Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 21: Become a disciple and punish the three evils
Yao San's words interrupted Xiao Yixian's musings, and she felt a wave of discomfort. Whenever Yao San approached, her stomach churned; his slovenly, overweight frame was always accompanied by an indescribable odor. Whenever Yao San came to Wan Yao Zhai to bother her, she would find an excuse to go out gathering herbs with the departing mercenary group. After all, at that time, she didn't dare to offend Wan Yao Zhai easily, as she still needed its support for her own survival.

However, times have changed, and she now has a Douhuang-level master as a solid backer. This means she no longer needs to go to great lengths to please the people in Wanyaozhai, nor does she need to feel uneasy about the hungry wolves in the mercenary group who are eyeing her body.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian was finally able to resolutely say "no" to those people whom she hated in her heart but had no choice but to submit to.

"Hmph, whether I go out to see patients or not is none of your business." The little medical fairy's slightly distant and tough attitude made Zhongli almost laugh out loud.

"Oh, why aren't you trying to find a way to get into the mercenary group now?" Yao San said, his eyes turning to Zhongli who was standing next to Xiao Yixian. "Who are you? How dare you get so close to Xiao Yixian? In Qingshan Town, you didn't even ask around. Xiao Yixian is the woman I, Yao San, have reserved for you. Xiao Yixian, let go of that hand you're holding!"

Yao San's roar echoed through the air, and the surrounding civilians instantly recognized his identity. Immediately, they began to quietly flee, fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect them. Soon, only a vast expanse of ground remained. However, at the edge of this clearing, a few mercenaries still gathered, watching with interest, their faces occasionally revealing lewd smiles and whispering to each other.

"Yo... When did the Little Medical Fairy start bringing men back?"

"I don't know, but if he offends the honorable alchemist, I'm afraid this man will suffer."

"I have to say, this pretty boy is really fair and tender."

The clamor of the mercenary group members around her, along with Yao San's deafening roar before her, were like sharp arrows, piercing Little Medical Fairy's mind. She had thought she'd long since grown accustomed to such clamor, but now, embarrassment and fear still washed over her like a tide.

Xiao Yixian's tightly closed eyes slowly opened as Zhongli's big, generous hand gently stroked her head. Her gaze fell on Zhongli, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Yes, I have my master here, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

At this moment, Xiao Yixian felt a sudden surge of determination. She stood quietly before the evildoers who had forced her to endure their fate in silence, her gaze brimming with determination. Slowly, she bent her knees toward Zhongli, kneeling respectfully on the ground. She spoke in a clear and resolute voice, "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly raised her hands, crossed them above her head, and then kowtowed heavily to Zhongli with full sincerity and respect. The muffled sound seemed to be her resolute farewell to the past and a solemn promise to the future.

In the depths of the Chains of the Mortal World, a green contract suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Zhongli's consciousness.

"A new contract? It seems that I also need to sign a contract when I accept a disciple in this world. Then why was there no contract when I accepted Xiao Yan?" Zhongli's spiritual consciousness carefully explored the Chains of the World, and finally found a fiery and illusory master-disciple contract under the three-year contract.

"It seems that we have to wait until Xiao Yan's three-year agreement is fulfilled before we can sign this master-disciple contract."

"I have many names. Which one should I sign? For the duration of my leisurely journey... Zhongli is a better name. Although I'm only traveling, I can accompany you." As the Little Medical Immortal bowed deeply to Zhongli, his name automatically appeared on the contract. As Zhongli's brush lightly touched, a green and yellow light instantly illuminated the entire Earthly Chain.

The contract is complete and officially effective.

From the outside, all this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Get up." Zhongli's voice was low and powerful, with seven parts of calmness and three parts of joy.

The Little Medical Fairy slowly straightened her body, and Yao San, who was standing by, just came back to his senses from the shock after witnessing this scene. He was so angry that he jumped to his feet!
"You!! You've never even knelt before me, yet you actually kneel before another man!! You! You shameless woman!"

Yao San's extremely angry curses filled my ears, and there were also gloating and eager laughter all around.

However, Zhongli stared quietly at his gloved hands. The conclusion of the contract just now caused his heart of the Rock God, which had been almost wiped out, to miraculously tremble slightly again.

This was undoubtedly a very good sign for Zhongli, proving that his previous inferences were correct.

"The strength seems to be slowly returning. It's not much, but it's useful." Zhongli whispered to himself, his voice as heavy and deep as rock.

"Hmph! You're simply lawless! How dare you ignore a genius like me, a genius at alchemy? You're courting death! Tang Da and Tang Er, listen up! Give that pretty boy a good lesson! Don't hurt the Little Medical Fairy! I'll teach her a lesson myself tonight!"

Yao San's face flushed red with rage, his fury threatening to ignite the very air around him. In the illusory world he'd long woven, the actions of Zhongli and Xiao Yixian were intolerable. In his view, Xiao Yixian simply needed to remain docilely by his side, serving as his bedside companion. Why would she even consider him her disciple?
As slaves, the two Tang brothers dared not slack off in the face of the orders given by their master. They hurriedly grasped a machete and rushed towards Zhongli with great momentum.

Zhongli remained silent, his gaze as sharp as a torch, as he gazed at his new disciple. Yao San's cries beside him, and the approaching figures of Tang Da and Tang Er, failed to distract him.

Just as Tang Da and Tang Er's machetes were about to reach Zhongli's body, he suddenly raised his left hand, and three rock spears materialized from thin air, instantly piercing Tang Da and Tang Er's bodies. The middle rock spear paused for a moment before piercing Yao San. Guided by the rock spears, Zhongli swung his arm, and with three resounding thuds, the three bodies were fiercely impaled on the three characters "Wan," "Yao," and "Zhai" on the Wanyaozhai plaque.

The bright red liquid flowed slowly down the tiled roof like fine raindrops, like a winding river of blood. And between the three patches of crimson, there was also some yellow-brown oily substance emitting a pungent and rancid odor, as if it was a fusion of sin and filth.
