Boom!
Ji Skyâs momentum suddenly changed, causing the whole sky to become stormy in that instant. Not waiting for Gu Ya to say more, he dashed towards the courtyard where Bai Yan was staying.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside the room.
Ji Song stood quietly there as she watched the demon queen pour some sort of weird substance into a tub of water. Immediately, that clear warm liquid had turned into a faint green color that oozed with medicinal aroma.
âMrs. Di, will this be enough to save me?â
Bai Yan shook her head: âItâs merely the first step in the procedure. You will soak in this tub of potion I prepared for half an hour, during this time I will prepare the main elixir for you.â
Nodding in understanding, Song doesnât question the other side. For some unknown reason, sheâs convinced this person could help.
âLing Yan, you go and rest first.â The next process would be quite painful for the patient so Bai Yan doesnât want her daughter to see it.
âOkay.â The pipsqueak obediently complies and got up: âI will come back and see you Mother after I take a nap.â
With one final glance at her friend, the girl promptly left for her own room. Just like that, the procedure to cure Ji Song has begun.
âZsszzz!â The first sensation the morbid girl felt was an intense sting across her whole body after dunking herself in that tub of potion. Itâs not extremely painful to the point where she couldnât endure, but itâs stinging deep into her bones which was incredible hard to withstand.
Itâs so painful like someoneâs poking needles into me.....
It hurts!
âIf you want to recover then put up with it.â
Just when Ji Song wanted to protest and complain, Bai Yan shuts her down with that remark. Itâs faint and unemotional, but those words came down like a bat and knocked any resentment away.
Thatâs right, I need to endure this if I want to get better. Five years of endless darkness, I donât want to go back.... This is nothing to me, I will get better, I wonât submit to such a life, I will prevail!
Growing stronger and stronger in her mind, a powerful determination filled the morbid girlâs eye as she recalled the painful past of her childhood. Those memories werenât painful in the physical sense, but on a spiritual level.
Biting down on her lip until it bled, she wants to use pain to combat pain in this case. Itâs the only mean she knows because itâs not the first time sheâs hurt herself in such a fashion after caving into her own loneliness in the past.
Slightly startled by the method used by the lass, Bai Yan raises an eyebrow in surprise at the determination. She was ready to take actions if Song intended to give up so easily so her hands were already about to reach out. However, that precaution was unnecessary it seems.
This child mustâve suffered a lot in the few years sheâs lived on this world. Not many could think of using pain to counter pain.... Very well, if you are determined to get better then I will do everything within my means to save you.
Taking out a small cauldron from her storage ring, Bai Yan also begins her effort of refining the final medicine using her soul fire.
