First Encounter with the Little Fairy Doctor

The shocking scene unfolded: a young man, full of vitality, suddenly erupted with anger, spewing colorful language, completely disregarding the eyes of others. Was this the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature?

From a distance, Chen Guan heard it—it was not the sound of the sea crying, but Xiao Yan's voice.

Though a bit curious, it was purely due to the nature of people from the Celestial Empire, who enjoyed watching lively commotions.

Not wasting time, he closed the door and swaggered off, continuing toward his destination.

At the city gate, members of the three great families were conducting inspections. Leading them were three Dou Masters, a large-scale operation. Seeing such a display, even the mercenaries who were used to living on the edge felt uneasy and cooperated honestly.

The three great families held considerable authority in Wutan City.

Too lazy to exchange words, Chen Guan took out a royal token. The three family captains respectfully escorted him out of the city without realizing that he was the very person they had been searching for.

Two days later, in Qingshan Town.

This town was the closest to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and was also known as the Beast Town. This was Chen Guan's destination.

He arrived sooner than he had anticipated, thinking he might encounter some troublemakers along the way.

However, there were none; the journey was surprisingly smooth.

Due to its geographical location, the shops along the streets of Qingshan Town were bustling with activity. It was nighttime, but the streets were still brightly lit, with a constant flow of people. Their loud conversations could be heard everywhere, with coarse language often on their lips, and vulgar references to women in nearly every sentence.

Seeing a new face—a young man in green—many people exchanged meaningful glances.

Chen Guan ignored them, observing his surroundings as he walked. Eventually, he stopped in front of a medicinal shop called "Thousand Medicine Pavilion" and stepped inside.

The Thousand Medicine Pavilion was quite large, with wide spaces and rows of counters, resembling a marketplace.

At an unoccupied counter, Chen Guan pulled out a pouch of gold coins.

"Get me the manager. The business I want to discuss is not small, and I doubt you can make the decision."

The shop assistant felt a bit displeased at being looked down upon but still complied silently, leaving without a word.

"I may not dare to offend you, but I can ignore you!"

While waiting, Chen Guan took the opportunity to scan the shop carefully but didn't see the Little Fairy Doctor.

Just as he thought his luck was bad, there was movement at the top of the stairs. A young girl in a white dress appeared, supporting a mercenary who had one arm and one leg bound, as they descended.

The girl was young, only a few years older than Chen Guan. Though not an outstanding beauty, she had a pleasant, enduring charm, her lips always carrying a gentle, appropriate smile.

Fresh and ethereal, soft as water—that was Chen Guan's first impression.

His eyes involuntarily drifted to the girl's waist. A green belt perfectly highlighted her slim, willow-like figure.

The famed "Little Fairy Doctor" of Battle Through the Heavens indeed lived up to her name!

There was no need to ask how he recognized her. At this moment, in this time and place, who else could it be but her?

Besides, Chen Guan wasn't deaf.

"Ah, it's Little Doctor Fairy!"

"Tonight's my lucky night! I'm going to crush it at the casino. Little Doctor Fairy, look at me!"

Smack—

"You fool! Don't block my view!"

It was like a mini fan event, with far more enthusiasm than most fandoms could muster.

While feeling speechless, Little Doctor Fairy was drawn to the commotion and glanced over, making eye contact with Chen Guan.

The young man's calm and rational demeanor made him stand out amid the boorish crowd.

Chen Guan politely smiled, and Little Doctor Fairy returned it with a barely noticeable nod before heading back upstairs.

Woeful Poison Body!

An extraordinary constitution, like a cheat code. While ordinary people rely on effort and luck to grow stronger, she only needed to consume poisons to quickly increase her power. However, the poison body also had many drawbacks—once it erupted, it would bring devastation, even beyond her control.

It was as if she was destined to live a lonely life. If she didn't find a way to control the poison body, it would one day explode completely.

At that point, she would lose all rationality, becoming a disaster for the continent, and a target for everyone.

Thus, describing the Woeful Poison Body as an enemy of the world wasn't an exaggeration.

Thoughts flashed through Chen Guan's mind, and he formed many ideas.

The poison body was dangerous, but if handled correctly, it could be a great asset.

"Hehe, Little Doctor Fairy is a specially hired physician at Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

Though she hasn't been here long, everyone in Qingshan Town likes her, especially the mercenaries passing through. Many have benefited from her skills, which has made her reputation soar. If anyone speaks ill of her, fights often break out."

Lost in thought, Chen Guan was interrupted by a low chuckle. A middle-aged man with a goatee was explaining things to him.

Chen Guan nodded. He already knew all this, so he didn't show any surprise.

The man, seeing his lack of reaction, assumed Chen Guan wasn't interested in Little Doctor Fairy and didn't mention her again. After all, despite her reputation, not everyone could like her. She wasn't a pill or a coin.

"You seem unfamiliar, sir. This must be your first time in Beast Town. I am Chang Jinfeng, the manager of Thousand Medicine Pavilion. May I ask what business you wish to discuss?"

Chang Jinfeng, a five-star Dou Practitoner, couldn't gauge Chen Guan's strength and acted politely.

Chen Guan didn't bother with small talk and got straight to the point: "I want to buy a batch of Yellow Lotus Essence. I'll take as much as you can get, and I want Thousand Medicine Pavilion to help me procure it. The market price is 100 gold coins per unit. I'll pay you 105. How about it?"

Yellow Lotus Essence, a low-grade medicinal material?

Manager Chang wasn't too interested at first, but after hearing the offer, his eyes brightened.

A few units of Yellow Lotus Essence were insignificant, but in large quantities, the profits would be considerable, especially since Chen Guan was offering above the market price.

This business was easy and lucrative, like a pie falling from the sky.

For a moment, Manager Chang sized up the young man, mentally labeling him as a rich fool. Where did this wealthy heir come from?

Of course, he didn't voice that thought.

"Thousand Medicine Pavilion welcomes all business. Naturally, we won't refuse your offer. Are you sure you'll take as much as we can supply?"

"Rest assured, I won't short you a single coin. Here's 10,000 gold as a deposit.

Afterward, you can deliver the goods to the City Lord's Mansion in the nearby Qingshan City for handover. I'll have the City Lord's Mansion handle it. When I no longer need it, I'll have someone notify you."

Chen Guan casually tossed the gold over, completely at ease.

Unless the other party was foolish, they wouldn't dare seek trouble.

"Understood. Rest assured, sir. Thousand Medicine Pavilion always conducts business fairly."

A guarantee worth listening to, but nothing more.

Having achieved both of his goals, Chen Guan didn't linger. Under the manager's gaze, which labeled him as a naïve rich kid, he turned and left.

His visit to Thousand Medicine Pavilion was a whim; meeting Little Doctor Fairy was the main reason. As for the Yellow Lotus Essence, it was merely a side task. If he could get Blood Lotus Essence by chance, that would be great. If not, it didn't matter.

Just as Manager Chang thought, Chen Guan had many urgent needs at the moment, but money was not a concern. He also had a secondary gold card with a 500,000-gold limit.

At least in the Jia Ma Empire, he wouldn't need to worry about money for a while. He could afford to be so extravagant.

Besides, buying Yellow Lotus Essence wasn't a loss. He could easily resell it to the Mittel Auction House, losing only a small margin.

After finding an inn, Chen Guan sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Little Doctor Fairy isn't going anywhere. There's no rush. It's better to focus on cultivation for now. Though I'm here for treasure, training is also important."
