Little Fairy Doctor

"It's fine! I'm not in a hurry about the Strange Fire. Teacher isn't going anywhere, after all. You still have the Three-Year Agreement to fulfill, so you should be the first to devour a Strange Fire!" Yun Shu waved a hand and said indifferently.

Just kidding. If I absorbed another Strange Fire, I'd probably explode on the spot. I haven't lived nearly long enough yet...

Even if I wanted another Strange Fire, getting one from the system would still be the safest option. Steady, obedient Strange Fires were far more useful than those difficult-to-subdue ones, weren't they?

"Senior Brother~" Yun Shu's words immediately brought tears to Xiao Yan's eyes. He hadn't expected Yun Shu to treat him so well. Yun Shu had clearly found these Medicinal Herbs first, yet he was giving Xiao Yan the chance to be the first to devour a Strange Fire.

Even Yao Lao looked at Yun Shu in a new light. He began to wonder whether he had misjudged Yun Shu before. Yun Shu was actually such a good person.

"Oh, right, Teacher! After these past few days of fighting, I feel like my fighting style is too one-dimensional. I basically rely entirely on my hands. Do you have any combat techniques involving weapons, like greatswords? I happened to pick up this big ruler recently, and it seems pretty good for fighting!" Yun Shu hadn't given Xiao Yan those Medicinal Herbs for nothing.

If he didn't wring one or two weapon-based combat techniques out of Yao Lao this time, he absolutely wouldn't let these two leave...

"Hmm... Since you put it that way, I suppose it's time to teach you an Earth Rank combat technique!" Yao Lao didn't care that Yun Shu also had a Mystic Heavy Ruler. After all, these things were forged by people. They weren't some peerless treasure of which only one existed in the entire world.

"An Earth Rank combat technique!!" Xiao Yan and Yun Shu immediately stared at Yao Lao with shining eyes. Of course, Yun Shu was pretending. What was wrong with learning one more Earth Rank combat technique?

Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler was quite powerful. With it, Yun Shu would be able to use the Mystic Heavy Ruler to deal damage in the future.

"Teacher, I have a Mystic Heavy Ruler too. Can I learn it?" Xiao Yan asked expectantly. This was an Earth Rank combat technique, something that was probably rare even throughout the entire Gama Empire.

"Your strength isn't sufficient to use this move yet, but you may observe from the side. How much you can learn will depend on your own comprehension!" Yao Lao didn't refuse Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan was his disciple too, and he would need to learn this move eventually.

"No problem, Teacher!!" Xiao Yan said excitedly. Even if he could only watch, perhaps he could still learn some of the fighting methods of an Earth Rank combat technique.

"Hm? Someone's coming!" Yun Shu suddenly frowned. His Soul Perception detected someone approaching.

While in the Monster Mountain Range, Yun Shu didn't use Divine Sense to observe distant areas, because that would defeat the purpose of training. Soul Perception was different. Almost everyone with a powerful soul used it, so using it wasn't really cheating, even though its range wasn't very far.

"Don't worry. It isn't an enemy. It's that little girl from the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall!" Yao Lao's soul naturally detected the approaching person. Moreover, Xiao Yan had come here with Little Fairy Doctor, so Yao Lao recognized her immediately.

"Do we need to avoid her?" Xiao Yan didn't want to appear too extraordinary before strangers. A tree standing tall in the forest would be the first to be toppled by the wind—he understood that principle.

"There's no need. I know her. I'll go talk to her!" Yun Shu smiled faintly. He had met Little Fairy Doctor the last time he came to the Monster Mountain Range.

"I ran into her like this when I came to the Monster Mountain Range before too!" Seeing the surprised looks on Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's faces, Yun Shu spread his hands.

"I see..." The two raised their brows and wore strange, knowing smiles.

They had some understanding of Yun Shu's preferences. Men liking beautiful women was perfectly normal. If Xiao Yan weren't still burdened by the Three-Year Agreement, he would probably be the same...

Yun Shu extended his Divine Sense outward and soon saw Little Fairy Doctor slowly making her way in this direction. Since she was gathering Medicinal Herbs as she walked, she wasn't moving very quickly.

"We meet again..." Yun Shu leaned against a tree and spoke calmly as he watched Little Fairy Doctor, who had her back to him while picking a Medicinal Herb.

"Ah!!" Little Fairy Doctor jumped at the sudden voice behind her. She quickly turned around, then froze again when she saw Yun Shu's familiar face.

"It's you!!" Little Fairy Doctor said in surprise as she looked at Yun Shu.

"Don't tell me... you've been living in the Monster Mountain Range for more than a year now?!!!" Little Fairy Doctor pointed at Yun Shu and asked in shock.

"???"

"Of course not. I only came in yesterday. I didn't expect to run into you again so soon. We really are quite fated!" Yun Shu said with a smile.

"Who says I'm fated with you!" Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at him after hearing that.

"Oh, right, you're a physician, aren't you? I have something good to give you!" Yun Shu suddenly remembered that the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, which originally belonged to Little Fairy Doctor, was still in his possession.

"Wait! Don't come over!" Little Fairy Doctor suddenly stopped Yun Shu. Unsolicited kindness often hid sinister intentions. Yun Shu was being so warm toward her that there was no telling whether he had some scheme in mind.

Although she had met Yun Shu more than a year ago, when he had still been a shy little boy, she didn't know what he had experienced since then. Little Fairy Doctor felt that Yun Shu had changed.

That was why she felt a trace of wariness toward him.

"Fine, then I'll just throw it to you!" Yun Shu took the Seven-Colored Poison Manual from his Ring of Holding and tossed it toward Little Fairy Doctor from afar.

"What is... this?" Little Fairy Doctor didn't catch it, instead asking somewhat doubtfully.

"A book on poison-making. I'm not a physician, so I have no use for it. Since I feel like we're fated, I'll give it to you!" Yun Shu didn't move, merely leaning against the tree and smiling faintly.

Little Fairy Doctor frowned. When she heard that it was a book on poison-making, she was actually somewhat tempted. However, her caution still kept her from reaching for the poison manual.

Yun Shu was speechless at how cautious she was. It seemed he had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Don't come any closer!!" When Little Fairy Doctor saw Yun Shu move, she hurriedly held one hand behind her back. In it was medicinal powder capable of making a Dou Zhe lose their ability to fight.

"Did you see the scroll I left for you?" Yun Shu asked with a smile.

"What!! You were the one who left that scroll!!" Little Fairy Doctor was struck dumb by those words. That scroll had actually been left by the boy before her.

"Yes. Because I guessed that you would go there, I left a scroll in advance. But it looks like you saw it. This Seven-Colored Poison Manual was obtained from there!" Yun Shu smiled faintly.

"Wait!!" Little Fairy Doctor was momentarily overwhelmed and hurriedly spoke.

"We don't seem to know each other, do we? Why did you guess that I would go to that place?!" Little Fairy Doctor asked in confusion.

"Perhaps our hearts were in sync..." Yun Shu smiled faintly.
