Although the words were polite, Xiao Jian did not feel that the man’s actions matched his tone.
He saw the middle-aged man directly push open Little Fairy Doctor’s door, with four or five people standing behind him, all looking unkindly at Xiao Jian and Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor also stepped forward and said, “Mr.
Yao, please look at your right palm.
Is it subtly turning blue?”
Hearing Little Fairy Doctor’s words, the middle-aged man’s expression slightly changed.
He quickly opened his right hand and indeed found that his palm was faintly turning blue.
He immediately shouted, “You…
you poisoned me?”
Smiling and shaking her head, Little Fairy Doctor said softly, “Regarding the medicine I formulated, Mr.
Yao should know its efficacy.
If I don’t tell you the antidote formula, you will be poisoned within a month.
At that time, the worst outcome is death, and the lightest is mental paralysis.”
The soft voice echoed in the room.
Even under the scorching sun, Mr.
Yao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He hadn’t expected that even with his caution, he had still fallen into Little Fairy Doctor’s trap.
After balancing life and greed for a long time, Mr.
Yao finally said, extremely unwillingly and bitterly, “Give me the antidote formula, and I will let you leave.”
“Having stayed in Wan Yao Pharmacy for so long, Mr.
Yao, don’t expect me to trust your commitment to your promise.
Let us leave, and I will naturally give you the formula.” Shaking her head, Little Fairy Doctor said calmly.
Xiao Jian now understood the methods of this beautiful girl.
Shaking his head, he also stepped forward.
Dou Qi surged, forming a Dou Qi Gauze Armor on his body.
He said confidently, “No need for all this trouble.
I’m just asking you: Are you going to move out of the way or not?”
The middle-aged man originally wanted to curse, but he forcibly held back the words at the tip of his tongue.
He said coldly, “I hope little friend can remain so smug!” After speaking, he let out a reluctant harrumph and commanded, “Move aside!” He then actively stepped away from the doorway.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Jian in surprise.
She had thought she would have to exert more effort, but she hadn’t expected this guy to be so powerful that he directly forced Boss Yao to move aside, and Boss Yao actually backed down.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that he really moved aside, Xiao Jian thought they were about to fight just moments ago.
But this was good; it saved effort.
Thinking this, he prepared to leave with Little Fairy Doctor.
However, accidents always happen.
Just as one of Xiao Jian’s legs stepped out the door, the middle-aged man suddenly circulated his Dou Qi and shouted, “Azure Wood Palm!”
A strong gust of wind came from behind him.
It was too late to dodge.
In a moment of desperation, Xiao Jian flung Little Fairy Doctor away, covering himself with his Dou Qi Gauze Armor and taking the blow head-on.
He was sent flying several meters.
The middle-aged man then walked out, saying grimly, “Kid, blame your bad luck.
You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter.”
After speaking, he looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said, “After I deal with him, I’ll deal with you.”
Little Fairy Doctor had been flung away by Xiao Jian.
Seeing Xiao Jian get hit, she ignored everything else, rushed to his side, helped him up, and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”
Xiao Jian straightened up, shook his head to indicate he was fine, drew his White Sword, covered it with Dou Qi, and said coldly, “I originally intended to spare your life, but I didn’t expect you were seeking death.”
The middle-aged man sneered, “Kid, still trying to hold on?
I’ll see who dies first.”
After speaking, he activated his Dou Qi, intending to completely end the boy’s life.
This kid destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, so he must have plenty of good things on him.
If he got the things on this kid, and then the things on Little Fairy Doctor, he could dominate Qingshan Town.
“Hundred Steps Flying Sword!”
Unfortunately, his ambitions ended after only two steps.
A flash of white light suddenly appeared before his eyes, blinding him, and then that white light slit his throat.
He desperately clutched his throat, but the trickle of blood slowly widened, and finally, blood gushed out.
