Looking at Medusa's alluring face, Xiao Yu sighed softly and said, "You're too conspicuous going out like this. I need to help you change your outfit!"

Medusa glanced at her clothes, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong with my outfit?"

"Big sister, you're in the human world now, not the Snake People Clan anymore. Being too beautiful isn't a good thing. Besides, if you're too beautiful, you'll easily attract attention, which isn't good for me!" Xiao Yu said with a wry smile.

Unexpectedly Medusa's icy gaze fell upon Xiao Yu Xiao Yu upon hearing his words, causing Xiao Yu to shiver involuntarily. Xiao Yu had no idea what he had done to anger this lady!

"Am I old?" Medusa's icy tone swept over Xiao Yu like a cold wind. Xiao Yu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, you're not old at all!"

Xiao Yu then added, "And you should change your name, Medusa!"

Medusa's delicate eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and she said impatiently, "Why do you have so many things to do?"

Xiao Yu could only helplessly shrug and say, "There's nothing we can do about it. Alright, alright, leave everything to me, okay? As for your name, your sister is called Cai Die Colorful Butterfly), so you'll be Cai Lin)!"

After saying that, Xiao Yu ran out. However, he didn't see Medusa murmur, "Cai Lin? Sounds pretty good!" when she heard the name Cai Lin. After saying that, a charming smile appeared on Cai Lin's lips, and for a moment, the room was filled with spring. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu didn't see it.

Under the cover of his black robe, Xiao Yu visited several shops, but he couldn't find any suitable clothes for Cai Lin, so he had to give up. Anyway, he quite liked Cai Lin's red dress, so he only bought a pair of shoes, which should look good with her fair and delicate feet. After buying a light red veil, he went straight back to the inn.

Cai Lin lay on the bed, her eyes slightly closed as if she were resting. Upon hearing the door open, her eyes snapped open and she looked at Xiao Yu.

"Here's a veil and shoes, put them on!" Xiao Yu handed all the things he bought to Cai Lin, then walked to the side and took the little guy out of the System Space.

The little guy looked at his father, Xiao Yu, with his bright eyes and started babbling. Xiao Yu smiled gently at the little guy's innocent smile, picked up the animal milk, and fed it to the little guy.

Sitting on the bed, Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yu with some curiosity. Hearing Xiao Nian's yelp, she couldn't help but get off the bed and walk towards Xiao Yu.

Almost two months have passed, and Xiao Nian has grown a lot. He looks adorable with Yun Yun face and a nose like Xiao Yu. His big, bright eyes are fixed on Xiao Yu. When he sees Cai Lin's head peeking over, the little guy isn't shy at all and starts laughing.

Cai Lin was stunned for a moment. Seeing the little guy looking a bit dazed, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Do you want to hold him?"

Xiao Yu also saw the hint of affection deep in Cai Lin's eyes. Indeed, no female creature could resist such an adorable little guy. However, upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Cai Lin crossed her arms and said rather aloofly, "No, children are too much trouble!"

Xiao Yu found Cai Lin's somewhat contradictory expression rather amusing. He shrugged and said, "Alright then, I thought you really liked this little guy!"

"Who said I like her? She's your child, okay? Why would I like her?" Cai Lin said aloofly, her cold arrogance particularly evident. Unfortunately, if it weren't for her eyes constantly glancing at the little one in Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu would have actually believed her!

Xiao Yu stood up abruptly and placed the little guy directly into Cai Lin's arms. Cai Lin hurriedly caught Xiao Nian and said coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Let me give you a hug, so you can get acquainted with me!" Xiao Yu chuckled.

"Familiar? Familiar with what?" Cai Lin glanced coldly at Xiao Yu, but a faint blush rose on her pretty face.

Xiao Yu looked at Cai Lin with some surprise and said, "You'll be staying by my side for several more years, so you'll definitely be seeing the little guy quite often. I'll need your help taking care of him in the future. What are you thinking?"

Cai Lin lowered her head, looking at Xiao Nian's smiling face. She stroked Xiao Nian's face with her jade hand and said softly, "It's nothing. You'd better refine the Spirit Fusion Pill as soon as possible so I can return to the Snake People Clan as soon as possible."

"Even at the fastest, it will still take several years. I can't find the medicinal herbs yet, and the alchemist's level isn't high enough. How much faster do you want it to be?" Xiao Yu said helplessly.

Cai Lin didn't say anything more, but turned her gaze to the little guy in her arms. Her originally indifferent eyes softened a bit. Xiao Yu couldn't see this, and the tenderness in her eyes wasn't for him. He was utterly miserable!

"Alright, you play with Xiao Nian for a while, I'll refine some medicinal herbs!" Xiao Yu said to Cai Lin.

Xiao Yu then placed all the medicinal herbs he had previously purchased on the table. With a slight movement of his hands, the Green Lotus Core Flame activated a fire cauldron, while the Bone Spirit Cold Flame rushed into the cauldron. This was the first time he had tried this method of refining medicine.

Cai Lin held the little one and watched Xiao Yu refine medicine. It was the first time she had observed Xiao Yu refine medicine. She had to admit that Xiao Yu's Fire Energy had improved incredibly quickly. The last time they met, when Xiao Yu threatened her with Heavenly Flames, his ability to control fire was clearly not as skillful as it was now.

In fact, the Heavenly Flames rewarded by the system is only Heavenly Flames that recognizes its master. Although there is no threat of being burned to death when absorbing it, you still have to go through a painful absorption process. Furthermore, you can only master the control of the Heavenly Flames through repeated alchemy!

Xiao Yu threw the medicinal herbs for refining the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill directly into the fire cauldron. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame, with its spirit-like flames, instantly enveloped the herbs. As the herbs were refined, Xiao Yu flicked his finger, and a wisp of purple flame disappeared into the fire cauldron. At the same time, the Green Lotus Core Flame also shot out from the fire cauldron.

With Xiao Yu's current strength, he could definitely refine the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill to the point of having three patterns. In just one afternoon, Xiao Yu refined a total of six sets of Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill. Of course, not all of them were Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill; there were four Two-patterned Green Spirit Pill and two Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill. Xiao Yu also understood the art of scarcity marketing.

Scarcity drives up value. Two Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill could fetch around 1.7 to 1.8 million Gold Coins at auction if you're lucky. Four Two-patterned Green Spirit Pill should also be worth around 1.7 to 1.8 million gold coins!

After refining the pills, Xiao Yu stood up and looked at Cai Lin, saying, "I'll go out for a bit and take good care of the little guy!"

Cai Lin didn't even glance at Xiao Yu. Her indifferent nature gave Xiao Yu a headache, but he didn't say anything and opened the door to leave.

Arriving at the other room, Xiao Yu knocked on Xiao Yan's door. Seeing that Xiao Yan was also fully prepared, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "It seems that Third Brother and I think the same thing?"

Xiao Yan also laughed and said, "Let's go!"
