Chapter 197: Little Medicine Fairy Emerges from Seclusion (Subscribe and Support)

Xiao Xie watched as his subordinates rushed out one after another, feeling both amused and exasperated. Because Xiao Xie was strict about rewards and punishments, everyone in Dragon Gate competed eagerly to show their loyalty, vying for every task in hopes of earning Xiao Xie’s favor. As a seventh-grade alchemist, even the simplest pills he crafted were treasures beyond compare to them.

Yet sometimes, when his subordinates scrambled to prove themselves, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing!

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Xie turned to Qing Lin and said, “It looks like the Little Medical Fairy has finished her seclusion. We should go greet her! Otherwise, I fear my subordinates will end up all dead.”

“Alright!” Qing Lin nodded vigorously, taking Xiao Xie’s hand as they walked toward the room where the Little Medical Fairy had been secluded.

By now, outside the Medical Fairy’s door, people lay scattered everywhere. Fan Lao and the other Dou Emperor-level experts were sprawled haphazardly, while only Mo Tianxing and the few Dou Saint-level masters could barely manage to kneel, unable even to stand.

The door creaked open softly. Seeing the bodies scattered outside, the Little Medical Fairy frowned slightly. She hadn’t attacked Mo Tianxing and his group; it was merely a trace of poisonous gas released during her breakthrough to Dou Saint that affected them. Otherwise, kneeling would have been the least of their worries.

“Welcome back!” Xiao Xie embraced the Medical Fairy, then let go, glancing at Fan Lao and the others on the ground. Smiling at the somewhat confused Medical Fairy, he said, “I’ll explain everything in detail later. For now, please detoxify them! If you wait any longer, they’ll all die, and that would be a problem.”

The Medical Fairy nodded, her jade hand waving as a cloud of white mist enveloped Mo Tianxing and his group. This mist was the antidote, and soon after absorbing it, Fan Lao and the others began to regain consciousness.

Awake, Fan Lao and the others looked awkward. In truth, when they rushed to the Medical Fairy’s door following the noise, they realized their mistake—it was someone breaking through. As Mo Tianxing and his companions exchanged bewildered glances, a pink haze swept over them at terrifying speed, and they all collapsed. Fortunately, the Medical Fairy, mindful of being in Xiao Mansion, quickly restrained the spread of her poisonous mist during her breakthrough. Otherwise, passing out would have been the least of their worries.

Su Mei also recognized the Medical Fairy; she had personally received her at the auction in Sky Shade City. At that time, the Medical Fairy was only a one-star Dou Emperor, but in just over a month, she had broken through to Dou Saint. Su Mei felt her worldview shatter once again—was everyone around Xiao Xie a monster?

“All right, you’re fine now. Go back and rest!” Xiao Xie turned to Mo Tianxing and the others.

“Yes, Gate Master!” Mo Tianxing and his companions replied respectfully, then quickly departed, fearing that lingering any longer would leave them with psychological scars courtesy of the Medical Fairy.

Once Mo Tianxing and his group had left, Qing Lin was already holding the Medical Fairy’s hand, telling her everything that had happened over the past month.

As Qing Lin described Xiao Xie’s battle against the Soul Clan’s Dou Saint, the Medical Fairy’s brows furrowed in astonishment, exclaiming repeatedly. When she heard about Xiao Xie unifying the Black Horn Domain, she nodded again and again.

“To think so much happened in just over a month!” The Medical Fairy sighed after Qing Lin finished recounting the events.

“Well then, to celebrate the Medical Fairy’s return, how about we go shopping?” Xiao Xie suggested with a smile.

“Agreed!” Qing Lin chimed in immediately.

Xiao Xie patted Qing Lin’s little head, then inclined his head toward the Medical Fairy, smiling. “Why are you standing there? Let’s go!”

The Medical Fairy smiled sweetly, stepping lightly to follow.

...

When night fell, Xiao Xie returned with Qing Lin and the Medical Fairy, both still reluctant to end their outing. After bidding them goodnight, Xiao Xie went to his own room.

