Chapter 267: Memories of the past Part8

Inside the new domain, Xander gently held Tang Yue's charred and burnt body.

"You crazy woman. Why do you always have to go the extremes?"

The man's crimson eyes were as ruthless as ever but his lips were curled up and there was an incomparable warmth lingering around them.

The domain Xander had summoned was a variation of the dark elemental domain, a healing domain.

However, it was not an ordinary healing domain. 

It was a magic spell that sucked the soul energy from the neighboring living beings and healed the targets within the domain.

It can convert a flourishing green grassland to a barren graveyard within minutes.

If activated for a prolonged time, this spell even had the capability to lay waste to the millions of lives in the surrounding radius.

However, it was the most effective and fastest healing method that Xander had at hand.

He didn't have the heart to see Tang Yue suffering from a slow and painful recovery, even though it would only be for a few minutes.

So he didn't hesitate at all and quickly activated this evil soul-sucking domain, just to convert those minutes into seconds.

It was only for a few seconds and but Tang Yue's physical wounds had already healed to a great extent.

Her bones, blood vessels, meridians, flesh and regenerated back perfectly, stronger and sturdier than before, and the fresh skin on her body glistened.

Maybe because her body had undergone several rounds of tempering now, her figure was far more pure and perfect.

Her voluptuous curves were even more enticing than before and her body barely contained any impurities.

Xander nodded in satisfaction after seeing the various improvements.

"Aren't you progressing a bit too fast?" He chuckled. 

Even though Tang Yue had suffered a lot, it looked like the benefits were well worth it.

He lovingly tucked her soft and silky locks behind her ears and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

He then helped her reapply her disguise and deactivated the domain. 

And his clone, as well, smoothly returned back to his body as if nothing had happened.

That night everyone in the royal city lost a small minuscule fraction of their souls but no one was any wiser.

If they came to know that they had all suffered a loss in their soul strength that they had worked hard and cultivated, just to aid the speedy recovery of a single woman, that too not even from any life-threatening injuries, the entire civilization would have plunged into an uproar.

Xander had called Tang Yue's body tempering method extreme, but his healing method was even more extreme.

And just as he dismissed his personal domain, Tang Yue's still unconsciously resting body was revealed, and Charlotte quickly ran towards her.

Even though Tang Yue had assured her before beginning the whole process, she was slightly anxious and checked to make sure that the woman wasn't seriously injured.

She then placed Tang Yue's head on her lap and patiently waited for her to rest and recover.

Xander coldly snorted on seeing her intimate actions, but he didn't bicker as usual and quietly walked out.

He was already satisfied with the two minutes that he got to spend alone with the woman and his heart was filled to the brim.

While these two doted on her with adoration, Tang Yue happily slept without a care in the world.

Maybe because she was too tired and weakened, and her mind was completely exhausted, a familiar dream surfaced back up again.

Tang Yue dreamed about that recurring nightmare again, but this time she was not under the influence of any pill or magic spell.

It was a very clear and lucid dream and left a deep unforgettable impression on her brain.

Tang Yue was fast asleep for the entire night and she only ended up waking the next day morning.

As she stirred awake and her long eyelashes fluttered, both Little Blue and Charlotte anxiously looked at her.

Xander had disappeared in the middle of the night and he hadn't returned back yet.

So only these two were near Tang Yue, eagerly waiting for her and watching her like a hawk.

Tang Yue slowly rubbed her eyes and sat up straight.

"How are you feeling?" Charlotte handed her a jar of water.

"Hmm… I have broken through to the Emperor realm." Tang Yue smiled and lazily replied.

"Waaah! Congratulations." 

"It looked like it was very painful but it is indeed a powerful and unique body tempering technique to yield such drastic results." Charlotte cheered for her.

Tang Yue nodded and grinned. 

She was very happy with the results as well and even felt guilty for being extremely rude to the old man the other day.

At the end of the day, he was also trying to help her, even if his ways were extremely twisted and devious.

She was still firm in her principles, but Tang Yue made a mental note to apologize to him later.

She took the jar of water from Charlotte and gulped it down slowly.

However, suddenly her actions froze mid-air. 

Her mind was just casually wandering here and there, thinking about nothing in particular, but she subconsciously recollected the dream from earlier.

Tang Yue's eyes instantly flew wide and her entire body trembled.

With a loud clanging noise, she immediately dropped that jar of water in her hand.

Shock and disbelief filled her eyes and her face was extremely grim.

"Yue. Yue. What happened?" Charlotte panicked and worriedly shook her.

But Tang Yue just sat there frozen like a statue. Tears streamed from her eyes and her lips whimpered.

She clutched her head and started panting as if she was having a panic attack.

Charlotte was extremely worried. She had no idea what was going on.

"Please Yue. Don't cry. It will be fine. Don't cry. Just tell me what happened." She tried to console her.

But Tang Yue was in no condition to answer her concerns.

Tears continued streaming down her cheeks and she sobbed like a child. 

This woman was a polar opposite to the woman who had just now withstood insanely powerful lightning bolts.

Tang Yue continued silently crying for a long time before lifting her head up and mumbling. 

"My mother… My mother was the person who crippled me."
