Treasure Hunt, the Excited Little Fairy Doctor!

Treasure Hunt, the Excited Little Fairy Doctor!

Although Xiao Fan had saved Little Fairy Doctor once, she clearly seemed reluctant to let him know about the secret she had discovered.

When she saw Xiao Fan arrive, she became slightly nervous. It was only because she had deliberately shown him the Spiritual Medicine she had picked not long ago that she had let her guard down a little.

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor fall off the cliff, Xiao Fan shook his head slightly. With a flicker of his body, he flew toward where she had fallen, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, which was too slim to grasp fully, and carried her onto Xiao Jin's back.

"Whew!"

Once she stood steadily on Xiao Jin's back, Little Fairy Doctor raised a hand and patted her chest, slowly calming herself down.

Although her pet, Xiao Lan, was not far away and had a good chance of catching her before she fell to the bottom of the cliff—

That sensation of weightlessness while falling was still enough to make Little Fairy Doctor afraid.

Looking at the shaken Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Fan smiled. "It's just a cave. I noticed it the moment I came near you. Was there any need to deliberately hide it and nearly fall off the cliff because of it?"

At his words, Little Fairy Doctor's delicate brows furrowed, then relaxed again. "Fine. Since you found out, how are you going to deal with me?"

Xiao Fan shook his head slightly. "You're overthinking it. If I wanted to kill you and steal your treasure, I wouldn't have saved you just now. Let's take a look inside the cave first. Maybe there isn't anything particularly valuable in there."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Little Fairy Doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Little Fairy Doctor had never seen Xiao Fan make a move, the Magical Beast beneath him was extremely powerful.

If Xiao Fan harbored any ill intent, she would have no ability to resist at all.

It was not that Little Fairy Doctor was judging a gentleman's heart with her own petty suspicions. Possessing the Woeful Poison Body, she had drifted from place to place since childhood and had never experienced genuine warmth—whether familial love, friendship, or romance. This had made her extremely sensitive and cautious, wary of almost everyone.

In fact, Little Fairy Doctor's concern was not wrong at all. If the one who had discovered the cave had not been Little Fairy Doctor but some other adventurer, Xiao Fan might indeed have killed them and taken the treasure.

Xiao Fan brought Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Wu aboard Xiao Jin and flew directly to the cave entrance. Then he took Xiao Wu and Little Fairy Doctor down at the entrance.

As for Xiao Jin, he had it fly high into the sky for the time being.

Whoosh!

The moment the three landed, a sharp sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from the cave entrance.

Xiao Fan swept out with his Soul Power and easily recognized the attacker as a snake—a first-tier Magical Beast, a Rock Snake.

It seemed this Rock Snake had always lived in this cave.

With that thought, Xiao Fan casually sent out a streak of Dou Qi, instantly knocking the Rock Snake to the ground.

Sizzle!

After hitting the ground, the Rock Snake immediately lost all signs of life. Arcs of thunder emerged from its corpse, and in an instant, it was blasted into charcoal by the Thunder Arcs.

Watching Xiao Fan easily deal with the Rock Snake, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes flickered.

It seemed that even without that Magical Beast, he himself was very strong.

Xiao Wu had long known how powerful Xiao Fan was, so she was not surprised in the slightest.

"Let's go. Let's see what treasures are actually inside this cave," Xiao Fan said after casually dealing with the Rock Snake and using Dou Qi to clear the cave entrance.

Xiao Fan walked ahead with a tinderbox in hand, while the two women silently followed him deeper into the cave.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Fan noticed a stone door ahead that emitted a faint yellow glow.

"Let's search together and see if there's some kind of mechanism. I'm afraid that if I force it open, I might damage the treasures behind the stone door," Xiao Fan said after stopping, turning to the two women behind him.

When searching for treasure, he had to give them some sense of participation. He could not do everything himself.

"Judging from the pale yellow glow on the stone door, an earth-element mechanism technique should have been set up here. As long as we find the trick to it, opening the stone door shouldn't be difficult."

At Xiao Fan's words, Little Fairy Doctor carefully examined the stone door before her and murmured thoughtfully.

Xiao Fan gave Little Fairy Doctor a thumbs-up. "You know mechanism techniques? Not bad! Then hurry up and find the trick to opening it. If you can't, I'll have no choice but to break the door down by force."

Hearing Xiao Fan's praise, Little Fairy Doctor was quite pleased. She humbly said, "I've only read a few books on mechanism techniques. I wouldn't call myself proficient, but using what I know to inspect it shouldn't be a problem."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor reached out and touched the stone door with her small hand, then slowly moved it across the surface.

Xiao Wu also curiously examined the surroundings, hoping to discover something.

"Found it!"

Before long, Little Fairy Doctor cried out in delight. At the same time, she pressed her palm against a protrusion on the stone door. Amid a series of creaks, the stone door slowly rose, revealing a passage before the three of them.

"Impressive!" Xiao Fan gave her a thumbs-up and praised her, then added, "Follow behind me. Be careful in case there are more mechanisms or something."

With that, Xiao Fan took the lead and walked into the passage.

Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Wu followed behind Xiao Fan, silently watching his back as a faint warmth rose in their hearts.

There were naturally no mechanisms beyond the passage, nor was there any danger.

Not long after passing through the passage behind the stone door, the group of three entered a huge stone chamber.

Moonlight stones for illumination were embedded in the walls of the stone chamber. In the center of the chamber, a sinister skeleton sat upon a chair.

In front of the chair stood a rather wide and long bluestone platform. Three locked stone boxes were neatly arranged atop it.

In three of the corners of the stone chamber were piles of Gold Coins, while the last corner held a small flower bed planted with all kinds of Spiritual Medicine.

When Little Fairy Doctor saw the Spiritual Medicine in the flower bed, delight immediately appeared in her eyes. Excitedly, she began naming them one by one. "Purple Blue Leaf, White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Snow Lotus Seed..."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly. "This really is a treasure chamber. Looks like we came to the right place."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Little Fairy Doctor's joy could not help but fade somewhat. These things should have all been hers, but unfortunately, now...

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's expression, Xiao Fan found it rather amusing. "How about this? You discovered this cave abode first, so you get to choose half the items first. The rest will be mine. What do you think?"

At his words, Little Fairy Doctor felt a little better. "Then I'll accept your kindness."

Xiao Fan said, "Let's open those three boxes first. The things inside might be even more valuable than Spiritual Medicine."

Little Fairy Doctor, who had been about to gather the Spiritual Medicine, paused at Xiao Fan's words and looked toward the three stone boxes. "How do we open these stone boxes?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke from the side. "Look, there are three keys in that skeleton's palm."

Xiao Fan had actually noticed the keys as well. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, he stepped forward and took them, while also removing a small scroll lodged between the dry bones.

"What's this?"

Xiao Fan had not secretly taken the scroll like Xiao Yan would have, so Little Fairy Doctor saw it as well.

Xiao Fan opened the scroll and took a look, then shrugged slightly. "A fragment of a map."

As he spoke, Xiao Fan casually handed the map fragment to Little Fairy Doctor, then used the keys to open the three stone boxes.

Very soon, the three cultivation techniques within the stone boxes appeared before the trio.

Xiao Fan looked at Little Fairy Doctor and smiled faintly. "What are you planning to choose?"

In any case, Xiao Fan felt that Little Fairy Doctor would become one of his people sooner or later. Letting her have a little more was no big deal.
