Chapter 77 - Two Methods to Treat Mara-Struck

"Yes, Uncle Yang, I can."

A flash of excitement flickered discreetly in Welt's eyes upon hearing this, his tone even becoming a little impatient.

"Oh? What can you manufacture? Can you make this type?"

Welt quietly used his powers to project an image of a very cool robot that, from its appearance, looked remarkably like a Gundam.

Fu Zhu glanced at it and couldn't help but whisper to Welt, "Uncle Yang, won't you get sued for projecting this? I've seen many animations where Gundams have to be censored!"

Welt coughed lightly and replied in an equally low voice, "It's fine. This is a robot from an anime in my hometown. There are no copyright issues, so... can you make it?"

Fu Zhu didn't answer immediately but instead browsed through his MOD library.

After rummaging through it, Fu Zhu actually found quite a few MODs related to large robots, such as the Titanfall MOD, Gundam MODs, and even MODs for mechanical monsters from Ultraman.

During this search, Fu Zhu also found some rather unfamiliar MODs, like something called "Stands," "Honkai," and the like.

He could understand the Stand MOD, but as for Honkai... he had only heard Welt mention it once and didn't know if it was the same thing. If he had spare achievement points in the future, he might consider installing it to see.

"Uncle Yang, there's nothing I can't build that you can think of; it just requires some time."

After looking through the MOD library, Fu Zhu confidently patted his chest, assuring Welt. The MC's MODs encompassed a myriad of things!

Even if they didn't exist, Fu Zhu felt he could learn how to create MODs himself or directly ask Herta to help create them.

He had a feeling that the system was capable of more than he currently understood. Perhaps creating a MOD himself was actually feasible!

Seeing Fu Zhu's assurance, the excitement in Welt's eyes intensified. He was about to chat more with Fu Zhu when he noticed they had already entered the Seat of Divine Foresight, so he could only shake his head with some disappointment.

"Mm, let's talk about this next time. We have important matters to attend to now."

"Alright."

As Fu Zhu and his group stepped into the Seat of Divine Foresight, they entered a spacious office. There, they saw a grey-haired man clad in armor standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Fu Xuan by a long table. Upon seeing the group arrive, both their gazes shifted to Fu Zhu and the others.

"Welcome, esteemed Nameless guests of the Astral Express, to the Xianzhou Luofu. On behalf of the Luofu, I extend a sincere welcome to you all. To be able to meet the renowned Nameless here in the galaxy is truly an event worthy of remembrance."

Right off the bat, the grey-haired man's enthusiastic demeanor made everyone feel a bit overwhelmed by the warm reception.

Fu Xuan, beside him, shot him an annoyed glance and coughed lightly, her right fist covering her mouth.

"General, you have yet to introduce yourself to our guests."

"Oh, right. Lady Fu is correct, I almost forgot."

The grey-haired man coughed lightly and, with a smile, introduced himself to the group, "I am Jing Yuan, the current General of the Luofu."

Fu Xuan also followed Jing Yuan's lead and introduced herself.

"Although I have met some of the Nameless before, please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Fu Xuan, the Great Diviner of the Divination Commission."

Fu Zhu and the others, in a very polite manner, returned the gesture according to Xianzhou etiquette, cupping their fists.

"We've long heard of your renown."

After the simple introductions, Jing Yuan didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.

"Everyone, I have learned the specifics from Lady Fu. Firstly, I thank you all for helping the Luofu capture the Stellaron Hunter who absconded into our territory. I have already ordered him to be placed under strict watch. However, as for why he infiltrated the Luofu... I'm afraid it will take some time to interrogate him."

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Welt couldn't help but be taken aback. He then turned to look at Fu Zhu, Xing, and March 7th.

What had these three youngsters been up to while they were separated? In just a single morning, they had actually managed to capture a Stellaron Hunter?

In contrast, his side had yielded virtually no results. They had even relied on these three youngsters to be led to the entrance of the Seat of Divine Foresight.

After a moment's hesitation, Welt cast a look at Fu Zhu.

He felt it would be best to let Fu Zhu take the lead in this exchange with Jing Yuan, while he provided support from the side.

After all, their information wasn't symmetrical. Even though they had only been separated for a short morning, Welt felt like he had missed several major events.

