Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

After all, everyone knows exactly how this child came to be.

Snake people and humans are mortal enemies, and they hate this hybrid even more, believing it to be a defilement of human blood.

She's only alive because she's tough and makes a living by doing dirty work, yet she's been driven out time and time again.

After all, once guests see the blue scales on his arm, they will instantly turn angry, and sometimes they will beat him up if they don't like him.

"Alright, the captain has ordered that since you've joined our Mo Tie Mercenary Group, you're one of us, and there must be no more bullying." Shirley glanced at the girl who was curled up in a ball, looking as pitiful as a little animal. Although she also loathed her, a trace of pity in her heart made her protect her.

"Hmph, I don't know if the captain has lost his mind or if his maternal instincts are kicking in, but he actually took in such a wretched child. This little beast better not fall into my hands, otherwise..."

"You!" Shirley frowned slightly, but still managed to suppress her anger.

This young man was one of only three Battle Masters in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, making him the "Third Leader." Even she had to obey his orders.

"Otherwise what?"

Inside the courtyard, a handsome young man dressed in black stepped in, glancing indifferently at the people around him.

He understood the ignorance of those who bullied Qinglin, but...

Judging from his tone, he seems somewhat dissatisfied with his elder brother's authority; he loves this kind of troublemaker.

As Xiao Yan appeared, the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group around him fell silent, looked away, and dared not meet his gaze. The battle between Xiao Yan and Xiao Li this morning had shocked many people, especially the mercenary groups that bullied the weak. Violence was the most effective weapon.

"This little beast is..." The arrogant young man who had just been so domineering became a bit more subdued, but there was still a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Pfft~"

But in the next instant, Xiao Yan appeared in front of him without anyone noticing, and punched him squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying. His face showed astonishment, followed by pain and ferocity, and his body crashed onto the wall of the courtyard.

"Hiss..." The young man spat out two bloody teeth, bent over like a shrimp, clutched his abdomen tightly, his eyes bulging outwards, his lungs seemed to have been blasted by a punch, and his throat was like a broken suction machine.

Unable to make a sound.

The courtyard was completely silent. Everyone watched in horror at the brutal scene. No one expected that this young regimental commander, who looked like an untrained rookie, would be so ruthless.

He crippled the young man in a single exchange.

Xiao Yan remained calm, and with a flash, he reappeared in front of the young man, grabbed the latter's throat, and slowly lifted him up.

"You're saying my older brother's lost his mind?"

"..."

"Hehehe..." Blood poured into the young man's throat, and Xiao Yan grabbed his throat again. His face turned blue and purple, and he tried his best to hit Xiao Yan's arm, but he was quite powerless.

"Third, Third Young Master." Shirley's throat bobbed as she hesitated before stepping forward.

Xiao Yan remained calm as he raised his other hand.

The woman nodded obediently, swallowing the rest of her words.

"I won't kill you, but if there's a next time..." Xiao Yan slowly released his grip, and the young man's body went limp, falling to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear.

"Your name is Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan ignored the young man whose crotch was emitting a foul odor and turned to look at the girl huddled in the corner.

The latter, her small feet pushing against the floor, tried her best to curl herself into a ball, her pretty face full of terror.

“I’ve always liked small animals, like snakes…snakes and such. Since you’re a snake-human hybrid, you should have some scales on your body, right?” Xiao Yan didn’t approach, but stood still, revealing a bright smile.

"Hmm..." Qinglin's face turned pale. Enduring the shame, she lifted her long sleeves to reveal her fair and tender arms that had been hidden below, as well as... some light blue scales.

Sure enough, the next moment, some of the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group around them showed a hint of disdain in their eyes. The girl bit her red lips and tears welled up in her eyes.

But the next moment.

"Wow, it's beautiful..."

Xiao Yan gently grasped the girl's slender arm, examining the blue scales on it, a hint of wonder and amazement flashing in his eyes.

Qinglin initially drooped her ears, thinking it was the same annoying voice she used to hear, but... when she heard Xiao Yan's seemingly genuine voice, she suddenly raised her head, her small face full of astonishment.

He's praising his scales...are they beautiful?!

"If you don't think it's beautiful, you can cut out your eyes and feed them to the dogs," Xiao Yan said with a smile, turning to look at Shirley beside him: "Do you think it looks good?"

“Of course! Young Master Xiao Yan is right!” Shirley’s eyes twitched wildly, and she quickly nodded.

