Kapitel 3: Chapter 03: Butterfly Effect

Qingshan Town.

The original Mu Li would've spread a rumour about Xiao Yi Xian obtaining some treasures.

Which would inevitably result in everyone in the Qingshan Town coveting her treasures.

In order to prevent the treasures from falling into someone else's hand, the owner of the Thousand Medicine House, Mr Yao would then imprisone her and deploy men to keep an eye on her so that he could take the treasure for himself.

But in this timeline he didn't do any such thing. Therefore something entirely unexpected happened.

Without anyone interrupting her, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't control herself and started consuming poisons to her heart's content.

As a result her Woeful Poison Body erupted way before the original timeline.

That's why after a short walk when Mu Li reached his destination, the place was already in chaos.

A large crowd gathered around the residence of Little Fairy Doctor whispering among themselves.

Mu Li blinked his eyes feeling totally confused, 'What happened here?'

"Who would've thought that the Little Fairy Doctor was actually a poison master!"

"Look how she took advantage of our trust."

"I heard she even poisoned the servants and guards working in her manor. Those poor souls..."

"How did you know it was Xiao Yi Xian who did it?" Asked someone curiously.

His partner looked livid as he explained, "Because a few passers-by saw her escaping on the back of a giant blue eagle."

After hearing the conversation around him, Mu Li finally somewhat understood what happened here.

Woeful Poison Body eruption!

It must've happened because of the poison outbreak of her Woeful Poison Body.

After realizing this he was even more confused.

How did such a thing happen.

According to the timeline, her body would only erupt when she was living in the small valley with Xiao Yan!

'Is it the so called butterfly effect?' Mu Li thought.

But he hasn't done anything to cause such a massive disruption in the timeline.

So what sould he do now?

He scratched his head in confusion and was about to go back to make a new plan when he noticed a familiar figure among the crowd.

It was a lady wearing black robe.

Perhaps others couldn't recognise her but he could. His predecessor's insane obsession with Little Fairy Doctor had forced him to memorize every inch of Little Fairy Doctor's body.

So he instantly knew it was none other than Xiao Yi Xian. She must be here to have a look at those people she had unknowingly poisoned.

The reason doesn't matter anymore because his incident had worked in his favour. The current Xiao Yi Xian was even more vulnerable and easy to manipulate than before.

So soon a new plan formed in his mind.

With that in mind he slowly approached her.

Xiao Yi Xian had tears in her eyes. This incident reminded her of some painful memories of her past.

She felt like she was the worst person in the world. While she was feeling crestfallen someone suddenly grabbed her hand from the behind.

She was about to struggle free when she heard a familiar voice, "It's me. Come with me."

Her eyes widened under the robe hearing the voice.

'Mu Li! How did he recognise me?' She thought.

"You…" She was just about to say something but Mu Li interrupted her, "Don't talk. Let's leave this place first."

After a brief hesitation she nodded and let him drag her away. In just a short time, they arrived at a secluded rocky mountain path outside the town.

The Little Fairy Doctor was silent throughout the journey.

"Let's find a place to sit. Standing here like this will be awkward." He found a clean boulder to sit on.

After taking a seat by his side she finally removed the large black robe covering her skinny frame. Her movements were gentle and slow.

Mu Li's gaze was thrown toward the Little Fairy Doctor just at this moment as he watched her pushing back a few stray strands of her hair.

Only then did he get a good look at her.

She had long willowy eyebrows, thin red cherry lips that gave her a girl next door appearance.

Her skin was white with a hint of rosiness.

She possessed a gentleness to her that made people have an automatic urge to protect her to the death.

Mu Li inwardly nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Yi Xian was really beautiful but unfortunately she had a tragic life throughout the series.

No one said anything. They just quietly watched the scenery beyond the mountain cliff.

After a while Mu Li broke the silence, "Did it calm you down a bit?"

"Yes...." Xiao Yi Xian replied vaguely.

"So now can you tell me what happened?" Mu Li asked in a low voice but she didn't say anything for quite some time.

Just when he thought she was not ready to discuss such matters and wanted to change the subject with a joke, she began.

"When I was just eight, while picking flowers for my mother I found a mysterious looking flower." The eyes of the Little Fairy Doctor were slightly absent-minded as she recalled the past events.

"Back then I could not understand why I couldn't control myself and ate that flower. Nothing happened to me except the next morning when I woke up my mother was lying dead beside me."

"I didn't know how she died but according to the villagers it was poison. After that incident, a kind aunt took me in. She treated me like her own child and showered me with her love."

"But the good days didn't last long because just after a year the same thing happened to her. But this time I finally understood that their death was caused by me and I am poisonous."

"The villagers also realised this by now, so they banished me from the village."

"At first I thought it was just a rare illness. That's why I got myself involved in the field of medicines so that one day I could find a cure for myself."

