In the four-element space, the spirit beasts have awakened, but in places they have not passed through, countless flowers have begun to rotate, as if awakened by an unknown wind.
The flowers were filled with green light, emitting flames, water bubbles, and sharp air, transforming something, like a passage being opened. Xia Xiao inhaled a lot of tiny powders, which were quickly expelled from his nose and scattered throughout the room.
Xia Xiao stood up and reached out to push Fu Yingzi down from the shoulder. The latter had no outer clothes, and when she fell to the ground, her chest was exposed, which was more than what Xia Xiao saw when he stood up before. But he just used his vitality to pick up the clothes on the ground and casually covered her.
"Get dressed."
Xia Xiao didn't give Fu Yingzi time to react, and turned to leave. She didn't know what Xia Xiao was doing. He had clearly shown some interest and desire before, but Xia Xiao didn't seek excitement. He just wanted to try whether his body was immune to all poisons. He had already seen through Fu Yingzi's tricks. When the light from outside the door shone in and hit Fu Yingzi's face, her fantasy finally turned into bubbles and floated everywhere.
Without getting dressed or going out, Fu Yingzi just stared at the ceiling, feeling extremely ashamed and regretful, but unable to do anything. She was just filled with helpless rage and dared not utter a word.
When she was weak, no one spoke up for her. But she still had many roads to go, but the roads she had walked before were too wide and flat. Now there were many roads ahead, but they were a little more rugged. But she just didn't want to take a step, so she could only rot here, with no one to care about her or ask about her.
The only person who came in was Fu Qing. He came to say goodbye. Xia Xiao was leaving immediately. Fu Yingzi put on her clothes and walked out of the room with a depressed look. Fu Qing followed behind her, wanting to say a few more words to her, but she didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to go back to her bed and sleep.
The courtyard was extremely deserted. The elders had all left. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu kept explaining, but the latter was unreasonable and made a scene. The passing of Fu Qing and his daughter did not attract their attention at all. They seemed to become transparent and disappeared from the world. They could not live out their own wonderful life. Compared with their heavy mood, Ah Zhu sat on the steps, acting like a spoiled child, and her mood was as bright as the clear sky.
"No matter what, I want to carry it on my back."
"Don't go too far, or I'll beat you up."
"You dare?"
Xia Xiao raised his fist and then dropped it. He really didn't dare. However, he had confirmed the usefulness of those flowers. He was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't bother with Ah Zhu. Finally, he turned his back and motioned her to come up. Ah Zhu was not polite. She jumped lightly and landed on his back with a smile on her face.
"I've taken care of you for so long, you have to spoil me."
"OK--"
Xia Xiao dragged out his voice, carrying her around the courtyard, and occasionally jogging a few steps, which made Ah Zhu smile even more. She didn't expect Xia Xiao to really carry her on his back, and what was even more surprising was that he didn't let go and drive her off. Ah Zhu went even further and wrapped his delicate arms around Xia Xiao's neck, like a koala hugging a eucalyptus tree, holding on to him tightly and refusing to let go. Xia Xiao finally had no choice but to let her stick to his back and pack up his things.
"We will return to Xiyang City tonight to see how the battle develops."
“Isn’t that too hasty?”
"I stayed in Medicine King Valley only to detoxify. Now the poison has been removed. Although my condition is not good, it won't be too late to adjust after returning."
"I want to spend two days quietly with you, or even one night~"
Ah Zhu's voice was soft and she was a little sleepy. Ever since Xia Xiao's third bone washing, every day he stayed in that state, she would sleep a few minutes less. Because she was waiting for Xia Xiao, every day that passed, she would feel that Xia Xiao was about to wake up. Now that she had waited, she was too sleepy to open her eyes after playing around, but she still held him with both hands and refused to let go.
"Then rest for a night before leaving."
Xia Xiao persuaded himself that no matter how urgent it was, he would not lose one night. Nan Shang would not attack Xiyang City at night, otherwise they would suffer great losses. But Ah Zhu said yes while falling asleep. Xia Xiao wanted to put her on the bed, but she refused to let go. Xia Xiao coaxed her:
"Ah Zhu, how about having a good sleep?"
Ah Zhu hummed a few times, but she refused to let go. She had finally waited until Xia Xiao returned to normal, and she didn't want to separate for a moment. She was not the kind of girl who was absolutely considerate, and she had her own little temper. She refused to let go now, no matter what. Xia Xiao couldn't resist, so she had to let her change direction and hug her from the front, which was more convenient. Let her hold her, Xia Xiao packed up her things, and went to find Howard.
This famous doctor laughed so hard when he saw Ah Zhu coiling around Xia Xiao, but Xia Xiao raised his finger helplessly, and gestured to his senior to keep his voice down, then told him about his plan to go to Xiyang City again tomorrow.
Howard agreed without saying anything. Xia Xiao could complete the bone washing three times by himself, which was enough to prove that he had a long-term vision. So he would just let him do it. Anyway, he would not interfere in the affairs of Daxia and Nanshang, and would just send them over. He spread out his hands, and the talisman array was opened. Howard contacted the college, and Xia Xiao pointed outside the door, indicating that he should go back first.
