I'll go! I'll go!" came her flustered voice. Little Doctor Fairy's cheeks flushed as she glared at him.
Although she knew Xiao Yan was deliberately creating opportunities to be near her, the lure of the treasure lair was irresistible.
After all, she was a girl under twenty, adventurous and curious like any young woman.
Moreover, she didn't harbor any aversion toward Xiao Yan in her heart.
"Good. Then get some rest," Xiao Yan said, waving before returning to his room.
But just as he closed the door, he turned back and gave her a gentle smile.
"Good night."
Watching him disappear from view, Little Doctor Fairy sighed softly.
"Good night," she whispered to herself.
That night, she had trouble sleeping. Tossing and turning, her thoughts inexplicably returned to the boy.
"
This guy… his performance today was so extraordinary, I imagine many sensitive people would be kept awake by him tonight."
After lighting a calming incense, she finally drifted into a drowsy sleep, entering a dream full of soft light.
In the haze of the dream, warmth enveloped her. A pair of gentle, dark eyes appeared before her.
"Why is it you again?" she murmured, feeling an odd mix of frustration and longing.
Suddenly, she awoke, sunlight stinging her eyes. Sitting up, she sighed.
"What a persistent ghost of a boy," she muttered, shaking her head.
As she left Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, she found Xiao Yan already waiting among the mercenaries, leaning casually against a tree, a blade of grass in his mouth, smiling brightly.
Not him again!"
Little Medic Immortal's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the boy standing under the warm sunlight, a radiant smile on his face.
With a helpless shake of her head, she turned and walked toward the mercenary group.
The team had almost everyone gathered, and after a short while, the thirty-plus mercenaries finally began their march into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountains.
Xiao Yan walked alongside Little Medic
Immortal, hands casually clasped behind his head, basking in the warm sunlight.
His carefree aura was impossible to ignore.
"You look so relaxed. Tell me.....are you here to train or just on vacation?"
Little Medic Immortal sighed softly. To remain so calm and self-assured in these perilous mountains… at the very least, his confidence was enviable.
"I'm relaxed because I know I can handle anything these beasts throw at us.
No magical creature here can threaten our safety."
Xiao Yan casually spat out a piece of grass dangling from his mouth and let out a soft laugh.
Their closeness did not go unnoticed by the mercenaries, but none dared comment.
In the Dou Qi Continent, strength determined respect. Within this mercenary group, power spoke louder than words.
Though a few mercenaries felt a twinge of envy, Xiao Yan's reputation and the display of his abilities yesterday made them wisely keep quiet.
Everyone knew he was not someone they could afford to provoke.
Among them, a few older mercenaries glanced at the pair with warmth.
Having watched Little Medic Immortal grow up, they treated her like a younger sister or niece.
Seeing a remarkable young man showing such clear interest in her, they couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Compared to Mu Li, Xiao Yan's excellence was on an entirely different level.
In talent, background, and even personality, the two could not be compared.
For Little Medic Immortal, meeting Xiao Yan was undoubtedly a fortunate event.
"Hey, where's your deputy leader? Why didn't that sly snake follow?"
Xiao Yan sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from Little Medic Immortal as he glanced at two mercenaries from the Wolf-Head Mercenary Group.
Based on his memory of Mu Li's behavior, the deputy leader should have appeared by now, trying to provoke him.
"Ah?"
"Our deputy leader is recovering. The leader didn't allow him to come."
Hearing Xiao Yan call their deputy leader a "sly snake," the mercenaries twitched at the corners of their mouths but dared not speak further after witnessing his strength firsthand.
Looks like Mu Snake isn't completely foolish."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly. After hearing his reputation, Mu Snake had shown an unusually low-key demeanor this time.
Clearly, a mercenary leader with brains.
Having been reborn, Xiao Yan was too lazy to concern himself with minor annoyances.
If others didn't provoke him, he wouldn't create unnecessary enem
ies.