He ultimately fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
The few people nearby saw their boss killed by a single sword strike, and they were instantly too terrified to move, cold sweat pouring down like rain.
They were afraid Xiao Jian would strike again and kill them too.
Inserting the White Sword back into its sheath, Xiao Jian took the storage ring from Boss Yao’s hand.
Xiao Jian said to the remaining people inside, “Take me to the storeroom, and I’ll spare your lives.”
How could the remaining few dare to resist?
They hadn’t expected their boss to suddenly strike, and even less that they would witness him being killed in one blow.
This reminded them of the destruction of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and the sight of an entire courtyard full of corpses seemed to reappear before them.
Hearing that Xiao Jian wouldn’t kill them, they all sighed in relief and scrambled to lead Xiao Jian to the storeroom.
The storeroom was not far from here.
They didn’t encounter many people along the way.
Those they met who didn’t attack were spared; those who did were immediately slaughtered.
The current Xiao Jian was no lamb.
As for the few people guarding the storeroom, who refused to open the door, Xiao Jian also slaughtered them and then split the large door open with a single sword strike.
Wan Yao Pharmacy was much richer than the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Xiao Jian found over forty Tier 1 and Tier 2 Magic Cores, and then took all the relatively rare medicinal ingredients.
As for the rest, he didn’t have much time, so he left them for those with fate.
Half an hour later, news of Wan Yao Pharmacy’s destruction spread, and the culprit was still that young man.
In two days, he destroyed the two largest forces in Qingshan Town.
Perhaps, years later, there would still be a legend belonging to him here.
At this moment, Xiao Jian was sitting on the back of the Blue Hawk with Little Fairy Doctor.
Looking at the still slightly stunned Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Jian irritably patted her head and said, “What, did I scare you?”
Little Fairy Doctor was snapped back to reality by the pat.
She shook her head and said, “I wasn’t scared, but I just didn’t expect you to be so decisive in your actions.
I thought you…”
Xiao Jian smiled and finished her sentence.
“Thought I was kinder, right?”
“Mm!” Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head and agreed.
Xiao Jian raised his head and looked into the distance.
“Actually, I’m afraid of people dying, and I never thought about killing before.
Unfortunately, this is a man-eating world.
If you don’t kill others, others will kill you.
Just like a moment ago, if I hadn’t killed him, he definitely wouldn’t have let us go.”
Little Fairy Doctor nodded as if she understood but didn’t quite, and also looked into the distance.
“Yes!
A man-eating world.”
Xiao Jian suddenly smiled again and said, “Actually, there’s no need to be so pessimistic.
This world still has a lot of beauty, and many kind people.”
Little Fairy Doctor nodded.
“I know.”
Clasping his hands behind his head and lying on the back of the Blue Hawk, Xiao Jian looked at the blue sky and said, “Why think so much?
Live in the present.
Anyway, I won’t draw my sword against you.”
Hearing what Xiao Jian said, Little Fairy Doctor smiled sweetly.
“Really?
You’ll never draw your sword against me?”
“Mm!
Never.”
Little Fairy Doctor turned her head to look at Xiao Jian and said, “Then promise me you’ll never draw your sword against me.”
Xiao Jian closed his eyes, slowly enjoying the moment, and replied perfunctorily, “Mm, I promise.”
Little Fairy Doctor looked into the distance again.
“You are my only friend.
If you draw your sword against me, I will be very sad.”
“Don’t worry!” Xiao Jian replied perfunctorily again.
Although his tone was somewhat careless, Little Fairy Doctor still smiled happily.
It was beautiful.
But Xiao Jian didn’t see it.
Guided by Little Fairy Doctor, the Blue Hawk flew straight toward a valley.
Jumping off the Blue Hawk’s back, Xiao Jian sensed the dense World Spiritual Energy around him and saw medicinal ingredients everywhere.
He exclaimed, “It really is a good place.”
“How is it?
I didn’t lie to you, right?” On the way here, Little Fairy Doctor had said she would take Xiao Jian to a good place.
