Mr. Yao!

Ning Luo followed behind Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian wore a white dress.

Her slender waist swayed before him.

She looked gently at the people of Qingshan Town and raised her voice. "Everyone, rest assured. I'll do my best to develop a medicine and cure your illness!"

Ning Luo looked at the girl before him. Though her entire body was poisonous and she possessed the Poison Body of Calamity, her heart was kind.

Ning Luo looked at the townspeople afflicted by the plague and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

No, they had not caught a plague—they had been poisoned! Ning Luo was practically a Second Grade Alchemist and could also be considered a physician, so he could tell at a glance that these people had not suffered a plague, but had been poisoned.

Someone had poisoned them! However, this poison had been disguised as a plague. Xiao Yi Xian would never be able to cure them using methods for treating a plague! At that moment, someone entered the crowd, and a middle-aged man's voice rang out. "Hehe, Xiao Yi Xian, you're back?"

Though his words sounded like a question, the moment he finished speaking, his forceful manner made it sound more like an order. His expression then shifted slightly as his gaze settled on Ning Luo. Frowning, he waved his hand, and the four guards behind him filed in, surrounding Xiao Yi Xian and Ning Luo.

"Xiao Yi Xian, who is this?" The middle-aged man swept his gaze toward Xiao Yi Xian, who had lowered her head and was busy packing her things, then asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Ning Luo." Ning Luo glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, then smiled.

"Ning Luo?" The middle-aged man froze for a moment before asking coldly, "Brother Ning Luo, why are you with Xiao Yi Xian?"

Xiao Yi Xian quickly interjected, "Mr. Yao, he's my savior. I encountered a Second-tier Magical Beast while gathering herbs in the Monster Mountain Range, and he saved me!"

"Oh, then I really must thank you, Brother Ning Luo!" Though the middle-aged man said thanks, his face showed no warmth at all. He was clearly a shrewd old fox.

"I merely helped someone in need. No need to be so polite," Ning Luo said.

The middle-aged man's cheek twitched slightly as he smiled. "Meeting is fate. Since you saved Xiao Yi Xian and have come to our Myriad Medicine Pavilion, you should naturally stay a while longer. What I enjoy most is making friends with young men like you."

Ning Luo knew that Mr. Yao was no good person. Though he had been supporting Xiao Yi Xian, what he coveted was her medical skill.

Xiao Yi Xian had already made a great deal of money for him with her medical skills.

This Myriad Medicine Pavilion had flourished precisely because of Xiao Yi Xian.

Ning Luo smiled faintly. "Then thank you, Mr. Yao."

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian pinched Ning Luo, as if reminding him of something, but Ning Luo did not care in the slightest.

The reason Ning Luo had stayed was Xiao Yi Xian.

He knew Mr. Yao was a pervert. How could he possibly feel at ease leaving Xiao Yi Xian with someone like that?

At that moment, a crafty smile appeared on Mr. Yao's face as he looked at Ning Luo and said, "Very well, little brother. You'll stay at our Myriad Medicine Pavilion tonight!"

"Alright!"

Mr. Yao arranged lodging for Ning Luo. Then he summoned several guards, a sinister smile appearing on his face. "Judging by that brat's clothes, he's obviously a fat sheep!"

"What do you mean, Mr. Yao?" a guard asked.

"Hehehe, since he's a fat sheep, how could we possibly not slaughter him? Make your preparations!" Mr. Yao revealed an evil smile.

"Yes!" the guards replied at once.

Night fell.

The moonlight was enchanting.

Ning Luo was settled in a guest room.

At that moment, Ning Luo suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Ning Luo opened it.

A figure in white stood outside. She quietly looked around, then immediately shut the door.

Ning Luo was utterly shocked.

Why had Xiao Yi Xian come to his room in the middle of the night?

Could it be that she wanted to repay his kindness by giving herself to him? Xiao Yi Xian had secretly slipped into Ning Luo's room.

"Ning Luo, leave quickly. Mr. Yao and the others may mean you harm!" Xiao Yi Xian grabbed Ning Luo's hand.

Ding! Holding hands with the Goddess Xiao Yi Xian. Obtained one sign-in opportunity.

Xiao Yi Xian pulled Ning Luo's hand and was about to head outside.

"What's wrong?" Ning Luo asked as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian.

"Mr. Yao has already set his sights on you. If you don't leave, he'll definitely make a move against you," Xiao Yi Xian said at once.

With that, Xiao Yi Xian immediately pulled Ning Luo away.

Ning Luo gave a light tug, and Xiao Yi Xian was instantly pulled into his arms.

Xiao Yi Xian was immediately startled.

Her heart pounded wildly.

Ning Luo looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked, "What will you do if I leave? I imagine Mr. Yao won't let you off easily either, will he?"

In Ning Luo's arms, Xiao Yi Xian's face instantly flushed crimson.

"I-I'm still useful to Mr. Yao, and my constitution is poisonous. Mr. Yao wouldn't dare do anything to me either, so..."

Ning Luo lowered his head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and smiled. "Don't worry. I don't even put someone like Mr. Yao in my eyes.

"Besides, do you know something? The people in your town do not have a plague."

"Not a plague?" Xiao Yi Xian was instantly shocked.

Ning Luo continued, "It isn't a plague. It's a kind of poison. Every one of them has been poisoned!"

At those words, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes filled with utter shock.
