Chapter 47: Chapter 47: My Head Hurts So Much

After reverting to her true form, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy began to struggle violently again, crying out noisily as her slender arms pushed hard against Pei Ze’s palm.

However, besides their Illusion Technique, Ten Thousand Flowers Fairies were also known for their frail physical constitution.

Even a one or two-year-old human toddler could easily overpower a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy.

From the moment she fell into Pei Ze’s palm, escape was impossible.

’The rumors about the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s high Magic resistance seem to be true. She dispelled the improved Touch of Fatigue in an instant.’

Surprise flashed in Pei Ze’s eyes.

If he hadn’t acted preemptively to grab the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy, her flight speed and Magic resistance would have made her difficult to capture, even with Wuyu’s help.

If it was that difficult for him, it would be even more so for an ordinary Wizard Apprentice.

’These 5,000 points really aren’t easy to earn!’

’Catching the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy this time was purely a matter of coincidence and incredible luck.’

His mind raced, but Pei Ze’s actions didn’t stop. He cast another Sleep Spell.

With a flash of green light, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy instantly dispelled the Magic’s effect.

Pei Ze wasn’t discouraged. He cast the Sleep Spell again and again.

Gradually, the green light flaring from the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s body grew dimmer and dimmer.

By the time he cast the seventh Sleep Spell, the green light no longer flared from the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s body. Her eyelids grew heavy, fluttering half-open, until she could no longer fight the drowsiness. She closed her eyes, fell asleep, and her body went limp.

Joy flashed in Pei Ze’s eyes. He quickly took a hemp rope as thick as a finger from his dimensional bag, wrapped it a few times around the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s slender waist, and tied it tight. He fastened the other end to his own wrist.

With the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s negligible strength, it was impossible for her to break free from the hemp rope. This way, he didn’t have to worry about her escaping.

Jiang Weifang had watched the entire scene from the side, dumbfounded. Only when Pei Ze stopped did she ask in astonishment, "Pei Ze, how did you know that Madness-Inducing Flower was a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy in disguise?"

Pei Ze glanced at her and said with a grin, "Intuition."

Jiang Weifang froze for a moment, then pursed her lips.

’She didn’t believe that for a second.’

From the decisiveness of Pei Ze’s actions just now, it was clear he had been completely certain that the Madness-Inducing Flower was the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy.

But despite her doubts, Jiang Weifang didn’t press the issue.

Everyone has their secrets. Prying into them is a major taboo.

Jiang Weifang looked at the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy, a flash of envy in her eyes.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Honey produced by a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy was an extremely rare and wondrous item for a Wizard Apprentice.

On the market, 100 milliliters of Ten Thousand Flowers Honey was worth at least one Magic Stone Coin, and the key thing was that it was rarely available for purchase.

Obtaining a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy was like getting a small gold mine that could endlessly produce Gold Coins.

In addition, like most fairies, a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy could also form a blood contract with a Wizard and become their capable assistant.

It could help with experiments on a daily basis and use its Illusion Technique to assist in battle—a multipurpose companion.

’People would fight to buy a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy for several hundred Magic Stone Coins. Pei Ze really struck it rich this time!’

Jiang Weifang was secretly envious, but she couldn’t bring herself to be jealous.

After all, how many people could see through a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s Illusion Technique at a glance like Pei Ze?

With the Ten Thousand Flowers Honey he had been longing for now within reach, and having also obtained an incredibly rare Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy, Pei Ze was in an exceptionally good mood.

From now on, besides potions, he had another channel for making money.

He made an immediate decision: as soon as the trial was over, he would sign a blood contract with the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy.

The sleeping Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy was completely unaware that her fate had already been decided.

More than ten minutes later, she slowly began to wake up.

Blinking her eyes open groggily, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy was dazed for several seconds before she suddenly realized her situation. With a shriek, she flapped her wings and shot toward the sky, but she was yanked back by the rope on her body after flying only two meters and fell on her butt.

She scrunched up her little face, rubbed her backside, and looked back, right into a pair of enormous eyes.

She immediately recognized the Great Demon King who had captured her. She shrieked again and flew up, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, the result was the same. She couldn’t get far before the rope pulled her back again.

After several failed escape attempts, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy finally fell into despair. Her little face pale, she collapsed onto the ground and began to sob quietly.

Seeing the porcelain doll-like Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy with tears streaming down her face, Jiang Weifang showed an expression of pity. She took a few steps forward and crouched down, wanting to comfort the poor little thing.

But as soon as she got close, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy suddenly flicked her hand, flinging a clump of dirt with perfect accuracy into Jiang Weifang’s eyes.

A sneak attack!

"Ah!"

Jiang Weifang cried out and fell backward onto the ground, clutching her eyes as tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Hee hee!"

The Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s pitiful demeanor vanished. She mimed clutching her stomach in laughter and repeatedly made faces at Jiang Weifang.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Fairies are mischievous by nature. Their favorite thing is to play pranks on others. Don’t be fooled by her act."

Pei Ze held back a laugh and handed a flask of clean water to Jiang Weifang so she could wash out her eyes.

Jiang Weifang was beyond frustrated. Who would have thought that a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy would still be thinking about pranking someone in a situation like this?

While the girl cleaned the dirt from her eyes, Pei Ze turned around and flicked a finger, sending the gloating Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy stumbling.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy was furious. Screeching, she charged at the Great Demon King, only to be sent flying again by a single flick of his finger.

Realizing the difference in strength between herself and the Great Demon King, she finally accepted reality and stopped struggling. She sat on the ground with her arms crossed, puffing out her cheeks and sulking.

Pei Ze ignored her, walked to the side, and sat down. He took out the Madness-Inducing Flower he had just picked and began to process it.

’A dimensional bag, the lowest grade of Spatial Items, doesn’t have the effect of stopping time. Picked materials have to be processed as quickly as possible.’

After cleaning the sand from her eyes, Jiang Weifang, her eyes red, shot an angry glare at the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy and turned to leave the campsite.

Out of sight, out of mind.

In a flash, the campsite fell silent.

Seeing that the Great Demon King was ignoring her, the Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy’s eyes darted around, and the thought of escape sparked in her mind again.

She tried to untie the rope on her body, but it was tied in a dead knot. She struggled with it for a long time without success, ending up covered in sweat from the effort.

When that plan failed, she started tearing at the rope, biting it with her mouth and ripping it with her hands. But she was small and weak, and her long efforts yielded no results.

Finally, she sat where she was, panting and thoroughly dejected.

Just then, she felt something strange behind her. She looked back and saw a jet-black crow staring at her.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy jumped in fright, but she quickly recognized it as the pet that followed the Great Demon King.

She squinted at it for a moment, secretly assessing the size difference between them. Then, she immediately became cocky again.

’I can’t beat the Great Demon King, but I can’t beat a mere pet like you?’

She snorted lightly. Her form suddenly twisted and changed, and in an instant, she transformed into a goshawk. Raising her talons, she charged menacingly at Wuyu.

Wuyu watched her quietly. Only when the goshawk drew near did it suddenly raise its wings and slap the goshawk’s head with one of them.

SMACK!

The goshawk fell directly to the ground, reverting to its true form.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy clutched her head with both hands, her little mouth turned down, and she burst into tears.

This time, she was really crying.

’It’s one thing not to be able to beat the Great Demon King, but I can’t even beat his pet! It’s so infuriating!’

’Sob... My head hurts!’
