Chapter 18: Repairing Ba Xia
“Are you all right…?”
Feeling Cui Beiqian trembling in his arms, Chen Fan asked gently.
However, the dusa Empress seed to realize that her aura carried an overly oppressive pressure and quickly withdrew it.
“I… I’m fine now…”
Without the suppression of that pressure, Cui Beiqian finally ca back to her senses and let go of Chen Fan sowhat sheepishly.
To his own surprise, Chen Fan actually felt a strange sense of loss in his heart.
He had to admit—her figure was too perfect.
And that sensation just now—was undeniably real.
I wonder if the Western dusas can fully take human form…
Gazing at Cui Beiqian’s golden tail, Chen Fan felt a little curious.
Though both were dusas, Cui Beiqian and the Empress ca from different worlds. Aside from their differing bloodlines, their worldviews were also distinct.
From what Chen Fan knew, the Empress’ dusa clan gave birth to live young.
Whereas Cui Beiqian’s dusa clan laid eggs.
Her clan seed to be a type of beastkin.
Creak…
Before long, the door creaked open, and the dusa Empress slowly walked in.
Yes, this ti, she walked in.
Her snake tail was gone, replaced by a pair of legs.
Long and slender, making her appear tall and striking.
She had fully transford!
Though she had retracted her aura, she still instinctively exuded an overwhelming pressure.
It was the innate might of a born sovereign.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough!”
Chen Fan said with a smile.
He knew that at this mont, the dusa before him was truly a Dou Zong-level powerhouse.
“All thanks to your help, Young Master.”
“If it weren’t for you, I would probably still be on the brink of death.”
“If I’m not mistaken, while you were healing , you also enhanced my potential and aptitude.”
“With my original talent, I could never have broken through without a supre opportunity.”
The dusa Empress was filled with gratitude, her heart brimming with curiosity toward Chen Fan’s mysteriousness.
Miraculous healing skills, the power to reverse decay and restore vitality, and thods to forcibly recover her strength—
These were likely techniques that only gods could wield.
And yet, Chen Fan didn’t look all that powerful on the surface.
“It was just a small effort.”
Chen Fan smiled lightly, then said, “Now that you’ve broken through, could I trouble you with a favor?”
“Please speak, Young Master. I am at your service!”
The Empress responded solemnly.
“Co outside with . It’s too cramped in here.”
“Later, I’ll need you to shield the surrounding aura.”
Chen Fan didn’t bother with niceties.
He was worried that if Ba Xia stayed in the storage ring any longer, it might suffocate—even if it couldn’t die.
“That’s easy enough.”
The dusa Empress smiled and followed Chen Fan out of the house.
Outside was a wide open space.
Chen Fan’s ho was a single-level residence in the outskirts, quite far from the city center.
In this new era, the territory of Blue Star was vast. The rebuilt residential buildings were no longer densely packed.
Skyscrapers were a thing of the past.
After all, everyone was a cultivator now—no one wanted their neighbor living right above their head.
Plus, everyone had their own secrets when shopping online.
Living too close made it easier to be detected, which often led to theft or murder.
Hence, nearly every house was spaced apart to a certain degree.
This spacing was known as the “safe distance.”
Buzz…
Once they reached the open area, the dusa Empress released her aura, forming a barrier to shield the surroundings.
Boom!
Chen Fan imdiately released Ba Xia. Its massive body landed heavily, making the ground tremble violently.
“This is… a dragon?!”
Cui Beiqian, who had followed him out, was utterly shocked.
She could feel an overwhelming draconic pressure emanating from Baxia.
“This is Ba Xia,” Chen Fan explained softly.
“It’s in a hibernation state—essentially a state of feigned death…”
“But it’s incredibly weak right now.”
The dusa Empress, having regained her strength, imdiately sensed Baxia’s condition.
“Feigned death…”
Chen Fan let out a breath of relief.
“No, wait. Its life force seems to be nearing its end…”
“It’s trying to pass on its life force and power… to its offspring.”
The Empress discovered sothing else.
“Offspring?”
“This is an Eastern divine beast. In a low-tier fantasy world, who could possibly be worthy of it?”
Chen Fan frowned.
“Young Master, in our world, procreation doesn’t necessarily require a mate.”
“A powerful divine beast can also conceive offspring by consuming the Water of Life.”
Cui Beiqian explained.
“I see…”
Chen Fan nodded, then stopped hesitating and placed his palm on Baxia’s head.
“System, repair Baxia.”
He connected with the system.
[Ding! How much does the host wish to repair?]
[Ba Xia is an ancient Eastern divine beast. Your current points are insufficient for full restoration.]
The system’s prompt echoed.
“Leave ten thousand points. Use the rest for repairs…”
After a mont of thought, Chen Fan spoke.
An ancient divine beast—he had to restore it as much as possible.
Even among the myriad worlds, such a creature was incredibly rare.
And he had stumbled upon one in a trash heap.
What’s more—it was carrying an unborn cub inside.
That was practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal!
Buzz…
As soon as the words left his mouth, brilliant white light burst forth from Chen Fan’s palm, enveloping Ba Xia entirely. The light slowly seeped into its body, nourishing it from within…
