btth: reincarnated as a half-saint

"How could I not want you, it's just..."

Qing Lin's words made Xie Tianxiao sigh softly. He reached out and touched Qing Lin's hair again, and said softly: "Forget it, in this case, you will just be my maid."

"Yes, Qinglin is also willing to be your maid."

Hearing Xie Tianxiao's words, Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded happily, then raised his head and gave Xie Tianxiao a sweet smile.

Seeing Qinglin's smile, Xie Tianxiao shook his head secretly in his heart.

Qing Lin is indeed a simple and kind girl, but alas... she is too kind, so she is bullied.

Xie Tianxiao sighed in his heart and said: "Since you are my maid, no one will dare to look down on you."

"And you don't have to serve me now. You are still young and should go where you are supposed to go."

Hearing this, Qinglin gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to say: "But... Qinglin wants to stay with you, my Lord!"

"Will you stay with me?"

Xie Tianxiao smiled lightly, staring into Qinglin's eyes and suddenly asked: "Qinglin, do you want to have the strength to make others respect you, and to help me in the future?"

"Qinglin doesn't want to scare others, but if you need me, Qinglin is willing to be a powerful being and protect you."

Qinglin raised his head and answered firmly.

"Haha..Okay."

Hearing Qing Lin's answer, Xie Tianxiao's face flashed with satisfaction, and then he stroked Qing Lin's head and said: "In this case, don't think about anything else, just listen to my arrangements, understand?"

"Yes, Qinglin knows."

Qinglin lowered his head and spoke softly.

Seeing Qinglin agreed, Xie Tianxiao's eyes fell on Xiao Ding, and then he said lightly: "Xiao Ding, since Qinglin has already agreed to this seat, do you have any questions?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding immediately clasped his hands and said respectfully: "Your Excellency values Qing Lin so much and even made her your maid, so I naturally have no reason to doubt it."

"Qinglin is a good child. It is her blessing to have a strong man like you following her."

Although Xiao Ding was a little puzzled as to why someone like Xie Tianxiao would suddenly come to find Qinglin, and even gave people a feeling that he had to have her.

But no matter how strange it was, he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, he didn't want to offend Xie Tianxiao, a man whose strength and identity were a mystery.

Besides, he was also happy that Qinglin had a good place to go.

After all, he was just a small Dou Shi, and the man in front of him was at least a Dou Wang!

"Brother, how can you trust him so easily? Who knows if he is really good to Qing Lin, or just pretending?"

At this time, Xiao Li on the side whispered to Xiao Ding.

He didn't really believe what Xie Tianxiao said, and thought that the other party was just using Qinglin to achieve his goals.

"Second brother, have you forgotten what I said before? Shut up."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Ding glared at him and growled.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Seeing Xiao Ding getting angry, Xiao Yi quickly closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding no longer paid attention to Xiao Li, turned to Xie Tianxiao and said: "I'm sorry, my second brother spoke rashly, please don't take it as an offense."

"If I were offended, your Desert Iron Mercenary Group would have long disappeared from this Stone Desert City."

Xie Tianxiao glanced at the people around him calmly and spoke slowly, his voice calm and without any waves.

At this point, everyone's heart trembled again, and they all felt that the pressure around them was increasing, as if it was going to crush them at any time.

At this time, Xiao Li also swallowed his saliva and felt scared.

Although he is rather reckless, it doesn't mean he is stupid.

He was unhappy with Xie Tianxiao before and thought that the other party was at most a Grand Fighter, but now it seems that he is far more than that.

"Yes, yes..thank you very much for your generosity, senior."

Feeling the vague pressure around him, Xiao Ding's face changed slightly and he quickly apologized with a smile.

That was a close call!

The man in front of him, Xie Tianxiao, was indeed unfathomable!

Fortunately, he had foresight and did not offend him, otherwise, his Desert Iron Mercenary Group might really disappear in this Stone Desert City!

After thinking about it, Xiao Ding looked at Qinglin and said, "Qinglin, after leaving the mercenary group, remember to follow this senior well and don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, I know, Captain. Thank you for taking me in."

Hearing Xiao Ding's reminder to her, Qing Lin nodded and said gratefully.

"It's okay. You're welcome."

Hearing Qinglin's words, Xiao Ding just smiled and didn't say much.

After Xie Tianxiao saw that everyone was behaving themselves, he looked at Xiao Ding and asked, "Xiao Ding, is there anything special about your area?"

"For example, the temperature in one place is different from that in another place?"

Special place?

Temperature?

Hearing Xie Tianxiao's words, Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looked at Xie Tianxiao in surprise and asked: "Senior, what's the matter?"

"I need a strange fire, and according to the information I got, this strange fire is hidden in the desert nearby!"

Xie Tianxiao nodded and explained.

Strange fire!

In the desert!

Hearing Xie Tianxiao's words, Xiao Ding and others were moved.

Strange fire, this legendary thing that alchemists dream of, actually appeared in the desert surrounding their Stone Desert City. This is simply too surprising.

a long time.

Xiao Ding asked tentatively: "Senior, do you mean that you need our help to find the strange fire hidden in this desert?"

"Yes, you mercenaries often go out in the desert around here, so you must know which places have different temperature differences."

"I need you to help me find these special places and inform me, and I will give you enough gold coins in return."

Xie Tianxiao glanced at Xiao Ding and others and said lightly.

In addition to taking Qinglin away, he came to Shimo City for another reason: the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

Xie Tianxiao had read the original novel and knew that the strange fire was in this vast desert, but he didn't know its exact location.

It's not like he hadn't thought about using his soul power to explore, but his soul power at the spiritual level was simply not enough to support him in exploring the desert.

Therefore, he might as well let these mercenaries help him find it. Besides, in the original book, it was these people who found the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"Haha, what are you talking about, senior?"

"It is our honor to help you, senior. We don't need any reward."

Hearing Xie Tianxiao's words, Xiao Ding shook his head and refused with a smile.

Compared to money, he valued Xie Tianxiao's attitude towards them more. It would be best if he could leave a good impression on the other party.