"After meeting Mr Yao, I came to this small town. Here after receiving my treatment everyone called me Little Fairy Doctor. So I started enjoying my job of being a doctor and wanted to save as many lives as possible."

"It was not until recently when I finally learned the truth about myself that I possessed the Woeful Poison Body."

"As the owner of such a cursed physique, I am destined to bring misfortune to the people around me. I... should have died long ago." When Xiao Yi Xian mentioned the last part, a bitter smile inadvertently appeared on her face.

Mu Li was also feeling surprised. The original story never mentioned anything about her past.

So he was indeed a bit shocked after learning about her tragic past from her mouth.

He couldn't help but feel pity for Xiao Yi Xian for having such a rough and tragic childhood.

He felt like a scumbag when he realized how he was trying to take advantage of such an innocent girl.

'Sigh... It's all the fault of Xiao Yan and this villainous system.' He sighed.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard her question, "Now tell me, after knowing everything about me and my past do you still like me?"

Mu Li smiled, "Of course, I like you. Do you think you can get rid of me this easily?"

Looking at his playful manner she didn't know whether he was serious or jocking. So for a while she wasn't sure how to react.

"You don't believe me?" Looking at her unconvinced look the corners of his mouth was suddenly raised with a mischievous smile.

"No."

"Then let me show you." After saying that, he grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him. Before she could react, he raised her chin and captured her lips in an intense kiss under her horrified gaze.

Xiao Yi Xian was taken over with panic.

It was a brand new sensation which she had never experienced before. She had only read such things in some books.

She tried to push him away, but no matter how hard she tried, his body just wouldn't move.

With her feeble strength she could barely struggle against Mu Li.

After struggling for a while she gradually lost her defenses. Eventually she couldn't find any strength to fight back, and couldn't help moaning.

Her arms gave up the fight as well.

But she had no experience at it, so she got too slobbery and drooly.

With wetness dribbling down their chins, Mu Li breathed hard. He could hear their lips smacking.

Her tits pressing into his chest made the experience even more wonderful. But he stopped himself from taking it too far.

After a long time, the two parted their lips.

Looking at her, her face and neck was fully covered with sweat. Her hair was completely dishevelled and stuck to her wet face.

Her slightly red face glistening with sweat was looking incredibly sexy.

After calming down, she hurriedly wiped her mouth and chin covered in saliva on her sleeve. After doing all this, she finally gave Mu Li a hateful glare.

"Don't look at me like this, it's not my fault. You are the one who didn't believe my words. So I had to prove my words with my actions." Mu Li said with a teasing smile.

"You... How can you be so shameless?" She didn't know what else to say to such a shameless scoundrel like Mu Li.

In anger she pinched him hard on his thigh, making Mu Li scream and beg for mercy.

Although she knew he was acting, but seeing him suffering and screaming, she felt a bit better.

She also knew that deep down, she didn't entirely hate this feeling either because after so many years he was the only person who accepted her even after learning her truth.

Although she didn't like the fact that he was a scoundrel but she could barely accept what he did to her.

[Xiao Yi Xian's perception of you have changed. Xiao Yan's Fortune has decreased by 60 Points . Host's Fate Points increased by 300 Points. ]

Mu Li smiled inwardly when he saw this prompt.

He already knew that Xiao Yi Xian was not truly angry about his actions, she was just a bit dissatisfied.

And this system prompt also confirmed another one of his hypothesis. Winning heroine's heart would also award him Fate Points.

But he was still sober.

The only reason he could achieve such results was because of the combination of various circumstances around her.

Otherwise she would've never trusted him enough to come with him to a secluded location like this alone.

Let alone spending so much time with him alone. He knew he shouldn't applied this tactic with the other heroines.

But the result was good which was enough for him.

After she was comfortable around him, she actually began to talk about things that she had gone through.

Perhaps it was the first time she could say whatever she wanted, she actually told Mu Li many things.

The two of them only realized how much time had passed when the sun started to set.

Noticing the time Mu Li suggested, "Now that you can't go back to stay at your manor how about coming with me. You can stay in my guestroom until the situation calmed down a bit."

Hearing his proposal, she hesitated slightly because she was afraid of being too close to him and then causing him harm.

But seeing his hopeful eyes, she couldn't refuse him and nodded reluctantly.

"Good then, let's go to our new home."

After getting her permission, he started dragging her in the direction of Wolf Head Mercenary Company Headquarters.

Feeling such close contact with him, she had a strange inexplicable feeling in her heart.

[Xiao Yi Xian has developed some feelings for you. Xiao Yan's Fortune has dropped by 200 Points. Host's Fate Points has increased by 1000 Points. ]

When the system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind, he was left speechless by the system's message.

He never expected winning Xiao Yi Xian's heart would be this easy!

But that was good, too.

Just when he was feeling it was enough for a day and feeling complacent he heard another prompt.

[Congratulations Host for earning 1000 Fate Points. You can now access the store function. For a better first time shopping experience you will be given a 90% Discount Voucher.]
