Chapter 2075: A Reason Behind Every Change
Chapter 2075: A Reason Behind Every Change
Davis’s brows furrowed as he heard Myria’s words. Why would she mean it like that, and why would Ellia say that it was insensitive?
He couldn’t understand.
But before he could ask anything, Shirley raised her hand and waved.
“Tina, Dalila! You’re here, so how’s Eterna doing right now?”
Tina and Dalila walked along the pathway before they encountered Davis, Shirley, and Myria. They slightly focused on Myria before they smiled at Shirley.
“She’s deep asleep.”
Tina arrived in front of them and spoke, placing her palms on her cheeks, “She’s so unbelievably cute. Can I have her instead?”
“No way. She’s my baby!”
Shirley declared with a proud expression on her face, causing Tina and Dalila to laugh along with her.
“I heard that you’re going to help Clara regain the inheritance rights. Good luck with that!~”
“In the meantime, leave it to us to entertain Eterna.”
Tina and Dalila giggled, causing Shirley to smile widely. The more her sisters accepted and liked Eterna, the more she felt proud. She was about to thank her when a confused voice echoed.
“Clara lost her inheritance rights? You mean to the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance?”
Myria seemingly asked no one as she muttered, causing the others to look at her, but since she didn’t say or ask anything, they didn’t bother anymore.
Davis walked towards the two ladies and caressed both of them, patting their heads.
“Tina, you’ve been working hard these days. You too, Dalila. How are you two faring?”
“Look, we’re in perfect shape.”
Tina giggled as she spun around, displaying her wondrous curves, while Dalila remained shy for a few moments before she also spun around, causing Davis to drop his mouth before he couldn’t help but laugh at their antics. They all knew that he meant about their studies and health but decided to tease him instead.
The archives of alchemy knowledge from the Thousand Pill Palace and the Glorious Pill Palace have long since arrived, causing Tina and Dalila to become immersed in them. Even now, he could see that their eyes were sunken a bit, making him feel a bit anxious over their overuse of soul prowess to learn faster. The exhaustion they have incurred should’ve been enough for them to sleep a day or two straight.
On the one hand, he didn’t want them to suffer, but he had already told them to help him with alchemy, which meant that his words were the one that was pushing them this far and, perhaps, their own wills. Hardening his heart, he was about to admonish them not to overdo it when he suddenly remembered.
“Oh, that’s right. I’ve wanted to clarify your situation and now’s a perfect time. Myria, could you please diagnose Tina’s strange soul metamorphosis? I think it’s still in a state of transformation.”
Davis glanced at Myria, gesturing towards Tina as he requested her help.
Myria narrowed her eyes, looking at him with exasperation. However, because he signed that promissory note of debt, she didn’t say anything and turned to look towards Tina, sizing her up. The moment her soul sense pushed through her natural defenses like they were air, Tina shuddered.
“Tina, don’t resist…”
Davis spoke softly as he held her hand, causing Tina to grit her teeth and nod as she closed her eyes.
Myria didn’t bother about their intimacy, and neither about his soul sense that kept an eye on her before she ventured deep into Tina’s soul sea, quickly finding her soul essence.
“This is…”
Myria’s eyes narrowed as she witnessed a multi-colored soul essence, causing her to voice out her astonishment. She gave Tina a good look again before she couldn’t help but giggle, bringing out her soul sense before opening her sweet lips.
“She’s going to die.”
“What…!?”
Davis uttered as his complexion changed. He knew that his women’s lifespans were long, but because they were with him, they were also subject to the whims of his actions, both unwittingly and intentionally, so he didn’t rely much on the lifespan after learning more about it, and now, Myria was saying that Tina was going to die?
What was going on?
Tina blinked, looking utterly confused. Could it be that her soul was on the path of destruction, as Davis once joked about, saying that her soul’s transformation could end badly? Or was this Myria just playing a cruel prank on her? After all, she was laughing about it.
Shirley and Dalila also reached a similar conclusion, but Davis didn’t think way because Myria certainly wasn’t the type to be joking about.
He became genuinely concerned and asked, “How could this happen? How much time has she left? Why is her soul in this strange state of being able to control Fire Laws, Earth Laws, and Metal Laws?”
“So many questions. Sigh, I’ll let Ellia deal with this since she’s more or less versed to deal with this matter.”
Myria shook her head before her eyes brightened, a smile lighting up her face.
