Chapter 91: Waste God Medicine

Looking at the two pairs of hopeful eyes, Mo Xiaobai felt unsure in his heart but still nodded with a smile: “Everything will get better. Your mother can’t bear to leave you either.”

“Did you hear that? My Big Brother said it’s possible, so it is possible.”

Hearing Mo Xiaobai’s promise, Mo Xiaoyou cheered and pulled Zhang Chunhua down to look at the rabbit: “We saw this rabbit on the mountain. A black wolf chased it everywhere, almost making it fall into the wolf’s mouth. But it was very strong and ran away, so it survived. Now it doesn’t need to be afraid on the mountain anymore.”

Holding a tender vegetable leaf to tease the rabbit, Little Dot paused, then placed the rabbit in front of Zhang Chunhua: “Now I give it to you. Its good luck will also bless your mother to get better.”

“Thank you.”

Zhang Chunhua didn’t know why this girl she had just met treated her so well, but she could feel Little Dot’s kindness. She followed Little Dot’s example and picked up the rabbit.

“Cough, cough, Little Dot, come here for a moment.”

Seeing Zhang Chunhua’s attention was taken by the rabbit, Mo Xiaobai stepped back and waved to his younger sister.

“What’s wrong, Big Brother?”

“Come with me.”

Mo Xiaobai called his sister behind him and frowned, whispering: “Little Dot, why did you lie to her? That rabbit was clearly something we snatched from the wolf’s mouth.”

Hearing her older brother’s question, Mo Xiaoyou was silent for a while before speaking: “But that’s how fairy tales are always written. If I don’t say it like that, she will still be unhappy. I need to give her hope so she can be happy.”

Fairy tales… they are all written like that.

Hearing this answer, Mo Xiaobai felt speechless: “Don’t you say you don’t read fairy tales?”

“Who said I don’t read them? It’s just… it’s just… oh, you annoying Big Brother, you talk so much.”

Mo Xiaoyou stopped her words before she said them and didn’t want to continue with her brother. Just as she turned to go back, Mo Xiaobai grabbed her hand: “There is one more thing. You told her I could cure her mother’s sickness without asking me first. What if I can’t do it? Little Dot, what you are doing is deceiving her.”

Mo Xiaobai’s tone was very serious, and his facial expression was equally stern.

He hoped his younger sister could live a pure and happy life, but he absolutely did not want her to become a naively innocent fool. Well, actually, the most important point was that his sister trusted him so much. If he couldn’t do it, it would seriously affect his tall and mighty image in Little Dot’s eyes.

“Could it be that the treatment fails?”

Mo Xiaoyou hadn’t expected her older brother to say this. She muttered something from the corner of her mouth, then took out a small bottle from her pocket: “Sister Dong Yiyi told me that as long as a person is not dead, this can extend their life. One pill extends life by one month, and a person can eat two pills. Big Brother, if you can’t cure her mother, just give this to her. If the Instance ends within two months, we can take her whole family back to Daming Village. Sister Zhen is a very powerful doctor, so she will find a way.”

What?

Little Dot actually has such a powerful pill in her hand?

Mo Xiaobai took the bottle from Little Dot, and an item description quickly appeared in front of him:

“Item: Nine-Fragrance Pill!”

“Level: S”

“Description: Mainly made from Nine-Fragrance Rice, aided by precious herbs like mountain ginseng, Ganoderma, and deer antler. It was cultivated with special immortal souls for three days and crafted by someone with an immortal soul.”

“Effect: Anyone suffering from injuries of any degree can extend their life by 30 days after taking this.”

“Restriction: A person can only take it twice.”

An S-rank life-extending pill!

No need to think about it; it must be made by Dong Zhen.

“Such a precious pill? Did that girl Dong Yiyi give it to you?” Mo Xiaobai looked at the pill in his hand with admiration. As a Lord, he didn’t even know that Dong Zhen had crafted such an awesome pill.

“Sister Dong Yiyi said this is nothing. It’s all just defective waste produced when Sister Zhen researched pills. Knowing I was coming to this Instance, she specifically gave me a whole bottle and told me not to save it.”

Waste?

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai’s mind stirred with thoughts.

Did Dong Zhen start researching the Soul Returning Pill already?

If there was already progress now, did that mean in her past life she made the Soul Returning Pill five years later not because her level was low, but because she was delayed by copycats in the early stage, and then delayed again by a lack of herbs in the Ice and Fire Village?

In this life, Dong Zhen was in Daming Village, researching pills with a huge amount of time every day. Furthermore, Daming Village had plenty of herbs, enough for her to test whenever she wanted.

Super talent, plus ample resources.

Would this make the Soul Returning Pill appear earlier?

Mo Xiaobai had been thinking about the five-year timeline and completely ignored this point.

“Why didn’t you say you had this earlier? You made me worry for nothing.”

Mo Xiaobai patted the back of his sister’s head and holding the “Nine-Fragrance Pill,” he suddenly asked: “By the way, why did you give it to me? If I can’t cure her mother, you can just give it to Zhang Chunhua directly. Two months is enough to wait for the Instance to end.”

“Oh, you are just stronger. I won’t talk to you anymore, you fool Mo Xiaobai!”

Mo Xiaoyou didn’t dodge the blow on her brother’s head, but rolled her eyes again. Seeing Zhang Chunhua looking in their direction, she quickly pulled away from her brother’s grasp and ran happily toward her new playmate.

“This girl, small body, big brain.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Mo Xiaobai put the pill away and walked over.

When Mo Xiaobai returned to the kitchen area, Li Ji had already brought out two bowls of Chinese medicine, filled into clay bowls. He let Zhang Chunhua lead the way to help send the medicine to the inner room.

Following everyone at the back, Mother Mo suspiciously looked at her son: “What were you and your sister whispering about just now?”

“Nothing. Little Dot is very clever.” Mo Xiaobai shook his head with a smile. Since his sister was confident, his worry was unnecessary.

“Don’t you know your sister? When has she ever done something foolish?”

Mother Mo agreed with a comment, then added: “We have arrived here now. Xiaobai, you should go do your actual task. I will take care of your sister.”

“It’s not urgent. I can wait a bit longer!”

Mo Xiaobai hadn’t finished speaking when a notification suddenly rang in his ear, the first announcement from the Intellect Brain since the Instance started:

“Battle of Guandu Instance Announcement ~ Yuan Shao Camp player ‘Naturally Born Ace’ intercepted a Cao Army grain cart, burned 50 units of grain, and obtained 5 Merit Values. The Battle of Guandu Merit Value Leaderboard officially opens.”

“Battle of Guandu Instance Announcement ~ Yuan Shao Camp player ‘Naturally Born Ace’ intercepted a Cao Army grain cart, burned 50 units of grain, and obtained 5 Merit Values. The Battle of Guandu Merit Value Leaderboard officially opens.”

“Battle of Guandu Instance…”

The notification cut off whatever Mo Xiaobai was about to say. Mother Mo heard the announcement as well and immediately looked more nervous than Mo Xiaobai: “Look, look! You said it wasn’t urgent. Now others have already earned Merit Values, while you are here messing around with your sister. Hurry up and do your mission. You and Xiaoyou are both depending on me to support us. You can’t get proud just because Daming Village is developing well. Who knows, this Instance might end with other players surpassing you.”
