Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 122 Night

Warcraft Mountains, a valley somewhere.

After two days and one night of travel, He Nian finally led everyone to the vicinity of their destination.

Instead of continuing forward, he ordered the troops to rest on the spot and wait until they were fully recovered before entering the valley to collect herbs.

Although their destination was this valley, they had a rare opportunity to enter the Monster Mountain Range, so they naturally wouldn't just go to this one place.

The route was planned, and they also collected many other commonly used medicinal herbs.

Even if they don't manage to collect any rare medicinal herbs from the valley, their trip into the Monster Mountain Range will still be worthwhile.

That night.

After arranging the mercenaries for the night watch, He Nian also planned to find a place to rest briefly.

He had just found a large blue stone to sit down when he heard a familiar footstep behind him.

"Hey—oh?"

Little Fairy Doctor tiptoed up behind He Nian, intending to suddenly strike and startle him, but He Nian anticipated her move and dodged her hand that was about to strike.

He Nian turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor, and said helplessly, "You're such a grown-up, yet you still act so childishly. Let me guess, it seems you were lucky enough to find some rare medicinal herb during the day and are planning to show it off to me?"

"wrong."

Little Fairy Doctor replied in a charming tone, her eyes filled with even more joy as she looked at He Nian, "There are two plants, the Jade Flower and the Crimson Feather Fruit!"

Why have you been so careless these past two days? You didn't even spot such obvious medicinal herbs!

With a victorious smile, Little Fairy Doctor sat down on the other side of the large blue stone and teased He Nian.

"You're so carefree even after entering the Monster Mountain Range, you've got a really big heart."

He Nian put her hands behind her head, lay down on the large blue stone, and said calmly, "I'm not a doctor, why should I care about medicinal herbs?"

My job is to thoroughly investigate the surrounding environment and guard against potential monster attacks.

"Yes, yes, Brother He, you've worked hard these past two days. As compensation, how about I give you a discount on your next set of medicine?"

"Are you really hoping I'll get hurt? Couldn't you have given me some nourishing tonic instead?"

"Seriously, Brother He, how old are you? You already need a tonic prescription?"

"Health preservation is not about the time of day, but about the present moment. And do you think I got my strength from this? It's because I go to bed early and get up early every day, exercise diligently, and take nourishing medicine regularly."

Little Fairy Doctor just smiled when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

He Nian finally got a moment of peace and quiet, listening to the faint chirping of insects coming from the mountain forest, and his mind gradually relaxed.

The two stopped arguing and sat on the same large blue stone in perfect harmony, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head and looked at He Nian resting with his eyes closed, a warm smile appearing on her lips.

She could hardly remember the last time she felt so relaxed around someone.

Calamity Poison Body —

Thinking of this, a bitter expression appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful face.

Her constitution is very special; it is a terrifying constitution called the Calamity Poison Body.

Each outbreak of the Calamity Poison Body's deadly venom brings terrifying disasters to her family and friends.

During the last outbreak, Little Fairy Doctor not only lost her mother, but also more than a hundred villagers from the same village perished under that terrifying poison.

Of the entire mountain village, she was the only one who survived.

She remained in a daze for several days before finally accepting this tragic truth.

Overwhelmed by fear and pain, Little Fairy Doctor became afraid to get close to others. She was terrified of losing everything again, afraid that the outbreak of the Calamity Poison Body would cause her to lose everything she had worked so hard to have.

Thus began Little Fairy Doctor's life of constant wandering. Because of her poisonous body, she began to learn medicine, intending to alleviate her sins by healing the sick and saving lives.

She thought her life would continue like this until the calamity-inducing poison completely devoured her.

But after she arrived in Qingshan Town, she met a different person, He Nian.

Unlike the others in Qingshan Town who were afraid to approach her because of the rumors, He Nian took the initiative to help her integrate into the new life in Qingshan Town and promote her medical skills.

Little Fairy Doctor still remembers that He Nian used to get injured every few days and go to her for treatment. After recovering, he would personally promote her by taking advantage of his improved strength and fighting spirit.

Over time, Little Fairy Doctor and He Nian became familiar with each other.

What an idiot!

Thinking back to the pitiful state He Nian looked when he went to find her, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but laugh.

However, she knew very well that this relaxed and carefree life would probably be gone from her again soon.

Little Fairy Doctor could sense that the outbreak of the Calamity Poison Body was approaching again.

That will be the time for her to leave Qingshan Town.

Little Fairy Doctor looked up at the crescent moon in the deep night, its light flickering slightly. After a moment, she looked down at He Nian beside her, her restless heart becoming resolute again.

"What's wrong? If you're sleepy, go back and rest. Don't disturb your brother He's night watch."

"Yes, yes, see you tomorrow morning, Brother He!"

Little Fairy Doctor jumped down from the large blue stone with a grin and walked briskly towards the camp.

He Nian sighed softly and slowly got up, preparing to conduct tonight's patrol.

Meanwhile, on the high mountains on the other side of the valley.

Muli, along with a group of his underlings, was also resting at a campfire campsite.

"Is it confirmed? That kid He Nian will be leading his men into the valley tomorrow?"

"It's confirmed, Young Commander. Although this kid is somewhat wary, our men are also very careful and haven't revealed their presence. They'll rest tonight and then head into the valley to gather herbs first thing tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Mu Li nodded slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face, which had been suppressed for several days.

He Nian, tomorrow is your death day!

Muli thought bitterly to himself that ever since his father picked up this guy and took him in, he had never received a kind word from his father.

He Nian is not only more talented than Mu Li, but also more diligent, and his appearance is far superior to Mu Li's. Now, he has even surpassed Mu Li in cultivation, reaching the level of an eight-star Dou Zhe.

All of this made Muli grit his teeth in hatred.

He understood the reasoning his father was giving him. He Nian was the deputy his father had chosen for him in the future, but he couldn't help but get angry when he saw the boy's appearance.

What's more, this woman, Little Fairy Doctor, is actually quite close to He Nian.

When Little Fairy Doctor first arrived in Qingshan Town, Mu Li didn't take her seriously at all. After all, Little Fairy Doctor's appearance was not outstanding at the time; she could only be described as pretty.

Several years have passed, and Little Fairy Doctor has grown even more beautiful. Coupled with her medical skills, she has become a celebrity in the entire Qingshan Town.

And it was He Nian who first discovered this woman; even though Mu Li had the title of the young master of the Wild Wolf Gang, he was no match for He Nian.

"I'll let you be smug for one more night. Tomorrow, after you're devoured by the monster, I'll rescue Little Fairy Doctor and win her heart."

As he thought about it, Mu Li's smile grew even wider.
