Background / History

Qing Lin was born from a human mother and Snake-People blood. Mixed-blood children were viewed as cursed by both humans and Snake-People, and most reportedly did not survive beyond infancy; Qing Lin survived and reached approximately thirteen or fourteen years old. Her snake scales led others to call her a “little monster of human-snake hybrid.” 42 43

She served under Xiao Ding at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in Shimo City. After Xiao Fan encountered her and recognized her Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, Xiao Ding entrusted Qing Lin to him as a personal maid, believing Xiao Fan would not mistreat her. Qing Lin initially feared being sent away and was frightened of Xiao Fan. 41 42

As Xiao Fan's attendant, Qing Lin was publicly ridiculed for her hybrid traits. Xiao Fan drove away those gossiping about her and told her not to apologize for her scales, helping her develop confidence and pride in herself. 43

Mo Cheng of the Mo Clan targeted Qing Lin specifically for her pupils during the Sand Mercenary Group's assault on the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Xiao Fan protected her and the group, deepening Qing Lin's trust in him. 44

After leaving Shimo City with Xiao Fan, she traveled to the Tagor Desert and the Snake-People Tribe. Xiao Fan captured a Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake for her, while Qing Lin boldly introduced and praised him before Medusa and the tribe. 46
