Seeing Mu Li's infectious smile, Little Fairy Doctor was slightly stunned, then quickly shook her head and said, "I know a valley with many rare herbs. I can take you there."
"Herbal medicine? That's fine, I'll figure it out when I get there."
Muli nodded and continued searching for treasures.
Little Fairy Doctor pouted, watching with displeasure as Mu Li sealed the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" in a bag and tossed it into his storage ring.
"My Seven-Colored Poison Scripture!" Little Fairy Doctor cried out in her heart.
Muli continued collecting the herbs and gold coins, filling his storage ring to the brim.
"Looks like I need to buy a better storage ring."
Muli touched the ring on his hand, feeling extremely satisfied.
A full stash of savings brings a sense of security.
However, money is only useful if it's spent; keeping it in your storage ring is a waste.
Before leaving, Muli kindly buried the skeletal remains underground.
He expressed his gratitude to those who had helped him.
Let's go.
Muli left the cave, with Little Fairy Doctor following closely behind.
After the two climbed to the top of the cliff, Mu Li looked at the other person and asked, "I have some things to do. Are you going back to Wan Yao Zhai or coming with me?"
Little Fairy Doctor paused for a moment, thinking about how her poisonous body had flared up again, and what if she hurt those around her if she went back...
"I follow you."
Muli nodded.
His Pure Lotus Demon Body naturally suppresses the Calamity Poison Body, so Little Fairy Doctor doesn't have to worry about the poison body flaring up when he's by her side.
Mu Li felt a surge of excitement upon recalling the description of the Pure Lotus Demon Body that appeared in his mind.
In addition to purifying all things, the Pure Lotus Demon Body can also efficiently absorb the purified energy, rapidly improving its cultivation level.
This ability is comparable to the Calamity Poison Body, which can enhance cultivation by taking poison.
However, the Calamity Poison Body is at risk of backfiring on itself, while the Pure Lotus Demon Body is not.
If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the things to be purified are relatively hard to find.
However, isn't there the perfect candidate to be purified right in front of us?
Mu Li looked at Little Fairy Doctor, his eyes sparkling.
To others, Little Fairy Doctor is a terrifyingly talented poison master, but to him, she is simply a walking cauldron.
The two walked into the dense forest and arrived at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's encampment.
Looking at the dozen or so mercenaries in front of him, Mu Li nodded secretly; these people were quite good as mercenaries.
They were allowed to stay, and they have remained there ever since.
Even though there had been significant casualties, they chose to carry out their orders.
Unfortunately, I have decided not to return to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group for the time being.
Muli took out paper and pen and wrote down his story of obtaining the treasure inheritance and his preparation to travel to other places to cultivate on his own.
Then he took half of the gold coins from his storage ring and copied the advanced Xuan-rank combat skill "Roar of the Mad Lion," putting them all into a bag.
This is a way of repaying Mu She's favor. He has worked his way up to where he is today by virtue of his position as the young commander. Now that the sky's the limit, he probably won't be coming back to this place for long.
On Mulimon, a figure appeared silently in the camp, placed the package where a trusted confidant could see it, and then disappeared again.
The trusted mercenary quickly noticed the suddenly appearing package and, upon closer inspection, discovered a letter inside.
Take this package back to the mercenary group and give it to my father, Muliu.
"Young Commander!"
The mercenary stared in surprise at the envelope and package. When had the young commander returned?
...
Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor had just finished writing a letter, instructing her companions at Wan Yao Zhai to take the items back to Wan Yao Zhai and deliver them to her father, Yao Xianzhi.
In fact, Yao Xianzhi was Xiao Yixian's adoptive father, but after so many years, Xiao Yixian had long regarded him as her father.
She didn't know how long it would be before they met again, but Little Fairy Doctor was determined that she would never go back to harm her family if she couldn't resolve the hidden dangers of the Calamity Poison Body.
Compared to the pain of killing a loved one, what is separation?
What does it matter if I never see my father again, as long as he is safe and sound?
Mu Li met Little Fairy Doctor and saw sadness in her eyes. He didn't say anything and led her through the mountains.
"Where are you taking me?"
Little Fairy Doctor walked a long way, and her feet ached. Coupled with the injury she had suffered from Mu Li earlier, she was finding it hard to keep up.
"Find a place to cultivate."
Why didn't you say so sooner!
Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her calves, took out a short flute from her pocket, and played a wonderful melody.
Not long after the flute music started, Muli saw a blue eagle fly overhead, pass through the bushes, and land on the open ground in front of him.
"Let's go, let Xiao Lan lead us to the valley, that place is perfect for your cultivation."
Little Fairy Doctor took the lead, preparing to jump onto the bird's back.
But Muli reached out and grabbed her wrist.
What are you doing?
Just in case, I'm afraid of heights.
Muli said calmly.
Little Fairy Doctor blinked and tentatively asked, "You're not afraid I'll throw you down, are you?"
"If you throw me down, I'll pull you down with me."
Little Fairy Doctor pouted, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already. You don't appreciate my kindness."
Mu Li remained silent, thinking to himself that he should quickly learn the Eagle Wings technique during this training so that he could gain air superiority and no longer have to be so careful.
The two rode the Blue Eagle into the sky, Mu Li holding Little Fairy Doctor's hand tightly, watching her movements.
"Isn't it a bit much to be so strict?"
Little Fairy Doctor muttered something, which only made Mu Li grip her even tighter.
"By the way, I still don't know your name. What's your name?"
"My surname is Mu, and my given name is Li."
"Mulli...Mulli?!"
Little Fairy Doctor was startled.
"Not the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, I just share the same name with them."
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's surprised expression, Mu Li calmly explained.
In a sense, he was indeed not Mushe's son.
He was just a stranger from out of town taking the blame.
Having rebuilt his body and acquired a new character template, he has repaid his previous debts. It's likely that he won't have much contact with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group anymore.
"I see."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded without any doubt.
The handsome man in front of them was clearly not the same person as the mercenary Muli; anyone with a basic sense of aesthetics could tell.
"My name is Yao Ziyi. The name 'Little Fairy Doctor' is a compliment from someone else. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Little Fairy Doctor introduced herself.
"Yes, nice to meet you."
Mu Li replied casually, looking at Little Fairy Doctor's cheerful appearance.
This woman is extraordinary.
He had been looking sullen, and after hearing about the outbreak of the poison, he became even more dejected. But as soon as he took off on the bird, he regained his smile.
Mu Li sighed inwardly; he was a pitiful person too.
However, she is truly kind. Despite being injured herself, upon seeing a stranger who had fallen into a coma, her first thought was not to restrain him, but to take care of and treat him.
Maybe I'm too cynical.
Mu Li thought to himself.
He knew he was an absolute bad person, and he would only show a little conscience when he had complete control of the situation.
Little Fairy Doctor was completely different. In Mu Li's eyes, she was just a saint who had nothing better to do than spread kindness.
However, it was precisely because of Xiao Yixian's kindness that Mu Li did not directly enslave her.
I don't know if doing this is the right thing to do.
Looking at the serene smile on Little Fairy Doctor's face as she gazed into the distance, Mu Li silently asked himself a question.
Good people in this world don't usually have a good ending, unless you're very lucky.
Little Fairy Doctor's luck isn't very good, because she's not encountering Xiao Yan now, but herself.
What Muli was about to do was no different from that of a beast.
