In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 56 Leaving Qingshan Town

After all, Little Fairy Doctor is kind-hearted.

Moreover, Muli is only secretly coveting it now, and dares not show it in the open.

Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor did not notice anything amiss.

He then spoke to Xiao Ran,

"Ran-ge, in the end, this whole thing started because of me..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Li was overjoyed, feeling that his personal act of humbly bowing and scraping had not been in vain.

Instead, they heard Little Fairy Doctor say,

"Although it was unnecessary, it was a case of good intentions gone wrong."

"Let's leave it at that, Ran-ge, what do you think?"

"Alright! As you wish."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. Let's leave the Wolf Head experience instance for now!

Emperor Yan is so lucky! To have an elder brother like him who cares so much for him, he would surely cry tears of happiness if he knew!

Wutan City, the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan was refining medicine in a secluded spot on the back mountain.

The old doctor watched with satisfaction as the pale yellow flame formed from the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's hand refined the essence of a medicinal herb.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Excellent! The cooking time was just right today."

"If we can successfully complete the final step of condensing the core, then..."

"Achoo!"

Achoo!

Before Yao Lao could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly sneezed twice in a row.

It took Xiao Yan half a day to refine a few clumps of medicinal liquid in preparation for condensing the core.

In an instant, as the fighting spirit in his hand swelled and shrank, it turned into clumps of black ash.

The old doctor's gratified smile froze instantly.

Looking at Yao Lao in the non-still image, Xiao Yan quickly said,

"Teacher, this isn't my fault. Someone must be talking about me... Maybe it's Ran-ge trying to trick me again!"

The old doctor gave a cold laugh.

"Xiao Ran is still in the Monster Mountain Range, how could he possibly trick you? Huh?"

"As a qualified alchemist, even if it's just a sneeze, or even if knives are falling from the sky and stuck in your head, you have to wait until the pill is fully formed before you try to pull it out!"

"This is the bare minimum of focus required of an alchemist, have you forgotten?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In an instant, a ball of white flame surged from the old doctor's hand and condensed into a fire whip.

"Since your alchemy today was not focused, let's temper the battle qi within your body!"

Actually, it was Xiao Ran who first brought up the concept of corporal punishment for students to Yao Lao.

The doctor has used it a few times and always says it's good!

It was a tough situation for Xiao Yan, who was running away with his head in his hands, dodging and shouting as he looked up.

"Ran-ge, I hate you!"

……

In Qingshan Town.

Xiao Ran waved his hand, and the gold card in Mu Li's hand...

It flew out of his palm without him even realizing it and landed in Xiao Ran's hand.

Xiao Ran held it in his hand and played with it for a while.

He unleashed his fighting spirit, purifying it from the inside out.

Only then was it handed to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Xian'er, take this. You can buy whatever you want to eat in the future."

The young doctor's eyes widened instantly.

This money came way too easily. Is this what a Dou Shi powerhouse is like?

She's never seen so much money in her life.

He shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Ran, I still have the gold coins that Manager Yao gave me. I don't need that much money, so you can keep it."

Looking at the adorable Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Ran smiled and gently scratched the little doctor's delicate nose with his index finger.

"What? You're satisfied with that?"

"After I tell you, there are plenty of gold coins waiting for you to spend."

Little Fairy Doctor said worriedly,

"What will you do if you ever run out of money?"

Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Mu Li on the ground.

Do you think I'd ever lack gold coins?

To Little Fairy Doctor, these words sounded like nothing more than flirting between the two.

But to Muli, it was a profound shock.

Twenty thousand gold coins was a considerable sum for the Hammer Mercenary Group.

That's roughly equivalent to the entire mercenary group's net profit for two or three months.

But according to Xiao Ran,

It's only this little bit of money.

He couldn't help but feel even more awe for Xiao Ran's mysterious identity.

Xiao Ran took Little Fairy Doctor's hand, and the two continued on their way.

Muli immediately collapsed to the ground.

