**Chapter 39: Training in a Warm Valley**

After Xiao Ning's heartfelt declaration, he realized that his words might have been more poetic than practical.

However, seeing the delighted expression on the Little Medical Fairy's face, he decided not to retract them.

They spent the evening talking, and when it got late, Xiao Ning took his leave.

The Little Medical Fairy soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the days following her overdose, the valley had returned to its tranquil routine.

Xiao Ning continued his daily life as usual, treating her with the same respect and normalcy as before, without any sign of alienation.

His consistent support touched the Little Medical Fairy deeply, and she began to open up to him more, discussing nearly everything.

Xiao Ning's sincerity had earned him her complete trust and nearly full affection something he hadn't expected.

"My predecessors have never deceived me,only by giving sincerity can we gain true affection," Xiao Ning reflected.

In the peaceful Misty Valley, days passed slowly. Xiao Ning dedicated himself to rigorous training in the cave, making significant progress in his strength.

His rapid improvement was partly due to his efforts and partly because of the benefits from the Blood Tempered Body.

During this time, he also resumed his fighting spirit practice, which he had neglected.

Despite using the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, he needed more dou qi to fully harness its power.

The Little Medical Fairy, now free from hiding her condition, consumed poison daily to enhance her fighting spirit.

Though painful, her determination to improve and honor her agreement with Xiao Ning drove her to persist.

Her cultivation soared rapidly as a result.

One hot afternoon, Xiao Ning looked at the large bucket of Warcraft blood with excitement.

He stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular physique, and jumped into the blood bath.

The familiar stinging sensation greeted him as he sat cross-legged, absorbing the energy from the animal blood.

"Last time, I surpassed 9,900 kilograms of strength.

Today, I aim to break the 10,000-kilogram barrier!" Xiao Ning thought, filled with anticipation.

As he exerted himself, he felt a faint barrier.

With a determined shout, he broke through it, and all his bones creaked as the energy washed through him. Xiao Ning leaped out of the tub, radiating a powerful aura.

"Ten thousand pounds of divine power!" he exclaimed.

In just half a month, he had increased his strength by two thousand kilograms and reached the Eight-Star Fighter level.

His cultivation had surged by three stars, and the power of thunder had doubled.

"It's time to hunt some monsters again," Xiao Ning decided.

He thought of his cousin Xiao Yan and wondered if he had refined the body tempering fluid.

Dressed and ready to leave the cave, Xiao Ning found a food box outside.

The box, marked with a green grass logo, contained warm food.

Laughing, Xiao Ning said, "This girl really knows my tastes."

He enjoyed the meal, feeling a warm satisfaction. As the sun set, he returned to the hut, where he saw Xiao Yixian entering.

She smiled and asked, "How was the food?"

Xiao Ning handed back the food box with a thumbs-up. "Delicious."

Xiao Yixian laughed and took the box. Leaning against the door, she looked lovely under the moonlight, like a waiting spouse.

Xiao Ning, moved by the sight, leaned closer to her and said, "I'll be leaving the Misty Valley tomorrow."

Xiao Yixian's hands trembled, and she looked at him with concern. He reassured her with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't be long, just like last time."

Relieved, she hesitated before saying softly, "Remember to stay safe on your journey."
