Larry's Adventure: Reborn as a Charming Fox

38. The Treatment with Gold Needles

Translator: Ann Yi.

Murk thought, if he was a cat fairy, he could directly tell Mirrocle what he wanted to eat. Mirrocle was too stupid and Murk had to indicate it both directly and indirectly again and again when he wanted to eat small dried fish.

Also, if he was a cat fairy, when Mirrocle stepped out of line in his territory again, he would scratch him to death! As a cat fairy, he should be much stronger than he was now…

Larry thought about it and decided not to rain on Murk’s parade. ‘Even if you became a cat fairy, your owner is a magician and he knows how to subdue you.’

Mirrocle was surprised at the praise that his senior brother gave Murk, but it wouldn’t be easy for Murk to become a fairy even if he wanted to.

The most important thing right now was to cure Larry’s broken veins and arteries. Mirrocle was a little scared of his senior brother, because Humberto was 18 years older than him and had watched him grow up. He was like a brother and father to Mirrocle. So Mirrocle was both scared of him and respectful to him. Still the two of them were on great terms, otherwise Humberto wouldn’t have dropped everything he was doing in Continent Feijoa and flew all the way here just because Mirrocle asked him to.

Humberto looked up and down at the little fox in Mirrocle’s arms. He saw that the hair on the little fox’s limbs was shaved and that made the fox look a little funny. However, being watched by Humberto like that, Larry didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

Humberto sized Larry up with his pair of big, dark eyes.

“This is the friend you told me about? He looks quite quick-witted. How did he end up being so miserable?”

Mirrocle’s senior brother was too straightforward.

Mirrocle felt Larry’s body stiffen in his arms. He hurriedly rubbed Larry’s head to comfort him, but Larry pushed his hand away unceremoniously.

Larry also wanted to know how he ended up being so miserable!

Frost felt even more embarrassed. Speaking of that, he should be held responsible.

“Senior Brother, his tendons were disconnected and his inner channels were also damaged. I know your gold needles are so powerful. You can definitely cure him.”

Mirrocle had great confidence in his senior brother. After all, all these years, he had never seen his senior brother fail at anything.

He grew up listening to the glorious stories about his senior brother, and he had always admired him.

“Put him down first. I’ll check on it.”

When Humberto touched Larry with his hands, Larry felt a warm current coming from the hands. It reminded him of how he felt when June taught him the techniques of the Evelynn Foxclan, but this time he it was much gentler. June’s power rushed recklessly in his body and that made him feel uncomfortable.

When Larry’s entire body was wrapped in this kind of warm energy and he felt sleepy, he saw Humberto take out a bag which looked like a cosmetic bag.

‘Huh? Why does a magician take a cosmetic bag with him?’

Before Larry asked that question out loud, Humberto had opened the so-called “cosmetic bag”. Larry saw that it was filled with gold needles. In terms of thickness, there were ones as thin as a cow’s hair and there were ones as thick as chopsticks. And in terms of length, there were ones as short as toothpicks, and there were ones as long as forearms.

Even Frost, who was a vet, had never seen so many gold needles before.

“Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! (He won’t use all of these needles on me, right?)” Larry felt a chill running down his spine when he saw those thick and long needles.

However, Humberto had been instilling magic power into Larry’s body. Larry felt so warm and comfortable that he was unwilling to run away.

Larry didn’t get any response from Murk, so he opened his eyes slightly and saw Murk sneaking out of the room.

“Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (Murk, you coward, don’t go away!)”

Larry saw him.

Then just run!

Mirrocle scratched his head awkwardly. He was embarrassed that the cat he raised was such a coward. He smiled embarrassedly and politely, “Perhaps he has to answer the call of nature. Don’t be afraid, Larry. My senior brother is very skilled.”

Even though he was quite worried, Frost stroked Larry, trying to stop him from being nervous. Those needles did look frightening. If Humberto was going to use them all.

Frost almost burst out laughing when he thought of the image of Larry with needles all over him. He would be like a hedgehog.

However, the moment Frost’s hands touched Larry’s fur, he felt like he was pricked by needles, so his hands retracted reflexively.

He looked at Humberto in confusion, “Humberto, can I touch him?”

Perhaps it was because Frost’s hands retracted too fast; Humberto didn’t see that he touched Larry. And he felt glad that Frost did the right thing to ask before he acted.

‘Good, though he extended out his hands, he remembered to ask for my opinion first and he didn’t cause any trouble.’

“I’m giving him my magic power to help ease the pain. It’s not enough to stick the gold needles into his body alone. These needles need to enter his body and reconnect the inner channels. If you don’t want him to be in too much pain, you should not touch him. The magic power will be transmitted to your body, which will not be good for him.” In other words, Humberto’s magic power acted as an anesthetic here.

From what Humberto said, even if the magic power was transmitted to Frost’s body, it would do him no harm. Instead, it would just do Larry no good. Then why did Frost feel the pain when touching Larry’s body?

Frost did not ask this question. He retracted his hands and squatted down to look at Larry. His gentle eyes were full of encouragement, “Come on, little guy, you can do it.”

‘No, I can’t do it unless Dr. Frost kisses and hugs me!’ Larry thought inwardly.

All this time, Larry had always stopped himself from wagging his huge and fluffy tail as he thought it was shameful.

But with Frost looking at him so gently, Larry was overjoyed that he forgot all about that.

Larry wagged his tail and hinted crazily at Frost: Hug me! Kiss me! Raise me high!!

Surprised, Frost looked at the tail, “So there is nothing wrong with the tail.”

He had always thought that Larry’s tail was useless because he was seriously injured. Every time he saw Larry’s drooping tail, he wanted to touch it, but he was also afraid to hurt Larry’s feelings.

When Larry was fully recovered, Frost wanted to experience the happiness of Larry covering his face with his big tail.

Humberto disinfected the gold needles in turn. When Larry was crazily wagging his tail and before he noticed it, Humberto had already inserted a few of the needles into his body.

Frost was afraid that Larry’s tail would stand in the way of the operation, so he took a step back and pressed his index finger against his lips. “Shhh~”

Only then did Larry stop wagging his tail. He despised himself. ‘Gosh, Larry, you’re so shameless!’

‘Frost just stroked on your body! What’s the big deal of that?’

‘Why did I wag my tail in front of so many people?’

‘I’m screwed! I would no longer be the cool fox fairy!!!’

Had Murk been around, he would’ve criticized on that.

It would be something like ‘The cool fox fairy? Seriously? You think you’re cool? In your dreams.’

Humberto was fast. When Larry finished despising himself, he realized that his body was covered with gold needles.

“Ack!”

Humberto wore a smile on his face, which was rare, “The little guy is quite slow. He is nothing like a fox fairy.”

Pfft!

Larry felt like he had been hit by another blow. ‘It was good that he said that I was nothing like a fox fairy. I can choose to ignore the sentence before that.’

“Are you ready?”“

‘Huh? Ready for what?’

Before Larry asked the question, a sharp pain came from his limbs and bones.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
