DOUPO: From the Insignificant to the Emperor

Looking into the distance, the outline of a huge city was dyed red under the setting sun.

  Lin Feng wiped off the sand that was blown onto his body by the wind and stuck to his sweat.

  A smile suddenly appeared on the bitter face.

  Since he had never been to the desert before, it was inconvenient to use the Dou Qi Gauze Robe on the road.

  Therefore, the days of traveling in the desert made him feel very uncomfortable.

  However, there were several attacks by monsters along the way.

  There was no incident where the caravan turned into robbers and robbed him.

  Looking at the Shimo City not far away, Lin Feng felt relieved.

  The other members of the caravan also had more smiles on their faces.

  They were engaged in defensive work throughout the entire journey and were extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

  Now that they have arrived in Shimo City, it means they can take a break and relieve the fatigue of these days.

  Amid everyone's anticipation, the caravan slowly moved forward to the city gate and then poured in.

  After entering the city, Lin Feng paid the balance, said goodbye to the caravan, and strolled around the city.

  While strolling around, Lin Feng discovered the city in the desert.

  Compared with the cities within the empire, it is more simple and solemn.

  Moreover, perhaps because it is close to the Tagor Desert, the defense here is much stricter than that within the empire.

  In the city, fully armed soldiers patrolling can be seen everywhere.

  "Ouch!"

  At a corner, a little girl of about twelve or thirteen suddenly jumped out.

  Although Lin Feng discovered it in advance and stopped walking immediately, the little girl obviously did not have this ability.

  While running, the little head hit Lin Feng's abdomen directly, then bounced back and let out a cry of pain.

  The cloth bag held in the two little hands was also thrown away, and the things inside were scattered all over the ground.

  "Little sister, are you okay?"

  Seeing the little girl fall to the ground, Lin Feng walked up quickly, helped her up, and asked softly.

  "No, it's alright."

  The little girl seemed a little afraid that Lin Feng would get angry, and looked at him cautiously.

  Afterwards, when she saw that Lin Feng really had no intention of hitting her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

  However, when she saw the food scattered on the ground, her pretty little face instantly turned like a bitter gourd.

  "It's over. This is the only meal of the day."

  The girl exclaimed and hurried over to the pile of food scattered on the ground.

  We know that food on the ground will inevitably be contaminated by dust.

  But I still held on to a glimmer of hope, picked it up from the ground and took a closer look.

  Then, the girl's slightly green eyes dimmed in an instant, her legs softened, and she sat down on the ground again.

  "Well"

  Seeing this situation, Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, feeling a little at a loss.

  If it was an adult, it would be much easier for him to deal with it, but he really had no way to deal with a crying child.

  I looked at the girl's clothes, which were somewhat shabby.

  It's almost the same as before he was promoted to a fighter. I guess his life isn't that good either.

  This time, she also scattered her only meal of the day on the ground, so she would have to go hungry tonight.

  Thinking of this, Lin Feng walked to the girl and squatted down, then took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket.

  He took her little hand, placed the gold coin in her palm, and smiled softly, "Take it and buy another one."

  Looking at the heavy cloth bag in her hand, the little girl's head was buzzing.

  The amount of gold coins in this bag might not be enough even if she were sold.

  But thinking of his own food, he took one out and hesitated for a moment.

  He then reluctantly stretched out his arm holding the cloth bag.

  "Big brother, one gold coin is more than enough for all my stuff."

  The girl sniffed and said weakly. Looking at the girl's actions in front of him, Lin Feng was slightly surprised.

  I didn't expect her to do this. If it were him, he would have run away with the gold coins.

  But then I thought, this girl lives in Shimo City, so she should be very familiar with this place.

  It would be much easier to find Qinglin here by myself if there was someone familiar to guide me.

  He stroked the girl's hair and said with a smile, "Little sister, what's your name? How about this, you help me a favor and this bag of gold coins will be your reward, okay?"

  Hearing this, the girl's eyes swept over Lin Feng, and then she said, "My name is Qinglin. If big brother wants to hire me, let me eat my fill."

  "Your name is Qinglin?!"

  When Lin Feng heard the word Qinglin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at the girl.

  "Yes, but big brother, I...I didn't mean it."

  Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Qing Lin's heart suddenly tightened, thinking that Lin Feng knew that he had snake blood.

  She was so scared that she dropped the gold coins, subconsciously hugged her little head with her hands, closed her legs, and waited for the fists and feet to come.

  Qinglin's action immediately exposed the green snake scales on her arm.

  This made Lin Feng certain that the girl in front of him was Qing Lin.

  "Haha, I just think your name sounds nice."

  The imagined fists and kicks did not come, but instead a gentle male voice sounded in my ears.

  Qinglin raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Feng who was smiling in front of him.

  Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the scales on her arms exposed, and in an instant, her pretty face turned pale again.

  "S-Sorry...I didn't mean to scare you."

  Qinglin quickly withdrew his arms and buried his head between his legs.

  His body was trembling slightly, and there was a hint of pleading for mercy in his timid voice.

  Looking at Qinglin's timid appearance, Lin Feng sighed in his heart.

  I really don't know how Qinglin managed to survive these past ten years.

  With a little force, he pulled Qinglin's arm out, and then, as she looked terrified, he carefully lifted her sleeve with his other hand.

  Looking at those green snake scales, he whispered softly, "What beautiful scales."

  Hearing this, Qing Lin was startled with fear. Since she was born, Lin Feng was the first person who actually said that these scales that scared her were beautiful...

  A strange feeling quietly emerged in that weak and almost devastated heart.

  With eyes that exuded a strange charm, she timidly said, "Big brother, aren't you afraid?"

  Lin Feng stared at Qing Lin's pair of green and watery eyes.

  After careful observation for a while, I found that there were indeed three extremely tiny green dots hidden deep in the pupil.

  Staring closely at those somewhat eerie green pupils, Lin Feng suddenly felt a little dazed.

  A moment later, Lin Feng's heart trembled violently, and he quickly came to his senses, with a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

  This Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil is worthy of being the most amazing pupil in the continent. Even with its own soul power, it was actually a little dazed.

  Looking at Qinglin's cute and delicate face, he rubbed Qinglin's little head again.

  With a smile on his face, he said, "You are really beautiful. If I were scared, I wouldn't be here talking to you."

  Lin Feng did not lie to Qing Lin with these words.

  After all, he had not experienced a war against the snake people, so he did not have that much resentment towards them.

  What's more, he himself did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Gama Empire.

  In addition, in his previous life, he had seen these in many entertainment works.

  Therefore, he was more curious.
