Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

"Someone, wake her up with water." Gus wanted to see if the Butterfly Species man's finger had really healed, or if the flesh was just reattached.

"Yes."

Immediately, someone splashed water on the Butterfly Species man's face, prompting him to slowly awaken.

"I... what is this." Seeing so many people surrounding him as if they were going to devour him, the Butterfly Species warrior felt fear.

In a hurry, he flailed his limbs, struggling to climb off the wooden board, trying to find a chance to run away. Someone threw a wine cup, which he swept away with one hand, then someone else threw a piece of cloth, which he grabbed and tossed away. Just as he was rushing towards the tent's exit, several guards fully clad in armor blocked him. These guards, who were no weaker than a transcendent, re-tied him and escorted him to the center of the tent. Everyone present witnessed the whole process, and they confirmed that his finger had indeed fully healed.

Clap, clap, clap.

Gus applauded a few times, then looked at Hexia.

"Very powerful healing ability and method, Miss Hexia, you have earned my respect. Someone, give this lady a chair."

Afterwards, the guard cleared a space beside Gus, set up a new chair, and invited Hexia to sit.

Thinking about purchasing a large amount of food and inevitable negotiations with the higher-ups in the camp, Tilan did not refuse and sat down.

"After this, Miss Hexia will handle the Butterfly Species man." He waved his hand, ordering the guards to carry the Butterfly Species man to the corner of the tent and gag him, to prevent disturbance.

Subsequently, everyone's attention and topic shifted to the sitting young girl. Many were curious about her identity and why Gus changed his decision after the Grey Feather Species spoke a few words.

"I heard from a scholar from Shilin Mountain Castle that Miss Hexia is a great figure, versed in multiple disciplines, extremely knowledgeable, and has saved many people during the insect disaster."

"Originally, I was skeptical, as rumors are often misleading, but today has truly opened my eyes."

"Come, come, come, pour wine for Miss Hexia." He called, and two maids brought Hexia fine wine and cleaned fruits.

"So it's Miss Hexia." Voices of agreement echoed in the tent, even if some people hadn't heard her name before.

After brief pleasantries, Gus asked Tilan why she visited the Wolf Blood King Camp.

"Turns out it was to purchase food for the rescued disaster victims." After listening, Gus praised with his mouth, but his eyes showed contempt.

In his view, it was foolish behavior. A figure like Hexia wouldn't lack followers anywhere she went, yet now she ran around for a few worthless disaster victims, truly a waste of life.

"I don't know how much Miss Hexia wants, we have a lot in storage, but it requires exchanging for valuable things." He continued to inquire.

...

"Actually needing enough to feed 1800 people for two months?" Gus doubted his ears. He thought it would just be a minor affair, perhaps buying food for a settlement of up to 100 people.

1800 people comprised the total population of many representatives' settlements here, often only large settlements had that many people, such forces were renowned on the plains, not obscure.

"That number is no small matter, is Miss Hexia sure she can afford it?" His eyes turned greedy again.

"If it's an exchange, the goods I brought might not be enough." The young girl had looked at some prices in the market the last two days; food wasn't cheap.

"I see this is a problem too. How about this: Miss Hexia stays in the camp, serves as the doctor, and I can report to the Queen to specially approve some food reserves for you."

"How long would I need to serve as a doctor to get enough food for the exchange?" Tilan did not immediately refuse.

"This..." Gus calculated inside.

"At least five years."

"Five years, which is roughly 1800 days. You're saying my daily value equals two months of food for an ordinary person, right?" Tilan combed her hair with her fingers, an unconscious gesture that left others momentarily stunned.

"Exactly, this is quite a high treatment." Gus shook his head, his chest fat jiggling.

It sounded high, but Tilan felt she couldn't delay five years on this planet, as the Federation was a mess waiting for her to clean up, and the uncertainties of five years were too many.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, that time is too long." The young girl slightly shook her head, expressing disappointment for those around.

"I can offer free treatment to the people in the camp during my stay, up to six days, as compensation. As for how much you charge the patients, I won't interfere, consider it as a reward for the camp."

"I wonder if you can agree to this suggestion." After speaking, Tilan slightly tilted her head, looking at Gus sitting not far away.

"Haha, how..." Gus originally intended to reject immediately, but looking into those blue eyes, his mind involuntarily sank, with the girl's gentle voice continually resonating in his mind, gradually eroding his resistance.

"This... might be a good idea." To everyone's surprise, Gus agreed without haggling.

Seconds later, Gus came to his senses, touching his chin, puzzled as to why he agreed. Perhaps it was because the girl was unusually beautiful, with an incredibly pleasant voice.
