Chapter 161 Jade Serpent with Three-Flower Pupils
Upon hearing Yao Chen's answer once again, Xiao Hu was completely convinced. He had observed very carefully before, racking his brains to find any clues, but in the end, he still couldn't find anything.
However, looking at Yao Chen, who was observing at the same time as him, although he was also hesitant, he eventually discovered and confirmed it, which was enough to show the difference between them.
Xiao Hu was convinced, but he felt no jealousy or hatred. This was related to his background. Before this, he was just one of Xiao Feng's subordinates and was not even considered a big shot in the entire Xiao clan. He never expected that he would have this day.
Limited by his background, Xiao Hu knew from a young age that there were far too many people more outstanding than himself. He felt only respect for Yao Chen, not malice towards him.
"Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil? What is that? Senior, what's going on? Is Qinglin really not in danger?" Hearing Yao Chen's words, Qingyu looked anxiously at Xiao Feng in the distance.
Qingyu understood perfectly well that both Yao Chen and Xiao Hu were under Xiao Feng's command. Therefore, if anything happened, she would naturally seek out Xiao Feng first, because she knew that Xiao Feng was the one who could ultimately make the final decision!
Seeing Qingyu's anxious face, Xiao Feng comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry."
"Yao Chen, how much do you know about the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil?" Xiao Feng turned to Yao Chen and asked.
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's question, Yao Chen pondered for a moment, organizing the information in his mind. "Reporting to the clan leader, as far as I know, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is a rather peculiar innate pupil. If a person with this pupil can master it, they can completely induce hallucinations or cause others to become disoriented, making it a great weapon in battle."
"Besides, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil can be said to be the nemesis of almost all serpentine magical beasts, because it has a certain chance of being able to establish a connection with serpentine magical beasts. Well, it is a forced connection. This can also be seen as a kind of mysterious contract. If a contract can be established with a serpentine magical beast, the magical beast will be completely subdued and will not cause any harm to the host. It will even obey its every command."
"The characteristic of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is also very easy to identify. The host has three small green dots in the pupil. However, Miss Qinglin is still young, and the small green dots in the pupil are not obvious. They are almost undetectable."
"In addition, the conditions for the birth of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil are extremely demanding. It seems that only the offspring of snake people and humans can possess it, and the probability is one in a million or even more!"
With Yao Chen's explanation, Qingyu finally understood her daughter's special nature. She also realized that the so-called Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil was not like Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, which would harm her daughter. On the contrary, the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil would bring great help to her daughter!
Qingyu glanced deeply at Xiao Feng above and couldn't help but think to herself, "The reason my daughter was chosen is because of this Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil!"
After speaking, Yao Chen did not act as before. On the contrary, his expression was very helpless, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. He looked repeatedly at Qingyu and the other person beside him, as if he wanted to avoid them and talk to Xiao Feng alone.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng did not hesitate. His fighting spirit surged out wildly, and a spatial barrier appeared in the hall, separating Yao Chen, Xiao Hu, Qing Yu and the others, forming two spaces.
"Yao Chen, what do you want to say? You can speak freely now." After doing all this, Xiao Feng asked.
"Chief, as far as I know, the offspring of humans and snake people seem to have a very difficult fate, and they generally don't live past the age of two. In Miss Qinglin's case, I'm afraid…"
Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Feng immediately knew what he was worried about.
"It's alright. Don't forget, Qinglin isn't just any snake-human and human descendant. She possesses the rare Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, a treasure that's one in ten thousand! With that in mind, breaking the curse of not living past two years old doesn't seem too difficult. Besides, don't you still have me? As a ninth-grade alchemist, I don't believe you're completely helpless in this matter," Xiao Feng said with a half-smile.
After hearing Xiao Feng's words and seeing his expression, Yao Chen knew that his little scheme had been seen through. Indeed, as Xiao Feng said, for him, a ninth-grade alchemist, Qing Lin's problem was nothing. Moreover, with his precedent, even if something really happened to Qing Lin, Xiao Feng would have the ability to recreate her body and revive her. However, in that case, Qing Lin would lose her original Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
Yao Chen remembered Xiao Feng's high regard for Qing Lin, but he was unsure which aspect Xiao Feng valued more. Therefore, he needed to clarify some things, lest something unexpected happen to Qing Lin and he would have to bear some responsibility.
As a descendant of snake people and humans, and cursed to not live past the age of two, even if Qinglin managed to overcome this hurdle with Yaochen's help, what would happen afterward? Who could guarantee that no accidents would occur? After all, such situations are extremely rare. Therefore, what Yaochen needs to do now is to expose this matter, clarify the responsibility involved, and make Xiaofeng understand.
Unlike Yao Chen's worries, Xiao Feng had no worries at all. After all, he knew Qing Lin's fate clearly and knew that nothing would happen to her. That's why he said what he said earlier.
With Xiao Feng's words, Yao Chen had no choice but to agree, "Yes, Clan Chief, I will do my utmost to ensure Miss Qing Lin's safety!"
"Well, since you've already taken Xian'er as your disciple, then take Qinglin under your wing as well. Both of them have their own unique strengths, and if they are properly trained, they will definitely not bring shame to you as their master."
"Moreover, being able to teach the Calamity Poison Body and the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, and take them as disciples, is something that countless people would envy!" Xiao Feng said meaningfully.
"Yes, Yao Chen obeys!" Yao Chen replied.
