Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 112 When My Hair Reaches My Waist

Evening in the small valley.

Xiao Bai opened his eyes on the boulder, stopped cultivating, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

These past few days, as if by instinct, he has been refining the golden lightning within his body during the day and cultivating the "Heavenly Heart Response Chapter" in his mind at night.

As his soul continued to recover, some images occasionally flashed through his mind, but these images were fragmented and incomplete, filling him with doubt.

Shaking his head without any clue, Xiao Bai stopped thinking about it. These images were becoming more and more numerous, and one day he would remember everything about himself.

Xiao Bai jumped off the boulder and headed towards the thatched hut.

"Are you hungry? Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!" Little Fairy Doctor heard the noise, turned her head, smoothed her falling hair, and smiled gently.

Xiao Bai leaned against the door frame, watching her busy with a smile. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but Little Fairy Doctor never wanted him to lift a finger. Every time he went in, she would push him out, saying that just by looking at him, she knew that going in would only cause her trouble.

However, this girl is indeed very skillful and her cooking skills are excellent. She can make surprisingly delicious dishes with simple ingredients.

Watching her fair, jade-like hands dance gracefully as several fragrant dishes were laid out before her, a sentence suddenly popped into Xiao Bai's mind.

"With delicate hands, she prepares the soup, shyly awaiting your taste!"

He casually recited it aloud, and Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback. Her face flushed slightly, and she gave him a big eye roll, playfully scolding him:

"Dream on!"

This jerk, I thought he'd be a blockhead after losing his memory, but it turns out he's quite romantic.

At the dinner table, Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Bai expectantly: "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Bai was a little surprised. If this girl was so good at cooking, why did he have to ask about her every meal?

However, he did not know that Little Fairy Doctor was afraid that one day, no matter how delicious the food she made was, Xiao Bai would not want to try it.

So every time she saw Xiao Bai eating the food she made herself, she would be very happy and wanted Xiao Bai to praise her so that she could temporarily forget her troubles.

"Not bad! Whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky!" Helpless, Xiao Bai had to change his way of praising. He felt like he was running out of words these past few days and couldn't find any words to directly praise the food.

"Will you marry me?" Little Fairy Doctor stared at him blankly, her eyes somewhat dim. Who would want to share a bed with a poisonous woman whose body is covered in poison?

"What? Afraid no one will want you? Don't worry, a girl as good as you, who wouldn't like you? Even if no one wants you in the end, I'll take the loss and come with me!" Xiao Bai said jokingly when he saw that her expression suddenly became a little down.

"You're the one nobody wants! You stinky little brat!" Little Fairy Doctor gave him a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes and urged him softly, "Hurry up and eat! It's getting cold!"

After dinner, Little Fairy Doctor cleaned everything up, looked at Xiao Bai, and asked hesitantly, "Little Bai, can we skip cultivation tonight?"

Night slowly fell, and not far from the thatched hut in the valley, on a flat rock.

"Did you bring me here to enjoy the night view with you?" Xiao Bai looked at the Little Fairy Doctor sitting on the ground beside him, her jade arms wrapped around her long legs, and felt a little helpless.

He had initially thought that Little Fairy Doctor wanted to see him about something, but he didn't expect that after the girl pulled him here and sat down, she would remain silent.

"Little Bai, let me tell you a story!" Little Fairy Doctor looked at him with her bright eyes, her voice ethereal and distant, carrying a faint sadness.

Before Xiao Bai could answer, Little Fairy Doctor spoke softly with a look of reminiscence in her eyes: "There was a quiet little village with about twenty households. There were no cultivators there, and the villagers worked at sunrise and rested at sunset."

"There was an old man in the village who was very skilled in medicine and was highly respected by the villagers, who called him the 'Medical Immortal.' Later, the old man adopted a baby girl, and from then on, the grandfather and granddaughter depended on each other for survival!"

"As the baby girl grew up, influenced by the old man, she also developed a love for healing and saving lives. The old man then passed on all his medical skills to her, and the little girl studied very diligently, mastering them in just a few years!"

