Because of Fat Tiger's provocation, Xiaohei immediately gave him a small lesson.
A sudden whirlwind swept up Fat Tiger's whole body, twisting his clothes and hairstyle into something like a tangled dough twist.
"Xiaohei! Tone it down a little."
Lin Feng hadn't expected this little black whirlwind to be so proud and quick-tempered.
Fat Tiger only said it looked like a lump of charcoal, and it went ahead and twisted him into a pretzel with wind…
Hearing Lin Feng's scolding, Xiaohei glanced at Fat Tiger with clear disdain, then floated to a spot not far from Lin Feng.
"You bastard… how dare you do that to me… I'm gonna beat you up good…!"
After finally reacting, Fat Tiger's embarrassment turned into anger. He swung his fists and tried to charge at Xiaohei for a one-on-one fight.
"Don't be impulsive, Fat Tiger. Calm down. You're just asking to embarrass yourself again…"
Suneo knew very well how powerful this miniature typhoon was, so he quickly wrapped his arms around Fat Tiger to hold him back.
"What? Suneo, you jerk, don't tell me you don't believe in me…?"
"All right, you two stop messing around. Did you already forget what Lin Feng said just now? We're facing a crisis where Earth might be destroyed."
Shizuka, holding Fuko gently in her arms, frowned a little as she lectured the two troublemakers.
At crucial moments, Shizuka always knew how to prioritize. And for some reason, she had a deep, instinctive trust in Lin Feng.
"Shizuka's right. If what Lin Feng said earlier is true, then we really have to hurry and locate the last Ma-Feng-Ka Pearl fragment."
"Otherwise, if the people of the Lan Clan find it first and summon the Wind Monster Ma-Feng-Ka, Earth will be finished!"
Doraemon finally realized how severe the situation was, and his thoughts became much clearer.
"Let's go back, Doraemon. Back to the place from yesterday. We might find some clues there."
Nobita stood up at this moment, his eyes firm as he looked toward Doraemon.
"Nobita's right. Since this whole mess started because of us, we have to be the ones to solve it."
Fat Tiger also temporarily gave up on teaching that "black coalball" a lesson. He stood up with high spirits and flashed a confident grin.
"Eh…? We have to go back there… again…?"
"Can't I… maybe… not go…?"
Just thinking about how he was possessed by that evil guy yesterday sent chills all over Suneo's body.
If they went back and that thing targeted him again… wouldn't that be awful?
Fat Tiger had brute strength, Doraemon had magical gadgets, Shizuka had a sharp mind.
And he, Suneo—what did he have?
Aside from being richer than everyone else and occasionally showing a bit of slyness, Suneo was basically useless.
If Nobita weren't even more hopeless than him, Suneo would definitely be the weakest of the group.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Suneo? Are you a man or not? How can you say something so pathetic?"
Having heard Suneo's timid mumbling, Fat Tiger immediately marched over, grabbed him by the neck, and scolded him like he hated iron for not turning into steel.
"But even if you put it that way…"
Suneo still couldn't shake his fear, even with Fat Tiger threatening him.
"Don't worry, Suneo. That Ulanda guy was badly injured yesterday and ran away terrified. He shouldn't cause you any trouble for a while."
Seeing Suneo so hesitant, Lin Feng smiled and comforted him.
In truth, after the battle yesterday, Ulanda definitely wouldn't choose to possess a weakling like Suneo again.
Spending all that effort to forcibly take over a flimsy body only weakened him instead.
If Ulanda had known from the start that Fuko was with Lin Feng—and that this human boy was that difficult to deal with—he would never have charged in alone, full of confidence, to challenge Lin Feng.
At the very least, he would've made some plans and only acted when he had absolute certainty.
But now? He'd failed and lost everything.
Not only did he fail to take back Fuko, he even delivered a Ma-Feng-Ka Pearl fragment right to Lin Feng's hands.
"Since everyone's ready, let's set out."
Seeing that no one had any more objections, Doraemon reached into his four-dimensional pocket to take out the Anywhere Door. They would head to the Wind Village they had visited yesterday.
"Wait, Doraemon!"
Just as Doraemon was about to pull out the Anywhere Door, Shizuka suddenly called out.
"What is it, Shizuka?"
"Is there something else…?"
Doraemon paused, confused, while everyone else also turned their eyes toward her.
Given how tense they all were after learning the truth about everything, even the slightest abnormality drew their attention.
"Xiaohei still needs a body, right? This doll should work perfectly for him."
Shizuka picked up a doll from the shelf beside her desk and smiled.
If the doll she had given Fuko earlier was a beautiful princess, then the doll she took out now for Xiaohei was the handsome prince counterpart.
These dolls were Shizuka's cherished collection.
Now that she had the chance to let them "come to life" in a different way, she was genuinely happy.
However, the proud Xiaohei clearly looked down on using a cloth doll as a physical vessel.
It merely glanced at the doll indifferently, not at all eager to try it out like Fuko had.
"Xiaohei, since Shizuka prepared this for you, go give it a try. I think it suits you quite well."
Seeing Xiaohei act so haughty, Lin Feng chuckled and spoke to it.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiaohei shot him an unhappy glare, but since Lin Feng said nothing else, it could only obediently float toward the doll and slip into it.
A moment later, the handsome prince-like doll lifted into the air on its own—floating proudly in front of everyone.
