Chapter 45 Finding a Thug for Little Fairy Doctor

Little Fairy Doctor was also stunned.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a miraculous method.

Kong Ruonan was dumbfounded.

So I've encountered a Dou Zun powerhouse this time?!

Why don't you run away?

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the woman in the red dress.

The latter trembled and knelt down with a thud. Ignoring the filth of the ground, she kowtowed and begged, "This junior was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, senior, and spare my life!"

She trembled with extreme fear, certain that the person before her was an old monster with the ability to preserve her youth.

"They were all smiles and composed just a moment ago, but now that they've sensed something's wrong, they're kneeling and begging for mercy. Have they no shame as a Dou Huang level expert?"

Xiao Chen's face showed disdain.

"Although I am a Dou Huang, I can only show off my power in the surrounding empires. How dare I be arrogant in front of you, senior?"

The woman in the red dress said bitterly, "If you can spare my life, I am willing to serve you and do whatever you command."

"Serve at my side?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.

The woman in the red dress had exquisite makeup, but in Xiao Chen's eyes, she looked rather ordinary.

If it's not pleasing to the eye, what's the point of keeping it around?

Moreover, this person doesn't seem like a good person.

"Forget it, you're not qualified."

Little Fairy Doctor, who was standing nearby, also heard what the woman in the red dress said and felt inexplicably nervous.

However, upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, this inexplicable tension immediately vanished.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, "Teacher, why don't you let me deal with her?"

The woman in the red dress, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and suddenly leaped up, attacking Little Fairy Doctor.

The Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

puff!

A golden streak shot out at that moment, piercing straight into the throat of the woman in the red dress.

His figure fell to the ground while still in mid-air.

She clutched her bleeding throat, staring intently at Xiao Chen with a venomous and crazed look in her eyes.

Unfortunately, she could no longer speak and died in an instant.

Little Fairy Doctor gently patted her chest, still shaken: "I only said one sentence, and she was ready to fight me to the death. This woman is too crazy."

Xiao Chen glanced at her and laughed, "She saw your methods with her own eyes, so she wants to die by my hand even more."

The little fairy doctor's pretty face immediately blushed slightly.

Am I that scary?

"Clean up the spoils, then throw their three bodies some distance away."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen turned back into the cave, lazily lay down on the bamboo chair, and looked at Kong Ruonan lying in the muddy water on the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen slowly spoke.

The rain was still falling, but it had lessened considerably.

Upon hearing this, Kong Ruonan, who had been in a daze of shock, snapped out of her reverie and struggled to her feet.

He gasped for breath for a moment, then said bitterly, "It was my fault for being blind."

Xiao Chen looked at him calmly and said, "It's normal that you can't tell that I'm like this."

"This Emperor!"

Shock flashed in Kong Ruonan's eyes.

Could this seemingly young human actually be a Dou Di powerhouse?!

"Stop standing there, speak."

Kong Ruonan showed a look of awe and replied truthfully, "To be honest, senior, I am from the Jia Ma Empire, while those three are Dou Huang powerhouses from the Luo Yan Empire. I have been living in seclusion for many years and have long disappeared from everyone's sight, but I did not expect that they would still find my trail."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen understood and asked, "So you died at the hands of the Fallen Goose Empire?"

"Well?"

Kong Ruonan was stunned.

He's clearly not dead.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that the reality is not much different from what he guessed.

Duan Ruifeng and Kong Ruonan are both dead.

Therefore, in the end, only Hai Bodong was able to appear in the original work.

"What are you planning to do after living in seclusion for so many years?" Xiao Chen was quite curious about this.

Kong Ruonan sighed and said, "Many years ago, I participated in a gathering of powerful figures between empires. After that, I felt that my cultivation could no longer make any progress, so I chose to live in seclusion and spend the rest of my life in peace."

"Unexpectedly, You Yingluo and the others still came knocking on our door—"

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "So this is your choice."

"If I were to ask you to stay by my side as a bodyguard from now on, would you be willing?"

Kong Ruonan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior's life was saved by you, senior. From now on, if you ever need my help, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm glad you're willing. I never force anyone to work for me."

Without hesitation, Kong Ruonan replied, "This junior is willing to follow you, senior. I will forever remember your life-saving grace!"

Xiao Chen asked, "Do you have a wife, daughters, or relatives?"

Kong Ruonan shook his head: "I am just a rogue cultivator, and my family members have long since died at the hands of my enemies."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly.

Not long after, Little Fairy Doctor packed up her spoils and entered the cave.

"Teacher, these three guys only have their weapons, some healing pills, and some Xuan-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills on them. There are no other items worth noting."

As she spoke, she presented the spoils of war to Xiao Chen one by one.

Xiao Chen glanced at it briefly and then lost interest.

"Give them all to him."

"Give it to him?" Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Those three people were from the Luoyan Empire, and the person in front of you is Kong Ruonan, one of the ten strongest people in the Jia Ma Empire."

"Of course, none of that matters."

"The important thing is that he will be working for you from now on."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor looked slightly taken aback.

However, she was also very clever and immediately understood. She walked up to Kong Ruonan, took out a bottle of healing pills, and handed it to him, saying, "This is for you."

"Thank you, young lady."

Kong Ruonan gratefully clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Little Fairy Doctor said, "No need to thank me. If you hadn't been thinking of fighting for my teacher and me when you were fighting to the death just now, we might not have saved your life."

Kong Ruonan suddenly realized.

Gradually, the rain stopped, and a white mist rose from the mountains and fields, like a dream.

During this time, Xiao Chen also learned some things about Kong Ruonan's past.

The thought that such a legendary figure would become her subordinate made Little Fairy Doctor feel a little dazed.

At this moment, Kong Ruonan squatted by the campfire, her eyes occasionally glancing at Xiao Chen on the bamboo chair and Little Fairy Doctor opposite her, her mood was very complicated.

He truly never imagined that what was supposed to be a certain death would end like this.

He also knew that it was an honor for Kong Ruonan to work under such a powerful figure.

Soon, dawn broke.

The gentle dawn dispelled the darkness and illuminated the vast mountains and rivers.

The distant mountains rise in layers, shrouded in mist like gauze.

On the verdant mountains and fields, ancient trees stand in various shapes and forms.

Suddenly, a flock of birds swept through the woods, scattering a few clear cries before disappearing into the morning light.

A refreshing breeze wafted by, carrying the subtle fragrance of grass and trees.

In the dim morning light, everything is bursting with vitality.

Despite not having slept all night, Kong Ruonan was not tired.

After all, for a Dou Huang powerhouse, sleep is no longer a necessity.

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen stood up and casually put away the bamboo chair.

From that day on, what was originally a trip for two became a trip for three.

After getting up close, Kong Ruonan realized that this mysterious expert did not seem to have that arrogant attitude.

He seemed quite approachable towards his own people.

When he walks through the mountains and fields, he picks some wild fruits he sees along the way and tastes them.

If it tastes good, he will let himself and the girl try it too.

This is completely different from the image of a strong person that Kong Ruonan imagined.

But Little Fairy Doctor hasn't been in a good mood these past few days.

Because the day she had to part ways with her teacher was drawing ever closer.
