“Becoming a doctor, you have shed your former mortal shell, and now bear the strong and robust body of someone far superior.

You could use this newfound strength to make a good life for you and your sisters in this frontier city—an existence without shame or hassle.”

“But could a golden scale be a mere decoration in the pond?”

“It was another spring, and Xu·Xiao Han·Shu, now seventeen, sat in a unicorn carriage waiting to head to the Demon Beast Mountain range.

Recalling recent events, an amused smile couldn’t help but spread across his handsome and refined face.”

“You’ve completely mastered the abilities of a doctor.”

“Although a doctor, you still couldn’t cultivate Sword Qi, rendering your personal combat capability quite poor.

Despite the significant enhancement of your physical attributes, compared to real combat professions, your ability to inflict damage was very limited, unless you released the soul ring, which is a double-edged self-destructive tactic.”

“However, your healing power could indeed boost the combat abilities of others, like your sisters.”

“You could heal their bodies and soothe their minds, and even, for a short period after use, temporarily increase their strength.

It was a perfect match.”

“But such power comes with risks.

After all, to have great strength dependent on others—what if someone betrays you?”

“Thus, you began to operate from behind the scenes.

You deliberately created scenarios where you would be alone with each sister, in danger where they could easily leave you behind, or even kill you, to survive.”

“And the outcome was that your sisters would rather die before allowing harm to come to you.

They were unwilling to live at the expense of your life.”

“Human nature is not equipped to resist temptation, yet your sisters withstood the test.

You confirmed that these thirteen utterly loyal sisters would become your absolute strength.”

“Therefore, you solidified your path—the path of the elder sister.”

“Like the ancient emperors, you would lead from the front.”

“Yet Xiao Xuan’er was a slight exception.

Due to her superior strength, she was always the one to go along with your act, making it impossible for you to test her absolute loyalty to you.

But this was unlikely to be a significant issue.”

“Afterward, you and your sisters began clearing the nearby Demon Beast Mountain range, embarking on a half-year stint of shame-free monster hunting and leveling.”

“All your sisters reached the Sword Spirit level of cultivation, with Xiao Xuan’er advancing to become a Nine-star Sword Spirit, just a step away from the Sword King.”

“And you, as a doctor·First Rank, have reached level 18/18, the limit at which you could no longer level up without advancing.”

“The Little Grass God Soul Ring in your mind told you that to enhance your strength, you must continuously absorb more Divine Souls to bond with.”

“Divine Souls are exceedingly precious, often hoarded or imprisoned secretly by powerful beings, which might be the Human Clan or something else.”

“You realized that Wutan City could no longer support your growth; it was time to leave the ‘newbie’ village.”

“Wutan City stood isolated, backed by the perilous Demon Beast Mountain.”

“The Demon Beast Mountain was fraught with danger—immense and heaven-defying, where no crane could fly over, and monkeys would struggle to climb.”

“It was very dangerous because the deeper you ventured, the more powerful demons you encountered, and without sufficient supplies, you would be grinded down.”

“But what was impossible for others was possible for you because you were a unique healing profession on this continent.”

“Under your strong backing, your thirteen sisters began their rampant adventures in the Demon Beast Mountain, fighting without fear of exhaustion, hurling their mightiest skills without concern for mana, because with you there, they’d never run out.”

“In the New Calendar year 3366, the new ruler of Qin Country, Emperor Hai of Zhao ascended to the throne, declaring it the first year of Tianqi.”

“It was in this year that around the Demon Beast Mountain range of Qin Country, most beasts were slain leaving only the cubs, causing a large number of mercenaries who lived off the mountain to lose their livelihoods.

They were forced to join the formal ranks for sustenance.”

“You and your sisters arrived at Qin Country’s capital, Xianyang, where all mercenary groups were abuzz with the legend of the ‘Witch Demon King and the Tianqi Thirteen Holy Knights’.”

“Your sisters had all progressed to the Sword King Realm, and the most talented Xiao Xuan’er had even reached the One-star Sword Emperor.”

“You were eighteen now, coming to Xianyang City to fulfill a marriage agreement, set to marry Nolan Qiushui, now the Sect Leader of Chaotian Sect.”

“Xiao Han, why do you still not have even a trace of cultivation?” Members of the Nolan Family frown upon seeing the marriage document you brought.

Xu Shu chuckled.

Is this how it’s going to be?

Two years had passed, and Nolan Qiushui’s fame as the new Sect Leader of Chaotian Sect had spread throughout Qin Country; the sect flourished under her management.

The Medicine King Xu Fu had repeatedly come to the Nolan Family to propose a marriage alliance, and the Nolan House was filled to the brim with Sword Heart Condensing Pills.

Xu Shu had just witnessed a direct descendant of the Nolan Family eating these pills like jelly beans.

Clearly, compared to Medicine King Xu Fu, “Xiao Han” was nothing but an ant on the ground, and the Nolan Family seemed intent on breaking off the marriage.

But then the scene changed, and Nolan Qiushui had returned.

She grew even more beautiful over the two years apart.

Her demeanor now was like that of an Empress due to her long tenure in a high position.

Xu Shu admired her character portrait back and forth for a while and continued the saga:

“It’s been a long time, Sister Qiushui.

I heard from your uncles that you’re set to marry Medicine King Xu Fu.

Congratulations.” You teased her with a remark.

Nolan Qiushui held her head high, “Who told you that?”

“They did.” You pointed at the Nolan Family uncles present, who each nodded in agreement, declaring, “This marriage arrangement is hereby canceled.”
