"Qing Lin? Bring Mo Li over."
Mo Yu was startled by Ye Zhen's report, then his eyebrows rose, and many memories from deep within his mind were stirred.
Among the few powerful Physiques that appeared in the original work, Qing Lin's Physique, though appearing very late, was undoubtedly the most impressive.
Qing Lin herself was the descendant of a human and a snake-person. She suffered discrimination and coldness from both races since childhood. While serving as a maid in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, she met Xiao Yan.
Later, because she possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she was targeted by the Mo Family, who specialized in transplanting Demonic Beast limbs. She was eventually rescued by Xiao Yan, who stormed their home, and then taken away and trained by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are known as the number one strange pupils in the world, appearing only in the descendants of humans and snake-people.
These pupils are the bane of all serpentine Demonic Beasts. They can forcefully control all but a very few serpentine Demonic Beasts that possess pure ancient Bloodlines.
However, fortunately, they cannot control humans or other Demonic Beasts, but they can draw out the Soul and seize control of the Physical Body.
Even more miraculously, after the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils mature, an internal space can form within the eyes, allowing controlled objects to be stored within it.
Furthermore, as her strength increases, the limit of the space will also rise, and at the same time, the strength of the creatures taken into the space will slowly be absorbed and fed back to Qing Lin.
It can be said that Qing Lin, possessing the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, already has the potential to become a Saint. On the Fighting Qi Continent, where Dou Di have not appeared for a long time, Dou Saint powerhouses already stand among the top powerhouses of the Continent.
The immense power of these pupils reminded Mo Yu of his own 'Eye of Thunder'. Unfortunately, his current Acquired 'Tian Gang Thunder Body' has only just begun to awaken and is still far from being able to awaken the Eye of Thunder.
However, once he successfully devours the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire and elevates the Vermillion Bird Sky-Burning Lightning to its Peak, he will be able to Cultivate the 'Extreme Spirit Thunder Technique' with Profound Thunder to transform his Physical Body, further evolving his Acquired Tian Gang Thunder Body to activate the 'Eye of Thunder'.
As one of the most powerful offensive methods of the Tian Gang Thunder Body, if the Eye of Thunder can be activated, Mo Yu's combat power will also see a surge.
As Mo Yu was thinking this, Ye Zhen had already escorted Mo Li forward.
The once spirited Mo Li was now disheveled, and his expression had changed from arrogant to panicked and timid.
The sudden destruction of his Family, with even the Grand Elder and Family Head dying tragically, had clearly dealt a huge blow to this young man.
"Sir, I know where Qing Lin is. Please spare my life." Seeing Mo Yu, a glimmer of hope flashed in Mo Li's dull eyes, and he quickly crawled over, pleading.
Mo Li felt an endless fear towards this person who shared his Bloodline and bore some resemblance to him, yet was the culprit behind the Mo Family's tragic demise.
Seeing Mo Li, who half a day ago still exuded aristocratic charm, now crawling on the ground like a dead dog, Mo Yu had no desire to torment the weak to satisfy a twisted psychology. He simply said, "Take me to Qing Lin."
Mo Yu remembered that in the original work, neither Xiao Yan nor Hai Bodong found Qing Lin's location, suggesting she was hidden very deeply by the Mo Family.
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Mo Li nodded as if it were an imperial decree, and then led the way.
Following Mo Li's footsteps, Mo Yu wasn't worried about any tricks. Now that the Mo Family was destroyed, even if it were a trap, there would need to be someone to implement it.
And Mo Li indeed played no tricks. After leading Mo Yu through a few small alleys, he finally found an underground secret room in the backyard garden.
This underground secret room was extremely secluded. The entrance was not only hidden by weeds but also covered by a giant humanoid statue in front.
Ye Zhen very proactively moved the humanoid statue, revealing an ancient gray stone door. Mo Li then stepped forward, found a switch button, and pressed it. With a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.
The stone door opened, revealing luminous stones for illumination, so it wasn't dim. Inside the stone door, there were dozens of steps leading downwards, clearly indicating that the area behind the stone door was deep underground.
