Well... Let's Go Together Then

That thing grew at the edge of the cliff, blooming with pale white flowers. Within those blossoms, a crimson-red fruit could faintly be seen.

With God's Perspective, Xiao Han knew that a year later, Xiao Yan would come to Green Mountain Town and join Little Fairy Doctor's herb-gathering party.

While Xiao Yan was on his way into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, he would happen upon the cliff's edge and discover a White Orchid Fruit.

When the protagonist, Xiao Yan, tried to pick the White Orchid Fruit, he happened to encounter Little Fairy Doctor climbing up from below the cliff. Afterwards, under Yao Lao's guidance, he learned that there was a cave beneath the cliff. In the end, under the protagonist Xiao Yan's coercion, Little Fairy Doctor was forced to enter the cave with him to search for treasure.

Now that Xiao Han had arrived a year early, one thing was certain: Little Fairy Doctor must have encountered the Beast Tide as well.

Having found where the White Orchid Fruit grew, Xiao Han still could not be certain whether there was a cave below.

"You know medicinal herbs too?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Han in astonishment.

"Mm, I've read a few books on medicinal ingredients." Xiao Han answered casually. Standing at the cliff's edge, he looked down at the abyss below.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Han's actions gave Little Fairy Doctor quite a fright. She instinctively grabbed him with one hand and, somehow finding the strength, forcibly pulled him back.

"I'm checking whether there's a cave beneath the cliff. The books say that people who survive great disasters generally find hidden caves at the bottom of cliffs, obtain peerless treasures, rise to power, and become unrivaled experts who command the winds and clouds." Xiao Han spoke with a perfectly straight face.

"Uh..."

Little Fairy Doctor stared at Xiao Han, speechless. After a while, she burst into giggles. "Hehe, you're so funny. You actually believe the stories in books? Those are just lies for children."

Xiao Han looked straight at Little Fairy Doctor. Her eyes told him she was not lying. At present, she had yet to find that treasure-filled cave.

When Xiao Han said those words, there had not been the slightest abnormality in her gaze.

"All right."

A crafty glint flashed through Little Fairy Doctor's eyes as she added, "Consider that repayment for the favor you did me. If it hadn't been for me just now, you might have fallen off the cliff. From now on, I don't owe you anything."

"Uh..."

Xiao Han clicked his tongue inwardly and stared at Little Fairy Doctor without a word.

Suddenly, a glimmer at the cliff caught the corner of Xiao Han's eye. He immediately smiled. "I'm afraid that's not up to you. Very soon, you'll owe me another huge favor."

"Is that so?" Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly and spread her hands. "Sorry, but I don't have anything I need your help with."

"Is that so? Look over there!" Xiao Han smiled and pointed in a direction.

"What is it?" Little Fairy Doctor sounded somewhat impatient. Following the direction of Xiao Han's finger, her eyes widened in astonishment.

Under the sunlight, a pitch-black cave could faintly be seen in a section of cliff covered in vines.

"No way, there really is a cave beneath the cliff?" Little Fairy Doctor was secretly delighted, her heart stirring with a small thrill. That cave was no ordinary cave. At its entrance were broken pieces of wood bearing traces of human handiwork, clearly placed there by someone trying to conceal the cave.

At that moment, the books she had read surfaced in Little Fairy Doctor's mind. Could it be that the cave truly contained an inheritance left behind by some senior expert?

"Come on, let's go take a look together!" Xiao Han invited her sincerely.

"You mean you'll split the treasures inside with me?" Though Little Fairy Doctor was somewhat excited, a trace of wariness still flashed through her eyes.

"Yes." Xiao Han nodded.

"But why? If I'm counting correctly, today seems to be our first meeting, isn't it?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Han curiously.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Xiao Han asked.

"What?"

"If I said I fell in love with you at first sight, would you believe me?" Xiao Han gazed steadily at Little Fairy Doctor without the slightest wavering.

"Tch!" Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at Xiao Han irritably.

"I'm serious. You've saved countless people, and your heart is pure. My instincts tell me that you're definitely a friend worth risking my life for." Xiao Han looked at Little Fairy Doctor with utter sincerity.

With God's Perspective, Xiao Han knew that Little Fairy Doctor truly was that kind of person. For the sake of her friends, she dared to risk her life.

Little Fairy Doctor gazed at Xiao Han. After a long while, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes, as though she had thought of something. Turning away, she said, "Save those words for fooling other girls. I'm not interested in that cave. If you want to court death, I won't stop you."

Born with the Body of Doom Poison, even if there was something in the cave, it might not necessarily be useful to Little Fairy Doctor. Therefore, she was not particularly interested in the treasure within.

More importantly, Xiao Han's eyes told her that he seemed to be serious. As a poison master, Little Fairy Doctor instinctively wanted to keep her distance from him.

For no other reason than that she did not want to hurt Xiao Han. After all, he had just saved her life.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Han asked.

"To find the herb-gathering party." Without looking back, Little Fairy Doctor continued walking forward.

"The herb-gathering party was scattered by the stampede. How are you going to find them alone? What if you don't find them, but instead run into a magical beast called a HeYuan? What then?"

"Uh..."

Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body stiffened, and her face turned pale. Clearly, the words HeYuan had frightened her badly.

Little Fairy Doctor frequently traveled in and out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and regularly treated mercenaries, so naturally she had heard of this kind of magical beast from them.

HeYuan was a low-level magical beast that lived in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. It usually enjoyed doing that unspeakable thing the most. What terrified countless men and women was that they also had no small interest in humans.

"I... I'd better go with you!"

Little Fairy Doctor was truly frightened. She turned and walked toward Xiao Han. Once she reached his side, she saw the teasing smile at the corner of his lips and froze briefly. Realizing that Xiao Han had tricked her, she lightly bit her red lips, glared at him, and cursed, "Uh... you bastard! You actually scared me!"

"I didn't scare you. If you want to leave, I won't stop you." Xiao Han smiled.

"All right."

Little Fairy Doctor clearly did not want to dwell on the subject. Standing at the edge of the cliff, she looked down at the cave below and asked, "Now we need to figure out how to get down there!"

"Simple."

Xiao Han smiled faintly, walked to the cliff's edge, and tore down several vines. He then twisted them together and tied one end around the trunk of a large tree near the cliff. After tugging hard to test the vines' toughness, he smiled at Little Fairy Doctor. "It's ready. It can hold the weight of two people. Want to go down together?"

"No. You go first," Little Fairy Doctor refused.

"Really? This is the Demon Beast Forest. I can't guarantee that, after I go down, a demon beast won't suddenly jump out. Or perhaps HeYuan!" Xiao Han looked at Little Fairy Doctor teasingly, a slight smile on his face.

"Shut up!"

Little Fairy Doctor walked to the cliff's edge and said, "Then I'll go down first."

"Sure."

Xiao Han nodded, then added, "But let's make this clear first. If there's some demon beast in the cave below and it suddenly attacks you, you can't blame me."

"Uh..."

Little Fairy Doctor glared at Xiao Han, a profound sense of helplessness rising within her. It seemed Xiao Han had her completely cornered.

Helplessly, Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed faintly. She walked over to Xiao Han's side and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Then... let's go together."