Fu Zhu understood the meaning behind Welt's glance. He took a slight step forward, drawing Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan's attention to himself.

"General, regarding the Stellaron Hunter's purpose for infiltrating the Luofu, we have a small conjecture: the Stellaron."

Jing Yuan was no fool. Hearing Fu Zhu say this, he nodded in agreement and continued Fu Zhu's line of thought.

"Indeed. If it were me, without sufficient 'benefit' to motivate me, I wouldn't proactively seek out the Xianzhou Alliance and risk being hunted by them to infiltrate the Luofu. The Stellaron is likely the 'benefit' driving their actions.

However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. As far as I know, there is an individual among the Stellaron Hunters known as a Slave of Destiny. Perhaps the Stellaron Hunters infiltrated the Luofu under its arrangements, seeking something else."

Fu Zhu simply nodded and didn't say much more. At times like these, it was necessary to let the Luofu side do their own thinking.

However, Jing Yuan didn't dwell too much on the Stellaron Hunters' motives. Instead, he shifted the conversation back to Fu Zhu and the others.

"I have an impudent request. I wonder if our Nameless guests could lend a hand?"

"General, please feel free to speak."

This was precisely Fu Zhu and his group's objective. They needed a reasonable pretext to get involved in this matter, making it easier for them to subsequently investigate the Stellaron's whereabouts.

If the Luofu side actively invited them, it would be even better.

Although Jing Yuan wore a smile, his tone turned serious.

"While the Luofu has methods to deal with Stellarons, when it comes to dealing with Stellaron Hunters, perhaps none are as experienced as you Nameless. Therefore, Jing Yuan wishes to borrow the strength of our Nameless guests to eliminate the hidden dangers lurking within the Luofu. What say you, esteemed Nameless? After the matter is resolved, the Luofu will surely offer a generous reward!"

After exchanging glances with his companions, Fu Zhu decisively agreed.

"The Astral Express never turns a blind eye to Stellaron Hunters. Though our strength is meager, we hope to be of some assistance to the Luofu."

A look of joy appeared on Jing Yuan's face as he cupped his fists in thanks to Fu Zhu and the others.

"Then, on behalf of the Luofu, Jing Yuan thanks you all. Later, I will have someone arrange for your food and lodging on the Luofu. As long as you are on the Luofu, all expenses will be covered by the Seat of Divine Foresight!"

"Many thanks, General."

After concluding their discussion, Yanqing was instructed to arrange for Fu Zhu and his group's accommodations.

Jing Yuan, with his hands behind his back, watched Fu Zhu and the others depart. His gaze couldn't help but drift to Fu Xuan, who had been staring intently at Fu Zhu from beginning to end. He couldn't resist teasing her.

"What's this? Has Lady Fu taken a liking to one of the Nameless?"

Jing Yuan had expected this playful remark to be met with Fu Xuan's sharpest retort. However, he saw Fu Xuan turn her head away, her small face flushed red, and the smile on his lips instantly vanished.

What was going on? Had he actually hit the mark?!

"It's... it's not like that at all!"

Though it was a denial, paired with Fu Xuan's blushing face, it was utterly unconvincing.

This sight made Jing Yuan narrow his eyes. "Let me guess, is it that young man named Fu Zhu?"

Fu Xuan jolted as if she were a small animal poked in a sensitive spot, turning her head back to look at Jing Yuan in disbelief.

"General, how did you know?! Did Qingque tell you privately?"

"Of course not."

Jing Yuan shrugged cheerfully, spreading his hands. "It was just a simple process of elimination."

First, ruling out the two female Nameless, that left only Fu Zhu and Welt.

And since they weren't long-life species, the one who could pique the interest of Fu Xuan, who was also young among the long-life species, was probably only Fu Zhu.

Seeing that Jing Yuan had guessed correctly, Fu Xuan sighed powerlessly. Looking at the empty doorway, she couldn't help but ask Jing Yuan.

"General, do you think the Matrix of Prescience can make mistakes?"

"Hmm... speaking of the Matrix of Prescience, you should understand it better than I do. However, I don't believe the Matrix of Prescience would make significant errors. For how many Amber Eras has the Matrix of Prescience divined auspicious and inauspicious outcomes for the Luofu? Lady Fu, you should be clearer on this than anyone."

"Is that so..."

