Chapter 837 The Awakening of the Holy Virgin
Chapter 837 The Awakening of the Holy Virgin
The woman lying on the bed was none other than the reporter for the Eye of the Earth, Kathryn. He didn't expect her to have such an identity.
But at this moment, Kathryn looked extremely strange. Her skin had become as smooth as jade. It was crystal clear, and even the normally-hidden blood vessels under her skin could be seen.
At the same time, a strong light holy power enveloped her whole body, slowly changing her constitution. This should be the performance of the Holy Virgin's awakening.
Alice said, "Doctor Qin, have a look. The patient's condition is very strange."
Qin Haodong went over to the bed and reached out to grab Kathryn's arm. A cold feeling came from his fingertips, as if he was really holding a beautiful statue made of jade.
He put his fingers on her pulse and found that the beat was still normal.
He felt her pulse for a long time. And as time went by, he slowly frowned and took back his hand after five minutes.
Judging from the pulse, he found that Kathryn's symptoms were as if she had been infected with the zombie virus. But the problem was, at that time, the zombie virus developed by Dr. Ginns was directed at one's genes and was no threat to white people. How could it suddenly break out?
Alice said, "Doctor Qin, look at her body again."
As she spoke, she gently pulled off the blanket covering Kathryn's body, revealing the top part of her chest.
Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. He saw that the awakening of the Holy Virgin from top to bottom was stopped at her chest. There was a black line, as if it was blocking this change. The two sides of her body were fighting silently.
He scanned it again with his Spirit and found that the black line was indeed the zombie virus.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand what was going on.
Although white people didn't fall ill in the past, it wasn't because that they weren't infected with the virus, but the virus had always been hidden within her body.
Originally, everything was fine. If she were an ordinary person, she would never have had an attack. But unfortunately, she was the Holy Virgin of the Divine Court. This time, the Holy Virgin's awakening somehow triggered the virus.
Alice asked nervously, "Doctor Qin, what do you think? Can you cure her or find the cause?"
This morning, she had mobilized all the experts of the World Medical Association for consultation, but no one could come up with a practicable treatment plan. Even the cause of the disease had not been found. Now Qin Haodong was her last hope.
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "I already know what's going on. The treatment is not too difficult."
"Great! Qin, you are really amazing!"
She was so happy that she almost jumped up. If it weren't for the fact that this was a bedroom, she would definitely have cheered loudly.
Alex had been watching from the side. After hearing Qin Haodong's words, she said, "Doctor Qin, will your treatment affect the awakening of the Holy Virgin?"
As the Pontifex Maximus of the Divine Court, she cared more about the identity of the Holy Virgin. If Qin Haodong's treatment affected the awakening of the Holy Virgin, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Qin Haodong said, "Her current condition is caused by the awakening of the Holy Virgin. If she doesn’t get rid of the virus as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the awakening will give up halfway, so we must take the time to treat her."
Hearing this, Alex also said nervously, "Doctor Qin, hurry up. Please."
After confirming the cause of the disease, the treatment became much simpler. Qin Haodong took out the remaining Blood Cleansing Pill and gave it to Kathryn. After thinking for a while, he took out another Clean Pill and put it in her mouth.
As the saying goes, when the medicine takes effect, the symptoms lessen. As time went by, the black line on Kathryn's chest faded away and finally disappeared.
The Clean Pill also removed the last bit of impurities in her body and cleared all the obstacles for the Holy Virgin's awakening.
Half an hour later, Kathryn slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Qin Haodong in front of her, her big eyes flashed with surprise. "Qin, am I dreaming? How could I be seeing you?"
Qin Haodong said, "It's not a dream. You just got sick. I'm here to treat you."
"Thank you for saving me again."
There was a trace of gratitude in her eyes when thinking that Qin Haodong had saved her twice before.
"Doctor Alice, Pontifex Maximus Alex, I want to talk to Doctor Qin alone."
Seeing that the Holy Virgin was safe and sound, Alex nodded and led Alice out of the room.
Kathryn looked at Qin Haodong and said, "Qin, what happened to me just now?"
Qin Haodong told her about the effect of her zombie virus, then finally said, "Don't worry. The virus has been completely removed. You'll be all right in the future."
"Thank you." After thanking him again, she said, "Were you scared when you saw my current appearance?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. You're still so beautiful." Qin Haodong smiled at her and asked, "Aren't you a reporter of the Eye of the Earth? How did you become the daughter of Duke Andrea? And now you've even become the Holy Virgin of the Divine Court."
"Can't a Duke's daughter be a reporter?" It was hard for her expression to change, and a smile flashed across her eyes. "In fact, when I was a child, the Divine Court told me that I had the constitution of the Holy Virgin and that I'd wake up once I was 20 years old.
"And being a reporter was my lifelong dream, so before I turned 20, I became a reporter of the Eye of the Earth. I traveled around the world and collected the information I wanted. Now I have fulfilled my wish and can feel at ease to wake up."
