Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

"Since you are a green snake in human form, how about calling yourself Lin Qing?"

Lin Yu's voice was gentle, carrying a calming power.

He gently stroked the girl's hair in his arms with his right hand, feeling the soft touch of her light green hair.

The atmosphere in the bathroom was still in a delicate stalemate.

Lin Shan stood at the door, her golden eyes still blazing with anger;

The little green snake coiled tightly around Lin Yu, its dark green vertical pupils meeting Lin Shan's gaze without flinching.

Lin Yu's words broke the deadlock and diverted the little green snake's attention.

She raised her head, her dark green vertical pupils blinking as if trying to understand what her master was saying.

"Qing'er." Lin Yu lowered her head, looking at her tenderly, "Do you like this name?"

In this situation, changing the subject is naturally the best solution.

The green-haired girl's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

The smile was faint, but paired with her obsessive gaze, it had a strangely morbid beauty.

"Of course I like the name my master gave me." Her voice was tinged with a sticky dependence. "I like anything my master gives me."

"That's good." Lin Yu smiled and continued, "Qing'er, what you said earlier touched me deeply."

Lin Qing's eyes lit up: "Master, that is naturally my true feeling."

She hugged him even tighter.

"I will always be with my master, always love my master, forever—"

"I believe you." Lin Yu interrupted her, her tone still gentle, but her eyes became serious. "But I am actually very insecure."

Lin Qing: ?

She froze, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Do I feel insecure?

With such a powerful master who can easily defeat even that terrifying Burning Feathered Grey Bird, how could he not feel safe?

Looking at her confused expression, Lin Yu revealed a hint of unease: "You see, this world is dangerous, and there are many enemies."

"I often worry that the people around me might leave me or even betray me because of interests, danger, or... conflicts between us."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Shan at the doorway before returning to Lin Qing's face: "So, Qing'er, can you prove your feelings for me?"

"Of course!" Lin Qing answered without hesitation, "I'm willing to do anything that Master needs!"

"Then..." Lin Yu pointed to Lin Shan and Lin Ya standing at the bathroom door, "They are my family. Can you like them, accept them, and get along with them as well as you do with me?"

Lin Qing: ...

His vertical pupils contracted slightly.

Is this... a test from the master?

Does she need to accept other people?

Should we share our owner's attention and affection with them?

In that instant, a strong sense of repulsion welled up inside her—

The master belongs to her!

It can only belong to her!

Why share with others?!

but……

The owner said, "I feel insecure."

The master needs her to "prove" it.

If she refuses, will the owner think she's not good enough?

Do you think she's too selfish?

What if... he doesn't want her anymore?

Do not!

Absolutely not!

Lin Qing's breathing quickened, and her fingers unconsciously tightened.

She looked into Lin Yu's eyes and saw an undeniable expectation in those gentle yet firm gazes.

"For my master..." she murmured to herself, as if trying to convince herself, "For my master, I'm willing to be an enemy of the world."

"Then, making friends with the world... is naturally no problem."

She took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a firm and resolute light: "Master, I can do it."

"Really?" Lin Yu's face lit up with surprise.

"Yes!" Lin Qing nodded vigorously. "I will try my best to like them and get along well with them."

"As long as... as long as Master doesn't mind my clumsiness."

"How could I possibly dislike it?" Lin Yu smiled, a smile as warm as the winter sun. "Qing'er is wonderful."

He ruffled her hair, then turned to the doorway: "Lin Ya!"

"I'm here!" Lin Ya poked her head out from behind Lin Shan, her pink hair swaying with her movements. "What are your orders, Master?"

"Take Qing'er to learn about fashion and show her around the villa," Lin Yu instructed, subtly separating Lin Qing from herself at the same time. "Qing'er has just taken human form and doesn't understand many things, so please teach her patiently."

"Alright!" Lin Ya walked in with a smile, extending her hand to Lin Qing, "Qing'er, come with me!"