With a thought, Xiao Xie entered the Worship Space. The earth-shattering battle between Xiao Xie and the Soul Clan’s Dou Saint had, over the course of a month, brought his worship points to over seven million.

He summoned the lottery wheel, spent seven million points, and made seven seventh-level draws. Three items were useless and recycled for over ten million credits.

The remaining four useful items were: Icarus, a two-year Challenge Card for the world of “The Moon in Qin Times,” a Deceit Magic Skill Card, and Pine Winds Resting Clouds.

Of these, the two-year Challenge Card for “The Moon in Qin Times” needed no special explanation. Xiao Xie knew its effects and set it aside, turning his attention to Icarus.

Icarus: Originating from the world of “Heaven’s Lost Property,” a strategic, all-purpose angelic robot known as the “Queen of the Sky.” Icarus has pink hair, turquoise eyes, and pale pink wings that turn sky blue and morph considerably in battle mode.

Naturally kind, innocently naive, and emotionally slow, she often displays a blank expression, slow to react whether happy or sad. She loves spherical objects (especially watermelons), round chicks, and playing with puppets. Friendly with people, she becomes furious and attacks anyone who harms watermelons or chicks.

Icarus can withstand pressures at depths of 3000 meters, operate underwater without oxygen for 720 hours, and fly at speeds up to Mach 24.

Combat abilities: Permanent homing air-to-air missiles—similar to guided missiles but with indefinite tracking time.

Absolute Defense Sphere: Capable of withstanding attacks on par with nuclear explosions.

Variable Wing System: The key to deploying missiles, the defense sphere, the Uranos System, and other devices.

Ultimate Weapon Apollo: Devastating power, enormous explosion radius, capable of destroying a nation with a single strike.

Uranos System: Icarus’s current ultimate equipment, resembling a multifunctional mobile fortress, controlled by Icarus and serving as her personal arsenal. Its final attack can penetrate the atmosphere and affect outer space.

“Master, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Icarus bowed to Xiao Xie, her face adorably blank.

“So cute!” Xiaoxiao, nearby, couldn’t help but exclaim, then flew to sit on Icarus’s shoulder.

“Xiaoxiao, take Icarus to change clothes. Icarus, for now, play with Xiaoxiao,” Xiao Xie said, reaching out to pat Icarus’s head, who was dressed in a silver-white combat suit.

Icarus let out a soft sound, closing her eyes in contentment at the head pat.

Looking at the adorable, naive Icarus, Xiao Xie thought to himself, “Who designed this combat suit? The chest is just two pieces of cloth, and the skirt is so short you can clearly see Icarus’s….”

“Icarus, come with me!” Xiaoxiao called, leading Icarus away to change her clothes.

“Master, Icarus will take her leave,” Icarus said, bowing to Xiao Xie before following Xiaoxiao to the other side of the Worship Space.

Once Icarus had gone, Xiao Xie picked up the Deceit Magic Skill Card and examined it.

Deceit Magic Skill Card: Originates from the game world of “League of Legends,” the skill of the demon jester Shaco. When used, it grants invisibility for thirty-five seconds and allows for instant movement within a ten-meter radius.

“This is a great skill!” Xiao Xie nodded in satisfaction. It was a powerful assassination tool, extremely useful in combat. By approaching enemies in stealth and then instantly moving behind them, he could execute a fatal strike.

Xiao Xie tore open the skill book, and it transformed into a white light that merged into his body, signifying he had mastered Deceit Magic.

Next, Xiao Xie turned his gaze to Pine Winds Resting Clouds—a black-and-yellow harp.

Pine Winds Resting Clouds originates from the game world “Paladin of Sword and Fairy IV” and is the exclusive weapon of Liu Mengli. It is said that when played, its sound echoes like pines singing in a mountain valley, with a resonance strong enough to shatter massive rocks.

This harp was a rather unconventional weapon, but it might be useful someday. After a glance, Xiao Xie put it away.