"This girl is so naughty."
"She's been tired during this period, so she should have a good sleep."
Xia Xiao carried her back to the room. It was still early, but he also wanted to have a good rest. As for the insufficient vitality in his body, it would not be too late to replenish it after waking up.
"Now you can let go. I want to sleep too."
Xia Xiao took off her shoes, and seeing that she refused to let go, he tickled the soles of her feet. However, she squirmed in Xia Xiao's arms, shouting that she would not let go even if he killed her.
"How can I sleep if I don't let go?"
"Hold me and sleep."
"You wish. This is very tiring."
Xia Xiao is not a monk. He has been holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Not only does she hum from time to time, but she also moves around. How can he bear it?
"It's not like you can't hold me, huh."
Ah Zhu started again, her sweet voice was really nice to hear, but Xia Xiao put his mouth close to her ear and threatened:
"If you continue like this, I'll kill you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ah Zhu immediately let go, but she did not give up. Instead, her eyes lit up, as if she would not be sleepy if you said this. She rubbed her eyes with her little hands, and ruffled her hair. Ah Zhu nodded repeatedly and said yes. She looked at Xia Xiao, licked her lips, and raised her eyebrows with the intention of letting the horse come over.
When Xia Xiao saw this, he clearly wanted to do it, but he forced himself to hold it back and slapped Ah Zhu to get out.
"You don't want anything that's delivered to your door?"
Xia Xiao hesitated for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Too young, let's talk about it later."
"You are small, I am big everywhere!"
Ah Zhu secretly pulled open her collar and took a look. It was indeed big, but she snorted and pretended to be angry and covered herself with the quilt to sleep. Xia Xiao blew out the candle and said good night. She also replied in a sweet voice, and then pouted her lips secretly in anger. As long as Xia Xiao returned to normal, the dark room would feel safe.
“I want some water!”
Ah Zhu shouted at the top of his lungs, but within a minute, he could hear lazy footsteps outside the door.
"I'll drink you to death. You'll definitely wet the bed at night."
Seeing Xia Xiao handing over a glass of water, Ah Zhu took a few sips foolishly, then lay down happily.
"Good night."
Xia Xiao had a look of disgust on his face and was too lazy to say good night. He just drank all the water in the cup in one gulp.
Tonight was a peaceful night. Xia Xiao's worries were finally resolved, and he slept sweetly like Ah Zhu. When Ah Zhu woke up and saw Xia Xiao, he smiled from ear to ear. As long as he was with Xia Xiao, Ah Zhu had the energy to do anything. They sat at the table and ate breakfast while disliking each other.
Because of an egg, the two of them laughed for a long time, and Ah Zhu's face turned red with laughter. In the end, she squatted on the ground and acted pitiful. Xia Xiao would not fall for it, but still gave her the boiled egg. He just wanted to tease Ah Zhu. The girl who was protecting her food was very cute, with her cheeks full and dragging like a hamster.
Next to the dining table were two simple black backpacks, containing Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu's things. They were carried by the two from the academy to various places in the wilderness, and now they were going to the battlefield again. But no matter where they were, they had been before, so they were very familiar with it, without any fear or nervousness.
Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu followed Howard and went to the palace of Medicine King Valley under the guidance of the elders. They had only been to this place when they came here, but they looked like they were seeking revenge at that time. Now that their revenge had been taken, they were no longer so fierce, but looked happy instead, just like the broken bricks and stones in front of the palace, which had been repaired.
"Please forgive me for disturbing your peace and quiet during this period of time."
"My Godly Doctor, your words are too harsh. I apologize again. But you can rest assured that the original intention of establishing Medicine King Valley is to provide a place for doctors all over the world. From now on, Medicine King Valley will focus on pharmaceutical research and will not be too involved in worldly affairs, let alone have any conflicts of interest with the college."
"With the elders here, I do feel relieved."
The Great Elder had a friendly expression on his face, but it turned cold when he glanced at Fu Qing.
"Go ahead."
Fu Qing saluted and joined Howard's team, but he looked extremely unhappy, but he couldn't refuse now. Although his strength was the highest in the valley, all the elders combined couldn't defeat him alone? And now Fu Yingzi was still in the valley, so he had no choice but to join the war and work for Xia Xiao.
It was ridiculous that the Valley Master of one of the five major forces ended up like this, but he could not laugh out loud. He could only admit defeat and raise his head to merge into the talisman formation.
"Farewell to the miracle doctor——"
The elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the golden talisman array disappear. They finally left. This was the beginning of a new life for Medicine King Valley. The elders had already discussed that they would not let Fu Yingzi die, but what they did had nothing to do with Xia Xiao.
In the morning sun, Howard, Xia Xiao and the other two left the Medicine King Valley surrounded by poisonous fog and headed for the distance. Speaking of Xiyang City, Xia Xiao had never been there. He only saw it from afar when he went to Wanling City, but he had no impression of it.
When it was almost time, Howard said:
"I've put the jade pendant in your backpack. Xia Xiao, take some time to learn the communication array. It will be more convenient that way."
"Okay, senior. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"You're welcome. I'm leaving now!"