"And you?" Xiao Yan glanced into the distance again.

"Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!"

"She's even prettier than my mother!"

"..."

A burst of exaggerated yet "sincere" praise rang out.

"See? Girl." Xiao Yan smiled and ruffled Qing Lin's hair. "You're not wrong. It's the world's fault. What nonsense about the guilt of being mixed-race? When your fists are big enough, even your farts will smell sweet."

Chapter 37 Little Fairy Doctor: Netherworld Poison Fire is Beneficial Fire

"Well……"

Qinglin's emerald green eyes flickered, staring blankly at the handsome young man before her. She had suffered too much injustice and darkness in this world; her world had always been dark.

Until now, a ray of light shone in.

The next day.

inside the house.

With her arms crossed, Little Fairy Doctor glanced indifferently at the timid little girl who was trying her best to hide her arms. "Is this your newly acquired maid?"

"Not counting the maids, I really like this girl and don't want to see her being bullied by others." Xiao Yan smiled and rubbed the head of Qing Lin, who was standing helplessly to the side.

"Hmph~" Little Fairy Doctor snorted softly, crossed her arms over her chest, and leaned against the door.

She glanced at Xiao Yan with a slightly uneasy look in her eyes: "Um, my poisonous body seems to be getting a little out of control."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan, dressed neatly with Qing Lin's help, was about to try his luck in searching for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the nearby desert when he heard what Little Fairy Doctor said. He suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"Let me see."

After saying that, without waiting for the girl's reaction, he grabbed her slender and soft wrist and closed his eyes to examine its condition.

Qinglin stood cautiously to the side, glancing at Xiao Yan who was concentrating with his eyes closed from time to time. She bit her red lips lightly, and a blush spread across her fair face.

Young Master Xiao Yan is amazing.

It's a pity she lacks talent. If she could just work as a servant next to the young master, she would have no regrets in this life.

"Qinglin, go fetch a bucket of water."

A few minutes later, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, his brows still furrowed. He looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said softly, "How long has it been?"

"About, about two months." Little Fairy Doctor's eyes darted away, and she said coquettishly, "You're hurting me."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed even more as he watched Little Fairy Doctor's slender fingers gently twirling strands of hair and her eyes darting away. He grew even angrier.

The Netherworld Poison Fire was too intense, or rather, this woman's naturally poisonous body was not suitable for using the Netherworld Poison Fire in the initial stage. In just a few months, she had soared to the level of a Fighter, but the Netherworld Poison Fire also left a lot of intense fire poison in her body.

The Calamity Poison Body, which was originally expected to begin erupting in the body at the Dou Zong realm, has now appeared much earlier. If this trend continues, the Calamity Poison Body may erupt before reaching the Dou Ling realm.

Once the Calamity Poison Body gets out of control, it's very difficult to suppress. Only those who are one or two major realms higher can suppress it.

Is this Netherworld Poison Fire truly the Netherworld Poison Fire ranked twentieth on the Strange Fire List?

Xiao Yan's eye twitched as he recalled its power, which was created by Laozi himself gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

I'm afraid it's far more than that...

I was too overconfident.

"Can you survive?" Little Fairy Doctor turned her head, resting her chin on her hand as she looked out the window, letting Xiao Yan hold her other wrist as she spoke softly.

"I won't die!" Xiao Yan cursed.

"Knowing it would only accumulate, why didn't you stop it?"

"..."

Little Fairy Doctor remained silent.

Yes, knowing that it will only get worse, why do we still enjoy it?

She didn't know, but subconsciously, she had a feeling that if she didn't use this strange fire to bind her and Xiao Yan together, she would lose something...

The connection between her and Xiao Yan was too weak, just like the question asked earlier: were they just friends?

She was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Xiao Yan, this oddball, will inevitably attract more and more women sooner or later, and if she doesn't hurry up, she'll be kicked out and forgotten.

"Ta-da~"

Qinglin walked with heavy footsteps, carrying a basin of water. Her pretty face was flushed as she carefully placed it on the table.

"Well done."

Xiao Yan smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

The latter's face flushed red as she mumbled something.

"Since the Netherworld Poison Fire in your body has already eroded your meridians and is lurking within them, then let's simply make it the main fire in your body. In other words, let's turn the tables and temporarily seal the Netherworld Poison Fire in your body for your own use, while also suppressing the Calamity Poison Body."
