"I won't let you speak to the young master that way; if you don't agree, I'll blind my own eyes and still won't go back with you."

After speaking, Xiao Ling and the Horned Viper King in front of her were under Qing Lin's control.

They actually broke free from the bloodline suppression and stood straight before Qing Lin.

At the same time, the Dou Qi inside Qing Lin, spurred by her, rapidly gathered beside her eyes.

"Stop, Saintess, don't listen to that dead woman's nonsense; if there's something to discuss we can talk, if there's a task we can help, there's no need to make a scene like this."

Bai Ya, standing aside, saw Qing Lin's resolve, his soul nearly startled away, and hurriedly said.

One must know that the Emerald Snake Three‑Flower Eyes are such a rare constitution.

On the Dou Qi Continent, even a thousand years might not produce one.

And the quest for the Emerald Snake Three‑Flower Eyes has, unknown to how many mansion masters and Elders of Heavenly Snake Mansion, driven them to death.

They had been searching for decades before, and only now finally found it.

Before coming, the mansion master had issued a death‑order: it must be brought back safely.

If Qing Lin is truly set on destroying her own eyes, then the fun has become huge.

After all, they can stop it once, but not repeatedly.

If Qing Lin's eyes are truly destroyed, and they two are the main factor.

Then it's not just the lives of her and Lu Mang that are at risk.

Under the mansion master's fury, even the families behind her and Lu Mang…

…will vanish without a trace from this Dou Qi Continent!

Lu Mang, who said this, was also greatly startled.

She never expected Qing Lin and Lin Feng's relationship to be this close.

Her beautiful eyes glared at Lin Feng, looking at him, and angrily said: "Speak, what's the matter!"

Lin Feng, too, was quite frightened by Qing Lin's actions.

He didn't even have time to speak before the little girl made this move.

Probably she had planned it beforehand; otherwise she wouldn't have hidden behind those two demon beasts in advance.

Yet feeling Lu Mang's piercing gaze, Lin Feng also felt a chill on his scalp.

He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment under Lu Mang's impatient stare.

"Ma De, take a gamble, a bike becomes a motorcycle; in this world you're not strong enough, not even a dog—better give it a try."

He thought to himself, then said, "I would like to ask you two seniors to help me obtain an exotic fire."

"Exotic fire?!" "Exotic fire?!"

Hearing the item Lin Feng mentioned, Bai Ya and Lu Mang were surprised again.

They had also heard of such a rare treasure.

After absorption, that thing can not only boost combat power.

Moreover, those alchemists scour the world for exotic fire.

And they happen to know a six‑star intermediate alchemist; if they trade with that person…

Even if the price is a six‑star pill, that alchemist would likely agree.

Thinking of those benefits, Lu Mang couldn't help but stick out his little tongue and lick his lips.

A six‑star pill, if it can raise the Dou Emperor Realm by one to two stars of Huangji Pill…

…then after they take it, their strength will be greatly enhanced.

Lu Mang and the nearby Bai Ya exchanged glances, both feeling a bit tempted.

"If you dare to scheme for the young master's exotic fire, I will definitely not let you get away."

Having grown up amid discrimination, Qing Lin is naturally very sensitive to changes in gazes; seeing their expressions, she stepped forward to threaten.

"Hehe, Saintess, how could that be? Our Heavenly Snake Mansion deals in reason."

The shrewd, cunning Bai Ya gave Qing Lin a cheeky grin.

He then looked at Lin Feng, tempting, "Kid, you're just a little Dou Practitioner; holding exotic fire is useless. How about we exchange you a five‑star pill for it?"

However, the tone was still peaceful.

But those huge snake eyes carried other implications.

At the same time, it believes that Lin Feng, this little Dou Practitioner…

…cannot possibly resist the temptation of a five‑star pill.

One should know that item is a precious treasure even for ordinary Dou Kings.

"Sorry, I have no intention of exchanging exotic fire."

He shook his head, Lin Feng declined Bai Ya's deal.

Bai Ya, seeing his refusal, instantly exclaimed, "Why are you like this? That's a five‑star pill."

"Kid, if you reconsider and exchange with us, you can get a five‑star pill. If you hold it yourself and happen to be killed or robbed, what then?"

Seeing Lin Feng refuse, Lu Mang hurriedly stepped forward, seemingly kindly reminding.

However, it was a reminder to Lin Feng.

"You, a little Dou Practitioner, get it in hand—what then? We'll just snatch it later."

Feeling the two's pressure, Lin Feng exhaled lightly.

Bai Ya's earlier frantic move already confirmed his certainty.

As long as Qing Lin strongly opposes, this man and snake certainly won't act rashly.

Now, he must not show any panic in front of them.

He lifted his head slightly, gave a faint smile, and said, "Hehe, I as a junior am not afraid of someone coming to rob, but if Qing Lin reaches Heavenly Snake Mansion, her status will surely not be low; if something happens to me and she's in a bad mood, using some female Dou Emperor and a sixth‑tier demon beast, and their families to vent, that would be bad."

Seeing Lin Feng say that, Qing Lin also cleverly went along, saying: "If the young master encounters any trouble, even if it means death, Qing Lin will avenge the young master."

"Good kid!" X2

Seeing that Lin Feng not only wasn't afraid of their threats but even turned around to threaten them, they immediately snorted in anger.

It's only because Qing Lin has a connection with him that they find it inconvenient to act.

If any other Fighter dared to threaten them like that, they would have already smashed them with a single slap.

But upon hearing Qing Lin's words, they couldn't help but suppress that impulse.

If they offend the Saintess, once they return to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Qing Lin wanting to mess with them would be nothing more than a matter of words.

Seeing Lv Man and Bai Ya dare not act rashly, Lin Feng let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Knowing his gamble had paid off, he immediately laughed: "Of course, if someone helps me, Qing Lin will certainly be pleased as well; when the time comes, once she becomes the Saintess, there will surely be benefits."

The snake pupil flickered, and the cunning Bai Ya quickly came to his senses from greed, analyzing the pros and cons.

If it now seizes the Strange Fire, it might obtain a sixth-grade pill, the cost being offending Qing Lin, this Saintess.

If they were to bring Qing Lin back to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and this Saintess Qing Lin harbored resentment toward them.

Then their future days would not be easy.

Even, they might not get through it...

Or after seizing the Strange Fire, killing Lin Feng and Qing Lin, returning empty-handed?

Hmm... that wouldn't work either, as they couldn't get past the Mansion Master.

Furthermore, bringing back Qing Lin would be a great achievement; they might also be able to obtain a sixth-grade pill from within the mansion.

Moreover, if Qing Lin were truly grateful to them, they would have the Saintess as their backing in the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

In that case, their status and that of their families behind them would surely rise rapidly.

But giving up the Strange Fire now, they are somewhat reluctant...
