Chapter 33: Speed-Learning Sisters!
Xiao Ze waded back to the shore, leaving the Little Doctor Fairy in a daze.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Ze touched his cheek, finding it as clean as ever.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect your true appearance beneath the disguise to be so handsome!" the Little Doctor Fairy sincerely exclaimed.
"Haha, flattery will get you everywhere!" Xiao Ze laughed heartily, changing into fresh clothes.
Rolling her eyes, the Little Doctor Fairy suddenly became curious.
"With your appearance, you must have many admirers, right?"
"Unfortunately, no. I usually keep a low profile, and there's only one childhood sweetheart in my family."
Hearing that Xiao Ze only had one childhood sweetheart, the Little Doctor Fairy felt a slight joy in her heart.
She understood what it meant to keep a low profile, especially considering Xiao Ze's situation.
Xiao Ze was more than just low-key!
Throughout their journey back to Utan City, whenever they encountered towns and cities, Xiao Ze always wore a cloak!
According to Xiao Ze, he didn't even enter any towns on the way to Qing Shan Town; he always stayed on the outskirts!
That was beyond low-key!
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Xiao Family!"
Xiao Ze adjusted his clothes and dried his hair with Dou Qi before leading the Little Doctor Fairy to the Xiao Family's territory.
The two gatekeepers of the Xiao Family were stunned when they saw Xiao Ze, but they quickly recovered and greeted him respectfully.
"Young Master Xiao Ze!"
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Ze smiled and led the Little Doctor Fairy into the Xiao Family.
Once Xiao Ze left, the two guards began to whisper to each other.
"Has Young Master Xiao Ze ever gone out before?"
"I don't think so, I have no impression of it!"
"Who is that girl? Young Master Xiao Ze went out for a while and brought a girl back?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? It's not something we guards should be concerned about!"
After gossiping for a while, the two guards returned to their bored state.
Xiao Ze held the Little Doctor Fairy's hand and planned to first greet Xiao Zhan.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the backyard, Xiao Xuner slowly calmed her breathing and looked at Ling Ying standing in front of her.
"So much has happened to Xiao Ze during this time? And it seems he's awakened the physique of the Calamity Poison Body?!"
Xiao Xuner frowned slightly, especially feeling a bit uneasy about another person with the Calamity Poison Body.
Although Ling Ying's report mentioned the reason Xiao Ze brought the Little Doctor Fairy back was to utilize the highly toxic nature of her Calamity Poison Body for his cultivation.
However, Xiao Xuner felt a bit uneasy about it!
Both Xiao Ze and the Little Doctor Fairy possessed the Calamity Poison Body, as if they were destined to be together!
Originally, she was in a good mood due to Xiao Xuner's continuous breakthroughs, but now it vanished without a trace.
"By the way, what's Xiao Ze's current strength?"
"Uh..." Ling Ying coughed, knowing a bit about his young lady's competitive nature.
Seeing Ling Ying hesitate, Xiao Xuner suddenly felt something was wrong.
"He couldn't have reached the Grand Fighter stage already, could he?"
"Not yet!"
Ling Ying quickly replied, not giving Xiao Xuner a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before Xiao Xuner could relax, Ling Ying's next words widened her eyes.
"Young Master Xiao Ze is already at the Nine Stars Fighter stage, and it seems he's been deliberately suppressing his breakthrough."
"Ling Lao... You might as well not explain."
"How could Young Master Xiao Ze possibly be unable to break through to the Grand Fighter stage? He must be waiting to return to the Xiao Family before breaking through!"
Xiao Xuner recalled the scene where Xiao Ze broke through to the Fighter stage before her.
"Hehe, I'm just telling the truth."
"But, the speed of advancement in the early stages of the Calamity Poison Body is indeed extraordinary. After awakening his physique, Young Master Xiao Ze broke through to the Six Stars consecutively!"
"However, in the later stages, he might not be able to keep up with you, Miss!"
Xiao Xuner fell silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.
"Is it possible that in the later stages of the Calamity Poison Body, the toxic power becomes uncontrollable, leading to the suffering of a thousand poisons?"
"Miss, rest assured, the Calamity Poison Body, although rare, has a solution within the Ancient Clan."
Hearing Ling Ying's explanation, Xiao Xuner finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope Young Master Xiao Ze won't let power cloud his judgment and swallow the poison recklessly..."
Xiao Xuner muttered to herself.
Although there was a solution within the Ancient Clan for dealing with the Calamity Poison Body, it wasn't easy to obtain!
At least until she reached adulthood, she wanted to accompany Xiao Ze a bit longer.
"Miss, Young Master Xiao Ze is here! And he's brought that girl!"
After saying the last sentence, Ling Ying's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace.
After reporting to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ze immediately took the Little Doctor Fairy to the backyard.
"Xuner! Long time no see, I've missed you so much!"
Xiao Ze quickly approached Xiao Xuner, who also showed a happy expression.
The Little Doctor Fairy, standing behind Xiao Ze, looked at Xiao Xuner's face and was stunned!
This was the childhood sweetheart Xiao Ze had mentioned?!
Although she hadn't fully matured yet, she already possessed the beauty of a peerless beauty!
Moreover, she exuded a mysterious and noble aura.
For any man, she was an irresistible temptation.
With just this one childhood sweetheart, she could surpass a dozen admirers.
Originally, the Little Doctor Fairy was happy to hear that Xiao Ze only had one childhood sweetheart, thinking that it would reduce the competition a bit.
But now she felt a bit inadequate!
After chatting with Xiao Xuner for a while, Xiao Ze pulled Xiao Xuner over to the Little Doctor Fairy and introduced them to each other.
"This is my friend I met during my adventures, the Little Doctor Fairy. She's beautiful and kind-hearted, a healer who saves lives."
"And this is my childhood sweetheart, Xiao Xuner. Naturally beautiful and talented in cultivation!"
After Xiao Ze's brief introduction, the relationship between the two women improved somewhat, at least on the surface.
Xiao Xuner knew a lot about the Little Doctor Fairy's situation, thanks to the information provided by Ling Ying, an advanced-level Fighter.
Although she felt a bit suspicious of Xiao Ze's actions, Xiao Xuner also understood that Xiao Ze's actions were reasonable.
This was an excellent opportunity to improve his strength!
Anyone with ambition wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
Since she couldn't change it, she could only try to accept it.
The first impression the Little Doctor Fairy had of Xiao Xuner was her slender waist!
That slender waist, barely a handful, combined with her delicate face, gave her the appearance of a delicate beauty.
However, this delicate beauty in front of her possessed the Calamity Poison Body, feared by everyone on the continent!
The Little Doctor Fairy didn't know much about Xiao Xuner.
Apart from her unparalleled beauty, the noble and mysterious aura she exuded even attracted her!
Although both women had many thoughts, they still showed a "nice to meet you" expression in front of Xiao Ze.
"Seeing you two get along so harmoniously, I feel relieved."
Xiao Ze said with a smile. Since he couldn't read minds, appearances of harmony were enough for him.
"Sister Little Doctor Fairy, why do you look so disheveled? Let me help you freshen up a bit?"
"Sure, it's no trouble, Sister Xiao Xuner."
As they spoke, they both ignored Xiao Ze and walked towards the hot spring pool.
Xiao Ze stood in place, shrugged, and silently followed them.
Their relationship suddenly improved so much that they could call each other sisters.
Xiao Ze could only sigh at the mysterious relationship between women.
