Chapter 41 Fairy Sister, Green Sister, and Medusa Appear!

Gu He knew Qing Lin was awake, so he hurriedly went to her room.

He just felt inexplicably that Xiao Yi Xian's expression was a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it.

After arriving at the room and asking a few questions, Gu He was somewhat surprised.

Qing Lin had actually lost her memory!

But this amnesia wasn't complete; she had only forgotten the bits and pieces of her time spent with Xiao Yan in Stone Desert City.

Gu He was in a bit of a dilemma. He told her about saving her from the Mo Family, and the little girl believed him without doubt, her clear eyes looking at Gu He.

"Thank you, Sir!"

Gu He clenched his hands, but still asked for Qing Lin's thoughts.

"Do you still want to return to the Xiao Family to be... a maid?"

Qing Lin was stunned, countless memories surfaced, there were:

"Look at her, she's the child born from the illicit union between a snake-person and a human!"

"Indeed, she looks just like a snake-person. Look at that vixen-like demeanor, who is she trying to seduce!"

"The Xiao Family taking you in as a maid is a great act of kindness!"

"..."

On Qing Lin's small face, her brows were knitted into furrows, clearly in a difficult position.

Xiao Yi Xian brought over the freshly cooked millet porridge and gestured to Qing Lin.

"Eat something before thinking about it. You probably haven't eaten for several days."

"Gurgle~"

Qing Lin's stomach growled at the right moment.

"Okay." Qing Lin replied softly.

She remembered this sister praising her for looking like a flower when she woke up.

...What kind of flower was it like?

Qing Lin thought silently. Just as she was about to take the spoon to eat by herself, she saw this sister wearing purple clothes and a skirt gently blow on the heat of the porridge, then lifted her slender hand, making a gesture to feed her.

"No, no need... I can do it myself..." Qing Lin had never been fed by anyone since she was young; even when sick, she bought coarse cakes and ate them with cold water.

This was the first time someone wanted to feed her, and it was a beautiful sister with a fragrant scent and an ethereal temperament.

Xiao Yi Xian pouted, "You are not allowed to refuse! I made this especially!"

Being so disobedient, if she had known, she would have used poison instead of putting soothing powder to relieve mental stress in the porridge.

Hmph, she didn't appreciate her kindness!

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's appearance that looked like she was angry, Qing Lin felt it was strange, strange... warm.

She opened her mouth and ate the porridge in small bites.

Xiao Yi Xian was not impatient, but fed her slowly until the porcelain bowl was empty.

Gu He looked at the two of them getting along peacefully, nodded, and returned to the original topic.

"I don't want to force you to make a decision, but people always need a place to go."

"Although I saved you, it doesn't matter if you want to return to the Xiao Family."

Gu He didn't expect Qing Lin to have amnesia, but regardless of whether she had amnesia or not, he would let her make her own decision.

After all, this was her life.

Qing Lin listened silently, bit her lip, and hurriedly looked up at Gu He's appearance, as if she wanted to imprint Gu He in her mind.

She pulled her wrist, which had been covered all along, out from the quilt.

"But..."

"I don't want to go back, but..."

"Do you really not mind that I have the snake-person Bloodline?"

At this moment, Gu He also saw the snake scales glowing with strange light on her wrist.

He smiled gently and touched Qing Lin's wrist.

"Why have you been covering it up? Snake scales are very beautiful!"

Qing Lin blinked, looking blankly at Gu He, as if she hadn't expected him to say that.

Gu He rubbed her head.

"I don't mind what your Bloodline is, and you even need to know that your Bloodline is not a disgrace; it is a power that protects you."

Although Qing Lin's Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was defeated by Mo Cheng, she possessed the world's number one strange pupil, so why worry about not having other snake-type Demonic Beasts to control?

"Are you willing to stay by my side?" Gu He asked softly.

Qing Lin's hands tightly clutched the quilt, and her experiences of walking on thin ice in Stone Desert City kept flashing before her eyes. She couldn't find a reason to go back.

"Can, can I really?"

"Can I also stay by Master's side like Sister?"

Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yi Xian, her voice timid, like a frightened little rabbit.

Gu He nodded and introduced directly,

"Her name is Xiao Yi Xian, you can call her Sister Xian."

"Here with me, you don't need to be so polite."

Qing Lin blankly raised her little head, a pair of strange pupils looking at Xiao Yi Xian, with a hint of faint expectation.

"Xian... Sister Xian!"

Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned.

Sister Xian?

This term, spoken from the mouth of thirteen or fourteen-year-old Qing Lin, was exceptionally pure.

"Mm, Sister Qing." Xiao Yi Xian replied.

Her heart moved, and she took out a light green sachet from her storage ring.

"This is for you, as our meeting gift."

Her eyes carried a touch of genuine smile.

A long time ago, in the small medicine store in Qingshan Town, people often called her sister, but they were all "Sister Xiao Yi Xian". No one had ever directly called her—

"Sister Xian"

She knew she might not be worthy of the word "Xian", but hearing Qing Lin call her that made her exceptionally happy.

Gu He was a bit surprised that Xiao Yi Xian had even prepared a meeting gift.

He instructed Qing Lin, "You will live here from now on. If you need anything, ask me or your Sister Xian."

Qing Lin nodded heavily, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Gu He.

Gu He placed the sachet Xiao Yi Xian took out into Qing Lin's hand, and Qing Lin immediately said,

"Thank you, Master!"

Gu He curled his lips helplessly and said sincerely,

"Perhaps, you can try to treat us as family."

"Of course, don't force yourself either."

Qing Lin smiled, her brows already curved into crescent shapes.

"Okay, Master!"

Gu He shook his head, smiled, and helped her tuck in the quilt, not forcing her to change the way she addressed him.

At this moment,

[Ding! The target's favorability towards the host has increased by 30%, obtaining the reward: a three-piece set for Cultivate!]

[Target Qing Lin's favorability towards the host: 30%]

Hearing the prompt, Gu He was stunned for a second, and then reacted.

The System has sent benefits!

That's awesome!

...

It was late, and after Gu He settled Qing Lin, he and Xiao Yi Xian returned to their respective rooms.

Just as he untied his belt, he discovered that the little snake sleeping in his chest pocket had woken up at some point.

The seven-colored snake scales under the moonstone looked exactly like flowing, colorful brocade.

"Are you hungry?"

Gu He raised his eyebrows.

He waved his large hand, and very directly and extravagantly filled a whole long table with Medicinal Pill.

Jade bottles, each shining with a moist luster, were lined up neatly on the table. The little snake's purple eyes instantly brightened like stars!

She crawled towards the bottle emitting fire elements, and politely tapped it with her snake tail, as if saying,

"Sister Snake is here to eat you~"

Gu He raised his finger, wiped away the drool that was about to drip from the little snake, and helped her pull out the stopper.

"Here."

The little snake was also unceremonious, her snake tail curled around the bottle, and she poured a whole bottle into her mouth in one gulp.

"Gulp~"

Gu He kept opening jade bottles for her, and she kept eating.

Suddenly, a Medicinal Pill slipped out of the bottle. Gu He picked it up and fed it to the little snake himself.

And just at this moment, a ray of light shot out.

A sticky and warm feeling came from Gu He's finger, but it didn't feel like a snake's tongue.

...
