"Hmph, back in the great battle, my main body was injured by them, and one of my souls was constantly scattered, leaving me only in the Central City. Although I've fallen to this state, everything in the Central City is under my surveillance! This kid, hmph, is not what you imagined!" The Scorpion said, narrowing its eyes.

Hua Xiaoxiao didn't care much about Gu Liyan's identity. Right now, she was only thinking that the Demon Scorpion could cure Gu Liyan's poison. Without hesitation, she said, "Please, Master, help me!"

The scorpion's lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a confident smile on his terrifying face: "With a flick of the finger, the world will be free of poison and calamity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of emerald light shot out from the Scorpion's hand and directly entered Gu Liyan's body. Gu Liyan immediately convulsed, groaning incessantly, his face contorted in pain. With a "pfft," a mouthful of black, stagnant blood spurted from his mouth.

Hua Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Liyan nervously, "Master! Xiao Li, he..."

"Don't worry, the poison in his body will be completely cleared in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!" Demon Scorpion looked at Hua Xiaoxiao and said, "This kid was shot by the exorcism crossbow and needs specific medicinal herbs to heal him. Go and find some in the surrounding mountains!"

"Yes!" Hua Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation, then turned and left.

Scorpion looked at Gu Liyan, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Kid, you want to kill me? I'll give you a chance, but it all depends on whether your sweetheart will agree! Hahahaha!"

——

Many days after Gu Liyan left, the once towering peach tree had grown into human form. Little Peach absorbed all the life-giving water left behind by Gu Liyan and successfully transformed into human form.

Her captivating pink eyes gazed at her own hands, and a joyful smile blossomed on her face. "Phew, I've finally transformed into human form!"

Looking at his hands, a happy smile spread across his face, but after saying a few words, he paused slightly, "Huh? Why is my voice..."

Xiao Tao suddenly remembered something, leaned over the basin of water beside her and looked at it. She saw a delicate and graceful little girl reflected in the water!

"Ahhhhhh—" Xiaotao exclaimed, pointing at the stunningly beautiful little girl in the water. The stunningly beautiful face in the water was also pointing at her with a look of terror.

"What the hell? How did I turn into a girl?!" Xiao Tao touched her body, feeling like she had been hit with a critical hit.

"I... I've actually turned into a girl!" Xiao Tao looked utterly dejected.

Just as she was about to give up on this beautiful land and take her medicine, a gust of wind suddenly swept in, blowing up dust. Xiao Tao immediately covered her face with her hands and frowned.

The wind stopped, and Xiao Tao withdrew her hand, only to find a handsome man standing in front of her. The man held a peach blossom fan in his hand and looked at her with curiosity.

"Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo Chen!" Xiao Tao blinked her big eyes and said excitedly.

The person who arrived was Mo Chen, who had just completed his mission and been teleported to this world. He located the position of the array left by Gu Liyan and teleported over directly.

But to his surprise, the person in front of him was not Gu Liyan, but a very pretty and cute little girl.

The person in front of me, without a doubt, must be...

"Oh, you must be Hua Baixian from this world? Mo Li is quite fast, finding you so quickly and keeping you by your side. Not bad, not bad, your emotional intelligence has improved." Mo Chen said with a smile, while subconsciously ruffling Xiao Tao's hair.

"No, that's not true!" Xiao Tao pushed Mo Chen's hand away, pouting and saying unhappily, "I'm not my mother!"

Xiao Tao was puzzled by Mo Chen's words. He looked at Xiao Tao in astonishment and said, "Huh? You, you mean, you are—Xiao Tao?!"

Xiao Tao pouted, looking displeased. "Yes, I am Xiao Tao!"

Mo Chen looked Xiao Tao up and down, and then...

"Hahahaha!" Mo Chen, clutching his stomach, laughed so hard he collapsed to the ground, pounding the floor.

"This is hilarious! Xiao Tao, whom I've always raised like a son, has actually decided to become a girl! Hahaha! What about Mo Li? I really want to know what his expression was when he first saw you!" Mo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xiao Tao glared at Mo Chen and said confidently, "Uncle, are you discriminating against women? What's wrong with girls? Looking down on girls means you'll have no descendants! Besides, what's wrong with me being a girl? I'm not only a Peach Blossom Fairy but also a Fox Fairy, with boundless talent and potential! Uncle-Master Mo Han even said that when I come of age, he'll make me a Punisher to help him!"

"Alright, alright, you're the best! Where's your dad? Why didn't he come to greet me when I arrived?" Mo Chen suppressed a laugh and patted Xiao Tao's head as he spoke.

"Daddy has been captured by a monster and isn't here right now!" Little Peach said sweetly.

"Hahaha, alright, if he's not here, he's not here. He's not dead anyway...wait?!" Mo Chen suddenly froze, a sudden tremor running through his heart. "Mo Li, he..."

"What's wrong with Father? Uncle, please say something!" Xiao Tao immediately noticed Mo Chen's change and hurriedly spoke up.

"It's alright, it's alright, he'll definitely get through this."

Mo Chen regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao burst into tears, crying, "I want my daddy!"

"Oh dear, my little aunt, please don't cry. I'll take you to find your father, okay?" Mo Chen had a headache.

Xiao Tao looked at Mo Chen with teary eyes, "Really? Uncle Mo Chen..."

"Okay, come on, I'll take you to find him!" Mo Chen patted Xiao Tao's head and said.

The two descended the mountain and headed towards the central city.
