"Huh? This stuff is ointment? Little girl, you've probably been scammed by a dishonest merchant."
I don't believe in March 7th at all; it's such a stark contrast.
The words had barely left his mouth when Ye Yan, who had rushed over upon hearing them, froze on the spot.
"Oh... you don't understand. As a... cough cough! This is my exclusive skill, big sister, you better open your eyes and watch!"
Bailu squeezed out the ointment and applied it evenly to the unconscious Mara-Struck Soldiers.
After waiting for ten seconds, a golden light enveloped the Mara-Struck Soldiers, and they returned to their previous state before the attack occurred.
"It really is a medicinal ointment... I was blind." Having witnessed Bailu's methods, March 7th retracted his previous words. Even a child should not be underestimated on the Xianzhou.
Age aside, there are even medical tools shaped like milk tea here.
Speaking of milk tea...
On March 7th, Xing and I turned around in unison and began searching for Ye Yan.
"We found Teacher Ye Yan again!" March 7th grabbed Ye Yan and said, "Don't tell us you were hiding in the crowd watching the show!"
Ye Yan nodded honestly.
"Wow... that's just like Teacher Ye Yan's style! You're perfect for that!"
On March 7th, she gave Ye Yan a thumbs up, saying that she could never learn this kind of slacking-off mentality.
"Don't try to stir up trouble for us Milk Tea Aeon!" Star Gods defended. "Tell me honestly, what's your relationship with that milk tea ointment that kid has?"
"My relationship with... milk tea?"
"Ointment."
Xing pointed out, "Ye Yan is already a bubble tea shop owner, how could you not know his connection to bubble tea?"
Just like Himeko's relationship with coffee, they are inseparable, and she takes out a cup to enjoy every now and then.
Bailu noticed Ye Yan at this moment. After finishing her medical work, she walked over to him and asked, "Oh... when did you get back? Is your trip over?"
"Today, unfortunately, things happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to bring the Dragon Girl any local specialties."
"It's alright. The situation in Luofu is tense right now. You can make it up to me after everything settles down." Bailu was still sensible enough to know the situation. Considering that Ye Yan had given her a bunch of candies before he left, it didn't matter whether she received the local specialties or not.
"Oh, by the way! The ointment you gave me is quite effective."
As for the appearance of this milk tea, it can be understood as Ye Yan's unique characteristic, after all, he owns a milk tea shop.
"See?" Xing had already anticipated the outcome. "Just say it was given to you by Ye Yan."
"I feel like this conversation has happened so many times before..." March 7th complained.
Upon seeing March 7th and the other woman, Bailu turned to ask, "Are you two also on a tour? No wonder... your clothes tell you're not from Xianzhou."
"Huh? What the heck is a tour group?!"
March 7th's gaze kept shifting between Bailu and Ye Yan. Had this child misunderstood?
"Huh?" Bailu was also confused by March 7th's condition.
After Ye Yan explained, March 7th finally understood that this was his nickname for the Astral Express.
"So... in Teacher Ye Yan's eyes, our Astral Express Crew is just Interstellar Tour Group?"
Ye Yan nodded honestly as usual, and specifically added, "The most popular batch."
On March 7th, upon further reflection, Ye Yan seemed to be right; they could be considered a tour group with a specific purpose.
"That's strange. This person's medical records show that he just joined the Cloud Knights and is only a little over two hundred years old. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have fallen into demonic possession..." Bailu didn't pay too much attention to it. With this milk tea ointment, the Mara-Struck could be effectively suppressed.
"Do you have any extra ointment?"
"Isn't the Dragon Girl being a bit greedy? Demanding too much [ Eternity ] can backfire."
Ye Yan feigned mystery, looking at the ointment in Bailu's hand.
Although this thing is now just a replica, it was definitely genuine when he first gave it to Bailu. [ Eternity ] wouldn't fake it; there's no doubt about that.
It can permanently eliminate the symptoms of [ Mara-Struck ], and by borrowing the power of [ Eternity ], it can freeze a person's life at a certain moment forever, and the ointment will never run out.
The original ointment was like this, but some scoundrel switched it out and turned it into a weakened version. It can only suppress the [ Mara-Struck ] for a period of time. Once the effect wears off, it will be the same as before. This is the false [ Eternity ].
Xing looked around and saw that March 7th was chatting happily. She decided to go to other places first to see if there were any hidden Lord Ravager.
"Excuse me, young lady, please wait a moment." Just as she reached the edge of the square, a voice called out to Xing. The person who came was none other than Da Dahao, the steward of the Earth-Balance Commission.
"Fortunately, you intervened earlier, rescuing the people of [ Exalting Sanctum ] and that Dragon Girl from their predicament."
"Lady Dragon Girl?"
"It's that dragon maiden from the Alchemy Commission, Lady Bailu."
"That child, judging from the title, seems to have quite a background." Xing glanced at Bai Bailu, who was chatting with Ye Yan.
"I heard from a friend at the Sky-Faring Commission that the General has invited some guests, seemingly to resolve the troubles on Luofu. It seems it's you gentlemen."
"If you don't mind, I hope you can spare some time to come to the Earth-Balance Commission Department for a chat. I'd like to discuss the current troubles facing [ Exalting Sanctum ]..."
Xing was thus summoned by Dahao to the office of the Earth-Balance Commission.
"We are truly grateful that our esteemed guest, General, has taken our plea to heart! On behalf of our comrades from the Earth-Balance Commission, we thank you for rescuing the Dragon Girl at Exalting Sanctum Square."
"You're too kind. Little Dragon Girl is in trouble... how could I stand idly by and not lend a hand?" Compared to Ye Yan, Xing felt that she was much more righteous.
Dahao got down to business. "As you can see, since the Stellaron Cataclysm, the madness of the [ Mara-Struck ] has spread."
"The [ Mara-Struck ] is a destiny that the Xianzhou native have always avoided. Under the watchful eyes of the Ten-Lords Commission, it shouldn't appear so frequently."
"But nowadays, more and more people, especially those in positions like the Cloud Knights who bear pressure and risk, are beginning to fall into the Mara-Struck. Moreover, their appearances are becoming extremely terrifying, resembling monsters, which is different from my previous understanding of the [ Mara-Struck ]..."
"Fortunately, the Dragon Girl has a special medicine, but it's still not the best solution; at best, it can only delay the onset of the demonic energy."
Xing understood Dahao's meaning. "So, you suspect there's a conspiracy behind this?"
"Indeed. As the saying goes, 'A storm begins with a ripple on the water'... Although I am just a minor official, having worked on the front lines for so long, I'm always quick to spot danger."
"Your skills are exceptional. Entrusted by the general to search for the Stellaron, you will surely encounter the Mara-Struck. If you find any clues, we hope you will inform the Earth-Balance Commission."
"Firstly, my colleagues and I can respond promptly; secondly, if there's anything I can do to help, I can offer my assistance as soon as possible."
"Furthermore, I have another request, which I would like to ask if you could..."
"Just ask, I've always enjoyed helping others." Since he was bored, and the interrogation of Kafka wouldn't begin until a day later, he could use this time to build up Galactic Baseballer's reputation in Luofu.
"There was an organization that had disappeared from the Xianzhou for a thousand years... the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
Meanwhile, Welt and Dan Heng were still on their way by Starskiff.
