Dou Po: Lord of the Great Thousand

In a rather grandly decorated guest room, Tang Ling silently looked at the little girl Qinglin.

Qinglin was sitting pretty on the chair next to the table, his two light green eyes peeking at Tang Ling from time to time.

Her little hands quietly shrank into the sleeves of her clothes, but after putting on a blue palace dress, she could no longer hide her wrists in her sleeves.

A small blue palace dress, her washed hair with some water stains hanging behind her back, her delicate little face that had been washed away from dust finally revealed its original appearance.

There was a slight blush on her porcelain doll-like face, but beneath the blush, her face was full of anxiety.

Smiling, he walked to the girl and squatted down, looking straight at the small figure on the chair. He took the girl's little hand and said softly: "Very beautiful scales. Since you don't have a name, I'll call you Qinglin from now on, okay?"

?”

Going back to Tang Ling who had made a decision a few hours ago, he expressed his thoughts after Xiao Qinglin had just completed his first Dou Qi training.

"Do you want to come with me?"

Qinglin suddenly raised his little head and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

"Haha!" He reached out and patted Qinglin's little head and said with a smile, "My name is Tang Ling. There may be a lot of dangers if you follow me, and..."

"I do, you are a good person!"

"Well……"

Tang Ling was speechless for a moment, as he was inexplicably hit with the good guy card by a five or six year old girl.

However, since the other party agreed, Tang Ling said no more, waved the igloo away, and pulled the dirty Qinglin back to the inn.

Instruct the clerk to find an honest old woman to help Qinglin clean up himself thoroughly.

The old woman was a human being, and although she was a little displeased with the Qinglin human-snake hybrid, she still tried her best to clean up the little girl and dress her up beautifully with the reward given by Tang Ling.

However, the way the old woman looked at Tang Ling before leaving made him feel that something was not right about the look in her eyes.

And unexpectedly, maybe because he was dressed in blue, when he asked Xiao Qinglin what color clothes she liked, the little girl actually said blue.

Back to the present, Qing Lin looked at Tang Ling with some worry. Tang Ling held her two small hands, and her palms were full of sweat.

Looking at the blue scales on Qinglin's wrist, Tang Ling had curiosity in his eyes.

As a time traveler, this is the first time he has seen a race that is different from the human race. Well, maybe he himself is not a human race.

But this did not hinder his curiosity about the green-scaled human-snake hybrid. As for the fear and disgust of the residents of Stone Desert City in the original book, there was no trace of it.

Originally Qinglin was very likable in the original book, and when he came to Stone Desert City, he actually landed directly near Qinglin.

Perhaps, this inexplicable fate between the two was also one of the reasons why Tang Ling took the little girl away.

Sensing Tang Ling's curiosity about the scales on his wrist, and his eyes completely devoid of the disgust and fear of others in the past, Qinglin's worries instantly dissipated.

The little head nodded, and Qinglin said crisply: "Well, Qinglin listens to you."

"My name is Tang Ling. You will be my sister from now on. You can call me brother." Tang Ling rubbed Qinglin's little head with a smile on his face.

"Is it okay?" Qing Lin's eyes were full of surprise.

I originally thought that I would just be taken in as a maid or slave, but I never thought that one day I would be adopted as a sister.

"Of course!" Tang Ling said with a smile after rubbing the other person's little head.

"Yeah!" With an excited twang, Qinglin jumped off the chair and threw himself into Tang Ling's arms.

Feeling the trembling little body in his arms, and the gradually moistening coat on his chest, Tang Ling sighed softly, held the little girl in his arms, and allowed her to vent out the grievances and fears she had suffered for several years.

The moon was rising, the stars were darkening, the world was changing, and when the moonlight in the sky was shining like water through the window in the room, the little girl in Tang Ling's arms had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion, snoring softly.

After putting the little girl on the bed, Tang Ling sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think about the next itinerary.

Since he decided to take Qing Lin with him, it would not be appropriate to fly directly to the Imperial Capital.

Although he could use his fighting spirit to protect the little girl along the way, it would be a great burden on him and Qinglin.

What's more, Haibodong at this time was eager to regain his strength and obviously wanted to return to the imperial capital quickly.

"It seems that we can only set off separately!"

However, with his friendship with Mittel Tengshan and his kindness to Hai Bodong, it should be no problem for the Mittel family to find a place for him to stay.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and the little girl also needs someone to take care of her.

Suddenly, Tang Ling thought of Bai Li's soul slave Liu Yue. As a person from the Tian She Mansion, she should have been a high-level fighting spirit in a few years. Teaching Qinglin fighting spirit should not be a problem at all.

Perhaps, when Qing Lin becomes a fighter, she can be sent to the Tian Snake Mansion. The thought of letting his enemies cultivate Qing Lin for him brought a smile to Tang Ling's face.

With the help of the Foundation-Building Spiritual Liquid, Qinglin has been exposed to Dou Qi practice many years in advance. I am afraid that by the time the plot begins, the little girl's strength will far exceed that in the original book.

After preliminary planning for the little girl's future, Tang Ling slowly began today's practice.