"But there was one thing the old man was adamant about not letting the little girl touch poison. Once, when the little girl went up the mountain to collect herbs, she found a rare herb and came back to show it off to her grandfather. But the old man not only showed no joy, but also lost his temper with the little girl for the first time in his life. The little girl was terrified at the time. She didn't know why, and she cried all night in grievance!"

At this point, Little Fairy Doctor seemed a little nostalgic, staring blankly at the night sky, her eyes slightly red, but a smile on her lips.

"It wasn't until the next day, when the somewhat weary old man earnestly told her that it was a poisonous herb and she absolutely must not touch it! But he didn't tell her why!"

"The little girl was very obedient; she trusted her grandfather and never touched poison again!"

"Later, Grandpa got old and could no longer treat people, so the little girl took over his place and started treating the villagers. Her medical skills were excellent, and to thank her, the villagers gave her a name after the old man. The little girl was very happy!"

The little girl was very proud of this, but the worst thing a doctor can do when trying to save lives is to be arrogant. To teach his granddaughter a lesson, the old man told her about the profession of alchemist. Only then did the little girl realize that there are always people more skilled than herself, and from then on, she greatly admired the magical alchemists the old man had described!

"The little girl was very naive at the time, thinking that with her talent, becoming an alchemist wouldn't be difficult at all. When her grandfather heard this, he just looked at her with loving eyes and didn't discourage her!"

"Days passed by like this. The little girl took care of her grandfather while also treating people's illnesses. Every time she heard the words of gratitude after healing someone and saw the old man's gratified gaze, she felt that everything was worthwhile!"

"The little girl's days were busy and fulfilling. She thought life would continue like this forever, but one day, when the little girl woke up, she found... she found that the old man was gone!" Her voice choked with emotion, and crystal tears slid down her fair face.

Xiao Bai sighed softly, gently put his arm around her somewhat thin shoulders, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on her face.

Little Fairy Doctor rested her head on Xiao Bai's shoulder, sniffed, and calmed herself down.

After the old man left, life returned to normal. The little girl continued to treat the sick and save lives as before, but the seed of becoming an alchemist in her heart was also taking root and sprouting. She wanted to leave the small mountain village and learn that magical art of alchemy!

Little Fairy Doctor didn't continue speaking. She leaned on Xiao Bai's shoulder, looking a little tired. The craving for poison was constantly eroding her soul.

She felt that she was about to give up!

Once she starts taking the poison, that will be the time for her to leave. She doesn't want Xiao Bai to see her taking the poison.

So tonight she wanted Xiao Bai to stay with her and tell her her ordinary story. No matter what happens in the future, he will only remember the little fairy doctor who wanted to become an alchemist and heal the sick, not the poison woman that everyone feared.

"Little White, I'm so cold!" Little Fairy Doctor said softly with her eyes closed.

Xiao Bai felt her slender body trembling slightly. He reached out his other hand and slipped it under her knees, pulling her into his arms and wrapping his arms around her slim waist.

Little Fairy Doctor did not open her eyes, letting Xiao Bai do as he pleased. After he pulled her into his arms, she stretched out her two jade arms to hug his neck, buried her pretty face in Xiao Bai's neck, and stopped talking.

Time passed slowly, and Xiao Bai noticed that the girl in his arms was breathing steadily, as if she had fallen asleep. He thought of getting up to carry her to the bed to rest.

Just then, Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly, "Little White!"

"When my hair grows long enough to reach my waist, will you marry me?"

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, unsure whether she was talking in her sleep or speaking to him.

However, his intuition was extremely sharp, and he noticed that Little Fairy Doctor's heartbeat had accelerated slightly, so he immediately knew the answer.

After a long silence, feeling the person in his arms begin to tremble slightly, he said softly but firmly, "Okay!"

As soon as the word was uttered, Xiao Bai felt the hands around his neck tighten, and a faint smile seemed to appear on Little Fairy Doctor's lips.
