Little Fairy Doctor's Crisis!
Although the timing differed from the Original Novel, and events had changed because of Xiao Fan's appearance, Little Fairy Doctor's assistant, Li Fei, still betrayed her just as she had in the Original Novel.
Not only did Yao Chuanshan, the owner of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, learn plenty about Little Fairy Doctor from Li Fei, but so did Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Little Fairy Doctor trusted Li Fei, her assistant, greatly. Though she had not told Li Fei about all the gains she and Xiao Fan had made, the bits and pieces she had inadvertently revealed were already enough to make Li Fei jealous.
As for Little Fairy Doctor's agreement with Xiao Fan to enter the Monster Mountain Range together to gather herbs for seven days, that was hardly a secret. Li Fei had easily found out through subtle probing.
Little Fairy Doctor had not paid much attention to it. After all, whenever she went out to gather herbs in the past, she would roughly mention how long she would be gone.
She had even occasionally given Li Fei a few benefits.
Compared to the share Xiao Fan had given her, though, it was truly only a tiny amount.
Yet Little Fairy Doctor had never imagined that Li Fei, the assistant she trusted most, would betray her for profit.
Li Fei had also played a part in connecting Yao Chuanshan with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
As the owner of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, Yao Chuanshan was an old fox himself.
Before making a move against Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Fan, Yao Chuanshan had sent people to investigate. From the mercenaries of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, his men learned that Xiao Fan had a Magical Beast mount of considerable strength.
Thus, out of caution, Yao Chuanshan planned to have the Wolf Head Mercenary Group deal with Xiao Fan while Ten Thousand Medicines Hall dealt with the weaker Little Fairy Doctor.
Before long, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group also received news that Little Fairy Doctor was about to leave Green Mountain Town.
Under normal circumstances, they naturally would not care whether Little Fairy Doctor left or not.
But things were different now. Mu Li had learned from Li Fei that not only were the Spiritual Medicines Little Fairy Doctor had obtained over the past few days extremely valuable, but she also seemed to have acquired a profound Dou Qi Technique from a cave before that.
How could they allow Little Fairy Doctor to take those things away?
"Father, let's go to the inn now and capture that brat surnamed Xiao. The Spiritual Medicines he has must be even more plentiful than Little Fairy Doctor's!"
At the Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters, Mu Li's face was filled with urgency after receiving the news as he spoke to his father, Mu She.
Mu She merely shook his head slightly. "No rush. Let's wait a little longer."
Mu Li asked in confusion, "Wait for what? If we wait until tomorrow, they'll have left Green Mountain Town."
Mu She smiled faintly. "You're still too young and impulsive. Do you think that old bastard Yao Chuanshan doesn't know that the one surnamed Xiao has more Spiritual Medicines on him? Why didn't he choose to make a move against Xiao himself, and instead have us deal with him?"
"Why?" Mu Li asked.
Mu She narrowed his eyes slightly. "Because Yao Chuanshan knows that the one surnamed Xiao isn't simple. Over the past two days, I also had our people investigate him. We did get some information from the Blood Battle Mercenary Group."
"More than ten days ago, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group escorted Little Fairy Doctor into the Monster Mountain Range to gather herbs. They were besieged by Gale Wind Wolves and nearly failed to return. That one surnamed Xiao saved them. Setting aside his own strength, his Magical Beast has at least the strength of a high-tier second rank, and it's even a flying Magical Beast!"
Mu Li was slightly stunned. "Then if that one surnamed Xiao escapes on his flying Magical Beast, won't we get nothing?"
Mu She shook his head. "Your thinking is still too shallow. That one surnamed Xiao will likely be difficult to handle, so we'll wait. Once Ten Thousand Medicines Hall has results, we'll call in that old bastard Yao Chuanshan's men as well, then deal with Xiao together."
Mu Li said with some dissatisfaction, "Father, you're being overly cautious!"
Mu She replied indifferently, "It's never wrong to be more careful."
The night deepened.
The bustling Green Mountain Town had also fallen into rare silence.
Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
After Li Fei left, Little Fairy Doctor sat in a daze for a while before going to bed. By now, she had already fallen asleep.
Little Fairy Doctor, who was deep in slumber, suddenly furrowed her brows before abruptly sitting up, a cold gleam flashing through her eyes.
She had sensed the presence of poison!
Ordinary people naturally could not sense poison while asleep, but Little Fairy Doctor possessed the Woeful Poison Body and was especially sensitive to poison.
Her body stimulated by the poison, Little Fairy Doctor quickly woke up completely.
Little Fairy Doctor straightened her clothes, then quietly moved behind the door and waited for the moment it opened!
"It should be about time, right? Half an hour has already passed. Little Fairy Doctor probably has no strength left to resist now!"
At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
It was Li Fei!
Hearing that voice, Little Fairy Doctor immediately recognized who it was, and a wave of pain rose in her heart.
She had thought Ten Thousand Medicines Hall was under attack by an outside enemy. She had never imagined that the person who had poisoned her would be Li Fei, whom she had trusted wholeheartedly!
"It is indeed about time. Go in, but remember not to harm Little Fairy Doctor's life!"
As Little Fairy Doctor was thinking this, she heard another familiar voice. It belonged to Yao Chuanshan, the owner of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
Creak!
Before Little Fairy Doctor could think further, the door gave a soft sound as someone opened it from outside.
Sensing someone enter, Little Fairy Doctor immediately waved her hand and scattered the poison powder she carried for self-defense.
"Not good, it's poison!"
A cry of alarm rang out, followed by a thud as two burly men heavily collapsed to the floor.
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head slightly, feeling some regret. The people she had poisoned were merely two ordinary guards of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
Outside the door, Yao Chuanshan chuckled. "Little Fairy Doctor, you really do have some tricks up your sleeve. It seems this old man's caution was not misplaced."
Yao Chuanshan knew that Little Fairy Doctor was a skilled physician. Medicine and poison had always gone hand in hand, so it was only normal for her to know some methods of using poison. That was why he had not entered the room personally.
Little Fairy Doctor said coldly, "Mister Yao, what is the meaning of this? Why have you plotted against me?"
Yao Chuanshan laughed. "As the saying goes, wealth moves the heart. And what you obtained is no ordinary wealth. Hand over the precious Spiritual Medicines you have gathered these past days, along with the technique you obtained from that cave in the Monster Mountain Range, and you will still be an honored guest of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall in the future."
Little Fairy Doctor said, "Fine. Mister Yao, come in and take them."
Yao Chuanshan shook his head slightly. "Little Fairy Doctor, do you take this old man for a fool? How about this? I'll have Li Fei go in and tie you to a chair. Do not resist, and then this old man will enter."
A cold glint flashed through Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. "Fine. Let her come in."
Outside the door, Li Fei's expression changed drastically. "Mister Yao, I... can I not go in? Little Fairy Doctor must hate me to death now. If I go in, she'll definitely poison me."
Yao Chuanshan's face darkened. "Didn't you say you were utterly loyal to this old man? What, you won't even listen to this old man now? Are you planning to defect to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group? Either you go in yourself, or else..."
Yao Chuanshan did not finish his sentence, but Li Fei already understood what he meant. Trembling, she could only say, "I... I'll go in."
Then, Li Fei cautiously said into the room, "Little Fairy Doctor, I'm coming in. Please don't poison me. I was only following orders."
As she spoke, Li Fei carefully entered the room.
The moment Li Fei entered, Yao Chuanshan immediately signaled to the guards behind him, indicating that they should follow her inside.
Little Fairy Doctor wished Li Fei dead at once. How could she possibly refrain from poisoning her?
The instant Li Fei entered the room, Little Fairy Doctor scattered a handful of poison powder over her.
"Ah! It hurts, it itches! Little Fairy Doctor, please spare me!"
Li Fei cried out in agony while continuously clawing at her face with both hands. Before long, she had scratched herself until her face was covered in blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, several attacks shot through the doorway at Little Fairy Doctor simultaneously!