Tang Ling sat cross-legged on the bed, Qinglin's small body curled up on Tang Ling's side, his small mouth kept opening and closing, mumbling something vaguely.

Hai Bodong's hand when he opened the door was slightly stiff. After disappearing for a day and a night, he returned to the inn again and saw the scene above.

When Tang Ling looked over at him, his expression was awkward and his eyes were indescribably weird.

Looking back at Tang Ling, Hai Bodong's expression was strange, which reminded him of the old woman's strange expression when she left yesterday, and his face turned dark.

Don’t these old guys who have lived for decades have any good ideas in their minds?

"cough!"

Haibodong realized that he had made a misunderstanding and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

"Tang Ling, who is this little girl?"

"The sister I just recognized is called Qinglin!"

After saying that, he felt Qing Lin's body behind him suddenly not moving at all. A smile appeared on Tang Ling's lips, he pinched Qing Lin's face gently and said, "Now that you're awake, get up quickly."

Seeing that he was caught pretending to be asleep, Qinglin's face turned red. He stood up slightly and hid behind Tang Ling, looking at Haibodong curiously with his eyes exposed.

When she noticed the scar at the corner of the old man's eye and met Hai Bodong's eyes, the little girl trembled and shrank back again.

Haibodong's mouth twitched when he saw this, and when he was about to look away, he noticed the tiny scales on Qinglin's wrist, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

Having lived in the desert for more than ten years, he knows a lot about children who are hybrids of humans and snakes.

The little girl behind Tang Ling not only did not die early, but although she looked very frail, she was obviously stronger than ordinary people of the same age.

Seeing the strange behavior between the two, Tang Ling chuckled, pulled Qinglin who was hiding behind him, and introduced him to Haibodong.

After the two got to know each other for the first time, Tang Ling also spoke frankly and told Haibodong his next plan.

Of course, the content mentioned is limited to the trip to the imperial capital.

Hai Bodong didn't think too much after hearing this. Tang Ling was obviously not suitable for flying with a little girl for a long time, and he knew this.

"In that case, I'll wait for you at the Miter Auction House in the imperial capital!" Haibodong nodded and asked again, "When are you planning to leave and how?"

"Well……"

Tang Ling was speechless for a moment. He had hardly walked in the Jia Ma Empire, and he had no idea about the direction of the city.

Seeing this, Haibodong became more and more sure of his guess.

After two days of communication, Tang Ling obviously didn't know much about the Jia Ma Empire. Apart from some apparently powerful people, forces and families, he knew almost nothing else.

This completely denies that the other party is from the overweight empire. After all, the big families and forces will definitely inform you in detail about this basic knowledge about the empire.

However, what Haibodong thought may not be wrong. Although Tang Ling grew up in Lanshan Town, he was really not from the Gama Empire.

"If you want to take the little girl to the imperial capital, you must first return to Mocheng and ride the flying monster."

Tang Ling nodded slightly and motioned for Haibodong to continue speaking.

"However, as a border city, Mocheng does not have a direct route to the Imperial Capital. You have to change trains at Black Rock City before you can reach the Imperial Capital."

After saying that, Haibodong looked at Qinglin on the side and said with a smile: "Besides, there is a long distance from Shimo City to Mocheng. I suggest you find a caravan to go with you. It will be more comfortable on the road."

Hearing this, Tang Ling showed gratitude on his face and said to Hai Bodong: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hai, otherwise I would have to go out and ask questions."

Haibodong waved his hands indifferently and said, "Don't worry about such small things. When will you set off?"

"Tomorrow!" Tang Ling nodded slightly, noticed Hai Bodong's surprised expression, and explained with a smile, "Queen Medusa will not cause trouble for me. Hai Lao should stay in this stone desert city for a while!"

"this……"

Hearing this, Haibodong shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and raised his hand to nod Tang Ling.

…

At dawn the next day, Tang Ling took Xiao Qinglin to say goodbye to Haibodong, left Shimo City first, and walked towards Mo City.

At the gate of the city, he found the caravan he had arranged for yesterday. After paying a lot of gold coins, Tang Ling took Qing Lin into a luxurious carriage.

The carriage was one foot square, and although it was not big, it was already quite a luxury for traveling on the road. For Qing Lin, who was struggling to survive in Stone Desert City, everything seemed so incredible.

After spending a few days with Tang Ling and feeling Yang Ling's love for her, the little girl gradually began to show the nature that a little girl should have.

After entering the carriage, he began to look around curiously.

Seeing this, Tang Ling didn't say anything. After all, he had just rescued the other party from suffering, so of course he wouldn't ask her too much.

Moreover, although Qinglin is only six years old, he is obviously much more sensible.

After several years of suffering, Qinglin clearly knows what strength will bring to her, and will work hard to practice whenever she has time.

Although the fighting spirit progressed slowly without the help of the foundation-building spirit liquid, Tang Ling was quite satisfied with the little girl's patience and perseverance.

Even if he is not prepared to let Qinglin go through the years of being bullied in the original book, he will never let the little girl waste her talent.

As a horn sounded into the carriage, the long caravan finally began to move slowly.