Qin Haodong asked, "Since you knew that you would awaken as the Holy Virgin, why didn't you go to the Holy City earlier? In that way, you would be safer."
Kathryn said, "The awakening of the Holy Virgin is random. No one knows when it will begin. I can't be held in the city like a prisoner.
"Besides, once I wake up, I can't move at will because the holy power is in this area. Once I leave, the awakening will stop, so I can only go to the Holy City after I complete the awakening in the mansion."
Qin Haodong asked curiously, "You can't always be like this after your body has awakened?"
Kathryn said, "Of course not. After awakening, I'll gain the approval of the Divine Court's divine artifact, the Angel's Heart. By then, I'll return to normal human form."
"Oh!" Qin Haodong nodded. "How long will it take for your awakening?"
Kathryn said, "According to the records of the Divine Court, generally speaking, it will take three days. But because of the specific circumstances, it may be a little longer or a little shorter. There is no specific time."
After chatting for a while, Qin Haodong said, "Rest now. I'll leave you in peace."
After that, he was about to leave. But then, Kathryn said again, "Qin, thank you."
Qin Haodong said, "We're friends. You don't have to be so polite."
Kathryn bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qin, the Holy Virgin of the Divine Court can also have a boyfriend."
"Oh! I wish you happiness!"
After saying that, Qin Haodong left the room. Looking at his back, Kathryn had a complicated look on her face.
In fact, she had very much resisted becoming the Holy Virgin before. It was also for this reason that she ran out to be a reporter.
But since she met Qin Haodong, the image of this Huaxia person flashed through her mind from time to time. She knew that she had fallen in love with this handsome young man.
However, she also knew that Qin Haodong was excellent. The identity of a Duke's daughter was not good enough, so she decided to become the Holy Virgin of the Divine Court.
But Qin Haodong didn't know that. After going out, he said goodbye to Alex and was ready to leave. But at this moment, a beautiful figure came in from outside the door.
"It's you, Xi Youmi. Why are you here?"
Qin Haodong was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Xi Youmi, who had been away for a few days.
Xi Youmi was surprised and delighted to see Qin Haodong. She rushed over and hugged his arm. "Haodong, we meet so soon. It's really fate."
Qin Haodong asked, "Didn't you say that you had something important to do? Why are you here?"
The nearby Alex said, "Doctor Qin, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Miss Xi Youmi. She's a designer hired by Divine Court. She specially made clothes for the Holy Virgin.
"And as any information about the Holy Virgin needs to be kept secret, we told Miss Xi not to tell anyone else."
"Oh!"
Qin Haodong nodded. Perhaps only the invitation from the Divine Court could make Xi Youmi bid farewell to a fashion show in advance.
Alex continued to say, "Miss Xi Youmi is indeed very professional. This morning, she came to the city. I told her to take a rest first, but she firmly disagreed. Thus, she came here to ascertain the size of the clothes for the Holy Virgin."
Alex was careless to say that, but Qin Haodong's heart was moved. Xi Youmi had been away for two days, but she had just arrived in the city this morning. Where had she been before? What was more important to her than the invitation from Fashion Week and the Divine Court?
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not say anything.
He said, "Then carry on with your work. I'll go back now."
Xi Youmi didn't let go of his arm. She asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Haodong said, "Nothing. I'm just here to have fun."
Xi Youmi said, "Then where are you staying? How long are you going to stay here?"
Qin Haodong said, "I rented a villa in the suburbs. I'm living there now. It's hard to say how long I'll stay there. If I'm in a good mood, I will have fun for a little longer. If I get bored, I'll go back to Huaxia."
For some reason, he had been on guard against Xi Youmi. This was an instinctive reaction, so he did not reveal his real plan.
Xi Youmi said, "That's great. I haven't found a hotel yet. Wait for me for a while. I'll go with you after I take measurements for Miss Kathryn."
Qin Haodong asked, "Why will you come back with me?"
"To live with you of course. We lived together in M Country, didn't we? Do you have any other ideas?"
Xi Youmi mischievously winked at him, and then quickly entered Kathryn's bedroom. A few minutes later, she returned.
"Well, we can go now."
Then she naturally took Qin Haodong's arm and left the Duke's Mansion with him.
After getting in the car, Xi Youmi took Qin Haodong's arm and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm so hungry now. Shouldn't you invite me to have a big meal?"
"Okay, you can choose whatever you want to eat."
It was time for lunch, and Qin Haodong was hungry too.
"I've been in M Country for so long. I'm tired of Western food. I want to eat Huaxia food. Let's find a Huaxia restaurant."
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "Okay."
A few minutes later, they drove the car to a restaurant called Huaxia Dumpling King. As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled the pure fragrance of Huaxia food.
He walked in with Xi Youmi and Lev. Since it was the peak time for a meal, there were no private rooms left. So they chose a table in the hall and sat down.
