(To prevent the book from being censored, the Little Fairy Doctor is named Xia Hanmo.)
Yuanyang Town, the streets were completely deserted.
Or rather, the people remaining in the town at this moment were very few, all of them truly powerless to fight for the fortuitous encounters.
Their cultivation bases were not high, and they made a living by hunting.
Either old and weak.
Or women and children.
Or they were cowed by the authority of the Mercenary Association, or knew they couldn't compete, so they stayed behind.
Ye Shu stood on the eaves of a roof, quietly looking at this somewhat silent little town.
Xia Hanmo stood behind him, looking at the distant fading lights of the Mercenary Association, which obviously had far fewer people now.
Gone.
Just like that, they were so easily tricked away?
"Let's go."
The night breeze blew Ye Shu's clothes as he stepped down from the eaves. "Let's go burn that place to ashes!"
"Really?" Xia Hanmo followed closely behind him, her heartbeat involuntarily speeding up slightly. Doing bad things while others were away—she had never experienced such a thing in her entire life.
Just thinking about it made her a little excited.
In that illusory dream, the guy in front of her had never done anything so thrilling. Although using "her" to release poison was also insidious, this feeling was completely different.
The people from the Mercenary Association were truly bad guys!
And she was a participant!
It felt like being a bad kid.
So thrilling! So thrilling!
Xia Hanmo clenched her fists, her large eyes full of excitement.
Now, even if she died, it would be worth the price of admission!
"Halt! Who goes there!"
The two walked straight to the entrance of the Mercenary Association, and the two guards left at the door immediately drew their swords at them.
Whoosh~
Before Ye Shu could even make a move, a fragrant breeze wafted by.
The guards who had just drawn their swords immediately went limp, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
"They are just working here, there's no need to kill them."
Xia Hanmo withdrew her sleeve and explained.
The memories from the illusory dream still made her a little afraid, afraid that this guy would kill anyone he saw, saying things like 'if you don't pull up the roots when cutting weeds, they will grow back with the spring breeze,' and kill the workers as well.
"I never planned to kill them," Ye Shu replied, then kicked the main doors open and shouted loudly.
"Robbery! Put your hands on your heads and squat down!"
"The money belongs to others, but your lives are your own! If you don't want to die, squat down obediently and give up resisting!"
"Eh?"
Xia Hanmo was stunned.
Is it really this blatant? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they sneak around and take things quietly while people are away? What's with being so open about it?
"B-b-b-big brother, p-please don't kill me!"
"I-I-I-I'll give you all the money!"
The maids in the hall all held their heads and squatted down.
"Who goes there!!!"
At the same time, an angry shout came from the third floor of the Mercenary Association, followed by a heavy sound of something piercing the air.
Bang—
A massive figure descended from the sky, smashing fiercely into the hall's floor and creating a large crater.
The newcomer wore animal skins, stood eight feet tall, with wide, tiger-like eyes, and carried a ten-foot-long halberd on his back that glinted with a cold light.
It was none other than the vice president of the Mercenary Association—Zhao Liefeng!
"I wondered who it was, so it's you, little girl. What, you found a paramour, your wings have grown hard, and you dare to come run wild in my Mercenary Association?" Zhao Liefeng's gaze first fell on Xia Hanmo's face, then looked at Ye Shu, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"A mere Foundation Establishment kid dares to clamor here?"
"Once I slay this paramour of yours, I'll take you, little girl, into my room as a concubine. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Facing such insults, Ye Shu was not annoyed.
He turned his head and looked at Xia Hanmo. "Has this person committed evil? Has he done wrong? What are his crimes, and does he deserve to die?"
Xia Hanmo nodded.
"He is Mu Lei's sworn brother. He often oppresses the people in the town and has even forcibly abducted civilian women."
"Then this is easy."
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, completely ignoring him, Zhao Liefeng was instantly enraged and reached back to draw his halberd.
"What are you muttering about!"
"Take my halberd!"
The moment his words fell.
Ye Shu moved.
He raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Swish!
A pale white figure instantly appeared beside him, then extended two fingers, gently catching the thrusting halberd tip, as effortless as the Buddha picking a flower.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Zhao Liefeng's pupils shrank drastically, his eyes widening to the point of tearing.
This strike contained one hundred percent of his strength, yet this guy who popped out of nowhere didn't even tremble his hand?
This thing isn't human at all!
While he was stunned, Ye Shu's figure disappeared.
The next instant, he appeared right in front of Zhao Liefeng.
Supreme Rush, Divine Movement!
At the same time, his right arm bent, his elbow glowing brightly as all the spiritual energy in his body poured into it at this moment.
Heart Sea, Starry Zenith Strike!
This elbow struck fiercely into Zhao Liefeng's heart.
Bam!
Zhao Liefeng's chest instantly caved in, his ribs letting out a crisp, overwhelmed crack. The halberd slipped from his grasp, and his entire body flew backward, slamming hard into the wall and embedding into it.
"You..."
He raised his head, gave Ye Shu a look of disbelief, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His head tilted to the side, and he fell asleep.
Zhao Liefeng, out!
