Seeing Little Fairy Doctor Again

"Hey, hey... Have you heard? A few months ago, Little Fairy Doctor found treasures left behind by someone in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. They say there was even a Profound Rank Cultivation Method inside!"

"A Profound Rank Cultivation Method? Is that real? No way."

"I don't know either. The news came from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Now, it's not just the Wolf Head Mercenary Group who wants that Profound Rank Cultivation Method—even the master of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion wants it."

"Then Little Fairy Doctor's situation doesn't look too good. Should we go help her? After all, she's helped us plenty in the past."

"The master of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion and Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, are both Da Dou Shi-level experts. If you want to die, then go ahead..."

On the cliff, Xiao Se frowned as he listened to the discussion drawing nearer from below. So Little Fairy Doctor was still discovered after all.

"Brother, are you planning to save Little Fairy Doctor?" Long Kui's light, graceful voice suddenly rang out beside Xiao Se's ear from within the Demon Sword.

Xiao Se nodded slightly and replied, "You could say we've met before."

Long Kui smiled sweetly. "Then go, Brother. With your current strength, there shouldn't be anything in Green Mountain Town that can threaten you anymore."

"I thought you'd try to stop me." Xiao Se smiled faintly, somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, Long Kui can tell that Brother treats that Little Fairy Doctor very differently. I think Brother must have known Little Fairy Doctor for a long time, right?" From the first moment she saw Little Fairy Doctor, Long Kui had noticed that Xiao Se treated her differently from other girls. He had even willingly shared the treasures in the cave that he had worked so hard to find. Though those things were useless to him, that alone was something he had never done for any other girl.

Xiao Se nodded lightly at Long Kui's question without denying it.

Indeed, he had known Little Fairy Doctor in his previous life.

After silently plucking the Blood Lotus Fruit, Xiao Se did not make contact with the mercenaries. He headed straight toward Green Mountain Town on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Returning to the town once more, Xiao Se listened to the bustling noise of people coming and going around him and shook his head with some emotion. Come to think of it, he had spent several months in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Perhaps because humans were social creatures, returning to human society now gave him an indescribable sense of comfort.

Without lingering over the town's bustle, Xiao Se turned through several streets and followed the route in his memory to the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion once again. At this moment, the pavilion, which had not originally had many guards, had added quite a few more. Every entrance and exit, inside and outside, was guarded by at least two men.

Looking at those guards, Xiao Se frowned. His top priority was finding Little Fairy Doctor, and he could not alert the pavilion master of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion. Otherwise, if he got tied down and Little Fairy Doctor left on her own, the loss would outweigh the gain.

He immediately activated the Aura Concealing Art, hiding all traces of his presence. Carefully making his way to the wall behind the manor's herb garden, he climbed over it and silently slipped into the manor.

Avoiding the guards' notice, he followed Xiao Yan's example from the original story and casually grabbed a maid, covering her mouth as he threatened in a low voice, "Where is Little Fairy Doctor? Tell me now. If you refuse to talk or dare make a sound, I'll strip you naked and throw you outside."

"Mmm..." Threatened by Xiao Se with her mouth covered, the maid shed tears in terror. After a long moment, she nodded lightly and raised a hand to point out the route to Little Fairy Doctor's room.

After learning Little Fairy Doctor's location, Xiao Se knocked the maid unconscious with a chop to the neck, then hid her in a secluded corner before carefully making his way toward Little Fairy Doctor's room.

Before long, after evading several guards on patrol, Xiao Se arrived at a quiet room beside a lake. Aside from the lake behind it, guards stood watch at the room's doors and windows. Left with no choice, Xiao Se slipped into the lake behind the room, used the Ethereal Smoke Step, and carefully darted through an open window into the room.

The moment he entered, Xiao Se noticed a strange medicinal fragrance rushing toward him. The scent was very familiar—it was the same knockout drug Little Fairy Doctor had used before.

His figure flashed as he unleashed the second layer of the Ethereal Smoke Step. Xiao Se instantly appeared behind his attacker, covered her mouth, and made a silencing gesture. "Shh, Little Fairy Doctor. It's me."

Hearing Xiao Se's familiar voice, Little Fairy Doctor froze slightly before nodding.

Seeing her nod, Xiao Se slowly released her lips.

"You're Xiao Se?" After turning around and taking several steps back, Little Fairy Doctor stared Xiao Se up and down in shock for a moment before asking tentatively.

Xiao Se rolled his eyes at her. "Who else would it be?"

"Where's your mask? And how did you grow so tall after just a few months apart?" After receiving Xiao Se's confirmation, Little Fairy Doctor finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking up at him in astonishment, she fired off several questions at once.

"I'm still growing. Isn't it normal to grow quickly?" Xiao Se tugged at the corner of his mouth and answered vaguely. He could hardly tell her that he had grown so much in such a short time by taking advantage of Dai Mubai's soul power.

Upon hearing that, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood. "No wonder I almost didn't recognize you."

With a light chuckle, Xiao Se walked to the table, crossed one leg over the other, and sat down. Smiling, he said, "So, what do you think? I'm a pretty good friend, right? The moment I heard you were in danger, I came to save you. Yet you turned around and ambushed me."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled, brushing aside the hair before her forehead as she said helplessly, "I had no choice. This little woman isn't strong enough. When I suddenly saw a strange man burst into my room, I could only use such unconventional methods to protect myself."

"Alright, alright. You're weak? Below Da Dou Shi, how many people could still stand after being touched by your poison?" Xiao Se waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, how were you discovered out of nowhere? Don't tell me you still couldn't resist telling someone about the cave?"

At those words, the smile on Little Fairy Doctor's face gradually faded. She shook her head lightly and sighed. "I'm not that foolish. It was Mu Li of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He had always wanted to pursue me, and after I rejected him, he bribed my personal maid. The maid secretly entered my room and saw that many precious medicinal ingredients had suddenly appeared, so she told Mu Li. Mu Li then spread rumors everywhere that I had found a cave dwelling left behind by someone long ago. He said it contained not only all kinds of precious herbs, but also a Profound Rank Cultivation Method. The master of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion believed it too."

At the end, Little Fairy Doctor gave a cold laugh. "Heh, he just wants to make it impossible for me to remain in Green Mountain Town, so I'll throw myself into his arms. How laughable."

"So you hid in the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, using their medicinal ingredients to study the poisons in the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, and planned to leave after a while?" Xiao Se asked with a smile.

"Not entirely." Little Fairy Doctor shook her head. A gentle smile appeared on her upturned face as she said, "I was also waiting for you to come save me."

"Then let's go." Xiao Se smiled and said no more. His cultivation had already broken through to the ninth star of Dou Zhe. With the Crimson Flame Sword, the Ethereal Smoke Step, and Mad Lion's Roar, he did not fear even a Da Dou Shi.

Even if he encountered an opponent far beyond his ability to defeat, Xiao Se could use the Demon Sword to kill them across ranks. And if that still was not enough, Long Kui was his final safeguard.
