Encounter with Little Medical Fairy

From far away, one could see quite a few wounded mercenaries lining up outside Thousand Medicine Hall.

At the front of the line, a girl in a pale white dress was treating the wounded.

Though she was treating a group of grown men, there was not the slightest trace of disgust on her face. A faint smile rested on her lips, and her entire person exuded a delicate, ethereal aura. This elegant temperament greatly enhanced her charm.

The mercenaries around her stood quietly in line, as though afraid of disturbing a fairy-like figure before them. If any hot-blooded young men newly arrived in Green Mountain Town made lewd teasing remarks, the surrounding mercenaries would swarm them and give them a vicious beating.

At the sight of the girl, a flash of amazement passed through Xiao Yu's eyes. Though he had expected this, only upon truly seeing her did he understand that descriptions in a book could never compare to the impact of seeing her in person.

Only by seeing Little Medical Fairy with his own eyes could one understand the pure, noble aura she exuded. In this world where strength was revered and the weak were prey to the strong, she tirelessly treated these mercenaries who lived by the blade. No wonder Little Medical Fairy was so popular in Green Mountain Town.

Ever since Xiao Yu had transmigrated here, if Xun'er's temperament was mischievous and spirited, then Little Medical Fairy's elegant disposition was even more attractive to him.

A healer who helped others without seeking anything in return had been tortured by the Calamity Poison Body until she became a poison master everyone avoided. No wonder Little Medical Fairy became so moody in the later days.

Xiao Yu found an inn not far from Thousand Medicine Hall and settled in. After that, all he had to do was wait for Little Medical Fairy to secretly head to that cave containing hidden treasure.

As night gradually fell, a petite figure quietly slipped out of Thousand Medicine Hall under the cover of darkness.

After vigilantly checking her surroundings, she headed out of Green Mountain Town through an alley known to very few people.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu quietly followed her. Concealed by the night, he trailed the figure all the way to the edge of a cliff.

The bright moonlight fell upon the figure at the cliff's edge. Her lovely face glimmered faintly beneath its glow, her small lips slightly pursed. Wasn't she Little Medical Fairy, who had treated the wounded during the day?

Little Medical Fairy peered over the edge of the cliff for a while, seemingly searching for some marker. Then, she took out a bundle of rope from behind her, tied it to a tree at the cliff's edge, and slowly disappeared over the side.

Only after a moment did Xiao Yu approach the cliff. He quietly watched Little Medical Fairy struggle to climb below, only to discover that a Rock Serpent not far from her was sinisterly flicking its tongue.

Hanging in midair, Little Medical Fairy also spotted the Rock Serpent coiled in a corner. Cold, bloodthirsty light flickered in its triangular eyes, as if it were ready to choose someone to devour. Little Medical Fairy looked at it in fear and hurriedly grabbed a handful of medicinal powder from her waist.

She had never expected there to be a Rock Serpent here.

"Hiss..."

The Rock Serpent let out a chilling hiss and suddenly dove toward Little Medical Fairy. She desperately scattered the medicinal powder in her hand, but she was too nervous, and it dispersed before reaching the Rock Serpent.

"Ah..."

Little Medical Fairy shut her eyes and cried out in shock.

At that moment, Xiao Yu, standing at the cliff's edge, grabbed some dirt from the ground and smeared it over his clothes. Then he raced down along the rope, gripping the rope Little Medical Fairy had lowered with his left hand while pulling the Thousand Flame Spear from his backpack with his right. He swiftly thrust it fiercely at the Rock Serpent.

The blood-red spearhead effortlessly pierced the body of the Rock Serpent, which was said to be as tough as stone.

Xiao Yu drove the Thousand Flame Spear hard into the cliff with his right hand, firmly securing its shaft in midair. He then scooped up Little Medical Fairy in one motion, gently wrapping an arm around her soft waist as he stood atop the spear shaft.

Little Medical Fairy, who had kept her eyes tightly shut, only heard the Rock Serpent's dying hiss before being enveloped by a man's scent. When she came back to her senses and opened her eyes, she discovered that the man before her was far younger than she had expected. He looked as though he had only just come of age.

Yet he had instantly killed a first-tier Rock Serpent in midair over a cliff. This youth had to be at least a Dou Zhe.

There were no such young Dou Zhes in Green Mountain Town. He appeared to be a wealthy young master who had only recently arrived in town. That was what Little Medical Fairy concluded the moment she laid eyes on Xiao Yu.

The reason she assumed he was from a wealthy family was Xiao Yu's attire. After all, ordinary people could not afford robes woven with soft mulberry silk.

"Thank you, young master, for saving me."

Feigning calmness, Little Medical Fairy clenched Xiao Yu's robe with both hands and gave him a simple nod of thanks.

Xiao Yu looked at Little Medical Fairy in his arms and laughed heartily. "It was only a small matter. I happened to be gathering herbs nearby. When I heard your cry, I rushed over immediately. Fortunately, I made it in time."

Seeing Xiao Yu's dirt-stained clothes, Little Medical Fairy believed his words. Then she reacted with a hint of admiration. "Gathering herbs? Could it be that you're an alchemist?"

Looking into Little Medical Fairy's beautiful eyes, Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "Yes. Heaven has shown me some favor; I merely have a little talent."

Hearing Xiao Yu's affirmative reply, Little Medical Fairy concealed the envy in her eyes.

Xiao Yu caught the fleeting desolation in Little Medical Fairy's gaze. He turned toward the hidden cave below and changed the subject.

"You... found some ruins?"

Little Medical Fairy knew that there was no point trying to hide it now. If she claimed she had come alone to the wilderness in the middle of the night to gather herbs, no one would believe her.

Thus, Little Medical Fairy looked at Xiao Yu rather helplessly and said, "That's right. May I know your name, young master?"

"My name is Xiao Yu."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu held Little Medical Fairy's slender waist lightly with one arm and kicked fiercely off the cliff wall with his right foot. The instant he shot forward, he grabbed the Thousand Flame Spear with his left hand and flew toward the cave entrance.

Even through their clothes, the warmth at her waist made Little Medical Fairy's cheeks flush slightly.

Feigning calmness, Little Medical Fairy broke free from Xiao Yu's embrace. Looking toward the cave entrance, she said, "Young Master Xiao, how about we enter the cave together? We can split the hidden treasure equally."

"But if I enter alone, all the hidden treasure will be mine." Xiao Yu deliberately said coldly.

"Pfft..."

Little Medical Fairy's lively laughter suddenly rang through the forest.

"Young Master Xiao, you've never turned anyone down before, have you? The way you're pretending to be cold is truly adorable."

With that, without waiting for Xiao Yu to react, she clasped her hands behind her back and walked into the pitch-black cave.

Looking at the Little Medical Fairy ahead of him, who could truly be called audacious, helplessness flickered in Xiao Yu's eyes. He chased into the cave, his soft murmur echoing across the empty platform.

"Adorable?"

The dark cave was filled with threads of chilliness, and Xiao Yu also noticed that Little Medical Fairy was waiting for him in the darkness.

He knew that being in such a dark environment made Little Medical Fairy feel insecure.
