The Healing Power of Bai Die
Upon hearing Bai Xue’s acceptance, Zi Zhong immediately burst into tears.
He believed that the young child before him must be a good person and was convinced that his child would no longer face hardships.
“Let’s go, I’m really sleepy,” Bai Xue said.
“Go ahead, don’t worry about your father and mother,” Zi Zhong told his two children with a gaze that was lost in darkness.
This might be the last time he would see Zi Shu and Zi Ting.
Despite his sadness, he believed this was the best choice, as he would soon breathe his last.
Zi Zhong decided that he would join Zi Ping, his wife, who was already awaiting death in the monastery.
The monastery was a place where people of lower status who were close to death gathered.
It was a peaceful place, but devoid of hope and filled with despair.
Even though Zi Zhong did not want his wife to stay there, he was powerless.
Zi Ping’s life was hopeless; she was paralyzed in every part of her body and would soon pass away.
“Father, how will you survive when you cannot see?” Zi Ting cried, looking at her father with tears covering her face.
“I will manage.
Do not worry about me.”
“Father…”
“Why do you cry?
I will take all of you with me,” Bai Xue interrupted, seeing the newly acquired servant hugging and crying endlessly as if she were a wicked thief tearing a family apart.
How could she, being so good, become a wicked thief?
“Your Grace, will… will you take our father with us?” Zi Shu asked hopefully.
He did not want to leave his father here, knowing that his father’s end was near, but he wished to hold hands with his parents before they departed.
“Yes,” Bai Xue nodded indifferently, because Bai Die had already told her that the body of this middle-aged man possessed divine power, but was crippled due to a life-ending poison.
Bai Xue’s thoughts were simple.
She believed that by helping this person, the Bai family would gain a strong and loyal servant, which would be more beneficial than harmful.
The lethal poison was dangerous and incurable, as even if the poison could be removed, the paralysis would remain.
However, Bai Xue had Bai Die as a contracted beast.
Bai Die, a celestial butterfly, might not have attacking power, but it possessed strong defensive capabilities and abilities beyond that, including the power of healing.
And this lethal poison was not beyond the capabilities of her contracted beast.
“I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I have been afflicted by a lethal poison, and it won’t be long before my life ends…” Zi Zhong had never encountered someone with such a kind heart before. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
He felt deeply moved and was overjoyed that his two children would be able to stay with such a person.
“How does it matter if it’s a lethal poison?” Bai Xue asked calmly in return.
“The lethal poison is extremely vicious. No one has ever survived it,” Zi Zhong replied.
“That’s because they have never met me.”
“What… what do you mean?” Zi Zhong’s heart skipped a beat at Bai Xue’s words.
He did not dare to hope, but something made him feel that the young person before him could save him.
“If you wish to be cured, swear to be a loyal and faithful servant to me,” Bai Xue said after noticing the confused look on Zi Zhong’s face.
“Can… can you really cure me?” Zi Zhong’s voice trembled, he was afraid but also filled with hope.
“…” Bai Xue did not reply and chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Zi Zhong was extremely confused, knowing well that this type of poison could not even be cured by those who use sacred grade medicines…
…Could she really?
Driven by the fact that he had nothing left to lose, Zi Zhong eventually knelt down, bowing his head in total surrender.
“I swear to be a loyal and faithful servant to you for all my life!” Zi Zhong declared with a firm voice.
“Good!” Bai Xue smiled satisfactorily and slightly moved her hand to toss a clear blue medicine into the open mouth of the man before her.
This medicine was for healing, not specifically for removing the lethal poison.
Bai Xue did this to conceal the healing powers of Bai Die, making it seem as if it was her magical medicine that cured them.
The healing powers of the celestial butterfly were immediately transmitted to Zi Zhong’s body as soon as he consumed the medicine.
Zi Zhong felt a coolness covering his body and seeping into his flesh, clearly understanding that it was because of the medicine he had just ingested.
It didn’t take long.
Bai Die withdrew its power, and soon after, Bai Xue heard Zi Zhong’s cries of joy.
“I can see again! Xiao Shu, Xiao Ting! Your father can see again!” Zi Zhong excitedly informed his two children, hardly believing it himself but his world had brightened up once more.
“Father…”
“Father, we are so happy for you.”
“Thank you, thank you so much for your kindness.”
Zi Zhong quickly knelt before Bai Xue once again, this time his children, Zi Shu and Zi Ting, also knelt down, looking up at Bai Xue with the utmost respect.
“I swear to repay you with my life!” Zi Shu promised.
“Me too.”
“And me as well!”
“Alright, we can go now,” Bai Xue said nonchalantly, waving her hand before summoning a phoenix named ‘Xiao Hong,’ a spiritual creature of sacred level, from her mental dimension.
“Xiao Hong, take me home.”
‘Yes, Young Miss.’
After that, Bai Xue brought the Zhi family back to the Bai family mansion, not forgetting to pick up Zi Zhong’s wife, Zi Ping, from the monastery along the way.
Bai Xue also helped her recover.
Zi Ping was a rune user of the sacred level.
This turned out to be a triple fortune for Bai Xue, as it implied that Zi Shu could also potentially be a rune user like his mother.
Swish! You are reading on g.com, the official source.
When the five of them arrived at the quiet Bai family mansion, Bai Xue led the four to Bai Ling’s quarters, where she promptly removed her face covering.
This was the first time the Zhi family saw the kind and innocent face of their benefactor.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe such a young child could be capable of killing anyone.
“Grandfather, grandfather!” Bai Xue called out to Bai Ling, and soon after, the elder of the Bai family hurried out from his bedroom.
“What happened, Xue Er?” Bai Ling asked worriedly, fearing bad news due to the late-night disturbance.
“Nothing, grandfather. I happened to come across these people in distress during my training and helped them. Therefore, they have sworn to serve me,” Bai Xue explained, fabricating most of the story.
“Servants?”
“Yes, grandfather,” Bai Xue replied with a pure and innocent smile.
Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Bai Ling looked past her to see the group Bai Xue had brought with her.
He calmly observed them.
They had emaciated appearances, almost skin and bones.
Among them, he could not sense any power from the three, and the fourth had only low-level power.
They seemingly were of the lowest class.
Bai Ling thought.
But in reality, the reason he could not detect the martial prowess of Zi Zhong and Zi Ping was that they were far stronger than him.
However, due to their current physical condition, it was natural for Bai Ling to perceive them as low-class individuals.
“Well, let them stay in the quarter at the back then,” Bai Ling finally decided, seeing no reason to turn them away now that they were here.
“Yes, grandfather,” Bai Xue nodded in response.
“But, Xue Er?”
“Yes?”
“Did you sneak out again?”
“…” Bai Xue stood still immediately upon hearing the next question from Bai Ling, before deciding to dash back to her room in a hurry with an adorable demeanor, without intending to explain anything.
Seeing this, Bai Ling could only sigh.
“Oh, well, let’s go… I’ll take you to rest. Don’t pay any attention to Xue Er. My niece is always like this,” Bai Ling could only watch Bai Xue’s tiny back disappear, shaking his head with a troubled heart, before leading the Zhi family to the quarter at the back, which was currently unoccupied.
The Zhi family could only watch Bai Xue with confusion, as they were unsure about Bai Xue’s character.
She seemed very different from the decisive benefactor they had encountered earlier.
Now, Bai Xue seemed just like any other child.
