Little Fairy Doctor: I'm Willing to Go with You, Senior

"Would you like to come with me and become my disciple?" Wu Changqing asked.

Little Fairy Doctor looked up in surprise. "Senior, are you... serious?"

"Of course. Do I look like I'm joking?"

"I'm asking you sincerely now. Do you want to come with me?" Wu Changqing said.

The question came so suddenly that Little Fairy Doctor did not know how to answer.

If it had been before, she would have refused immediately.

Because she did not want to leave Green Mountain Town, nor did she want to leave the place where she had lived for so many years.

But things with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had become too serious now.

Although Mu She was dead, many matters could not be completely resolved just because one person had died.

Just as Wu Changqing had said, Mu She was dead, but the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was not.

Who knew whether some of Mu She's loyal subordinates would seek a chance to retaliate against Little Fairy Doctor?

Little Fairy Doctor had no cultivation herself. She could not possibly hire someone as her personal bodyguard, could she?

"Senior, could you let me think about it?" she said.

Too many things had happened over the past two days. Little Fairy Doctor's thoughts still had not caught up, and she needed to calm down and think things through.

"No problem. You can think about it for one more night. I'll leave Green Mountain Town tomorrow morning, and I'll only wait until then," Wu Changqing said.

"Mm, thank you, Senior." Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly thanked him.

"By the way, Senior, you have nowhere to stay tonight. I still have an empty room here. Would you like to rest here for the night?"

"That works."

And so, Wu Changqing stayed.

That evening, Little Fairy Doctor cooked personally, stir-frying several dishes for the two of them to eat together.

After dinner, they briefly tidied up the things in the courtyard, and Little Fairy Doctor returned to her room to rest.

Wu Changqing did not disturb her either, giving her time to think carefully.

One night was enough for her to decide whether she wanted to leave with Wu Changqing.

In the dead of night.

Wu Changqing, who had been sleeping, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

He abruptly opened his eyes and saw wisps of pitch-black mist drifting in through the crack in the door.

Someone had poisoned them?

Had the Wolf Head Mercenary Group come for revenge?

Wu Changqing decisively got up.

When he pushed open the door, he saw that the outside was filled with gray poisonous gas.

"This is..."

Wu Changqing touched the poisonous gas before him with a finger, using the traits of the Sword Furnace to refine it directly.

[Successfully refined Calamity Poison Gas. Poison Resistance +1%!]

Calamity Poison Gas?!

"Just as I thought!"

He quickly walked to Little Fairy Doctor's room.

The poisonous gas in the room was even denser, so dense that he could not even see the state of the room clearly.

This poison had no effect on Wu Changqing. His Sword Furnace could directly devour the Calamity Poison Gas.

As the Calamity Poison Gas around him was devoured, his vision gradually cleared.

Little Fairy Doctor was lying facedown on the table, with several packets of homemade poison beside her.

The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture was also lying nearby.

"Looks like she was cultivating the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, took poison, and accidentally triggered her Woeful Poison Body."

Wu Changqing carried Little Fairy Doctor back to the bed.

Her current state was nothing serious. She would recover on her own after some time.

The only danger was the Calamity Poison Gas constantly being released from her body, but Wu Changqing was practically immune to it, so he was not afraid.

Still, to be safe, he remained to continue observing her condition.

About ten minutes passed.

Little Fairy Doctor stopped giving off poisonous gas. Then her eyelashes trembled lightly, and she opened her eyes.

Her consciousness gradually returned. The first person she saw was Wu Changqing, and she froze for a moment.

"Senior? Why are you..."

"I saw that you had fainted, so I came in to see what was going on."

At those words, Little Fairy Doctor's expression suddenly changed. "Senior, then did you... touch me just now?"

"Uh, I just carried you back to the bed. I didn't touch you after that."

"So you touched my body? Then how do you feel now? Do you feel unwell anywhere?!"

Upon hearing that, Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly wanted to check Wu Changqing's condition.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's only the Woeful Poison Body. It can't hurt me."

Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face turned pale. "Senior... you know about my constitution?"

"Mm."

"Then, Senior, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why would I be afraid of you? You can't hurt me, and I know your constitution is something you were born with, not something you wanted," Wu Changqing said.

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat downcast.

"When I was very young... my parents and the people in my village all died because of this constitution of mine."

"At that time, I didn't know that my constitution was called the Woeful Poison Body. I only felt that I was different from everyone else and that I brought disasters."

"So I came to Green Mountain Town and lived here, thinking I could forget everything from the past and begin a new life."

"But I discovered that once it began, it could not end. By chance, I mistakenly took poison and activated the Woeful Poison Body. From then on, I embarked on this path of no return."

"I didn't dare let others know about this special constitution of mine, because I was afraid they would fear me and distance themselves from me."

"I had already made up my mind never to touch poison again, but..."

She suddenly buried her face in the blanket and sobbed softly.

This was torment and pain for her!

Wu Changqing gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back to comfort her.

"Senior, are you really not afraid of my Woeful Poison Body..." she said.

"I'm not."

"Then, Senior, knowing that I have this constitution, are you still willing... to accept me as your disciple?" She raised her head, crystalline tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"Of course I am."

"Then, I'm willing to go with you, Senior," Little Fairy Doctor said.

Wu Changqing gave her a warmth she had never felt before.

In Green Mountain Town, many people respected her and treated her well.

But what those people made her feel was different from what Wu Changqing made her feel.

Only with Wu Changqing could she feel the sense of security that let her rely on someone without worry.

It was as though she had always been walking alone through darkness, only to encounter a beam of light that shone into her dark world.

"Good. Then tomorrow, you'll leave with me." Wu Changqing raised a hand and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

"Now don't think about anything. Get some proper rest first, understand?"

"Mm-hmm."

Only after soothing Little Fairy Doctor and getting her to sleep did Wu Changqing leave.

When she woke up the next day, Little Fairy Doctor still remembered what had happened the previous night, and she did not regret her decision.

She was going with Wu Changqing!

And once she left, she likely would not return to Green Mountain Town for a long time.

So Little Fairy Doctor had to pack everything up and take whatever she could.

Especially the medicinal herbs—she could not bear to waste even a bit of them.

After Wu Changqing helped her pack everything up,

he set off with Little Fairy Doctor toward the Misty Cloud Sect...