Fu Xuan pursed her lips, then directly took out her phone from her skirt pocket and began typing a message on it.

Jing Yuan quietly leaned over to take a peek but was discovered by the vigilant Fu Xuan, forcing him to sheepishly turn his head away.

"Ahem, what is Lady Fu doing?"

"Asking Fu Zhu out."

"So direct?!"

Was this still the same Fu Xuan from his memory, the one who was always serious and rarely smiled?

Fu Xuan shot Jing Yuan a cold glance, then snorted softly and walked out of the Seat of Divine Foresight, her hands still busy typing the message as she went.

Since both she and Jing Yuan felt that the Matrix of Prescience wouldn't make any major errors, it meant that Fu Zhu truly was her fated person.

Since she couldn't change it, she might as well take the initiative!

"Instructor Fu Zhu, if you need anything, feel free to contact me at any time."

After Yanqing escorted Fu Zhu and the others back to the guesthouse and saw that they were settled in, he left with these words.

Welt watched Yanqing depart, then turned to Fu Zhu and the other two beside him and said, "Alright, you have the rest of the afternoon free."

"Really?" ×2

March 7th and Xing looked at Welt in pleasant surprise, then asked again, somewhat uncertainly, "Uncle Yang, can we really have free time?"

Welt nodded with a smile.

"Yes, the most difficult problem has been resolved for now. We probably won't get any clues about the Stellaron in the short term. This will likely require waiting for the Luofu side to extract some information from the captured Stellaron Hunter before we can proceed. I will maintain contact with the Luofu side. You all should cherish this short period to rest well."

"Yay!"

March 7th and Xing joyfully high-fived, then simultaneously turned their heads to look at the indifferent Fu Zhu.

"Fu Zhu (Old Bro)! Let's go shopping!"

Fu Zhu shrugged indifferently. "Whatever, but on the condition that I won't be carrying anything for you."

"No problem!"

March 7th patted the arm of the Iron Golem standing beside them. "You just let the Iron Golem follow us! We can hang anything on it!"

Fu Zhu gave the two a resigned look but didn't refuse. As long as they were happy.

And so, Fu Zhu hadn't even rested for a moment in the guesthouse before he was dragged outside by the two girls, with the Iron Golem striding quickly behind them.

The three humans and one golem had just stepped out of the guesthouse when a little girl, barely reaching their waists, spread her arms to block their path.

"Wait a minute! You villains who destroyed the medical center! Compensate me for my medical center!"

Fu Zhu and the others immediately stopped, looking quizzically at the little girl before them, who even had small dragon horns on her head.

"Lady Bailu, wait!"

Not far away, two attendant girls ran over, panting as they stopped beside Bailu.

Bailu paid no attention to the two attendants, still puffing her cheeks and glaring at Fu Zhu's group and the Iron Golem behind them.

"Compensate me for my medical center! Do you know how many patients couldn't receive timely treatment after you wrecked it?! Although no lives were lost, it caused them to suffer for an extended period!"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally, March 7th bent down slightly and asked, "Little sister, if you're talking about the medical center, you should be looking for the Department of Balance, right?"

The Iron Golem had damaged the medical center while subduing Blade, and Yanqing had stated at the time that the Seat of Divine Foresight would cover the damages. So, it didn't make sense for Bailu to come looking for them.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Bailu tilted her head in confusion, pointing a finger to her lips as she looked towards the two attendants beside her.

"Is that what they said?"

The attendant wiped her sweat and nodded somewhat helplessly.

"That's right, Lady Bailu. We tried to tell you at the time, but you completely ignored us and just ran off to apprehend them..."

"But, what about the patients who haven't been treated yet? The medical center is destroyed, there's no place to house them."

"Lady Bailu, please rest assured. The people from the Department of Balance are already preparing for reconstruction. It won't take more than a few days to rebuild."

"But that's such a long delay..."

Xing, listening to their exchange, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Just as she was about to speak, Fu Zhu suddenly clapped a hand over her mouth.

Xing looked at Fu Zhu, bewildered, blinking as if asking what he was doing covering her mouth.

Fu Zhu said exasperatedly, "Although I don't know what you're about to say, I have a feeling you're going to stir up some trouble for me."

Xing reached up, trying to pry Fu Zhu's hand from her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Fu Zhu chuckled. "Don't waste your energy, sis. When it comes to strength, Little March is at the bottom, and you're second to last."

