Chapter 164: The Healing Master, Mr. Mu (3K)_1

Translator: 549690339

“This Sacrificial Black Coffin does have some side effects, huh!”

Mu Yuan pondered.

He also, like Duo Lai, gave the black coffin a kick to see if it would spit out anything else.

But the Sacrificial Black Coffin remained motionless.

“Perhaps it’s impurities of some sort.

“Regardless, the benefits of the Sacrificial Black Coffin far outweigh the drawbacks for me.”

Mu Yuan got a few tool war generals to move the black coffin to the Skeletal Cemetery.

At this time, ‘Lainey1, Tianyuan’s First Doctor, approached him and said that the symptoms of the witches were very tricky.

“I can heal wounds, cleanse negative infestations, but…

“Their witch disease is rooted in their bloodline and has become one with them.

Cleansing such a disease is akin to ‘cleansing’ their entire being, which is not possible.”

Not only that,

According to Lainey, the witch disease in Black Crow and others has the potential to worsen, making the situation quite difficult.

Wait, bloodline?

Mr. Mu stroked his chin.

In a high-end shelter, witches such as Black Crow Sofia and White Wolf Sickle Moon had already regained a lot of color in their faces. However, they still retained the forms of a black crow and a white wolf.

Not that they didn’t want to return to their human forms; they just couldn’t.

After being cursed in Trick City, their witch disease became more severe, and they had the faint feeling of being monsters themselves.

Let alone others’ opinions, looking at their own appearance, they felt somewhat inferior.

No matter how much Sofia groomed her black crow feathers, they wouldn’t soften. What’s worse, they were fragmented, like those of a mangy crow, which made the beauty-loving Sofia feel uneasy.

The others were in similar states.

Although their spirits and condition were better than before, they were limited in strength.

They felt rather despondent.

After all, Lainey, the Holy Light Master Sacrifice, had handed down a ‘death sentence’ to them, meaning there was no hope.

“Don’t despair, there is always hope in survival.”

Isloa tried to comfort them.

She naturally had the witch disease too, but when she returned as a heroic spirit and rebuilt her body, she chose the best version of herself.

Even so,

Looking down, she could see through the gaps in her clothes that her fair skin was covered in strange deep blue patterns.

She didn’t know what her bloodline was, just that it contained considerable power. Back then, to become stronger, she changed her body to further tap into her bloodline potential, and indeed took a big step forward.

The consequence of this was that her magic blood became even more unstable.

Nevertheless, her lineage and potential were still far from General Duo Lai and even more distant from General Dead Bone.

She had accepted her fate and decided to devote all her efforts to handling various tasks in the future.

This was one way of assisting.

She had also heard,

That a hero and a lord are tied to a territory. As long as the territory can be continually upgraded to a very high level, they can receive gifts from heaven and earth.

As the right-hand men of the lord, the potential of the heroes also has the possibility to further advance.

Regardless of how much progress they make, in Tianyuan… it’s better to just be an honest civil servant.

Sofia and the others weren’t too disheartened either.

After all, they had left the Eagle Kingdom, and even escaped from Trick City. Having obtained a stable living environment, what more could they ask for?

Besides their painful bloodline disease and a little ugliness that might make them unsuitable for public appearances in the future, everything else wasn’t too bad.

“Great Lord!”

“Good day, Great Lord-”

A particular black crow bowed elegantly but after catching a glimpse of her reflection in a nearby mirror, she swiftly hid behind a shelf, peeping out cautiously.

The Lord is handsome.

But me, the ugly crow.

Mu Yuan and Lainey came to visit and comfort the witch group yet again.

“Great Lord, don’t worry. Everyone has stabilized emotionally and will officially start work tomorrow.”

Isloa said. She was aware of how large the shortage of staff was in the territory and how eager the Great Lord was.

They couldn’t just give the Great Lord a bad impression right after they arrived, right?

Mu Yuan: “….”

This made him seem like a heartless boss, although he did…hope just a tiny bit that Sofia and the others would get to work soon.

“I came to tell you not to worry. Witch disease may be tricky in the Eagle Kingdom and Lainey may not be able to cure it, but…”

In this era, within the Tai Xuan Alliance, finding a cure may not be impossible.

While the Tai Xuan may not be as advanced as the ancient Bright Empire, and may lack the profound foundation of Yongxing, the flow of information is smooth, the resources are shared, and there are fewer barriers. As long as village-level territories have money and Contribution Points, they can also enjoy top-level potions.

Worst case scenario, they could buy potions that could suppress the progression and prevent it from worsening.

And so on.

Would Lainey, a greenhand unit that has awakened its self-awareness less than a month ago, have the ability to prescribe the suitable medicine like the master lord?

“Really?”

“Absolutely.”

Mu Yuan paused for a moment, “Also, I have a method here that may cure your bloodline disease.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes were on him.

