After leaving the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair, Ye Chen asked Yaochen to lead him toward the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
He wasn't sure when Yun Yun would come here, so naturally, he wouldn't waste time waiting around.
"Yaochen, you'll have to work a bit harder these days. Keep sensing the situation within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If there's a battle between powerful experts, notify me immediately."
Ye Chen instructed Yaochen.
With Yaochen's strong soul power, monitoring this region of the mountains was an easy task.
"Oh, and check where the Myriad Medicines Hall's herb-collecting team is right now."
Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Little Doctor Fairy, who had already entered the mountains to gather herbs, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Since he had time to spare, he might as well meet her first.
"Yes, Master."
Yaochen nodded, releasing a wave of soul power that quickly swept across the outer regions of the mountains.
"Master, I've found them!"
Moments later, Yaochen slowly opened his eyes, pointed in a certain direction, and spoke.
"Take me there."
Ye Chen's face lit up with joy. Following the guidance of Yaochen's soul power, he quickly headed in that direction.

Inside a quiet forest, a large group moved cautiously. Pairs of vigilant eyes swept over the shadows between the trees, hands tightly gripping the weapons at their waists, ready to respond to any sudden danger.
This was a mercenary team. Among them were several men and women in the work uniforms of the Myriad Medicines Hall, the herb collectors, who were being protected by the mercenaries.
These were veteran mercenaries who had roamed the mountains for years. They moved with practiced coordination, exchanging subtle glances that conveyed warnings or safety signals without a word.
At the center of the group, like the stars surrounding the moon, walked a woman in a white dress.
Her attire was simple and elegant. Though her looks couldn't be called peerless beauty, she was undoubtedly a rare sight—fresh, refined, and radiating an otherworldly air. This unique aura greatly enhanced her charm.
At this moment, the delicate beauty slightly straightened her back and brushed the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. The faint panting, paired with her gentle features, made her appear fragile and all the more endearing.
Seeing her like this, several mercenaries felt the impulse to carry her all the way, but they knew full well she would only smile softly and politely refuse.
As everyone's gaze lingered on the white-dressed woman, a handsome young man broke away from the guards at the side and approached her with a smile, speaking to her in a low tone.
They chatted briefly before the Little Doctor Fairy smiled and shook her head, continuing on her way.
Rejected, the young man didn't show the slightest anger. Instead, he smiled faintly, raised his hand, and commanded loudly:
"Wolf Head members, stay sharp! We've entered deep into the mountains—don't let us capsize in a gutter!"
"Yes, Young Captain!"
Dozens of burly men responded in unison, their synchronized shout turning heads throughout the team. Even the white-dressed woman couldn't help but glance back at him.
Satisfied with her reaction, the young man grinned and quickly walked forward again, sticking close to her side with protective eagerness.
"Damn it, just because his father is the head of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, does he really think he can win her heart?"
A mercenary in the back muttered sourly, his voice dripping with jealousy.
On the young man's chest gleamed a badge carved with the head of a one-eyed wolf.
Most of the mercenaries in the team wore the same emblem. They were all members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, one of the three major mercenary groups of Qingshan Town.
The Wolf Head group had been entrusted by the Myriad Medicines Hall to serve as the main guards of this herb-collecting team—proof of the trust placed in them.

Time passed, and eventually the group reached their destination: a sunken basin overflowing with wild medicinal herbs.
Various plants thrived here, their fragrance lingering in the air. Taking a deep breath left one feeling refreshed and at ease.
"Everyone, we've arrived at the herb-collecting site. Please take a short rest—we've been traveling for a long time."
The gentle, melodious voice of the white-dressed woman rang out within the group.
At her words, the team halted in unison. Turning back, they gazed at her pure, sincere smile and nodded obediently.
Soon after, more than a dozen mercenaries spread out to stand guard, while the others sat down to rest, recovering their strength. Meanwhile, the herb-collectors got to work.
---
"That should be the Little Doctor Fairy."
Not far from the basin, in the shadow of a dense forest, Ye Chen's figure emerged.
The woman in white stood out easily. Ye Chen's eyes locked onto her almost immediately.
As the group dispersed, he saw her full appearance clearly: her white dress, her gentle smile, and her air of untainted purity.
His gaze lingered, finally resting on her willow-like waist tied with a green sash—slender enough that it seemed one could encircle it with a single hand. A flicker of amazement flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
Among all the women he had met, Yun Yun was the most enchanting, and the one he desired most.
Nalan Yanran carried the noble elegance of an aristocratic lady.
Xun'er embodied flawless beauty and grace.
Ya Fei was the very image of seductive allure.
Princess Yao Ye radiated icy majesty and regal charm.
But this woman before him—this white-dressed beauty—perhaps had the most delicate, slender waist of them all, paired with an innocent purity unmatched by the others.
"Tsk tsk… no wonder she's one of the most popular heroines in the original story. To not claim such a treasure would be a crime against myself."
Ye Chen inwardly praised, his determination to make the Little Doctor Fairy his growing stronger.
Watching her for a while longer, Ye Chen's lips slowly curled into a smile. A plan had already begun to form in his heart.
