Stone Desert City is a city located in the Tagor Desert and is also the most intense front line of the conflict between the Gama Empire and the Snake People.
Countless low-level mercenaries roamed the desert, seeking a living every day. Of course, every year, a large number of human men and women were abducted by the Serpent People and taken to the desert.
It is precisely because of this environment that countless tragic lives like Qinglin appear in this world.
However, children with both snake-people and human blood often die before the age of two. Qinglin was an exception. She was already over eight years old, but still lived a healthy life. This situation was both her luck and her misfortune...
Possessing both snake-man and human blood, both humans and snake-men considered it a curse. Having lived for so many extra years, the world had given this little creature nothing but more contempt and ridicule.
Perhaps the only lucky thing is that she still has a mother who loves and cares for her...
Because she carries the dirty snakeman blood, Qinglin's existence itself is a shame to her mother, but as a mother, she still loves her daughter and protects her and raises Qinglin to this age.
The hardships involved are simply beyond the imagination of others...
"Get out! Alita, take this damn thing and get out of my shop. Filthy things with snake blood are not welcome here!"
In a shop, a ferocious bald man was shouting and cursing at a mother and daughter.
The driven mother now protected the tightly wrapped young body behind her, like a female leopard protecting her cubs, ready to explode at any time.
"Booker! We can leave, but you have to give me my flame grass. I desperately found it in the desert. Unless you give me ten gold coins, I will never sell it to you!"
The woman called Alita looked to be in her twenties. Tall and well-proportioned, with tanned skin and a delicate face, she possessed the sensuality and wildness unique to a daughter of the desert.
Although only a five-star fighter, Alita had been a mercenary since she was very young. However, during one of her journeys deep into the desert, she encountered the Serpent People's guards. After being captured, she was insulted by the Serpent People. Although she later escaped, she became pregnant with a Serpent People's child...
From then on, her whole life changed completely!
After hearing what Alita said, the bald man Booker immediately burst into a fierce laugh, clenched his fists, and said with a sinister look on his face: "Want gold coins? Sure, as long as you agree to spend a night with me and serve me well, maybe I will be merciful and reward you with a meal..."
After hearing what the bald man Booker said, the onlookers not only did not stop him, but instead showed disgusting smiles, and some even started to make trouble.
Listening to the harsh noises around her, Alia's pretty face had turned red with anger. She held the dagger tightly in her hand, as if she was about to rush over and fight the opponent to the death in the next moment...
Unfortunately, the bald Booker on the opposite side was not afraid at all, and even raised his chin disdainfully, as if to say: I'm right here, come at me if you have the guts!
After a long time, feeling her daughter's little hands nervously clutching her clothes from behind, Alita finally restrained her impulse.
She still has a daughter to take care of...
Alita couldn't imagine how her daughter would survive if she died!
Turning around, Alita took her daughter's hand and prepared to leave the place. Although she had risked her life to pick the flame grass, and it was the hope for their survival, she still had to give it up...
However, Bald Booker didn't seem to intend to let them go so easily.
The huge body directly blocked the other party's way, and at this moment his eyes were full of a man's desire for a woman.
"Alita! You know, this little bastard is the curse that the snake people have brought to us humans. You can't leave her in this city. As long as you kill her and then obey me, I can guarantee that you will join my Blood Wolf Mercenary Group."
"Dream on!" Alita's eyes were red and she looked at the other person with murderous intent.
Although the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is only a small mercenary group in Shimo City, and its strongest member is only a one-star fighter, it is still not something that a lone mercenary like Alita, a five-star fighter, can provoke.
Judging from the other party's attitude, it was obvious that they were not going to let them go, so Alita had already thought about dying together with the other party.
only...
Holding her daughter's hand, Alita's eyes were filled with sadness...
Perhaps, death is a kind of relief for them.
Just as everyone was watching all this indifferently, three figures had stood outside the crowd without anyone noticing.
Little Doctor Fairy looked at the young mother and daughter being forced, with a look of pity in her eyes. Then she looked up at Ye Chen beside her, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Master, can we help them?"
Ye Chen smiled gently at the Little Medical Fairy and nodded, "Okay."
As soon as these two words came out, the little girl immediately showed a look of surprise.
Well, what she didn't know was that from the conversations just now, Ye Chen already knew the identities of the mother and daughter. The little guy wrapped in the black robe was very likely the Qinglin he was looking for, so even without Xiao Yixian's pleading, he would choose to take action.
However, the development of the matter was a little unexpected. It seemed that Qinglin actually had a mother at this time, which forced Ye Chen to slightly change his plan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen took Xiao Yixian's hand and walked towards the crowd.
After approaching, Ye Chen's body instantly radiated an invisible energy, pushing away those who were blocking his way...
"Damn, who is this? Why are you pushing so hard?"
A man who was pushed away immediately cursed in dissatisfaction, but when he turned around and saw the true faces of Ye Chen and the other two, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically and he quickly hid to the side.
Putting aside Ye Chen's method of pushing people away, his luxurious robe alone was not something an ordinary person could afford to wear. These mercenaries, who had been around for years, were very discerning and could tell at a glance which people they could afford to offend and which they couldn't.
Ye Chen and the other two were obviously the latter, so they didn't dare to say anything more and just dodged and made way.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of Bald Booker and Alita's mother and daughter. Looking at the three people approaching, Bald Booker's face became a little ugly.
Although the other party might be a nobleman, seeing the beauty in his hands, Bald Booker obviously didn't want to give up. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Ye Chen and said with a bow, "May I ask what's the matter with you, sir? I'm Booker, the deputy leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. If you need anything, my Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is happy to make friends..."
