"No, absolutely not!!!"
A look of panic appeared on Qing Lin's delicate melon-seed-shaped face, and she clasped her hands together over her chest, shouting out almost instinctively.
Having been bullied since childhood, she was timid and always polite to everyone, fearing being disliked or cursed at. She had always felt that her life was bleak and living was painful.
Until she obtained the notebook copy and learned from it that she would also be needed and liked by others.
From that moment on, Chu Xiao became the light that occupied her entire being.
Absolutely, absolutely no one could kill Young Master Chu Xiao!
And the person in front of her gave her a terrifying feeling that she could back up her words with actions.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream pierced the clouds, Qing Lin's delicate body trembled, and her eyes, as clear and translucent as emeralds, flickered. Three small green dots suddenly appeared around her pupils, blurring briefly before becoming clearly visible, like three tiny flower buds.
Immediately following, a faint light suddenly emerged, and the three small dots began to spin. In a breath's time, they actually transformed into three extremely tiny green flowers.
A strange power emerged from these green flowers, turning into a beam of cyan light that shot out violently.
"Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils!?"
Medusa's smile froze on her face, and she instinctively waved a hand.
As a Peak Dou Huang expert, she could barely cast a Spatial Lock.
Within a hundred-meter radius, energy fluctuations below the Dou Zong level could not penetrate or spread.
However, this action also prevented her from dodging in time, and she was struck by the somewhat eerie faint light.
This beam of light slowly moved over her body, finally stopping at her glabella, beginning to slowly shrink, while the light contained within it became increasingly intense.
"Hmph!"
Medusa snorted proudly.
She was a Snake-Person. Not long after birth, she would be injected with a snake-shaped Demonic Beast Soul using a secret technique, serving as her companion Soul, but she was not a snake-shaped Demonic Beast.
The legendary Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils were indeed powerful, but controlling her was absolutely impossible.
"Disperse!"
Powerful Dou Qi surged within Medusa's body, and the dizzying sensation in her mind instantly vanished.
As the faint light dispersed, the tiny flowers in Qing Lin's pupils rapidly receded, finally disappearing from sight.
If she hadn't witnessed the entire process with her own eyes, Queen Medusa would have thought that everything that just happened was an illusion.
"Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils, no wonder…" Medusa flashed in front of Qing Lin, caught her as she fell, and placed her back on the bed, then fell into a daze.
The Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils, that was the number one strange pupil in the world, almost only appearing in the descendants of Humans and Snake-People, so as the Queen of the Snake-People Clan, she understood it very well.
This kind of pupil was the bane of all snake-shaped Demonic Beasts. Except for a few snake-shaped Demonic Beasts with pure ancient Bloodline, it could forcibly control them. After the eyes matured, they could form their own space to store the controlled objects within.
As one's own strength increased, the limit of the eye space would also increase, and the strength of the snake-shaped Demonic Beasts taken into the space would slowly be absorbed.
For Humans and other non-snake-shaped Demonic Beasts, although it could not control them, it could draw out their Soul and seize control of their body.
Theoretically, as Qing Lin's strength grew stronger and stronger, if she could control a Dou Di-level snake creature, she could reach Dou Di.
If she controlled a Heavenly Venerate-level snake creature…
"If you cultivate her early, there's a possibility of her becoming a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign."
"Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils might not be enough, but you are an Alchemist, perhaps you can help her talent evolve, to become five flowers, seven flowers?"
Queen Medusa hadn't expected that her one peek would bring two unexpected surprises.
Being in Stone Desert City, knowing that Chu Xiao's two cousins had established a mercenary group here, and that Qing Lin was in the mercenary group, she naturally wanted to come and see to verify the authenticity of the notebook's content.
Of course, after being tormented 69 times by Chu Xiao's notebook copy, she actually believed it deeply, so when she saw Qing Lin with her own eyes, her heart was not stirred. Instead, she was thinking about how she should appear reasonably when Chu Xiao arrived.
It was at this moment that she heard Qing Lin muttering to herself.
She actually knew that Chu Xiao was coming to find her.
She was as prescient as she was.
A guess emerged in her heart, and she prepared to test it out.
As a result, Qing Lin was not only not frightened but also awakened the Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils.
"Fortunately, this Queen had already set up a Spatial Lock early on, otherwise the fluctuations of your awakened talent would have been discovered by the Sky Serpent Mansion experts and you would have been taken away."
Medusa sat back down on the bed, quietly waiting for Qing Lin to wake up, preparing to have a good talk with her and confirm her guess.
On the other side, Yun Yun transformed her Dou Qi into wings and flew directly into the Xiao Family, landing on the training ground, her aura shocking everyone.
"Your Excellency is Sect Master Yun Yun?"
Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi rushed to the training ground, their faces filled with determination.
If Yun Yun was here to cause trouble for Xiao Yan, although they were no match, they would still…
"Teacher, it seems I will have to break my promise to you."
Xiao Yan, who had been reminded by Yao Lao that he had already reached the edge of the square, clenched his hands.
Yao Lao, inside the ring, sighed deeply and said, "If this old man borrows your body to act, I can stop her."
Upon hearing this, brilliant light burst forth from Xiao Yan's eyes.
But the next moment, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.
"But you haven't reached Dou Zhe yet. If I act, your Meridians will be completely severed. Even if you don't die, you will be completely crippled, and even an Eighth Grade Medicinal Pill won't be able to restore you." Yao Lao's solemn voice sounded.
Xiao Yan, however, smiled freely: "Then I'll just be a good-for-nothing. I've been ridiculed for three years, being an ordinary person isn't so bad."
Yao Lao's heart sank, and killing intent gradually emerged in his eyes.
If he absolutely had to act, then he would kill Yun Yun.
Then he would send out the more promising juniors of the Xiao Family, along with Xiao Zhan, Fang Yi, and especially Chu Xiao.
With Chu Xiao around, there was still a possibility of revenge in the future!
"Elder Ling, get ready."
Xun Er came to one side of the square with her hands behind her back, speaking indifferently, a golden fiery glow appearing in her eyes.
If Yun Yun dared to lay a hand on the Xiao Family members, even if she had had an ambiguous relationship with Brother Chu Xiao, she would die today.
"Swish!"
Yun Yun didn't know that a sharp sword was already hanging over her head. She nodded to Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi, and said calmly, "Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, I have heard about what happened when Yanran came to your clan to annul the engagement."
Clan Chief?
Your esteemed clan?
These titles made many people relax.
This Dou Huang expert didn't seem to be here to cause trouble.
"This…" Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Objectively speaking, there was no problem with Nalan Yanran wanting to annul the engagement, but her handling of it was very inappropriate.
However, even if he had the courage to say this to Yun Yun, he had to consider the entire Xiao Family members.
He was actually very confused that Yun Yun had personally come for this matter.
Had she abandoned her demeanor as a strong practitioner and her status as a Dou Huang?
"Yanran's actions were improper, and I also acknowledge this. The Qi Gathering Powder is compensation." Yun Yun continued to say words that surprised everyone: "Since the three-year agreement has been made, it's not appropriate to cancel it. I think it's fine for the two of them to have a private match at that time, there's no need for everyone to know."
"If Yanran wins, the matter will be completely written off from then on."
"If Young Friend Xiao Yan wins, Yanran will apologize to him publicly and give the Xiao Family some compensation."
"What do you think, Clan Chief Xiao Zhan?"
What do I think?
Xiao Zhan felt like he was dreaming.
Yun Yun's demeanor and magnanimity made him prostrate himself in admiration.
