Chapter 16 Poor Little Green Scale
Mu Zhan confirmed that Hai Bodong was completely dead before he felt safe to loot the loot box. He found another fragment of a map on Hai Bodong's body and put it away along with his storage ring.
After it was all over, they burned Hai Bodong's body.
After everything was settled, Mu Zhan arrived at the place where Little Fairy Doctor was hiding.
"Mu Zhan! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
When Little Fairy Doctor saw Mu Zhan return, she quickly ran over to inquire about his condition.
She had just seen a huge ice storm erupting from the ancient map shop from afar, and she was filled with worry. If Mu Zhan didn't return soon, she was prepared to go find him.
"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure I can handle."
Mu Zhan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
"Let's go, let's continue towards Stone Desert City."
A flash of light appeared in his storage ring, and a map appeared in his hand. This was the map he had obtained from the ancient map shop, and it was now coming in handy. Mu Zhan walked in the direction indicated by the map.
"OK."
Little Fairy Doctor followed in Mu Zhan's footsteps.
The two followed the route and left the place. The ancient map shop collapsed after Mu Zhan and the others left and was buried by endless yellow sand. No one will ever know that there was once a Dou Huang powerhouse here.
Stone Desert City.
"Take a look! The new healing medicine! Money back guarantee if it doesn't work!"
"A weapon I just forged, made from the finest materials, capable of cutting through iron like mud."
"..."
Mu Zhan and Little Fairy Doctor saw this scene as soon as they entered Stone Desert City.
Because this place is in the Tagor Desert, its nature is similar to that of Qingshan Town, with a large number of mercenaries, so healing medicines and other similar items are in high demand.
The people here dress very differently from those in other places; they wear very little, and many women wear only a few pieces of cloth, which is quite daring.
This was quite a shock for Little Fairy Doctor, whose thinking and clothing were quite conservative. Seeing the locals' attire here really refreshed her understanding.
Mu Zhan had just arrived in Shimo City and asked the locals if there was a Mo Tie Mercenary Group here yet, which meant that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had not yet come here or established their forces.
However, even without the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, it's still easy to find Qing Lin here. After all, she's a half-snake-human hybrid and is considered an outcast, so there must be quite a few people who know her.
Not long after, Mu Zhan obtained Qing Lin's details and location from a street vendor.
Mu Zhan led Little Fairy Doctor to the place the man had pointed out.
"Mu Zhan, who is this Qing Lin? What do you want with her?"
Little Fairy Doctor pinched her fingers, but couldn't resist her curiosity and asked what was on her mind.
"She was a pitiful person. She had a special constitution and was considered an outcast. She suffered a lot of bullying because of it."
As Mu Zhan walked, he explained Qing Lin's background to Little Fairy Doctor. The pitiful situation even brought tears to Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.
Little Fairy Doctor originally thought it was Mu Zhan's lover, but she never expected that Qing Lin's fate would be so tragic.
Hearing from Mu Zhan that Qing Lin seemed to be even younger than her, Little Fairy Doctor felt even more sorry for her and decided that she must find Qing Lin and protect her.
After the two arrived at the place the man pointed out, they heard a commotion coming from the alley ahead, along with the sound of a girl crying.
"Snake-man monster! Why are you so close to us! You've soiled my clothes!"
"You vixen, who gave you permission to appear here? You are forbidden from appearing here again, and you are forbidden from coming near this place."
A group of people surrounded Qinglin, hurling all sorts of vicious insults at her. Not satisfied with just cursing her, he even grabbed Qinglin's braid and tried to snatch the basket from her hand.
"I'm...I'm sorry, I'll leave right away."
"Ah! Please...please don't take my things."
Qinglin was terrified by these people. Just as she was about to run away, she was stopped by several of them. They not only called her a bastard, but also grabbed her braid and snatched her basket.
How could the tiny green scales possibly be a match for these people? Before it could hold on properly, the food in the basket fell to the ground and got covered in mud.
These were the foods she bought with the money she earned from her part-time jobs. Although they weren't very nutritious, they were her guarantee for future survival. Now they were on the ground and all dirty.
Some of them were even deliberately stepped on by those people.
The man let go of Qinglin's braid and took out a handkerchief to wipe his palms, as if he had touched something extremely disgusting.
Qinglin squatted on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, sobbing as she picked up the trampled food from the ground bit by bit.
"Ouch! You little vixen, did I tell you to pick it up?!"
The man raised his foot, intending to kick Qinglin to the ground.
Qinglin also tried to curl up to protect herself from further harm.
Just as his foot was about to land, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his neck, leaving his foot frozen in mid-air.
"Who...is it?!"
The man was mumbling incoherent words.
Click!
Without wasting any words, Mu Zhan exerted force with his palm and snapped the man's neck. The man's head lolled to the side, and he went limp.
The expected pain did not come. Qinglin looked up and saw Mu Zhan's tall figure standing in front of her, holding the person from before in his hand.
"Murder...murder!"
The people nearby were also taken aback by this sudden turn of events. After they came to their senses, their legs went weak, and they trembled as they tried to run away.
"I'll do it!"
Just as Mu Zhan was about to make a move, Little Fairy Doctor stopped him. She had just witnessed the evil deeds of these people, and even she couldn't hold back anymore. She wanted to personally take action to end these beasts.
Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand at the group, and purple battle qi carrying extremely powerful poison energy shot towards them.
Those who came into contact with Little Fairy Doctor's battle aura visibly developed sores and turned into pus within a short time. Finally, Mu Zhan waved his hand, and flames instantly cleaned up all traces of the place.
"Are you alright? Get up!"
Mu Zhan extended his hand to Qing Lin, a gentle smile on his face.
Qinglin stretched out her hand, her small hand trembling with fear. She was frightened by what Mu Zhan and the other person had just done.
"Thank you... thank you all!"
Although she was scared, she knew that they had helped her. Her mother had taught her from a young age to be a polite and grateful child.
Mu Zhan held Qing Lin's calloused hand before he began to properly examine the girl in front of him.
Qinglin is still small, with a slightly childish face and big eyes. The tears in her eyes make her very endearing. Qinglin looks a lot like her younger sister now.
"How are you feeling?"
Mu Zhan activated the divine power of the Horse Talisman, which entered Qing Lin's body and healed all the injuries Qing Lin had suffered over the years.
Qinglin felt that Mu Zhan's hand was very warm. Holding Mu Zhan's hand, she felt her whole body was warm and comfortable.
