Take me to introduce me to your boss, Yao, later. I plan to stay at Ten Thousand Medicines Hall for a few days."
Her cheeks twitched, then a wry smile appeared.
"Can you not stay?"
Xiao Yan chuckled, "What's there to fear? I'm not going to eat you."
She muttered softly, "With the way you act, I really am scared."
Yet even as Xiao Yan stood there calmly, she realized he was unlikely to leave.
With his strength, even Ten Thousand Medicines Hall itself wouldn't refuse him.
Still, despite his domineering ways, there was something about his warm eyes that made her hesitate.
The longer she looked, the more she wondered if she had truly known him before.
After a moment, she relaxed slightly. Walking gracefully, she approached the mercenaries on the ground.
"Sorry, everyone, for letting you take a beating for me."
She retrieved some medicine to tend their wounds.....but then several small jade bottles suddenly appeared in front of the downed mercenaries.
"I'm sorry for earlier. But you started it, didn't you?" Xiao Yan said, shrugging helplessly.
"Each bottle contains three First-Rank Rejuvenation Pills. Consider it a little compensation from me."
The mercenaries were stunned. Three real pills? From a boy?
Such compensation could easily cover months of their income.
Little Doctor Fairy looked at him, astonished.
You… you're an alchemist?"
Xiao Yan simply smiled.
Xiao Yan paused for a moment at Little Doctor Fairy's hint of doubt, then gave a gentle smile and nodded.
Although he still preferred to stay low-key, he now had enough control over his strength that there was no reason to hide it.
Moreover, this woman was not just anyone. In the long years ahead, they might be spending a lot of time together.
Even though his agreement seemed casual, it was enough to make Little Doctor Fairy and those around them gasp in astonishment.
An alchemist.....a profession among the most respected on the Dou Qi Continent.
Even a First-Rank Alchemist could cause a stir in Utan City.
In a small place like Qingshan Town,
encountering one was a rare event indeed.
Most of the town's residents had probably never even seen a genuine First-Rank Elixir, let alone a practicing alchemist.
That was why, when Xiao Yan casually handed out the pills, the onlookers gazed with envy at the fallen mercenaries.
But it wasn't just his alchemist status that
shocked them.....it was his youthful face.
Despite Xiao Yan's calm, mature demeanor, his appearance clearly showed he had not yet reached adulthood.
Someone so young already a practicing alchemist? Impossible.
Little Doctor Fairy's small mouth opened slightly in surprise.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, she finally regained her composure.
"Let's go, Master Alchemist. I'll inform Boss Yao and get a guest room ready for you."
She shot a glance at Xiao Yan,
her eyes tinged with admiration.
After having the fallen mercenaries helped up, she led Xiao Yan inside Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
Watching their retreating figures, the mercenaries and townsfolk exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what to say.
"Bastard!"
Mu Li, still spitting blood, seethed with anger. For someone who had long coveted Little Doctor Fairy, Xiao Yan's presence brought an unprecedented sense of threat.
This was a danger he had never experienced before.
How dare you stir trouble in Qingshan Town.....you're dead meat."
As Mu Li raged in his mind, a mercenary's shout from a distance caught his attention.
"He just said his name is Xiao Yan! That boy's name is Xiao Yan!"
The surrounding mercenaries froze, eyebrows knitting as they listened. After a moment, one of them spoke with a trembling voice.
"The Empire's prodigy everyone's been talking about recently… seems to be called Xiao Yan."
"Could it be… he's the youngest alchemist in the Empire's history?"
Hearing this, the other mercenaries exchanged looks of disbelief.
Mu Li, now supported by the two wolf-head mercenaries, turned pale as he realized the truth.
So… you truly are the Empire's legendary young alchemist, the one everyone's been talking about?"
Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, the largest pharmacy in Qingshan Town, extended far beyond the front area.
