Following the pained scream, a man"s angry shouting could be heard cursing could be barely heard even through the noise of the crowd, as m.u.f.fled groans followed.Fan Zhu Xia who disembarked from the carriage with the a.s.sistance of Min Sheng and Chun Hua drew some attention especially with her fairy like appearance, with a beautiful, alluring figure, jadeite skin and a half-hidden face that hinted at a breathtaking countenance that could ruin cities and make kingdoms fall. Her graceful movements were like flowing water; soft and fluid, while her pale blue robes skimmed the ground lightly with each step as the layers and folds of her gown s.h.i.+fted gently with each movement, like warm, tranquil clouds moving through the bright sky.
When she started making her way to the commotion, Min Sheng immediately took the lead as he ordered several of the elite guards to surround Fan Zhu Xia in a protective circle as they moved through the gathered crowd.
Seeing their intimidating group, they didn"t face much resistance and the crowd parted willingly, as if running water in a river being faced with a solid rock.
As soon as they arrived at the front, Min Sheng stepped aside to let Fan Zhu Xia see what was happening and what she saw made her blood boil as the temperature around her dropped and her already menacing aura grew even more intense.
"Min Sheng, restrain that man." Fan Zhu Xia ordered icily, her pale blue eyes looking extremely cold, as if there was a layer of frost covering them that just by meeting her gaze, one would instinctively shudder.
Upon hearing her order, Min Sheng gave a nod of acknowledgement and said, "Right away, Young Miss." before he shot out from where he was standing and in just merely a couple of seconds had pa.s.sed when he already had disarmed the raging man who was beating the two children with a bamboo stick and had both of the man"s hands restrained behind his back.
Seeing her order carried out quickly and efficiently, satisfaction filled Fan Zhu Xia"s eyes yet the cold fury that was there still had not left as he shot the man who wa shouting indignantly a cold look.
Seeing the icy gaze directed at him, the man couldn"t help the chill that ran down his spine as he shuddered while cold sweat dotted his back.

Who on earth was that blue-robed young lady?!
Ignoring the man"s apprehensive look as he stared at her while quieting down, Fan Zhu Xia made her way to the two children who were lying down in the middle of the encirclement of the crowd, just a few steps away from the entrance of what seemed to be a medicinal store.
As she neared the two kids, she noted how the two wore tattered and ill-fitting clothes with a lot of patches, indicating how it"s been sewed up and repaired countless times. Fan Zhu Xia also noticed how the older child, a young boy of around eight to ten years old had draped his body over the little one to s.h.i.+eld and protect the other from further injuries. His actions, however resulted in him suffering from serious injuries, especially the ones that got inflicted on his back since his already tattered clothes were torn apart and his wounded flesh could be seen as blood poured out from his skin that was split open after being hit so hard.
Seeing it filled Fan Zhu Xia with so much rage that her hands faintly trembled. Her whole person was like an ice fairy emitting cold frost, both enchanting yet untouchable. Her deceptively gentle and alluring voice that spoke softly was dripping with ice as she ordered, "Chun Hua, slap him for this Young Miss."
Before anyone could react, Chun Hua quickly went to the man that Min Sheng held and delivered a strong, vicious slap that made the man"s whole head turn to the side with the force as his lips was split and blood leaked out his mouth while the imprint of a hand was left on his cheek that had immediately started to swell.
This filled the man with righteous fury as he started screaming out abuse once more.
"How dare you slap me?! A mere servant! I"ll have your head!"
"Young lady, you don"t know who you"re messing with! Do you even know who owns this Medicine Hall?!"
"Ha! You"ll f*cking regret your actions, mark my words!"
Annoyed, Fan Zhu Xia waved her hand and said, "Gah! So noisy! Chun Hua, shut him up!"
"Yes miss."
With her simple reply, Chun Hua then clenched her hand to a fist then sent it smas.h.i.+ng to the man"s face, knocking several of the man"s teeth out while leaving the man dazed, effectively quieting him down.
