Chapter 36: Scheming to Obtain the Strange Fire

Big brother, you're really good.

Qinglin spends her days under strange looks, and she naturally senses them.

In Lin Feng's eyes, there was none of the usual fear and disgust that others showed when looking at her.

Her delicate nose twitched, and her small face instantly filled with emotion.

Immediately, it seemed she had remembered something.

She tilted her little head and asked, "Big brother, you just said you wanted Qinglin to help you—what is it?"

Looking at Qinglin's earlier expression, Lin Feng's mouth twitched; this girl really is easy to please.

He then coaxed, "Big brother, I've just arrived at Stone Desert City and have no attendants, so it's inconvenient. I want to find a maid here to take care of my daily needs—how about Qinglin helps me?"

"If big brother is willing to take me in, Qinglin will certainly be willing."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's invitation, Qinglin's faintly green eyes instantly flashed a glimmer of light.

Over all these years, Lin Feng is the first person to treat her this well.

Being his maid, she is naturally quite willing.

Moreover, she can hardly get a full meal these days; following Lin Feng, she definitely won't go hungry.

"Good, from now on you're my maid. Come, let's go to the clothing store to get you a suitable outfit."

Seeing his goal achieved, Lin Feng was very pleased, clenched his fists, and said excitedly.

Now that he has Qinglin, it's as if he now has a powerful background.

His future path will also be much smoother.

"Yes, young master."

Qinglin quickly got into character, looked at her own clothes, worried she'd embarrass Lin Feng, and immediately replied.

But then she remembered the bag of gold coins on the ground, hurriedly picked it up, and said, "Young master, your gold coins."

"Keep it safe for me first; I might need it later."

He gently pinched Qinglin's little cheek and laughed.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, she carefully put away the gold coins.

Squeak.

Qinglin gently pushed open the door, walked in, and placed the tray onto the table in the middle of the room.

Then she took the food out of the tray.

After doing all that, Qinglin walked slowly to the bedside and squatted down.

With both hands supporting her pretty face, she gazed at the cross-legged youth cultivating on the bed, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The youth's looks could only be described as above average, but in her eyes, this is the most handsome face on the Dou Qi Continent.

The half month she's spent by the youth's side has also been her happiest time.

He not only guides her cultivation, but also protects her from being bullied by others.

How she wishes to spend her whole life just like this...

After a long while, Lin Feng slowly stopped absorbing dou qi and ended his cultivation.

Opening his eyes, he saw Qinglin by the bedside and smiling, saying, "Little girl, what are you doing?"

Whoosh—

The dazed Qinglin then remembered her duty and hurriedly got up.

She gave an embarrassed smile and then said, "Young master, it's time for breakfast."

Looking at the somewhat cute Qinglin, Lin Feng laughed, shook his head, jumped off the bed, and walked toward the table.

"Young master, why do you always like to gaze toward the Tagor Great Desert?"

After breakfast, Qinglin tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, saw Lin Feng standing by the window gazing eastward toward Stone Desert City, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, because there's a great treasure over there, but unfortunately my strength isn't enough to get it!"

Lin Feng's face bore a bitter smile as he turned his head and pinched Qinglin's small face, which had become rosy from overcoming malnutrition.

"How could that be? Young master, you can even defeat a five-star Dou Zhe!"

Thinking back to the scene where a mercenary had insulted her and then Lin Feng punched him flying, Qinglin's face showed shock.

Looking at the incredulous Qinglin, Lin Feng glanced at her faintly green eyes and said, "Believe me, once you activate the Azure Serpent Triple‑Bloom Eye, becoming a fighter will be easy; as for that thing in the desert, you'll at least need the strength of a champion to have a chance to obtain it."

Upon hearing Lin Feng mention the Azure Serpent Triple‑Bloom Eye again, and recalling his words from a few days ago, Qinglin's gaze dimmed and she fell silent.

Seeing Qinglin's expression, Lin Feng knew what she was troubled about, but he did not urge her.

A few days earlier, Lin Feng had already told Qinglin about the Azure Serpent Triple‑Bloom Eye.

At the same time, he gave her two choices: one, go with him to Jinan Academy; two, go to Heavenly Snake Mansion.

At first, Qinglin naturally firmly chose the first option.

However, after Lin Feng told her that going to Heavenly Snake Mansion would let her become stronger in the future and give him the greatest help.

At that moment, Qinglin began to hesitate; going to Jinan Academy would let her always stay with the young master she loves most.

Going to Heavenly Snake Mansion would grant her greater power, enabling her to better help the young master in the future.

This difficult choice left the girl indecisive.

And Lin Feng, in his heart, hoped Qinglin would go to Heavenly Snake Mansion.

That way, she could obtain the best cultivation environment.

After all, Jinan Academy had never cultivated the Azure Snake Triple Flower Pupil before.

He also didn't know whether there were any suitable cultivation techniques for Qinglin there.

However, Lin Feng also did not force Qinglin to make a decision on the spot.

But considering that Qing Lin has already wasted so many years, we must now develop her Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes as quickly as possible.

So we gave her only three days to consider, and today is the third day...

"Young master, you mean that once I activate the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes, Heavenly Snake Mansion will sense it and then send a strong one to fetch me, right?"

The room remained silent for a long while, then the girl's clear voice sounded again.

"Exactly." Lin Feng nodded and replied.

"Then… what level is it?"

"It should be Dou Emperor," he said, thinking of the original text, somewhat uncertain.

She lifted her head, Qing Lin looked up at Lin Feng, and then said, "Then ask them to help the young master get that thing; will they agree?"

"Qing Lin, you..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng, who already knew her plan, was at a loss for words.

At first he took Qing Lin in only because he valued her talent.

Now, seeing Qing Lin willing to go herself to that distant, unfamiliar place so that he can obtain Unusual Fire,

it would be impossible for him not to be moved.

Immediately, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but found himself unable to say it.

It's not that he must obtain the Green Lotus Earth-Core Fire, but that only there can Qing Lin get the best cultivation resources.

"It's fine, young master. Qing Lin has never been able to help you, and this time she can, she's very happy,"

Saying that, Qing Lin grabbed Lin Feng's arm; on her pretty face was a smile, and she truly looked very happy.

The only caveat is, don't look at the tears constantly dripping from the sides of her cheeks.

Although Qing Lin doesn't know what lies inside the Tagor Great Desert,

from Lin Feng's actions it must be a very rare treasure.

She is determined to get it for the young master this time!

Moreover, the young master once said that to avoid being bullied, you must become stronger than others.

And by going to Heavenly Snake Mansion, she can grow faster, and then she'll be able to help the young master...

Hearing Qing Lin say that, Lin Feng also felt the success rate was very high.

Besides, he's not a pretentious person.

He brushed the tears from the little girl's face and solemnly said, "Qing Lin, trust me; in the future, I will definitely go to Heavenly Snake Mansion to bring you back."

"Qing Lin, I've always believed in the young master..."
