This Is the Desired Life of Lying Flat

Little Doctor Fairy left the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

From that day on, the Myriad Medicine Pavilion never opened its doors again.

Before leaving, Little Doctor Fairy had already dismissed all the maids within the pavilion.

As for where Mr. Yao and his assistant Lifei had gone, no one knew, and no one cared.

Hoh, as expected of the valley that supported Xiao Yan and Zi Yan in breaking through to the Dou Huang realm; the energy of heaven and earth here is truly dense.

He couldn't grasp the wonder of it from the original work, but after experiencing it firsthand, he finally understood how terrifying it truly was!

The energy saturating the air was so thick it was nearly atomized!

Just a single deep breath was enough to invigorate his entire spirit.

This was absolutely a prime location, a true paradise on earth!

He felt that if he were to cultivate here, relying on his Flawless Body and the high-tier Earth-grade Primordial Creation Art, it would likely take only two and a half years to reach the Dou Zong realm without any issues.

By then, let alone Medusa, even Yun Shan could be beaten with one hand tied behind his back.

It's just a pity that I don't have enough time left...

Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Spirit Gathering Array.

Effect: Gathers heaven and earth energy, accelerating cultivation speed.

Xiao Yuan: ???

He found this damn system becoming increasingly considerate.

It was like being handed a pillow just as one started to doze off.

He wouldn't need two and a half years this time; a year or a year and a half should be enough!

"How is it?"

"This place is great, isn't it?"

"This little valley is completely isolated from the outside world, and the thick fog in the sky provides excellent cover. If Xiao Lan hadn't accidentally stumbled in once, I'm afraid I never would have discovered this miraculous spot."

Seeing Xiao Yuan's face full of wonder, Little Doctor Fairy stood on the steps of the small wooden cabin, hands behind her back, and giggled with a hint of pride.

"Mm... it is indeed a paradise away from the world. If there's a chance in the future, retiring here would be a pretty good choice."

Xiao Yuan rubbed his chin, looking around as his thoughts began to drift.

Fishing every day, soaking up the sun, and maybe having a couple of kids...

"Of course, bringing Little Doctor Fairy along."

Little Doctor Fairy didn't have any objections to fishing or sunbathing, and living in seclusion here was indeed a nice prospect.

But having children...

And bringing her along?

"You little rascal, what on earth are you thinking about all day?! I'm ignoring you!"

A rosy flush bloomed across Little Doctor Fairy's fair face. She spat a soft rebuke at Xiao Yuan and ran into the house without looking back.

Xiao Yuan was left standing there alone, blinking his eyes.

"Wait, what did I say? Is it wrong to want to bring you along for a peaceful retirement?"

Whether it's Xun'er, Ya Fei, or that crazy woman Nalan Yanran...

How come they are all so strange, one after another?

If it were just one or two, he would definitely think there was a problem, but since they were all like this, he could only conclude that the problem was likely his own.

Deciding not to dwell on it, Xiao Yuan simply assumed Little Doctor Fairy had a sudden mood swing.

He found a relatively open area and first took the Ice Spirit Flame Grass out of his Storage Ring to transplant it into the patch filled with various rare spiritual herbs.

He casually watered these flowers and plants with a splash of Life Flame.

Only then did he take out the reward he had just received from the system.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Array? It's not quite what I imagined."

Rather than a physical array, the system had given him the method to set it up, along with eight array flags that emitted a faint golden light.

Xiao Yuan didn't know the grade of these flags; such things didn't seem to exist on the Dou Qi Continent.

He only knew that their shimmering golden appearance looked incredibly impressive.

As long as these flags were inserted into the ground in the correct order and activated with a wisp of Dou Qi, the Spirit Gathering Array could be triggered.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yuan followed the knowledge imprinted in his mind and inserted the flags in a circle around him.

He then released a wisp of Dou Qi to drive them.

Hum—!

The array activated instantly, and the heaven and earth energy permeating the surroundings began to gather frantically.

"Holy crap, is the effect really this strong?!"

The moment he was enveloped by the energy vortex, Xiao Yuan was startled.

He watched with his own eyes as the surrounding energy grew increasingly dense, swirling around his body like a whirlpool.

