Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Third Miss, we can't let him leave. If he goes, he's bound to attempt suicide again."

Just as Xia Liu took a few steps, Xiaowu couldn't help but speak.

"We've already taught him a lesson. If he still wants to seek death, then it's his fate."

"That's not exactly right. Since the Third Miss has encountered him, it means it's his destiny. If you save him, he might repay you unexpectedly in the future."

Hearing Xiaowu's words, a warm current flowed through Xia Liu's heart.

How wonderful!

If only Murong Yan had such a disposition, entering the Murong Family would be inevitable for me!

"Say yes! Take me in!"

Xia Liu prayed constantly in his heart. As long as Murong Yan nodded, he was sure he could get in!

"He's just an ordinary person. What could he possibly offer me in return?"

Murong Yan shook her head, unable to fathom what benefit this guy could provide her.

"Isn't it true that Third Miss has never been out before? This guy comes from the mortal realm, surely he has much knowledge of it."

"Hmm! I want to take him back!"

Murong Yan immediately nodded in agreement.

Her decisiveness made Xia Liu think he was dreaming.

What the heck is this? Murong Yan wants to gain something from me.

She figured she wouldn't gain anything and thus didn't take him in.

Why is worldly information so appealing to her?

Argh...

"What are you doing?"

Just as Xia Liu was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and then he was knocked to the ground.

"Overbearing" didn't even begin to describe Murong Yan.

"Since you dared to desecrate Crescent Lake, don't think you can leave so easily. I won't kill you, but you must return and do ten years of hard labor!"

Murong Yan devised such a method because she disliked talking to Xia Liu while looking up at him.

Since she wanted to take him in, she had to instill some fear in him today, and in the days to come.

To let him know that even though she's beautiful and charming, her strength is not weak!

Her temper is explosive, making him fear her!

"I don't want to! I know you people, fighters stronger than ordinary people! I was deceived by a woman who is a fighter, and because of her, I can't hold my head up. I hate you fighters!"

Xia Liu feigned struggle.

Inside, he was already overjoyed.

Damn, his unintentional act had actually given him a chance to enter the Murong Family.

Simply amazing!

"Oh, this story must be very interesting, you'll tell me when we get back."

Murong Yan became intensely curious.

She had never been to the mortal world, and because of this, it had become her fatal weakness.

Her elder sister often taunted and mocked her for this very topic.

This is why Murong Yan readily agreed to bring Xia Liu home upon hearing he could provide insight into the mortal realm.

Xia Liu wasn't that bad-looking, and with no cultivation, he was just an ordinary person.

Taking him back as her attendant would also earn her some face within the family.

Her elder sister had gotten herself a handsome martial artist as an attendant, and she flaunted it to Murong Yan for half a year.

Now that she's found someone more handsome than her sister's attendant, once she decorates him a bit upon returning, he would definitely surpass her sister's attendant.

At that time, she'll definitely annoy her elder sister!

Thinking of this, Murong Yan couldn't help but smile.

However, there was one thing unfortunate: Xia Liu was just an ordinary person, with no cultivation.

Even if he had some inner qi, she could have the Elder teach him a few things.

What a pity.

"I don't want this! Let me leave!"

As Xia Liu struggled, Xiaowu patted his head: "Kid, you'd better be quiet. It's rare for the Third Miss to show mercy, and she's even taking a man home with her. You need to know she's carrying heavy responsibilities."

"So what, I don't want to go back with her."

"Dare to speak again and I'll destroy you with a single blow!"

As Xia Liu declared confidently, Murong Yan turned around. She didn't smile at him, but rather, threatened him instead.

Xia Liu knew his performance had been sufficient.

If he continued to resist, he might expose himself.

His choice was to stay silent and accept everything as it was.

To let Murong Yan think her words were that intimidating.

Yes! Just like that.

"Ha! Xiaowu, take him back, I'll go ahead and greet Elder Ye."

"Alright, Third Miss, rest assured, I'll definitely get him back safely."

After getting confirmation, Murong Yan's divine sense surged, and a cyan Divine Blade appeared.

The fierce Sword Intent enveloped the area for miles.

"Don't worry, it's the Third Miss's Sword Realm. It won't attack you."

Noticing Xia Liu's discomfort, Xiaowu explained.

"What level of martial artist is she, flying on a sword like an immortal?"

Watching Murong Yan fly away with her sword, Xia Liu showed a frightened expression.

"Hehe, I knew you'd ask. The Miss isn't a martial artist; she's a cultivator!"

"What's a cultivator?"

"It's a bit complicated, you definitely won't understand all at once. I'll explain it once you prove yourself later on."

"Prove myself? Prove what?"

Xia Liu didn't even want to live anymore, yet Murong Yan still wanted him to do what?

"Naturally, it's work. Miss lives alone in a large courtyard, and it used to be me doing everything. Now that you're here, I can take it easy, so I can tell you stories about cultivators."

Xiaowu showed a simple smile.

Although she was only sixteen, her smile already carried the budding charm.

In a few more years, she would be an enchanting beauty.

Xia Liu had nothing more to say; he even thought Xiaowu would speak up for him.

Just so she could offload her work...

"By the way, I'm Xiaowu, as in 'dancing.' And you are?"

"I'm Liu Xia."

"Liu Xia, stay, hehe, it seems you're quite destined with Third Miss."

Xiaowu giggled as she repeated Xia Liu's alias.

"Perhaps..."

Xia Liu dared not reveal his real name.

In case there's some ignorant person who moves around mortal realms and has seen or heard of him.

If he's suspected, getting through the passage to Kunwu might take more effort.

To endure this, Xia Liu decided to bear it all!

However, he still had to play his part.

Liu Hong would stay in Osmanthus Village for a year, and Sage Qingjue would surely wait for his return.

With two fifteenth-level Qi Cultivators guarding it, Osmanthus Village would certainly be fine.

But Xia Liu set a timeline: one year!

Within a year, he must enter Kunwu.

As long as he appeared in Kunwu, the people from the Beast Taming Sect would surely stop searching Osmanthus Village.

"Now that there's some time, let me tell you about the place we're heading to."

Here it comes!

Hearing Xiaowu's words, Xia Liu's mouth went dry.

The mysterious Murong Family.

The guardians of the boundary between realms—just how mysterious are they?

In Xia Li's anticipation, Xiaowu began to explain the Murong Family to Xia Liu...
