Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

After summarizing all the information Zhang Yuan had provided, Xiao Ding said, "So, Brother Yuan, you're trying to show Medusa some sincerity through this action?"

I can accept even the "bastards" that both snake people and humans look down on, so why can't I accept you snake people?

Xiao Ding guessed that this was what Zhang Yuan meant.

“Hmm.” Zhang Yuan nodded and said, “That’s part of it, but it also shows pity for these mixed-race people.”

"You can't choose who you're born into, but we're lucky enough to be relatives."

"Unfortunate as they are, their mothers were raped, and they had to endure discrimination and contempt after they were born."

What did they do wrong?

That was indeed what Zhang Yuan was thinking.

However, showing some sincerity to Medusa or feeling pity for the human-snake hybrid was not the main purpose.

In the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme. Whether it's the human race or the snake-people, cooperation ultimately comes down to mutual benefit.

If Zhang Yuan can bring benefits to the Snake-People, then this behavior can be called showing goodwill and sincerity.

But if he can't, then Zhang Yuan's behavior will be seen as cowardly and ingratiating in the eyes of others.

Of course, the biggest reason was that he wanted to have Qinglin as his maid.

The opponent possesses the most extraordinary eye in the world, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eye, which almost exclusively appears in the descendants of humans and snake people. It is the nemesis of most serpentine magical beasts, and only a few serpentine magical beasts with pure ancient bloodlines can withstand it.

At the same time, these eyes can also draw out the souls of ordinary humans and other non-snake magical beasts, thereby seizing control of their bodies.

Once the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil matures, it can form its own space within the eye, where controlled serpentine magical beasts can be stored. The spatial authority increases as the eye's owner becomes stronger, and the power gained from devouring serpentine magical beasts feeds back to the owner. Even if the person with these eyes is not a Fighter, they may be able to directly control a fourth-tier serpentine magical beast comparable to a Fighting Spirit.

These eyes are no weaker than Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, and they pose no safety risks whatsoever; they can be considered perfect.

If there's any misfortune associated with having these eyes, it's probably due to the harsh conditions of their birth. Being a hybrid of human and snake-person, they face rejection from a young age and may not live to see their eyes awaken.

"Ah."

Xiao Ding nodded in agreement.

Perhaps because he grew up in the capital and the northeastern provinces, he did not view the snake-people and human-people hybrids with prejudice. He even took pity on a hybrid and took her into the Desert Iron Mercenary Group as a maid.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding said to Zhang Yuan, "There happens to be a snake-human hybrid in the mercenary group. I think we should meet him and learn more about him."

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Xiao Ding immediately shouted to the outside world, "Go and summon Qing Lin."

About fifteen minutes later, a young girl entered the hall, led by a female mercenary.

The girl was dressed in a light green and elegant outfit. She was petite but surprisingly well-developed, with a curvaceous figure. Her breasts were full and her buttocks were voluptuous, while her slender figure was free of any excess fat.

As she walked in, her slender waist swayed naturally, giving off a strange allure, like a beautiful snake dancing, making people subconsciously want to take a second look, even feeling a burning desire. Underneath her skirt were long, shapely legs, and her feet were clad in small sandals that made people want to play with them.

The girl had an extremely cute and delicate oval face with big eyes, giving her the appearance of a delicate porcelain doll. She had a slightly frightened look on her face, like a rabbit seeing a tiger, which made people feel sorry for her.

If there really are people with youthful faces and large breasts in this world, then this girl is the perfect example.

"Qinglin greets the commander."

Qinglin timidly greeted Xiao Ding, her eyes filled with fear and worry.

Although many of the mercenaries in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group disliked her, they never beat or scolded her.

Here, although she didn't have the ordinary life she longed for, she could live safely as long as she did her work conscientiously.

So she was afraid that Xiao Ding, like everyone else, would want to expel her from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group because of things like the "curse".

At that time, her life will surely become very miserable again.

"Qinglin, from today onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of my brother Yuan's daily life," Xiao Ding said gently.

Since his cousin had decided to cooperate with the snake people to improve the lives of the two mixed-race people, he was naturally willing to take the lead and set an example.

"Weren't you trying to drive me away?"

Qinglin felt relieved, but also a little scared, and looked up in the direction Xiao Ding was pointing.

Before her eyes was a young man dressed in a magnificent robe, with an extremely handsome appearance unlike anything she had ever seen before. He seemed to resemble Xiao Ding by two or three points, and he also had a gentle smile.

She had never seen that smile before; it was like a ray of sunshine shining into her heart, making her feel an unprecedented warmth.

But then she lowered her head, her little face flushed, and dared not look again.

She felt that many disrespectful and presumptuous thoughts were arising in her mind!

"Qinglin, is that right? Come up to me." Zhang Yuan said gently.

This was a tenderness that Qinglin had never felt before, and she walked up to Zhang Yuan as if possessed.

"Roll up your sleeve and show me," Zhang Yuan said.

"what!?"

Qinglin subconsciously took a step back, looking at Zhang Yuan with a mixture of confusion and fear.

"Is that alright?" Zhang Yuan's smile remained unchanged, gentle and warm.

This was a sight Qinglin had never seen before. As a maid, she dared not disobey Zhang Yuan's orders and obediently nodded, "Yes!"

"Young Master Yuan, he's very ugly, he might scare you."

With a bitter smile, Qinglin rolled up her sleeves, revealing a small section of her arm.

She felt that she would never have the chance to see Zhang Yuan's smile again.

