Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Little Fairy Doctor, Poison That Cuts Through Eternity!

The carriage rumbled slowly as it entered the city gate.

Little Fairy Doctor lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out; the bustling prosperity of Tiandou City instantly came into view.

The wide streets are paved with bluestone slabs, polished smooth and shiny by the passage of time and the wheels of vehicles. On both sides stand pavilions with flying eaves and brackets layered upon each other, casting interlaced light and shadow in the afternoon sun.

Shop banners fluttered in the breeze, the sounds of people could be faintly heard in the taverns and teahouses, and all sorts of vendors displayed their wares along the street, offering a dazzling array of fresh fruits, silks, porcelain, and freshly baked pastries.

The streets were bustling with brightly dressed pedestrians and carriages, and occasionally guards in light armor and with orderly steps would patrol the streets.

"How's it? Bustling, isn't it?" Dugu Yan's voice rang out beside her, tinged with pride. "Tian Dou City is the most prosperous capital of the empire. If Miss Ji takes a fancy to anything, just tell me, and it'll be on me!"

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head; there was nothing she wanted.

For her, clothes are fine as long as they're wearable, and food is fine as long as it's edible.

All she wanted was whale glue, but high-quality whale glue was too expensive and too rare. To get it, she would have to try her luck at an auction house. Even if the two rich ladies, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, offered her money, she wouldn't be so shameless.

Before long, the carriage left the bustling Tiandou Commercial Street and finally stopped in front of an antique-style medical clinic.

"We've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan reluctantly released her arm from Little Fairy Doctor's and said, "Lingling, Miss Ji, I'll head home now. I haven't been back for so many days; Grandpa must be missing me. I'll come back to see you after I've seen him."

"it is good."

……

Dugu Yan left in a carriage, and Xiao Yixian followed Ye Lingling down from the carriage. A simple and elegant three-story pavilion came into view.

Above the door hangs a black plaque with gold lettering that reads "Nine Hearts Medical Clinic," with a begonia flower pattern engraved next to it.

As you walk in, the subtle, astringent scent of medicine wafts through the air.

The clinic was bright and clean, with the blue bricks on the floor gleaming from being wiped. To the left was a wall of medicine cabinets, with hundreds of drawers neatly arranged, each with the name of a medicine written in regular script on its top. To the right was a medical record.

Ye Lingling led Little Fairy Doctor through the front hall and up the wooden stairs on the side.

The stairs were spotless, the handrails were smooth, and footsteps made only a slight sound when they landed on the steps.

"Miss Ye, do you manage this huge clinic all by yourself?" Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but ask. If that were the case, Ye Lingling would be working too hard—she had to study at the academy during the day and then manage all the affairs of the clinic after school.

"Yes." Ye Lingling nodded gently. "Yanyan sometimes comes to help me. Grandpa... also comes back to visit occasionally."

"I see."

Upon reaching the third floor, there are three rooms: a bedroom, a washroom, and a study. The study contains several rows of bookshelves, neatly stacked with various medical books and pharmacopoeias.

"Miss Ji, you are welcome to take any of the medical books and prescriptions here. If there's anything you don't understand..." Ye Lingling paused, recalling the Little Fairy Doctor's accurate pulse diagnosis last night, and shook her head. "Your medical skills far surpass mine; I should be the one asking you for guidance. But I wonder... where did Miss Ji learn her medical skills?"

"Qingshan Town in the eastern part of the Gama Empire... or, on Blue Star, the Beiyuan Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

The Little Fairy Doctor silently responded in her heart, but on the surface she only smiled slightly: "Miss Ye, you flatter me. I only have a smattering of common pulse diagnosis and medicine dispensing. As for Yan Yan's matter... it was just a coincidence. My medical skills are nothing more than what I learned piecemeal from visiting medical clinics in various kingdoms and duchies since childhood."

"Miss Ji, please don't be so modest." Ye Lingling said seriously. She had been learning medicine from her grandfather since childhood, but her pulse diagnosis skills were still only at the beginner level. She was far from being able to diagnose the deadly poison in Dugu Yan's body just by taking a pulse, like Little Fairy Doctor.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked softly, "By the way, where is Miss Ji's hometown? Do your elders know you've come to Tiandou City? Should we send a letter home first, so your family won't worry?"

Little Fairy Doctor remained silent for a moment.

This simplest question is, in fact, the most difficult to answer. She lowered her eyes and continued weaving the story she had already prepared:

"No one will care about me. I'm an orphan... The orphanage I lived in since I was a child was attacked by wolf bandits when I was six. I was the only one who survived."

"Ah..." Ye Lingling suddenly froze, her eyebrows furrowing, her eyes filled with regret and helplessness. "I'm...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."

"It's alright." Little Fairy Doctor shook her head, her tone calm. "I no longer care."

The more nonchalant she appeared, the more bitter and distressed Ye Lingling felt.

Not knowing how to comfort her, she awkwardly stepped forward, gently reached out, and embraced Little Fairy Doctor.

"If you don't mind... from now on, I'll be your family."

"Um……"

Little Fairy Doctor felt a warmth in her heart, but at the same time, she was very puzzled.

Do girls always comfort people with hugs...?

After briefly familiarizing herself with the clinic's environment, Little Fairy Doctor settled in. However, she still needed to purchase daily necessities, so she and Ye Lingling locked the clinic's door and stepped back into the bustling streets of Tiandou City.

The crowds were bustling, and shouts rose and fell.

"Steamed buns! Freshly baked big meat buns!"

"Fine grain liquor, don't miss it!"

Little Fairy Doctor wasn't really interested in shopping, but Ye Lingling, who was walking beside her, was completely different.

This usually quiet and gentle girl now had bright joy dancing in her eyes.

When she encounters street performers, she will unconsciously exclaim "Ah!" and tug at Little Fairy Doctor's sleeve to signal her to watch. She does the same when she sees something beautiful.

"Miss Ji, look at this hairpin, isn't the design quite unique?"

"The embroidery on this sachet is exquisite, and the herbs are arranged in a refined way. It might look nice hanging in the room."

"Are you thirsty after walking for so long? There's a tea shop up ahead; their honey-preserved fruit tea is really soothing."

……

Meanwhile, at the Dugu residence.

Dugu Bo stood there, stunned, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a sound for a long time. He seemed not to understand, or perhaps he understood but couldn't comprehend it.

What does it mean that a little girl used "blood" to suppress the poison in Yan Yan's body?

Are you kidding me?!

"Yanyan," he took a deep breath, trying to steady his voice, but he still couldn't hide the slight tremor at the end, "What you said... is it true?"

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Dugu Yan raised her chin and poured Dugu Bo a cup of hot tea.

"You've lied to me quite a few times..." Dugu Bo muttered under his breath, his hand trembling slightly as he picked up the teacup. He brought the rim of the cup to his lips, but forgot to drink, his mind replaying his granddaughter's words.

If what Yan Yan said is true... if that girl's blood can truly suppress the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Snake...

Then it seems that the grandfather and grandson really can be saved.
