Two Women
Lin Qing could see the fluctuations of Yao Chen's soul on Xiao Yan's body.
'It seems he has recovered to the Dou Zong level of strength!'
"Yay! We're almost there! I'm so bored!"
Zi Yan excitedly rushed out. Although she had been given a Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Peak Dou Ancestor, Lin had made Qing come back to her every day and forbade her from taking Medicinal Herb from human forces. As a result, she could only go to the Magic Beast Mountains to pick up some Medicinal Herb at most.
During this time, she led the Heavenly Demon Puppet to conquer all the branches of the Magic Beast Mountains within the territory of Gama, defeating all the Magical Beast of the Tier 5 and above, and taking the opportunity to loot Medicinal Herb they were guarding, collecting, and storing.
"Hehe, once Cailin and the others arrive in Jia Ma Sacred City, you can go out and have a lot of fun with Cailin! You can also go searching for Medicinal Herb together!"
Lin Qing gently rubbed Zi Yan's head and said softly.
Seeing Lin Qing stroke Zi Yan's hair, Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. Over the past few days, Xiao Yan had gained a clear understanding of Zi Yan, this wealthy woman.
The opponent not only possessed a large quantity of precious Medicinal Herb, but also broke through to the Dou Emperor at a young age, and people like Qing Lin had talents surpassing his.
At first, he tried to get closer to them, but they didn't pay much attention to him, so he gave up on the idea.
After entering the Jia Ma Sacred City, Lin Qing and the Xiao Clan family entered the mansion prepared by the Mittel Family.
After everyone settled in, Lin Qing and the women entered the Small Courtyard arranged by the Mittel Family.
After resting for an hour in the Small Courtyard, Lin Qing and the others were back to their peak condition.
Then Lin Qing Qingcai led Xiao Yi Xian and the others out of the Small Courtyard. He also planned to take a good look around the Jia Ma Sacred City and see if there was anything he liked at the Auction House and the Alchemist Guild.
It was nearing evening, and the setting sun painted the sky a dark yellow, making it increasingly dark. The lanterns along the streets began to light up, and with the addition of Moonlight Stone in the shops, the streets were brightly lit, with pedestrians coming and going.
Since it was their first time visiting the Jia Ma Sacred City, Zi Yan and Qing Lin strolled ahead, while Lin Qing and Xiao Yi Xian walked slowly behind, hand in hand.
The group's striking good looks attracted the attention of passersby.
The main reason was that Lin Qing and the other women were all too beautiful. Even though they were dressed casually for convenience, they couldn't hide Lin Qing's handsome looks and the women's stunning beauty.
On the Dou Qi Continent, as long as the attributes are not strange or unique, such as stone, poison, or darkness, cultivators generally don't have particularly bad appearances.
However, because of the aura emanating from them, no one came to cause trouble, and they didn't encounter the kind of humiliation they had experienced before.
Lin Qing smiled faintly, her gentle gaze never leaving the cheerful Zi Yan and Qing Lin in front of her.
He was used to the envious and jealous looks from those around him; he had seen too many of them.
As the group strolled around, Lin Qing sensed a fluctuation in the surrounding space, and then two familiar figures appeared in front of him.
"You're back!" Lin Qing said softly.
"You're back!" Cailin said softly. Then she saw Xiao Yi Xian holding hands with Lin Qing. Her breath hitched slightly, but she didn't say anything. She and Caidie stood there quietly under the soft moonlight and lamplight, their brocade robes seemingly tinged with a faint glow. Their eyes sparkled with tears.
"Brother Lin Qing!" Caidie called softly.
The four of them fell silent, a subtle atmosphere filling the air, which gave Lin Qing a headache.
He didn't have many options for dealing with the two women. If they were his opponents, he could suppress and kill them, but one of them was his woman, and the other was a follower with whom he had a strained relationship. He had no choice but to shut up and leave everything to time.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi Xian spoke first, "Long time no see, Sister Cailin, Sister Caidie."
Her voice was incredibly gentle and natural, yet her words subtly conveyed the tone of the mistress of the house, as if she had already assumed that role.
"Heh!" Upon hearing Little Cailin Xiao Yi Xian's gentle yet subtly sharp tone, Cai Lin couldn't help but clench her slender hands.
Xiao Yi Xian's gaze remained calm and unwavering, as if it were merely a greeting. Cailin said nothing more, her figure shifting slightly, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space. Then, she pulled Caidie into the space, disappearing silently, leaving only a lukewarm remark lingering in the air:
"You stay with them first, Die and I will come later!"
'It's just a matter of being one step ahead! Who wins and who loses is still uncertain!'
As for the Xiao Yi Xian who got Lin Qing earlier and wanted to establish her position as soon as possible, she was not afraid at all. As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, she had her own pride after her bloodline had successfully evolved. And who knows what the future holds?
Night fell, the moonlight as clear as water, its gentle glow spilling into the Small Courtyard.
It was quite rare for Lin Qing and the others to gather together.
The imagined conflict did not occur. Aside from some verbal sparring upon their reunion, Cailin and Xiao Yi Xian unexpectedly became friends after spending a night chatting alone.
The next day, in the Small Courtyard.
Lin Qing is studying the prescription.
"Haha! Master Lin, long time no see." A hearty laugh came from afar. The person who came was none other than Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. However, this Ice Emperor is now Eight-Star Dou Huang, and it won't be long before he becomes an Ice Sect Master.
"Ice Emperor, long time no see!" Lin Qing smiled slightly upon seeing the visitor, then put down the prescription and replied.
"Come in!" he called out when he saw Hai Bodong standing outside the door without entering.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong stepped across the threshold into the Small Courtyard and sat directly on the stone bench.
"The Xiao Clan has settled down now, back to their original location, which means they've reclaimed their former assets," Hai Bodong said, pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip.
Previously, some members of the Mittel Family had reservations about cooperating with the Xiao Clan and protecting and supporting Xiao Clan at all costs. However, Hai Bodong understood that as long as Lin Qing existed, the rise of the Xiao Clan was a foregone conclusion.
"Do a good job! Keep an eye on the Xiao Clan for me, and I'll help you break through to a higher level of cultivation and take you to a bigger platform!" Lin Qing poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong was overjoyed and very happy that Lin Qing was able to make such a promise.
"Then I'll wait for Master Lin!" After a moment, Hai Bodong finally snapped out of his surprise and clicked his tongue in exasperation.
Lin Qing put down his teacup, preparing to chat with Hai Bodong some more, when the space behind him suddenly rippled, and two tall figures emerged from it. Both were dressed in red brocade robes, and their alluring faces were strikingly different. One was filled with an unusual allure, yet was as cold as ice, making it impossible to look directly at her; the other had an innocent expression, and her combination of a bewitching face and a devilish figure gave her a unique charm.
