Chapter 2288: The Adorable King (2)
As Xiu said, the Dwarf King was not as young as he seemed. He was even older than Mumu Fan.
But half a year ago, somehow, the king suddenly showed signs of rejuvenation. His age went backwards
step by step and his appearance changed accordingly.
From an old man to a mature and steady middle-aged dwarf, to a vibrant young man, and then to a
slightly youthful teenager, until now he had gradually degenerated into a boy equivalent to a dwarf of
about thirteen years old.
This step-by-step age regression lasted for a whole half a year. Every time the king woke up, he would
become younger.
At rst, the king and Mumu Fan did not care about this phenomenon; after all, being young again was a
good thing. It indicated that the king could have more experience and a younger physique, to better
manage the Storm Continent.
But as this regression became more and more serious, they could no longer be optimistic with the situation.
The king in middle age was still rejoicing at the recovery of his energy, the king in his youth was still
jubilant about the complete success of his vitality, but when he regressed to adolescence, a trace of
tension followed. Then, as he gradually retrogressed towards a younger situation, the king was completely
alarmed.
Youth was a good thing, but if it continued at this rate, in less than a few months, he feared that he would
become a baby in swaddling clothes, and then…
He would disappear completely and return to the original form of life.
This was a chronic death that started from joy and ended with fear.
For this reason, the king summoned Mumu Fan and told him his troubles. Mumu Fan judged that their
king must have been poisoned by some kind of ferocious poison in order to have such a reverse growth.
To stop the situation from continuing, Mumu Fan and Mimi Si started working on new potions day and
night in an attempt to reverse the situation.
But the results were minimal.
Fortunately, the sudden arrival of Tang Nazhi gave Mumu Fan a chance to catch his breath. The potions
that Tang Nazhi brought with him were personally prepared by Shen Yanxiao, with high-level potions
being the lowest grade, and there were also a lot of master-level potions. Tang Nazhi generously gave
Mumu Fan a few bottles; most of them were healing potions, which slowed down the king’s regression,
but still, they didn’t stop it.
Shen Yanxiao listened quietly. It was the rst time she had seen the Dwarf King.
Age regression? And it was still continuing?
“Xiu, you said just now that there’s some force in his body causing him to change into this, could it be
Satan?” Shen Yanxiao asked Xiu through their spiritual connection.
‘No, I don’t catch the smell of Satan in him.’ Xiu denied Shen Yanxiao’s guess.
Shen Yanxiao frowned. She looked aside at Mumu Fan and said, “Master Mumu Fan, may I examine the
king’s body?”
“All right.” Mumu Fan nodded his head.
“May I also ask Master Mumu Fan to leave for a moment? The method of examination handed over to me
by my master was my master’s only secret method, which is not suitable for others to see. If Master
Mumu Fan is not at ease, you can stand outside the door and wait, and if you hear anything, you can rush
in immediately.” Shen Yanxiao said.
“This…” Mumu Fan hesitated a little.
“Master, just go out rst. I’m sure Huohuo Xiao won’t harm me.” The king smiled and spoke, dispelling
Mumu Fan’s concerns.
