Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 234 Green Scales

In the mountains and forests,

Xiao Yan slowly woke up. At this moment, he felt as if his body was moving rapidly. He felt his body leaning against something soft and smelled a faint fragrance.

"Xiao Yan, you're awake?" A clear and gentle female voice rang out.

"Where am I?" Xiao Yan murmured. "Has the Burning Blade Technique successfully evolved?"

"Hey~ I was carrying you on my back, and when you woke up you didn't ask if I was tired, but instead you were concerned about that deadly cultivation technique, humph! You deserve to be burned like that!" Little Fairy Doctor's face puffed up with anger.

At this moment, Xiao Yan realized that he was on Little Fairy Doctor's back. Little Fairy Doctor was carrying him and running quickly. Xiao Yan looked up and vaguely saw a city.

"Teacher, teacher?" Xiao Yan called out to Yao Lao.

"Stop shouting! Grandpa took Yao Lao away, saying he had important business to attend to. It's all because of you. Yao Lao's soul power has been greatly depleted, and his strength is about to drop from the Dou Zong level to the Dou Huang level!" Little Fairy Doctor said speechlessly.

"Teacher, how could I, as your disciple, act like this? Sigh~ Little Fairy Doctor, please put me down. I can walk now," Xiao Yan said.

"Let's forget about it. You just refined the Netherworld Poison Fire, take a rest. Thanks to you, I'm a Great Battle Master now, I have plenty of strength," Little Fairy Doctor laughed.

"A Great Dou Master? So fast? You've taken poison again?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all because of you! You recklessly practiced that so-called Burning Technique, which made you too weak to withstand the energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire when you tried to absorb it."

"If Grandpa hadn't been there, he would have directly injected a large amount of the Netherworld Poison Fire's energy into my body. Luckily, I have the Calamity Poison Body, which can withstand the energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire. Otherwise, you would be finished."

Little Fairy Doctor said angrily.

"Thank you, Little Fairy Doctor," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

"Thank me? Is that all you're going to do to thank me? Can't you do something more substantial?" Little Fairy Doctor raised the corner of her mouth.

"Huh? How do you want me to thank you? I'm engaged, so it's impossible for me to repay you with my body," Xiao Yan said righteously.

"Oh? A marriage contract? Then why are you leaning against my back? And hugging me so tightly?" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled.

"Forehead."

"Alright, stop pretending to be serious. I found out about your engagement from Grandpa. Not only do you have a fiancée, but you also have a childhood sweetheart."

Young man, let me tell you, I'm not someone you can easily seduce. I'm a poisonous woman, so watch out or I'll poison you to death!

This style is completely different from the Little Fairy Doctor in Qingshan Town before. Perhaps it's because she has family, new ties, and a haven in her heart, which has made her heart more free.

"Hey! I've completely refined the Netherworld Poison Flame, and I'm immune to all poisons. Your poison has no effect on me!" Xiao Yan was also getting "tempered" and insisted on competing with Little Fairy Doctor!

After exchanging a few words, the two arrived at the city in front of them, the Stone Desert City.

Stone Desert City is a city in the desert. Compared with the cities inside the empire, it has a more simple and profound feel. Perhaps because it is close to the Tagor Desert, its defenses are much stricter than those inside the empire. Fully armed soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere in the city.

Due to the influence of the Gama Empire's royal family, several years ago, the Gama Empire announced its intention to expand outwards! At the same time, it declared war on neighboring countries such as the Izumo Empire, the Mulan Empire, the Golden Goose Empire, and the Snake-People Empire!

Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the Gama royal family, has also personally gone to the border many times to fight against the strongmen of other countries. The most famous thing in Shimo City is that Jia Xingtian defeated the infamous Queen Medusa with a single palm strike, which greatly weakened the Snake People Empire.

Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor walked into Stone Desert City and suddenly heard some noises.

A man was pulling a little girl's hair, and the little girl was screaming in pain.

"It's all your fault, you jinx! You've caused me to have no business at all. Don't hang around in front of me unless you have to, you know?"

The man was dressed quite well, clearly a businessman, while the little girl looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a tattered cloth dress, and kept apologizing to the man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!"

The man shoved the little girl to the ground and then tried to kick her again. The little girl was so frightened that she used her arms to protect herself.

The pain didn't come. The little girl slowly raised her arm, only to find a man and a woman blocking her way. The boy easily grabbed the man's foot.

"What kind of skill is it for a grown man to bully a little girl? Do you want to fight me?" Xiao Yan shouted coldly, and a light purple gauze robe suddenly materialized around his body.

"A mere veil of Dou Qi, a Dou Shi expert! I'm so sorry, I've offended you, sir!

That man was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong; Xiao Yan easily flung him away.

Then Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the little girl: "Are you alright?"

"No, no, it's nothing!" This was the first time the little girl had ever encountered someone who would save her. It was the first time in her life that someone had spoken up for her. No one, except her mother, would treat her so kindly.

The Fairy Doctor squatted down to check if the little girl had any injuries, and found that the little girl had many bruises of various sizes on her body.

"Who on earth dared to lay such a heavy hand on a young girl!" Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed angrily.

"Little Fairy Doctor, let's take her somewhere to rest and heal her injuries while we're at it!"

Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor then led the little girl deep into Stone Desert City, only to find that all the habitable places were closed to them because of the little girl.

"Why! Why are you bullying such a young girl like this?!" Xiao Yan was also furious.

"She's a monster born from the hybrid of a snake-woman and a human. Such a jinx doesn't live past two years old, but she's lived this long, and it's said she even killed her mother. She's a jinx!" the steward said.

The little girl behind Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head and looked ashen-faced.

"Damn it! Are you trying to bully a little girl like this?! Are you going to let her stay or not?" Xiao Yan also cursed.

"Sir, this is really not possible! Our shop will get a complaint."

bang——

Xiao Yan slammed his alchemist badge on the table. The person in the tube was initially startled, but after picking it up and taking a closer look, was terrified.

"Second, second, second-grade alchemist! M-m-sir! This humble one..."

Xiao Yan said coldly, "Can we stay here now? If not, I'll tear down your shop, along with all the other shops!"

"My lord, my lord, please!" The steward knelt down before Xiao Yan. He felt like he wanted to die. He had actually offended an alchemist! Even a businessman like him with little cultivation knew that alchemists were high and mighty beings.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly and then led Little Fairy Doctor and the girl into a guest room.

After entering the guest room, the Little Fairy Doctor first gave the little girl a bath and cleaned her up. The little girl was clearly very pretty, but now she was all dirty.

The Little Fairy Doctor returned to her original self in Qingshan Town. While changing the little girl's clothes, she was shocked to find blue snake scales on her wrist.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." The little girl immediately covered her wrist.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan rushed over immediately, only to see the disheveled little girl. Little Fairy Doctor turned around and slapped Xiao Yan.

"Don't look! She's still a child!"

"Ouch~" Xiao Yan was slapped to the ground by Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor then looked at the little girl again: "Little sister, don't be afraid. Your snake scales are very beautiful, very pretty. You are a very pretty little girl. Do you have a name?"

The little girl said timidly, "Really? My name is Qinglin."

"Qinglin? My name is Xiaoyixian, and later my grandfather gave me the name Xiao Xian'er. You can just call me Sister Xian'er." Xiaoyixian rubbed Qinglin's head.

"Sister Fairy".
