Chapter 42: Personal Maid

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he got out of bed, walked to the wooden table and sat down, looking at Qing Lin with eyes full of encouragement.

"Clatter…"

Qing Lin took a deep breath nervously, and followed the example of the other maids. She soaked the towel in the water and carefully wiped Xiao Feng's face with the wet towel.

Just as Qinglin was concentrating on wiping Xiaofeng's cheek, he found that he was staring at something.

Qinglin subconsciously followed his gaze and found that his sleeves were open, and he could vaguely see a few pieces of green snake scales.

That cute little face turned pale instantly, and she quickly covered the snake scales with the towel in her hand. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she apologized repeatedly in a voice mixed with tears: "I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Looking at Qing Lin's adorable appearance, Xiao Feng sighed softly in his heart, reached out and touched her little head to comfort her: "Silly girl, you don't need to feel guilty, I just think the scales on your arms are very beautiful, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"…"

Qinglin couldn't help but be stunned. It was the first time she heard someone say that these scales that scared her were very beautiful!

"Master, are you really not afraid?"

Qing Lin raised his little head nervously, and looked at Xiao Feng timidly with his big weird eyes.

"Of course it's true."

Xiao Feng reached out and held Qing Lin's little hand, slowly rolled up her sleeves, and gently stroked the green scales with his fingers, saying sincerely: "I think these scales are beautiful and cool!"

To be honest, Xiao Feng had no intention of lying to Qing Lin. In the era of his previous life, humans had very free XP.

Don't say that Qinglin just has some snake scales. As long as she looks cute enough, there will still be a lot of people who like her even if she is a centaur, half horse, or half human, half spider.

After staring at Xiao Feng's eyes for a while, Qing Lin felt that he was serious. A strange feeling suddenly arose in his weak and scarred little heart.

Qinglin only felt his breathing become short and his heartbeat quickened, and three small green dots faintly appeared in his large green eyes.

Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"My...my name is Qinglin."

"Qinglin? This name sounds pretty nice."

Xiao Feng muttered Qing Lin's name softly, and then got straight to the point: "Why don't you follow me from now on? It just so happens that I'm in need of a personal maid."

"ah?"

When Qinglin heard this, her mouth opened slightly in an expression of disbelief.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I do!"

Qing Lin hurriedly called out, "Master Xiao...Master Xiao Feng, I am willing to be your maid!"

When others saw the snake scales on Qinglin's arm, they either showed expressions of horror or felt disgusted and regretful.

Xiao Feng was the first person to praise the beautiful scales. In Qinglin's eyes, he was like a ray of light in the darkness, so even if he was just a little maid for him, Qinglin felt very satisfied.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Xiao Feng smiled and touched Qing Lin's little head and said, "But as my personal maid, you must practice well in the future. Otherwise, if I plan to go to some dangerous place, you will not be able to go with me."

"Master...Master, Qinglin will practice hard."

Qinglin unconsciously clenched her fists, her pretty face full of seriousness.

"That's great. After breakfast, I will teach you how to practice. Don't let me down~"

"Um!"

Facing Xiao Feng's gentle and encouraging gaze, Qing Lin nodded his little head very seriously.

After Qinglin helped Xiao Feng finish washing up, she took Xiao Feng and rushed towards the restaurant.

When Xiao Feng rushed to the restaurant, Xiao Yixian and the other two were already there. He walked straight to Xiao Yixian and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xiao Ding hurriedly invited Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian to have breakfast, and also asked about the Xiao family's recent situation.

Xiao Ding and the others chose to leave the family and develop outside after Xiao Yan's cultivation talent had problems. Now, they have been away from the Xiao family for more than two years.

Although Xiao Ding and the others would exchange letters with Xiao Zhan every once in a while, the content recorded in the letters was limited and definitely not as detailed as what Xiao Feng said.

In response to Xiao Ding and the others' curious inquiries, Xiao Feng gave them a general account of what had happened to the Xiao family in the past two years, and then asked about their experiences in Shimo City over the years.

Because the three brothers of the Xiao family had not seen each other for many years and had a lot of topics to talk about, the breakfast took more than an hour to finish.

Xiao Feng also gained a more detailed understanding of the distribution of power in Shimo City from the conversation between Xiao Ding and the others.

There are dozens of mercenary groups of all sizes in Shimo City, but there are only three mercenary groups with powerful fighters in charge, namely: the Sand Mercenary Group, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, and the Storm Mercenary Group.

Among them, the Sand Mercenary Group is recognized as the strongest, because their leader Rob is a two-star master fighter.

Unfortunately, apart from Rob, the Sand Mercenary Group only has one deputy leader who is a fighter, and the rest of the members are fighters.

Although the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group do not have great fighters in charge, they have more fighters than the Sand Mercenary Group.

In order to prevent themselves from being swallowed up by the Sand Mercenaries, the Desert Iron Mercenaries and the Storm Mercenaries chose to form an alliance, thus forming a three-way balance of power.

After figuring out the current situation in Shimo City, Xiao Feng also had the idea of ​​helping Xiao Ding and others unify Shimo City.

According to Xiao Feng's original plan, he would train in the Tagor Desert for about half a year.

During this period, Xiao Feng needs to look for the area of ​​storms, as well as traces of various poisonous creatures and snake-like monsters, which will inevitably require a lot of manpower.

Rather than letting Xiao Feng rebuild his own power, it would be easier to help Xiao Ding and others expand the Motie Mercenary Group.

However, there is no rush for this matter. Xiao Feng plans to accompany Xiao Yixian in Shimo City for two days, and lead Qinglin on the path of cultivation. It will not be too late to start doing business later.

After breakfast, Xiao Feng took Qing Lin back to practice and taught her the most basic breathing method.

People who have just started to practice Dou Qi, during the Dou Qi stage, have no way to practice any techniques. They can only practice the most basic breathing method, simply absorbing the Dou Qi contained between heaven and earth into their bodies.

Qing Lin had an excellent talent for cultivation. It took him less than half an hour to master the breathing method taught by Xiao Feng and he began to practice on his own.
