Chapter 29 Seed
Chen Xiao knew that investing in Qinglin was very simple. If you treat her with sincerity, she will repay you a hundredfold. But even though it was so simple, it still moved him.

No one can predict what the world will look like in ten years or a hundred years, and what they will look like.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao believed that the two questions and two answers just now were enough to make him remember them for a long time.

"Pack up your things and let's go to Mocheng."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was as timid as a kitten, Chen Xiao raised his right hand slightly, wanting to rub her head to comfort her, but he felt it was too abrupt and might scare her, so he quietly withdrew his hand.

Qinglin nodded heavily, and with anticipation for the future, he trotted into the house. Under Chen Xiao's gaze, he neatly packed up his limited belongings.

From beginning to end, I never asked any more questions.

The experiences she had in Shimo City over the years had made her understand one thing at such a young age.

Talking too much will only make people dislike you more.

"Sir, I've packed it up."

In less than five minutes, Qinglin had packed up all the things he was going to take away, and even put the two steamed buns left in the bowl on the table into his arms.

"Well, give me the things. It's not far to Mocheng, but it's not close for you either."

Looking at the two small packages she tied with a thin rope, Chen Xiao spoke out.

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Chen Xiao added another sentence.

"I have a storage ring, which saves trouble."

After hearing this, Qinglin handed the thing to Chen Xiao.

After locking the cabin from the outside, the two of them walked towards the gate of Shimo City one after the other.

Because he was carrying Qinglin, Chen Xiao did not rush to spread his purple cloud wings and travel, but chose to walk.

This will greatly extend the time required.

By the time the sun set, Chen Xiao estimated that he had only completed half of the journey.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Qinglin's face showed an unconcealable fatigue, and Chen Xiao reached out his hand at the right time.

"Hold on to me, I'll take you there, otherwise we'll have to travel in the dark."

In fact, Chen Xiao didn't need to rush back to Mocheng. He could set off early tomorrow morning.

However, he had a little selfish thought in his heart. He wanted Qinglin to open her eyes tomorrow and see the rising sun from a completely new angle in a completely new place, just like her life, which was about to open a new chapter.

Looking at the hand Chen Xiao extended to him, Qinglin hesitated.

Because the only piece of clothing that fit her normally had to be washed, the robe she was wearing was a little too big for her.

If she stretched out her hand, she would inevitably reveal the dense green scales on her arm that looked like snake scales. She didn't know whether the man she met today would feel disgusted with her like the mercenaries before.

Little did she know that her worries were completely unnecessary for Chen Xiao.

"Don't worry, I saw it when we were in the cabin."

Qinglin felt uneasy, but she found that Chen Xiao's gaze was the same as when he first saw her, without any difference.

Perhaps realizing that he was not disliked, Qinglin finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Sir, don't you dislike Qinglin's abnormality?"

A question that didn't sound very fluent seemed to have drained all of Qinglin's courage.

It will take time to change the timid character that I was forced to develop since childhood.

Feeling her nervousness, Chen Xiao shook his head slightly.

"So-called normality is nothing more than a standard set by the majority, a means of seeking acceptance and excluding those who are different. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you're not normal. You don't need to care about other people's opinions, including mine."

"And, if I really want to be picky, I feel uncomfortable when I see asymmetry. When I see two trees, one tall and one short, I want to chop them down to the same height. I have such thoughts that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Isn't that abnormal of me?"

"So, just ignore the doubts of others and boldly follow your own path."

Chen Xiao is not a talkative person usually, but he is willing to say a few more words to the girl next to him.

Listening to Chen Xiao's words, a light seemed to appear in Qinglin's clear eyes.

A seed called 'self-confidence and self-reliance' was quietly planted in my heart. One day, it would take root and sprout until it grew into a towering tree. "Let's go."

Chen Xiao reached out again.

This time, Qinglin did not hesitate any more.

Chen Xiao's palm, which has the attribute of ice, is slightly warm and cool, and so is the girl's hand.

They seem to be really the same kind.

With the help of the Purple Cloud Wings, the journey became much faster.

Even though Chen Xiao was carrying Qinglin, the weight of less than 100 pounds could not cause any hindrance at all.

In less than an hour, the two arrived at Mo City.

In this larger city, accommodation is no need to worry at all.

After finding an inn relatively close to the Haibodong Map Shop, Chen Xiao booked two rooms and let Qinglin go upstairs to rest first.

"Boss, please prepare some more food and send it to her. Also, please ask your wife to go and buy some new clothes."

Chen Xiao took out a small bag of gold coins and handed it to the shopkeeper and his wife.

He had already promised to make sure the girl would no longer go hungry, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word and make her fat.

Just now, while they were on the road, Chen Xiao had already heard the other party's stomach rumbling. If he didn't prepare some food, with Qinglin's temper, he would probably take out the two hard buns to fill his stomach.

"I'm sorry to invite you. Please go back to your room and rest. I'll definitely send the clothes to the girl in two quarters of an hour at most."

Chen Xiao nodded and returned to the room alone.

He took out an amplification pill from the ring and swallowed it. After practicing for less than two quarters of an hour, he heard a knock on the door of the next room.

Without paying too much attention, Chen Xiao withdrew his mind and devoted himself to cultivation.

...

Silent all night.

When there was a knock on Chen Xiao's door, it was already early morning.

"Come in."

After receiving a response, the door was gently pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing a new green dress came into view holding a basin of water.

"Sir, it's time to wash up."

Qinglin didn't sleep well last night, but he looked very energetic at this moment, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be more confident.

Chen Xiao had never been served in his life, and this situation made him quite uncomfortable.

However, he did not say anything to stop it.

After washing up, Chen Xiao had nothing to do, so he started practicing again.

It was not until near noon that he stopped meditating.

After having lunch in the inn, Chen Xiao extended the two rooms for another month, and then took Qinglin out of the city.

"Qinglin, do you want to practice?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Xiao laughed foolishly at his own question.

In this world, who doesn’t want to practice cultivation?

"I'll teach you how to draw qi later."

Regarding Qinglin’s age, the original text did not directly say how old she was. There was only a description that she looked younger than Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is now over eleven years old, so I set Qinglin to be over ten years old, which should be reasonable.

I saw a friend talking about this, so I would like to explain it briefly.
