The Second Tier Blue Eagle slowly descended toward the entrance to Qingshan Town.

This entrance to Qingshan Town, near the Magical Beast Mountain Range, was always crowded with mercenaries.

Some lone mercenaries waited here for others so they could form parties and enter together.

After all, without sufficient strength, entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone was simply courting death.

At that moment, these mercenaries also spotted the Blue Eagle descending from the sky.

As they watched the Blue Eagle slowly descend, a trace of fear flashed across their faces.

Xiao Lan was simply far too large now!

A normal Blue Eagle would not be this big.

The mercenaries of Qingshan Town were all highly experienced. They knew perfectly well what a massive magical beast represented.

Generally speaking, among magical beasts of the same kind, the larger one was likely to be of a higher realm.

Therefore, the moment they saw Xiao Lan, they had already roughly guessed that it had reached the Second Tier.

A Second Tier magical beast was comparable to a human Dou Master!

For mercenaries like them, who had merely reached the Fighter level, facing such a magical beast was no different from serving themselves up on a platter.

Flying magical beasts of the same tier were far more threatening than ordinary magical beasts of that tier.

After all, the ability to fly alone was an enormous advantage.

Thus, the instant they saw Xiao Lan, they turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.

"Not good, a Second Tier Blue Eagle!"

"Damn it, why is there a magical beast of this level in the outer region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range?!"

"Run! Run!"

At that moment, these mercenaries wished their parents had given them two extra legs.

They all fled rapidly toward Qingshan Town.

After all, Qingshan Town had Dou Masters.

If a large number of mercenaries joined forces, they would not need to fear a Second Tier Blue Eagle.

However, they soon realized that this Second Tier Blue Eagle had no intention of pursuing them.

When some mercenaries looked back, they discovered that there seemed to be two people on the Blue Eagle's back!

"Wait, there are people on that Blue Eagle's back!"

"There really are people up there. This Blue Eagle has been raised by someone!"

"Enough running. This Blue Eagle has an owner."

Seeing people on the Blue Eagle's back, the mercenaries realized that it had been a misunderstanding.

They could not help slowing down.

Still, they did not dare approach.

"Which expert is this? He actually keeps a Second Tier Blue Eagle."

"Could it have been raised by a flying station from some city?"

Everyone was curious about the identities of the two people on the Blue Eagle's back.

After having Xiao Lan land at the entrance to Qingshan Town, Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor jumped down from its back.

"Alright, Xiao Lan. Go play around nearby for a while."

"Once I finish packing my things, I'll come back here and call you."

Little Fairy Doctor stroked Xiao Lan's feathers as she spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan nodded and flew into the sky again.

Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor then headed toward Qingshan Town.

As the two drew closer to Qingshan Town, the mercenaries who had been preparing to flee recognized Little Fairy Doctor.

After all, most of Qingshan Town's mercenaries knew Little Fairy Doctor.

"It's Little Fairy Doctor! Little Fairy Doctor got off that Blue Eagle!"

"Little Fairy Doctor isn't dead? That's wonderful!"

"Wait, who is that pretty boy? Why is he walking beside Little Fairy Doctor?"

When they saw Little Fairy Doctor, delight flashed across many mercenaries' faces.

Several months earlier, they had heard that Little Fairy Doctor had not returned from the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Nearly everyone had assumed she was dead.

Yet now, Little Fairy Doctor had returned.

As one of Qingshan Town's few physicians, Little Fairy Doctor had treated many people's injuries.

Without one physician in Qingshan Town, many mercenaries might be crippled or even die when their injuries worsened.

Thus, seeing Little Fairy Doctor return filled many people with excitement.

However, some were also curious about Xiao Yang's identity.

They had never seen Xiao Yang before and were all curious why he could walk alone beside Little Fairy Doctor.

Among the mercenaries, several people turned and ran straight into Qingshan Town the instant they saw Little Fairy Doctor.

They all bore insignias resembling wolf heads.

The moment they entered Qingshan Town, many people who saw that Little Fairy Doctor had returned enthusiastically came forward to greet her.

The greetings never stopped along the way.

When Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor arrived at the entrance to Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, they saw a middle-aged man waiting there.

The moment he saw Little Fairy Doctor, his eyes lit up.

He hurried toward her excitedly.

"Little Fairy Doctor, this is wonderful! You're alive!"

"When I heard from the herb-gathering team that you had gone missing, I specifically hired people to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range and look for you."

"How have you been during this time?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him, somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry, Boss Yao. I encountered some accidents in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

When she had nowhere else to go, Boss Yao of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall had taken Little Fairy Doctor in and given her a job.

Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor was still very grateful to him.

Boss Yao quickly said,

"It's alright. It's good that you're back."

"I'll have someone spread the news of your return later."

At that moment, Boss Yao's eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

However, it was not because Little Fairy Doctor was still alive, but because his Ten Thousand Medicines Hall would be able to prosper again now that she had returned.

A large part of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall's thriving business had originally been because of Little Fairy Doctor.

During the time Little Fairy Doctor had been gone, Ten Thousand Medicines Hall's business had declined considerably.

Now that Little Fairy Doctor had returned, Boss Yao was naturally delighted.

However, Little Fairy Doctor looked at Boss Yao at that moment and said apologetically,

"Boss Yao, I also came this time to say goodbye."

"I'm preparing to leave Qingshan Town."

It was not only because of the threats posed by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and Mu She, but also because of Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body.

She could not possibly find the materials needed to resolve her Calamity Poison Body in Qingshan Town.

If she could not find those materials, her only fate would be to die when the poison body erupted.

Hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, Boss Yao's expression stiffened.

"Wh... why do you suddenly want to leave Qingshan Town?"

"Have you not been living well here?"

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I can help you resolve them."

As he spoke, Boss Yao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yang beside Little Fairy Doctor.

Deep in his gaze toward Xiao Yang was a faint trace of killing intent.

In his view, it was this pretty boy Xiao Yang who wanted to steal away his cash cow.

Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand and did not directly reveal the reason.

"It's because my constitution is somewhat special. I can't receive effective treatment in Qingshan Town."

Boss Yao's expression was somewhat unsightly, but he still forced out a smile.

"Th... that's how it is."

"It's fine. You must have returned this time to pack your belongings, right?"

"Let's return to Ten Thousand Medicines Hall first."

As Boss Yao led Little Fairy Doctor into Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, he gave a meaningful look to several guards in the distance.
