Chapter 72 My Azure Scales Are No Less Than Colorful Scales
"Is this Young Master Chu Xiao? He's just as I imagined."

"No! He's even more heroic, handsome, sunny, and gentle than I imagined."

Qinglin stared intently at Chu Xiao, wishing she could use every good word in the world to describe him.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Qinglin's feelings for Chu Xiao went beyond that; she saw him as a faith and a salvation.

If Cai Lin's warning hadn't still been ringing in her ears, she would have already gone up to greet him.

"Ok?"

Chu Xiao keenly sensed that someone was watching him.

To be precise, everyone present was watching him, but that person's gaze stood out, excessively intense.

He used his spiritual power to distract himself and saw a girl wearing a light green dress. She was petite, but her body was strangely mature in a certain area.

Her curves are almost comparable to Medusa's; any more or less would be too plump, her fullness and slenderness are just right. Her face is slightly immature, but her extremely delicate oval face is like a beautiful porcelain doll, making people want to hold it in their hands and play with it.

She also had bluish snake scales on her wrists, which looked strange and ugly on their own.

When viewed as a whole, it has an unusual tattoo feel, adding a touch of mystery.

But what's most striking are those emerald green eyes, which seem to have the power to captivate the soul.

"Azure Scales!"

"Even without awakening the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, your eyes already possess this bewitching power?"

Chu Xiao immediately realized the other party's identity.

Within the Stone Desert City, she is the only one with such a appearance, a descendant of snake people and humans.

From the other person's eyes, he instantly realized that this person probably also had a copy of the notes.

"Cai Lin came here, could it be because of her?" Chu Xiao immediately thought of Medusa's somewhat strange behavior: "Do the owners of the dungeons already know each other?"

Given Qinglin's current flawed performance, Medusa is probably worried about him.
"Don't worry, I'll never know you can see the notes, so how can I make up stories to fool you?"

"But the flaws are too great for me to ignore; it would be a waste of my intelligence if I failed to notice them."

"Well, another patching is needed. Qinglin's looking at me like that, I think this is going to be a challenge."

Many thoughts flashed through Chu Xiao's mind, but on the surface, there was no flaw in his expression.

"Chu Xiao, is it!?" The pale-faced man, whose hand was being held, threatened again when he couldn't break free: "Even if you are Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's younger brother, you can't afford the price of offending the Sand Mercenary Group!"

"Is that so?" Chu Xiao grinned indifferently.

boom!
The next moment, the man was launched like a cannonball and crashed into a wall ten feet away.

"puff!"

The pale-faced man spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, everyone around felt a blur before their eyes, and Chu Xiao had already appeared in front of the man, raising one foot.

"Click."

Stomping hard on the pale-faced man's chest, Chu Xiao said calmly, "Judging from your attack just now, you intended to injure that old man's hand and leg. I'll cripple you too, and maybe add a few ribs as well. Is that alright?"

The pale-faced man tried to say something, but the pain shot through him and he immediately fainted.

Chu Xiao retracted his foot and then kicked out, sending the person crashing into several people dressed in the same mercenary uniform as the pale-faced man, knocking them all down.

"If the Sand Mercenary Group has any complaints, feel free to voice them!"

"Remember, I am Chu Xiao of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group!"

hiss!
The intense pain made the Sand Mercenary Group realize that the person in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.

They didn't dare to say anything harsh, so they hurriedly got up, picked up the pale-faced man, and left.

The people on the street watched this scene in silence, and began to discuss it after the Sand Mercenary Group members left.

"This guy has really offended the Sand Mercenary Group. He's really screwed over."

"They dare to do this because they must have something to rely on, but I don't think so."

"Otherwise? I think you're just after this guy's good looks, you slut."

"His appearance is good, but judging from the speed this guy just showed, do you think it's easy?"

"There's going to be some excitement in Stone Desert City."

Passersby discussed the matter animatedly, and some even left to spread the word.

Chu Xiao seemed not to have heard anything and returned to Old Man Wu's side.

"This old man greets Young Master Chu Xiao," Old Man Wu said with deep gratitude.

