Discussion

Upon noticing the two women who had suddenly appeared, Lin Qing turned around and looked at them with some confusion.

Just as Lin Qing turned her head, Hai Bodong, who was sitting opposite Lin Qing, quickly lost his joy, and a look of fear and horror crept up his face, as if he had seen a ghost...

"M... M... Queen Medusa?! And... there are two of them!"

His body trembled slightly, and after a moment, a hoarse voice, tinged with fear, finally escaped from Hai Bodong's throat.

It's hard to imagine the horror that the familiar face brought to Hai Bodong when it reappeared before him. One Medusa was already terrifying enough, let alone two. He, who was usually fearless, even trembled as he spoke.

He never expected that such a woman would still be by Lin Qing's side.

Ignoring Hai Bodong's fear, Lin Qing asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Caidie quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Qing's sleeve, and pouted, saying, "Brother Lin Qing, I want to go out and play with Zi Yan, but my sister won't let me! Please take me out to play!"

Seeing her younger sister so dependent on Lin Qing, Cailin Lin felt a mix of helplessness and envy. She envied that her sister could get along with Lin Qing like that, while she herself couldn't do the same.

Immediately, those alluring eyes couldn't help but shift slightly downwards under Lin Qing's questioning gaze. After a moment, realizing that Lin Qing was watching her intently, she whispered, "It was Die who came to find you!"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong was somewhat surprised to see Medusa acting like a little woman. Something was going on between these two! Although Medusa might be Lin Qing's follower, something was very wrong with her Medusa! Otherwise, given Medusa's previous fierce, arrogant, and cold demeanor, even her subordinates wouldn't be acting like such a gentle little woman.

He was also very curious about this woman who looked exactly like Medusa!

Immediately, Hai Bodong started to gossip in his mind. Then, he saw a pair of narrow eyes that shone with an eerie beauty, and a dangerous glint flashed in them.

Meeting Cailin's gaze, Hai Bodong quickly snapped back to reality, sensing the slightly chilling danger emanating from her. He shuddered and hurriedly said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

Hai Bodong left without a trace. He felt that if he didn't leave, Queen Medusa might silence him, so he left in a great hurry.

Seeing Hai Bodong's maturity, Cailin's somewhat dangerous gaze softened slightly. Now she found the little old man she had once sealed away a little more agreeable.

"Alright!" Seeing Hai Bodong leave in a hurry, he glanced at Cailin's expression and felt that this woman was starting to come alive. Although the original majestic and arrogant queen still had the feeling of a queen, she ultimately lacked a bit of vitality.

Come to think of it, if the original Queen Medusa hadn't acted more defiantly and forcefully regarding the future of her race, the Snake-People Tribe would have been swallowed up by the surrounding powers long ago. Now that she has no worries about the future, she is at her most authentic.

"Please sit down!" Lin Qing then poured two cups of tea for the two of them.

"By the way, what do you think of the Snake-People Tribe's new territory? Which surrounding empire do they want?" Lin Qing asked.

Cailin, accompanied by Caidie, gracefully sat on the stone bench, her slender hands holding a teacup, slowly sipping it. Hearing Lin Qing's words, she put down the teacup and said:

"Let's choose the Magic Beast Mountains within the territory of the Jia Ma Empire."

"Alright, then you can just go with Zi Yan and the others."

"By the way, there are Seventh-Rank Magical Beast deep within the Magic Beast Mountains. Although I gave Zi Yan a Dou Zong- level Heavenly Demon Puppet, that was ultimately for her. This Dou Venerable- level Heavenly Demon Puppet is for you!"

As he spoke, Lin Qing raised his arm, and a golden Puppet appeared in the courtyard. He then told Cailin the method of branding the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Thank you!" Cailin pursed her lips, her eyes brimming as she looked at Lin Qing.

"You're welcome. We're not just collaborators and followers, we're friends too, aren't we?" Lin Qing looked at Cailin with a serious expression.

Although Cailin's gaze towards him has softened considerably recently, and her attitude towards him has become much gentler, he does indeed admire Cailin quite a bit. However, in the past, his efforts to win her over were mostly driven by a desire to win her over.

He wasn't narcissistic; he was just a human being, and gradually came to regard the other person as a friend as they spent time together.

"Friends? But I'm a very greedy person!" Cailin's charming eyes were fixed on Lin Qing, her red lips curving into a beautiful arc, and she chuckled lightly as if joking.

"From now on, I will hand over the management of the Green Emperor Pavilion to you." Lin Qing ignored Cailin's expression and instead chose to delegate authority and make grand promises.

He didn't believe that the other person would fall in love with him in just a year. When it comes to feelings, if you're unsure, don't rush in, because you'll lose badly.

Seeing Cailin's gaze softened even more, but she immediately stopped her probing.

She also knew that relationships couldn't be rushed and everything had to take its time. Lin Qing wasn't the type to fall in love quickly; he preferred someone who would support him and cherish him through thick and thin. She had a significant advantage on her side and was confident she could win over the young Lin Qing!

The arrival of Cailin other two girls did not cause much of a stir, except for Hai Bodong, who was trembling with fear.

"Master Lin, I'm begging you this time!"

In a magnificent Reception Hall of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Lin Qing and Jia Xing Tian sat facing each other, while Yaoye and Princess Yao Yue stood by, serving them tea.

He was there to treat the Nether Sea Flood Dragon for the Imperial Family. Although he had the Primordial Bone-Shaping Pill, this Medicinal Pill could only be used in conjunction with Heavenly Flames to achieve its maximum effect.

Looking at Lin Qing across from him, Jia Xing Tian showed no airs or arrogance of an Imperial Family guardian. He showered Lin Qing with praise and flattery without hesitation. After all, an Eighth-Rank Alchemist was far stronger than him, a Dou Zong. If it weren't for their slight connection, he wouldn't even be a gatekeeper for Lin Qing.

Besides, he only broke through to the Dou Zong because of the other party.

Jia Xing Tian's praise and flattery were quite sophisticated, but Lin Qing, who had heard such words many times, clearly let them go in one ear and out the other. He knew very well that all of this was based on his strength. In this world, if you want people to respect you, you must have the strength to inspire fear.

After Jia Xing Tian praised him, Lin Qing went straight to the point. "Jia Xing Tian, lead the way!"

Upon hearing Jia Xing Tian, Jia Xingtian was overjoyed and immediately stood up, saying, "Please follow me, Master!"

Led by Jia Xing Tian, they quickly arrived at the gardens behind the imperial city.

After crossing a forest, a huge lake appeared before the two of them.

Upon arriving at their destination, Jia Xing Tian turned around, took out the Medicinal Pill, and handed them to Lin Qing, saying with a smile, "Thank you! Master Lin!"
