Chapter 391 - How the Hell?

Back at the Formations Guild, Qia's expression completely changed when she heard that.

'Boy, we might be inside the Formations Guild Territory, but it doesn't mean you can just talk about anything. First of all, how did you find that about?'

Rean then explained.

'I believe you probably looked into me already, right? I'm a Light Element user. Light Element just so happens to be very good for these kinds of situations. That time when we did a handshake, I noticed the scar through your life force. Don't worry, I didn't use my Spiritual Sense to check your body.'

Qia's expression relaxed a bit after hearing that. Indeed, she did look into Rean. In fact, she did not only check on him but everyone who could be a difficult opponent in the next Formations Guild Exam.

'Hmph! Of course, you didn't. Any female cultivator with enough resources would have clothes that can protect against it. That's why I asked you how you found out.'

Qia then looked around before she looked back at Rean.

'Still, that offer greatly interests me. Can you really do such a thing?'

Rean nodded before asking.

'I can, but it would be better if you can tell me how you got that many scars. There was even some on your... more private parts... Of course, I can fix those too.'

Qia's went dark for a second.

'Shut up! You didn't need to mention those. Anyway, it's not like it's any secret. Any Sasamil Direct Young Descendant will always participate in a few trials around the Empire. It's to show to the other countries our presence. At that time, I went to the Demon Poison Hell to take mine.'

'Although I had plenty of purifying pills, there were still quite a few poisonous creatures with strength. In one of the battles, my group took way too long to defeat the demon beast. When I finally had time to take the pills, the poison had already made its way deep into my body. I was able to eliminate it later on, but the scars had the biggest concentration of poison in them. In the end, the pills were not enough to eliminate them. Demon beasts couldn't care less about a woman's body, so that's why I also have scars... in those parts...'

Qia was very self-conscious of her body defects. Because of that, she always wore clothes that covered most of them. Fortunately, not many cared about that since she made that style look good on her. Nevertheless, she had always been worried about what to do when she got to marry someone. Unlike men, women took notice of their appearances very seriously.

It was then that Qia thought about a possibility.

'Wait! Do you need to see my scar to heal them? If that's the case, forget it!'

Rean was taken aback for a second but then laughed out loud.

'Don't worry. I just need to touch any part of your body so I can send Light Element directly inside. You will also receive a good amount of Dark Element, which is quite painful. Don't worry about that, though. I'll use my Light Element to protect your body. Please give me your hand. Also, be aware that Light Element feels very soothing, so you better control your voice. Don't say that I didn't warn you.'

Qia narrowed her eyes. What did he mean by that? In the end, she thought that Rean said that because it would be painful, not because it was soothing. After some time, she gave her hand to Rean without much hope. She had tried to get rid of those scars before, but none of the methods worked. How could someone from a small country on the corner of the Empire be better at it than the Imperial Alchemists and Water Element cultivators?

Qia should really have heeded Rean's warning, though. At the very moment their hands touched, a burst of Light Element rushed into Qia's body. It quickly spread through all the meridians and connected to every pore of her skin.

'Life Style, Third Form, Purification!'

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

*M.o.a.n!*

It was just way too good! She simply couldn't hold her voice back at all. As soon as she did that, she covered her mouth as her face went completely red. Although there weren't many people around, there were still quite a few. All of them immediately looked in her direction with shocked faces. Obviously, Qia took her hand back straight away after that.

Rean also felt helpless. He even went out of his way to warn her, but she didn't take his words to heart.

"Y-You! What are you trying to do with this princess?!"

Rean looked at her with a wronged expression.

"I told you to control your voice, didn't I? It was you who didn't take it seriously, not me. Seriously, why does everyone ignore my warnings? I'm just trying to make things right..."

In the end, Rean's Light Element only lasted for two or three seconds before Qia pulled it away. It was far from enough to heal her scars.

"Were you trying to humiliate this princess?"

"Like hell would I do something that idiotic."

Rean then switched back to using Spiritual Sense Messages again as he said. 

'Take a look at your body. Even though I was only able to work for a moment, it should have already shown some effect. Even your private parts' scars should have changed a bit.'

Qia was taken aback and immediately used her Spiritual Energy to check her body. Sure enough, the change was minute, but her scars really did look a little better. It was the first time Qia saw that happening.

'This... It actually works!'

Immediately, an excited expression appeared on Qia's face. She even felt like crying but held that urge due to the current place they were in.

'This is great! I even began to think that I would need to cut all the flesh out to fix them. Hahaha!'

Rean couldn't help but think.

'Cut the flesh out? Women are terrifying when it comes to their bodies...'

Qia then looked back at Rean before asking.

'How did you do it? None of the Alchemist Pills I took before worked at all.'

Rean then explained.

'The problem was the poison itself. It hasn't really been eliminated from your body. It fused together with the tissue of the skin, which made it look like it was part of your body. Their damaging effects disappeared, but the side effects remained. That's why none of the pills worked. After all, they couldn't find any 'poison' there.'

'I first used my Brother's Dark Element to destroy the poison while I kept your body safe with my Light Element. You probably noticed that it also hurt quite a bit, right? It's just that the soothing feeling was a lot stronger.'

Qia nodded.

'Indeed. I felt the pain, but your Light Element was just too good that I completely ignored it.'

After saying that, Qia narrowed her eyes. She wasn't an idiot. For Rean to help her with it, there was definitely something he wanted.

She was right. In fact, even if she hadn't pulled her hand back, Rean would have stopped using the Life Style Second and Third Form before finishing the service.

Qia pondered for a bit when she suddenly remembered how Rean was all flirty with her at first.

'This boy, could it be?'

She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed once again. 

'Well, he's already sixteen while I'm nineteen. It's not like our ages are that far from each other.'

One must not forget that Rean and Roan lied about their ages when they joined the Dalamu Sect.

'However, that's not the point here—this healing ability of his... I had heard from the reports that it was very good, even above Water Affinity Cultivators. But I didn't expect that it would be this overpowered. That's what really matters!'

Several ideas began to pop out in Qia's head in a flash. She wasn't the only descendant in that kind of situation, after all. There were many other women she knew that would love to have a taste of Rean's skill. Well, Rean said that he knew the poison in her scars, so she knew it still wasn't guaranteed that he could heal the others.

Just as Rean was about to ask what he wanted, the onlookers finally came forward to ask what happened.

"Ahem... Qia, did he do something to you?"

Sure enough, Qia's loud m.o.a.n and her angry expression earlier had caught too much attention. Naturally, the people around would come to see if everything was okay.

"What do you mean with that question? Do you think princess Qia would do such a thing of her own volition? It was obvious that the boy did something to her."

The female cultivators obviously tried to defend Qia. She was the princess while Rean was a nobody, after all.

The male ones only sighed as they looked at Rean.

"Brother. It's not good to bully women, you know? Let alone a princess of our Empire. You better give a good explanation."

Rean scratched the back of his head. It would be useless for him to explain. Still, he wasn't afraid. After all, if Qia wanted to have her body scars healed, she would need his help. He was sure she would fix this misunderstanding.

It was then that Qia smiled and hugged Rean's arm.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_%!d(string=17340518006576905)/how-the-hell_%!d(string=51579838057735088) for visiting.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry. I just exaggerated a bit in my reactions. Don't worry, it was just a couple's personal joke. In any case, I already warned my boyfriend here to not do that anymore."

*Boom!*

Immediately, the surroundings went into an uproar!

As for Rean...

'HOW THE HELL DID I BECOME YOUR BOYFRIEND?!'