There was no other reason than that Xiao Ran did not release his aura.

But that invisible pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Before he could even catch his breath,

Then he heard Xiao Ran's calm voice, which instantly made his hair stand on end.

Staring in shock at Xiao Ran's retreating figure, he remained speechless for a long time.

"Since you've been somewhat obedient, go back and tell your father to stop here."

"Six months from now, a little fellow named Xiao Yan will come. You should give him a good welcome."

"Yes, yes, yes! Yes! Master Dou Shi! I will certainly comply!"

Mu Li quickly kowtowed to Xiao Ran's retreating figure.

As for the back of Xiao Ran's Little Fairy Doctor, he didn't dare to look at her at all.

……

Xiao Ran led Little Fairy Doctor through Qingshan Town.

Countless mercenaries along the way witnessed this scene.

While everyone was shocked, they were also secretly relieved.

Fortunately, I heeded the warning from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

They did not seek further treatment from the Little Fairy Doctor.

Otherwise, I fear I would have met my end in Qingshan Town today.

Little Fairy Doctor noticed the strange looks from those around her.

Puzzled, he asked,

"Ran-ge, why are they all staring at us like that?"

Xiao Ran laughed.

"Perhaps this is the awe and respect that the weak have for the strong."

Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head.

"But I'm not strong."

Xiao Ran chuckled and shook his head.

"Although you are not a strong person, you are the woman of a strong person, and naturally you should enjoy the treatment that a strong person deserves."

Little Fairy Doctor blushed.

I felt very satisfied.

Xiao Ran's voice came to my ears.

Even if you are not strong now, you can become strong in the future.

"I'm waiting for you to become powerful so I can cling to your coattails."

Little Fairy Doctor blushed and spat out a light remark.

"I think you just don't want to cultivate properly, Ran-ge. Otherwise, with your talent, you'd probably be more than just a Dou Shi by now, right?"

Xiao Ran smiled noncommittally.

"Maybe, who knows?"

When passing by Wanyaozhai

Manager Yao had clearly known the news beforehand and was waiting at the door.

Upon seeing the two arrive hand in hand, he immediately bowed respectfully to Xiao Ran and Little Fairy Doctor.

"Greetings, Master Dou Shi, and Little Fairy Doctor!"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly.

"Manager Yao, you don't need to be so polite."

Upon hearing this address, Xiao Ran frowned.

I thought of the original story, it was this Manager Yao, because of the treasure in the cliff cave.

They joined forces with other mercenaries to pressure Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Ran's invisible pressure on the soul weighed down on Manager Yao, causing large beads of sweat to drip from Manager Yao's forehead, yet he dared not raise his head even slightly.

They were utterly horrified!

Even the Great Dou Master he had the good fortune to witness had never possessed such imposing aura!

Is it...

Manager Yao dared not think any further.

"Ran-ge, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Xiao Ran remained silent, Little Fairy Doctor turned to look at him and asked.

Then he added,

"Let me introduce you. This is Manager Yao. When I was a homeless person, it was Manager Yao who took me in."

Listening to Little Fairy Doctor's words, Xiao Ran knew that people's hearts are unpredictable.

The other party hasn't shown these signs yet, so I guess there won't be another chance in the future.

Forget it, let's leave him alone for now. From now on, it's up to his own fate to see if he'll have another chance to be a minion for Emperor Yan.

At this point in time,

Xiao Ran withdrew his soul power.

Get up!

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, Manager Yao instantly felt the invisible pressure enveloping him dissipate.

He slowly rose and clasped his hands in a more devout and respectful gesture towards Xiao Ran.

"Thank you, sir!"

Manager Yao did not continue to address the other party as "Master Dou Shi," because the other party's realm was beyond his comprehension.

Xiao Ran nodded slightly.

Ignoring Steward Yao, he spoke to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Let's go, otherwise we might not get there before dark."

"Okay, Ran-ge!" Little Fairy Doctor nodded.
