"Mm, Xian'er Boss, go ahead." Jiang Lin, who had the agile Blue Eagle pinned down with his heavy sword until it could barely breathe, turned to look at the sulking Xiao Yi Xian.

A saying suddenly flashed through Jiang Lin's mind: When you were weak enough, even your anger looked cute to others.

Mm. By that logic, if you were strong enough, even if you called me Iron Turtle, I, Jiang, would be magnanimous enough to let it slide this time.

Xiao Yi Xian gave Jiang Lin a resentful look for a while before saying, "The Purple Leaf Grass here should be the herb this Blue Eagle wanted to use to save itself and neutralize the poison."

Many animals without supernatural powers instinctively knew how to seek medicinal herbs, much less Magical Beasts with greater intellectual potential.

"We picked the herb it needed to survive. Before things turn into a life-or-death conflict between us, as a healer, I hope we can spare its life. If..." As Xiao Yi Xian spoke, her head gradually lowered, and her voice weakened considerably.

"If you want its Magic Core... could I... could I pay to make up for everyone's losses myself?" Xiao Yi Xian's voice grew softer and softer, and her head sank lower and lower. She felt that her request was somewhat excessive. If it had been an ordinary Magical Beast and a life-or-death conflict had broken out between them, she would have had no complaints.

But she had picked the Purple Leaf Grass here that could detoxify the Blue Eagle, and then she was supposed to watch it be killed. She found that difficult to accept.

It was like accepting someone else's cause, then watching them die right before your eyes. Xiao Yi Xian truly could not do it.

But who stood before her?

A group of cold-blooded, heartless mercenaries!

"Xiao Yi Xian is right. Unless necessary, we wouldn't clash with Magical Beasts in the Monster Mountain Range either. We only planned to kill it for its core because a Blue Eagle suffering injuries this severe in the Monster Mountain Range would basically have no chance of surviving without outside treatment," one of the mercenaries said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah! Don't be nervous, Xiao Yi Xian. Mercenaries have honor too. Everyone remembers the kindness you've shown us. It's only a First-Order Magic Core worth a few hundred gold coins. No need, no need." Most of the mercenaries smiled kindly at Xiao Yi Xian. Even those who said nothing showed no signs of opposition in their eyes.

Hmph! Cold-blooded mercenaries! In the end, they had still fallen before false morality!

Foolish Xiao Yi Xian! Now, face that man! Kindness could not put food on the table! Only true cruelty would let you live well!

Please welcome our protagonist: a staunch believer in happy, harmonious, reunited families; a merciful soul who could not bear to see people suffer from illness and injury, and who vowed to transcend such suffering! Jiang! Lin!

"If you want to examine its injuries, then come over. Otherwise, why am I holding it down here?" Jiang Lin held the basket of herbs in one hand and pinned the Blue Eagle down with his heavy sword in the other. He looked strangely at the blank-faced Xiao Yi Xian, his gaze seemingly asking, What are you spacing out for? What are you talking about? What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and check its injuries!

"Y-you..." The mercenaries' kindness made Xiao Yi Xian's heart feel warm.

But that man's kindness left Xiao Yi Xian's mind completely blank.

Th-this was still the Jiang Lin she knew? The one who killed wolf parents to make shoes, killed wolf cubs to make slippers, who would ramble endlessly when he could avoid fighting, but never ramble when he could fight?

"What? Do you really think I'm that cruel, cold-blooded, and emotionless?" The moment he said that, the surrounding mercenaries burst into laughter. Jiang Lin could not help rolling his eyes at the dazed Xiao Yixian. "What nonsense are you thinking? If I hadn't killed those two Wind Wolves, we wouldn't have been able to leave. Wolf cubs are Magical Beasts and need meat. The Thousand Medicine House barely had any scraps of meat to begin with, so it couldn't afford to raise them. Besides, that kind of plot where you kill someone's parents and raise their children is bound to backfire, okay?"

Mr. Yao: ???

Those cunning Howling Moon Wind Wolves were so fast. Once Jiang Lin exposed his weaknesses in speed and endurance, he would have been pried open like a can by two Second-Order Magical Beasts!

As for the wolf cubs turned into fur slippers, what if they were protagonists? Orphan buff, twin buff, future Wolf Venerable, Wolf Saint, Wolf Emperor—every factor had led the compassionate Benefactor Jiang to choose to reunite their family. After all, the wolf cubs would surely miss their parents terribly if they were left all alone in the world. Mm, yes, that was it! This was a good deed that earned merit!

"Oh, oh." Xiao Yi Xian still looked Jiang Lin over skeptically. She stepped forward, accepted the basket of herbs he handed her, and approached the tense Blue Eagle, which did not dare move with its head pinned beneath the heavy sword.

She could happily accept the cute fur slippers Jiang Lin gave her because they were his gift to her. She could not interfere, nor did she have any reason to. Xiao Yi Xian would only do what was within her ability—for instance, treating the Blue Eagle's injuries before it took the initiative to cause conflict with them. If the Blue Eagle actively established its "unlimited right to self-defense" against the mercenaries, Xiao Yi Xian would say nothing. She might even shout, "Little Linzi, hurry and use Flame Fist!"

"This is... Rock Snake poison. With a Blue Eagle's constitution, applying ointment made from Purple Leaf Grass should detoxify it after a night's sleep. But the injuries from its fall may take another day or two to heal." Xiao Yi Xian quickly assessed the Blue Eagle's condition, then took out two Purple Leaf Grass plants and combined them with other herbs to make two portions of medicine on the spot, one for internal use and one for external application.

Xiao Yi Xian first cleaned the Blue Eagle's wounds, then applied the ointment to its claws and wrapped them in gauze.

"This... will help you recover a little faster." Xiao Yi Xian explained to the emotionally stable Blue Eagle, regardless of whether it could understand her.

Coo, coo. The Blue Eagle cooed softly twice, then actually nodded its head.

Seeing how intelligent the Blue Eagle was, Jiang Lin could not resist reaching out to ruffle its head. "Why does this eagle keep going coo coo coo? That's so weird."

Coo! The Blue Eagle shook off Jiang Lin's hand and let out a loud coo, displaying its unyielding pride.

A great eagle was born between heaven and earth. How could it suffer the humiliation of a ground chicken?

Clang!

Battle qi surged into the blade, instantly activating the Flame Burst Armor-Slaying Sword and forming a layer of golden qi around its edge!

"Coo coo."

An eagle under the eaves had no choice but to bow its head. Humble origins were no disgrace! Only one who could bend and stretch was a true eagle!

"Hey, stop teasing it." Xiao Yi Xian shot a glare at the mischievous Jiang Lin beside her, then placed several herbs before the Blue Eagle's beak. "Magical Beasts have strong constitutions, so you can just eat these directly. Find somewhere to hide for a day or two, and you'll be able to fly again."

"Coo coo!" Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's voice, the Blue Eagle immediately nodded and even took the initiative to rub against her.

It had discovered that among this group, this honorable, beautiful, gentle, and adorable young lady possessed a captivating charm that none of the other monkeys could compare to.
