Sunlight shone on Little Spirit's face. She groggily opened her eyes, and the familiar face from her dreams appeared before her.
Looking at Little Doctor Immortal, who was right beside her, Little Spirit's face flushed slightly. Her wine-red eyes stared intently at the sleeping Little Doctor Immortal.
Outside, Xiao Yan had reached the peak of the fourth stage of Fighting Qi after a night of cultivation. He was confident that he could break through to the fifth stage of Fighting Qi in a while longer. He believed that returning to his peak would be just around the corner.
Medicine Elder watched the rising sun from the rooftop, smiling as he sensed Xiao Yan's aura. As for Little Doctor Immortal beside him, he couldn't say much.
After all, she was an ally, not an enemy. They were all on the same side; their survival depended on this brat.
"Calamity Poison Body?"
Medicine Elder murmured softly, his gaze fixed on the purplish-red sun.
After Little Doctor Immortal woke up, she looked at the adorable Little Spirit in front of her and gave her a kiss. She was just too cute.
"Little Spirit, I'll teach you a cultivation technique. You must cultivate diligently from now on!"
Little Doctor Immortal's lips curved slightly as she looked at the quiet Little Spirit. Her slender fingers touched Little Spirit's forehead.
A strange memory surged into Little Spirit's mind. She shook her slightly dizzy head and nodded.
Little Doctor Immortal led Little Spirit out of the side room and said to Xiao Yan, who was tidying up, "Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to my sister!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan, busy cleaning the room, turned around when he heard Little Doctor Immortal's voice. He immediately noticed a little loli with white hair and red eyes beside Little Doctor Immortal.
Xiao Yan looked at Little Spirit, a special light flashing in his eyes. The item in his hand fell to the ground without him realizing it.
Seeing Xiao Yan spacing out, a hint of a dark line flashed across Little Doctor Immortal's forehead. Was Xiao Yan thinking about touching her again?
Xiao Yan snapped back to reality, only to be met by a rapidly approaching pink fist.
"Thump!"
"Cough, cough, sis, there's no need for that, is there!" Xiao Yan said awkwardly, rubbing his sore shoulder.
He had really just zoned out for a second, definitely not because the little brat in front of him was too cute.
"It's bad!"
Medicine Elder suddenly appeared before them, his expression hurried, as if something bad had happened.
"What happened?"
Little Doctor Immortal looked at the anxious Medicine Elder with some surprise. What had happened?
Medicine Elder glanced at Little Doctor Immortal and said calmly, "There are many people outside Wu Tan City. The highest cultivation is a Dou Ling."
"What?"
Xiao Yan was stunned by the words. A Dou Ling expert?
Why would they lead a group of people to Wu Tan City?
Were they trying to seize the city?
"It seems they're here for Little Doctor Immortal," Medicine Elder said, looking at Little Doctor Immortal with some confusion.
Why was Little Doctor Immortal being hunted?
Wasn't she from a super force?
And only one Dou Ling?
Little Doctor Immortal looked at the curious Medicine Elder and said calmly, "I killed a mercenary group's Young Leader a while ago, but they didn't have any Dou Ling experts."
Medicine Elder said calmly, "It seems to be because of the Calamity Poison Body. And that Dou Ling expert is a poison master. Could it be that news of your Calamity Poison Body has gotten out?"
Little Doctor Immortal touched her smooth chin and thought, "That's unlikely!"
Little Spirit looked at the people in front of her with curiosity. She didn't quite understand what they were saying, only that a Dou Ling seemed to be very powerful in this area.
"Miss, something has happened." Ling Ying knelt on one knee before Xiao Xun'er.
"What is it?" Xiao Xun'er calmly combed her hair.
"Outside Wu Tan City, a large number of people above Fighter have appeared. The highest is a one-star Dou Ling, and he's a poison master."
Ling Ying calmly relayed the information he had gathered. After all, they were just minor figures, but he couldn't openly intervene.