"Let's go take a look around the villa and pick out a big room for you!"

Lin Qing looked at Lin Yu, then at Lin Ya's outstretched hand.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally placed my hand on it.

"Thank you so much, Sister Lin Ya..." she said softly.

"No trouble at all!" Lin Ya pulled her outside. "I'm telling you, just choose the room next to mine. If you get hungry tonight, come find me; I have snacks..."

The figures of the two girls gradually disappeared into the distance.

Now only Lin Yu and Lin Shan remain in the bathroom.

Lin Shan remained standing at the door, her blonde hair gleaming coldly under the light.

Her face was expressionless, but deep within her golden eyes surged a suppressed rage.

She's angry.

very angry.

That little green snake…

No, now she should be called Lin Qing.

She rescued it from the eagle's nest, and she presented it to the Lord.

But the snake not only didn't know how to be grateful, it also clung to the Lord as soon as it transformed into human form, saying those shameless things.

He even dared to provoke her!

How dare she compete with her master for his favor!

The story of the farmer and the snake—the ancients were right!

You saved a snake, but it turned around and bit you!

Lin Yu sighed inwardly as she looked at Lin Shan's appearance.

He stepped forward and gently placed his hands on Lin Shan's shoulders.

Lin Shan's body stiffened slightly.

"Shanshan," Lin Yu said softly, "your outfit today is quite different."

Lin Shan paused for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in her golden eyes.

"She's very beautiful," Lin Yu continued, his gaze sweeping over her intently. "I really like her."

Lin Shan did change her outfit today.

Instead of her usual maid outfit, she wore a delicate yet slightly sexy off-the-shoulder lace mini-dress.

The hem of the skirt fell just two inches above the knee, revealing long, straight legs—

She was also wearing a pair of light gray stockings.

The stockings were edged with tiny gold stripes that complemented her hair color.

The neckline is adorned with delicate lace trim, revealing a graceful neck and a glimpse of delicate collarbone.

The dress is perfectly tailored, highlighting the girl's shapely curves without being too revealing.

Lin Shan rarely wears this type of clothing.

But these past few days…

After seeing Lin You change into her new clothes, the Lord glanced at her a few more times, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

So, she privately approached Lin You, hoping she could give her some pointers.

Lin You said that she doesn't actually know how to dress, but mainly observed the women's outfits that Lin Yu spent the most time looking at when watching short videos.

Then it was derived from analysis and summarization.

With Lin You's help, Lin Shan chose this outfit today.

However, the day was almost over, and the Lord seemed unaware.

She felt a sense of frustration.

In addition, that new little snake is so clingy.

The Lord's attention was once again focused on the little snake—

I was here first!

Whether it's transforming into human form or exploring the joys of life with its owner...

Why should this little snake be allowed to cut in line?!

This ignited an inexplicable anger within her.

However, Lin Yu's words just now melted her heart instantly.

It turns out that the Lord had already noticed.

Not only did they notice it, but they also said they "liked it very much".

In that instant, all of Lin Shan's anger, grievances, and dissatisfaction were swept away.

"Your Majesty..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat was a little dry.

"You're my Shanshan." Lin Yu lowered his head, his forehead gently touching hers, his voice filled with undisguised doting affection. "How could I possibly neglect you?"

These words made Lin Shan's nose tingle and her eyes well up with tears.

So it turns out the Lord has been watching me all along.

Her unhappiness vanished instantly.

What is that little green snake?

The Lord has saved countless beasts, and each one of them is extremely dependent on him.

But in the Lord's heart, she always has a place.

This is enough.

"Your Excellency... um..."

Lin Shan had just opened her mouth when she couldn't speak anymore.

Lin Yu gently wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Lin Shan closed her eyes and obediently responded.

Lin Yu chose to comfort the angry Shan Shan.

After all, if you want to shut a woman up, you have to shut her up first.
