"We were wrong, please spare our lives, senior! We beg you!"
The members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were already so terrified they wet themselves, some even crying out in fear of the newcomer's power.
Jiang Cheng flicked his finger, and the bodies of all the Wolf Head Mercenaries in front of him instantly exploded, the splattered pieces of flesh adding to the gruesome scene.
"Sorry, I'm the kind of person who either doesn't kill or kills them all."
Jiang Cheng cultivated with the mindset of "if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you," but the Wolf Head Mercenaries had spoken arrogantly and even tried to attack him, so it was better to just wipe them out and avoid trouble.
Otherwise, these guys would definitely tell the Wolf Head Mercenary Group leader about this, leading to them sending troops to surround and annihilate him.
Although Jiang Cheng wasn't afraid of the so-called Wolf Head Mercenary Group, it would be a loss if this matter destroyed the forest.
Little Fairy Doctor was also terrified by the sudden scene, her face turning pale. She had never killed anyone before, but seeing so many people die in front of her made her feel nauseous.
Jiang Cheng took out a poison pill and handed it to her. "Here, take this and it will suppress the Calamity Poison Body in your body."
"Senior...you know..."
Little Fairy Doctor tremblingly accepted the poison pill, her expression very strange. Only she knew this, not even the people of Wan Yao Zhai knew, yet she had revealed it all to this senior.
Jiang Cheng grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's arm, tore through the void with his bare hands, and disappeared from the spot before her horrified gaze. When he reappeared, he was already in the peach grove.
Little Fairy Doctor was also stunned by the scene before her. She had never noticed such a beautiful place before...was this still the Monster Mountain Range she knew?
"Master, who is this girl?"
Hearing the commotion, the Amethyst Winged Lion King strode over, his fierce appearance frightening Little Fairy Doctor, who hid behind Jiang Cheng, secretly peeking out and scrutinizing the burly man.
"My name is... Little Fairy Doctor... Hello..."
"Little Fairy Doctor?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King shrugged. He disdained to associate with anyone except a few powerful individuals.
"My name is Jiang Cheng, and his name is..." Jiang Cheng then realized he hadn't named the Amethyst Winged Lion King yet.
"From now on, you'll be called Little Fire, it'll save you trouble."
"Uh..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated, wondering if this was a bit too abrupt...
but he couldn't refuse. After all, it was a name bestowed upon him by his master.
"Senior... thank you for saving me and giving me the poison pill. I am deeply grateful."
"It's alright. Come here after you recover."
Jiang Cheng sat down in a chair without a care, sipping his hot tea. Although Little Fairy Doctor had the ability to nurture, once the Calamity Poison Body took effect, any living being within a ten-mile radius would likely perish.
This place was the result of ten years of hard work; if it were destroyed, he would probably cry.
Little Fairy Doctor knelt on the ground, her voice slightly choked, "Senior, I was chased by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group because I obtained an opportunity... The Ten Thousand Medicines Hall also kept a safe distance from me. I beg you to take me in, Senior. I... I know medicine..."
"There's no shortage of doctors here. Let's go."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand again.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King clicked its tongue, as if it understood something. It grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's arm and led her behind a tree, whispering,
"Master likes sincere girls. Just offer some valuable items. I'm sure you don't want to be chased by your Wolf Head Mercenary Group."
Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips. She had come to the mountains to gather medicinal herbs, but she hadn't expected to encounter the Wolf Head Mercenary Group here. If she left now, she would definitely be chased again, and next time no one would be able to save her.
Xiao Yan's whereabouts were unknown, and Wan Yao Zhai naturally wouldn't offend the Wolf Head Mercenary Group for his sake.
Now, he could only rely on these two seniors.
Little Fairy Doctor took out her most precious possession and offered it with both hands, "Senior, this is a secret manual I obtained by chance, called the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. If you would allow me to stay here, this manual is yours."
Although the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is neither a cultivation technique nor a fighting skill, it is still a rare treasure.
Its value varies depending on the person holding it. In the hands of ordinary people
, the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is of little value, even less than a Xuan-rank cultivation technique/fighting skill.
In the hands of someone with the Calamity Poison Body, the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is like a divine aid, granting them a "poison encyclopedia" through their physique strengthened by poisons—simply amazing!
Jiang Cheng accepted the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, also showing interest. Although this Seven-Colored Poison Scripture wasn't of a high level, it was still something worth learning.
"Not bad, quite interesting."
It recorded all sorts of herbs and pills, but they were all highly poisonous. This was something worth studying.
"Senior, you agree?"
Little Fairy Doctor asked excitedly.
"When did I say I agreed?"
Little Fairy Doctor paused.
This senior wouldn't be planning to kill and rob, would he?
Murder and robbery were commonplace in the Dou Qi Continent, and always effective.
If the other party made a move, she probably couldn't even withstand a single finger.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and said, "However, I enjoy studying these strange techniques or treasures. Your Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is very interesting. From now on, you will live here with Little Fire."
"However, there are three rules: First, you are not allowed to touch anything here."
"Second, you are not allowed to leave without my permission."
"Third, you will eat whatever I give you, without any complaints. If you agree, you can stay; if you don't agree, you can leave."
Jiang Cheng continued reading the book without looking up, seemingly unconcerned.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement. This senior was incredibly powerful; if he wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have saved her in the first place.
"Thank you, Senior."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King shrugged and told Little Fairy Doctor everything about the place, including his son, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Little Fairy Doctor was stunned when she learned that Uncle Little Fire was the magical beast Amethyst Winged Lion King. She hadn't expected that the man before her was a sixth-tier magical beast who killed without spitting out bones…
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's reputation was among the best in the entire Gama Empire; even the top ten powerhouses rarely dared to challenge someone of his level in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Moreover, in the entire Eastern Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was undoubtedly number one.
However, after becoming Jiang Cheng's mount, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's personality had changed drastically, from its original bloodthirsty nature to a more refined one.
