Chapter 150: The Awakening of the Green Serpent's Tricolor Eye!
During his time at the academy, Xiao Ze has been busy refining pills.
Due to the dangerous nature of refining the Extreme Sun Pill, Xiao Ze did not bring Qing Lin back immediately.
Instead, he let Qing Lin continue living with the Xiao family. After all, with Xiao Ze's word, no one in the Xiao family would dare treat Qing Lin with contempt.
Even if they had to pretend, everyone had to welcome her with a smile.
Moreover, many in the Xiao family wanted Qing Lin to live well.
For many in the Xiao family, Qing Lin, as Xiao Ze's exclusive maid, held special significance.
For this reason, Qing Lin received treatment similar to that of a young master in the Xiao family.
The younger generation of the family, especially the girls, were eager to befriend Qing Lin.
Being Xiao Ze's exclusive maid was enough for these girls to want to ingratiate themselves with Qing Lin.
As his exclusive maid, wouldn't she always be by Xiao Ze's side?
If Qing Lin mentioned their names in Xiao Ze's presence, perhaps he would pay attention to them.
So, when Xiao Ze returned to the Xiao family, he found the girls surrounding Qing Lin, laughing and chatting.
It almost seemed as if Qing Lin had become the leader of the group, giving Xiao Ze the strange impression that she had become the boss of the children.
"Ah, young master Xiao Ze!"
Seeing Xiao Ze, Qing Lin exclaimed with joy. No matter how she was treated in the Xiao family, in her heart she always saw herself as Xiao Ze's maid.
"Cousin Xiao Ze!"
The other girls also greeted Xiao Ze. They knew that the increasing strength of the Xiao family was due to this young man.
"Hello, cousins. Here are some pills that aid in cultivation. Thank you for taking care of Qing Lin during this time."
Xiao Ze handed them some bottles of pills, called Qing Lin, and before they could refuse, he left with her.
The girls of the Xiao family looked at each other with some disappointment and sadness in their eyes.
They didn't want just pills!
Their elders had advised them to take the opportunity to get close to Xiao Ze, not only as relatives but seeking a closer relationship.
After all, the Xiao family had grown over several generations, and the blood ties were quite distant.
However, Xiao Ze was not interested in forming relationships within the Xiao family.
The family had no talents worth his attention.
Therefore, Xiao Ze only cared about keeping the family peaceful and safe.
"Young master, will you take me to the Jia Nan academy this time?"
"Yes, Xiao Yi Xian is still a student, so she can't take you into the inner academy. Now that I've finished refining pills, I can spend more time with you."
Xiao Ze patted Qing Lin's head. This shy and obedient girl always evoked tenderness in him.
"Have your relatives caused you any trouble?"
"No, no, the young master's relatives are very kind. The elders also treat me kindly. Even the master told me..."
Qing Lin blushed as she said this.
Seeing Xiao Ze's amused expression, Qing Lin continued shyly, "That I should be treated like a lady of the house..."
"Isn't that good?"
"But I'm just a maid..."
"You may be my exclusive maid, but in front of others, you are equal to anyone else."
Xiao Ze spoke seriously, which made Qing Lin nod excitedly.
"Yes, I am the young master's exclusive maid."
Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh at Qing Lin's expression.
Previously, he had tried to change the way she saw herself, but he realized that Qing Lin had completely internalized the term "exclusive maid."
No matter how he tried to correct her, she always said, "I am the young master's exclusive maid!"
With no other options, Xiao Ze decided to go along with it.
Back at the academy, Xiao Ze checked Qing Lin's cultivation level.
She was progressing decently.
Since Qing Lin had not yet awakened the Green Serpent's Tricolor Eye, her cultivation speed was not extraordinary.
For Xiao Ze to consider it decent was an achievement in itself.
Upon returning to the academy, the guardian elder glanced at Qing Lin but said nothing.
As one of the academy's elders, Xiao Ze could bring someone along if he wished.
In the small tower, Xiao Ze had Qing Lin sit down.
Looking at her, especially her eyes, Xiao Ze paid special attention.
The girl had a slight charming aura, although it did not affect Xiao Ze.
"Young master..." Qing Lin murmured softly. Although she liked the young master looking at her like this, she felt very shy when he did so.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm thinking about how to awaken your talent. Qing Lin, have you ever faced a magical beast?"
Xiao Ze smiled, planning to follow the method from the original, but first, he would try with a level one magical beast.
"No, I've rarely been near magical beasts." Qing Lin shook her head.
"Okay, let's try now. Your talent is amazing, rare throughout the Dou Qi continent. Don't be afraid, try to master it."
Xiao Ze gently reassured her, taking her hand and leading her to the mountains.
At first, Qing Lin felt scared hearing that her talent was related to magical beasts.
She had suffered a lot being different since she was young.
But with Xiao Ze's encouraging words and his hand holding hers, her fears faded away.
In the mountains, Xiao Ze extended his spiritual perception and soon located a magical serpent in a tree.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Ze's threat, the serpent tried to escape.
He wasn't going to let it go so easily.
With a movement of his mind, Xiao Ze made the water around the serpent condense, forming a water sphere that trapped it.
Xiao Ze placed Qing Lin on the ground. As she left Xiao Ze's arms, her flushed face began to calm down.
"Qing Lin, try to use your power to control it and make it form a contract with you, recognizing you as its owner."
Xiao Ze explained, though she still did not have the Green Serpent's Tricolor Eye, so she did not know how the contract worked.
"Yes, I'll try."
Qing Lin took a deep breath, looking at the serpent trapped in the water sphere and repeating Xiao Ze's words in her mind.
Control it! Make a contract with it!
From the side, Xiao Ze could clearly feel a mysterious energy emanating from Qing Lin, capable of influencing the mind.
However, this energy was unstable.
In Qing Lin's eyes, three small green dots began to transform into three green flowers.
A green light emanated from her eyes, enveloping the magical serpent, which gradually stopped struggling.
On the serpent's forehead, a green flower identical to the one in Qing Lin's eyes appeared.
"Young master, I did it!" Qing Lin exclaimed excitedly, turning to Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze, seeing the system's confirmation, smiled and nodded.
"Good job!"
Ding! Qing Lin's Green Serpent's Tricolor Eye has awakened. Congratulations, host, for receiving a hundredfold feedback!
