Chapter 118 Green Barbarian
Chapter 166: Lv Man
The external manifestation of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupilsbefore activation was the appearance of three extremely tiny, emerald green dots in the pupils.
Mu Yang was very curious if the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupilscould evolve into Jade Serpent Myriad-Flower Pupils, or even Jade Serpent Reincarnation Pupils.
But this wasn't the Eye Village from Naruto, so the possibility was likely small. He could try it later if the opportunity arose, but for now, he should focus on how to activate these unique pupils.
The Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, which could control living beings, seemed to be related to spiritual power no matter how he looked at it. But how could he quickly enhance Qing Lin's spiritual power?
Seeing Mu Yang fall into deep thought once again, Qing Lin was a bit confused. She silently ate the dried fruit in her bowl until the commotion outside the teahouse startled Mu Yang.
He looked out the window. Across from the teahouse was a map shop called 'Gutu'.
It should have been 40 degrees Celsius, but an eerie coldness emanated from the street, and the source of the coldness was that map shop. At this moment, the main door of the Gutu shop was tightly shut, and chilling flashes of light occasionally burst out from inside, almost hitting several passersby.
Pedestrians on the street fled in a panic, moving away from Gutu, while also not forgetting to report the abnormal situation to the city guards.
"Young Master, shouldn't we hide?"
Qing Lin asked worriedly. Now the entire teahouse was empty; even the proprietor and waiters had run off.
After all, the commotion was quite significant, not something a Dou Shi (Battle Master) or Great Dou Shi (Great Battle Master) could produce. Moreover, some people, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, spread rumors that the Snake-people were attacking the city.
So, the entire street was now left with only Mu Yang, Qing Lin, plus the people fighting inside Gutu.
"No need."
Mu Yang shook his head. He had specifically chosen this window-side seat to observe Hai Bodong.
As one of the few people who knew the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame, Hai Bodong would undoubtedly become a target for many Contractors interested in the abnormal flame.
Contractors who originally felt they lacked the strength to compete for the abnormal flame, after learning that the combat power in the Gama Empire region was suppressed, also became interested.
Such an opportunity was rare, and the desire of the Contractors to covet the Green Lotus Core Flame reached its peak.
Now, on only the second day, someone had traveled thousands of miles to find Hai Bodong, clearly wanting to learn the location of the abnormal flame from him.
Approximately 5 minutes later, a group of people ran out of the Gutu shop, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Boss, this Hai Bodong is too ruthless."
"Didn't they say his strength was suppressed? Why is a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) so hard to fight!"
The few people, who were on good terms, chattered, easing the tension in their hearts after the battle.
"At least we got the map marking the Green Lotus Core Flame. It's a pity we couldn't get the remnant map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame; otherwise, this trip would have been perfect."
Listening to their conversation, Mu Yang was a little surprised.
These four people weren't very weak, but their highest main attribute was probably only around 25 points. How could they get something from Hai Bodong?
Mu Yang felt there seemed to be something fishy, or perhaps the four had offered Hai Bodong an irresistible condition, which was why they obtained the abnormal flame map.
Silently watching the four leave, Mu Yang remained seated in the teahouse, not rushing to act.
After another period of thought, Mu Yang attempted to teach his meditation method to Qing Lin.
His meditation method was definitely among the better ones for the First Rank, but its attributes might not perfectly match Qing Lin. The Snake-people bloodline was cold and yin, while the meditation method Mu Yang created for himself was certainly a coexistence of light and fire, which theoretically would conflict. However, Qing Lin could use it.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, I feel warm all over."
Qing Lin tried hard to recall her feelings during meditation. She only felt like she was in a very warm, comforting embrace that she was reluctant to leave, with no discomfort or pain whatsoever.
"Meditate more these next few days. I'll need your help with something later."
"Yes!"
Qing Lin seemed very happy to hear she could help Mu Yang.
Spending the past two days just eating, drinking, and playing, doing nothing, made her feel very uneasy and unaccustomed to this leisure and peace she had never experienced before.
Sitting idly in the teahouse for half a day, Mu Yang saw no less than four groups of Contractors come to Hai Bodong to ask for the abnormal flame map.
And apart from the first group of four, other Contractors, as long as they didn't speak arrogantly, generally wouldn't have a direct conflict with Hai Bodong and could easily get their hands on the abnormal flame map.
"Interesting—"
Mu Yang didn't think Hai Bodong was so easy to talk to. In the original story, his temper was very peculiar; he would rather stay in this city alone for more than ten years than return to the Mi Te'er family for help.
But now, the map of the abnormal flame was given away so readily. Clearly, someone wanted to stir up the 'lava' that was the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Who exactly, Mu Yang didn't know.
But it didn't seem like people from the Black Sail Merchant Guild; those black merchants would only hide in dark corners to swindle others, not themselves.
However, he had been sitting in this teahouse for so long; why hadn't the person he was waiting for arrived yet?
Mu Yang impatiently checked the time. There were no traces of black merchants on Ruo Li's side either. Could he have guessed wrong? Was the Black Sail Merchant Guild not interested in the Green Lotus Core Flame?
After waiting a little longer, the black merchants didn't come. Instead, two guests, who were supposed to appear later in his plan, showed up first.
Mu Yang looked towards a corner of the street and said softly:
"Since you've come, why not step out directly? Why hide in the corner and peek?"
The woman in green, hidden in the dark, was startled. Although she wasn't good at concealing her aura, she had used a Dou Skill (Battle Skill) for it.
She had only just glanced at Mu Yang, and he had already discovered her? This perception was terrifying!
After thinking, she still walked out and nodded to Mu Yang.
"Sit."
Mu Yang pulled Qing Lin to the seat beside him, motioning for Lv Man to sit opposite him.
"Your Excellency knows who I am?"
Lv Man saw that Mu Yang was not surprised by her appearance, and her expression involuntarily became serious.
Her and Bai Ya's actions were considered secretive, but in the past two days, they had flown directly from another empire to here. Logically, no one should have known their whereabouts so quickly.
"I didn't know before, but after seeing your appearance, it became clear. Lv Man of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. It's said you often travel with the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor. Is he not with you on this trip?"
"The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's massive size always causes public commotion, so I left him waiting outside the city."
As she spoke, Lv Man's gaze fell on Qing Lin.
Although she couldn't directly see Qing Lin's eyes, her intuition told her that this little girl was the owner of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils.
But the bad news was that someone had found this girl before her, and their relationship was very good.
Forcibly taking her wouldn't work either. She couldn't quite see through the man in front of her. He didn't seem strong, but he also seemed very strong.
This strange feeling made Lv Man indecisive and afraid to act.
"Qing Lin is a shy child. Please don't keep staring at her, thank you."
"My apologies, I couldn't help myself."
Lv Man's tone was full of apology, completely lacking the majesty of a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) expert.
Afterward, the atmosphere became tense for a while.
Mu Yang didn't speak, only looked out the window, occasionally taking a sip of tea. Qing Lin, meanwhile, rested her head on Mu Yang's chest, silently meditating. Neither of them paid attention to Lv Man, which made her feel somewhat awkward and wronged.
