”Big brother, you’re so kind.”

Qing Lin had spent her whole life under the judgmental gazes of others—she could always feel their fear and disgust.

But Lin Feng’s gaze was different. It didn’t contain the usual revulsion she was used to.

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

Then, as if remembering something, she tilted her head and asked, ”Big brother, you said you needed my help. What is it?”

Seeing Qing Lin’s expression, Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile. This girl is way too easy to please.

Then, he coaxed her gently, ”I just arrived in Rock Desert City and don’t have anyone accompanying me. It’s quite inconvenient. So, I’m looking for a maid to take care of my daily needs. How about it? Will you help me?”

”Big brother, you’re willing to take me in? Of course, I’d love to!”

At Lin Feng’s invitation, a bright light flickered in Qing Lin’s emerald-green eyes.

All these years, he was the first person to treat her with such kindness.

Becoming his maid? She was more than willing.

Besides, she barely managed to eat one proper meal a day. Following Lin Feng, at least she wouldn’t have to go hungry anymore.

”Great! From now on, you’re my maid. First things first—let’s go to a clothing shop and buy you some proper clothes.”

Seeing that he had successfully recruited Qing Lin, Lin Feng was thrilled. He clenched his fists excitedly.

Now that he had Qing Lin, it meant that in the future, he would have a powerful background to rely on.

His path forward would be much smoother.

”Yes, young master.”

Qing Lin quickly adapted to her new role. Looking down at her worn-out clothes, she worried that she might embarrass Lin Feng. So, she immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, she suddenly remembered the bag of gold coins on the ground. She quickly picked it up and said, ”Young master, your gold coins.”

”Hold onto them for me. I might need them later.”

Lin Feng chuckled, gently pinching her soft little cheek.

”Yes!”

Qing Lin carefully tucked the gold coins away.

”Creak—”

Qing Lin gently pushed open the door and stepped inside.

She walked to the center of the room, placing a tray of food on the dining table.

Then, she carefully set out the dishes from the tray.

After finishing her task, she quietly walked over to the bedside and knelt down.

Resting her delicate face in her small hands, she gazed at the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed, deep in cultivation.

A gentle smile spread across her lips.

Lin Feng’s looks were above average at best, but to her, he had the most handsome face on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

These past two weeks by his side had been the happiest time of her life.

Not only did he teach her how to cultivate, but he also protected her from the bullying of others.

She wished that she could stay like this forever…

After a long while, Lin Feng finally stopped absorbing Dou Qi and withdrew from his cultivation state.

As he opened his eyes, he saw Qing Lin kneeling beside his bed, watching him.

With a smile, he asked, ”Little girl, what are you doing?”

”Shua—”

Qing Lin snapped out of her daze.

She quickly stood up, her face flushing slightly in embarrassment.

With a shy smile, she said, ”Young master, it’s time for breakfast.”

Looking at her adorable and bashful expression, Lin Feng shook his head with a chuckle.

He jumped off the bed and walked to the dining table.

After breakfast.

Qing Lin cleaned up the dishes.

Then, she noticed that Lin Feng was standing by the window, staring toward the east, in the direction of the Tagore Desert.

Curious, she asked, ”Young master, why do you always look toward the Tagore Desert?”

”Heh, because there’s a great treasure over there. Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough to obtain it yet.”

Lin Feng’s expression carried a trace of bitterness as he turned back and gently pinched Qing Lin’s now rosy cheeks.

”How could that be?! Young master even defeated a Five-Star Dou Zhe!”

Qing Lin’s eyes widened in shock as she recalled how Lin Feng had easily knocked out a mercenary who had insulted her with a single punch.

Seeing Qing Lin’s look of disbelief, Lin Feng glanced at her emerald-green eyes and said, ”Once you awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, reaching the Dou Zhe realm will be as easy as flipping your hand.

As for the treasure in the desert… at the very least, one must have the strength of a Dou Wang to even have a chance at obtaining it.”

Hearing Lin Feng mention the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils again, Qing Lin’s expression darkened as she recalled what he had told her a few days ago.

Lin Feng immediately understood her inner struggle, but he didn’t pressure her.

A few days ago, he had already told Qing Lin about her unique eyes.

At the same time, he gave her two choices:

First, Follow him to Jia Nan Academy.

Second, Go to Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

At first, Qing Lin firmly chose the first option.

However, when Lin Feng explained that going to Heavenly Serpent Mansion would allow her to become much stronger and provide him with the greatest support in the future…

At that moment, she hesitated.

Going to Jia Nan Academy meant she could stay by her beloved young master’s side.

Going to Heavenly Serpent Mansion meant she could gain greater power and help him more in the future.

This dilemma left the young girl torn.

—

Lin Feng, however, hoped that she would choose Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

There, she would receive the best cultivation resources.

After all, Jia Nan Academy had never trained someone with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils before.

He had no idea if they even had the right techniques for her.

That being said, he did not force Qing Lin to decide immediately.

But considering that she had already wasted so many years, she needed to awaken her bloodline as soon as possible.

So, he only gave her three days to think it over.

And today—was the third day.

—

”Young master, you said that once I awaken my Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Heavenly Serpent Mansion will sense it and send experts to retrieve me, right?”

After a long silence, Qing Lin’s clear voice finally echoed in the room.

”That’s right,” Lin Feng nodded.

”What level will they be?”

”Most likely… a Dou Huang,” Lin Feng replied after recalling the original storyline.

Qing Lin raised her head and gazed at Lin Feng. Then, she suddenly asked, ”Then… if I ask them to help young master retrieve that treasure, will they agree?”

”Qing Lin, you—”

Hearing this, how could Lin Feng not understand her intentions?

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

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

But now, seeing how she was willing to go to a distant and unfamiliar place, just to help him obtain the Heavenly Flame…

If he said he wasn’t moved, that would be a lie.

Instinctively, he wanted to refuse.

But when he opened his mouth… he found that he couldn’t.

It wasn’t because he desperately needed the Green Lotus Core Flame.

It was because Heavenly Serpent Mansion was the best place for Qing Lin to grow.

—

”It’s okay, young master,” Qing Lin smiled sweetly, gently tugging on his sleeve.

She looked genuinely happy—

That is, if you ignored the tears silently rolling down her cheeks.

Qing Lin didn’t know exactly what was inside the Tagore Desert.

But from Lin Feng’s actions, it was definitely something incredibly rare.

This time, she had to help him get it!

Besides—young master once told her:

”If you don’t want to be bullied, you must become stronger than others.”

Only by going to Heavenly Serpent Mansion could she grow faster.

By then… she could truly help her young master.

—

Hearing Qing Lin’s words, Lin Feng realized that her plan was actually very feasible.

Moreover, he wasn’t someone who acted overly sentimental.

Wiping away the tears on her little face, he looked into her eyes and solemnly said, ”Qing Lin, trust me. One day, I will personally come to Heavenly Serpent Mansion and take you back.”

Qing Lin’s emerald-green eyes shimmered with emotions as she softly replied, ”Qing Lin has always believed in young master…”