“Prince Davis. Don’t worry. Although Tina Roxley’s matter is serious, her life and death isn’t a problem with our usage of Life Laws.”
Ellia assuredly waved her hand, causing Davis to relax somewhat.
“However, using Life Laws will only mitigate the symptoms and not cure the problem itself, but we don’t need to deal with the root of the problem but straighten it up so that her soul would return on track to conjure a unique physique.”
“What!? A unique physique!?”
Instead of shock, happiness was prevalent on Tina’s face, causing Ellia to giggle.
“Indeed, I know just the pill to make you survive this ordeal and complete the physique since Myria and I managed to decipher what is occurring to you.”
“What is occurring to me…?” Tina worriedly asked while Davis and Shirley listened, becoming all ears.
“In short, you have the Smelting Three Elements Soul Physique, but that’s incomplete, probably on the verge of collapsing that you will find yourself dead in ten to twenty years.”
Davis and the others became astonished. Smelting Three Elements Soul Physique?
“Ellia, are you sure? Tina only recently acquired this physique for some unknown reason I couldn’t understand-”
“How can that be?” Ellia smilingly shook her head, “Everything that happens, happens for a reason. Whether it is good or bad doesn’t matter. Think carefully. There should’ve been something that is undoubtedly the reason for this change.”
“Well, she did have this sickness called the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment after I almost died.”
“Oh, I see…”
Ellia’s eyes flashed as she looked at Tina in a new light while the latter became shy and embarrassed. The former was astonished about her devotion to Davis. Moreover, they possessed similar scintillating white hair, which managed to garner her goodwill a bit before she continued.
“I know about the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment and its wondrous side-effect to bring calamity or fortune back. Right now, it is unknown if it is a fortune or calamity because the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment only causes the victim to enter a state where they seclude themselves within their deepest shelter in the realm of the soul, not wanting to face reality but during that time, anything that had previously affected them and became hidden injuries would’ve encroached on their body and soul, especially hidden injuries to their soul.”
“Hidden injuries?” Tina looked confused before she slightly shook her head, “I don’t think I had any at that time.”
Ellia almost scoffed but didn’t overreact.
“Hidden injures are named hidden because you can’t find them that easily. There’s always something that’s hidden, waiting to erupt at the time when you’re at your weakest. In the same way, when you were at your weakest, you should’ve been affected by something. It would not be serious, and you wouldn’t have even noticed as it would’ve blended in your soul sea.”
“Tina Roxley.” Ellia’s tone became serious, but she still could not exude the terrifying aura Myria unleashes that she looked somewhat cute instead, “Think carefully if you had come into contact with these three elements of Fire, Earth, and Metal somewhere in the past decade or so.”
Tina pursed her lips, contemplating a lot before her lips moved.
“Well, I do concoct fire, earth, and metal attributed pills, so-“
*Paah!~*
Davis suddenly slapped his hands, looking like he had found the answer, “Tina, it’s that…!”
“Huh? What…? What is it!?” She looked shocked and excited simultaneously, wondering what he had found.
“It’s that Killing Formation!” Davis smirked, “You slept on that Lesser Five Elements Killing Formation Bed for a few years because you were wary about that bastard Mystic Diviner. You even used that to try and kill me when I was in disguise, remember?”
“Ah…! That…! That’s right!”
Tina jumped as she had her hands on her head, finally remembering that ordeal.
She then ended up explaining how she bought this Peak-Level King Grade Killing Formation constructed in the bed to defend her chastity and slept on it for years. She was assured that the product wasn’t dangerous, but it looks like even the sellers didn’t know of the hidden injuries that it could create as five elements were originally meant to nourish the body and soul, not harm it.
“Lesser Five Elements Killing Formation?” A hint of mockery could be seen in Ellia’s eyes and even heard in her voice.
“Which idiot scammed you?” She uttered with disdain, “Just because adding the five elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood wouldn’t make it the Lesser Five Elements Killing Formation. Even using that name was blasphemy as I bet it was not even a combination of these five attributes- Well, whatever. I went astray, but with this, it is clear why Tina Roxley has suddenly ended up with the Incomplete Smelting Three Elements Soul Physique. With us accompanying her, this transformation is nothing but a fortune in disguise from the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment.”
Ellia grinned, causing Davis and Tina to radiate a vigorous light from their eyes.
