Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 137: Judge Others as You Judge Yourself

"Sorry, I'm here to buy medicine."

Compared to her usual clear and pleasant voice, the Little Medical Fairy's voice at this moment was a bit muddy and low, with no sense of distinction at all. No one could connect the two together.

Hearing this, the male clerk's face, which was slightly impatient, suddenly became more cheerful. He nodded and said, "Please choose for yourself. My Wanyaozhai has just reopened, so we don't have many staff. Just call me when you've chosen the herbs."

After saying this, the male clerk once again looked at the woman in the bamboo hat in front of him, then hurried back to the counter and began to place the purchased medicinal herbs on the shelves.

Looking at the male clerk hurriedly leaving, there was a strange look in Xiao Yixian's eyes.

She had lived in Wanyaozhai for many years and had more or less some understanding of the clerk in charge of the counter. If it were in the past, the clerk would have used the reputation of Wanyaozhai to kick her out, as she was so slow. How could he speak to her in such a nice tone?

It seems that after experiencing such a change, Wanyaozhai's status has indeed plummeted. It has become a vassal of others and naturally no longer has the same transcendent status as before.

Although I know it's my own fault, the memory of having lived here won't fade away so easily. Perhaps only the passage of time can slowly wash it away.
With a complicated sigh, the Little Medical Fairy quickly selected the necessary herbs according to the prescription she remembered.

After several years of immersion in pharmacological knowledge, Xiao Yixian's ability to select the age of medicinal materials has reached a level that is not inferior to that of ordinary alchemists. Coupled with countless experiences of traveling to collect herbs, his vision is even more sophisticated.

Soon, she picked out a few medicinal herbs of good age from the dazzling array of shelves, called the male clerk back, and after a brief conversation, began to ask about the price.

"Yellow Lotus Essence, 180 gold coins, Purple Leaf Mulberry, 260 gold coins, Blood Clotting Grass, 400 gold coins"

After casually quoting the price, the male clerk did some calculations and quickly said, "Miss, the total is 1,700 gold coins."

".So expensive?"

Xiao Yixiang couldn't help but say in surprise that the price of these herbs was nearly half more expensive than she knew. Although these gold coins were not a lot for her, she didn't want to be the one to be ripped off.

The male clerk showed no surprise at Little Medical Immortal's confusion. He put his abacus aside and said, "Judging from your appearance, it must have been a while since you've been in Qingshan Town. Things are different now. Not only has the number of mercenaries been reduced by nearly half, but there are only a handful of doctors left. It would be strange if the prices of medicinal herbs weren't higher than before."

"Since you've come to my Wanyaozhai to buy medicine, you must have heard of the Little Medical Fairy, right? When she was around, it wasn't uncommon for those mercenaries to fight over a spot on the herb-picking team."

"It's a pity that after she left, things are no longer the same as they were before. If we don't raise the price of medicinal herbs, the herb-collecting team probably won't even be able to afford the hiring fee."

Listening to the male clerk's complaints, Xiao Yixian recalled that when she was in Wanyaozhai, every time she joined the herb-picking team, the mercenaries would keep the price to the lowest, greatly reducing the cost of hiring mercenaries.

Her eyes flickered, and she asked hesitantly, "So, do you also want the Little Medical Fairy to come back?"

The male clerk was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. I heard that woman practiced some weird technique and flooded the entire Qingshan Town with poison. I've been hearing mercenaries scolding her so much these days that my ears are already numb."

"That woman has long lost her reputation and can't make money for Wanyaozhai at all. Why would I want her to come back? What's more, she suddenly disappeared later. Maybe she was poisoned to death by her own poison skills."

Little Doctor Fairy lowered her eyes and remained silent. This person had obviously been holding back for a long time, and took the opportunity to pour out his bitterness. His words no longer showed the respect he had at the beginning, but were instead filled with disdain and belittlement.
In fact, she had already anticipated this. After all, the reason why the people in Wanyaozhai respected her over the years was simply because of her transcendent status, which could bring them endless benefits.

The previously broken balance became the opportunity for them to tear each other apart, whether it was the clerk in front of them or the mercenary.

She wasn't surprised.

After venting his bitterness, the male clerk licked his dry lips and looked at the woman in the bamboo hat who had been standing there for a long time without replying. He said, "Anyway, this is the price now. If you don't buy it, I'll put it away first."

"No, I'll buy it."

Xiao Yixiang carefully took out an ancient storage ring from her bosom, with a flicker of light, she took out a crystal card and handed it to the clerk in front of her.

"Got it!"

After noticing the storage ring in Xiao Yixiang's hand, the male clerk's eyes lit up and he immediately put on a flattering expression. He quickly took the card and started to operate at the counter.

Not long after, the male clerk handed the card back, and after observing Little Medical Fairy's actions, he suddenly asked cautiously, "Is this girl a doctor?"

"I think so."

"Hehe, since you're a doctor, I wonder if you have any plans to seek out a powerful organization? My Wanyaozhai is now under the command of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group. As the only two remaining mercenary organizations in Qingshan Town, protecting your safety will definitely not be a problem."

"."

The beautiful figure in the bamboo hat did not reply, but silently put all the herbs into the storage ring, and then left without looking back.

The male clerk looked at the other person's receding figure in confusion, his face gradually becoming gloomy. He rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly, "You stinky bitch, you think you're so great about having a storage ring? If it were before, I wouldn't even bother to treat you."

After saying that, he licked his dry lips again, ran quickly to the bottom of the counter, took out a handful of herbs, and put them into the groove where the herbs had been picked by the other party.

Mercenaries arrived one after another, and the clerk was busy with work, so he quickly forgot about the conversation.

Looking at this scene with indifferent eyes, Hun Ruoruo's aura unconsciously exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

After walking out of the drugstore, the figure in white clothes and a bamboo hat seemed to be somewhat out of tune with the people around her. She hurried out of the bustling town and gradually disappeared into a small black dot, without attracting anyone's attention. She looked desolate and lonely.

"Stupid woman."

Hun Ruoruo said in a low voice, and then disappeared on the spot.
