Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 47 Little Medical Fairy

early morning,

Monster Mountain Range, Green Mountain Town
At this moment, inside the medical clinic called 'Wan Yao Zhai', a woman dressed in a light white dress was carefully sitting in front of the examination table, treating the injuries and illnesses of the mercenaries who came for treatment.

As the town's most outstanding doctor, she was affectionately known as Little Fairy Doctor by the locals.

Although Xiao Yixian's appearance cannot be described as the most stunning beauty, she has a delicate and slender waist, wears a white dress, and has an otherworldly temperament. In particular, after years of studying medicine, she has naturally acquired the unique temperament of a physician, which always gives people a sense of security from the inside out.

"Remember to take your medication on time. Just stay home and recover this month. Don't take on any missions..."

The Little Fairy Doctor's voice was very gentle.

Her medical skills were superb, and her attitude was gentle, which made the usually fierce and ruthless mercenary on the other side extremely respectful and grateful in her presence.

"Thank you very much, Little Fairy Doctor," the injured mercenary said gratefully.

"You're welcome…"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently at the mercenaries' gratitude. Her kind smile, which she always showed when treating the wounded, was as refreshing as a spring breeze and could heal people's hearts, just like her medical skills.

"Little Fairy Doctor, the mercenaries protecting the herb-gathering team have all gathered, and everyone is waiting for you." After examining the last patient, Lifi, the assistant outside the door, walked in and said.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor immediately put down her work, smiled, and said, "I understand. Let's set off now."

Saying,

Little Fairy Doctor walked to a corner, put a small hoe into the bamboo basket used for collecting herbs, then carried the basket on her back and walked out of the gate of Wanyaozhai.

Dozens of mercenaries and the herb-gathering team from Wan Yao Zhai were already waiting outside. When they saw Little Fairy Doctor come out, they all greeted her warmly.
"Good morning, Little Fairy Doctor!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly and responded softly to their greetings: "Thank you all for your help this time in the mountains to gather herbs."

"With our Bloodbath Mercenary Group here, we guarantee Little Fairy Doctor and you will return safely!" one of the mercenary captains shouted with great pride.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently and said, "Then I'll have to trouble everyone..."

Then, with a command from Little Fairy Doctor,
This joint herb-gathering team, composed of the Blood War Mercenary Group and the Wan Yao Zhai, set off in a grand procession into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.

The Monster Mountain Range, with its verdant peaks stretching endlessly, resembles a lurking dragon. Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the road.

The group entered a dense primeval forest. Occasionally, the roars of wild beasts could be heard, but they did not affect the group's progress. The mercenaries held weapons and looked around warily, while the disciples of Wan Yao Zhai carried bamboo baskets and were protected in the middle.

As the group ventured deeper into the Monster Mountain Range, the surrounding scenery gradually became more treacherous.

The mercenaries protecting the herb-gathering team kept scanning the shadows among the tall trees with wary eyes, their hands gripping the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

These veteran mercenaries, who had been in the Monster Mountain Range for many years, were able to maintain a basic understanding of each other. In the exchange of glances, they could also discern signals of danger and safety from each other's eyes.

In the center of the group, the delicate Little Fairy Doctor in her white dress seemed to be surrounded by a throng of stars.

After a full day's journey and several attacks by low-level magical beasts, the group finally stopped just before entering the inner part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Everyone, we're almost at the herb-gathering area. Please take a short rest. You've all walked for so long, you must be tired..." Little Fairy Doctor's clear and gentle voice rang out in the group.

The procession paused slightly, and everyone stopped in unison. These mercenaries, who usually had fierce and menacing faces, seemed as docile as lambs in front of the delicate and beautiful woman in the white dress, and all nodded.

After a brief discussion,

A dozen or so mercenaries quickly spread out to guard the area, while the others sat down to recover their strength from the long journey. "Let's set up camp here. The herb-gathering teams will split up to collect herbs, and remember to be careful when picking them."

Little Fairy Doctor turned around and smiled softly at the crowd.

Hearing her speak,
The surrounding mercenaries immediately responded loudly and began setting up their camp with great enthusiasm.

After setting up their base, the herb-gathering team from Wan Yao Zhai dispersed, each carrying a bamboo basket for gathering herbs, and began exploring the surrounding area to collect them.

Little Fairy Doctor, also carrying a bamboo basket, walked alone through a tall, dense forest, her gaze sweeping over a cliff at the edge of a plateau.

"This place...I don't think I've ever been here before..."

Upon seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
Unbeknownst to her, she had arrived at a steep cliff, where the scenery was extremely beautiful, with clouds and mist swirling around, like a fairyland on earth.

After thinking for a while, she still went to the edge of the cliff and looked at the steep cliff face, because some precious medicinal herbs, such as Ganoderma lucidum, mostly grow in such dangerous places on cliffs.

After a while

On that steep cliff, a blue Ganoderma lucidum caught the attention of Little Fairy Doctor.

“Ice Lingzhi, it seems to be quite old…” Little Fairy Doctor has excellent eyesight and recognized the special medicinal herb.

Cliffs and steep walls, with fierce winds.
Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, Little Fairy Doctor carefully tied herself to a rope and climbed down the cliff, her movements light and steady, as if she had become one with the treacherous environment.

As a seasoned physician, collecting herbs on steep cliffs is naturally a piece of cake for Little Fairy Doctor. Years of experience in collecting herbs have made her accustomed to this challenging task.

This is why, although the profession of physician is not as noble as that of alchemist, Little Fairy Doctor is still respected by those mercenaries.

"It's over a hundred years old..."

Using a rope, Little Fairy Doctor stepped onto a protruding rock on the cliff face, took out her small hoe, and gently dug away the soil next to the Ice Spirit Mushroom.

Harvesting medicinal herbs is a skilled job. It requires careful digging to avoid damaging the roots and stems of the herbs. Most people cannot do this kind of meticulous work, so it can only be done by experienced doctors.

"Crack!"

suddenly,

Just as Little Fairy Doctor finished picking the Ganoderma lucidum with complete concentration and put it into the bamboo basket, the stone under her feet suddenly broke off from the cliff. Caught off guard, her frail body lost its balance, causing her to stumble and fall off the edge of the cliff.

"Eh!"

Just then, the rope suddenly snapped.
Fear, helplessness, despair... all sorts of emotions flashed through Little Fairy Doctor's mind, but she didn't have time to think about them. She could only close her eyes tightly and wait for the judgment of fate.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, a pair of arms held her tightly, and an inexplicable force cushioned the impact of her fall, after which she landed in a soft and warm embrace.

The girl was still somewhat shaken. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful face with a slightly heroic air. It was a pretty woman with silver hair that reached her waist. Her red eyes had a deep tranquility, like a fairy under the moon, which was stunning.

"Are you OK?"

The silver-haired woman asked softly, her voice as clear as a stream in a valley.

Little Fairy Doctor stared at her, somewhat lost in thought. When she came to her senses, she murmured unconsciously:
"I'm fine... Sister..."
