The Wolf's Head Annihilated

"Which dog bastard dares to..."

The cursing from Hemon, the Third Commander sitting below the main seat, came to an abrupt halt.

A youth who looked to be of a tender age was sitting right beside him, legs crossed, cradling a black halberd in his arms.

Fresh blood was still dripping from the blade of the halberd.

When?!

The pupils of everyone present constricted sharply, their faces filled with shock.

They hadn't even noticed when this youth had entered!

"Brat, who are you? Do you know what place this is?"

Mu She asked with a gloomy face, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning and vigilance.

"Who am I?"

The youth smiled faintly, resting one hand on Hemon's shoulder, and looked around at the crowd with a playful expression.

"Weren't you all just discussing me a moment ago?"

"You, you are Xiao Yuan?!"

Gan Mu, the Second Commander, was the first to react, and Xiao Yuan nodded slightly with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, congratulations on getting it right. Your reward is to be the first to die in a moment."

The words were spoken with such breezy indifference, as if he didn't take them seriously at all, which immediately sent the Third Commander Hemon into a fit of uncontrollable rage!

"Damn it, you little pup, you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful gust of wind rushed straight toward his face.

Xiao Yuan's expression remained calm, a faint smile still hanging on the corners of his lips. He vaulted up while still holding Hemon's shoulder, his body rotating in mid-air.

Immediately following, in Hemon's shrinking pupils, the youth's heavy, powerful whip kick exploded directly against his face, the force of his internal energy erupting!

BOOM!!

A ripple like a wave suddenly exploded in the air. Hemon's ferocious, fleshy face shattered instantly, and his body slammed into the wall with a thunderous crash!

Gravel burst, and blood splattered everywhere!

The Third Commander, an Eight-Star Dou Zhe, had died just like that?

Before Gan Mu could even recover his senses, that pitch-black halberd came whistling through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp tip of the halberd pierced through Gan Mu's chest. The immense force carried him away, pinning him to the wall on the spot like a wall hanging.

The Second and Third Commanders of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had perished in an instant.

Xiao Yuan strolled over to Gan Mu, casually pulled out the Heaven-Slaughter Halberd, and after summoning the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to collect their souls, he drove the banner into the ground.

He beckoned to Mu She on the main seat with a hooked finger and teased:

"Want to play?"

That day, no one knew exactly what had happened inside the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

They only saw black clouds blotting out the sun, shrouding the sky and constantly raining down chains like divine punishment!

Not a single person from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group survived; they were completely wiped off the map in Qingshan Town!

No one even knew who had done it!

They only knew that the three commanders of the Wolf Head had died miserable deaths.

One had his head smashed in and was embedded in the wall;

One had a gaping hole in his chest, his internal organs pulverized;

And the Great Commander, Mu She, had actually been carved into a human stick and hung in the center of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's living room, like a chandelier!

Everyone who heard of this incident wore a look of horror.

They were terrified, wondering what kind of powerhouse could be so ruthless!

Yet, more people said this was retribution for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, that they had brought it upon themselves.

However, they were even more surprised to discover that the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was not open for business today.

Usually, even if the Little Doctor Fairy went out to gather herbs, the Myriad Medicine Pavilion would still sell medicinal materials and various healing salves.

But today, the doors of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion were tightly shut, with no sign of opening at all.

Just as the many mercenaries gathered there were discussing this matter, inside the backyard, the faint sound of mortar and pestle came from the Little Doctor Fairy's chamber.

The jade pestle slowly circled and ground within the stone mortar, turning the dried medicinal herbs into fine powder bit by bit.

Then, she poured it out.

She mixed it with other medicinal powders to concoct a poison.

This was something Little Doctor Fairy had learned from the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture; this single packet of powder was enough to poison a Dou Shi!

Yet, this brought not the slightest comfort to her heart.

Everything that had happened in the Magical Beast Mountain Range flashed through her mind incessantly.

She thought of the stone chamber and Xiao Yuan's inner voice, where he mentioned wanting to help her control the Woeful Poison Body.

She thought of the moment Xiao Yuan gifted her that Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

She thought of Xiao Yuan battling the men of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and how he had specifically left Mu Li behind to resolve her doubts...

As for the feelings she held toward Xiao Yuan, this younger brother she had only known for two days, Little Doctor Fairy herself could no longer tell.

Perhaps, leaving this place of trouble with Xiao Yuan right then would have been the best choice?

That way, she wouldn't have had to let younger brother Xiao Yuan venture alone into the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and step into danger for her sake...

"Sigh..."

She had lost count of how many times she had sighed today.

Little Doctor Fairy set down the pestle, rested her chin in her hands, and gazed out the window at the sky.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

She felt deep regret.

"I wonder how Xiao Yuan is doing over there..."

Just then, a second voice suddenly rang out in the room.

[I'm back, I'm back, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is completely finished~]

[Though, this bunch from Wolf Head really are weaklings.]

[They didn't provide much soul power, there wasn't much money, and there weren't even many Rank 2 magical beast cores. What a bunch of paupers, tsk...]

It was Xiao Yuan!

Little Doctor Fairy stood up abruptly and hurried toward the door, wanting to push it open to see if this foster brother was injured.

However, just as her hand touched the door, she heard another of Xiao Yuan's inner voices.

[But then again, how should I see Little Doctor Fairy now?]

[Should I put on an act of being injured to win some sympathy, then recuperate for a few days? To pull our relationship closer?]

[Doesn't feel right... I'm a Dou Ling expert, after all. If I were to get injured fighting a bunch of Dou Zhe and Dou Shi, I'd lose all my face!]

[No, no, let me think of another way to hoodwink this beautiful and kind-hearted sister.]

Inside the room, Little Doctor Fairy was so angered by these inner voices that she laughed.

She had been so worried about him, yet in the end, he wanted to feign injury just to tease her!

What an abominable brother!

Little Doctor Fairy angrily put her hands on her hips, then slowly opened the door just a crack.

Seeing Xiao Yuan sitting on the steps with his back to the door, an idea immediately formed in her mind.

She reached out a fair, delicate jade hand and carefully stretched it toward Xiao Yuan's ear.

Xiao Yuan, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a tugging pain in his ear and instinctively stood up, following the force.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, let go, let go!"

"Hmph, I will not!"

Little Doctor Fairy feigned anger:

"I was so worried about you, yet you were out there muttering about wanting to play tricks on your sister! Today, let me, your foster sister, teach you a proper lesson!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare do it again, Sister Little Doctor Fairy!"

Xiao Yuan begged for mercy in a hurry.

However, he was startled in his heart.

How could he have failed to notice Little Doctor Fairy sneaking up behind him?

He was merely playing along with her now.

But...

[Did I accidentally speak my inner thoughts out loud just now?]