The series of fast and merciless actions stunned the crowd and made them collectively gasp in shock.
Just who was this ruthless young lady?!
Ignoring the people around them, Fan Zhu Xia lowered herself down beside the two kids when she noticed that the older one was barely conscious yet when she reached out, the young boy tightened his hold on the little one protectively.
This made her heart clench, and as if spring had come, all her icy demeanor melted away and nothinh was left except warmth and gentleness in her gaze.
While everyone was focused on Fan Zhu Xia and the two kids, n.o.body realized that one of the attendants of the medicine hall had quietly gone out of the back of the store to go ahead and report the incident and get help and reinforcements.
Even though this happened, even if they knew that someone slipped away, neither Fan Zhu Xia nor her entourage would care, after all, all of them were quite secure with their strength and backing since each one of them knew that in this kingdom, there were only a select few that could trump them.
Meanwhile, Fan Zhu Xia"s attention was wholeheartedly focused on the young boy and speaking softly, Fan Zhu Xia gently crooned and comforted the young lad and with a gracefuly flick of her hand, a medicinal pill with a b.l.o.o.d.y-red color appeared in between her fingers before she swiftly placed it in the boy"s mouth and used her qi to help him swallow it.
Those who saw it felt disbelief while their eyes widened in shock!
That deep red pill fit the description and resemblance of a hard to concoct, Blood Enhancing Pill!
The thing that shocked them more was that the young lady just nonchalantly gave it away to a random person with no qualms whatsoever.
A spectator finally got enough courage and asked, "Young Miss, was that a Blood Enhancing Pill?"
Glancing up, before looking away dismissively and focusing her attention on gently s.h.i.+fting away the young boy to lie down belly-first on the ground, she nonchalantly replied, "What of it?"
What of it?! What of it?!
Does this young lady know how extremely precious that pill was?!
A lot of families will pay no matter what amount of gold just to get their hands on it!
"Young Miss, t-that...that pill, you shouldn"t give it out indiscriminately!"
Without even looking, Fan Zhu Xia just coldly replied, "Whoever this miss gives it to is this miss" and no one can say otherwise!"
"But that"s the Blood Enhancing Pill! It can improve the overall quality of one"s blood and body and even detoxify it from it"s impurities, that pill is too precious and hard to come by!"
"Pah! If this miss runs out then this miss will just make more! Now shut your trap and let me work!" Fan Zhu Xia snapped angrily before decisively ignoring the man not knowing that the words she just spoke, collectively blew the minds of everyone there.
Make more?
This young miss can actually concoct those pills and make more?!
Heavens! Should this be true, then this was great news!
Unaware of the crowd"s thoughts, Fan Zhu Xia also brought out a small jar that once she opened it, a strong smell of herbs permeated the air and brought a feeling of coolness and relaxation, surprising the surrounding people. Peeling off the boy"s torn clothes gently off his back while making soothing noises, Fan Zhu Xia used her qi to slowly clean the wounds while the mere sight of it blew the surrounding spectators mind! The manifested qi the young miss was showing had a pale blue color, indicating one thing! She was at the elementary level of the Early Stage of the Heavenly Sky Realm!
Oblivious to the shock she gave the crowd, Fan Zhu Xia applied the medicated cream to the young boy"s back before bringing out a medicated plaster made out of silk with a interwoven spiritual gra.s.s which had soothing and numbing properties sewed on to it. Placing the plaster, herb first against the wounds, before tying the silk ribbons around the young boy"s torso and chest, Fan Zhu Xia then directed her gaze towards the little one that the boy was protecting.
Bringing the child closer, Fan Zhu Xia was faintly surprised to see a little girl of around six or seven years old with delicate features yet her surprise quickly turned to concern when she noticed how pale the little girl was and how her lips had a tinge of purplish blue.
With eyes flas.h.i.+ng dangerously, she cradled the little girl against her chest and turned to the man that Min Sheng still held and coldly stared at him before asking in a low, furious voice that made everyone who heard, involuntarily shudder.
"What did you do?!"