At that moment, a large hand appeared in front of her eyes and grabbed her small hand, while another hand rolled up her sleeve higher, revealing a patch of shimmering blue scales.

"These scales are quite beautiful."

A voice that made Qinglin wonder if she had lost her mind rang in her ears.

"Beautiful!?"

Qinglin looked up in disbelief and saw the smile on Zhang Yuan's face up close.

"Hmm." Zhang Yuan placed the hand holding the green scale sleeve on her head and gently stroked it, saying, "I never lie, you really are very beautiful."

"From now on, you can confidently show yourself by my side."

My Battle Emperor!

In that instant, Qinglin's already large eyes almost met.

Zhang Yuan was the first person to say that the scales on her body were beautiful since she was born.

Even though she herself believed that these scales were a curse, the source of the tragedy in her life, and that they terrified her every time she saw them.

How could there be such a person?

Accept yourself, and let yourself show yourself confidently!

At this moment, Qinglin felt that she had found salvation in this life.

At that very moment, her slightly green eyes flickered, and three tiny emerald green dots appeared deep within her pupils.

The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil has begun to awaken!

Chapter 113 Take the Amethyst Winged Lion King with you! Let's go kill!

"You seem very touched."

"He really is a child who lacks love."

Zhang Yuan's spiritual realm was extremely high, and he immediately noticed the change deep in Qing Lin's eyes.

The girl was clearly provoked by her own words and actions, and the strong emotions caused a change in her mental power, causing the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil to show signs of awakening.

However, to fully awaken her powers, she would need to find a snake-like magical beast to control her and complete the first master-slave relationship.

"Young Master, I will definitely behave well and serve you diligently," Qinglin said with a flushed face, her emotions becoming excited.

“It’s okay to get used to it slowly.” Zhang Yuan smiled gently and said, “Besides you, I will find some other girls who are half-human and half-snake, just like you, to be my maids. You will be in charge of all of them. You will be the head maid and will be responsible for taking care of me and my wives.”

Even without the extraordinary talent of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Zhang Yuan was still planning to find Qing Lin and some mixed-race girls to serve as his maids.

Snake-people women are known for their fiery and alluring nature, yet they are extremely loyal in love and rarely choose another side. However, snake-people men are true to the saying "snakes are inherently promiscuous," and coupled with the fact that there is an imbalance of yin and yang within the snake-people tribe, they often have many wives and concubines.

These male snake-people look down on humans, but upon seeing an extremely beautiful human woman, they cannot resist their deepest desires and commit beastly acts.

This is why the offspring of snake people and humans are all extremely beautiful. Among them, the very few who are lucky enough to grow up have excellent genes and are outstanding in both cultivation talent and appearance.

However, these mixed-race children faced discrimination and prejudice whether they lived in snake-people tribes or human cities, and their lives were extremely difficult.

In such circumstances, if someone provides them with a peaceful life, or even provides resources to nurture them, they can naturally gain a group of almost loyal followers, whose appearance and talent are also top-notch.

"Mmm!" Qinglin nodded hurriedly, as if pounding garlic.

She never expected that Zhang Yuan would not only take her in as a maid, but also find some "like-minded" people for himself.

Sure enough, Young Master Zhang Yuan was the salvation she had been dreaming of, and she had already begun to fantasize about her future life.

"Brother, you can handle the arrangements for the mercenary group. I'll take care of the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow." Zhang Yuan nodded to Xiao Ding and then returned to the Taixu Realm with Qing Lin.

"Where is this place?"

Qinglin looked around with hope, her eyes filled with a mixture of joy and fear.

Pavilions and towers, lakes and mountains, rockeries and nurseries, birds singing and flowers blooming—it truly is a beautiful scene of a Jiangnan water town.

This was a beautiful sight that Qinglin had never seen before. Her memories were mostly of deserts and Gobi, while oases were the domain of the strong.

"This is my world. From now on, you will live here and serve me."

Zhang Yuan reached out and stroked Qinglin's head again, his eyes flickering slightly.

He remembered that when Qinglin fully awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, it was noticed by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King "White Fang" of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, who then brought people from the Heavenly Serpent Palace to snatch it away.

As a top power in the Northwest Continent, Zhang Yuan did not want to provoke the Heavenly Serpent Mansion at this stage, lest it cause trouble for his rise.

He had not yet gained a detailed understanding of the forces in the Northwest Continent through Ling Ying, but he remembered that when Xiao Yanzi emerged from seclusion at Tianmu and left the Ancient Realm to return to Xingyun Pavilion, Yao Lao told him that the Yan Alliance had sent a message asking for help.

The two mentioned that the Northwest Continent could not compare to the Central Continent in terms of the abundance of powerful figures, but because of its vast territory, it also had many Dou Zun-level experts, and sects and empires were as numerous as hairs on a cow. There were many top forces that wanted to unify it, but they had never been able to achieve it and were in a state of conflict among themselves.

What is considered a top-tier power in the Northwest Continent would only be considered a first-rate power in the Central Continent, not even comparable to the weakest Four Directions Pavilion. Therefore, the strong in the Central Continent and other places do not pay much attention to the Northwest Continent.

During the year or so that Xiao Yanzi was in seclusion, the Lion Nether Sect, with the support of the Soul Palace, began to wage war and harvest souls on a large scale. In less than half a year, it had taken half of the Northwest Continent. Before the Lion Nether Sect received the support of the Soul Palace, it was only able to rank in the top ten in the Northwest Continent, far inferior to the Heavenly Serpent Palace.