"Do you know the specific reason?"
Although Xiao Xun'er didn't care about these people, she cared about the person whose backing was only a Great Dou Master.
"It's said to be for Little Doctor Immortal!"
Ling Ying said with his head lowered. He knew that Miss and Little Doctor Immortal weren't on good terms.
But was it really okay to be vying for jealousy because of that good-for-nothing?
That brat didn't deserve it at all!
"Oh, tell me more about it?" Upon hearing news of Little Doctor Immortal, Xiao Xun'er became somewhat interested.
Ling Ying thought for a moment and said calmly, "According to the information gathered by your subordinate, it's because the Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in Green Mountain Town was suspected to have been killed by the Little Doctor Immortal.
Mu Li, it is said, left for the sake of the Little Doctor Immortal and never returned. The leader of the group believes the Little Doctor Immortal killed him.
He then inquired everywhere for news of the Little Doctor Immortal. Somehow, word spread that the Little Doctor Immortal had arrived in Wu Tan City, but with his strength, he couldn't force his way in.
At that time, a poison master from the Chuyun Empire happened to pass by. The group leader remembered the legends of the Chuyun Empire and spread rumors that the Little Doctor Immortal possessed the Calamity Poison Body, not only poisoning people from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion but also his son, thus gathering people to seek revenge here."
Xiao Xun'er nodded after hearing this and dismissed Ling Ying. She had heard of the Calamity Poison Body; there was even a sect in the Central Continent with that constitution.
The Calamity Poison Body was already extremely rare. Could it appear in such a remote place?
However, it was quite clever of the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li, to concoct such a story to enlist the help of Dou Ling experts.
His courage was commendable, but if handled improperly, he would end up dead himself... Ultimately, his strength was lacking...
Indeed, Xiao Xun'er did not believe the Little Doctor Immortal had the Calamity Poison Body. At least from their last encounter, she only felt sharp sword energy.
Besides, the Calamity Poison Body wouldn't appear so easily...
A few kilometers outside Wu Tan City, the second-in-command quietly asked Mu Li, "Is it okay for us to lie to these Dou Ling experts?"
Mu Li glanced at the Dou Ling expert kneeling at the very front, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if she isn't the Calamity Poison Body from the Chuyun Empire's legends.
We'll just say we thought she was the legendary Calamity Poison Body."
Hearing Mu Li's words, the second-in-command enthusiastically gave him a thumbs-up. This method of killing with a borrowed knife was truly formidable.
Moreover, there was even a fourth-grade Alchemist among their group. Although their objectives weren't entirely the same, it was still mutually beneficial!
The group advanced towards Wu Tan City in a mighty procession...
Inside Xiao Yan's room, the Little Doctor Immortal paced back and forth. She didn't know how the information had leaked, nor why poison masters were coming.
She could barely handle Dou Masters, but she stood no chance against Dou Ling experts!
The Little Doctor Immortal frowned. She truly had few options now.
Little Spirit grabbed the Little Doctor Immortal's hand. Looking at Little Spirit's calm, wine-red eyes, the unease in her heart subsided.
"Medicine Elder, I need your help. With my current strength, I can't win," the Little Doctor Immortal earnestly pleaded with Medicine Elder. She could only rely on him now.
Medicine Elder smiled and nodded, "No problem, girl. Just tell me when you need my power."
Medicine Elder floated into the Storage Ring, which then gently hovered and approached the Little Doctor Immortal.
The Little Doctor Immortal looked at Xiao Yan, then at Little Spirit, and said, "Xiao Yan, take good care of Little Spirit. I'll be back soon!"
Little Spirit's hand tightly gripped the Little Doctor Immortal's, refusing to let go. Her wine-red eyes seemed filled with reluctance.
The Little Doctor Immortal gently stroked Little Spirit's head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back shortly."
The Little Doctor Immortal glanced at Xiao Yan. After receiving his repeated assurances, she reluctantly believed him.
