Chapter 209 A large bowl of high-grade magic potions, drink as you please.
When Manmanli woke up, the sweltering heat that had seemed to seep into her bones along the way vanished. A gentle breeze was blowing a refreshing coolness from her hair to her toes, and even her stomach, which had been screaming with hunger as if it were on fire, became incredibly peaceful.
She didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at the white ceiling for a while before being startled back to her senses by the approaching voices.
"Cecilia! My daughter! How is she! Is she alright!"
Manmanli thought she had shouted, but in reality, she only made a faint sound, like the buzzing of a mosquito. However, her urgent and frightened question was immediately answered—
"Mommy! Mommy! I'm here! I'm fine!"
The young flower fairy immediately rushed to her mother's side.
Manmanli felt herself being gently lifted up. With this help, she managed to prop herself up, and her back and waist found soft yet stable support. She didn't care about that and just stared wide-eyed, and she finally saw what her daughter looked like.
Her once dry, withered hair, resembling withered autumn grass, has regained its bright shine. The sunlight streaming in from the window has gilded each strand of hair with a warm, light gold, making her already orange-yellow hair look as vibrant as ripe fruit on a branch.
Her eyelids, which were always tightly closed, were now open, and her emerald green eyes, which were somewhat dull in my memory, were now crystal clear, like the finest sparkling magic gems.
Her pale cheeks were rosy, like flower petals blooming brightly in the morning light; it would have been even better if the petals weren't covered with dew-like tears.
"Mom, you're finally awake... You've been asleep for so many days..."
Manmanli never expected that she would be unconscious for so long; she thought she would wake up before her daughter.
In fact, Cecilia, who was less than a year old, initially developed a fever due to severe dehydration. After receiving enough water from the unfamiliar patrolmen, the young but relatively healthy child stopped having a fever.
On the way to the Land of Sin with Manmanli, the young flower fairy was well taken care of by her mother. Even when she fell ill with a fever due to thirst and hunger, she quickly recovered after receiving a sufficient supply of magic power upon arriving in the Land of Sin.
On the contrary, Manmanli used her innate magic far too frequently, almost exhausting her magical power. She was already close to death, and the journey with her child was exhausting. She was extremely frugal with food and water along the way. After her daughter fell ill with a fever, she released her innate magic even more frequently. She was able to make it to the Land of Sin almost entirely because of her strong obsession.
The reason she was able to survive was thanks to Manmanli's talent for healing magic. Her magic recovery speed was far beyond ordinary, and her physical foundation was much stronger than that of ordinary flower fairies. In addition, a new batch of snow dragon fruit was obtained in the Land of Sin, and the medical team generously stewed the snow dragon fruit into medicinal soup to feed her every day. This is how she was able to wake up after being unconscious for six days and seven nights.
After carefully stroking her daughter's entire body with her eyes to make sure that Cecilia was in good health, Manmanli felt relieved and then had the leisure to take a look at the strange house she was in.
There was a faint scent of grass in the air, and both the ceiling and the floor were pure white, with only the straw furniture laid out in the sunlight gleaming.
The white and green color scheme is refreshing and clean, making the flower fairy, who already has bright hair and eye colors, even more eye-catching. The flower fairy, dressed in a snow-white uniform, is looking over with a slight smile.
“It’s good that you’re awake,” she said, turning to the young child and smiling. “Cecilia? Do you remember what you said before? Now that Mommy is awake, will you help Mommy take her medicine?”
“Yes, I want it!” Cecily exclaimed, immediately flying over to take the soup bowl from her hands.
Before leaving, the unfamiliar flower fairy nodded to Manmanli in a friendly manner: "Your innate magic is healing magic, right? Our medical team is really short-staffed right now. You should rest well and get better quickly so you can come and help!"
Watching the other person fly away, Manmanli didn't even have time to be surprised by the sheer number of healers in the Land of Sin, enough to form a squadron, before she was startled by the medicine being offered to her lips—
This is definitely a magic potion! Such abundant magic power and such a gentle and pure aura—it must be a high-grade magic potion! But why would a high-grade magic potion be served in such a large bowl? Is she being told to drink it all?
