Two Women (Seeking Follows)

Xiao Ling stared at the small head poking out from his tent, stunned for a moment, before reflexively covering the girl's mouth and slipping inside the tent in a flash.

"Shh!"

"Don't speak, or I'll ride you."

Xiao Ling put on a fierce expression as he looked at Little Fairy Doctor, who was now within arm's reach.

To be honest, he was currently feeling a bit like riding a pig south.

It wasn't that he actually intended to do anything to Little Fairy Doctor, but rather that he was wondering how to handle tonight's situation.

After all, it was highly suspicious for this girl to appear in his tent at this hour.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered Xiao Zi, but a girl coming to find Xiao Zi in his tent in the middle of the night?

That just didn't make any sense, no matter how you looked at it.

Could it be... this little angel likes me? Well, that makes sense. Even though my looks are average, my talent is enough to dominate the Jia Ma Empire...

"Mmph, mmph..."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the overbearing boy in white before her and tugged at him, signaling that she wanted to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling snapped back to reality. He looked at their current posture, and a rare trace of shyness appeared on his youthful face.

"Ahem..."

With a light cough, Xiao Ling tried to ease the awkwardness and quickly released the little angel in white.

"Uh... Xian'er, sorry about that just now... I..."

"It's fine, you... you should be a bit gentler next time..."

Little Fairy Doctor had calmed herself down by now and spoke softly.

Looking at that soft, beautiful face, Xiao Ling felt even more awkward. For the first time, he scratched his head in embarrassment, a rare hint of guilt appearing on his face.

Because just a moment ago, he had heard Xiao Zi's report; he hadn't expected this girl to actually plan on spending the night in his tent to cover up the suspicions caused by her absence.

But this would also lead people to wonder if there was something going on between them. He didn't care about that himself, but this girl's reputation would be ruined, and people would gossip...

"Xian'er, I was just too nervous earlier... I won't hide it from you, I came here because I received information that there is a senior's cave dwelling here."

Xiao Ling didn't hide it from her. After all, if this little angel could go to such lengths for him, he would feel guilty if he kept hiding things, even if he didn't have much of a conscience to begin with...

Hearing this, a touch of sweetness bloomed in Little Fairy Doctor's heart. She stared at the boy in white with her gentle eyes and said.

"Alright, I don't mind. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Listening to the words of the little angel in white, Xiao Ling nodded. Then, to her surprise, he gently hugged her before letting her leave.

Soon, the sky turned bright, and a crisp, inquiring voice came from outside the tent.

"Young Master, are you awake? Would you like some breakfast?"

"Coming."

Xiao Ling opened his eyes, a flash of sharp light passing through them.

He intended to adjust his state to its absolute peak. Once he returned home, he would go into seclusion to thoroughly break through to the Da Dou Shi realm. This time, he wanted to be fully conscious when he sensed how his constitution was devouring his lifespan.

At breakfast, Xiao Ling watched Yao Wan'er, who kept leaning toward him intentionally or otherwise. He could already feel the gaze of Little Fairy Doctor sweeping over from time to time, which gave him a headache, leaving him with no choice but to sit there and eat in silence.

He turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused solely on his own affairs.

As breakfast ended, the group quickly packed their bags and set off once again.

On the journey back, the group did not encounter any attacks from Magic Beasts, which brought a look of relief to the faces of the mercenaries.

When they looked at the boy in white in the center of the group, their faces were filled with respect and knowing smiles.

They weren't stupid; the fact that these Magic Beasts were all behaving themselves was enough to reveal the extraordinary nature of Young Master Ling from the side!

Xiao Ling didn't pay much attention to this; he was already struggling to save himself.

He was currently being flanked on both sides by a large and a small girl.

He looked at the two girls holding his arms on either side—well, one of the girls had rather large "pandas."

This was normal, after all, she was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and her strength was around a one-star Dou Zhe, which was perfectly normal.

"Xian'er, Wan'er, can you two stop messing around? If this continues, I'm going to get angry."

Xiao Ling felt helpless inside, his tone flat but tinged with a hint of irritation.

Seeing this, the two girls hurriedly let go of him. Yao Wan'er's pure and alluring face didn't change at all; on the contrary, she looked a bit smug, though she didn't dare show it. But who was Xiao Ling? How could he not see it?

This girl had been the source of trouble the entire way, but what he hadn't expected was that a girl as gentle as Little Fairy Doctor would actually get jealous over him. This made him ignore the pure, alluring girl with the large chest for the time being.

Otherwise, he would have made her pay for daring to take advantage of him.

At this moment, a blush appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks, and she shot him a fierce look with her gentle eyes. However, before she could think any further, a teasing voice came from not far away.

"Oh my, who could this be? If it isn't the Little Fairy Doctor, whose fame has spread throughout Qingshan Town."

A burly man with a physique like a tiger and a waist like a bear walked over, accompanied by a dozen well-trained mercenaries with the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf emblem embroidered on their chests.

Upon reaching them, the man scanned the area left and right before smiling at Little Fairy Doctor and the pure, alluring girl who looked like a panda; as for the youth in white standing between them, he was automatically ignored.

In his view, a wet-behind-the-ears kid could hardly possess any real strength, which was why Mu She and the others had kept him in the dark; otherwise, he would likely be running faster than a rabbit right now.

Then again, if they hadn't kept it a secret, who would dare join the Wolf Head Mercenary Group at such a critical juncture?

That would be like an old man eating arsenic—simply tired of living.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Ba, the current Third Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Could I invite the two beauties to my quarters so we can discuss the meaning of life?"

Hearing this, even with Little Fairy Doctor's gentle nature, a flash of anger appeared on her soft, beautiful face. After taking a deep breath, she glanced tenderly at the youth in white beside her and politely declined.

"No thank you, I have matters to attend to. The Third Commander should ask someone else."

At this moment, a look of disgust also appeared on the pure, alluring face of Yao Wan'er standing to the side.

However, she forced herself to endure it without lashing out, because the strongest person in her Wanyao Pavilion was her father, a two-star Dou Shi, who was simply no match for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

After all, besides their leader Mu She, it was rumored that the Second Commander, Gan Mu, had also broken through to the Dou Shi realm.

Thinking of this, Yao Wan'er also intended to decline; she had no intention of using the youth in white beside her, simply because she did not want to leave a bad impression on him.

However, just as she was about to speak, Xiao Ling's calm voice drifted from the side, echoing through the surroundings.