March 7th crossed her arms, looking displeased. "When you two siblings argue, don't drag me into it!"

Xing tried a few more times but couldn't break free. She then simply stuck out her tongue and licked Fu Zhu's palm.

The warm, moist sensation made Fu Zhu recoil his hand as if electrocuted.

Xing, having regained her freedom of speech, shot Fu Zhu a provocative look with a raised eyebrow, then said to Bailu.

"Isn't it just a medical center! My brother can build one for you in a snap!"

After saying this, Xing didn't forget to give Fu Zhu a thumbs-up.

"Old Bro, you must remember, looking for trouble is the specialty of us Nameless!"

She was just wondering how to pass this boring time. It was perfect to find something for her old bro to do, then she and Little March could watch the show from the sidelines!

Fu Zhu made an intergalactic friendly gesture at Xing.

"Having a sister like you is truly my blessing."

"Hehe!"

Bailu, whose attention had been drawn by Xing's earlier words, looked at Fu Zhu, pointing a finger at her lips as she asked curiously.

"Big brother, can you build houses?"

Seeing that she had asked, Fu Zhu nodded.

"I can, but the charges are exorbitant."

Bailu immediately clapped her chest delightedly and declared, "As long as big brother can rebuild the medical center quickly so I can continue treating patients, any amount of money is fine! It's not like I'm paying anyway!"

No wonder you're being so generous, so it's because you're not footing the bill!

Since things had already come to this, Fu Zhu naturally agreed. Besides, since he was undertaking a side quest, he definitely had to gain some benefits for himself.

Since the other party wanted him to rebuild a medical center, there would undoubtedly be various medicinal ingredients inside. Perhaps he could find some items that could be converted, and it would be even better if he could find something convertible into MC alchemy-related items.

He still didn't know what kind of enemies he would encounter on the Xianzhou. For now, he couldn't craft powerful SlashBlades; at best, he could only make a wooden one, which was clearly not enough.

If he could concoct various MC potions with effects, it would make his subsequent actions much smoother.

"Okay, big brother, follow me!"

Seeing Fu Zhu agree, Bailu once again scuttled off on her short legs.

"Hey, hey, Lady Bailu, wait for us!"

The two attendants helplessly started running again to catch up. Poor things, they hadn't even had a chance to rest before they had to run again.

Fu Zhu's group of three, plus the golem, also followed.

When they arrived at the ruins of the medical center, the area had already been cordoned off with fences by people from the Department of Balance. The person in charge of the reconstruction here saw Bailu and Fu Zhu's group arrive and immediately came over.

"Lady Dragon, and you esteemed guests... you must be the Nameless the General spoke of?"

Fu Zhu looked at the person in charge with some surprise. "You know us?"

The person in charge smiled and nodded. "Lord Yanqing has already informed us of the cause and effect of the damage to the medical center, so we were specifically assigned to handle the reconstruction here."

Bailu, however, shook her head and said, "You don't need to rebuild it. This big brother said he can rebuild it!"

The person in charge was taken aback, then looked at Fu Zhu and repeatedly waved his hands. "Mr. Nameless, it's best to leave this matter to us, the Department of Balance. We wouldn't want to trouble our guests."

"It's no trouble, it'll only take a few minutes."

Fu Zhu glanced at the ruins of the medical center. It was called ruins, but in reality, the situation was much better. Only a few walls were damaged, and the crucial load-bearing pillars were intact, so the overall structure of the building hadn't collapsed. He only needed to use blocks to plug the holes or repair the wall surfaces.

For Steve, a task like this taking a few minutes would be too long!

The person in charge wanted to say more, but Fu Zhu had already taken out wooden planks and walked forward.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the person in charge, Fu Zhu, with a few swift movements, replaced all the damaged walls of the medical center with brand-new wooden planks in less than two minutes.

"Well... Mr. Nameless, there are many aspects to consider when reconstructing a building..."

Although the person in charge was somewhat surprised by Fu Zhu's speed, he still tactfully questioned Fu Zhu's technique.

Xing, seeing the person in charge actually daring to question her old bro's craftsmanship, immediately pulled out her baseball bat, feeling indignant.