Isloa was taken aback.

The bloodline disease was deeply rooted in her body and soul, becoming inseparable. She had researched it for a long time in the past, but the more she researched, the more hopeless it seemed. In the end, changing her body and awakening her potential was in fact nothing more than a byproduct of her research experiments.

But,

Could the Lord really just be shooting in the dark?

“It’s just a possibility. But whether it can heal or not, this method has no side effects. Who wants to give it a try?”

Mu Yuan said, looking at Isloa, “Your situation isn’t suitable.”

After about two seconds of silence, Miss Elk started to step forward. Black Crow Sofia spoke, “I’ll do it, crow-!”

She fluttered over, unabashedly hovering in front of Mu Yuan, at a spot one head shorter than him. “What do you want me to do, crow?”

“You don’t need to do anything, just feel with your heart.”

The truth will show everyone that he, Lord Shepherd, is the true healing master.

Evo-power, light it up for me!

He stretched out his hand, gently touching Sofia’s forehead with his fingertip. An invisible yet profound strength erupted from this point.

Mu Yuan stepped back two steps.

The next moment, a dazzling and heartwarming white light bloomed from Sofia, encompassing her entire crow body.

In the white light, her body’s outline remained unchanged, still small.

But after about ten seconds, the brilliant white light gradually faded, revealing to everyone…still a crow.

But at this moment, her crow eyes are deep like gems, feathers full of vitality, and a faint dark power lingering and guarding around her.

If Sofia’s previous appearance was like a ragged crow, now she was a king among the crows.

It’s the difference between heaven and earth!

“Did… did it work?”

White Wolf Lian Yue crawled forward, sniffing vigorously.

Isloa’s eyes were wide open, this transformation seemed to be more than just…

The surrounding area was filled with pairs of expectant and somewhat anxious eyes.

“I succeeded! Crow!”

Sofia spoke, her voice more clear and pleasant than ever before.

“But you still look like a crow…”

“Who said that, crow!”

Black feathers flew all over the sky, like petals, circling and wrapping around the gradually elongating figure in the middle.

Black waist-long hair, gem-like eyes, white neck, delicate collarbones, milk­like smooth skin, and…

The fluttering black feathers formed a simple corset and miniskirt.

Just a little bit short.

Sofia’s eyes widened, she looked down at herself, curled her toes inwards, feeling the long-lost human body.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds, she suddenly realized something, a blush spread across her cheeks.

“Bang” Suddenly, she turned back into a black crow amidst the fluttering feathers.

“IIII…”

She stuttered, looking at her sisters, then at the Lord.

But it seemed, it could be, perhaps, everyone’s focus wasn’t on her.

Could it be that she was really too flat?

The echo in the ear indicated that Black Crow Sofia had evolved to the ‘Excellence 1 Star’ grade.

Not only has she awakened advanced skills, but she has also understood the venue skill ‘Black Crow Forest’ on her own, showing that Sofia’s talent is also very high.

Of course, Mu Yuan’s focus was on another aspect.

‘145 units of evolution points were consumed, which is a bit more than normal evolution, probably the extra consumption needed for complete recovery.’

He had expected this.

Not only that, it seemed that after he had given Sofia the evolution baptism, he could vaguely feel that the connection between himself and this girl had become much closer.

It’s like the difference between a newly recruited soldier and a veteran who has fought a hundred battles.

Although he felt Sofia was already in a pretty perfect state, he still asked, “Your Dark Crow Bloodline is still there, but the influence of the bloodline disease should be gone, right?”

“Hmm, it’s gone, it’s so miraculous, so comfortable!”

“Lord is amazing!”

She flew around Mu Yuan, cawing, looking like she had become the Lord’s most loyal fan.

But without her telling them, everyone else could see that Sofia was radiant, and in a great state, without the slightest signs of being affected by the bloodline disease.

Mu Yuan stroked her crow head, then glanced at the evolution points.

The human system didn’t have many points accumulated yet, so it was a long way off to use it for Isloa’s evolution. But for the thirteen ‘junior witches’, it was just a sprinkling of water.

It would only consume a few hundred points.

Well, let’s get it done all at once then, so they can get rid of their suffering sooner.

“Everyone line up, one by one.”

“No rush, no rush, be good.”

Lord Shepherd’s healing hands were once again in action

Shortly, White Wolf Lian Yue also emerged renewed from evolution, her fur becoming pure and glossy, so inviting that one would want to hold her and rub her hard.

Next was Fox Lily, then Elk Erin… The evolved fox was very beautiful, with snow-white fur that seemed even better to stroke than the white wolf’s.

White light bloomed time and time again.

So did the girls’ smiles.

Seeing this, Mr. Mu felt very happy. Spending a few hundred evolution points was totally worth it.

Great value.

So, can everyone start their 997 shifts now?
