However, this had nothing to do with him. Having witnessed Xiao Chen's strength firsthand, he fully believed Xiao Chen's claims and hurried back to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group stronghold to report the news to his father.

The efficiency of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group did not disappoint Xiao Chen; in just half a day, news regarding the Woe Poison Body had spread throughout the entirety of Qingshan Town.

As the sun moved westward and night began to shroud Qingshan Town, the Qingfeng Inn welcomed a special guest. Li Tianyang looked at the delicate-featured young girl before him, his eyes filled with confusion. "Little Doctor Fairy? What brings you here..."

In Qingshan Town, the name of the Little Doctor Fairy was known to all. She usually stayed at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion and only occasionally ventured out to gather herbs; he had not expected her to visit his inn today.

"I wish to see that lord. I have information regarding the Woe Poison Body!"

Although the Little Doctor Fairy was pure of heart, she knew she could not easily expose the fact that she possessed the Woe Poison Body. She had not yet met Xiao Chen and could not determine his intentions.

Hearing this, Li Tianyang's eyes lit up. He hurriedly led the Little Doctor Fairy upstairs. Arriving at Xiao Chen's door, Li Tianyang knocked. "My Lord, the physician from Qingshan Town, the Little Doctor Fairy, requests an audience. She says she knows some clues regarding the Woe Poison Body!"

"Let her in, and ensure no one else approaches my room!"

Xiao Chen mobilized the Dou Qi within his body to push the door open. The Little Doctor Fairy looked at the young man sitting before the tea table and could not help but be momentarily stunned.

She had only heard that this great figure was a Dou Wang, but she had never imagined this Dou Wang would be so young. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be roughly the same age as her.

"What is it? Didn't you say you had clues? Why don't you come in? Are you afraid I might eat you?"

Xiao Chen watched the dazed Little Doctor Fairy and couldn't help but tease her. Hearing Xiao Chen's voice, the Little Doctor Fairy snapped back to reality. She hurried into the room and bowed. "Physician Little Doctor Fairy of Qingshan Town greets the senior. Please forgive my earlier rudeness!"

[Ding! Important character detected. Simulation character "Little Doctor Fairy" has been enabled. Current available characters: Little Doctor Fairy. Would you like to initiate simulation?]

Xiao Chen did not rush to start the simulation. Instead, he channeled his Dou Qi to seal the door shut, then looked at the Little Doctor Fairy and spoke directly: "Little Doctor Fairy, you are the inheritor of this generation's Woe Poison Body, aren't you?"

The Little Doctor Fairy's body trembled violently at these words. She forcibly suppressed the urge to turn and run, for she knew very well that with Xiao Chen's strength, even if she ran to the ends of the earth, it would be useless.

Moreover, since she had come, she had prepared for the worst. Now that she had been seen through, she did not hide it. "The senior has sharp eyes. If what you say is true, then this junior is indeed the possessor of the Woe Poison Body!"

"However, there is one thing I do not understand. You said just now that I am the inheritor of this generation? Could it be that I am not the only one with the Woe Poison Body?"

It must be said that the Little Doctor Fairy was truly brilliant; from Xiao Chen's few words, she had extracted the most important information.

Xiao Chen naturally would not hide the truth about the Woe Poison Body, but he was in no rush to explain. He pointed to the chair opposite him, signaling for the Little Doctor Fairy to sit and talk.

After the Little Doctor Fairy sat down, Xiao Chen slowly began to recount the inheritance of the Woe Poison Body and its terrifying talent for devouring poison to grow stronger, leaving the Little Doctor Fairy stunned.

"The previous generation's Woe Poison Body was besieged and fell before breaking through to the Dou Zun realm, but fortunately, that person left behind an inheritance!"

Xiao Chen picked up his teacup and took a light sip, then held up two fingers. "I currently have two methods to resolve the explosive nature of the Woe Poison Body!"

"May I ask, Senior, what are those two methods? And what price must the Little Doctor Fairy pay?"

The Little Doctor Fairy understood the principle that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Xiao Chen had come from thousands of miles away on orders from his clan to find the Woe Poison Body; surely it wasn't just for the sake of charity?

Xiao Chen set down his teacup and looked up at the Little Doctor Fairy. "Little Doctor Fairy, if I told you that I came here specifically for you, would you believe me?"

"????"

Xiao Chen's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the Little Doctor Fairy's mind, leaving her head spinning. The look she gave him was filled with doubt and confusion.

If these words had come from a Dou Zhe or even a Dou Shi, she might have been willing to believe them. But who was Xiao Chen? He was a young Dou Wang.

Such a heaven-gifted prodigy claiming he came for her simply overturned the Little Doctor Fairy's perception.

In her view, if Xiao Chen wanted to, countless women would throw themselves at him. With so many choices, how could he possibly have come for her?

Perhaps to avoid a misunderstanding, the Little Doctor Fairy took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, and cautiously probed, "What does the senior mean? I do not understand, please speak plainly!"

"Then I'll be direct: I like you, so I came to save you!"

Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered with small talk and threw a straight pitch right at the Little Doctor Fairy, leaving her completely bewildered.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the Little Doctor Fairy finally regained her senses. Looking at Xiao Chen's earnest expression, a blush could not help but surface on her face. "Sen—" However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Chen. "Don't call me senior. We are about the same age. You can call me Xiao Chen, or Brother Xiao Chen!"

"Alright, Brother... Xiao Chen... did you know I possessed the Woe Poison Body all along?"

The Little Doctor Fairy did not resist Xiao Chen's suggestion; she was merely shy, and the words "Brother Xiao Chen" did not come out smoothly.

Furthermore, what puzzled her was that, judging by their conversation, Xiao Chen seemed to have known about her Woe Poison Body from the very beginning.

But even she herself hadn't known about it—how could Xiao Chen have found out?

Xiao Chen already had an answer prepared for this: he could foresee the future. This was the truth; having read the original story, he naturally knew everything that would happen in the future.

Taking advantage of the Little Doctor Fairy's shock, Xiao Chen stood up, walked over to her, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her hair. "I'm sorry, Xian'er. I came too late and couldn't save your parents and the villagers!"

These words struck the softest part of the Little Doctor Fairy's heart. Tears streamed down uncontrollably. Xiao Chen did not speak again, simply holding her silently and letting her vent her emotions.

Half a cup of tea later, perhaps exhausted from crying, or perhaps feeling an unprecedented sense of security, the Little Doctor Fairy actually fell asleep in Xiao Chen's arms.

Watching the soundly sleeping Little Doctor Fairy, Xiao Chen had no improper thoughts. He picked her up, placed her on the bed, returned to his chair, and entered the simulator.
