Chapter 154: Bestowing Dou Techniques at Will, Qing Lin's Dou Qi Rises Again
By the time dawn broke and Wu Tian still hadn't come out, Mo Ba Si and Yin Shi started getting worried.
They exchanged glances, both seeing concern in the other's eyes.
Mo Ba Si suggested checking the situation inside, but Yin Shi stopped him
What if nothing was wrong and they were just… busy?
That would be asking for death.
So, the wise Yin Shi proposed a safer plan:
"Let's just knock first. If no one answers, then we check."
And thanks to that, Mo Ba Si barely avoided disaster
Because at that very moment, Qing Lin was attacking Wu Tian…
Wu Tian looked at the two nervous Snake Person leaders before him and smiled kindly.
That smile made their hearts sink.
Oh no…
The Guardian Spirit Lord rarely smiled at them.
And when he did
It never meant anything good.
The two followed Wu Tian into the meeting hall of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.
At this point, the entire mercenary group had basically become Wu Tian's backyard.
He could do whatever he wanted.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had already turned into loyal servants, tending to their new "father".
And why wouldn't they?
Once Wu Tian left, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's status in the New Desert City
No, in the Nine Great Desert Cities
Would skyrocket.
They had figured it out
The more they sucked up to Wu Tian now, the better their future would be.
So, now they were going all out.
They had even cleared the entire mercenary hall
Now, only they and the female attendants remained, dedicated solely to serving Wu Tian's Snake Person guards.
At this point, their dignity as mercenary leaders was completely gone.
But their future status?
Through the roof.
While waiting for Wu Tian, Mo Ba Si and Yin Shi stood silently among the Snake Person warriors.
Even though they were Dou Wang experts, they knew their place.
After all
The lowest ranked Snake Person guards here were all Da Dou Shi.
And they, the two proud mercenary leaders?
Just little Five Star Dou Shi.
Once Wu Tian finally emerged, both of them immediately dropped to their knees.
Wu Tian smirked, looking at the two and saying,
"You disturbed me early in the morning. So… what do you want as a reward?"
"Huh?"
The two froze, then immediately panicked and fell flat on the floor.
Wu Tian chuckled.
"Why are you kneeling? Here, take this."
He casually tossed two manuals to them.
"One is called Absorption Palm almost called 'Suction Palm.' And the other is Lion Roar Technique a sound based Dou Technique."
The two were stunned.
They had expected punishment
Instead, they got two Dou Techniques?!
What kind of crazy logic was this?!
Wu Tian already knew why they had come knocking.
Last night, he had ordered Huo Jian to send for them when they returned
But then, well… things had happened.
They weren't at fault.
In fact, they had been diligent.
So, they deserved a reward.
Of course, how big of a reward was up to him.
Then, his expression turned cold.
"Prepare yourselves. Tomorrow, we're wiping out the Mo Clan."
His eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Yes!"
The two accepted the order without hesitation.
Wu Tian then added,
"Also, since you two worked so 'hard' this morning, go fetch Yan Ci, Hei Du, and Mei Xing as well."
"Yes…!"
The two left bitterly.
Fetching three different Snake Person leaders from three different places?
That was going to be hell.
This was clearly punishment disguised as an errand.
But they had no choice.
Wu Tian then turned toward Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were waiting obediently nearby.
With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out another Dou Technique manual.
"Here, take this."
"It's called Jade Finger Divine Art. A Xuan Class technique."
He casually tossed it to them.
The two froze, then immediately fell to their knees, crying out,
"Thank you, Guardian Spirit Lord! We swear to serve you forever!"
Wu Tian felt his ears going numb.
He turned away and headed back to the small yet interesting room.
Inside Qing Lin's Room
By now, the door was already open.
Qing Lin had changed into a fresh blue dress, undoubtedly provided by those bootlicking Xiao brothers.
Wu Tian was very pleased.
"No wonder emperors love flattering officials so much."
"This kind of service… who wouldn't enjoy it?"
Qing Lin, seeing Wu Tian enter, spun around happily and asked,
"Wu Tian gege, do I look good?"
Her slim waist twisted gracefully, her perfect figure outlined by the flowing blue fabric.
Her long, fair legs peeked through, while her fragrant hair swayed gently.
At this moment, she was so beautiful it was almost criminal.
Her delicate rosy face, still looking a bit flushed from earlier, made her all the more alluring.
"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." Wu Tian praised.
Qing Lin blushed, then whispered shyly,
"Hehe~ Wu Tian gege, my strength just broke through again! I'm now a Two Star Dou Zhe!"
Wu Tian stared at her, shocked.
"A Two Star Dou Zhe…?!"
"How?!
"It hasn't even been half an hour!"
"You leveled up again?!"
"How did you do it?!"
Qing Lin lowered her head shyly, twiddling her fingers.
"Well… after you left… I just kept thinking about you, Wu Tian gege…"
Wu Tian blinked.
Wait.
That sentence
Plus her flushed face
Plus everything from last night
...
...
...
Ahem.
"Oh! You must have been thinking about me… while training, right?"
Yes! That's it!
Wu Tian quickly rationalized it.
Her Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils must have stimulated her latent potential, allowing her repressed Dou Qi to surge out.
That's why she leveled up so fast.
It definitely wasn't because of…
...
...
...
Anyway
Right now, the best way to help her grow stronger was to find and subdue those twin flame serpents.
So
Wu Tian took her hand and said,
"Come on, Qing Lin! Let's grab some breakfast, then go find your big snake companions!"
Qing Lin beamed.
"Mm~!"
As they walked, Qing Lin kept glancing at Wu Tian, her gaze filled with warmth and admiration.
Even a fool could tell
She had completely fallen for him.
