This was Chen Xiao's third time in Green Mountain Town. Unlike the previous two times, he had a little girl with him.
Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, Chen Xiao was surprised to find it exceptionally busy today.
Not only was the girl in the white dress swamped, but the other physicians were also running around frantically. Mercenaries with injuries filled the main hall, and even the open space in the backyard of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion was packed with injured people waiting for treatment.
Chen Xiao and Qing Lin stood outside and listened for a while before learning the reason.
It turned out that the Mad Lion Mercenary Group and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had engaged in a large-scale conflict for some unknown reason, leading to this scene.
"Young Master, are we still going in?"
"Let's wait a bit."
Standing across from the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion to wait, Chen Xiao noticed the little girl was curious about his purpose for being here. He didn't hide anything and briefly told her about his training experience here and the girl in the white dress he had met.
While they were chatting and laughing, the two saw the Little Fairy Doctor squeezing out of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, holding a pile of bottles, jars, and bandages. It seemed she was going to treat the injured waiting in the backyard.
Her clear eyes swept across the street. When her gaze fell upon the handsome young man and the girl in green across the way, a hint of surprise flashed across the Little Fairy Doctor's face. She quickly broke into a smile upon seeing a friend and raised her right hand, ready to greet them.
However, as soon as she raised her right hand, she belatedly realized that the bottles, jars, and bandages in her arms had lost their support and were starting to fall uncontrollably.
For a moment, Chen Xiao saw the gentle and meticulous girl's pretty face show a panicked expression for the first time.
She quickly retracted her right hand, trying to catch the falling items in a flurry, like a juggler.
Unfortunately, her heart was willing, but her strength was insufficient. Even with all her might, several bottles of medicinal powder were still about to shatter.
Just then, a figure brought with it an ice-blue stream of light and arrived at a speed that left the Little Fairy Doctor dumbfounded. He reached out and steadily caught the falling bottles.
"Is this a rehearsed greeting? It's certainly unique."
Returning the small bottles to the girl so she could hold them steadily, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate to give her a thumbs-up, teasing with a smile.
The Little Fairy Doctor gave him a look that was half-annoyed, half-playful, and her signature gentle smile returned.
"It's a bit busy today. It might take at least another hour before things calm down."
"No problem, you just focus on your work. I'll tell you something after you're done."
The Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently. Just as she was about to say something more, the sounds of pain from the injured in the back of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion reached them.
Seeing this, the Little Fairy Doctor could only offer an apologetic smile and, under Chen Xiao's gaze, gracefully departed.
"Young Master, is she the Little Fairy Doctor? Qing Lin feels like she's different from everyone else in town. Just one look leaves a deep impression."
Returning to the opposite side, Qing Lin asked curiously.
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded.
The Little Fairy Doctor had once said that Chen Xiao's appearance and demeanor were out of place among the rough mercenaries in town.
Little did she know, she herself was the same.
Her figure was graceful and light, she had a pair of bright eyes that were good at smiling and also good at showing anger, and a pair of shallow dimples that were suitable for joy and also for annoyance...
Without thinking too much, Chen Xiao quietly waited with Qing Lin, witnessing mercenaries in pain leaving with smiles after having their bandages wrapped. He also witnessed the girl in the white dress going in and out, like a busy butterfly, constantly moving between the main hall and the backyard, her face filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. As the Little Fairy Doctor had predicted, the busy Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion gradually became quiet.
The Little Fairy Doctor stood at the entrance and waved slightly. Only then did Chen Xiao get up with Qing Lin and walk towards her.
"You've waited a long time. Didn't you go to Tagor for training? Why are you back so soon?"
The Little Fairy Doctor led the two into the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, but didn't stop in the main hall, heading straight for the room on the second floor.
It was only then that she had time to properly look at the lovely girl Chen Xiao had brought back, feeling a bit curious.
"Thanks to your good wishes back then, this trip was very smooth and fruitful, so I came back early."