It first formed a thick mist, wrapping around him like a thin cocoon, and later even condensed into droplets of spiritual liquid within the formation, as if it were gathering all the energy of the entire small valley into this one spot!

Not wanting to waste a drop, Xiao Yuan hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, quickly entering a meditative state.

Right now, the Dou Qi sea urchin within his body had already retracted three of its spikes, and the fourth was slowly shrinking as well.

Once all nine spikes were fully retracted and it transformed into a smooth, round Dou Crystal, that would be the moment he stepped into the rank of a Dou Wang!

Meanwhile.

Little Doctor Fairy was tidying up inside the house.

Because no one had lived here for a long time, it had long since been covered in a layer of dust.

And while cleaning away this dust, Xiao Yuan's previous words kept echoing in her mind.

Living in seclusion here, taking a wife, having children, and enjoying the happiness of a family...

These were things she had never dared to imagine in the past.

But now...

Little Doctor Fairy looked up through the window at Xiao Yuan, who had already entered a state of cultivation, and a knowing smile involuntarily curled the corners of her lips.

Was she not tempted?

Naturally, she was.

She had never needed much; just a little bit of trust was enough to make her feel happy and content.

So, if it were possible, she would naturally accept it gladly.

However, thinking of how this "little brother" Xiao Yuan was so good at "tricking" people, and the mentions in his inner thoughts about his cousin Xiao Yu's legs, and someone named Ya Fei and the like.

She could be certain.

"This little brother Xiao Yuan is definitely a playboy!"

Little Doctor Fairy clenched her delicate fists and thought indignantly.

Yet, the sweet smile on her face refused to fade.

The sun and moon rotated.

Time passed rapidly in this secluded valley, cut off from the rest of the world.

Unknowingly, they had already been staying here for three months.

During these three months, the relationship between Xiao Yuan and Little Doctor Fairy had grown increasingly intimate, to the point where only a thin layer of window paper remained to be poked through.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan had once again experienced what it meant to live a life of ease.

He only needed to cultivate continuously.

As for Little Doctor Fairy, she would carry a basket every day, a light green cloth tied around her head, humming softly through her dainty nose, just like a beautiful little wife.

If his clothes were dirty, she would wash them.

When the food was ready, she would call Xiao Yuan to eat.

She kept everything in perfect order.

Xiao Yuan went from feeling slightly awkward at the beginning to gradually becoming accustomed to it.

As for the food Little Doctor Fairy made, he didn't show any disdain at all, accepting everything that came his way.

Every time, he would eat it clean.

This made Little Doctor Fairy feel very happy as well.

Occasionally, Xiao Yuan would even compliment her on her good skills, saying that whoever married Sister Little Doctor Fairy would definitely be blessed.

But every time, Little Doctor Fairy would only smile gently, shake her head, and reply:

"You should know that poison masters are the profession with the fewest marriages on the Dou Qi Continent. Not many people have the guts to share a bed with a wife who can release lethal poison with a mere wave of her hand."

"Why wouldn't I be willing? The Woeful Poison Body isn't some incurable disease, nor is it impossible to solve. Besides, would Sister Little Doctor Fairy have the heart to poison me to death?"

Every time he teased her like this, it would provoke a burst of delicate laughter from Little Doctor Fairy, and then she would ask:

"Then what about the girls by your side?"

After these days of interaction, the two of them had become able to talk about anything, and Little Doctor Fairy also knew that Xiao Yuan had a childhood sweetheart named Xiao Xun'er.

And another woman named Ya Fei.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yuan was always left speechless.

He could only mutter under his breath.

[Can't a man have a few wives and concubines? That's a common enough thing on the Dou Qi Continent, isn't it...]

If Xiao Yuan ever dared to voice those words, Little Doctor Fairy would surely assert her authority as the elder sister, grabbing him by the ear to ask who exactly would be the wife and who the concubine.

Since he hadn't said it aloud, she chose to act as if she hadn't heard a thing.

She merely extended a jade finger to tap him lightly on the forehead, humming softly:

"Hmph, just eat your food. You're nothing but a little brat."
