Chapter 109: Heading to Snake People Tribe

"Qing Lin, wake up."

"Mm~ Young Master Tianming."

After taking a Qi Recovery Pill, Qing Lin quickly woke up from her drowsiness, shook her somewhat heavy head, raised it, and looked at Yun Tianming, who was holding her, with slightly flushed cheeks.

"How do you feel now?"

Yun Tianming asked with concern.

"Qing Lin isn't very clear about the specifics," Qing Lin slightly shook her head, her emerald eyes staring at the motionless Wind Sand Python in front of her. The fear on her face had long disappeared, replaced by curiosity as she said, "I don't know why, but I seem to have established a strange connection with this Magic Beast. I can sense its thoughts."

"Hiss~"

The originally fierce Wind Sand Python suddenly became extremely docile, lowering its huge snake head and spitting out a snake signal indicating submission.

"Very good! You've succeeded, Qing Lin," Yun Tianming praised with a pat on the head.

At this moment, Qing Lin had awakened the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, not only able to forcefully bind Snake-type Magic Beasts and form master-servant contracts but also constantly absorb Dou Qi from the Magic Beast's body, thereby enhancing herself.

With Soul Perception, it was clear that Qing Lin, who had never practiced before, had obtained some Dou Qi from the Wind Sand Python, instantly reaching the realm of a Seventh Stage Dou Disciple, with the Dou Qi in her body continuously increasing.

Yun Tianming couldn't help but sigh, this was another overpowered character.

Thinking that with this Fifth Rank Magic Beast as a pet by Qing Lin's side, he didn't have to worry about the Mo Family coming to steal people when he was away. As for the Heavenly Snake Mansion's people, they could just wait for their arrival!

In Yun Tianming's plan to gather forces to kill Han Feng, the two Dou Emperors from the Heavenly Snake Mansion were also included in his calculations.

"Qing Lin, can you make this big guy smaller?" Yun Tianming ordered.

After all, the current Wind Sand Python was too large, and returning to Rock Desert City might cause a big commotion.

"I'll try."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin turned her head, her gaze focused on the Wind Sand Python, her eyes faintly flickering with green light, as if communicating something. The next moment, the Wind Sand Python emitted a green light, and then its body quickly shrank, turning into a small green snake about half a meter long, coiling around Qing Lin's arm.

The pattern of three petals on the forehead looks cute. No one would imagine that this petite pet could be a fierce Fifth Rank Magic Beast!

"Well then, let's go back."

Yun Tianming deliberately circulated around the Tager Desert these past few days, leaving behind Qing Lin's aura. Others might not notice this faint presence, but certain forces were different.

Returning to Rock Desert City, Yun Tianming prepared to visit Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe alone.

Before this, he issued a task in the city, which was to hire the mercenary groups in the city to protect Qing Lin.

"Don't worry, Young Master Yun! We, the Sand Mercenary Group, will surely protect Miss Qing Lin with our lives!"

Luo Bu saw Yun Tianming as a big opportunity, so naturally, he held on tight.

"We, the West Wind Mercenary Group, are the same. Please rest assured, Young Master Yun, go out and have fun~"

This unconventional captain, teasing him with his eyes, seemed lost in thought.

"Desert Metal MercenaryGroup will surely not disappoint Young Master Yun."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li glanced at each other. Although they didn't want to deal with people from the Misty Cloud Sect, tempted by the rewards, they ultimately decided to take on this mission. They thought since the three major mercenary groups of Rock Desert City were all present, there wouldn't be any need to worry about danger, right?

"Young Master Tianming, you must return safely."

Qing Lin looked at him reluctantly.

"Yes, I will."

Yun Tianming rubbed the latter's head, then instructed the three major mercenary groups behind him, "So, I'll leave it to you here. When I come back, I'll provide you with the Pills you need."

With that, to awe everyone, Yun Tianming publicly displayed his Dark Feather Wings, enveloped the three Snake Women in Dou Qi, and flew into the sky under the admiring gaze of the crowd.

"Master, may I ask where you are planning to sell us?"

The three Snake Women huddled together, their long snake tails intertwining, trembling as they gazed at the ground below.

"Not to sell, but to send you back home."

Yun Tianming replied calmly.

"Home? Can we really go back?"

Upon hearing this, the Snake Women's faces lit up with joy. Ever since they were captured by humans, they had been sold into the underground black market as slaves, expecting to be tortured by depraved nobles. But they didn't expect this young man before them to be kind-hearted, not only not forcing them to do unwilling tasks but also providing them with food and drinks.

"Master, you are truly a good person!"

Yun Tianming remained silent. Hearing their praises didn't stir any emotions within him because he knew he wasn't a saint. The reason he was sending these three Snake Women back home wasn't out of kindness but for other purposes.

As they ventured deeper into the inland of the Tager Desert without concealing their presence, they quickly caught the attention of the strong individuals of the Snake People Tribe.

"Bold human, daring to trespass into the Snake People Tribe!"

A fiery Snake People Dou King, with stretched Dou Qi Wings, flew over from a distance.

...

In Yan City, the provincial capital of the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, in the Mo Family residence.

"Elder, we have good news! The bloodline bracelet detected a strong bloodline aura coming from the direction of the Tager Desert!"

The elderly woman in green attire was a foreign expert who willingly joined the Mo Family a year ago. Although she was only a Dou Grandmaster in strength, she contributed a mysterious bracelet capable of detecting bloodline auras, earning the trust of the Mo Family and becoming an esteemed guest.

"Miss Lu, you handle things well. I, Mo Cheng, naturally trust you."

Mo Cheng's eyes sparkled.

An ancestor of the Mo Family was once an Alchemist, but he wasn't particularly interested in orthodox alchemy. Instead, he focused on researching peculiar and forbidden arts, such as collecting Magic Beasts with special bloodlines and forcibly transplanting their powerful bloodlines into his own body.

This Miss Lu claimed to be a strong individual from the Chu Yun Empire. Due to offending certain powers, she was forced to flee to the Jia Ma Empire and join the Mo Family, offering the bloodline bracelet. Mo Cheng used this item and indeed found some Magic Beasts with special bloodlines, successfully transplanting some of their power into himself.

"Immediately gather the elites of the clan. We're heading to the Tager Desert!"

Under Mo Cheng's command, members of the Mo Family swiftly moved into action.

Miss Lu volunteered to accompany them, thinking to herself: "Using the Mo Family's name to act will avoid drawing attention from other powers. The aura appearing in the Tager Desert is unmistakable! It must be the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils bloodline that the sect has been searching for years!"
