After being rejected by the Little Doctor, the young man's face did not show the slightest bit of anger. He smiled faintly, waved his hand, and shouted, "Wolf Head's men, pay attention. We are about to enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Don't fail miserably."
"Yes, Young Commander!"
Hearing the young man's shout, the surrounding men immediately responded in unison. Their orderly voices seemed to have been specially trained, attracting the attention of the crowd.
Very satisfied with this reaction, the young man smiled faintly. Full of arrogance, he quickened his pace and walked side by side with the Little Doctor, very attentively protecting her.
"Damn, isn't he just relying on his father's position as the Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenaries? Does he think that he can win the Little Doctor's heart with this?"
Seeing the young man who could chat with the Little Doctor at such a close distance, a mercenary beside Mu Qingxiao immediately cursed in a low voice, his tone full of jealousy.
Expressionless, Mu Qingxiao's gaze swept across the young man's body and finally stopped at the badge on his chest. The badge was engraved with a wolf head with one eye.
Looking past the young man, Mu Qingxiao looked at the thirty mercenaries behind him who were wearing the same badge on their chests. Mu Qingxiao smiled slightly. From the looks of it now, the plot did not change even though he had obtained the Bone Freezing Fire.
Outside the Magic Beast Mountain Range, everything was still peaceful. However, not long after the group entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, they were attacked by a small group of Magic Beasts.
Three Rank One Magic Beasts, Scarlet Ice Snakes, hung from the tree branches. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the people below, they easily injected the cold poison into the bodies of the three mercenaries at lightning speed.
Immediately, the three men, whose faces were as pale as ice sculptures, felt their limbs go cold and limp.
Being attacked, the mercenaries angrily attacked. In a moment, the three Rank One Magic Beasts were beaten to death.
After the Scarlet Ice Snakes were taken care of, the three mercenaries who had been poisoned were quickly sent to the herb gathering team at the back. The Little Doctor personally helped them expel the cold poison from their bodies.
As the troop went deeper into the forest, the Little Doctor's clear voice suddenly rang out in the quiet troop. "Everyone, we are close to the herb harvesting area. Please take a rest. After walking for so long, I'm afraid everyone is tired."
The advancing footsteps paused slightly. The entire group also stopped without any prior agreement. They turned their heads and looked at the white-dressed lady whose smile did not contain the slightest impurity before nodding their heads in an extremely obedient manner.
After a quick discussion, the dozen or so mercenaries spread out to guard the surroundings. As for the others, they sat where they were, recovering the energy they had expended during the journey.
While everyone was resting, Mu Qingxiao's Divine Sense detected many figures quietly leaving. The Little Doctor's figure was among them.
With a faint smile, Mu Qingxiao concealed her aura and quietly left the group.
Following the figure in his spiritual sense, he went deeper and deeper into the small forest. After walking for a while, his dim vision became slightly brighter.
Mu Qingxiao directly walked out. What appeared in front of him was a somewhat steep cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a lush green forest. It was quite beautiful.
Mu Qingxiao's gaze swept across the edge of the cliff. His gaze fixed on a plant that was blooming with pale white flowers. He said in a low voice, "Looks like I've found the right place."
This plant was blooming with pale white flowers. Within the faintly blooming flowers, a scarlet fruit was faintly discernible. A faint medicinal fragrance was emitted from it.
After carefully scanning the plant, Mu Qingxiao slightly squatted down. Just as he was about to pick the plant, a jade-like white hand suddenly stretched out from the cliff in front of him.
Her target was also this plant. However, due to Mu Qingxiao's relationship, she grabbed it in his hand.
Just as the jade-like hand came into contact with Mu Qingxiao's palm, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
In the next second, a gentle and beautiful face with an ethereal aura appeared from the bottom of the cliff. She was slightly flustered as she looked at the smiling young man squatting in front of her.
On the cliff, the two of them stared blankly at each other. The scene was somewhat strange.
"That … Can you give me a hand?"
After looking at each other for a moment, the Little Doctor finally took the initiative to break the awkwardness. Her voice was extremely soft and comfortable to listen to. Looking at the young man in front of her, a trace of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Mu Qingxiao smiled slightly and grabbed the Little Doctor's jade-like hand. With a gentle tug, the latter jumped up from the cliff. Her delicate body drew a beautiful arc in the air as she nimbly jumped to the top of the mountain.
"Thank you."
The Little Doctor softly thanked Mu Qingxiao as her feet landed lightly on the ground. She quickly broke free from Mu Qingxiao's hand and swept her gaze across the edge of the cliff. Her slender fingers brushed the black hair in front of her forehead as her gaze fell on Mu Qingxiao's handsome face.
After being stunned for a moment, the Little Doctor recovered from her shock and softly said, "I remember that you are the mercenary hired by the Thousand Medicine House, right?"
"Yes. To be remembered by the Little Doctor, shouldn't I be honored?" Mu Qingxiao gently smiled as he recalled the softness in his hand.
The Little Doctor stared at Mu Qingxiao's face and said, "With your appearance, it's impossible for others not to remember it. Oh right, I saw that you wanted to pick this medicinal plant. Do you know what it is? "
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao calmly said, "White Orchid Fruit. It's considered rare among mid-level medicinal plants. This ripe White Orchid Fruit can be sold for more than 4,000 gold coins at a medicine shop."
Hearing Mu Qingxiao directly mention the White Orchid Fruit, a trace of surprise flashed across the Little Doctor's beautiful eyes. She said with some surprise, "You also learned how to identify medicinal plants?"
"I learned it for a year."
After learning from Yao Chen for a year, he had learned all the basic, mid-level, and high-level medicinal plants in just a few months. His knowledge was far from what others could compare to.
"Although everyone has a share, you were the one who saw this White Orchid Fruit first, so I won't take it from you."
With a faint smile, the Little Doctor squatted down and carefully removed the red fruit from the flower. Then, she handed it to Mu Qingxiao.
Mu Qingxiao took the fruit and said strangely, "The White Orchid Fruit is expensive. Miss, you are giving it to me for free. You are so kind."
Perhaps because Mu Qingxiao kept staring at her, the Little Doctor guiltily looked away. However, there was a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes. She said, "Alright, I'm afraid that the team has finished resting. Let's go back quickly."
Playing with the cold White Orchid Fruit in his hand, Mu Qingxiao's mouth curved into a strange smile. What a mischievous little girl. How could the cave under the cliff hide from him?
He originally came for the things in the cave, but he was not in a hurry. He would just play with her for a while.
