Xiao Ling stared intently at the eerie emerald pupils when he suddenly sensed a soul wave emanating from them. Instead of blocking it, Xiao Ling sensed its power.
With Xiao Ling's soul at the early stage of the spiritual realm, Qing Lin, who had yet to cultivate, naturally had no effect on Xiao Ling.
However, from Xiao Ling's perception, this unintentionally released soul wave was enough to affect an ordinary Dou Ling. Even a Dou Wang or Dou Huang would be dazed if caught off guard.
"As expected of the legendary Green Serpent's Three Flower Pupils, their power is truly terrifying. With this mind control ability, if the opponent isn't paying attention, a cross-level battle wouldn't be a piece of cake." Xiao Ling gasped and sighed inwardly.
He gazed back at Qing Lin's watery eyes. The three tiny emerald green dots vanished silently.
As they exchanged glances, Qing Lin was about to agree, but then he remembered the tainted Serpent-man bloodline within him.
Since childhood, he had been hated and cursed by countless people because of the snake-man blood in his body. Everyone looked at him with deep hatred.
"If Master Xiao Ling knew that he had the blood of the snake-man in his body, he would definitely look at me with the same eyes." Thinking of this, Qing Lin lowered his head again, not daring to look Xiao Ling in the eye.
He did not receive a reply from Qing Lin. Seeing Qing Lin's inferiority, Xiao Ling probably guessed Qing Lin's inner thoughts.
Lifting Qinglin's lowered head and letting it look into his eyes, Xiao Ling said seriously: "Qinglin, I know that you have the blood of the snake people flowing in your body. Maybe others will hate you because of this. But don't worry, in my eyes, you are Qinglin, no different from a normal person. I will not be prejudiced against you because of the snake people blood in your body."
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Qinglin's body suddenly began to tremble slightly, and asked in disbelief: "Master Xiao Ling, don't you really not care about the snake people blood in my body? And I heard from Captain Xiao Ding that Master Xiao Ling is a Dou Wang strongman, and his alchemy skills have reached the sixth level. How could he fall in love with a maid like me?"
Xiao Ling He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "In my eyes, whether human or snake-people, we're all equal. I'll treat anyone who treats me well. I even have a companion who lives next door, and she's actually a transformed demon beast." He
stroked Qinglin's head again and spoke gently, "And Qinglin, don't feel inferior because you have snake-people blood in your veins. Ordinary human-snake-people hybrids don't survive past the age of two, but you've survived so well, which means you must have something special. These people don't appreciate your preciousness, so let me protect you."
As Xiao Ling finished speaking, Qinglin was already in tears, wiping away her tears with both hands.
"Mom, I've finally found the person you said would accept everything about me. I'll have a family in the future."
Seeing Qinglin's tears welling up, Xiao Ling pulled her soft body into his arms, gently patting her back and caressing her head.
After Qinglin calmed down, Xiao Ling lifted her petite body and placed it on his lap.
Gazing at Qinglin's still slightly red and swollen eyes, he gently said, "Qinglin, will you be my sister and part of my family?"
Asked again by Xiao Ling, Qinglin nodded without hesitation, sobbing slightly, "I do."
Xiao Ling felt incredibly happy after receiving a satisfying answer. Qinglin had been successfully abducted, and he now had a significant helper by his side.

Although he intended to take Qinglin with him because of her physique, Xiao Ling wanted to recruit her.
However, he would also take good care of Qinglin, treating her like his own sister.
Whether it was Xiao Xun'er or Zi Yan, although Xiao Ling approached them with ulterior motives, they were still his family, whom he would protect with his life. Anyone who touched Xiao Ling's reverse scale would face a life-or-death struggle.
After another conversation with Qinglin, the two became more familiar with each other. Unfortunately, although Qinglin was willing to be Xiao Ling's sister, she continued to call him "Young Master."
Xiao Ling had tried to dissuade Qinglin from addressing her that way, as Qinglin held a very important place in his heart.
For some reason, Qinglin agreed to everything else, but was extremely stubborn about the name.
Xiao Ling had no choice; perhaps it was a kind of psychological comfort for Qinglin.
Combing Qinglin's hair behind her ears, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Qinglin, I will teach you how to practice later. Let me tell you a good news, you are a rare genius in practice."
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Qinglin nodded and said, "Since the young master wants to teach Qinglin to practice, Qinglin will definitely practice hard and be able to help the young master as soon as possible."
He took out a storage ring and put it on the ring finger of Qinglin's left hand. Xiao Ling introduced, "This storage ring was given to me by my alchemy mentor a while ago. I don't need this storage ring now. Qinglin, you don't have a storage ring yet, so carry it with you for now."
Qinglin opened his palm, looked at the storage ring on it, and asked in a somewhat curious tone, "Young master put the ring in this position, is there any meaning?"
Hearing Qinglin's question, Xiao Ling realized that the place where he put it on was a little unusual, but he didn't pay much attention to it just now. He just randomly chose a finger to put it on. Maybe this was God's arrangement.
Waving his hand, Xiao Ling replied, "It doesn't mean anything. Don't think too much about it."
In order to change the subject, Xiao Ling quickly took out some bottles and jars from the storage ring, pointed to the porcelain bottles, and said to Qing Lin, "These are the resources you will use when fighting with your energy. The green liquid is the foundation-building spirit liquid. Fill a wooden bucket with water, then pour a drop of foundation-building spirit liquid into it and soak it to absorb the medicinal power. The yellow pill is the Huanglong Pill. You can take it directly and refine it. With the help of these two pills, it won't take long for you to break through to the fighter level."
After listening to this, Qing Lin nodded obediently. After Xiao Ling taught him how to use the storage ring, he put the porcelain bottles into the storage ring.
Touching the storage ring on his ring finger, Qing Lin warned himself in his heart, "I must practice hard, so that I can help the young master in the future."
