Normally, when a strange mark suddenly appears on your right forearm, it's best not to mention it to outsiders. After all, you don't know what the mark represents. What if it signifies you're some world-ending disaster? That would be a big problem.

From a certain perspective, this isn't even a matter of trust, since you can't be sure if showing this mark to others might bring them bad luck. Like, what if they get cursed just by seeing it?

So, Xiao Lin actually only planned to tell Leng Youxue about it.

As always, the saying goes, "Though Master may be short in stature, her skills are exceptionally high." If she can't solve it, then there's no need to solve it. Just find a good spot and wait for reincarnation.

As for whether Master might have some ulterior motive because of this mark and turn against him... Xiao Lin couldn't quite explain it, but he just felt she wouldn't.

To be honest, Xiao Lin actually trusts Leng Youxue a lot.

The strange thing is, it's an inexplicable trust that appeared the first day Xiao Lin met Leng Youxue.

Xiao Lin even suspects that he might have had some connection with Leng Youxue in a past life.

In short, considering all the above, Xiao Lin was actually planning to pay his respects to Leng Youxue this morning and then ask her about the mark.

But now, since Ning Yunmiao seems to have received a task related to this mark, Xiao Lin thought he might as well give it a try.

After all, since Ning Yunmiao's system sent her to help him, letting her see the mark shouldn't cause any problems, right? Unless Ning Yunmiao's system intends to harm her...

As for whether Fourth Junior Sister would harm him... well, it's already impressive if she doesn't get harmed by others.

"Change? What change?" Ning Yunmiao immediately asked upon hearing this.

Ning Yunmiao could ignore other tasks, but she was extremely focused on this one. You could say she was prepared to do whatever it takes for her sense of taste!

"In summary, a mark suddenly appeared on my right hand." Xiao Lin said, pulling up his right sleeve.

A mark resembling an ox head, light blue in color, about a quarter of a palm in size, immediately appeared before the two of them.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Ning Yunmiao's eyes lit up.

[I want one too, but I want it in the shape of a cat, not an ox head.]

Do you think this is a tattoo? Wanting it in the shape of a cat...

Xiao Lin's mouth twitched slightly and continued, "The appearance of this mark seems to be related to the Black Tortoise Soul-Consolidation Pill I took earlier."

"Black Tortoise what pill?"

"Black Tortoise Soul-Consolidation Pill."

"Oh... what's that?"

"...It's the pill Master gave me yesterday."

"Oh, so that pill has such effects."

I'm just providing you with a possibility, hoping you can help figure out what's going on, not telling you that this is the effect of the Black Tortoise Soul-Consolidation Pill... Forget it, why did I even expect Fourth Junior Sister to help me figure it out?

Xiao Lin shook his head inwardly, "Besides the confusion about the mark's appearance, I'm also puzzled about its purpose. Surely it's not just for decoration, right?"

[It could be, it looks really nice. If it were a pink cat head, I can't imagine how cute it would be!]

Enough already!

Xiao Lin restrained himself from giving Ning Yunmiao a flick on the forehead and continued, "Fourth Junior Sister, you mentioned inspiration earlier. I wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on this mark that could provide me with some inspiration."

"Let me take a look."

Hearing this, Ning Yunmiao immediately leaned forward and carefully examined the mark on Xiao Lin's hand.

She was now certain that the mark on Xiao Lin's right hand was her task target. With that in mind, she was determined to give it her all for the sake of her taste buds.

However, despite her determination, after a long time, Ning Yunmiao still had no clue.

"Uh... Open sesame?"

So in the end, she just blurted that out.

"..."

Xiao Lin blinked, suddenly feeling that discussing this matter with Fourth Junior Sister might be a waste of time.

"Uh... Urgent as a decree? Transformation? A mark hiding dark powers? Avada Kedavra?"

Hey, hey, hey, why is Avada Kedavra even mentioned here!

Seeing Ning Yunmiao seemingly ready to keep trying, Xiao Lin quickly advised, "Fourth Junior Sister, I don't think that's it."

"Uh... then what should we do?" Ning Yunmiao immediately looked at Xiao Lin with a face full of helplessness.

Big brother, I'm here to ask for your help, not for you to ask me what to do...

Xiao Lin took a deep breath, looked at Ning Yunmiao's cute little face, and smiled slightly, "Forget it, Fourth Junior Sister, I think with our wisdom, it's hard to decipher the mystery. Why don't we ask Master?"

"Yeah, that's true." Ning Yunmiao nodded without any guilt or shame, "That's the quickest way."

[I almost forgot about Master. As long as Master solves this, my taste buds will be saved, yay!]

"Then let's go see Master together."

"Okay!"

"Let's go."

"Wait, let me grab something to eat. Can't skip breakfast."

"...Get me something too."

"Sure."

...

...

At the back of Green Lotus Peak, in front of the bamboo house.

Xiao Lin and Ning Yunmiao looked at the closed door with somewhat subtle expressions.

Just now, they had consulted Leng Youxue about the ox-head mark.

And guess what?

"Oh, this? No problem. Hmm? It can indeed be used as an attack method. How to use it? I don't know either. You grew it yourself, figure it out yourself. Alright, alright, don't bother me, off you go."

That was Leng Youxue's response.

Unbelievable.

"Master didn't solve our problem at all..." Ning Yunmiao pouted, saddened by the threat to her taste buds once again.

"At least we know the mark is harmless..." Xiao Lin said with a resigned expression.

After all, he had anticipated this outcome before they came.

"So what do we do now?"

"Since it's harmless, let's take our time. Eventually, we'll..."

"No way! Senior Brother!"

"Uh..."

Looking at Ning Yunmiao's pitiful face, Xiao Lin remembered that the use of his mark was related to her sense of taste, and he awkwardly scratched his head, "So... does Fourth Junior Sister have any good ideas?"

"I do have an idea."

Ning Yunmiao raised her small fist to her chest, looking serious.

"Uh... then, let's try it?"

Seeing Ning Yunmiao's expression, Xiao Lin had a feeling he might regret this decision.
