Not the Slightest Hardship

"You..."

The Profound Nether Serpent poked its head out, its dark purple eyes sweeping over the person and the serpent present. Just as it was about to speak, a sudden change occurred.

Without warning, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor activated its Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and launched a thunderous charge towards the Profound Nether Serpent.

Not only was the Profound Nether Serpent caught off guard, but Qin Yu was also somewhat surprised.

What's wrong with Old Eight?

Are you really satisfied with the promises he made? Why are you so enthusiastic?

That's good; being positive is a good thing.

At this very moment, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor had already engaged in battle with the Profound Nether Serpent.

"You... Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?!"

After fighting for a while, the Profound Nether Serpent was very puzzled.

How dare this Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor be so brave when it's clearly weaker than it?

But when it noticed the small emerald green flower in the eyes of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, alarm bells went off in its mind.

This shape, this color...

It can't be a coincidence.

This Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor actually possesses the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?

"If you have so much energy, you should worry about your own situation!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the Profound Nether Serpent was stunned, Old Eight suddenly shot out a green light from his eyes, heading straight for the serpent's eyes.

The Profound Nether Serpent dared not be careless. It quickly closed its eyes and retreated rapidly, trying to hide back into the mountain.

"Trying to run?"

Old Eight saw through the Profound Nether Serpent's intentions and swiftly blocked its escape route.

Furthermore, upon seeing the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Profound Nether Serpent panicked, causing its combat power to noticeably decline briefly. It was struck solidly by several moves from Old Eight, inflicting several shocking wounds.

"You've gone too far! I'll fight you..."

The series of defeats made the Profound Nether Serpent increasingly impatient, and it even had the idea of dragging the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor into a self-destruction, taking them both down with it.

But it was precisely because of its impatience that Old Eight seized the opportunity and, using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, successfully enslaved this Peak Sixth-Tier Profound Nether Serpent.

"Hehe... Boss, how's my fighting ability? Pretty good, right?"

After storing the Profound Nether Serpent in his Snake-Pupil Space, Old Eight disregarded his own wounds and immediately approached Qin Yu, staring intently at him as if seeking praise.

Only if this person nods in agreement can it live a peaceful life!

"Of course, I'll leave Qing Lin to you. If..."

No wonder this guy was so enthusiastic today; he was trying to make a good impression on me.

"Don't worry, boss, I understand. If anything happens to Miss Qing Lin, I'll commit suicide on the spot to atone for my sins!"

Meanwhile, Qing Lin, who was in Misty Cloud Mountain, also noticed the anomaly in his Snake-Pupil Space.

After the Heart-Eye Symbiosis Contract was established, the Snake-Pupil Space of the Pseudo-Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils possessed by Old Eight was connected to the main body Qing Lin.

Therefore, Qing Lin could also sense that Profound Nether Serpent at its Peak Sixth-Tier.

"This snake... seems even more powerful than Little Eight."

The control over the Profound Nether Serpent also rests with Qing Lin. Whether it's directing its actions or absorbing its cultivation, Qing Lin has the priority.

Although the Old Eight also possesses such power, he must rely on Qing Lin to use it whenever she intervenes.

"Brother Qin Yu, I won't let you down!"

Qing Lin immediately began to absorb the power of this Profound Nether Serpent, using it to transform into the Dou Qi he cultivated.

By the time Qin Yu and Old Eight returned to Misty Cloud Mountain, Qing Lin had already broken through the threshold of the Da Dou Shi and entered the Dou Ling realm.

Moreover, it seems that Qing Lin will not stay at the Dou Ling realm for long.

A Peak Sixth-Tier Magical Beast would be far more effective for Qing Lin, who was at the Dou Ling realm, than ordinary pills.

"By the way, Qing Lin, keep this puppet with you from now on."

Qin Yu planned to leave the two Five-Star Dou Zong level puppets he had previously crafted at the Misty Cloud Sect; one would be given to Qing Lin, and the other...

Let's leave it to Brother Dong.

It's not for any other reason than that Qin Yu can't afford to raise so many puppets; Pill Lightning isn't something you can just eat whenever you want.

Once puppets can freely consume pill Pill Lightning, what use would Five-Star Dou Zong level puppet be?

"Brother Qin Yu, don't you need it yourself?"

Qing Lin turned to look at Qin Yu; she already knew the puppet's strength.

If Qin Yu had him by his side, he would be a considerable asset.

"Of course I'll use them, but I still have two left. The remaining two are for you and Hai Bo Dong."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yu summoned the Earth Puppet and the Thunder Puppet. Upon seeing this, Qing Lin no longer hesitated, dripping out his blood to take the puppets before him into his own service.

Old Eight, standing nearby, watched with trepidation.

Good heavens, it seems I underestimated Qin Yu.

These four puppets alone are enough to annihilate the vast majority of forces in the Northwestern Continent!

Whose Storage Ring contains four combatants with the strength of Five-Star Dou Zong or higher?!

However, judging from Qin Yu's posture, he likely has more than just a few puppets at his disposal.

Tsk, two Dou Zong- level puppets, he doesn't use them himself, but keeps them both to protect Qing Lin, what kind of treatment is that...

They really don't let Qing Lin suffer even the slightest hardship.

The person who shared the same feelings as Old Eight was naturally Hai Bo Dong.

"You little brat... you actually managed to get a bodyguard at the Dou Zong level?!"

Hai Bo Dong's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the puppet before him, a puppet powerful enough to severely injure or even kill him with a single punch.

Hai Bo Dong had learned some things about Qing Lin's past from Qing Lu.

"Qing Lin has finally gotten her happy after all her suffering, having a brother like you."

Comparing the two situations, Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back, since Qing Lin arrived in Wutan City, apart from being relentlessly pursued by the people of the Sky Serpent Mansion a while ago, she really hasn't suffered at all.

Qin Yu: Isn't that obvious? Qing Lin was suffering before I came, and Qing Lin's still suffering after I arrived. So what was the point of my trip?!

"What, are you envious, senior?"

Qin Yu joked casually.

"I'm not envious at all!"

Hai Bo Dong laughed and cursed, then accepted the puppet.

It's impossible not to feel envious.

But if it's Qing Lin... he'd be happy to see that.

"Oh, right, what about Aunt Qing Lu..."

As he spoke, Qin Yu did not forget Qing Lin's mother, who was far away in Wutan City.

"She said she would look after that courtyard for you; it was something she and her mother promised you. Now that Qing Lin has left, she can't leave even more."

"But I have to say, why are you so fond of that little courtyard? Aren't you living better at the Jia Nan Academy and here at the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Taking advantage of Qin Yu's question, Hai Bo Dong also voiced his own doubts.

What's so special about that tiny place, Wutan City?

Even if you grew up there, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

With so many wonderful places on the mainland, where isn't Wutan City more attractive?

Qin Yu simply smiled at Hai Bo Dong's question without answering.

Let's just consider it an obsession he can't let go of.
