Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Little Fairy Doctor Must Be Mine
Xiao Yan's overly sweet words sent a shiver down Little Fairy Doctor's spine. Just as she was about to speak again, she heard Xiao Yan's voice.
"As for Nalan Yanran, I will find a suitable Opportunity to gracefully annul this engagement."
Xiao Yan's words made Little Fairy Doctor's small mouth slightly agape.
"No way, buddy, are you serious? You're giving up such a good fiancée for me?"
Little Fairy Doctor found Xiao Yan's actions truly incomprehensible.
At this moment, even she couldn't help but look around, wondering what extraordinary charm she had suddenly acquired to make this legendary Genius youth so infatuated.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. My decision to annul the engagement with Nalan Yanran actually has little to do with you."
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's astonished expression, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
"The main reason is that I don't want to be with her."
Xiao Yan's feelings for Nalan Yanran were indeed somewhat indescribable.
Although in his previous life, after tens of thousands of years, the humiliation of the annulment had long been forgotten by Xiao Yan. Even after he became an Emperor, he and Nalan Yanran had become good friends.
But in truth, both of them knew perfectly well that no matter how close they seemed, they could never truly be together.
The annulment back then, no matter how insignificant it seemed later, was at least a deep scar in Xiao Yan's heart at the time.
Even if this scar later became almost invisible, and Xiao Yan even regarded this experience as a memory of time.
But no matter what, it was a sharp edge that completely severed their fate, making it impossible for Xiao Yan to develop romantic feelings for this woman.
Even with his Rebirth, even if Nalan Yanran wouldn't repeat her actions from back then, Xiao Yan still wouldn't fall for Nalan Yanran.
So, rather than that, it's better to act early.
Xiao Yan planned that after returning from the Demon Beast Mountain Range this time, he would proactively visit the Nalan Family and annul the engagement.
Of course, he wouldn't retaliate by being as unreasonable as Nalan Yanran was back then; instead, he would try his best to give the Nalan Family a respectable outcome.
Besides, if he didn't annul the engagement with that girl, what would he do about Yun Yun?
Recalling the woman with whom he also had an ambiguous relationship in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor in front of him and suddenly wanted to slap himself.
"Xiao Yan, oh Xiao Yan, when did you become so unfaithful?"
He didn't think about it, but when he truly did, he realized that he had accumulated quite a few emotional debts in his previous life, and these were just the deeply entangled ones; as for the shallower ones, they were countless more.
In the Dou Qi Continent back then, how many excellent women remained unmarried for life because they had met him just once?
After the two finally moved past this topic, led by Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the central hall of the Wanyao Firm and encountered a vaguely familiar figure from his memory.
It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, but his status in Qingshan Town could be considered wealthy. This person was Boss Yao of the Wanyao Firm.
Next to Boss Yao, there was a young man with a handprint on his face, none other than Qin Cao, the Wanyao Firm's attendant whom Xiao Yan had slapped.
The moment Boss Yao saw Xiao Yan, he immediately approached him with a fawning expression.
He carefully scrutinized Xiao Yan with his eyes, then chuckled and asked, "Young brother, are you the Genius youth from Utan City, Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Qin Cao, who stood behind Boss Yao, and understood that after he had revealed his name, the mercenaries outside must have guessed his identity.
After all, an Alchemist of his age, not to mention rare, was almost impossible to appear. In the entire Empire, he was probably the only one.
"Hehe, my name is indeed Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan nodded, neither admitting nor denying, but regardless, it made the enthusiastic smile on Boss Yao's face even wider.
"Hehehe, it is truly an honor for our Wanyao Firm that Brother Xiao Yan can stay with us.
Little Fairy Doctor, find Brother Xiao Yan a decent guest room and arrange for his comfortable stay."
Boss Yao quickly instructed, his gaze towards Little Fairy Doctor containing a hint of peculiarity.
"Understood, Boss Yao."
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor nodded lightly, her voice not particularly respectful.
Although she also worked for the Wanyao Firm, her status was completely different from Qin Cao's.
Firstly, she possessed medical skills that ranked among the best in all of Qingshan Town.
Secondly, her agile temperament and gentle demeanor made all the mercenaries in Qingshan Town greatly support her. Therefore, her position in the Wanyao Firm was not low.
After Little Fairy Doctor led Xiao Yan away, Boss Yao finally looked at Qin Cao beside him with satisfaction.
Thanks to this kid for tipping him off; otherwise, if he had been foolish enough to offend this Xiao Yan, he would have been in deep trouble.
Even if this Xiao Yan wasn't the one from Utan City, to possess such strength at this age was incredibly promising. And if he was the one from Utan City...
Thinking of this, Boss Yao's heart rate subtly accelerated.
"Looking at this kid, he seems very interested in Little Fairy Doctor. If I can bring Little Fairy Doctor and him together, that would be a tremendous Opportunity."
Boss Yao's smile widened. Although he also had some thoughts about Little Fairy Doctor, in the face of this tremendous Opportunity, what was beauty to him?
To achieve the position of Boss of the Wanyao Firm with the strength of an ordinary Dou Disciple, he was not one of those lust-driven fools.
"You usually act so dull, kid, but I didn't expect you to be so clever this time."
Glancing at Qin Cao beside him, Boss Yao satisfactorily pulled a money pouch from a drawer and tossed it to Qin Cao.
"Here's five hundred gold coins, your reward!"
"Thank you, Boss, thank you, Boss."
Taking the heavy bag of gold coins, Qin Cao's face instantly broke into a smile.
Qingshan Town, Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Mu Li, supported by two mercenaries, returned with a miserable expression, embracing a grim-faced middle-aged man.
"Father, you must avenge me! That kid named Xiao Yan is simply lawless; he even dared to hit me."
"He hit you, but didn't you make the first move? Haven't you heard from the other mercenaries that this kid might be the legendary Genius Xiao Yan from the Gama Empire?
It's a good thing his attention was focused on Little Fairy Doctor; otherwise, if you had offended him badly, do you think he wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Hearing Mu Li's desire for revenge, Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Unlike the previous life, Xiao Yan's reputation had already spread to Qingshan Town in this life.
It was said that his backing sect casually dispatched a Four-Star Alchemist to support his Family. Such a powerful force, how immense must it be? How could a small Wolf Head Mercenary Group possibly provoke them?
"Little Fairy Doctor?"
Hearing this, Mu Li instantly became more agitated.
"Father, no! Little Fairy Doctor must be mine!"
Hearing Mu Li's voice, Mu She's eyelids suddenly twitched, and his anger surged. He slapped him across the face.
"You good-for-nothing, still thinking about women at a time like this."
