Chapter 1820: The Magical Matches, the Little Girl's Joy (First Update, Request Subscription)

The National Destiny contestant: "Dao Jun, you have such great fortune."

Su Xiao: "Of course, they're all practically becoming Dao Jun's harem."

The National Destiny contestant: "Eh? But I'm a guy! 【Fearful】"

Lin Fengjiao: "Saying that as if no one else is. Don't be afraid—Su Xiao was just joking."

Hu Yifei: "Exactly."

The National Destiny first-mover: "By the way, Sister Yifei, you're not also Dao Jun's woman, are you?"

Hu Yifei: "Yes, so what?"

The National Destiny contestant: "Dao Jun is too awesome. By the way, Dao Jun, I want to join the National Destiny battle—what should I do?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's simple. 【Screenshot】 Five matches have been added to the Shangcheng. Didn't you just sign in for five points? Buy them—when you face ghosts or demons in the next round, you can slaughter them at will!"

The National Destiny contestant: "Buy matches?"

Su Xiao: "I didn't expect these matches aren't ordinary items?"

The National Destiny contestant: "【Screenshot】 Fairy Tale Matches, awesome."

Fairy Tale Matches

Origin: Fairy Tale World

True Name: Match of Manifested Will and Spirit

Effect: When lit, the match manifests whatever is in your heart. (If encountering demons, imagine many Daoists skilled in subduing demons—they will appear in the flame and slay the evil spirits.)

Ye Hei: "?? So in fairy tales, the little girl seeing her grandmother wasn't just a simple hallucination?"

The little girl: "The matches are powerful, but unfortunately they can't be eaten."

Illusions are still illusions; even if they can deceive you for a moment, they cannot deceive you forever.

Su Xiao: "Now that you're selling matches for points, you can exchange them for gold and buy bread."

Xiao Mai: "No, I should go over myself? She's so young—if she suddenly gains a lot of gold, it'll be extremely dangerous. But... is it dangerous over there?"

Su Xiao: "【Pfft】 I'm dying laughing, Xiao Mai—you're already a Pre-Saint, and you're afraid of a fairy tale world?"

Terashima Kokomi: "Fairy tale worlds, comedy worlds—their combat power might be terrifying. Better to be careful."

Ye Hei: "True. Don't judge combat power by comedy worlds."

The little girl: "I'm perfectly safe here!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Don't worry—Alice's world is just an ordinary fairy tale world. Though it has some magical items, its upper limit is below the Five Elements Realm. As a Pre-Saint, you can go there with complete confidence."

Xiao Mai: "Then I'm reassured. Alice, open the door—I'm coming to protect you."

Alice: "Huh? Big brother, you know my name even across worlds?"

Su Xiao: "Of course—even across worlds, Big Brother can still spank your butt."

Luo Wei, the National Destiny contestant: "No way? Is the Heavenly Dao Realm really that terrifying?"

Su Xiao: "Ordinary Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators aren't this terrifying. But Dao Jun cultivated by brute force—he's probably already fully understood the situation in your world."

Luo Wei: "No wonder Dao Jun said the next National Destiny battle involves ghosts and demons!! I'll buy the matches then—heehee. With these matches, I'll imagine Master Jiu, and then all ghosts and demons will be crushed!"

Lin Fengjiao: "..."

Luo Wei: "The Saintly Teacher of Ten Thousand Worlds—no exaggeration."

Su Xiao: "I remember Nüwa and Houtu both manifested in livestreams. Imagine Nüwa and Houtu—that'd be even more powerful."

Luo Wei: "Can ordinary magic matches really manifest Nüwa? Don't fool me!"

Nüwa: "That won't work."

Luo Wei: "... Almost got screwed by a fellow townsman, Su Xiao!!! You really are a fellow townsman meeting a fellow townsman—stabbing two knives in the back."

Xiao Mai: "I'm dying laughing—you don't know Su Xiao's reputation? She's the Living Hell King of this group. Anyone who believes her gets lucky if they keep a whole corpse."

Ye Hei: "【Thumbs up】"

Han Paopao: "【Thumbs up】"

Xiao Yan: "So, new members, use your brains."

Su Xiao: "Dumplings? Where are the dumplings?"

Luo Wei: "Terrifying—this isn't even the first time?! 【Sweating】"

Kirishima Erina: "By the way, why go through so much trouble to eat delicious food? 【Alice-exclusive red packet】"

Liu Maoxing: "【Red packet】 I'm sending everyone a food red packet. Luo Wei, keep it up."

Luo Wei: "Even Little Master is here?"

Su Xiao: "He's not Little Master anymore—he's Old Master. The Liu Maoxing you know joined the chat group long ago and became a Pre-Saint. In a while, he'll be ready to attain the Primordial Dao."

Luo Wei: "??? Did I come too late?"

【Ding, Luo Wei claimed the red packet.】

【Ding, Alice claimed the red packet.】

Magic World.

Xiao Mai led Alice into a bakery, bought many soft white loaves of bread, stored them in her storage ring, then brought the little girl back to her home.

As for black bread—that stuff, when cold, can be used as a weapon. With money, who buys that?

What they called a home was merely a leaky, wind-pierced shack.

"Is this it?"

"Mm." Alice nodded. "This is my home."

Xiao Mai looked at the little girl with pity—her face was dirty, her cheeks red from cold, yet her eyes shone brightly, giving her an extremely fragile and adorable appearance.

"You won't have to live here anymore." Xiao Mai thought, then bought a Pocket World from the Shangcheng and handed it to Alice. "From now on, Alice will live inside the Pocket World."

"Pocket World?!"

"That's a lot of points; Alice can't pay it back."

Although she hadn't counted carefully, just seeing that long string of zeros made Alice feel that even if she worked hard to craft magic matches, she couldn't repay those points in a short time.

"It's fine." Xiaomai shook her head. "Alice can pay back whenever she wants. Right now, Sister Xiaomai will teach you how to use the Cave Heaven."

A single Cave Heaven—to Xiaomai, it was utterly insignificant.

In fact, not to mention buying it, she could even forge one herself.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaomai!"

Alice's eyes instantly brightened with excitement; no matter how well-behaved she was, she was still just a child—how could she suppress her true feelings?

Under Xiaomai's guidance, Alice quickly made the Cave Heaven her Life-Spirit Treasure, allowing her to enter and exit at will without needing magic power.

Entering the Cave Heaven, it was warm as spring; the snow and cold outside could no longer penetrate.

Alice gazed at her Cave Heaven, overjoyed.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaomai—this place is wonderful!"

As she spoke, someone in the chat group sent a red envelope.

Alice's eyes lit up. "Sister Xiaomai, is that red thing for me?"

Xiaomai nodded. "Yes. Whenever someone sends a red envelope, you can tap it. If you grab it, it's yours."

Alice nodded and carefully tapped it; then, several dishes appeared in midair and settled gently onto the empty ground.

"Wow, the food is glowing!"

"Sister Xiaomai, this food is so magical!"
