Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 70 Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil

Moreover, Qinglin also had some worries in her heart.

This kind young man may have just arrived in Stone Desert City and doesn't know her identity yet. Once he does, will he despise her like the others?

She kept her hands tightly gripping her sleeves, trying not to let him see the scales on her arms.

She was terrified that the kind young man next to her would look at her with disdain; it would make her very sad.

Xiao Bai noticed the girl's slightly nervous eyes and the way she had been tightly clutching her sleeves since she sat down.

"May I see your scales?" Xiao Bai said gently.

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's cute little face turned deathly pale. She carefully took two steps back to the side away from Xiao Bai, and then, with her usual practiced movements, she squatted down, hugged her knees, and buried her head, her small body trembling.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you!" she said, her voice trembling with tears. She deeply regretted her carelessness.

She thought sadly that this young master would definitely look at her with disdain, and for a moment she felt a little desperate.

Xiao Bai had a bit of a headache. This little girl was far too sensitive. Looking at her timid appearance, he sighed helplessly, got up, and slowly walked over to her and squatted down.

"Don't be afraid, let me see, okay?" Xiao Bai patted her little head and said softly.

Hearing this voice, Qinglin looked up with a mixture of anticipation and fear. Seeing the gentleness in his eyes, she breathed a small sigh of relief.

She felt a little happy. The young master did not look down on her. When he held her hand, she did not resist.

Xiao Bai gently lifted the sleeve that had been pinched and was full of wrinkles, revealing a glimpse of blue. On Qing Lin's snow-white wrist, there were some blue snake scales growing. He reached out and touched them, feeling the texture.

"What beautiful scales!"

Qinglin was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone had praised the scales she hated and feared in this way.

A fragile heart, already riddled with wounds at such a young age, exuded a strange feeling, and a pair of bright eyes seemed to shine.

As Xiao Bai was looking at the scales, his soul suddenly sensed something strange. Following this feeling, he saw a pair of eyes.

These eyes have a slightly greenish tint, and deep within the pupils seem to be three extremely tiny emerald green dots, faintly glowing.

Xiao Bai knew that this should be the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. His soul did not feel any disorientation, but he suddenly felt something touch his soul, but it was too weak.

It was as if someone had tugged at his robe; he could feel it, but it couldn't possibly cause him any harm.

Just as Xiao Bai became interested and was about to investigate this so-called number one pupil in the Dou Qi Continent, the three small dots slowly dissipated, and the strange feeling in his soul gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai didn't care. These eyes were too weak right now. If he tried to peer into them, he was afraid he might hurt Qing Lin. It wouldn't be too late to study them when she became stronger. There was plenty of time!

"Young Master, aren't you afraid? Everyone says I'm cursed!" Qinglin asked cautiously in a soft voice.

In the past, people would show disgust and fear whenever they saw the scales on her arms, saying that they were an ominous curse.

Even if those people beat her, they dared not take her life, fearing that the curse would transfer to them.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes inwardly. He hadn't expected that a fantasy world would also be steeped in feudal superstition. Qing Lin's survival might be related to her constitution, or it might just be a matter of probability. There was no curse involved.

Besides, Xiao Bai had read the original novel and didn't find any curses or anything like that in the Dou Qi Continent. These things are very advanced, you know.

The most powerful curses almost involve the principles of cause and effect and destiny. How could a lower plane in the Dou Qi Continent possibly have such a curse!

"When you say you're afraid, are you afraid of the scales on your hands, or are you afraid of that curse?"

"If it's scales, I'm not afraid of snake-like magical beasts, so why would I be afraid of your few pieces?"

"If they're talking about curses, don't listen to their nonsense. There are no curses, just a bunch of ignorant fools!"

Xiao Bai rubbed her little head and said in an annoyed tone.

"Have you thought about leaving here?" Xiao Bai asked, looking at the relaxed little girl.

"Where to leave?" Qinglin was a little lost. In her young heart, this was the place she knew best, the world she lived in. As for the outside world, no one had ever told her.

She occasionally heard others say that to get to other places, one had to cross the desert, which was something she, being weak, could not even imagine. So, although she was constantly bullied here, she never thought of leaving.

"Come with me, are you scared?" Xiao Bai looked at her gently.

"I'm not afraid!" The little girl shook her head, then lowered her head somewhat self-consciously, twisting her fingers and whispering:

"Coco Green Scale can't do anything, all she can do is clean the room, do laundry, and cook!"

Xiao Bai looked at the adorable little girl in front of him with a smile and nodded earnestly:

"That's enough, that's enough. Look, I don't know how to clean the room, do laundry, or cook. Qinglin is already very capable and can be of great help!"

"Really?" The little girl looked up, her innocent eyes revealing surprise.

"Really, from now on, Qinglin will be my little maid, Xiao Bai's only one, okay?" Xiao Bai gently pinched her little cheek and smiled.

"Okay!" Seeing his intimate gesture, Qinglin narrowed her big eyes into crescent moons and nodded heavily.

Hai Bodong, standing to the side, was speechless, wondering why he was being so kind to this young girl he had just met.

With Xiao Bai's cultivation and talent, would he need to go to such lengths to find a maid? Even if he wanted the eldest daughter of the Mittel family as a maid, Hai Bodong would be happy to do so. But he spent so much effort on this little girl, which puzzled Hai Bodong greatly.

Xiao Bai was unaware of Hai Bodong's thoughts; otherwise, he would have spat in Hai Bodong's face, saying, "Who in your Mittel family can compare to her?"

This girl is a natural-born beast tamer in the Dou Qi Continent. Although she can only control snake-type magical beasts, she has her own beast taming space!

The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil forms its own space, capable of holding magical beasts within it.

Moreover, this physique is quite domineering, forcibly absorbing magical beasts to enhance her own power, allowing her cultivation to increase rapidly.

This made Xiao Bai extremely envious; he also longed for a space like that.

It's not for increasing cultivation level, but because when others fight, they are all alone, while having this space allows them to release their pets to gang up on the enemy, while they leisurely drink tea on the side, waiting for the enemy to be dealt with. How wonderful!

Thinking about this, Xiao Bai stroked his chin, wondering if he should also get a pet to play with.

The lion in the Warcraft Mountains?

No, the potential is too low, and there's not much value in nurturing it.

He wanted to find someone who could grow alongside him, so that she wouldn't fall behind and become a burden in the future.

Xiao Bai carefully recalled the original work and realized that there didn't seem to be any suitable magical beasts. If we were to talk about the one with the highest potential, it would of course be that little dragon from Canaan Academy.

But Xiao Bai wouldn't dare treat that girl like a pet! She has a father who's at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm right underground at Canaan Academy!

Xiao Bai pondered for a while, narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but look into the depths of the Tagor Desert, chuckling to himself.
