<h1>Chapter 43: Are You A Fanyin Tree? (3)</h1>

“Let’s wait until the Young Miss is back in school. If you really cannot get accustomed to that environment, we can always find a way to change schools.”

“School?” Mi Wan nearly spat out a mouthful of soup. Did she hear that right? “I still need to go to school?”

“Of course! You are in your second year of university. There are two more years before you can graduate.”

“Wait wait…” Mi Wan anxiously stopped Butler Ye from delivering more shocking news as she sifted through all the memories regarding her school; mainly her academic performance…

Whew, thank goodness, the original host’s results were still okay. She got into college through meritocracy. Boohoo. That nearly scared me to death.

“Err, when do I go back to school?” Mi Wan asked.

“There are two months left in this semester. The First Young Master said that if the Young Miss is willing, you can start going back to class next week. But you need to return back to this villa every day to resume your treatment. You need to finish your rehabilitation program before you can go back and live at school,” Butler Ye replied.

“Understood.” Looks like the original host had rented a house near the school, with a monthly rent of 6000 yuan. The place had been vacant for several months now. So wasteful.

Upon accepting that she had to return to school to attend classes and take tests as a part of her miserable fate, Mi Wan solemnly walked back to her room after lunch and resumed the Fanyin sapling’s treatment.

“Big sister, why the sudden long face?” After a morning of treatment, the Fanyin tree had recovered a part of its strength and could now speak.

“Big sister did not get to eat any meat for lunch.” Let alone meat, Mi Wan could just imagine that after some time, Auntie Zhang might not even bother turning on the stove and just feed her apples.

“Then eat it during dinner.”

“There’s none for dinner either.”

“Why?”

“They say eating meat makes you fat.” Mi Wan whined tragically. What kind of logic was this? How do you explain the presence of fat monks in temples?

“Big sister, don’t worry. I will definitely reserve my best leaf for you. Guaranteed weight loss.” The little Fanyin tree promised.

“You’re so good.” Listening to the little Fanyin tree’s soft and tender voice made Mi Wan’s heart melt, and she could not help but bend down and gave the little sapling a small kiss on its leaf.

The little tree sapling shook in embarrassment and curled its leaves upwards, mimicking a shy maiden covering her face.

Mi Wan chuckled and continued to use her spiritual force to help smooth out the little tree sapling’s spiritual body. The little tree sapling was so relaxed that its stems softened.

“Big sister, why is your spiritual force able to purge out the demonic poison in my body?” The little Fanyin sapling asked curiously. Even the powerful tree demon next door, with all his vast demonic power, could only stop the spread of demonic poison but not purge it.

“Because opposites balance each other.” Mi Wan had asked her teacher the same question when she was little, “I am a demon hunter. Demon Hunters and demons exist as two sides of a coin. Our spiritual power can be used against demonic powers. Demonic poison is produced from demonic energy, which is why your demonic powers cannot metabolize it, but the spiritual energy from us demon hunters can.”

The little Fanyin tree exclaimed, “So the ones who can treat us, are our natural enemies?”

“It’s not like every demon hunter can do what I do. Without a specialized technique, a demon hunter’s spiritual power can cause more harm than the demonic poison if it enters a demon’s spiritual body.” In this world, except for her wonderful teacher, there would never be another person who would spend the time researching for such a technique where one could convert a demon hunter’s spiritual power into healing power for demons.

At 1 A.M, Mi Wan carried the little tree sapling and once again climbed over the wall.

“Yo, good evening.” Reaching the top of the wall, Mi Wan found Fan Chen waiting in his courtyard.

Fan Chen raised his head to glance at her, and then turned his attention to the Fanyin sapling on her shoulder. Seeing that it was able to cling on to the other person using its leaves and branches, it looked like it made a full recovery.

“Your excellency, big sister has cured my illness.” When the little tree sapling saw Fan Chen, it waved its leaves excitedly, causing Mi Wan to giggle.

“That tickles~~”

“What’s that sound?” Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the Mi family’s courtyard. The patrol team was walking towards her with their tasers raised.

Afraid of getting caught, Mi Wan tumbled forward without much preparation.

Fan Chen raised his brows, and with a raise of his palm, a net of thickly entwined vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, growing a whole foot in height in a blink of an eye, and secured the falling fat woman.

Mi Wan giggled as she stood up: “Thank you.”

“I was worried you would crush my flower pots,” Fan Chen explained.

Mi Wan turned, and sure enough, there were two flower pots on the corner of the wall. She instantly broke out in cold sweat. That’s nearly two million yuan!

“Thanks.” This time, her gratitude sounded a lot more solemn than before.

“… Let’s go to the square.” Fan Chen did not wish to continue talking. This greed for money was definitely human nature!

When they arrived at the square, Mi Wan’s first task was to hand over the little Fanyin tree in her arms to Fan Chen and then run over to the milk tea shop to buy a cup of milk tea.

“Why are you here so late again?” The milk tea shop owner hung up and began preparing Mi Wan’s milk tea.

“Yeah, I feel like drinking it every day around this time.”

“I can see that.” The milk tea shop owner said meaningfully.

“Lend me your shovel again.” When she walked back yesterday, she returned the small shovel by leaving it by the shop entrance.

“Here.”

With one hand holding a cup of milk tea and another grasping the shovel, Mi Wan hummed as she ran back to the tree. Then she held out the shovel in her hand, and smiled as she said, “Here.”

Fan Chen raised his brows once more, ultimately accepting it without a word, and began digging the hole that Mi Wan had previously filled while carrying the little Fanyin sapling.

Mi Wan drank her milk tea and raised her head to watch the tree filled with red silk ties, waiting for them to glow once more.

Buzz~~

The moment Fan Chen replaced the Fanyin tree sapling back in the soil, an invisible force trailed through the massive network of branches, lighting up the red silk ties that filled the tree. One of the red silk ties was especially bright. Mi Wan remembered that it was the one that the little girl had insisted on hanging.

Suddenly, a bright spark descended from the tree filled with the glow of faith. It was a silver leaf containing pure blessing powers.

“Big sister, I hope you succeed in losing weight.”

Mi Wan lowered her head and found that Fan Chen was currently still helping the little tree sapling fill up the hole with soil. Silly one, you have not even been properly covered in soil yet, and here you are, giving me your leaf.

“Brother Fan, are you also a Fanyin tree?” On the way home, Mi Wan suddenly asked with an opportunistic stare.

“You were hoping I was?” Fan Chen noticed the “piercing light” in Mi Wan’s gaze.

Mi Wan nodded.

“Why?”

Mi Wan suddenly folded both hands, and faced Fan Chen with a bow, “I wish to be rich!”

“Wishes that involve getting something for nothing will never come true,” Fan Chen chided.