"Sir, this is the Mo Family's hidden place. I only accidentally heard that the Family caught Qing Lin in Stone Desert City half a month ago. The Family's high-ranking members value this little girl greatly, which is why she was imprisoned here. When we find her, can you…?" Mo Li feared Mo Yu would go back on his word.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu frowned and said impatiently, "Considering you helped me find Qing Lin, after this matter, change your surname and get lost."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Mo Li quickly nodded, but as he turned to lead the way, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
As the group entered the underground secret room, Mo Yu noticed that not only was it extremely secluded, but the black stones used for its construction also had the effect of isolating Soul Power. No wonder Xiao Yan couldn't find Qing Lin's location in the original work; it was only after he forcefully killed Mo Cheng and intimidated the Mo Family that they obediently handed her over.
The underground secret room was small, and Mo Yu quickly arrived at a cramped chamber. The space in the chamber was not large, and a sleeping little girl lay on the bed.
The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a light green, elegant outfit. Although her body was petite, she had developed somewhat strangely and maturely, with curves and slender parts in all the right places, though she looked a bit green.
She had a cute, delicate, melon-seed-shaped face, like a beautiful porcelain doll, and her timid appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, made one feel a sense of pity.
Hearing someone approach, the little girl slowly opened her eyes. Because she had been forcibly abducted, her mind was especially tense. She cautiously retreated two steps, then wrapped her arms around her calves and squatted in the corner, her small body trembling constantly.
"Y-you… who are you? Why did you bring me here?" The little girl trembled, hugging her calves, her timid voice already tinged with fearful sobs.
Seeing the little girl's timid expression, which matched the original work, Mo Yu was somewhat certain that this girl was Qing Lin. His gaze then lingered on a section of her snow-white wrist exposed from her sleeve.
On that snow-white wrist, there were actually some greenish snake scales, which further confirmed his suspicion.
However, Mo Yu was at a loss for how to alleviate the little girl's panic. Suddenly, he thought of her origins and gently said, "Don't worry, I'm not with the people who brought you here. I'm here to save you."
"You must be the maid of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, don't worry, I also come from the Xiao Family, my name is Mo Yu."
When she heard the name Mo Yu, Qing Lin immediately stopped sobbing, as if she had thought of something, then softly said, "Are you Young Master Mo Yu?"
Hearing Qing Lin's words, Mo Yu was startled, then asked in confusion, "You know me?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin nodded, then lowered her guard somewhat, timidly saying, "Commander Xiao Ding and Commander Xiao Li occasionally talk about Family matters, and the most frequently mentioned are Young Master Xiao Yan and Young Master Mo Yu, the xiao family double dragons, so I've heard a bit about you."
Hearing that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li even discussed him, Mo Yu also shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated.
The original body had seen these two brothers a few times when he was very young, but he had no other impressions. However, since they had mentioned him, it would be easier to interact with Qing Lin.
"Since you've heard my name, you should believe I'm not a bad person, right? The people who captured you outside have been eliminated by me. Now you can safely come out with me," Mo Yu said with a light chuckle, while forcibly breaking the lock on the secret room door.
Entering the secret room, Mo Yu slowly approached Qing Lin. He squatted down and gently stroked the little girl's head, softly saying, "What a beautiful little one. All right, everything is safe now."
Upon hearing this, the little girl's fearful expression froze. Since her birth, Mo Yu was the first to praise her beauty and show such concern for her safety…
A peculiar feeling quietly arose within her fragile, almost scarred young heart, which had been traumatized by her abduction. She opened her eyes, which faintly exuded a strange charm, and timidly asked, "Why did Young Master save me?"
Staring at Qing Lin's sparkling eyes, Mo Yu suddenly noticed that they were slightly greenish, and… deep within her pupils, there seemed to be three extremely tiny, jade-green dots hidden.
Staring intently at the somewhat demonic jade-green pupils, Mo Yu suddenly felt a slight trance. A moment later, his heart jolted, and he quickly regained his composure.
"What terrifying Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."
A hint of shock faintly appeared on Mo Yu's face. As expected of the number one strange pupils on the Fighting Qi Continent, even his Soul Power was slightly affected.
When Mo Yu looked at Qing Lin's eyes again, the three tiny jade-green dots had disappeared.
Seeing this, Mo Yu knew that Qing Lin herself hadn't mastered control over the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. He patted the little girl's head and smiled, "Actually, I didn't know they had captured you. It just so happens that I had a grudge against the people who captured you. After I eliminated them, I didn't expect to find you here, so I came to rescue you."
Hearing that Mo Yu had only rescued her as an afterthought, if it were anyone else, the gratitude in her heart would surely have greatly diminished. But for Qing Lin, Mo Yu, who had personally saved her, left a deep impression in the little girl's young heart.
