Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

Xiao needs to clear out these blood clots mixed with a large number of crystal fragments first.

As for what happens next, just leave it to convenient magic.

"call!"

After several hours of hard work, Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Skills are really just cheats. Should I apologize to all the hardworking people in the world?"

Just by learning the skills through the system interface, without any professional knowledge, Xiaoguang mastered the ability to perform surgery on people based on his intuition.

This made him feel a little complicated.

"Okay, now we just have to wait for this silly girl to wake up."

*

When Crystal woke up again, she found herself in the lounge of a clothing store.

"Wake up."

"Eh? Akatsuki, um..."

Crystal suddenly realized that she was holding Xiao's hand tightly.

"Do you feel any discomfort?"

"without…"

"Well, I have something I must tell you. If you want to refuse our previous agreement after knowing this..."

"Fool."

Crystal complained dissatisfiedly.

"I'm really an idiot. Actually, I have vampire-like powers."

Looking at Xiao's red eyes and sharp teeth, Crystal was slightly surprised.

"And they're Heroic Spirit Envoys. Lucy and Rose both have Heroic Spirit-like contracts with me."

"You're such a weird guy."

Although she was very surprised by what Xiao said, Crystal couldn't help laughing when she saw his nervous look.

"Xiao, you're not from this world, are you? Are you a hero?"

Crystal asked Xiao curiously.

There are no people in this world who use naming methods similar to Chinese or Japanese ones, and there are many such countries to the east of the continent.

But Xiao always likes to say some strange words and has some habits that Crystal doesn't quite understand.

It reminded her of the brave men she met in the academy.

"I'm definitely not from this world. I'm not a hero, right?"

"Is that so? Xiao, I, I like you."

"I've known about this for a long time."

"Hey! I mustered up the courage to confess, and this is how you react!"

"So how do you want me to react?"

Xiao poked Crystal's puffy cheek and joked.

"You... can't you just say you like me too..."

"Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of frivolous man who can say such things easily."

"You? How dare you say such a thing, you scumbag."

Crystal rolled her eyes at Xiao.

"And it's really hard to like me, after all, people like me are so popular."

"Wow, you're capable of such a poor remark."

It was still the Xiao that Crystal was familiar with, which made her very happy and a little sad.

She didn't know if Xiao was deliberately avoiding her confession.

Because Xiao doesn't like herself and is afraid that lies will hurt herself, she deliberately avoids him in this way.

"I like you."

Crystal decided to muster up her courage, knowing that if she hesitated now she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Although you are both lustful and greedy for money. You often have no bottom line when doing things and will resort to any dirty tricks."

"You don't seem to like me at all."

Listening to Crystal's words, Xiao smiled bitterly.

"But, I know you're actually a very gentle person towards your companions, but you're a little awkward."

"Is the evil Yasasi here..."

"Xiao, can you give me your answer? Even if you don't like it..."

Xiao kissed Crystal's lips to stop her from speaking any further.

"If you stay with me, it will be very, very difficult in the future."

"Just by looking at Lucy and Rose, I know."

Crystal gave a wicked smile.

"do not mean that."

"Let me become your dependent too."

"I was going to say that first, now that you've said that."

"It hurts a little."

Crystal hugged Xiao who was biting her neck.

"Hey, don't say such weird things with your face flushed and your breath gasping."

"Hehe, can you keep me company for a while tonight?"

"Well, it's fine if I just watch you sleep."

"Stupid, weakling."

Crystal blushed and closed her eyes.

Seeing the girl holding her hand tightly, Xiao smiled gently.

Chapter 45 The Young Lady's Journey

"Um, is it really okay for Rose to be like this?"

Martha looked at Rose beside her with some uneasiness.

The blonde girl was now exuding an irresistible dominance.

At Rose's feet was her sister Lucy, who was tied up.

"It's okay, sister, just be good today."

"Woo! Woo!"

Lucy's mouth was gagged, so this was the only way she could protest to her sister.

"Today, I will let Brother Xiao and Sister Crystal stay together for one night. Sister, please don't disturb them."

"Woo~!"

"Rose can be scary sometimes."

Watching Rose scolding Lucy, Martha laughed helplessly.

"Sister Martha, I have no choice. If you weren't tied up like this, you would definitely rush into the room."

"Indeed, but is it really okay to do this?"

Rose, understanding Martha's meaning, just smiled.

"It's no problem. I can definitely accept something of this level. Of course, you have to accept it too, sister."

"Woo! Woo!"

"Why are you doing this?"

Martha didn't quite understand why Rose liked Xiao, but she deliberately created an environment for Crystal and Xiao.

"Brother Xiao is a very gentle yet extremely cruel person."

Rose began to explain to Martha and Lucy with mixed feelings.

"He can be as gentle to us as he is cruel to others."

"Akatsuki...that's indeed the case."

"What if something happens to my sister and me one day, what will happen to Brother Xiao?"

"he…"

Martha was a little hesitant to imagine.

Although she also learned a lot from Crystal, she still didn't have a clear idea of ​​the other side of Akatsuki.

But just based on what Martha knew more about, she would also think that Xiao was a scary guy.

"If a situation similar to what happened to Sister Crystal occurs, Brother Xiao might tear this country apart. And the trouble is, he does have the ability to do so."

Rose gave a somewhat sad smile.

Lucy, who was tied to the ground beside her, also fell silent.

"But if Brother Xiao cares about more people, the possibility of this happening will be much smaller. And Brother Xiao just happens to be such a lustful guy."

Rose gave a wicked smile, but Martha thought it looked a little lonely.

"Rose, you..."

"My sister and I don't really care what the people here are like. We actually hate them. But we don't want Brother Xiao to become a monster that scares others."

"Ugh…"

Martha hugged Rose.

"You are such a silly girl."

"If it's for Brother Xiao, being a silly girl wouldn't be bad, haha."

"You are such a fool."

"I actually think I'm quite smart. After all, Brother Xiao definitely knows what I'm thinking."

Rose pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Xiao knows what you're thinking, and even messed with Crystal right in front of you... this guy is really something."

Martha sighed helplessly, thinking that her three lovely sisters would have a hard life in the future.

"Well, Brother Xiao is a despicable person to begin with."

(He's so contemptuous, yet he makes me realize I'm being treated sincerely. Xiao-nii is such a nasty guy that I can't even hate him.)

Thinking of this, Rose smiled bitterly.

*

After three days of rehabilitation training, Crystal was able to stand up again.

Although he is still a little unsteady when walking, he can basically take care of himself in daily life independently.

In the early morning, Martha and the others saw Xiao and his group off near the city gate.

"There's no need to leave so hastily. You've just recovered."

Martha held Crystal's hand, feeling very reluctant to let go.
