Xiao Yi Xian

"The Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion is up ahead!"

Xiao Fan pointed forward. In his previous life, he had also met a girl here who was both lucky and unlucky.

"She probably hasn't arrived yet..."

The moment Zi Yan saw the dazzling array of medicinal herbs laid out before her, her eyes went wide.

Although their quality was not high, there was simply too much of it.

"Boss, are your herbs ripe?" Zi Yan asked eagerly, the hem of her purple dress swaying continuously amid the fragrant herbs.

"Little one, these are all herbs the mercenaries brought in today. They're guaranteed ripe," the clerk explained warmly upon seeing such an adorable child.

"This... this, and these too—I'll take them all!" Zi Yan's eyes sparkled as she happily pointed at all kinds of medicinal herbs.

The clerk froze. His previous impression of Zi Yan as an adorable child vanished, and he said with a trace of displeasure, "Little one, are you here to cause trouble?"

"Cause trouble?" The one time Zi Yan had not caused trouble or gotten into mischief, she was accused of causing trouble?

Zi Yan planted her hands on her hips and huffed, "Believe it or not, I'll tear down your Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion!"

The clerk could not really be blamed for thinking that way. Zi Yan was practically trying to buy all the herbs in the entire Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. Left with no choice, Xiao Fan walked over to her and said to the clerk, "Do as she says."

The clerk, who had been about to lose his temper, immediately put on a fawning smile when he saw the Black Card in Xiao Fan's hand. Fortunately, he knew his stuff and recognized that the Black Card could only be owned by someone with assets of at least ten million gold coins.

"Yes, sir. Please rest inside for a while. There are too many herbs, so packing them will take some time."

"Fine. By the way, does your Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion have a physician?"

Xiao Fan still held a faint hope in his heart. What if she had already arrived by now?

"A physician?" The clerk looked somewhat puzzled, but still explained,

"My apologies, sir, but the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion currently has no physician. If you need one, I can call the manager for you."

Xiao Fan felt somewhat disappointed and said to the clerk,

"Forget it. Give all the packed herbs to her."

Xiao Fan pointed at Zi Yan, who was chewing away at the side.

He was somewhat tired too. Carrying Zi Yan was still quite a burden, and after walking so far, he wanted to rest for a while.

Finding a comfortable rocking chair, Xiao Fan propped up his hand and took a nap.

"Hm? Why is the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion so lively today, Xiao Liu?"

A similarly petite figure came down from the loft. She wore a light white dress, her slender waist, small enough to fit in one hand, bound by a purple sash. Her long, snow-white hair draped softly and smoothly down her back like a cascading galactic waterfall.

A veil concealed the little girl's face. Though her features were hazy behind it, it only made people all the more curious to uncover them.

Though she was not tall, every clerk treated her with utmost respect.

"Manager, a major customer came today and bought all the medicinal herbs."

"A major customer?" The white-haired little girl's brows furrowed slightly.

The clerk named Xiao Liu pointed at Xiao Fan, who was napping nearby. "That young master."

Following the direction of his finger, she saw Xiao Fan sprawled there without the slightest regard for his appearance. Beneath her veil, the petite manager's lips curled up slightly.

Her faintly smiling face exuded a fresh, ethereal air. That extraordinary temperament instantly made the white-haired little cutie far more charming.

"Mm. In that case, the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion will close for the day. Once you finish cleaning up, you may all leave and rest."

Xiao Liu was clearly delighted. After all, no one liked working, even if the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion treated its employees very well.

"Thank you, Manager!"

With a day off as motivation, the few of them worked even harder.

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm still in here! Why are you packing me up too?" Zi Yan indignantly shouted after being tied up and packed together with the other medicinal herbs.

At that moment, Xiao Fan sensed a petite figure approaching his side. Out of habit, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. The little girl struggled for a while before ceasing to resist, allowing Xiao Fan to hold her.

Xiao Fan's hands were far from well-behaved. Though she was young, that slim, supple waist that made one want to stroke it again and again utterly fascinated him.

But before long, the little girl in his arms, whose gaze had become somewhat dazed, suddenly remembered something. She immediately struggled free from Xiao Fan's embrace, jumped away, and put a considerable distance between them.

Xiao Fan opened his confused eyes and looked at the white-haired little cutie before him, whose face was slightly flushed. "Hm? Who are you?"

Xiao Fan immediately perked up and jumped down from the rocking chair. He carefully examined the doll-like girl before him: her waterfall-like silver-white hair, fair and translucent skin, slender waist, and, most importantly, those grayish-purple eyes that held little emotion!

Xiao Fan could confirm her identity beyond all doubt. "That's right, Xiao Yi Xian!"

But what puzzled Xiao Fan was that Xiao Yi Xian's hair should have been purple at this point. Could it be that after his rebirth, Xiao Yi Xian's Woe Poison Body had erupted early?!

The Woe Poison Body was no joking matter. Anxious, Xiao Fan swiftly lifted Xiao Yi Xian's white skirt high.

Slap!

Xiao Fan covered his left cheek, which still bore five finger marks, and stared at Xiao Yi Xian in disbelief.

"You hit me? My cute, pure, angelic, snow-white Xiao Yi Xian actually hit me!"

"Hm? Snow-white?"

"Could it be because of Zi Yan?"

"Achoo!" Zi Yan, who had somehow taken the blame, sneezed. Immersed in the medicinal herbs, she did not notice anything strange on Xiao Fan's side. Even though someone was practically poaching the treasure in the corner, she was still happily munching on herbs.

Xiao Fan's heart filled with grievance. He had clearly only been helping her examine her body, yet she had slapped him.

Only then did Xiao Fan realize that he did not even know Xiao Yi Xian yet. "Uh... that slap was justified."

Mist welled up in Xiao Yi Xian's originally emotionless grayish-purple eyes. It's been so long since we last met, and he just lifted my clothes right away. Was he this perverted when he was little?!

Doesn't he know I have the Woe Poison Body and can't be touched casually!

Then Xiao Yi Xian realized that Xiao Fan had no way of knowing about the Woe Poison Body yet...

Doesn't that mean Xiao Fan is currently...

"Pervert!" Xiao Yi Xian spat at Xiao Fan.

For some reason, being cursed made Xiao Fan even more excited. Of course, he was not excited because he had been cursed. He did not have that kind of hobby.

He really did not.

Really!

He was excited because Xiao Yi Xian's Woe Poison Body had not erupted. That Seven-Colored Silk Thread was still contained within her lower abdomen.

Still, what Xiao Fan had done was indeed improper. But seeing the little girl still puffing up in anger before him, he instead revealed an indulgent expression.

"Tch... disgusting!"

Xiao Yi Xian was not truly repulsed by Xiao Fan's actions. She was simply more embarrassed than anything else.

In this life, the two of them had only just met for the first time. This guy, touching me with both his hands and feet...

And besides! Even if... he likes touching waists... he can't rub them until they catch fire!

If he wants to... I wouldn't refuse...

Naturally, Xiao Fan could not hear Xiao Yi Xian's inner complaints.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian standing safely before him, Xiao Fan's heart could not calm down for a long time.

"I'm sorry. I... My name is Xiao Fan. And you?"

"Xiao Yi Xian."
