Time flew by.
Six years passed in the blink of an eye.
Shrek City.
Outside an apparently ordinary medical clinic, a long line had formed.
"Just mild tonsillitis. Nothing serious."
"Hm? Systemic lupus erythematosus?"
"Still not much of a problem."
"Blood and qi reversal caused by an accident during cultivation. Nothing too troublesome."
"..."
Inside the clinic.
A young man in a white hooded robe skillfully received the patients waiting in line.
With a calm expression on his handsome, otherworldly face, he stated each person's ailment.
At the raise of his hand, green light descended, effortlessly erasing their afflictions.
This drew heartfelt sighs of admiration.
"Medicine King's Compassion!"
None of these people actually knew who the Medicine King was.
It was simply because, aside from the usual consultation fee, Bai Luo never accepted any additional compensation from his patients.
Whenever grateful patients tried to repay him further, he would always raise a hand to stop them, leaving behind a single sentence.
"It is a healer's duty. Medicine King's Compassion."
Over time.
Medicine King's Compassion became the phrase these patients sighed after being cured of their illnesses.
Over the past six years.
The phrase Medicine King's Compassion had spread across the continent.
Many people had begun to learn that there was such a miraculous young healer on the continent, one capable of restoring the dying and saving the wounded.
It had even given rise to a new faction among healers.
The Medicine King Sect.
They had formed of their own accord.
They believed the Medicine King to be a deity who rid the world of illness and calamity.
They placed their faith in the Medicine King.
They traveled across the continent, healing the wounded and saving the dying.
As time passed.
They had become a force not to be underestimated.
"This patient, what seems to be the problem?"
Bai Luo raised his eyes.
Before him stood a beautiful married woman who appeared to be around thirty, her charm still very much intact.
An unnatural flush colored her mature and lovely face.
Her gaze at Bai Luo was practically dripping with allure.
One hand pressed against her chest, and her voice was so deliberately soft it seemed ready to smoke.
She deliberately tugged down her collar, revealing a broad expanse of snowy skin and a deep cleavage.
"Little Healer Bai, my chest hurts so much."
"Could there be something wrong? Why don't you feel it and see~?"
With a cloyingly sweet voice, the woman tried to grab Bai Luo's hand and guide it toward the lush peaks before her.
But halfway through, her movement was stopped by a gentle force.
It was not forceful, yet it firmly held her in place.
Bai Luo's expression did not change.
That utterly calm smile still rested on his face.
"There's no need for that."
"There is no major issue, madam. Your hormone secretion is merely a little excessive. Take some medicine and regulate it properly, and you'll be fine."
Bai Luo had long grown accustomed to such situations.
It had been better in the past few years.
After all, he had truly been too young then.
Though his looks had already begun to show promise, aside from certain people with unusual tastes, no one would endure the guilt of harassing a child.
But as he grew older, things became different.
Because soul masters matured early.
Bai Luo no longer looked like a child.
He stood over 1.8 meters tall, and his features had fully grown in.
Compared to his childhood, he had lost some of his cuteness and gained a greater measure of elegance.
Combined with that otherworldly temperament, he was simply poison to the opposite sex.
Bai Luo was no longer surprised by women using consultations as an excuse to flirt with him.
Nor did he have any particular reaction because of it.
Hearing Bai Luo's words, the flush on the woman's face deepened.
But a mature woman was still a mature woman, not as inexperienced as some young girl.
Instead of backing down after hearing him, she launched another offensive.
Her alluring eyes were like silk.
"Little Healer Bai, I actually think there's another way to resolve the emptiness in my heart~"
"After all, every medicine has some toxicity. It's best not to take medicine if one can avoid it."
"I just wonder whether Little Healer Bai would be willing to treat me~"
Bai Luo frowned.
His voice remained gentle, but it clearly carried a trace of impatience.
"I'm sorry, but if there are no other issues, madam should leave first."
"There are other patients waiting behind you."
Wasn't this nonsense?
He was still waiting to treat others and receive feedback.
Though these people could not compare to major original characters like Jiang Nannan in terms of great fortune, the accumulated gains were still quite substantial.
"But I..."
The woman was still unwilling to give up.
However, an icy voice interrupted her just as she was about to speak.
"Xiaoluo told you to leave. Can't you understand?"
A tall figure approached on a pair of long, fair legs.
Her fiery crimson hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Her features were exquisite, her red lips blazing.
The coldness in her scarlet eyes made the woman swallow the retort that had instinctively risen to her lips.
Her status was not ordinary.
But she knew the red-haired woman before her had an even more extraordinary identity.
Among the circle of noblewomen gathered around Bai Luo, a rumor circulated.
At the side of that gentle, spring-breeze-like Physician Bai stood a red-haired flower guardian.
Her status was extremely noble.
She was a member of Shrek Academy's inner court.
A disciple of Ming Feng Douluo, the dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department.
The Flame Mad Demon, Ma Xiaotao.
The woman's identity was not ordinary, but she could not afford to offend Ming Feng Douluo's disciple.
Thus, she did not dare retort. She could only grab her bag and leave in embarrassment.
The consultations returned to normal.
Time slowly passed.
The sky gradually darkened.
The horizon glowed with bewitching red clouds.
The sun sank in the west.
"That's all for today's consultations. The rest of you can come back tomorrow."
Bai Luo ended the consultations.
The crowd gathered outside the clinic gradually dispersed.
"Thank you for today, Sister Xiaotao."
"Otherwise, there probably would have been some trouble again."
Bai Luo thanked her softly.
"Do we still need to say such things between us?"
Ma Xiaotao waved a hand carelessly.
She threw an arm around Bai Luo's shoulders with a carefree manner.
Her tone was earnest.
"Xiaoluo, you're too gentle. That's why these women keep pushing their luck."
"Sometimes, you need to act a little more forcefully!"
"I understand, Sister Xiaotao."
Bai Luo answered with a smile.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao knew he had not taken it to heart.
She felt somewhat helpless.
Bai Luo was good in every way.
His only flaw was that he was too gentle.
Such an excessively gentle personality was destined to make certain people push their luck.
He was clearly a genuine Soul Emperor, the number one genius of the younger generation in the soul master world personally acknowledged by her teacher.
Yet he acted so approachable.
It gave certain vixens improper thoughts.
But...
Ma Xiaotao's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly.
Her scarlet eyes glanced at Bai Luo from the corner of her eye.
She liked Bai Luo.
Wasn't his gentle personality one of the main reasons why?
Though she kept saying those women had improper intentions.
In truth, Ma Xiaotao's own thoughts were not all that pure either.
They all wanted to have him.
She was simply more particular about taking things step by step, unlike those women who were so blatant.
