From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

It's so terrifying!

Looking at the huge city that appeared in front of her, and the words "Stone Desert" on the city gate, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but cheer: "We've finally arrived! I can finally take a good bath."

After training in the desert with Xiao Feng for more than half a month, Little Fairy Doctor felt like she was going to rot. All she wanted now was to take a good bath and then have a good night's sleep.

"Let's go to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group!"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but show a look of joy as he led Little Fairy Doctor towards the headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Compared to Little Fairy Doctor, who always wore a long robe of ice silk, Xiao Feng had clearly suffered more during this period.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for more than half a month, Xiao Feng's fair skin had turned into a healthy bronze color, and he looked more mature.

Chapter 41 Confidante (Tuesday, please continue reading)

Under the tempering of the gale and yellow sand, Xiao Feng's skin has become much tougher. Although he is not yet invulnerable to swords and spears, his defense is comparable to that of a first-tier magical beast.

After entering Stone Desert City, Xiao Feng and his companions casually inquired with passersby and learned the exact location of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. The two immediately set off for there.

The Desert Iron Mercenary Group is located in the south of Stone Desert City. The courtyard where its headquarters is located is similar to the Xiao Family Compound in Wutan City.

At the entrance of that courtyard stood a large, blood-red banner with the five characters "Mo Tie Mercenary Group" written on it.

Several burly men in short sleeves stood at the entrance, weapons in hand, scanning passersby with their fierce eyes, exuding an aura of iron and blood.

"Excuse me, are you two here to post a hiring request, or is there something else?"

Upon seeing Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor walking towards them, the middle-aged mercenary in the lead immediately went to greet them.

"My name is Xiao Feng, from the Xiao family of Wutan City."

Xiao Feng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "May I ask if your two commanders, both surnamed Xiao, are in?"

"The Xiao family of Wutan City? Xiao Feng?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged mercenary subconsciously muttered a couple of words, then his expression changed drastically, and he revealed an extremely enthusiastic smile, saying, "So it's the Third Young Master of the Xiao family! Please come in, both of you!"

Led by the middle-aged mercenary, Xiao Feng and his group entered the courtyard and, after passing through several paths, arrived at a separate courtyard.

Before even entering the courtyard, Xiao Feng heard two familiar voices coming from inside.

The middle-aged mercenary who was leading the way called out loudly, "Captain, the third young master of the Xiao family has arrived!"

"Squeak~"

The sounds inside the courtyard abruptly ceased, followed by the sound of a door opening, and two tall, slender figures emerged.

The young man at the head of the group wore a white robe and appeared to be in his early twenties. He bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Feng, possessed a refined and scholarly air, and had a hint of wisdom and an almost imperceptible cunning in his eyes.

Another young man, dressed in a mercenary outfit, appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked about seventy percent like Xiao Feng, with a lazy and sinister air about him.

"Big brother, second brother, it's been so long!"

Looking at his two older brothers, who seemed more weathered than he remembered, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and his eyes redden slightly.

Upon seeing this, the rather carefree Xiao Li first stepped forward and gave Xiao Feng a big hug, then asked with some curiosity, "Little madman, why did you suddenly come? Are Dad and Xiao Yanzi doing well at home?"

"I came to the Tagor Desert for training, and since your mercenary group is also here, I thought I'd drop by to visit you."

Xiao Feng said with a smile, "Our father and Xiao Yanzi are doing very well now. By the way, Xiao Yanzi's cultivation talent has been restored, and he has even been accepted as a disciple by an alchemist."

"Really?"

Xiao Li said excitedly, "That's great! It seems our Xiao family will produce an alchemist soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Little Fairy Doctor, saying with a hint of amusement, "Little madman, aren't you going to introduce this beautiful lady to us?"

"Look at my memory!"

Xiao Feng slapped his forehead and took Little Fairy Doctor's hand, saying, "Big brother, second brother, let me introduce you. Her name is Little Fairy Doctor, and she is a good friend I recently met."

"good friend?"

Seeing their intimate actions, Xiao Li couldn't help but tease, "I think they're soulmates~"

"What you said isn't wrong!"

Faced with Xiao Li's teasing, Xiao Feng nodded quite calmly.

Although Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian haven't known each other for very long, they spent more than half a month alone in the desert, relying on each other for life and death. Their relationship has long surpassed that of ordinary friends.

If it weren't for Xiao Xun'er's jealousy stemming from her fear of being reported, Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor's relationship would definitely have progressed even further.

"Little Fairy Doctor, let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother, Xiao Ding, and the one next to him is my second brother, Xiao Li."

"Hello."

The little fairy doctor's pretty face flushed slightly, and she greeted him obediently.

Whether it was psychological or not, Little Fairy Doctor felt inexplicably guilty about meeting her boyfriend's parents.

