The next day, morning.
Gama Emperor City, Xiao Residence.
"Teacher, time to get up..."
In the early morning, Qing Lin looked at Xiao Xue, who was hugging her quilt and sleeping soundly
on the bed, with a somewhat helpless expression as she called out softly.
Amidst Qing Lin's calling, Xiao Xue blearily opened her fox-like eyes and glanced at Qing Lin with
drooping eyelids.
"Mm... Qing Lin, why are you up so early..."
Is anyone who can wake up before 8 AM even human? (Crossed out)
As a maid back in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Qing Lin naturally woke up early and slept late,
and she also had to perform many tasks to serve others.
For an eleven or twelve-year-old child, this could practically be considered torture.
However, Qing Lin had already grown accustomed to this biological clock.
Xiao Xue rolled over and lay flat without any concern for her image. "It's still early, let me sleep a
bit longer..."
Back in Stone Desert City, while refining Essence Blood, she had replaced sleep with meditation
and Cultivation.
And on the way to the Emperor City, she had maintained the release of her Soul Power to keep watch at night, preventing any sudden emergencies.
It wasn't until she returned to the Xiao Residence that Xiao Xue truly relaxed. After her Upgrade
yesterday, she had allowed herself to fall into a deep slumber.
Perhaps the fatigue of these past few days had been suppressed by her Cultivation; now that her
spirit had suddenly relaxed today, she actually felt like staying in bed.
Qing Lin gently pushed her arm. "Teacher, it's really not early anymore. Besides, Senior Sister Xiao
Yi Xian is waiting for you outside."
"Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian said she's going to participate in the Second-Grade Alchemist
assessment and wants to invite you to go along."
Within Qing Lin's voice, there was an undisguised envy.
A Second-Grade Alchemist! Right now, she was only at the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi.
Xiao Xue wasn't surprised that Xiao Yi Xian was preparing to test for Second-Grade Alchemist.
After all, Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Qi cultivation had reached One-Star Dou Ling, and her Soul Power was
sufficient.
What she needed now to Breakthrough her Alchemist Rank was nothing more than a large amount
of practice.
As long as she had enough time and medicinal ingredients for practice, coupled with some proper
guidance, her alchemy skills would steadily improve.
And Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin seemed to be getting along quite well.
Although they had only met yesterday, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had already become familiar with
each other.
Both had childhood experiences that weren't very pleasant, so Xiao Yi Xian felt great pity for Qing
Lin's plight, and Qing Lin was very moved by Xiao Yi Xian's gentleness.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin felt like old friends meeting late, hitting it off instantly, and preparing to
elope... Wait, it seems like something strange mixed in there.
Qing Lin had entered in her capacity as a "maid," while Xiao Yi Xian hadn't come in and was
waiting outside.
In Qing Lin's heart now, Xiao Xue was first, Xiao Yi Xian was second, and Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and
the others who took her in were tied for third.
Xiao Xue, caught between laughter and tears, looked at Qing Lin who was pouting beside her. She
let out a soft sigh and could only abandon the idea of staying in bed.
She had absolutely no resistance against a little sister who knew how to act spoiled!
Moreover, she could hear the faint protectiveness towards Xiao Yi Xian in Qing Lin's tone.
This silly girl—if you give her a little gentleness, she will remember your kindness.
A girl should be raised in abundance. It seems she should be a bit better to Qing Lin in the future,
so she doesn't foolishly get kidnapped by just anyone who shows her a little kindness.
Xiao Xue sat up somewhat languidly. Under the service of Qing Lin's soft and tender little hands,
she quickly finished dressing.
Qing Lin's pair of delicate little hands served Xiao Xue to her extreme satisfaction.
Xiao Xue looked at Qing Lin and teased with a smile, "This kind of life is truly what a Young Miss
should live."
"If such a considerate person is missing from my side in the future and I can't adapt, what will I do?"
Hearing this, Qing Lin felt a slight sweetness in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