Seeing Xiao Jian’s admiration, she was naturally happy.
She continued, “Next, I need to formulate some poisons from the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, so I might have to stay here for a while longer.” Her tone was consultative.
“No problem!” Xiao Jian naturally had no objection.
He had wanted to come here anyway.
Next, he also needed to spend some time consolidating the gains of the past two months.
This place had high spiritual energy concentration, abundant medicinal ingredients, no interference from magical beasts, and the company of a beautiful woman—he was naturally very willing.
Seeing Xiao Jian agree, Little Fairy Doctor showed a happy smile, but then quickly restrained it.
She raised her small fist and said, “And listen up!
Don’t think that just because there are only two of us here, you can act inappropriately.
I am not easy to bully.”
Seeing this, Xiao Jian quickly raised his hands in surrender, pretending to be obedient, and said, “How could I?
Don’t worry, I am absolutely a good person.”
Little Fairy Doctor was amused by Xiao Jian’s comical appearance, but she still said haughtily, “It better be!
Alright!
Take a look around yourself first.
I’m going to tidy up.”
“Mm!” Agreeing, Xiao Jian began to carefully examine the valley.
The more he looked, the more he realized this was indeed a good place.
Meanwhile, in Qingshan Town, Gan Mu had just finished integrating the remaining forces of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group when he heard the news that the boss of Wan Yao Pharmacy had died, and the perpetrator was still that young man.
He felt a moment of relief for his previous choices.
His eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something else.
“Wang Hu, immediately gather all the brothers.
We’re going to Wan Yao Pharmacy.”
A plain-looking man stepped out from the side.
“Yes, Leader!”
Following this, Gan Mu relied on his Nine-Star Dou Zhe strength and leveraged Xiao Jian’s reputation to reluctantly absorb most of Wan Yao Pharmacy’s remaining forces, instantly becoming the largest power in Qingshan Town.
Of course, he didn’t dare to directly invoke Xiao Jian’s name; he merely guided others to think that way.
As the only surviving high-ranking member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, people naturally made the connection, so it wasn’t too difficult.
To solidify the reputation that he was working for that esteemed adult, he even named his organization the Blood Sword Mercenary Group.
Blood Sword was the nickname people here gave Xiao Jian, because it was rumored that whenever Xiao Jian’s sword was drawn, someone would die by it, hence the name Blood Sword.
Xiao Jian, however, knew nothing of this.
He was busy repairing a house.
After careful consideration, Little Fairy Doctor felt that using just a piece of cloth wasn’t safe enough, so she forced Xiao Jian to upgrade the thatched hut.
In the valley, a clear, bell-like voice constantly rang out.
“Over there!”
“The roof is crooked!”
“Hey!
Hey!
Xiao Jian, why is the pillar crooked?
Quickly straighten it!”
As soon as Xiao Jian straightened one spot, the little beauty below immediately demanded he work on another.
Xiao Jian rolled his eyes helplessly.
“My dear lady, spare me!
I can’t go on!”
The Blue Hawk beside him was also panting heavily, the entire bird slumped on the ground, weakly chirping a few times to indicate it was also exhausted.
Reaching out to stroke the Blue Hawk, Little Fairy Doctor said gently, “Thank you, Xiao Lan.
I’ll give you something good to eat later.”
Xiao Jian shamelessly leaned over, indicating that he wanted a pet too.
He was then deterred by a single look from Little Fairy Doctor.
Even the Blue Hawk looked at Xiao Jian with disdain, as if saying, “This human is so shameless.”
Finally, through the joint efforts of the two people and one hawk, the thatched hut was upgraded to a wooden house by noon.
Don’t ask why a hawk was involved; there was no wood in the valley, so it goes without saying who carried it in.
Also, Little Fairy Doctor was a good cook—the food was delicious.
Plus, they didn’t have to wash the dishes afterward.
How wonderful.
