It's also worth mentioning that Queen Medusa's proficiency level has dropped significantly due to her long period of inactivity in combat.

On the other hand, with the help of Xiao Yi Xian, he refreshed his knowledge and improved his Dou Skill, making Queen Medusa dizzy and weak.

Sitting on the edge of the battlefield, Xiao Yan looked towards the center, where a stranded fish was convulsing and writhing, its eyes showing, because it couldn't breathe oxygen.

Xiao Yan took a hand and soothed the fish, then got up to clean up the mess.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Yan pushed open the door and went out.

Upon exiting, they saw Xiao Yi Xian sitting on a stone bench in the center of the courtyard, with two enormous magical beasts beside her.

Above the Snow Demon Sky Ape and the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, Zi Yan and Qing Lin were talking to each other, their faces beaming with happiness, seemingly getting along very well.

"Young Master Xiao Yan!" Qing Lin noticed Xiao Yan and immediately jumped down from the top of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor's head.

She jogged up to Xiao Yan, and when she saw Xiao Yan face, which seemed even more handsome than before, her cheeks instantly flushed.

Zi Yan followed closely behind, arriving in front of Xiao Yan a step later than Qing Lin, and then hugged him directly.

She looked up, revealing a cute expression, and said to Xiao Yan in a coquettish tone, "Brother, I missed you so much."

Xiao Yan wasn't buying it. He flicked Zi Yan's head and said with a helpless smile, "Just say you've finished the pills."

Zi Yan covered her head and chuckled, "Then please give me some pills."

Xiao Yan, wanting to tease her, countered, "Why should I give it to you?"

Zi Yan stepped back, tilted her head, struck a cute pose, and poked her cheek with two fingers. "Because I'm cute."

Xiao Yan instantly lost his composure and tossed a Storage Ring to Zi Yan: "Here you go, here you go. This is full of pills. At your normal eating rate, it'll be enough for you for several months."

Zi Yan opened the Storage Ring and exclaimed with delight, "Wow, so much! Thank you, brother! You're the best person in the world!"

Qing Lin watched this scene with envy.

She also wanted to hug Xiao Yan like Zi Yan did, and to act coquettishly towards Xiao Yan.

Unfortunately, their identities are ultimately different.

She had met Zi Yan not long ago and learned that Zi Yan was Xiao Yan's adopted younger sister.

This is how it should be between a brother and sister.

She didn't seize the opportunity back then because of her inferiority complex, and was only willing to be Xiao Yan's maid.

However, Qing Lin doesn't think this is a bad thing.

During the time she was away from Xiao Yan, she learned a lot from Queen Medusa. Queen Medusa was like an older sister to her, teaching her cultivation, confidence, and how to cherish the happiness in front of her.

From this perspective, the sibling relationship is actually a constraint.

"Qing Lin, it's been a long time." Xiao Yan stepped forward, patted Qing Lin's head, and smiled slightly.

After a long time, Qing Lin's features had matured, and the childishness on her face had faded, making her even more charming and lovely.

That simple blue dress, enhanced by her beautiful appearance, gained an air of extraordinary elegance.

The Snake-People race gives Qing Lin both the allure of the Snake-People Tribe and the gentleness of a human girl, a unique quality that Xiao Yan has never felt in any other girl.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, Qing Lin misses you so much."

The girl looked up, her large eyes welling up with tears, her alluring Snake-People Tribe gaze pitifully at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan touched his nose and replied, "I missed you too, Qing Lin."

"Really?" A smile immediately spread across the girl's face, as if she had received a rare treasure.

Her slightly cool hands grasped Xiao Yan's arm; her slender fingers were as translucent as white jade, with faint blue veins visible.

In fact, the girl's entire body was like this.

Her skin was unbelievably white, almost reflecting the morning sunlight, making her appear exceptionally delicate, like a piece of white jade that might shatter at any moment.

For the first time, Xiao Yan realized that the girl who used to always keep her head down and dare not speak loudly was so eye-catching.

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, Qing Lin's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes curved upwards.

She thought to herself, "The Queen is right. As long as I reveal myself, Young Master Xiao Yan will pay more attention to me."

Qing Lin blinked, holding onto Xiao Yan's arm with a hint of cunning. Seeing that he didn't pull away, she was overjoyed.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian got up from the stone bench and walked to Xiao Yan's side.

She did nothing, only reminding Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, don't make Xun'er sad again."

"If you have any ideas, go tell Xun'er first, okay?"

Xiao Yan nodded silently.

He admitted that he was a womanizer and a complete scumbag.

But he really couldn't bring himself to do anything that would hurt Xun'er's heart again.

He felt he should at least do something more for Xun'er, otherwise he would feel really guilty.

For example... let Xun'er complete her task.

They brought the Tou She Ancient God Jade back to the Ancient Clan.
