Xia Xiang felt as if the current scene was just like what happened in the woods six years ago.
"Save your energy, I'll take care of these bastards." Xia Xiang pulled out the small knife she had used to bleed the Hand of Ares earlier from her sleeve.
"What a joke, kid." The demon saw that she looked fearless and thought she was very powerful, but then he pulled out a letter opener.
"Boss, don't fall for it, they're just stalling for time," the demonized man beside him warned.
As a result, he got a big beating from his boss.
The demonized leader: "Do you think I, as the boss, can't see it? Attack me all at once!"
Xia Xiang was speechless, her fingertips tracing the blade. "Its small size is the limit of the material, not my limit."
The silver-white knife was gently tossed into the air, spun a few times, and was caught steadily by Xia Xiang.
This material was taken from Elder Pang's storage room; it is the only one of its kind in the entire universe.
The old man cried so hard that he clung to the craftsman's leg, refusing to let him forge the metal.
There was an even smaller one, locked away at the very back of the storage room…
In an instant, the demons rushed forward. Xia Xiang didn't linger any longer and teleported in front of the demons with her dagger in hand.
Xia Xiang jumped up and kicked the knee of the demon closest to her, causing the demon to kneel down.
He kicked him on the back again, using the momentum to leap into the air, and reached out with the knife in his hand towards the demonized leader.
The knife pierced the neck of the demonized leader, who instantly turned into black ash and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Xia Xiang spun around, gripped the knife upside down, and spun once. The demons who surrounded her instantly felt a chill on their necks, turned into black ash, and disappeared from the spot.
However, the demonic being who had been standing on tiptoe took advantage of Xia Xiang's inattention, crawled forward a few meters, stood up, and started running.
Xia Xiang threw the bamboo flute at the fleeing demon, and the demon and the flute exploded together, leaving only bamboo fragments on the ground...
"Done!" Xia Xiang gave herself a thumbs up and turned to look at her two childhood friends.
Both of them were dumbfounded, and after a long while, Huyan Jing finally spoke.
"I remember you were an archer when you were little, how come you became a warrior?"
Xia Xiang: "They've probably been exhausted by you all, so there's no need to waste any more energy. It's just a coincidence."
"Your skill hasn't diminished at all, Xiangxiang..." Ren Chenfeng said, then collapsed.

Ancient Tomb Hospital
"Auntie, how is my friend?" Hu Yanjing asked as soon as he saw the little deaf girl and Guo'er come out of the consultation room.
“He won’t die,” Guo’er said. “He just overused his powers and suffered some minor injuries. He’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”
Hu Yanjing and Xia Xiang both breathed a sigh of relief.
"This bill..." Guo'er hesitated, looking at the two children in front of him.
Xia Xiang suddenly spoke up, "Put it on my tab."
"Ah—" the little deaf girl suddenly cried out.
"I mean—record it, in my account," Xia Xiang raised her voice.
"I can hear you!" the little deaf girl raised her voice, "Little Xiangxiang, it's been so long! When did you come back?"
"Just got back," Xia Xiang couldn't help but rub her forehead, somewhat helplessly ╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Put it on your tab, 20% off!" Guo'er took out a small abacus and quickly fiddled with it a few times.
Hu Yanjing exclaimed in shock, "Why!? Does the hospital still offer discounts?"
“Xiangxiang is a VIP customer of our Ancient Tomb Hospital, so of course she gets a discount,” Guo’er said with a smile, putting away his abacus.
Hu Yanjing was speechless. "Is my Hu Yan Jue Luo family not big enough? How come I didn't know that!"
Xia Xiang: She used to come almost every week. It's normal for her to have a VIP status, since she was in poor health and often had a bad stomach when she was a child.
"Ah—" The little deaf girl began to selectively ignore her hearing again.
"I'm quite busy, I've gone to see patients. Guo'er, let me explain the precautions to you two."
Guo'er: "Okay, Auntie."
——
In the ward, Ren Chenfeng was still unconscious, with Hu Yanjing and Xia Xiang sitting on either side of him.
Hu Yanjing asked in a low voice, "Xiangxiang, where have you been all these years? You've been gone for so long. What happened after we parted ways in the dungeon?"
Xia Xiang: "Didn't the Alliance Leader already say that I was sent to another dimension by a surge of energy?"
"That's true. Then can you tell me how you've been all these years? Why are you only coming back now?" Hu Yanjing pouted, looking extremely resentful.
Xia Xiang: How have you spent these years? Jumping off cliffs, climbing mountains, practicing martial arts, reading books, taking exams... What a boring and miserable childhood!
