Inside the room.
Bai Yan threw herself into refining the elixir so sheâs still unaware of the battle outside.
Boom!
Suddenly, a very loud noise came out of the cauldron as if something wants to break out of the container.
Gradually retracting her focus as the flame slowly dwindled down from the palm, the demon queen awaits the lightning bolt thatâs to come from her efforts. Yet the expected electric might never came after several minutes, that surprised the woman as she frowned at the oddity.
âI see, it must be because this domain was created by Heavenly so it doesnât have a world will, otherwise thereâs no way my alchemic products wouldnât create a scene from the sky.â
Not dwelling on the issue since itâs a good thing, Bai Yan removes the lid and gathered the elixir into a bottle for the child.
âThe medicine is done, you can come out of the tub now.â
No reply came though.
Furrowing that brow up, Bai Yan got closer to examine the girl. Only then does she realize Song had fallen unconscious from the stinging pain. Without delay, the demon queen sweeps the child up from the water and held her in those arms.
Perhaps its due to the relief of being free from the painful liquid, but Songâs eye started to move so slightly right off the bat until she eventually regained consciousness.
âMrs. Di...â The little girl opened her mouth where a whisk of air infused into her lungs and brought a refreshing sensation, âIs it a success?â
âHmm,â Bai Yan responded with a hum as confirmation, âtake this elixir and you will be healed.â
First glancing at he bottle presented to herself, then at Bai Yanâs reassuring face, Song didnât hesitate in the slightest and chugged the fluid down in one full gulp.
Instantly, a warm currently circulated across her entire body, cleaning and removing every ounce of the toxin until her very soul felt refreshed. Then at the last second where she thought sheâs healed, something suddenly started to push itself out of her abdomen. Following a nauseating sensation of wanting to vomit, Song opened her mouth and cried out where a blop of black blood spat out of her throat.
âMrs. Di, I am... healed now?â The voice of Ji Songâs trembled with excitement after realizing how good her body felt.
She never thought this day would actually come, the day where she could go out in the sunlight.
âYes, itâs a success, but youâre too weak due to your body never seeing the light. I have some more medicine to help improve your health, take it and you will eventually be like everyone else.â
As the old saying goes, if youâre going to send someone off then send them all the way. Sheâs already removed the toxin, might as well spend a little more to boost up her bodyâs condition so she could become a normal child. After all, Songâs going to be her daughterâs companion from now on. Bai Yan only hopes this girl wonât let her down.
âThank you.â Song got so moved by the new bottle thatâs given to herself that sheâs barely able to stop herself from crying. Nevertheless, she did as told and drank the bitter medicine without objection.