Of course, she wasn't going to hit anyone. Instead, she walked directly to the wall Fu Zhu had just repaired and swung the baseball bat right at it.

Thud!

The wooden wall remained completely undamaged. Instead, Xing's hands stung from the impact.

She grimaced, shaking her tingling hands, then turned to the person in charge and said, "Now, do you still have any doubts?"

The person in charge looked at Xing dumbfounded, then at the unscathed wooden wall, and stammered, shaking his head.

"No, no more."

As expected of the Nameless, even their method of inspecting buildings was so unconventional!

Thus, the person in charge decisively had the fences around the medical center removed and left with his men.

After watching the people from the Department of Balance leave, Fu Zhu snapped his fingers at Bailu.

"Done. Next, let me see what good stuff you have in your shop."

"Huh?"

Bailu asked, somewhat puzzled, "You don't want money?"

"Money is not very useful to me. Even if I can buy things online, it takes time. Time is more valuable to me than money."

Fu Zhu wasn't very familiar with the currency of this world, but whether it was metal coins or paper money, it wasn't very useful to him.

At best, it would convert into metal nuggets and paper. He'd rather pick out useful items from Bailu's medical center.

Although Bailu was small, having two attendants constantly with her clearly indicated she wasn't of low status. So, her medical center must have some good stuff!

"Alright then."

Since Fu Zhu requested it, Bailu didn't refuse. After all, he was the one she had asked to help repair the building.

However, she didn't forget to remind Fu Zhu.

"Let me tell you beforehand, because you guys were fighting here earlier, most of the medicinal ingredients have been moved. If there's anything specific you need, you'll have to tell me, and I'll have someone fetch it for you."

This made Fu Zhu look at Bailu in a new light. This little girl might be a bit of a tiger, but she was quite sensible.

Fu Zhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Are all the little bros and little sisters on the Xianzhou this well-behaved?

The group entered the medical center. The Iron Golem, due to its height, was left outside.

Xing and March 7th also curiously examined some of the items in the medical center that hadn't been moved yet due to time constraints.

Fu Zhu also rummaged around, picking up each item to feel its weight, mainly to see the system's reaction.

[Medicinal Cotton]

[Currently Convertible: Wool]

Ordinary, but somewhat useful. Take it!

[Tweezers]

[Currently Convertible: Shears]

Although he could make them anytime, well... free stuff smells good! Take it!

[Human Acupuncture Point Chart]

[Currently Convertible: Painting]

Useless, but take it anyway!

Bailu and her two attendants watched with dumbfounded expressions as Fu Zhu touched various items, only for them to vanish in the next second, with no idea where he was storing them.

Bailu had initially planned to introduce the items Fu Zhu saw one by one, so he could choose some as his reward.

But she hadn't expected Fu Zhu to be an indiscriminate taker! Regardless of whether he could use it or not, anything he touched was collected!

As Fu Zhu was happily touching items, his peripheral vision caught sight of some pharmaceutical equipment on a nearby table. His eyes instantly lit up, and he reached out to grab it.

[Pharmaceutical Table]

[Currently Convertible: Brewing Stand]

Good stuff! Take it!

Successfully obtaining the Brewing Stand made Fu Zhu ecstatic. Next, he just needed to find something convertible into Blaze Rods or Blaze Powder, and he could start brewing potions!

The arrows he had previously "borrowed" from March 7th could finally be put to use!

Just as Fu Zhu was rejoicing over obtaining the Brewing Stand, several people suddenly burst in, carrying a man trussed up like a dumpling.

"Lady Dragon, help!"

Everyone in the medical center was drawn by the shout and turned their gazes towards the newcomers.

The men who rushed into the medical center placed the bound man on the floor and looked at Bailu with an urgent expression.

"Lady Dragon, he's become Mara-Struck! Please help, can you save him?"

"Mara-Struck?"

Upon hearing it was Mara-Struck, Bailu's tender face immediately tensed up. She quickly approached the man who had been laid on the floor.

Golden branches had begun to sprout from the body of the man tied up on the floor. Intense pain contorted his features, and inhuman roars escaped his lips from time to time.

March 7th and Xing, who had never seen a Mara-Struck person before, were frightened by this scene and quickly huddled beside Fu Zhu.

The moment Fu Zhu heard "Mara-Struck," his interest was piqued. His right hand even directly summoned the Godfall Sword, ready to make a move at any moment.