"Since you and Little Crazy are good friends, from now on you can call us Big Brother and Second Brother, just like him."

After looking Little Fairy Doctor up and down, Xiao Ding nodded in satisfaction: "If that little madman dares to bully you in the future, your second brother and I will definitely teach him a lesson for you."

Because of Xiao Ding's exceptional looks and temperament, he had a very good first impression of her.

Xiao Ding was initially worried that Xiao Feng would be affected by Nalan Yanran's visit to annul the engagement, but now he was finally relieved.

"Alright, we'll talk about other things later."

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "Quickly prepare bath water and a bedroom for us. Little Fairy Doctor and I have been in the desert for more than half a month. Now we just want to take a comfortable bath and then get a good night's sleep."

"Alright, alright, I'll have someone arrange it right away."

At Xiao Ding's command, the servants in the mansion busied themselves, preparing bathwater and guest rooms as quickly as possible.

Xiao Li originally planned to hold a welcome party that evening to celebrate Xiao Feng and the others' departure, but Xiao Ding stopped him.

After all, Xiao Feng and his group had just come out of the desert, and they needed to rest more than attend the banquet.

Therefore, Xiao Ding arranged the welcome party for tomorrow night, which would be a good opportunity to gather the core members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group together and let them introduce themselves to each other.

……

The blazing sunlight streamed through the window, falling onto the dry bluestone floor.

Xiao Feng, who had finally managed to relax, also slept in late, still fast asleep with his blanket in his arms.

"Squeak~"

A soft sound of a door opening suddenly rang out, followed by a petite figure in a light green dress tiptoeing in from outside.

Just as the visitor was about to quietly place the washbasin on the wooden table in the room, he discovered that Xiao Feng had already opened his eyes and was looking at him with curious eyes.

If Xiao Feng wasn't mistaken, the little girl in the green dress who looked to be only a little over ten years old, with delicate features and a porcelain doll-like appearance, should be Qing Lin.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was awake, Qing Lin quickly put down the washbasin in her hand, bowed timidly to him and said, "I...I'm sorry, Young Master Xiao Feng, I didn't mean to wake you up."

"It's ok."

Xiao Feng smiled gently and said, "I usually get up quite early, and today I'm already considered to have slept in."

Seeing that Xiao Feng didn't seem to blame her, Qing Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said nervously, "Young Master Xiao... Xiao Feng, shall I help you wash up?"

Chapter 42 Personal Maid (Please vote, please continue reading)

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he got out of bed, walked to the wooden table, sat down, and looked at Qing Lin with encouraging eyes.

"Crash..."

Qinglin took a deep breath nervously and, imitating the other maids, soaked the towel in water and carefully wiped Xiao Feng's face with the wet towel.

Just as Qinglin was focused on wiping Xiao Feng's cheeks, she noticed that he was staring intently at something.

Qinglin subconsciously followed his gaze and realized that her sleeve was open, and she could vaguely see a few blue snake scales.

That cute little face turned deathly pale instantly. She quickly covered the snake scales with the towel in her hand, her delicate body trembling slightly. In a voice trembling with sobs, she apologized repeatedly: "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Looking at Qinglin's adorable appearance, Xiao Feng sighed softly and reached out to pat her head to comfort her, "Silly girl, you don't need to feel guilty. I just thought the scales on your arm were very pretty, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"..."

Qinglin was slightly taken aback. This was the first time she had ever heard someone say that these scales, which even frightened her, were beautiful!

"Young...Young Master, are you really not afraid?"

Qinglin raised her little head somewhat nervously, looking at Xiao Feng timidly with her large, somewhat eerie eyes.

"Of course it's true."

Xiao Feng reached out and took Qing Lin's small hand, slowly rolled up her sleeve, and gently stroked the blue scales with his fingers, saying with utmost sincerity, "I think these scales are very beautiful and very cool!"

To be honest, Xiao Feng really didn't mean to lie to Qing Lin. In the era he lived in in his previous life, human sexual desires were very free.

Don't say that Qinglin only has some snake scales. As long as she is cute enough, even if she is half-human and half-horse or half-human and half-spider, there will still be a lot of people who like her.

After staring into Xiao Feng's eyes for a while, Qing Lin could sense that he was serious. A strange feeling suddenly arose in her fragile heart, which was full of wounds.

Qinglin felt her breathing quicken and her heart race. Three small green dots faintly appeared in her large, greenish eyes.

Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

“I…I am called Qinglin.”

"Qinglin? That's a nice name."

Xiao Feng murmured Qing Lin's name softly, then got straight to the point: "Why don't you come with me from now on? I happen to be short of a personal maid."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's small mouth opened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"If you are unwilling, I will not force you."
