Chapter 204 I have good news! Nobody will let me down...
Shu Xin didn't delay and immediately headed to the Dragon Bamboo Forest. If Nana Jia wasn't at the potion workshop, she must have gone to visit Qiqi Ke.
The area outside the bamboo forest was quiet, but upon closer inspection, one could see that it was heavily guarded, with several patrol teams lingering nearby. Shu Xin removed her concealment and confusion magic, nodded to the patrol team members on guard, and then entered the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was very quiet, and Shu Xin could hear the gentle voice of the elf affairs officer, Poppy, from afar:
"It's good that you don't feel unwell anywhere. Don't worry, everyone. The Flower Fairy has already made her way there. If you need anything else, please let us know."
Looking at the administrator who was hovering in front of the Bamboo Tube Building and comforting the flower fairy, Shu Xin couldn't help but smile. This feeling that no one would let her down was really reassuring.
When the fairy servants saw the flower fairy, they came over to greet her and then quickly gave a brief report on the situation in the bamboo forest.
After Poppy finished speaking with the flower fairies, she flew over and added some details—
After receiving Shu Xin's order, Pu Puli, carrying the unconscious Qiqi Ke and the elf servants, quickly arrived at the Dragon Bamboo Forest. Time was tight, and there wasn't much time to make arrangements. At first, they only set up miniature garden magic on each floor of the Bamboo Building. Because there were more than 300 flower fairies who had been withdrawn, each floor housed at least three flower fairies.
After the flower fairies entered the bamboo tube building, Pupuli and her elven servants transported a sufficient number of moss leaf woven blankets, moss water cakes, and moss salads into the Dragon Bamboo Forest and distributed them one by one. When Shuxin came over, they had just finished distributing the newly delivered moss cool soup to the flower fairies.
Shu Xin then explained the arrangements and layout outside the white wall to Pu Puli in detail.
Upon learning that the Flower Fairy had come to see the apothecary, Poppy was somewhat surprised: "Didn't Nanaja go back to the Potions Workshop? She already came once."
Protected by the defensive shield, Nanaja checked the physical condition of the flower fairies on several floors, and then went to the top floor to visit the unconscious Qiqi Ke through the doors and windows before leaving.
Nanaja is neither in the potion workshop nor in the Dragon Bamboo Forest. Where did she go?
Upon Shu Xin's inquiry, the Tree of Life provided the answer—Nana Jia was currently in the symbiotic dimensional space of the magical cat Hana.
Magical cats can have their own dimensional space? Isn't that just a personal space? Shu Xin was very surprised, but when she thought about her own magical cat, she felt that it made sense. Daisy could swallow phantom monsters whole, so it seemed normal for other magical cats to have a personal space. The first magical cat she saw at the magical cat market could even lead the way with its fur!
Speaking of which, Daisy has become increasingly absent from home, only returning to the Land of Sin once every ten days or so. The last time Shuxin saw Daisy was two weeks ago. Shuxin felt that she had seen Hana far more often than Daisy, and wondered what Daisy was doing all day long—she would have to ask her properly once the drought was over.
After saying goodbye to Pupli, Shu Xin decided to go to the potion workshop to wait for Nana Jia to return. She needed to explain the connection between the rune chains and the fever to Nana Jia. No matter what Nana Jia did in the dimensional space, she would eventually have to return to the workshop to brew potions.
This fever is very different from the ones Nana Jia has encountered before, and Shu Xin is worried that Nana Jia will not be able to find the right research approach.
Within the unique dimensional space of the magical cat, Nanaja, aided by the faint light emanating from her body, flew around searching through various magical materials.
"Flying Grass, Flying Grass, ah, found it," Nana said with a troubled expression, looking at the sparse Flying Grass floating in front of her. "There really aren't many left..."
After the drought struck, she concocted many magical potions to treat the civilians in the city, which naturally consumed a lot of magical materials. Flying Grass was the one that was used the most, since this magical plant was not picky about its growing environment and was easy to harvest. Whether it was harvesting or processing, it was very simple. It was also quite effective in treating fever, and before she knew it, it was almost used up.
"Meow." The voice of the magical cat came from behind.
Nanaja asked thoughtfully, "You mean the moonflower?"
She quickly found the Moonflower, its beautiful, snow-white, and perfectly round blossoms reflecting the faint light emitted by the flower fairy, appearing like round moons quietly emerging in the deep dimensional space.
“Hmm, there are quite a few moonflowers, but the petals haven’t been dried properly yet. Even if it’s sunny day and night now, it’s too late. It takes too long to dry them until they turn blue.” Nana shook her head.
The magical cat spoke again: "Meow?"
Nanaja found the flat, disc-shaped golden flower. She frowned. "Golden Disc Flower... Although the toxin content in its sap is very low and won't affect the flower fairies of the Sinful Land—they're all very strong—it would be too risky for the flower fairies outside the White Wall. Their bodies are already quite weak. I need to think of a way to deal with these toxins that suppress magical fluctuations..."
"Meow?" The magical cat was a little confused.
"Because the most important thing about a fever is to bring it down first. Once the body temperature is down, then—wait, magic? Yes, magic! Hannah, I understand what you mean! The most obvious difference between this fever and previous ones is that the magic is severely disrupted! The toxins from the golden disc flower are perfect for this! First, calm the magic fluctuations, then control the body temperature. I have an idea. I need honey!"
Nana excitedly left the dimensional space and headed straight for the Flower Castle, only to find it empty.
The Flower Fairy wasn't in the Flower Castle, but when the elf servants who stayed behind heard that Nanaja needed to use honey to make magic potions, they immediately went to the underground warehouse and got her a huge jar.
Nana had seen the Flower Chasers in the underground planting area. Industrious bees were flying around collecting honey in the watercress fields, and exquisite artificial beehives were located on the shore of the underground lake. She had also drunk the sweet and delicious honey watercress soup several times. However, when the elven servant appeared in front of her carrying a huge honey jar, Nana was still shocked and stared wide-eyed.
So much honey! No wonder this is the territory ruled by the Flower Fairy!
After placing a massive amount of honey—enough to drown her—into Hana's dimensional space, Nanaja quickly returned to the potion workshop.
As soon as she flew out of the teleportation array, Nanaja saw the flower fairy guarding the workshop entrance from afar.
Both of their eyes lit up at the same time:
"Nanaja! I have something important to tell you!"
"Your Highness! I have good news!"

Author's Note: The "Flying Grass" is actually a dandelion, the "Moonlight Flower" is based on the real-life Moonflower, and the "Golden Plate Flower" is based on the Fatsia japonica; all of these have medicinal uses, but the versions in the story are heavily modified.
