BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

After Lin Yuan left, Mr. Yao took a few deep breaths and shouted at the staff of Wan Yao Zhai, "What are you still standing there for? Close the door! We're not doing business today."

The staff, upon hearing this, snapped back to reality and hurriedly closed the door of Wan Yao Zhai.

Mr. Yao paced back and forth in the store, contemplating the situation and what needed to be done next, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

"He wants to find the cave at the bottom of the cliff. Could there be some secret in that cave? Can I get there first? Ugh, what am I thinking? I'm such a fool, blinded by greed. Even if I find it, can I keep it safe?"

"That young powerhouse must be a genius from a major force. I definitely can't afford to offend him. I need to quickly complete the task he assigned; otherwise, it will be the end for us. If I do well, I might even receive some rewards."

"A detailed map, a map... what should I do? Got it!"

"Everyone, look over here," Mr. Yao clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention and said in a deep voice, "As you all know, we must complete the orders of that esteemed person. This concerns our lives. That person's strength far exceeds the strongest in Qingshan Town. If we don't do our jobs well, we will all die. I hope everyone can work together to get through this. For the next few days, salaries will be five times the usual."

The staff of Wan Yao Zhai were filled with mixed feelings of surprise and excitement, all echoing Mr. Yao's words.

"Yes, we will listen to Mr. Yao."

"Mr. Yao, please tell us what to do."

Mr. Yao pressed his hands down and said solemnly, "I have already thought of a plan. Zhang He, Zhang Hai, you two go gather all the cartographers in Qingshan Town. Wang Xiang, Zhao Ping, you two go to several map shops and buy various maps of the nearby Monster Beast Mountain Range. Little Medical Fairy, you and I will invite some veteran mercenaries who often explore the Monster Beast Mountain Range. The rest of you stay in the store to prepare the venue and other arrangements. This time is urgent; if we encounter problems, don't worry about the cost—throw money at the problem. Everyone, let's move out. Also, remember to keep this matter confidential."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Then everyone set off to carry out their tasks.

Mr. Yao looked at the Little Medical Fairy and suddenly recalled Lin Yuan praising her beauty, a thought crossed his mind: "If this task isn't completed, perhaps I could offer the Little Medical Fairy to that esteemed person as compensation. That esteemed person looks young, around the same age as a budding youth; maybe..."

As the thought flashed through his mind, Mr. Yao's tone when speaking to the Little Medical Fairy softened, "Little Medical Fairy, you have helped many mercenaries in Qingshan Town. I will trouble you to assist us in seeking help from some mercenaries this time."

"Mr. Yao is too polite. I am also a member of Wan Yao Zhai; it is my duty to contribute," the Little Medical Fairy nodded and replied.

"Then let's not delay. We'll set off immediately!"

With that, the two quickly headed towards a mercenary group's base. After they left Wan Yao Zhai, Lin Yuan, lying on the rooftop of a shop not far away, couldn't help but smile. He had been monitoring Wan Yao Zhai with his soul perception.

"The Little Medical Fairy really didn't reveal any information. It seems she wants to take the time to explore that cave. That's excellent; my performance wasn't in vain."

"My hint should have been understood by the manager of Wan Yao Zhai. My emphasis is both a protection for the Little Medical Fairy and..."

Soon, Wan Yao Zhai completed the preparations for mapping. The best cartographers in Qingshan Town and many mercenaries who had long explored the Monster Beast Mountain Range arrived at Wan Yao Zhai under the pressure of increased pay, starting the intense work of drawing maps to create the most detailed map of the surrounding Monster Beast Mountain Range.

By sunset, everyone had completed part of the map, and at that moment, the Little Medical Fairy walked over to Mr. Yao.

"Mr. Yao, I can't be of much help here anymore, so I'll head back first."

"Mm, Little Medical Fairy, you've worked hard during this time. I can handle the rest. The store will be closed for the next few days, so you should go home and rest well." With the intention of using the Little Medical Fairy to please Lin Yuan, Mr. Yao's attitude towards her became much more courteous.

The Little Medical Fairy nodded and turned to walk outside. "This tone and attitude suggest that Mr. Yao has something to ask of me. The change started after that person came; is it because that person praised me?" The Little Medical Fairy, who appeared gentle and innocent but had the potential to rise from a mere physician to a sect leader in a few years, was very clever and quickly guessed some things.

Mr. Yao watched the Little Medical Fairy's departing figure, his gaze lingering on her slender waist, which was tied with a green ribbon. Looking at her waist, which was barely enough to grasp, he felt a surge of heat in his heart. Suddenly, a cold face of a young man flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill. He shook his head; he valued his life more than beauty. Such a beauty was destined to be out of his reach.

After the Little Medical Fairy left Wan Yao Zhai, she walked towards her home with an unchanging expression, continuing to analyze the situation in her mind.

"That cave, which even such a powerful person values, must contain many treasures. I have the fortune to discover it first; I must not miss it."

"There are three days left until that person arrives, so I must explore the cave at the bottom of the cliff within these three days. Otherwise, if that person returns and gets the map first, it could be dangerous."

"If I obtain it in advance, no one should suspect me. After all, my strength is not enough to go there alone; they definitely wouldn't think I have a flying monster partner like Xiao Lan."

"Time is of the essence. I need to prepare tonight and tomorrow during the day, and let Xiao Lan take me there tomorrow night."

Having made her decision, the Little Medical Fairy quickened her pace towards some shops to prepare some self-defense items.

"It seems the Little Medical Fairy is already preparing to explore the cave. She's quite meticulous, splitting her purchases across several shops."

In the distance, Lin Yuan, who had been watching the Little Medical Fairy, also smiled. He admired such a woman who possessed potential, beauty, and intelligence.

"Occasionally playing the role of a dark guardian of flowers is quite interesting."

The next evening.

The Little Medical Fairy successfully arrived at a small hillside outside Qingshan Town. She patted her chest, feeling relieved that she hadn't encountered anyone after leaving the town; it was simply too lucky. It seemed even the heavens thought she should obtain the treasures inside the cave.

The Little Medical Fairy took out a bamboo flute from her bosom, placed it to her lips, and gently blew. A strange sound echoed from the flute, resonating in the tranquil night sky.

"Chirp!"

Not long after the flute sound, a sharp eagle cry rang out in the night sky.

Under the moonlight, a large blue eagle swiftly flew from deep within the mountains and soon circled above the Little Medical Fairy.

The Little Medical Fairy waved her hand, and the blue eagle swooped down. As it neared the ground, it flapped its wings and skillfully landed beside the Little Medical Fairy. Her dress fluttered in the wind, creating a beautiful and gentle scene under the night sky with her lovely face, slender waist, and flowing dress.

The Little Medical Fairy brushed aside her hair that had been blown askew by the wind, then nimbly climbed onto the back of the blue eagle. She patted the blue eagle's head, and a voice filled with warmth and a hint of excitement rang out in the night sky.

"Let's go, Xiao Lan!"

The blue eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the Monster Beast Mountain Range, carrying the Little Medical Fairy.