Seeing that even the vice president had lost, the rest of the mercenaries hiding in the corners immediately scattered like birds and beasts, running away all at once.
Meanwhile, Xia Hanmo's mouth was wide open, her eyes full of disbelief.
This was a late-stage Golden Core vice president, and he was instantly killed just like that?
Clearly, in her memories, this guy wasn't this powerful!
With a flash between Ye Shu's fingers, the paper puppet instantly returned.
"Let's go loot the spoils of war."
"O-okay."
Xia Hanmo snapped back to her senses and hurriedly followed.
The first floor was a normal reception hall, holding nothing of value.
The second floor was a storehouse, piled high with various spiritual plants and spirit stones, all of which were the cuts the association took from the mercenaries.
At a rough estimate, there were at least two hundred thousand.
Now, they all belonged to Ye Shu.
"We're rich! We're rich!"
"Absolutely rich!"
Xiaobai was so excited her face turned bright red. "As expected, robbing things is the fastest way, hahahahaha! It's all mine, all mine! Ahahahahahaha!"
She stood on Ye Shu's shoulder, looked at the mountain of spirit stones in the warehouse, twisted her waist to warm up, and then took a fierce dive down.
Crack—
Her tender head immediately crashed into the spirit stones, emitting a crisp sound.
"Wooo..."
Xiaobai clutched her head, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Idiot, did you think this was water? It's solid, solid!" Ye Shu picked her up, somewhat speechless, and rubbed her little head.
"That's how it is in the movies..."
Xiaobai argued pitifully.
Ye Shu shook his head, then stored these spirit stones in his spatial ring and strode toward the third floor.
The third floor was Mu Lei's private space.
"Tsk tsk... Quite a few good things."
Ye Shu rummaged around and pulled out many good items.
There were Profound-tier cultivation methods, high-tier martial techniques, and even quite a few weapons. The lowest quality among them was Profound-tier. It was just a pity there were no Earth-tier magical treasures.
Ye Shu didn't mind and pocketed them all.
Rob the rich to feed the poor, rob the rich to feed the poor.
He was the poor one, after all.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from outside the room.
"Ye Shu! Come quick, come quick!"
"Look what I found!"
Hearing this, Ye Shu hurried out of the room. He saw Xia Hanmo standing in a corner, waving at him excitedly like a little girl who had just discovered a hidden treasure.
"What did you find to be so excited about?"
Ye Shu walked over with a face full of suspicion. Xia Hanmo wore a mysterious expression as she opened the door.
Instantly, brilliant light shot out.
The blinding radiance flashed across his eyes.
When he recovered and his vision cleared, he realized that this small room was filled with fist-sized orbs emitting a faint white glow.
"These are demonic beast cores!"
Xia Hanmo was brimming with excitement. "They can be used as medicinal ingredients. The ones here are at least from Tier-3 demonic beasts! We could sell them for a fortune!"
"Beast cores?"
Ye Shu paused, seemingly struck by a thought.
He looked deeply at Xia Hanmo's face, staring at the light in her eyes.
"What is it? Is there something on my face?"
Xia Hanmo turned back, looking at him in confusion.
"There's light in your eyes."
Ye Shu smiled. Then, with a grand wave of his hand, he swept all the beast cores into his storage.
"Hey! I found those!!!" Xia Hanmo panicked, stomping her feet in anger. "How could you just snatch my things? You're so unreasonable!"
"You're someone who wants to commit suicide. What use do you have for these?"
"You!"
Xia Hanmo choked on her words, her face flushing red with anger. She couldn't speak for a long while.
Ye Shu ignored her and headed upstairs on his own. He walked all the way to the highest point of the Mercenary Association, standing on the roof of the pavilion and looking down at the town.
Then, he took out the spatial bags he had just confiscated.
Swish, swish, swish—
Like dragons and snakes dancing from a brush, he swiftly duplicated hundreds of copies of those Profound-tier cultivation techniques and martial arts.
"What are you doing?" Xia Hanmo asked curiously.
"Can't you tell?"
Ye Shu replied calmly. He took out another spatial bag, pulled out the spirit stones inside, and tossed them into the air.
Whoosh—
A sky full of paper and spirit stones rained down, covering every corner of the small town in an instant.
Next, he raised his right hand.
A cluster of purple flame appeared out of thin air, and he casually flicked it forward.
Boom!!!
The pavilion beneath their feet instantly burst into flames.
"Come on, let's burn this place to ashes together!"
Ye Shu threw his hands up and laughed heartily.
Xia Hanmo stood behind him, staring blankly at the youth who was acting like a madman. The firelight illuminated his side profile, forming a stark contrast to the cunning figure from her illusions.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked.
"I don't know. Don't you think it looks cool?"
Ye Shu sat on the eaves, finding it rather amusing to watch the people below, whose faces were filled with terror and confusion as they faced this countless wealth of unknown origin.
Suddenly, he began to chant aloud:
When life goes well, be joyous and bold,
Let not the moon face an empty cup of gold.
Heaven gave me talents, and they shall be employed,
A thousand gold pieces scattered will return to be enjoyed!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
