Chapter 61 The Sensitive Blue Scales! [Please continue reading]

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I do have something I'd like to ask my two cousins ​​for help with."

"Hehe, whatever it is, Cousin Xiao Lei, just tell us, and we will do our best to help you."

Upon hearing Xiao Lei's words, Xiao Ding put down his teacup and smiled.

Xiao Lei said softly, "I came to the Tagor Desert this time to find something."

"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Li asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Strange fire..." Xiao Lei glanced at Hai Bodong beside him and whispered.

"The rarity of Strange Flames is truly astonishing. Although we've spent a considerable amount of time in Stone Desert City, we've never heard of any trace of them."

Xiao Ding hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness.

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I have a map here. The locations marked on it have a very high chance of showing traces of the strange fire."

"However, I am not familiar with the desert terrain around Stone Desert City, so I would like to trouble my two cousins ​​to help me find the exact location of that flame symbol."

As they spoke, Xiao Lei took out the map that Hai Bodong had given him from the system space and handed it to Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding took the map, opened it, and browsed through it. He exclaimed in surprise, "What a detailed map! This is the first time I've ever seen one like this!"

"Hmm, it is indeed excessively detailed," Xiao Li said, leaning closer to examine the map. He suddenly pointed to one of the flame symbols.

"This flaming marker should be located in the eastern part of Stone Desert City, right?"

"Hmm, to be precise, perhaps it's in the southeastern part of the city," Xiao Ding nodded slightly, pondering, "but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual about the eastern part of Stone Desert City, does there?"

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "It's alright, my two cousins. Just send someone to point out the exact location, and I'll go and check it out myself."

"That's the only way," Xiao Ding nodded, then said, "We brothers will go with you. If we can find the strange fire, it might be able to help you."

"Then I'll thank you both in advance," Xiao Lei said with a smile.

After finishing their business, the two sides started catching up again.

The two brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, had been away from Wutan City for several years, and they inevitably missed the Xiao family, especially Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

They learned from Xiao Lei that Xiao Yan's talent had returned and that he was making rapid progress, which made the two brothers very happy.

After catching up, Xiao Ding had the kitchen prepare a sumptuous dinner and personally entertained Xiao Lei and Hai Bodong.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, but Xiao Lei had drunk a bit too much and was helped by Xiao Ding to his guest room to rest.

……

The next day, when Xiao Lei opened his drowsy eyes from his deep sleep, his head still a little fuzzy, he found that it was already broad daylight.

Rubbing his throbbing head, Xiao Lei slowly sat up, forming hand seals for cultivation. He quickly used his battle qi to expel the remaining alcohol from his body.

After expelling the alcohol from his body, Xiao Lei immediately felt much more relaxed, and his mental state returned to its peak.

"Crunch."

Just as Xiao Lei finished his cultivation and stepped off the bed, the door was suddenly pushed open gently from the outside.

A petite figure walked in lightly, but when she saw that Xiao Lei had woken up, she quickly bowed to him and said timidly, "Young Master Xiao Lei, you're awake."

The girl who entered the door didn't seem to be very old; she looked even younger than Xiao Lei. She was dressed in an elegant light green outfit, and although she was petite, she had a rather unusually mature appearance.

A person can possess both naivety and maturity, yet there is no sense of incongruity in their actions.

The girl had a lovely, delicate oval face, like a beautiful porcelain doll. Her timid appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, inevitably evoked a feeling of pity in people's hearts.

Xiao Lei glanced at the girl in green and then nodded kindly at her.

"Young Master Xiao Lei, shall I... shall I help you wash up?"

The girl placed the basin of water she was carrying on a wooden shelf outside the bed, stood nervously by the bed, and whispered.

"Hehe, I can do it myself," Xiao Lei chuckled, walked to the wooden shelf, casually washed up, then turned to look at the timid-looking girl and asked, "What's your name?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the girl was slightly taken aback, then stammered, "I... my name is Qing Lin."

"Qinglin, I've got it," Xiao Lei nodded slightly and casually tossed the face towel back into the basin.

Seeing that Xiao Lei had finished washing up, Qing Lin quickly picked up the basin of water and ran towards the door.

"what……"

Suddenly, the girl tripped over her own feet, the basin of water flew out of her hand, and she fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Seeing this, Xiao Lei stomped his toes on the ground and flashed out, quickly arriving next to Qing Lin. He grabbed her arm and, with a slight effort, helped her regain her balance.

Due to the hasty movement, Qinglin's sleeve was pulled up to her arm, revealing a section of her snow-white wrist.

On that snow-white wrist, there were some bluish snake scales growing.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao Lei," Qing Lin steadied herself, timidly raised her small face, and thanked Xiao Lei, just in time to meet his gaze lingering on her wrist.

Her cute little face immediately turned pale. She pulled her hand away from Xiao Lei's with a little force, hurriedly pulled down her sleeve, carefully took two steps back, then hugged her calves with both hands, squatted down against the wall, her small body trembling.

"I...I'm sorry...I...I didn't mean to scare you," the girl said, trembling as she hugged her legs, her timid voice tinged with anxious sobs.

Looking at Qinglin's sensitive and timid appearance, Xiao Lei sighed softly.

Near the Tagor Desert, there are occasional incidents of human women being violated by snake people.

Normally, snake people do not get pregnant when they have relations with humans; however, there are always exceptions.

There is always a very rare chance that a woman who has been violated by a snake-man will become pregnant and give birth to a child.

And Qinglin is clearly in this situation.

Qinglin's sensitivity and timidity stemmed from her unique background.

People like her are considered a curse by both humans and snake people, and are often met with disdain and ridicule.

Slowly approaching Qinglin's side, Xiao Lei knelt down and gently stroked the girl's head.

Then, seeing her fear, he took her arm, carefully lifted her sleeve, looked at the blue scales, and said softly, "Such beautiful scales."

At this moment, Xiao Lei's heart was free of any ulterior motives; he simply wanted to comfort this poor girl.

In fact, if you take a normal view, the scales on Qinglin's wrist don't look bad at all.

Just then, the system's familiar voice rang out in Xiao Lei's mind once again.
