Chapter 361: Why is there such a fat chicken in St. Freya Academy?

She reached out to take the half-bottle of dandelion wine from Wendy, but before she could grab it, Fu Lin snatched it first.

"This wine's mine."

Fu Lin held the bottle tightly, a playful smirk on his lips as he looked at Bronya and said teasingly,

"Bronya, you don't want your little Wendy to be unable to walk again, do you?"

Hearing Fu Lin's words, Himeko also sat up and chimed in, "Hey, Fu Lin, let me have a taste too! Don't hog it all to yourself."

As she spoke, she reached out toward Fu Lin, eyes sparkling with anticipation.

===============

As the dandelion wine was completely divided between Fu Lin and Himeko, Fu Lin finally wiped the remaining stains from the corner of his mouth in satisfaction. He then squatted down, reached out his right hand, and gently held up Wendy's slender, fair calf to examine it carefully.

When Wendy came to her senses, Fu Lin was already standing up. At some point, a delicate and compact dagger had appeared in his hand.

Fu Lin gently wiped the blade of the dagger. As he watched the cold gleam flickering off the blade, he asked in a soft voice, "Are you afraid of pain?"

Wendy seemed a bit bewildered, but instinctively shook her head and replied, "I'm not afraid."

At that moment, under Wendy's shocked gaze, Fu Lin unhesitatingly brought the dagger close to her tender, jade-like calf skin and gently made a cut.

In an instant, a slender wound appeared on the calf, and blood quickly seeped from the cut...

Wendy's face turned deathly pale in an instant, drained of all color. She gripped the wheelchair's armrests tightly, her body instinctively shrinking back. After gasping sharply, she asked in a voice filled with fear and trembling, "You... you're not just going to take it out like this, are you?"

Hearing Wendy's question, Fu Lin paused what he was doing, looked up at her with a puzzled expression, and then asked in return, "What else would I do?"

Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly shouted, "Are you really a doctor? Don't you even use anesthesia?"

Her voice was full of fear and confusion.

In the face of Wendy's questioning, Fu Lin remained calm and composed. He simply replied indifferently, "Didn't you say you weren't afraid of pain?"

"Besides, I'm not a doctor. I'm just a history teacher at St. Freya Academy."

Upon hearing this, Wendy's face turned even paler, and she screamed in terror, "Stop! I don't want treatment anymore!"

"That won't do. I've already drunk your wine, so I have to treat you. Don't worry, it'll be out in no time."

However, just as Fu Lin finished speaking, he had already taken out a gemstone emitting a faint green glow from inside.

Fu Lin lowered his head and stared at the Desire Gem in his palm, then quietly put it away.

Immediately after, a glow began to flicker in his palm...

As the light gradually faded, the wound on Wendy's calf visibly healed, as if it had never existed.

Having witnessed everything, Fu Lin withdrew his hands with satisfaction, then stood up.

He gazed at Wendy, who still seemed stunned, and a faint smile formed on his lips as he softly said, "It's all healed. Do you want to try standing and walking?"

Hearing Fu Lin's words, Wendy seemed to awaken from a dream.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she lowered her head and stared at her calf intently, blinking hard as if she couldn't believe what had just happened.

She then took a deep breath, gripped the wheelchair's armrests tightly, and used all her strength to push herself up, trembling as she stood up from the wheelchair.

When her feet finally stepped firmly onto the ground, Wendy couldn't help but murmur softly,

"Ah… mm… is it really over?"

Her words were filled with confusion and shock. Clearly, she was astonished by such a miraculous and swift treatment process.

Watching Wendy's dazed and cute expression, Fu Lin couldn't help but find it amusing.

He reached out and gently ruffled Wendy's little head, smiling as he said, "Surprised, right? Bronya was just like you at the time."

Bronya's voice rang out from behind, and she stepped forward to support the wobbly Wendy. Looking at Fu Lin, she retorted speechlessly, "Bronya wasn't surprised at the time. It's just that…"

...

In the central plaza of St. Freya Academy, the sun was shining, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

A figure dressed in post-Honkai era attire appeared silently.

She stood quietly in place, her gaze sweeping across the passing students, her lips curling into a faint smile.

"I finally made it through..."

"But where in St. Freya Academy would Fu Lin be now?"

Mei muttered to herself, her eyes showing a hint of anticipation and confusion.

At that moment, a chicken leisurely strolling through the campus walked past Mei.

It let out cheerful "quack quack" sounds, as if humming a little tune, looking especially content.

Perhaps because Mei's gaze was too obvious, Black Kite noticed someone was staring at it. It slowly stopped in its tracks, turned around, and curiously stared at Mei with its round eyes.

Then, it let out a series of "quack quack" sounds, as if asking, "Isn't this the Mei who always fed me?"

Black Kite blinked and continued examining Mei, feeling puzzled—how could Mei's aura change so drastically overnight?

Mei also lowered her head, locking eyes with Black Kite. Her gaze fell on its chubby body, a glint appearing in her eyes as she thought to herself, "Why is there such a fat chicken in St. Freya Academy?"

"Forget it. This fat chicken looks delicious! If I catch it and stew it into soup for Fu Lin, he'd probably be very happy..."

Black Kite suddenly shuddered all over, nervously looking around. But finding nothing unusual nearby, it couldn't help but let out a low cry, "Quack?"

There was a hint of unease in Black Kite's voice.
