Consider a Free Lobotomy

Having reaped this unexpected windfall along the way, Wu Yong continued his flight north toward the Jia Ma Empire.

Even though the distance between Canaan Academy and the Jia Ma Empire was vast, to Wu Yong, who was flying at several times the speed of sound and traveling day and night, it was merely a journey of a few days.

Border passes and rugged terrain were no obstacles to a powerhouse flying thousands of feet in the air.

Upon arriving in the Jia Ma Empire, he purchased a map of the region and flew straight toward Wutan City.

Qingshan Town.

It was a very ordinary town nestled against the Magic Beast Mountain Range; there were at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, towns with this name across the Dou Qi Continent.

But there was only one Qingshan Town that also happened to have a Little Fairy Doctor.

Inside a medical clinic, a young girl dressed in white robes was sorting medicinal herbs. Every movement she made carried a unique, ethereal aura.

Her slender waist, which could be spanned by a single hand, was accented only by a green sash.

On the surface, she appeared to be nothing more than a beautiful and kind-hearted young physician.

Although in Wu Yong's eyes her medical skills were slightly inferior to his own, she had no trouble handling most common injuries and illnesses.

"After you squeeze the juice from that white fruit, mix it with an equal amount of water and bring it to a boil. Once the temperature drops to room temperature, combine it with the other herbs, and the medicinal effect will be even better."

The girl, who was busy preparing medicine, turned her head and saw a tall, handsome youth watching her.

The girl couldn't help but be stunned; this stranger was quite rude.

"Do you even know what kind of medicine I'm preparing?"

"Judging by that uncle's complexion, it should be for diarrhea, right?"

The girl was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected this kid to have some skill, or at least a decent eye for diagnosis.

She then silently ran through the steps the youth had just mentioned in her mind and felt that there didn't seem to be any problems.

Thus, she began to boil the concoction according to his instructions.

The youth paced into the clinic and watched the girl's subsequent actions. He didn't speak again, instead walking silently to the side to help watch the heat.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but form a slightly better impression of the youth.

People who actually work don't like others interfering excessively.

This youth wasn't bad, and it looked like he might actually have some real ability.

The girl thought to herself.

As the water in the clay pot began to boil, the youth picked up a rag from the side, covered the handle of the pot, counted to three in a low voice, and immediately took the pot off the fire.

The girl had finished grinding the herbs on her side, and the youth reached out to take them, pouring them all into the pot.

"Three bowls of water."

"Three bowls of water."

They spoke almost simultaneously. The two were stunned for a moment, then quickly added three bowls of water to the pot and placed it back on the fire to continue boiling.

They remained silent until the medicine was ready.

After the middle-aged mercenary drank the decoction, his body showed clear signs of recovery, and once he left, the two physicians finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You must be a physician as well, right?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the youth with a smile. The silent, tacit cooperation they had just shared made her certain that this youth must also be a physician with decent skills.

"Yes, three years ago, I was just like you, working as a physician in a clinic."

Wu Yong nodded and began to talk about some of the patient cases he had encountered during his time as a physician.

Perhaps because they were peers, despite it being their first time meeting, they chatted very congenially.

Before they knew it, the light began to dim, and only then did they stop.

"I've chatted with you for so long, but I still don't know your name. You can call me Little Fairy Doctor."

"My name is Wu Yong, the 'Yong' for mediocre."

"Wu Yong, not destined to be mediocre?"

"Yes, that is my greatest wish in this life: to never be content with mediocrity."

"Then do you have anywhere to go next?" Little Fairy Doctor was silent for a moment before looking at Wu Yong and asking.

"I obtained a treasure map, so I will likely stay here for a while to search for the treasure."

Wu Yong narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"A treasure map!?"

Little Fairy Doctor widened her eyes, looking at Wu Yong in shock.

Seriously, brother? Is this something you can just tell anyone?

"Actually, it's just a very blurry map. I've been cultivating for too long, so I wanted to come out for some fresh air and try my luck while I'm at it."

Wu Yong wore an indifferent expression, as if he didn't really believe there was any treasure to be found here.

Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then looked at the aura of confidence radiating from Wu Yong and asked, "It seems your strength must be quite decent, right?"

"Hmm, it's enough to get by within this Jia Ma Empire."

"Alright then, it seems I don't need to worry about your safety." Little Fairy Doctor breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was hard enough to meet someone she could actually talk to.

"Oh? Listening to you, it seems this small town isn't exactly peaceful either?"

Wu Yong raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded helplessly, then shook her head: "It's not that it isn't peaceful, it's just that some people are very annoying. But with your strength, you shouldn't need to worry."

"Some people are annoying? It sounds like they've been bothering you. Where are they? I'll just wipe them out while I'm at it."

"It's not really to that extent..."

"It is."

"It's not."

"It is."

"...Why?" Little Fairy Doctor was puzzled. Buddy, why are you so violent?

"You are one of the few friends I can actually talk to, and those who trouble my friends are my enemies. I have never been merciful toward enemies."

"But we only just met for the first time..."

"There is a saying: to meet like old friends at first sight."

Wu Yong raised his hand directly, cutting off Little Fairy Doctor: "Hurry up and tell me where they are. If we keep dawdling, I'll have to sleep in the wilderness tonight."

Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated. You're already this fierce, do you really care about where you're sleeping tonight?

However, facing such a firm attitude from Wu Yong, she had no choice but to explain the strength of the enemies he would be facing.

"The leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is a Dou Shi, and besides him, there are several other vice-leaders..."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor stopped, staring dumbfounded at the figure outside the door.

Because, behind him, a pair of cyan Dou Qi Wings had unfurled.

"Dou... Dou Wang!"

Little Fairy Doctor's brain suddenly short-circuited. She found it hard to believe that the youth who had been chatting so congenially with her, and who was a physician just like her, was actually an incredibly formidable Dou Wang expert!

Then, she saw this incredibly young and noble Dou Wang expert reach out a hand toward her, extending an invitation.

"Little Fairy Doctor, could I trouble you to show me the way?"

Just like that, Little Fairy Doctor was dizzily carried into the sky, held in that guy's arms, feeling the gentle wind blowing against her cheeks...

During the journey, several people were subjected to a "head removal surgery" by Wu Yong using invisible wind blades.

It wasn't until she returned to the ground and waved goodbye to that guy, who was busy heading off to find an inn, that she finally came to her senses.

After standing dazed in place for a long time, Little Fairy Doctor finally woke up as if from a dream.

"My heavens, Wu Yong is actually a Dou Wang!"
