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

Chapter 65 Next Stop - The Capital
Small valley
Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, scattering across the small valley. The nearby stream was crystal clear, its waters babbling softly, as if draping this tranquil paradise in a golden veil.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh scent of herbs and a faint aroma of medicine.

at this time,

A young girl wearing an apron and a light green cloth tied around her head, looking like a beautiful village girl, stood in the medicinal herb field, bent over, her slender and graceful hands skillfully working in the field.

This is none other than the Little Fairy Doctor who has returned from gathering herbs in the mountains.

Since Xiao Yue left the valley, she has moved here permanently, occasionally going to Qingshan Town to practice medicine.

At this moment, she was focused and serious, as if the whole world was condensed in this small medicinal field. Sometimes she carefully pulled up weeds, and sometimes she gently stroked the growing medicinal herbs.

"Wow!"

suddenly,

A clear eagle cry pierced the tranquil sky as a huge blue falcon flew in from afar, its wings gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

The blue eagle slowly landed beside the path.

Little Fairy Doctor approached the Blue Eagle, reached out and gently stroked its smooth feathers, a gentle smile on her face.

"Xiao Lan, don't be naughty. Don't ruin the medicinal herb field your sister left behind. If your sister comes back and sees you've destroyed her medicinal herb field, she'll be angry..." Little Fairy Doctor said softly, her voice gentle and kind.

Upon hearing this, Blue Eagle obediently lowered its head and gently pecked Little Fairy Doctor's hand with its beak.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded in satisfaction. She knew that Xiao Lan would not do such a thing, but she still couldn't help but remind her, because this was the medicinal field left to her by her sister.

She turned around and went back to work in the herb field, while Blue Eagle quietly stood guard by her side, her eyes always fixed on Little Fairy Doctor, as if she were protecting her at all times.

Time passes slowly,
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's forehead. She stopped what she was doing, gently wiped the sweat with her sleeve, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun was gradually setting in the west.

"It's time to prepare dinner."

Little Fairy Doctor murmured to herself.

She packed up her tools, dusted herself off, and walked along the path, with the blue eagle following closely behind. They crossed the path and arrived at a few thatched huts.

Although the hut was small, it was decorated very warmly. Little Fairy Doctor went inside and began preparing dinner, while Blue Eagle stood outside, watching her work quietly through the window.

Although such days were ordinary for Little Fairy Doctor, she was content with them.

Although she often gazed at the silver moon in the sky at night, longing for a sister whose temperament was as gentle as that silver moon…

As night deepened, the moonlight, like water, bathed the entire small house.

The bright moon rises high,

As usual, Little Fairy Doctor rested her chin on her hand, sitting by the window, gazing blankly at the moon. It seemed that as long as she looked up at the same silver moon, it was as if that gentle voice was still in her ears, as if they had never been separated.

suddenly,

As if sensing something, she turned her head to look at a distant mountain peak, where there stood a solitary little pavilion, seemingly existing specifically to wait for someone.

under the moonlight,
The small pavilion was exceptionally quiet, deserted, and no sound broke the tranquility.

A strange sense of anticipation welled up in Little Fairy Doctor's heart. However, as time went by, this anticipation gradually turned into disappointment. She sighed softly, withdrew her gaze, and looked somewhat dejected.

……

……

...on the other side,
Xiao Yue stood quietly on the pavilion, letting the night breeze gently caress her long, silver hair, her gaze softly fixed on the small valley below.

"Aren't you going down to say hello to her?"

beside,

Yun Yun asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of amusement, seemingly curious about Xiao Yue's actions.

Xiao Yue turned her head slightly, a deep light flashing in her blood-red eyes. She gently shook her head and said, "No, I just came to take a look and then leave. Meeting again would only add to the sadness..."

"Speaking of which, is she yours...?"

Yun Yun asked again, seemingly with some curiosity.

"A younger sister who left a deep impression on me. I met her by chance, and she could be considered my student. I was just a little worried, so I came to check on her before leaving..." Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

Saying,

She then turned to leave.

Yun Yun nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The two figures gradually disappeared into the night under the moonlight.

In the small valley below,
Little Fairy Doctor remained quietly seated by the window, gazing at the moon. She seemed to sense the gaze she had been receiving earlier, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

……

"What are your plans next?"

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yue beside her and asked.

The two walked quietly through the mountains and forests, the moonlight shining on them like water, adding to the tranquility of the quiet night.

"My weapon was eaten by the Spider Queen. I plan to find a master weapon refiner to forge a suitable weapon first, and then cross the desert on the eastern border. From there, I will travel to the northwestern countries..." Xiao Yue thought for a moment and then said.

It has been four or five months since she appeared in Wutan City, and her goal of crossing the Monster Mountain Range has come to an end. Logically speaking, her next stop should be the border, crossing the notoriously hot desert in the Northwest Continent, where the environment is even more harsh.

but,

The harsher the environment, the more she likes it!

“You want weapons made? I know a very famous weapon master in the capital. His weapon-making skills are the best in the entire empire. If you don’t mind, I can help you get him to make weapons for you personally…” Yun Yun said.

Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence. In that case, I'll trouble you." Xiao Yue said softly.

"It's no trouble at all. I was planning to go to the capital anyway, so I might as well introduce you to someone."

"However, you'll need to prepare the materials yourself. The other party might have a strange temper; if the materials aren't extremely rare and precious, he might not even bother to look at them," Yun Yun said with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the materials..."

Xiao Yue's lips curled up slightly.
She raised the storage ring on her slender, jade-like hand, inside which sat the seven- or eight-meter-long amethyst winged lion king's horn, which was now quietly placed.

Yun Yun instantly understood. Although it was her spoils, since Xiao Yue had picked it up, it naturally belonged to her. So she didn't dwell on who owned the unicorn horn...

The two smiled at each other and continued on their way.

under the moonlight,
Their shadows stretched long, as if they were about to reach the horizon. After spending some time together, the two had developed a tacit understanding.
