Green Mountain Town, Little Fairy Doctor

The blazing sun scorched the earth, its searing heat baking the soil until it cracked. Walking over the hard, burning ground, waves of heat surged up from beneath one's feet. From time to time, someone cursed this damn weather.

"Finally, I'm here."

Beneath a low city wall, an elderly man dressed in green gauze robes sat atop a Yellow Horse. At the city gate, he looked up at the three words written on the wall: Green Mountain Town.

Although Green Mountain Town before him was merely a small town, its proximity to the Monster Beast Mountain Range meant that foolish magical beasts occasionally passed through it. Oh, and there was also the possibility of a Beast Tide. Because of this, the town was surrounded by a ring of walls.

The walls were not tall, only about the height of a person. Any human with even a little skill could easily vault over them and enter the town. Such low walls could probably only defend against the low-level magical beasts from the Demon Beast Forest.

The largest group of people in Green Mountain Town were mercenaries who lived every day with their lives on the line.

After entering the town, Xiao Han saw mercenaries gathered in groups, brazenly discussing the magical beasts they had encountered, whose wine was the strongest, and where the women had the most flavor.

Leading the Yellow Horse, Xiao Han's gaze swept past one shop after another. Finally, his steps stopped before the entrance of an herb shop called Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

According to the storyline, Little Fairy Doctor had first met the protagonist, Xiao Han, at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall herb shop.

There was still one year before the protagonist Xiao Yan arrived here. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Han wanted to seize some of the protagonist's fortuitous opportunities—walk the protagonist's path and leave him with nowhere to go.

Of course, the reason he had resolved to venture out and gain experience was also to improve his cultivation and obtain more Energy Points.

At present, Xiao Han was only a Three-Star Dou Zhe. His Energy Points were pitifully low, only 1.22. He had already received an answer from the system: traveling to other planes required 100 Energy Points. Yet now, Xiao Han had only acquired one percent of that amount.

"Sir, looking to buy something? Our herb shop has top-quality healing medicine!"

At the entrance of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, a young man greeted Xiao Han warmly.

"Healing medicine?"

Xiao Han shook his head slightly. Naturally, he knew that the so-called healing medicine was nothing more than a hollow name.

"I'm just looking around."

Xiao Han's gaze swept across the transparent counter. Finally, in a corner, a pale yellow lump caught his attention.

"Ahem."

Xiao Han forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, pointed at the item in the display case, and instructed, "Brother, please take that item out for me."

The young man did as asked, taking out the item Xiao Han had indicated. He asked, "Sir, are you buying this?"

Xiao Han did not answer immediately. His fingernail quietly scraped across its surface, and beneath the slightly yellowed exterior, a patch of crimson as red as blood was revealed.

Haha, this thing was actually already here!

Xiao Han was ecstatic, though he forcefully suppressed his excitement. He naturally knew that the item before him was no ordinary thing, but the relatively rare Blood Lotus Essence.

That was right. This piece of Blood Lotus Essence was one of the fortuitous opportunities Xiao Yan would obtain when he came here in the future. If Xiao Han wanted to subdue the Green Lotus Core Flame, he would also need the Blood Lotus Essence to approach the Heavenly Flame.

More importantly, obtaining this Blood Lotus Essence would also grant him an Experience Points reward.

"How much?" Xiao Han asked as calmly as possible.

"Not expensive. Yellow Lotus Essence, a low-grade herb—just one hundred Gold Coins." The young man revealed a professional smile. Anyone buying medicinal herbs was either an alchemist, an alchemist's student, or a poison master. No matter which one they were, they were worth greeting with a smile.

"Here." Xiao Han spent one hundred Points through the system to exchange for a small bag of Gold Coins, then handed it to the young man.

"Ding!"

The moment Xiao Han accepted the Yellow Lotus Essence, the system's voice finally rang out.

"Congratulations. You obtained the Yellow Lotus Essence from Ten Thousand Medicines Hall and seized the protagonist Xiao Han's fortuitous opportunity. Reward: 45 Experience Points."

"System, why did I only get forty-five Experience Points as a reward?" Xiao Han asked skeptically.

"Ding!"

"The system reports to the host: the host merely obtained Blood Lotus Essence. Blood Lotus Essence is only a low-grade medicinal herb. The amount of Experience Points gained from seizing the protagonist's fortuitous opportunities is related to the level of those opportunities. After a series of calculations, the system has awarded forty-five Experience Points."

"Sir, would you like to see if there's anything else you need?" The young man greeted him eagerly. In his understanding, no matter which of the above types Xiao Han belonged to, he definitely would not need just one herb. "Take a look. Our Ten Thousand Medicines Hall is a famous herb shop in Green Mountain Town. Some of our items have even been appraised by Little Fairy Doctor!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

A trace of admiration appeared on the young man's face.

"Then... where is she?" Xiao Han had originally been worried that, having arrived a year early, he might not encounter Little Fairy Doctor. Now, it seemed that concern had been completely unnecessary.

"Look, here she comes." The young man pointed toward the street outside the shop.

Following his gesture, Xiao Han looked over and saw a young girl dressed in pale white robes slowly making her way toward the shop, surrounded by several people.

The girl's appearance could not be called devastatingly beautiful, but her delicate features still made her a rare beauty. Especially the approachable smile that always hung on her face—complemented by her pale white dress, it fully displayed her fresh and refined temperament. She seemed like an angel that had fallen into the mortal world.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So this is the legendary Little Fairy Doctor? That fool wasn't wrong at all—her waist is so thin. I really want to touch it!"

"Are you looking to die? Little Fairy Doctor has a high reputation among the mercenaries. Many mercenaries have been treated by her; she has even saved their lives. If you dare disrespect Little Fairy Doctor like that, you probably won't even know how you died."

A man who seemed to have only recently arrived carelessly spoke those words. When he warily looked around, he immediately felt the hostile stares of the surrounding mercenaries.

"Hehe..." The man quickly tried to smooth things over. Scratching his head, he gave a foolish laugh. "I was only saying it. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Hehe... hehe..."

Hearing that mercenary's words, Xiao Han smiled faintly. In his heart, he had to admit that among all the goddesses he had seen in his previous life, none had a waist as slender as Little Fairy Doctor's.

"So this is Little Fairy Doctor? That slender waist truly is unmatched!" Xiao Han's gaze fell upon the girl's willow-like waist, and he could not help but praise her.

In Battle Through the Heavens, Xun Er was the most captivating, possessing flawless beauty and an air of mystery. Ya Fei was the most seductive; with her mature nature, she knew precisely what constituted temptation. It was said that Xiao Yu had the longest legs, though Xiao Han had yet to see those slender legs for himself. As for the Little Fairy Doctor before him, she was the woman with the most slender waist in Battle Through the Heavens.
