The Art of Core Condensation, I'll Send You to See My Uncle-Ancestor!

Xiao Chen had long guessed that Little Doctor Fairy would say this, so he decisively interrupted her, "Although Heavenly Flames are hard to find, the improvement brought about by fusing them is immense!"

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Flame I have chosen for you is the Netherworld Poison Flame, which is the most suitable for the Woe Poison Body!"

The Netherworld Poison Flame itself contains an extremely potent poison attribute while also possessing the violent nature of a Heavenly Flame. Paired with the Woe Poison Body, killing enemies across ranks becomes as simple as eating and drinking.

Of course, Xiao Chen was not acting on a whim or a sudden impulse. Fusing Heavenly Flames is no laughing matter; a single mistake would result in being burned to ashes in an instant.

However, he had already fused Heavenly Flames twice in the simulator: once with the Green Lotus Core Flame and once with the Fallen Heart Flame.

Therefore, Xiao Chen could be considered absolutely certain when it came to fusing Heavenly Flames; otherwise, he would never have dared to let Little Doctor Fairy attempt it.

"In that case, Xian'er will follow Brother Xiao Chen's arrangements in everything!"

Little Doctor Fairy did not know the terror of fusing Heavenly Flames, but even if she did, she would still be willing to try, because she believed that since Xiao Chen had said it, he must have a way to resolve it.

"No rush for now. It's getting late, let's get some rest early!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the sky outside the window. The night was deep, and as a young man with good sleep hygiene, how could he stay up late?

Moreover, even if he wanted to help Little Doctor Fairy condense the poison pill now, he lacked the means. He had currently gathered three Heavenly Flames: the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Green Lotus Core Flame.

However, he possessed neither the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, nor a seventh-rank poison-attribute beast core, nor a place of extreme Yang like the Yang Fire Ancient Altar, so the idea of condensing the poison pill had to be shelved for the time being.

Little Doctor Fairy's face flushed at these words, but she did not refuse. Biting her lip, she walked silently toward the bed. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she still didn't want things to be so hasty...

Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile. He took off his outer garments, climbed into the covers, pulled Little Doctor Fairy into his arms, and ruffled her hair. "Sleep now. Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if I really wanted to do something to Xian'er, it wouldn't be now!"

"Mm!"

Upon hearing this, Little Doctor Fairy's beautiful face turned even redder. She buried her head in Xiao Chen's chest, not daring to look at him, while silently scolding herself in her heart, Little Doctor Fairy, oh Little Doctor Fairy, what is inside your head? How could you view Brother Xiao Chen with such base thoughts?

Perhaps out of excessive self-reproach, in order to atone, Little Doctor Fairy made a bold decision. She quietly loosened her grip on Xiao Chen and, blushing, slid under the covers.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Xiao Chen woke up early. Seeing Little Doctor Fairy still fast asleep, he did not disturb her, instead tiptoeing out of bed and leaving the room.

Not long after Xiao Chen left, the sleeping Little Doctor Fairy opened her eyes. She hugged the quilt and began rolling around the bed. "Oh heavens, Little Doctor Fairy, what did you do last night!!!!"

"It's over. Will Brother Xiao Chen think I'm a bad girl?"

Countless thoughts flooded into Little Doctor Fairy's mind, leaving her feeling panicked and uneasy, unable to calm down enough to think about anything.

Just as Little Doctor Fairy was spiraling in her thoughts, the door was pushed open from the outside. Xiao Chen walked in carrying a few plates of pastries and rice porridge. "Xian'er is awake. I got some pastries and porridge, have some!"

Seeing that Little Doctor Fairy was awake, Xiao Chen brought the pastries to the bedside and picked one up, intending to feed her, but Little Doctor Fairy dodged it. "Um, Brother Xiao Chen... Xian'er wants to rinse her mouth before eating!"

"Mm, I'll go pour you some water!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen realized his mistake. He stood up, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her. After rinsing her mouth, Little Doctor Fairy tidied her clothes and got out of bed.

At the dining table, Little Doctor Fairy looked at the white porridge in her bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and then looked up at Xiao Chen. She suddenly felt as if she were already full.

Xiao Chen ate two pieces of pastry and suddenly remembered there were still matters to resolve. "Xian'er, how do you intend to handle the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion?"

"Brother Xiao Chen can decide. That Yao Wanqian never treated me with sincerity; he only used me as a tool for profit. Our past interactions were nothing more than mutual exploitation!"

Little Doctor Fairy's expression was indifferent, and there was not a hint of attachment in her tone. She had seen through Yao Wanqian's character from the very beginning, but she had been powerless to leave. Now that she had Xiao Chen by her side, she naturally had no desire to return to that wretched place.

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Since Little Doctor Fairy had already made up her mind, things would be easy. He didn't want such a trivial matter to leave a knot in her heart. "Xian'er, you eat first. I'm going out to handle some business!"

Little Doctor Fairy understood. She set down her spoon, walked up to Xiao Chen, and straightened his collar. "Brother Xiao Chen, be careful on the road. Xian'er will be good and wait here for your return!" After saying this, she kissed him on the cheek, her eyes filled with longing.

"Don't worry, no one here can threaten my safety. I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Chen cupped Little Doctor Fairy's face, pecked her delicate lips, and turned to leave the room.

Meanwhile, at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters, Mu She was still dreaming of soaring to great heights, unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

"Father, hurry! That lord is here! He's in the main hall and specifically asked to see you!"

Mu Li pushed the door open violently, startling Mu She into a shudder. He was just about to start scolding, but upon hearing Mu Li's words, he swallowed his anger, jumped up, and rushed toward the door.

Before long, Mu She arrived at the main hall. Xiao Chen was sitting in the seat of honor sipping tea, while two other captains were fawning over him with flattering smiles.

"Wolf Head Mercenary Group leader Mu She, along with my son Mu Li, pays respects to the lord!"

Mu She took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and performed a respectful, deep bow. Mu Li followed suit, bowing alongside his father.

Xiao Chen glanced at Mu She and Mu Li, his smile growing even brighter. "Mu She, is it? You handled the matter well. I am very satisfied!"

"That the lord could achieve his wish is a blessing from the heavens. Mu She dares not claim credit!"

Mu She kept his head low, claiming he dared not take credit, while internally calculating how to hoard the reward for himself. He certainly wouldn't give the low-level mercenaries anything good; at most, he'd toss them a few gold coins each.

However, those two fellows, Gan Mu and He Meng, would not be so easily fooled. If he didn't bring out something real, he feared he wouldn't be able to brush them off.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen waved his hand and said with some impatience, "Alright, I said that if the matter was handled to my satisfaction, I would give you a chance to meet my grand-uncle. Now, I will send you to meet him!"
