Chapter 212: Mavenna

Ning returned back to the room and saw the two siblings huddled together, still occasionally sniffling. 

Famir noticed Ning by the door and immediately got out of bed to run to Ning. As soon as he reached Ning, he got on his knees and started thanking once again. 

"Thank you, senior. Thanks to you I got my sister back." 

Seeing that Famir was likely going to cry once again, Ning grabbed him and said, "You got your sister back because you persevered. You went to the library and learned everything you could. You were the one that found out about your sister's illness and the cure for it."

"I was just a person who went to get it. So, don't thank me. thank yourself," Ning said. Famir tried to say something, but Ning left him and walked to the bedside. 

"Hello, little Miss. How are you feeling right now?" Ning asked. 

"Who…" the girl was a little bit scared seeing Ning. 

"Mavenna, this is the senior that helped in healing you," Famir quickly got to them and said. "You should thank him."

"Thank you, senior," Mavenna said with a hoarse voice and tried to get out of the bed to bow to him, just like her brother. 

"Wait wait wait wait wait, don't move. You can't move just yet," Ning said. 

"That's right, Mavenna. You've been in a coma for nearly a year, you will need to wait for a few more months of training to get you back on your feet," Famir said. 

"I… can't walk? I see. Okay," Mavenna said in a sad voice. 

"I am sorry, but that's just how it is," Famir said. 

"Uhh… not really. Not when you have me," Ning said. He immediately brought out some random ingredients and started smashing them in a mortar and pestle that he brought out himself. 

Once they formed a paste, he put some water in it so that her body could handle it better. He handed it over to her and said, "Eat this." 

The girl hesitated when she saw the weird-looking green water and looked towards her brother for confirmation. Famir nodded when he saw this and the girl drank it.

The moment that she drank it, Ning remembered something and winced a little. A terrible scream was going to come out soon. 

"Aaaah! What's happening to my body? What is this?" the girl started shouting in a normal-sounding voice rather than a hoarse one. 

"It's okay, Mavenna. I went through that as well. We can get you cleaned up. Let me carry you," Famir said and walked forward. 

However, before he could reach the bed, Ning stopped him and shook his head. "Little miss, can you walk now?" he asked. 

"Walk? Didn't you say I can't walk?" she said and suddenly put her arms over her mouth. "I can speak normally now. What's going on?" 

"Huh? You can? But how?" Famir was surprised as well. 

"The medicine I just gave you helped you. For now, try to come out of the bed, " Ning said. 

Mavenna slowly lifted her bedsheets and showed the black goo all over the inside of them. From there, her two legs slowly lifted and she placed them on the ground next to her.

She pushed herself off the bed and tried to stand. She nearly lost her balance, but Famir came in to give her a hand. 

"It's okay, brother. I can walk," she said. 

Famir nodded and slowly let go of her hand. Mavenna tried to balance herself and succeeded in doing so. She slowly placed a foot forward and then placed another forward.

Famir was behind her all the way to grab her in case she lost her balance, which she didn't. She went outside to get washed and Ning decided to wait for them inside. 

He looked at the mess there was on the bed and asked the system to clean it. Within a second, all the unnecessary gunk disappeared from the room, and it barely cost him a dozen or so million energy. 

"Is my daily cap off cooldown, system?" he asked. 

< you still have 5 hours before the cap comes back>

"God, it's so hard to keep track of time here. There is barely 6 hours of sunlight and yet, it never gets dark thanks to the aurora. I need a watch or something," he thought. 

"Actually, no. Do I even have enough energy to waste? I need to make the Nigh indestructible ball to go through that wormhole," he thought. 

"Speaking of which,  how much energy will it cost to make a small marble-sized ball that can survive that onslaught of Qi and Aether?" Ning asked. 

<It will cost you exactly 23 Billion energy to make a ball that can survive the Maelstrom without external help>

'23 Billion, huh? If I can get Kinetic's cap increase… 23 billion will take me exactly a month or so, assuming I don't use it elsewhere, and I can even absorb so much energy in a day,' he thought.

'Given that I have the other few things to buy, let's give a conservative 2 months' time before I have to leave,' Ning thought. 

"Urgh! I am going to be late again," Ning thought as he remembered the promise he had made to the other people. 

"System, save those things at the top of the auto-buy list," he said and forgot about it for now. 

Famir and Mavenna came back to the room. Ning looked at the little girl with her clear face with 0 blemishes and her body that was suffering from no muscle atrophy. 

'It seems the medicine from one world works well in another world as well,' he thought.

"Congrats, little miss. You are all healed now," Ning said. "Now, don't go using those Aether arts once again just yet. You don't have any Aether absorption method, so you can't absorb any when you are down." 

"I won't," Mavenna said with a serious face. 

"Haha, you won't have to worry about it for long. I will teach you an absorption method very soon."
