Chapter 156.2 : New List!

Upon seeing her, surprise flickered in their eyes.

Not solely due to the Little Fairy Doctor's beauty.

With her Purple Color and Purple Butterfly Pearl Jade, Yunyun was undoubtedly stunning. Even in her youth, she was incomparable.

Their surprise stemmed from the uncanny resemblance between this Little Fairy Doctor and an old friend from a past life.

It was akin to encountering a first love again.

A different kind of feeling.

"Come up!" Ran gestured casually.

All eyes watched as the Little Fairy Doctor "floated into the air" and gracefully approached the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

This sight left many astounded.

What manner of control was this, to make someone soar into the air with a mere wave of a hand?

Could this young man be the legendary Dou Ancestor?

His gaze swept over Little Fairy Doctor's hand concealed beneath her sleeve, and Ran spoke gently, "Wolf Head Mercenary Company, what are your intentions?"

"Who are you?" Little Fairy Doctor (Xiao Yi Xian) inquired without answering.

"Do you know Xiao Yan?" Ran evaded the question.

"Are you his friend?" Little Fairy Doctor asked in astonishment.

"He's my younger brother," Ran affirmed.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor fell silent.

It wasn't that she doubted it; she simply didn't see a reason for a powerhouse like Ran to deceive her.

She just hadn't expected Xiao Yan to have such a formidable elder brother.

There was a surreal feeling, as if a drinking buddy had suddenly transformed into a wealthy scion.

"Forget it, let him go," Miss Xian said, retracting her gaze and casting it downward. "After all, he has been kind to me all these years, and though he may have lost his mind this time, he hasn't acted upon it yet."

"I've already exacted my revenge with my own hands. It's enough if I can depart in peace."

Initially unaware of the formidable figure seeking her, Miss Xian assumed trouble had befallen the master of Almighty Medical House, prompting her to deploy the pre-prepared poison. While not lethal, it would significantly diminish the culprit's cultivation for a period, rendering them permanently stagnant if their explosive strength wasn't taken into account during this time.

The master of Almighty Medical House held sway in Qingshan Town, yet he wasn't devoid of adversaries. In due time, Almighty Medical House would feel the repercussions.

"Let's leave then," Ran acquiesced, commanding the Amethyst Winged Lion King to depart. However, a subtle gleam flickered in his eyes unnoticed before his departure.

Thirty minutes later, atop the uppermost floor of one of the Jia Ma Empire's most opulent restaurants...

"You're suggesting I take her as my disciple," Yunyun exclaimed, pointing at the Little Fairy Doctor with surprise.

Until this moment, he hadn't grasped the significance of what Ran meant by 'practicing trumpet': to take on a new disciple in place of Nalan Yanran.

"Yeah, don't you find her worthy of being your disciple?" Ran grinned.

Yunyun's eyes swirled with uncertainty. "The Woeful Poison Body... I'm afraid I might not be able to instruct her," she admitted.

Merely in the midst of savoring gourmet desserts, Ran had discerned Little Fairy Doctor's poisonous constitution and even proffered a precious poison to awaken her Woeful Poison Body.

The Little Fairy Doctor was thunderstruck. The Poison Sutra, fortuitously acquired from the cave of a powerful individual, had expanded her reservoir of knowledge, elucidating the grim reality of the Woeful Poison Body—a path fraught with rapid ascension but also a destiny entwined with death. And with death came the toll of countless lives, hence its celestial moniker, 'calamity.'

But just as she was desperate, a faint mark appeared between her brows, forming the Hundred Healings Mark. Ran claimed it could store toxic qi from battles and condense it into poisonous pills in the future, ensuring her safety.

Disaster turned into opportunity!

Thus, the Little Fairy Doctor rose to become the top talent.

According to Ran's claim, two years challenging kings, three years facing emperors, and even five years challenging the highest of emperors wouldn't be an issue.

All she had to do was keep ingesting poison.

Yunyun watched with envy.

Yet, he never entertained the thought of taking her as a disciple.

"What do you think?" Ran asked softly.

The Little Fairy Doctor blushed under her gaze, a hint of panic in her eyes for some inexplicable reason.

"As long as Sect Master Yun doesn't mind, I don't mind," Little Fairy Doctor replied.

"Mind? Of course, I don't," Yunyun declared, "I'll arrange it for this talent!"

With the matter settled, Ran spent an afternoon with the two girls in the imperial capital, purchasing them numerous expensive clothes and jewelry.

After dinner, he made excuses and returned to the ninja world.

In the following days, he traveled regularly between the three worlds.

He ate three meals a day in the Shokugeki no Soma World, observed the situation in the Heavenly Flame Continent concerning Zi Cai and Zi Die, and occasionally enjoyed afternoon tea with Miss Yun Yun, master and apprentice.

The rest of the time, he focused on preparing to unite the ninja world.

Seven days later, the Five Kages Meeting convened in the Iron Country.

Ran sat at the head, observing the other four shadows and some leaders from small ninja villages who had come voluntarily. He smiled and said, "Shall we talk now, or after the Golden List are released?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and murmured among themselves.

Ran didn't interrupt.

Eventually, Onoki, speaking as a representative, said, "We'll discuss it after the weapon list is announced. Agreed?"

There was a playful glint in Ran's eyes.

Did they think they could gain more leverage after the gold list was out?

Foolish, they had missed their last opportunity.

"Very well," Ran agreed.

Onoki treated everyone to delicacies from the world of halberds.

Time passed.

Finally,

The golden list in the sky once again illuminated the scene.