"Thank you, Young Master Mo Yu. When I return, I will ask Commander Xiao Ding and Commander Xiao Li to allow me to become your personal maid to repay you," Qing Lin whispered.
Hearing Qing Lin's words, Mo Yu's heart couldn't help but stir. Regardless of the girl's exceptional beauty, her terrifying potential alone was enough to make one's heart flutter.
Just then, Mo Yu suddenly asked, "Qing Lin, have you not met Xiao Yan?"
Hearing Mo Yu's question, Qing Lin's small face froze, then she shook her head and said, "Since I was taken in by Commander Xiao Ding, I haven't met Young Master Xiao Yan."
"It seems Little Yanzi hasn't rushed to Stone Desert City yet. It's probably because of the butterfly effect I caused, leading the Mo Family to capture Qing Lin early," Mo Yu mused.
"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to Stone Desert City to inform Commander Xiao Ding and the others of your safety, and incidentally, request to keep you by my side," Mo Yu said with a light chuckle.
"Yes, I will serve Young Master Mo Yu well."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Qing Lin's small face seriously stated. The reason she chose to follow Mo Yu was not only because he saved her, but also because the sensitive Qing Lin never felt discrimination or impatience from the young man.
In Stone Desert City, because humans and snake-people had a blood feud, she, who possessed snake-person Bloodline, was also greatly hated. However, in Mo Yu's eyes, she saw equality and respect.
"Let's go, you've been confined here for a long time, right? I'll take you out to see." Mo Yu said as he carried Qing Lin on his back.
Taking Qing Lin as his personal maid, Mo Yu was in a rather good mood. This little girl, once she grew up, would be truly terrifying.
"Thank you, Young Master Mo Yu." Carried on Mo Yu's back, Qing Lin seemed a little shy, softly agreeing.
After walking a few steps, Mo Yu suddenly saw a corpse. Upon closer inspection, it was Mo Li, who had just led the way.
"Sir, this person was acting suspiciously just now, seemingly trying to trigger some mechanism, so I took action and killed him," Ye Zhen quickly explained from the side.
Hearing this, Mo Yu waved his hand indifferently. He could probably guess Mo Li's intentions, which were nothing more than an ant's revenge. He had wanted to spare him, but the other party hadn't cherished the opportunity. Now that he was dead, he was dead—insignificant.
Stepping out of the underground secret room, sunlight poured down. Feeling the long-lost sunshine, Qing Lin revealed a joyful smile.
On the little girl's cute, delicate face, a dazzling, peculiar brilliance appeared. Her dainty nose twitched slightly, and she raised her small face. In her jade-green pupils, three extremely tiny green dots suddenly reappeared silently.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Mo Yu."
Lying on Mo Yu's shoulder, Qing Lin thanked him sincerely. The little girl had thought she would die here this time. For her, who had been discriminated against since childhood, perhaps this was her destiny.
But the young man's appearance not only saved her but also allowed her to see the light of day again. Perhaps from this moment on, a certain figure took root deep in the little girl's heart.
Walking through the Mo Family residence, the Mo Family members had been mostly cleared out by now. Any Ye Family members they encountered would respectfully greet Mo Yu.
Now, everyone in Yan City knew that it was under this young man's planning that the Mo Family was wiped out by their Ye Family in one fell swoop. It wouldn't be long before this news spread out of Yan City, and everyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire would know.
"Little Brother Mo Yu, where did you go?" In the main hall ahead, Ye Fan called out to Mo Yu.
After the Mo Family was eliminated, the Ye Family rose to become the number one Family in the eastern region, so he had just been entangled by many faction leaders, discussing numerous collaborations.
"The Mo Family kidnapped a maid from my Xiao Family, and I just rescued her," Mo Yu said lightly.
The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are extremely special. Only the Mo Family, who specialized in Demonic Beast limb transplantation, would covet Qing Lin; most people wouldn't notice anything unusual.
After carefully examining the girl, although he had some doubts about why the Mo Family would capture a maid, Ye Fan was already quite satisfied with the gains from this trip and did not want to cause further complications by inquiring.
"The Mo Family's treasury has been sorted. Little Brother Mo Yu, do you want to go see it now?"
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Mo Yu was startled, then his eyes showed considerable interest. The treasury of this top Family in the eastern region should have many good things…