The old man was shrewd and could easily see that the pale-faced man had come specifically to cause him trouble. Even without what he had said to Chu Xiao, he would have found another excuse to attack him.

It was precisely because Chu Xiao was there that he was spared from being seriously injured and bedridden; it was the commander's younger brother who saved him.

"No need to be so polite, old man." Chu Xiao smiled gently: "Your daughter is from my brother's mercenary group, so it's only right that I help you. You haven't told me how to get to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group yet."

“Young Master Chu Xiao, this old man will personally take you there,” Old Man Wu said immediately.

"Why go to all that trouble?" Chu Xiao declined with a faint smile. "Just show me the way."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." Old Wu shook his head hurriedly, his tone earnest: "My skill of making steamed buns to make a living was personally taught by the Second Regiment Commander. It's no trouble at all to show you the way, and you can even meet my daughter."

"Grandpa Wu." Before Chu Xiao could say anything, a crisp voice came from the side.

"Little Qinglin is here." Old Wu looked at Qinglin and smiled kindly.

"Hello, Grandpa Wu," Qinglin greeted him with a smile.

The old man and his daughter were among the few people who treated her well.

Therefore, she volunteered to take on the task of fetching breakfast.

"I've come to get the steamed buns."

Feeling the undisguised disdain in the eyes of passersby, Qinglin lowered her head, looking timid.

Like a frightened little rabbit, ready to run away at any moment, it evokes a sense of pity in people who see it.

"Everything was prepared a long time ago, here you go."

Old Wu opened the lid of a large steamer, took out a full bundle, and handed it to Qinglin.

The latter looked small with slender wrists, but she could lift a large bundle that was half her height without breaking a sweat.

Seemingly remembering something, Old Man Wu looked at Chu Xiao and said, "Young Master Chu Xiao, this Qing Lin is a maid of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. She's here to collect breakfast for the mercenaries staying at headquarters. Why don't you let her take you to find the group leader?"

Chu Xiao turned to look at Qing Lin and asked, "Are you a descendant of the snake people and the human race?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to jot down a note in his notebook, his thoughts being directly translated into text.

I bought some steamed buns from Old Wu for breakfast. He taught my second brother how to make them, and he generously shares them with the families of mercenaries to earn a living.

[I happened to run into Qinglin, who came to pick up steamed buns for the mercenaries who stayed behind at headquarters. It feels like the last time we met was seven days ago during the battle against the Heavenly Evil God, but it's been a hundred years since I last saw her. It reminds me of reincarnation. Reincarnation, Dou Di, Ascension, Encounter with the Evil Clan, Severe Injury, Reincarnation Realm, Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace—these memories are just fragmented pieces. How annoying.]

The women who discovered the updated notes: !

Have you encountered Qinglin?

Is this just a coincidence?

It's likely they deliberately bought steamed buns there by accident.

"If you're annoyed, just write more notes. The more you write, the more memories you'll recover, right?" Cao Ying, who was still lying in bed, opened her eyes, yawned, and got up: "You really don't understand anything. You tormented me like that last night."

"So this is it?" Medusa, who was on her way back to the snake-people tribe, paused, pursed her red lips, and continued on her way.

As for Qinglin, he can only hope for the best.

If she were to make jokes or banter, it would only arouse Chu Xiao's suspicion even more.

"Young Master Chu Xiao must have known I would come here to pick up the steamed buns, so he deliberately waited for me here." Qing Lin felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

The young master went to great lengths to see her sooner and make it reasonable for him to have contact with her later.

She was also thinking about how to approach Chu Xiao without arousing suspicion after he joined the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

It turns out that with Chu Xiao around, there was no need for such trouble, just like with Sister Cai Lin.

Qinglin's happiness is just around the corner.

"Yes, young master." Qinglin suppressed his joy and continued to lower his head, pretending to be shy.

Seeing her like this, Old Wu felt a pang of regret.

He himself didn't dislike Qing Lin, and Chu Xiao's approachable demeanor made him forget that most people disliked people like Qing Lin.

If Chu Xiao doesn't like Qing Lin, it will be a disaster for both him and Qing Lin. What should we do?
