Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

As they started walking, Xiao Yan sighed softly, his eyes glancing at the pair.

In his heart, Xiao Yan muttered irritably, 'I don't know why I'm being dragged into such a troublesome lovers' love drama.'

While taking a step, El glanced at Xiao Yi Xian casually before asking, "May Ji know your name?" he then added with a little explanation, "Dao Ji's name is Ji Lan."

Xiao Yi Xian, who was beginning to feel the atmosphere lighter, smiled sweetly. "Xiao Yi Xian, that is my name," she replied in a friendly tone, before directing her gaze at Xiao Yan. "And you... Your name is Xiao Yan, right?"

Xiao Yan, who felt himself now completely dragged into this interaction, nodded while holding his breath. "Yes, as Ji Lan said earlier. My name is Xiao Yan."

Along the way, light conversation filled their steps. El started the chatter, asking about the caravan that carried a lot of medical herbs, belonging to the Jie Lie clan.

Xiao Yi Xian recognized the name, and when Xiao Yan tried to dig deeper, Xiao Yi Xian only smiled faintly. "I will let you know if I deliver it to the mercenary group safely."

Xiao Yan asked El, but El was just like Xiao Yi Xian, he also had no intention of providing information that he did not have.

In fact, El did not even know anything. He had only gotten lost in this forest and had unknowingly circled around for two days.

Meanwhile, the only one who really knew the path traveled by the Jie Lie clan caravan was Xiao Yi Xian.

After a short journey, they arrived at the Wolf Head Mercenary encampment. The encampment was located near a steep cliff, protected by two low rock cliffs that served as natural walls.

A large wooden gate stood firmly in the center, equipped with a simple watchtower also made of wood.

Inside, dozens of tents stood, inhabited by various mercenary groups. However, most were from the Wolf Head Mercenary, making the place known as their headquarters.

When El, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian arrived, the campsite was in chaos. A group of Magic Beasts, snake-tailed Pumas, attacked mercilessly.

The animals were shaped like saber-toothed tigers with rock-hard scaly black bodies and fiery red eyes, emitting a deadly aura.

Chaos ensued. Most of the mercenaries fled, including some members of the Wolf Head Mercenary.

Only a handful remained, trying to fight back despite their obvious fear.

Xiao Yan immediately joined the battle, drawing his black iron sword from his back to face the snake-tailed Puma.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian focused on the wounded, ordering El to help him.

El was actually tempted to fight the Magic Beasts alone, their strength was no match for her.

However, once Xiao Yi Xian gave the order to help the victims, for no apparent reason, El immediately obeyed her words.

El let out an imaginary sigh, as if to release an invisible burden, 'I don't know why my body has become such a love slave idiot?' El said in his mind.

Meanwhile, El's hands continued to move deftly, treating the wounded. Calmly, he stopped the bleeding using acupuncture point pressure techniques.

After that, El cleaned the laceration with alcohol, applied a medicine made from Aku Poison Pearl, and carefully wrapped it with a bandage.

The techniques El used were the result of the teachings of Yuri, who often emphasized the importance of conventional methods in medicine, especially for emergency situations.

Unlike Xiao Yi Xian, who uses Dou, a water element-based healing technique.

This made El a little confused due to the lack of information about Xiao Yi Xian's elemental affinity.

Did Xiao Yi Xian have two elemental affinities, poison and water, or was the water element healing technique obtained through a certain training method?

However, El chose not to think too much about it. She decided to focus entirely on the patient in front of his, ensuring that the treatment provided remained optimal.

In between his busy schedule, Yuri's voice rang out in his mind, full of mocking tone. 'Hihi... My disciple, it seems that your body will not stop being a love slave before you taste Xiao Yi Xian's innocence. You are a male bastard, not enough Seitanshi and eyeing another innocent girl."

El refrained from snapping, feeling inappropriate against his teacher. He just sighed, trying to ignore the comment. 'Master, please don't mock me,' he replied coldly in thought. 'This is not what I want."

Beside his, Xiao Yi Xian smiled in admiration. "Besides being a pervert, you're great too... your techniques in healing are very unusual," she said while still busy helping the victim.

El replied casually, "Ji was taught this technique by Master."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at her curiously. "Hmm, are you from a certain sect? Your accent sounds a little different for someone our age, very conservative."

El calmly replied, "Ji and Master are from a distant sect. But we chose to wander in search of life experience."

While El and Xiao Yi Xian chatted while treating wounds, Xiao Yan faced the Magic Beasts bravely and superbly from the start.

Xiao Yan's appearance was a mesmerizing sight. With his black iron sword, he moved nimbly, parrying attacks and delivering counter blows with precision.

Each slash was full of vigor, showing experience and unwavering determination.

The members of the Wolf Head Mercenary who had initially panicked and intended to flee began to stall. They witnessed how Xiao Yan managed to keep up with and even suppress the Magic Beasts.

In the confusion, the flame of enthusiasm began to return. Seeing an opportunity to turn the tide, they immediately decided to help Xiao Yan.

The weapons in their hands were again raised, and they joined the battle.

With cooperation beginning to be established, the resistance against the Magic Beasts became more organized, giving a glimmer of hope to those who had previously been close to despair.

After the battle ended, the remnants of the Magic Beasts fled with their tails between their legs, leaving the campsite in a finally peaceful silence.

The Mercenaries cheered with excitement even though their bodies were scarred and exhausted, while Xiao Yan collapsed exhausted on the ground, his breathing labored.

With difficulty, Xiao Yan got up and dragged his greatsword towards a nearby shady tree to rest.

The shade of the tree provided some comfort from the searing heat, his sweat-soaked body clearly visible in the sunlight.

El and Xiao Yi Xian, who had just finished their task of treating the victims, walked over to him.

El handed the water bag to Xiao Yan with a simple gesture. "It seems like it was very tiring," he said with a distinctive cold tone.

"It was!" replied Xiao Yan as he accepted the water bag and drank it. After a few sips, he looked at El with a curious gaze. "Why aren't you helping? You must be very strong, right?"

El simply sighed, then glanced at Xiao Yi Xian next to his. "Ji hopes to help," he replied briefly, but with meaning.

Xiao Yan caught his meaning and smiled weakly while shaking his head. "Your condition seems to be very difficult, my friend..." he murmured in a teasing tone.

Feeling backed into a corner, Xiao Yi Xian furrowed her brows and then hit the two of them anxiously. "Are you two blaming me?!" she exclaimed, hitting them with her fists.

El and Xiao Yan merely exchanged glances, letting the punch land without a fight. To them, Xiao Yi Xian's strength was nothing more than a caress of wind, but they chose not to retaliate.
