Thank Goodness, It's the Hero

"Come on, open your mouth, and eat it in small bites."

Fern peeled open the hard shell of the lychee and fed the soft flesh into Dugu Qing's mouth.

Dugu Qing savored the sweet and refreshing lychee, it felt as if he had returned to summer. His eyes lit up, and the power within his body gradually revived.

After finishing the plate of lychees, Dugu Qing flexed his fingers and regained his energy.

He picked up the Holy Scripture, cast a spell to cure his fever, easily cured his ailment, and a smile crept onto his face.

The elegant and composed Dugu Qing of yesteryear has returned.

"Damn it, it's so dramatic, but why do I feel a little jealous?"

Looking at Dugu Qing, who was being cared for and protected by Frieren and Fern, Stark felt a surge of intense jealousy wash over him.

He stepped out of the room, suddenly struck by a brilliant idea.

Being sick is just being sick! It's not like everyone can't get sick. Dugu Qing can get sick, so can Stark!

Do what you want to do.

Stark returned to his room, immediately lay down on the floor, and frantically did push-ups until he was sweating profusely. Then he took off his shirt.

Standing in the snow and ice, letting the cold air seep into my bones through my pores.

"Archie~"

He sneezed, snot dripping from his nostrils, and in a second, the expression on Stark's face instantly shifted from deep worry to elation, as if he had won the lottery.

"Frieren, Fern, I'm sick, I need to..."

Stark dressed and ran quickly to Frieren's room, beaming with joy and gesturing excitedly.

At this moment, Dugu Qing, dressed in a thin white robe, pushed open the door and saw Stark with a runny nose.

Do you have a cold? Why are you so happy?

Is he mentally ill?

Ignoring Dugu Qing, Stark happily knocked on Frieren's door, bang bang bang.

"Frieren, open the door!"

Dugu Qing turned to look at Stark, and secretly cast a healing spell to cure his illness.

"What is it?" Frieren pushed open the door and gazed at Stark with an elegant air.

"I... wait, my illness is gone?"

Stark slapped his forehead, scratched his nose, and froze.

What's going on? My cold is better, that shouldn't be happening!

"I cured you, no need to thank me. With me around, it's hard for you to get sick."

Dugu Qing leaned against the wall, a calm and serene smile on her face.

There's a volcano erupting inside Stark, but if Dugu Qing knew he was working so hard just to win Frieren Fern's affection, he'd be mortified.

He suppressed his frustration, gave an awkward smile, and trudged heavily back to his bedroom, throwing a punch that cleaved through the air.

"I hate healing magic! I want to be loved too! I want to eat lychees too! Ugh..."

Around noon, the group had a quick meal, said goodbye to their landlady, and headed north.

Weigen Avenue, Flower Village.

A vicious monster attacked the bustling commercial town.

Packs of wolves indiscriminately attacked humans in the streets and alleys, turning the bustling night market into a terrifying hell on earth.

The pitch-black night enveloped the earth.

In despair, humanity scattered and fled.

The wailing was so mournful and poignant that it carried on the wind for miles.

Dugu Qing, Frieren, Stark, Fern continued forward, and in the distance they saw a village engulfed in flames that stretched to the sky.

The elderly, women, and children fell one by one into pools of blood under the sharp teeth of the wolves.

Dugu Qing frowned as he gazed at the tragic scene in the distance, then flew away on his sword.

His tall figure, like a peerless divine weapon, cleaved through the long resistance of the wind, descending like a divine weapon from the sky, charging into the wolf pack and unleashing a single sword strike.

"Boom~"

A strike delivered with all its might, the sword energy traversing a hundred meters before crashing to the ground.

The earth let out a heavy wail, shattering into pieces. Packs of wolves were thrown into the air by the force of gravity, staring fiercely at their prey with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Thank goodness, it's the Hero! We're saved!"

People watched the beautiful, sturdy figure standing before the monster, shouting wildly, venting their despair and exhilaration at being saved.

The pack of wolves flew into the air, higher and higher.

Before Dugu Qing could count the number of demons, his eyes turned cold, and he leaped into the wolf pack.

The white figure moved with lightning speed through the wolf pack, unleashing countless meteor-like sword energies.

The remaining sword energy, scattered like stars, wove a dazzling net that enveloped all the demons.

"Amazing! As expected of the Hero!"

"Come on, you must defeat the monster!"

"Hero, I want to marry you!"

The residents below, hearing the sonic booms and thunder from the sky and watching Dugu Qing's powerful sword immortal figure, felt their fear recede like a tide.

Dugu Qing unleashed her full power, gracefully gliding across the sky, her movements light and swift, like a silver dragon dancing in the air.

Wherever they went, they were devastating and invincible.

Frieren, Fern, Stark then joined the fray, unleashing their full power and blasting the monsters to smithereens.

One by one, the wolf-like monsters were decapitated and fell heavily to the ground, splattering blood.

The residents of Flower Village collected the monster corpses, piled them up into a large mountain, and set it on fire.

"Bang."

Having dealt with the last demon in the sky, Dugu Qing glanced at his blood-stained white robes, sheathed his sword, and landed uncomfortably on the ground.

Do you have a place to shower here?

"Yes, Hero, please follow me."

The elderly village chief, leaning on his cane, led Dugu Qing to the best inn in the village.

The residents of Flower Village formed a search party to hunt down the escaped monsters, repair houses, and clean the streets.

When the next day arrived, the streets and alleys of Flower Village returned to their spotless state, bathed in peace.

Flower Village Hotel.

Dugu Qing, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a briefcase, was about to pay the bill and leave Flower Village with Frieren, Fern, and Stark.

The Flower Village, accompanied by a group of people, walked forward with a broad smile.

"Hero, last night was incredibly dangerous. If it weren't for you, our entire village would probably have been devoured by monsters..."

"Yes! Please stay a few Hero, so we can properly entertain you!"

"Yes! Yes! We happen to have a master sculptor in our village. Why don't we have him make a few statues for the Hero and his party?"

"That's exactly how it should be! Hero, please stay!"

The residents of Flower Village looked at Dugu Qing with eager anticipation and burning eyes.

"You can eat and drink for free! Dugu Qing, just say yes!" Stark urged in a low voice from behind.

Frieren and Fern were also somewhat tempted and wanted to rest for a few days.

Dugu Qing smiled brightly, "Okay, I'd also like to try the food in Flower Village! When do we set off?"

The village chief led Dugu Qing to the village's only square, where he invited the adventure team to enjoy a delicious meal.
