Su Yun was unaware of what had happened at the Xiao Family; he had already returned home.
The move to collaborate with the Xiao Family would take some time to show significant results.
True strength lies in the mind, and he had patience.
Choosing not to meet Xiao Yan directly today was a wise decision; he needed a good reason, one that wouldn't seem too abrupt.
"Brother!"
Little Medical Fairy's face lit up with a smile as she saw Su Yun return.
Seeing Little Medical Fairy run towards him, Su Yun's heart also filled with warmth.
Although he had initially taken her in because of her potential, after spending time together, they had become like a family, like siblings striving to survive in this harsh world.
As they embraced, a hint of worry flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
The issue of the Calamity Poison Body remained unresolved, and he couldn't put it out of his mind.
Reviving his beloved in this world was no easy task.
Moreover, with Little Medical Fairy's soul strength, there was no guarantee her soul wouldn't dissipate upon death.
A person's life must have something to protect; otherwise, a life without desires or needs is not a life at all. Even if one becomes powerful, the loneliness and desolation can drive one mad.
These words, spoken by the Medicine Master to Xiao Yan in the original story, echoed in his mind. He understood their meaning.
He didn't understand the grand truths of life's meaning, but he knew that Little Medical Fairy was his family, and that was enough.
"Brother, can you take Xian'er out for a walk? Xian'er hasn't been out for a long time."
Little Medical Fairy whispered softly in his arms.
Su Yun chuckled.
During the time she had been with him, Little Medical Fairy had mostly stayed indoors, both before and after their move.
It was normal for her to want to go out and play.
"Let's go! Brother will take you out today."
"Yay!"
Little Medical Fairy cheered, she had been cooped up for too long!
It was still early in the day, so Su Yun took Little Medical Fairy to the market in Wu Tan City.
He had previously visited all the markets in Wu Tan City to gather materials for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, so he was familiar with the area, knowing where to find good food and entertainment.
They spent the whole day in Wu Tan City.
While there wasn't much for Su Yun to enjoy, Little Medical Fairy was different.
Wu Tan City was the largest city she had ever been to. Previously, she had only visited Green Mountain Town a few times with her parents, so everything was new and exciting.
Whenever Little Medical Fairy saw something she liked, Su Yun would buy it for her. With his wealth, such trinkets and toys were insignificant.
They shopped until it was dark, returning home with a collection of large and small packages.
In the city, with many people around, they couldn't store the items in their storage rings directly.
At a crossroads, Su Yun suddenly pulled Little Medical Fairy's hand and turned into an alley.
Huh?
Little Medical Fairy looked at Su Yun with confusion.
They were almost home, so why were they taking a detour?
"Xian'er, keep your eyes forward, don't look back, and don't make a sound. Someone is following us."
Su Yun whispered in Little Medical Fairy's ear.
Huh?!
Little Medical Fairy's body stiffened for a moment before she returned to normal.
Though young, she was very smart.
A cold glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
This was the way of the world; even if you stayed out of trouble, trouble would find you.
Weakness was a sin.
They hadn't revealed their storage rings, but the gold coins they used for shopping were enough to tempt unscrupulous people.
The tracker was skilled, clearly an experienced hand.
But after a year in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and with the Medicine Master's knowledge, Su Yun's eyes were sharp, and he had spotted the tail long ago.
Name: Little Black
Gender: Male
Cultivation: Five-star Fighter
Constitution: None
Attribute: Wood
Martial Technique: Advanced Yellow Rank - *Mountain Chicken Scripture*
Combat Skill: Advanced Yellow Rank - *Chicken Ball*
He had already seen this person's stats in the market.
This place was good.
Little Black surveyed the surroundings, a desolate area, and revealed himself.
"The two little brats up ahead, hand over all your gold coins!"
Little Black grinned maliciously, confidently showing himself. Two kids in their teens, how much cultivation could they possibly have? With his strength, capturing them would be a piece of cake.
Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy pretended to be afraid. Su Yun pulled out some gold coins from his pocket and placed the items on the ground.
"Here, here are your coins. Please spare us."
Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy clung to each other, looking panicked, but a cold light flashed in their eyes. Little Black was in for a rude awakening!
Although Little Black was four stars higher, the martial techniques and combat skills he practiced were of a low rank. With Su Yun's strength, defeating him was not difficult.
However, Little Medical Fairy was still there, so he had to ensure a one-hit kill!
Little Black looked smug. He had noticed these two kids in the market, buying everything in sight.
He had observed carefully and found no guards around them, so they were likely not from a powerful family.
They must have come into some unexpected wealth, which would be a lucky break for him.
Little Black was completely unguarded.
In his mind, kids their age would be considered prodigies if they had five-stage Martial Qi cultivation.
Little Black slowly approached Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy. As he got closer, Su Yun's confidence in a one-hit kill increased.
Sixty percent...
Seventy percent...
Eighty percent...
*Eight Extremes Collapse* was a close-combat skill, and he had already mastered it. This person had not practiced any advanced defensive skills, and his martial technique was not of the earth attribute, which would provide better defense.
If the first strike hit, it would be fatal!
His confidence grew, but Su Yun didn't act immediately. The man was already blinded by greed; the moment he picked up the gold coins would be his downfall.
Little Black walked up to them, not bothering to deal with them first, and squatted down to pick up the gold coins.
The moment Little Black's hand touched the gold coins, Su Yun struck.
*Eight Extremes Collapse*!
Su Yun's elbow struck Little Black's forehead.
What!
Little Black roared in his mind, trying to stand up, but his body flew backward, out of control.
"Explode!"
Without hesitation, Su Yun triggered the eight layers of hidden force he had injected into Little Black's body.
Little Black's head exploded, and red and white matter splattered the ground.
"Ugh..."
Seeing this gruesome scene, Little Medical Fairy looked uncomfortable, covering her mouth with her small hand and crouching on the ground.
Su Yun quickly squatted down and patted Little Medical Fairy's back.
Such a bloody scene was normal for her to find distressing.
He had experienced something similar in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
The enemies in the Demon Beast Mountain Range were not just beasts...
Robbery and murder were common occurrences.
Su Yun collected the items and gold coins from the ground, stored them in his storage ring, and carried Little Medical Fairy back home.
Back at home, Su Yun comforted Little Medical Fairy for a while. That night, Little Medical Fairy lay on Su Yun's bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Phew, that was a short chapter, but it's finally time to sign the contract.
Ah, please give me some recommendation tickets!
