Explosively Modified Cheng Xiaoyu

Back in the room, Cheng Xiaoyu saw a woman sitting on a stool with a fruit basket on her lap.

"Xiao Ke-jie?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ke turned her head and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who was stunned at the doorway. She forced a smile and said.

"Xiaoyu, it's really great to see you're alright."

"Xiao Ke-jie, thank you for visiting me."

Cheng Xiaoyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat by the bed facing Xiao Ke, and said with a smile.

Xiao Ke pursed her lips and smiled, then took an envelope from her pocket. Judging by its thickness, there must be quite a bit inside. She handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Here."

"This is..."

Cheng Xiaoyu took the envelope, opened it, and glanced inside. He then looked at Xiao Ke in astonishment and asked doubtfully.

"Xiao Ke-jie, why are you giving me so much?"

Xiao Ke lowered her eyes and explained with a hint of sadness.

"The total commission fee for the bounty was 250,000. Captain and the others all died, and the Hunter Union provided a death benefit. I also gave each of their families 30,000. The remaining commission fee will be split between us."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu fell silent, only feeling that the envelope in his hand had become much heavier.

"Xiaoyu..."

Xiao Ke raised her head, her eyes full of sincere gratitude. She bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't drawn away the demon, I might have..."

Cheng Xiaoyu helped Xiao Ke up and said with a serious expression.

"Xiao Ke-jie, fate is fate. I chose to save you, and it's your destiny to survive. We don't owe each other anything."

He had never regretted any choice he made. There was no such thing as a magic pill for regret in this world, and bringing this up again felt a bit sentimental.

Hearing this, Xiao Ke was deeply moved. After all, they had only known each other for a few months, and this young man was willing to make such a choice, which was truly astonishing.

"In any case, I still have to thank you!"

She hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Xiaoyu, if you want to join the City Demon Hunter Squad, I can help introduce you."

Cheng Xiaoyu neither accepted nor refused. He was not sure of his future plans for now and only wanted to focus on cultivation.

"Hey, did you see that?"

"Saw it, saw it... it's that Young Mage, right?"

Behind the Duty Counter, three nurses were chatting with great interest, and their topic was Cheng Xiaoyu.

"His physique has become really solid, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, and he hasn't fully grown yet, he looks a little cute!"

"Although he hasn't trained to an exaggerated degree, it's very impressive for his age. You'd be surprised when he takes off his clothes."

"When did such a Handsome Guy come to our Hospital? I didn't notice at all!"

"He wasn't that striking at first, but after he started exercising, he became more and more solid."

"Really? How can a person build muscle so quickly..."

Hearing the conversation between the two nurses, Nurse Tian smiled and shook her head. She also didn't expect the child to change so much.

"Sister Tian."

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu, having changed into Casual Clothes, walked over and tapped on the counter.

Seeing the subject of their conversation suddenly appear, the two young nurses blushed instantly and buried their heads, pretending to be busy.

Seeing this, Nurse Tian shook her head helplessly, got up, and smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, you're here to complete the Discharge Procedures, right?"

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me this past week, Sister Tian. After this, my Mom... I'll have to trouble you to look after her more."

Cheng Xiaoyu gave a gentle smile and said to Nurse Tian a little sheepishly.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After completing the Discharge Procedures, Cheng Xiaoyu walked out of the Hospital while talking on the phone with Ye Xinxia.

"Mhm, I'm heading home now. Do you want me to pick you up after school?"

"No need, the school isn't far from home, I can come back by myself."

"It's fine, it's decided then."

After confirming that he would pick up his younger sister from school, Cheng Xiaoyu's mood improved a bit. He had been immersed in exercise and cultivation these past few days, and it was time to reward himself.

He first went to a Barber Shop to trim his hair, then went to a nearby Supermarket to buy some ingredients, and then went home to wait for school to end.

After school, Ye Xinxia, accompanied by two female classmates, walked towards the school gate, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted ahead, and all three looked over in confusion.

"Wow, look quickly, there's a handsome guy at the school gate!"

"Really, he looks so stylish. Judging by his looks, he shouldn't be very old."

"He's exactly my type... Hey, why don't you go get his contact information?"

"No way, there are so many people here. It would be embarrassing if we became a joke."

After Ye Xinxia walked a bit further, she finally got a clear look at the handsome young man standing at the school gate, but... why did he look so much like her older brother?

Cheng Xiaoyu ignored the admiring gazes of the girls around him and kept scanning the crowd. Finally, he spotted Ye Xinxia and waved at her.

Seeing this, Ye Xinxia confirmed her guess. She walked up to Cheng Xiaoyu and looked at her older brother with a strange expression, asking:

"Older Brother, why have you changed so much?"

In just one week, he had not only grown taller but also become much more muscular.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Hey, hey, I'm only 16 years old, you know? Am I not supposed to keep growing?"

Hearing this explanation, Ye Xinxia smiled sheepishly. Her older brother had really changed too much.

"Are you... Xinxia's older brother?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the two girls beside Ye Xinxia and gave a gentle smile, nodding.

"Yes, you must be Xinxia's classmates. Thank you for taking care of my younger sister often."

"N-no problem, we're classmates, so... this is what we should do!"

Under the gaze of many girls, Cheng Xiaoyu pushed Ye Xinxia towards home. The siblings chatted for a long time, which was rare.

Back at the apartment, the two of them entered the elevator with another student. Cheng Xiaoyu noticed a gaze occasionally sizing them up. He turned his head to look at the student beside them. Judging by the school uniform, they should be from Tianlan Magic High School.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu look over, the student was startled and then asked:

"Are you Ye Xinxia's older brother?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly and nodded, sizing up the student. He had a slight impression of them.

"My name is Mo Fan. I'm in the same class as you in high school."

At this moment, Ye Xinxia also tugged on Cheng Xiaoyu's sleeve and explained.

"He's Aunt Mo Qing's nephew."

The siblings' neighbor was Mo Qing's family. Ever since Ye Chang fell into a coma, they had been looking after the two of them from time to time.

Cheng Xiaoyu wasn't very familiar with Mo Fan. They had attended the same school in elementary and middle school but were in different classes. They only became classmates in high school. Before that, he only knew that Mu Bai had a friend named Mo Fan.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, had a deep impression of the siblings. He often heard his aunt mention them. Younger sister Ye Xinxia had been in a wheelchair since she was little. She looked delicate yet cute, and was very likable. Older Brother Cheng Xiaoyu had taken a leave of absence from high school early on. It was said that he had gone to awaken his magic before starting high school, and there had been no news since.

However, this change was too drastic. He didn't seem to look like this at the beginning of the school year. If Ye Xinxia hadn't been by his side, he wouldn't have known...

The elevator door opened. Cheng Xiaoyu nodded at Mo Fan as a greeting and pushed Ye Xinxia inside.

In his eyes, this Mo Fan was like some so-called Blond Hair, harboring ulterior motives towards his younger sister. He had to guard against him at all costs!
