Chapter 194: Xiao Wu - Call Me Sister Xiao Wu, and I'll Help You Matchmake!
The effects appeared so quickly!
Recalling Ye Tian's previous words, Xiao Wu became even more convinced that he was an extraordinary doctor who had just descended from the mountains.
Surely, Ye Tian's master must be a legendary hidden physician.
And as someone who had inherited such profound medical skills, Ye Tian had come down from the mountains to experience the mortal world.
"This pill…" Suppressing her shock, Xiao Wu spoke calmly.
Hearing her question, Ye Tian chuckled and pointed at the gourd, saying, "Oh, this pill? My master gave it to me when I left the mountains."
Ye Tian fabricated a story.
In reality, he had refined the pill himself.
But he couldn't reveal that.
After all, he and Xiao Wu weren't that familiar yet—some things needed to be kept secret.
"Who is your master?" Xiao Wu tilted her head curiously, twitching her rabbit ears.
"I don't even know his name," Ye Tian said, looking a little melancholic before laughing lightly.
"Every time I asked, he would just tell me that his name is 'Doctor,' a healer who roams the world."
The truth was, Ye Tian simply didn't want to bother making up a name—after all, he had no master at all.
"Mm, your master must be a great healer," Xiao Wu nodded with admiration.
In her mind, she envisioned an elderly man, spirited and sage-like, with a long white beard—a perfect image of Ye Tian's supposed master.
That must be what he looks like, right? Xiao Wu thought to herself.
Shaking her head, she pulled herself out of her imagination and stared eagerly at the gourd in Ye Tian's hand.
Seeing that Ye Tian was about to store it away, Xiao Wu quickly spoke up:
"Ye Tian, can this pill be traded?"
"Hm?"
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, looking conflicted.
Xiao Wu quickly explained, "I know this was left to you by your master, and you cherish it dearly."
"But I'm not asking for it for free—I'll trade you for it!"
As she spoke, she pulled out two small bottles from her pouch and handed them to Ye Tian.
"These two bottles contain the purest Yang and Yin water from Douluo Continent. I don't know their exact uses, but they are incredibly rare. In your hands, they should be valuable."
"This should be a fair exchange, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian smirked inwardly.
Pure Yang and Yin water? Wasn't that just the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
Most likely, these two bottles were given to Xiao Wu by Tang San.
That place had an abundance of this water—it wasn't rare at all.
However, he did need this spring water to refine a pill that could neutralize the Sea God's inheritance.
And he was too lazy to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to collect it himself.
Although he had already written to Poison Douluo to send him some, who knew how many months it would take for it to arrive?
From a time-efficiency standpoint, exchanging a Heavenly Blossom Sacred Pill for these bottles was a great deal.
After all, refining this pill was ridiculously easy for him—he could produce a hundred in a single batch with a perfect success rate.
Thinking this through, Ye Tian maintained a composed expression and said, "Although my master's gifts are very precious to me…"
"He often taught me that as a healer, one must aid the world."
"If this pill can save a life in your hands, then it is a good deed."
With that, Ye Tian smiled lightly and flicked a pill from the gourd towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu quickly caught it and carefully placed it in a jade bottle from her storage space.
Then, she shoved the two bottles of spring water into Ye Tian's hands.
"I don't like owing people. You have to take these."
Ye Tian chuckled and, without refusal, stored the spring water along with the gourd in his space.
Holding the Heavenly Blossom Sacred Pill, Xiao Wu was thrilled, her rabbit ears twitching nonstop.
She beamed brightly. "Thank you so much, Ye Tian. Actually, this pill is for a friend of mine."
Tang Hao, huh?
Ye Tian smirked internally.
He remembered that Tang Hao had sustained severe internal injuries during his battle with Qian Xunji.
The Heavenly Blossom Sacred Pill could indeed heal his wounds.
But Xiao Wu shouldn't know about that.
After all, she had only met Tang Hao once five years ago.
With Tang Hao's proud nature, he would never let Xiao Wu know he was injured.
And five years ago, Xiao Wu was only at the Soul Elder level—there was no way she could have seen through the injuries of a Title Douluo.
Ye Tian was curious about this, but he couldn't directly ask Xiao Wu.
That would be like courting death.
So instead, he simply smiled and said, "Your friend is lucky to have someone as considerate as you."
Hearing Ye Tian's compliment, Xiao Wu's face lit up with a bright smile.
Her rabbit ears twitched as she said playfully,
"You're quite the sweet talker. It makes me wonder if you really just came down from the mountains."
By now, Xiao Wu had completely lowered her guard against Ye Tian. She even wanted to chat with him longer.
Ye Tian was just too interesting.
And since he wasn't even a Soul Master, he posed no threat to her.
After spending five years in the Star Dou Forest's core area, Xiao Wu often felt restless.
Her lively and outgoing nature—like that of a rabbit—made the isolation difficult for her.
Being away from human society for so long left her feeling anxious.
"The five-year promise is almost up… I wonder when Third Brother will come find me."
As she laughed, a trace of melancholy surfaced in her heart.
Ye Tian was interesting, but in her mind, her Third Brother was the one she truly longed for.
Seeing Xiao Wu's suspicion, Ye Tian raised his hands in mock innocence.
"I don't know what you mean by sweet talk. I'm just speaking the truth."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu giggled and waved him off.
"I believe you, Ye Tian, you little charmer."
Then, she raised the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Blossom Sacred Pill and grinned.
"This pill is actually for a new friend I just met."
She leaned in closer to Ye Tian, cupping her mouth as she whispered into his ear with a mischievous smile,
"I'll let you in on a secret—this new friend of mine is incredibly beautiful, and she's still single!"
Then, with an 'auntie smile,' Xiao Wu took a step back, folded her arms, and stared at Ye Tian.
"You're quite good-looking and have a great demeanor. Call me Sister Xiao Wu, and I'll set you up with her!"
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback.
Damn, they had only known each other for less than an hour, and Xiao Wu was already trying to matchmake him?
Ye Tian had no interest in this unexpected matchmaking.
But he couldn't outright reject her either.
So, he casually waved his hand.
"Forget it. I'm just a humble doctor, not even a Soul Master."
"And for someone to be your friend, she must be an outstanding Soul Master."
"There's no way we'd be a good match."