The last Mara-Struck creature he encountered, before he could even "farm" it a few hundred times, was "rescued" by Yanqing.

Now that he had caught another Mara-Struck person, if possible, he was going to "farm" it at least a few hundred times!

At the very least, he needed to farm enough for a stack of Golden Apples!

After examining for a moment, Bailu's brow furrowed, and she shook her head regretfully.

"I'm sorry, I can't save him. I can only prescribe some medicine to alleviate his pain, and then contact the Cloud Knights to handle it."

"How... how can this be..."

Upon hearing Bailu's words, several of the family members immediately burst into tears. Others held back tears, looking at Bailu with unwillingness.

"Lady Dragon, everyone says your medical skills are superb. How could you not save him? He... he just started showing signs of becoming Mara-Struck!"

Bailu maintained a stern expression, a seriousness on her face that belied her appearance.

"No matter how long one has been succumbing to Mara, once it begins, there is no cure. As Xianzhou natives, you should know this better than anyone."

The group couldn't help but lower their heads. Bailu was right; they knew better than anyone that there was no cure for becoming Mara-Struck.

But who would willingly give up on their friends and family, allowing them to succumb to the Mara?

March 7th, hiding beside Fu Zhu, couldn't help but ask Bailu.

"Mara-Struck... what is it?"

"It is a 'curse' brought about by the 'blessing' of [Abundance]." Bailu's mood was somewhat low at this moment, so she simply explained it to March 7th.

"Curse..."

March 7th looked sympathetically at the family members sobbing together, almost subconsciously turning to Fu Zhu beside her.

In times like these, no matter what trouble they encountered, Fu Zhu always seemed to have his upper, middle, and lower strategies. So, now...

But this thought had barely risen in her mind before March 7th squashed it.

She shouldn't cause trouble for Fu Zhu with such a difficult and troublesome matter. Moreover, she also noticed that even Xing, despite seeing the family members weeping, was merely standing quietly beside Fu Zhu, making no move.

In ordinary times, Xing, with her meddlesome nature, would have long since asked Fu Zhu if he had any solutions. Yet, now she was remarkably quiet.

Xing seemed to notice March 7th's gaze and just shook her head at her.

Indeed, she enjoyed seeking help from her old bro, but the premise was that it wouldn't cause trouble for him or make him pay a heavy price.

For example, when Fu Zhu helped Bailu rebuild the medical center, she knew beforehand that her old bro had the ability to easily construct buildings, which was why she suggested it.

Things that weren't troublesome, at most earning a few complaints from her old bro, she wouldn't mind proposing to let him make more good connections and expand his network.

But treating the Mara-Struck, especially after learning it was related to an Aeon, Xing immediately extinguished any thought of asking her old bro for help. She also didn't want anyone else to trouble her old bro.

This involved an Aeon! What if an accident occurred during the process?

She only had this one old bro!

In contrast to Xing's reluctance, when Fu Zhu heard Bailu say that Mara-Struck was related to [Abundance], his mind became active.

He had long ago received a clue from the system about switching his survival mode authority: the power of the Path of [Abundance]!

If he could attract the attention of [Abundance], he could escape extreme mode and no longer have to live in fear.

The Mara-Struck person before him might very well be his chance to attract the attention of [Abundance]!

However, this was merely Fu Zhu's speculation. After all, he didn't understand the Path of [Abundance] well and couldn't guarantee that treating a Mara-Struck person would attract its attention.

Moreover, Fu Zhu wasn't clear on what state Mara-Struck actually was.

He could currently think of only two ways to treat Mara-Struck.

One was the panacea that could remove all negative statuses—Milk!

The second was the ritual used in MC to cure zombie villagers and restore their life forms, but this required a Potion of Weakness and a Golden Apple.

Currently, he didn't have Potions of Weakness, so the second method was temporarily unusable. Relying solely on milk, Fu Zhu didn't have a hundred percent confidence in curing the Mara-Struck, and it might even expose one of his trump cards—milk.

After some thought, Fu Zhu ultimately decided to forgo the plan to treat this Mara-Struck person before him.

He could treat it, but not right now.

And once he was sure he could treat it, there was no rush.

Perhaps he could first discuss this matter privately with Jing Yuan.