As they talked, they quickly arrived at the Little Fairy Doctor's residence.
The room wasn't large, but it was very elegant, clean, and tidy, making one feel happy at first glance.
Only the few medicine bottles placed on the table seemed slightly out of place.
"You two sit down for a bit, I'm going to wash my face."
Her greeting was quite casual, showing that she truly considered Chen Xiao a friend.
Chen Xiao nodded in agreement. As the Little Fairy Doctor got up to fetch water, he reached out to help her tidy the medicine bottles on the table.
Qing Lin, who had been by his side for many days, had already noticed this issue. Without waiting for Chen Xiao to act, she had already neatly arranged the medicine bottles.
They exchanged a look and both smiled.
Perfect!
They didn't have to wait long. In less than three minutes, the Little Fairy Doctor returned.
Having washed away the fine beads of sweat from her face, her naturally pretty face looked even more refined.
Pulling out a chair and sitting down, the Little Fairy Doctor first looked at the well-behaved Qing Lin.
"This little sister is..."
"Qing Lin. I met her during my training in Tagor. She has no one to rely on, and I'm alone, so it's just right for us to depend on each other."
Chen Xiao took over the conversation and replied.
The Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently, not pressing further.
"You said earlier you were looking for me about something?"
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, then took out the Seven-Colored Poison Manual from his Storage Ring, a manual he had long since memorized, and handed it to her.
"While I was training before, I obtained this poison manual. Through the records within, I learned of a special physique called the Woeful Poison Body."
The Little Fairy Doctor quickly flipped through the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
Aside from the last volume detailing the Woeful Poison Body, Chen Xiao had already told her all the various poison recipes in the preceding volumes, in batches.
Curiously, she turned to the last volume. When she saw the description of the Woeful Poison Body that Chen Xiao had mentioned, the Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed uncontrollably, her smile gradually becoming strained.
The Woeful Poison Body, born of woe, dies of woe.
The owner of this poison body has a thin, seven-colored hidden line on their lower abdomen. This seven-colored hidden line grows with the concentration of poison power contained within the body. When the seven-colored line extends to the heart, it is the Woeful Poison Body's strongest moment.
At the same time, the owner will suffer the pain of ten thousand poisons gnawing at their body!
The Little Fairy Doctor unconsciously reached for her lower abdomen. Indeed, there was such a seven-colored hidden line there.
But she quickly snapped back to reality, forcing a relaxed gaze at Chen Xiao, as if asking, How did you know there's this seven-colored hidden line on my lower abdomen?
Chen Xiao had certainly never seen it, but to give a reasonable explanation, he really had to take the blame for this.
"A few years ago, I was injured on my back. You leaned over to check, and your movements were a bit large..."
The Little Fairy Doctor remembered that incident, but couldn't recall if her movements were really that large at the time.
However, this explanation was plausible.
Nodding slightly, the Little Fairy Doctor didn't dwell on it, her fingertips tracing the poison manual.
"So, it's called the Woeful Poison Body..."
She had never told anyone that she had always known her body was abnormal.
Because, in her childhood, she had an unforgettable experience.
It was a painful past she didn't want to recall.
Until today, she finally knew the reason.
"Little Fairy Doctor Sister, don't be scared. Special physiques aren't that bad. Young Master said that Qing Lin has the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils, which is also a special physique."
Qing Lin, who didn't know the truth, offered comfort, thinking that the Woeful Poison Body was like the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils, beneficial and harmless.
The Little Fairy Doctor took another look at Qing Lin, and remembered what Chen Xiao had said earlier, that Qing Lin was alone and helpless.
In an instant, she felt empathy for Qing Lin's past.
"It seems we are both equally pitiful."
Hearing this, Qing Lin shook her head, her answer full of certainty.
"Qing Lin is not pitiful. On the contrary, Qing Lin feels she is the luckiest person in the world!"