"Mom! Make sure you take your medicine properly—" Cecily said in a coquettish tone, drawing out her words.
Are high-level potions really just served in a large bowl and given to patients to drink as they please?
With mixed feelings, Manmanli opened her mouth. The soup smelled faintly sweet and tasted very sweet. Almost as soon as it slid down her throat, Manmanli could clearly feel her weak body regain some strength. After drinking the whole bowl of soup, she was able to lift her hand slightly with her own strength!
Wait a minute, there's a drought going on everywhere outside. That big bowl of soup was a magic potion, but it's also a soup. The Land of Sin has no shortage of doctors, magic potions, or water.
...What exactly is this Land of Sin?
...Is she really still alive?
"Your Highness, the lady has awakened," the elven servant reported to the flower fairy.
The flower fairy, who was standing by the corridor window deep in thought, came back to her senses: "I understand. I'll bring her to see me after she gets better—or after the harvest season ends."
Shu Xin didn't recognize Manmanli's identity at first. She was busy communicating with the Tree of Life, since the Tree of Life was responsible for removing the rune chains from the flower fairy's body. The moss products that Xi had sent to the Snow Clan were kept, and Shu Xin couldn't tell whether the Snow Clan genuinely liked them or were simply offering assistance. She could only say that the final result was good; the Land of Sin exchanged the moss products for a considerable amount of Snow Dragon Fruit from the Snow Clan.
With a certain amount of magical support, it was time to get to work. However, the Tree of Life's operation was still somewhat mechanical. If she didn't intervene, the Tree of Life would definitely remove all the rune chains from the bodies of all the flower fairies in the country in no time. As for the individual feelings of the flower fairies, that was not within the Tree of Life's consideration.
Shu Xin wanted to minimize the suffering of the flower fairies, so she needed to be more meticulous in allocating the magic power contained in the snow dragon fruit, more detailed in classifying the flower fairies, and more in planning the use of the gray bird puppet. Shu Xin was thinking about these things in her dreams at night, so she naturally didn't pay attention to the identities of the mother and daughter who were heading to the land of evil.
It was the medical team members who first discovered that the magic cloak Cecily was wearing was produced in the Land of Sin. The last underage flower fairy to wear a high-grade magic cloak, a specialty of the Land of Sin, was the daughter of Kikik, the former Lotte City official and now the Land of Sin official. Considering that the mother and daughter might be of noble birth, the team member reported this to his superiors.
Those who rushed to the scene from the medical team saw more information than the members of the Qiqi Kebi team. This magic cloak was not only of high grade, but it was also a specially customized defensive magic cloak, which meant that it was most likely not sold, but given away as a gift.
Qiqi Ke was certain that he had not dealt with similar matters since he took office as an administrative officer, so he did not do much, only mentioning the matter to the Flower Fairy.
Shu Xin immediately realized the identity of the mother and daughter—she had only ever given the magic cloak with the highest defensive capabilities to the patrol envoy Sissis.
Upon learning that the young flower fairy wearing a magic cloak was named Cecily, with long orange hair and emerald green eyes, and after confirming her identity with the Tree of Life, Shu Xin could only remain silent.
Sissis's magic cloak was draped over his daughter, and his wife, alone with their young daughter, arrived in the Land of Sin in a disheveled state. Sissis was probably no longer with them.
Since arriving in this magical world, Shu Xin has only met two patrol officers.
The first patrol officer, Kakalin, came and went in a hurry. When Shuxin learned of her sacrifice, she was more surprised than anything else. The second patrol officer, Sissis, had actually lived in the Land of Sin for a period of time. He had also participated in the battle during the Harvest Month with great effort. In addition, he was lively, cheerful, and had a likable personality. When Shuxin suddenly learned that such a young life had been lost, she was overcome with sadness.
...What exactly are the patrol officers doing? Why is there such a high mortality rate?
The question that had been lingering in her mind resurfaced. Shu Xin looked into the distance, watching the figures of the Sky Demons soaring and tumbling in the thick fog brought by the Phantom Beasts, and gently exhaled.
Let's talk to Mrs. Sissis after the harvest season is over.
