The person who arrived was Feng Ninghe, who had just left the Zhenguo Duke's mansion with Xiao Zhao.
Axi's gaze swept over Xiao Zhao, his tone filled with undisguised urgency, "Do you have a way to cure her?"
Feng Ninghe clasped Si Xin Xin's tender and delicate small hand, scanning the little girl's body with her spiritual sense.
She took out an exquisite porcelain medicine bottle from her spatial jade bracelet and had Si Xin Xin take it. At the same time, she explained, "This medicine can temporarily alleviate the condition, but it's not a permanent cure. It's truly pitiful that she has to endure such pain at such a young age."
The little girl in front of her was as delicate as carved jade, with exceptionally exquisite features upon closer inspection.
Looking at her, Feng Ninghe inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of closeness to the little girl.
Xiao Zhao, with his large,琉璃-like azure eyes, looked at the little girl who had fallen into a brief coma with great curiosity.
Just then, Si Xin Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly. Feeling the pain in her body subside, she opened her eyes.
When she saw Feng Ninghe in front of her, her little face showed a look of astonishment. She rubbed her eyes with her small, fleshy hands, mumbling, "Daddy, I saw a fairy sister..."
Seeing that Si Xin Xin was safe and her condition temporarily stable, Axi breathed a sigh of relief. "Divine Doctor, thank you for saving my young lady."
If anything happened to the young lady, not only would he lose his own life.
The King of Hell's anger could shake half the continent.
Feng Ninghe smiled and didn't deny the title, having heard much of it during her time in the Medicine Valley.
"What reward does the Divine Doctor desire?"
Axi's tone suggested he wasn't just a guard from an ordinary noble family.
However, given Si Xin Xin's noble demeanor, she didn't seem like a child raised by an ordinary family.
Feng Ninghe glanced at Si Xin Xin, who was still staring at her with her small cherry lips slightly parted, and found her incredibly cute.
Feeling a natural affinity for the little girl before her, she said, "No need. Since we met on the street, it must be fate."
At this moment, she had more important matters to attend to and prepared to leave after saying this.
Unexpectedly, Si Xin Xin nimbly jumped down from Axi's arms. Her short legs pattered as she chased after Feng Ninghe, reaching out her small hand to tug at the corner of Feng Ninghe's sleeve.
Feng Ninghe paused and looked down, seeing the little girl raise her adorable face and look at her with eyes as round and beautiful as glass beads.
The next second, Si Xin Xin asked, "Benefactor sister, are you married?"
Her father had been single for millennia. How wonderful it would be if he could marry such a beautiful and kind sister.
Perhaps she could offer her father as a reward!
Feng Ninghe was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Zhao, on her shoulder, let out two soft chirps.
My master has no man.
"That's great! My daddy is also unmarried. If Benefactor sister doesn't mind, for saving my life today, I'll have my daddy marry you."
Axi's mouth twitched. Young lady, is it really okay to sell your own father like this?
This statement was completely unexpected for Feng Ninghe.
Given how exquisite and beautiful his daughter was, her father's appearance couldn't be too bad either.
What surprised Feng Ninghe more was that the little girl in front of her could actually understand Xiao Zhao's beast language.
This was truly unexpected.
Although there were countless spiritual cultivators on the continent, those with the innate talent to understand beast language were rare.
When she was the Empress of the Lin Kingdom, the reason she could tame a divine beast like Xiao Zhao was precisely because she could communicate with beasts, and finally persuaded Xiao Zhao to form a contract with her.
Most spiritual cultivators could only communicate with beasts by becoming their hosts.
While Feng Ninghe was still in surprise, Si Xin Xin enthusiastically hugged Xiao Zhao, who had jumped to the ground, and stroked its white fur. "Benefactor sister, this spirit pet is so cute."
Xiao Zhao shook its fluffy body and rubbed its round, ball-like body against Si Xin Xin.
It also liked the little girl in front of it.
Seeing Xiao Zhao's eager reaction, Feng Ninghe almost couldn't bear to interrupt, but she still spoke, "Xiao Zhao, we should go."
Upon hearing that she was leaving, Si Xin Xin's little face was filled with urgency. "Benefactor sister, if you leave, where can I find you?"
Feng Ninghe unconsciously reached out and ruffled Si Xin Xin's fluffy bangs. "The Feng family, Feng Ninghe."
The onlookers suddenly reacted.
"So it's Feng Ninghe, who has been turning the Feng mansion upside down these past two days!"
"I didn't expect that even though she's considered a cultivation cripple, her medical skills are so good. It seems she's inherited the true teachings of Immortal Xu."
"Feng Ninghe's luck is just too good. Five years ago, she had a father and brother who were the Zhenguo Duke and a young general. Five years later, she gained Immortal Xu, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a third-grade alchemist, as her master."
Feng Ninghe departed amidst the crowd's discussions, while Xiao Zhao on her shoulder reluctantly waved its paws goodbye. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Si Xin Xin watched Feng Ninghe's receding back, silently memorizing the words.
Feng family, Feng Ninghe.

Feng Ninghe stepped into the Willow Face Pavilion.
It was rumored that the Willow Face Pavilion collected countless intelligence from across the land. As long as the money was sufficient, the Willow Face Pavilion could accomplish anything.
The pavilion master was famously elusive, known as 'Sixth Master.'
She needed to strike a deal with the Willow Face Pavilion.
"Miss, are you here to..."
A beautiful woman with a swaying, serpentine waist approached her.
Feng Ninghe's gaze fell upon the woman, and she politely said, "I am here to see Sixth Master."
The woman's smile remained unchanged, her voice clear and pleasant. "My name is Su Xian. May I ask who you are, Miss?"
Without hesitation, she replied, "A member of the Feng family."
Su Xian subtly sized her up and flashed a bright smile. "So you are a junior from the Feng family. Please return, Miss. If you wish to discuss a transaction, it would be best to have the elders of the Feng family come."
The implication was that she was not qualified.
Their interaction successfully attracted the attention of many onlookers.
"Young lady, I managed to get an audience with Sixth Master through a connection, but I still have to wait in line. You should go back and find someone."
"I've waited for days and still haven't seen Sixth Master's face. If I have business, I deal with the servants of the Willow Face Pavilion."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
Feng Ninghe remained unfazed. She raised her beautiful eyes and looked steadily at Su Xian. "How can I see Sixth Master?"
Her gaze was clear and pure, her voice as crisp as silver bells.
She appeared like a junior who had never seen the world, stubborn and headstrong.
This also piqued the curiosity of the cultivators who had come to the Willow Face Pavilion, turning them into spectators.
Su Xian looked at her, her charming eyes filled with amusement. "If you can solve the problem I give you, I will take you to see Sixth Master."
Feng Ninghe nodded without hesitation, her voice crisp. "Alright, then speak."
Su Xian sat on a stool, picked up a cup of tea with her jade hand, and drank. "Many years ago, the Empress of the Lin Kingdom created the Youth-Preserving Pill. Although this pill is not of high grade, its efficacy is equivalent to a third-grade spiritual medicine. After taking it, it makes one radiant, and even mortals can prolong their youth and lifespan.
Besides the Empress of the Lin Kingdom, few have been able to refine it successfully. Even if they do, its efficacy is far inferior to the significant benefits achieved by the Empress of the Lin Kingdom. My request is that you tell me the ingredients and refining method for this Youth-Preserving Pill."
Youth-Preserving Pill?
Coincidentally, this problem was exactly what she was good at.
