Chapter 199 - 199. Isaa's sickness

Kendra looked at him with reluctance written all over her face as she saw the enchanting man slowly approaching. When he stopped in front of her and bowed so he could be in her line of eyes looking at her fervently.

Her feet unconsciously stepped back as she wanted to make space between them. In her eyes, a bit of anger and stubbornness rose.

Looking at her face finally showing normal reactions his smile became even bigger but he stopped when Looking at her eyes getting scared as he got closer. No this is not what he wanted from her, not this expression Is she still not ready?

He remembered a certain person and his eyes clouded. It seems she really is her child. Not letting anyone get close enough if she doesn't want. As he looked deeply into her eyes he could see the same expression. A small chuckle could be heard from his lips.

His eyes turned towards Isaa that shook in bed. Big beads of sweat slid down her skin and wetted her clothes and beddings that she was laid upon.

''She will be fine in two days. The thing she did to her body will be her punishment for her greed. I will not help her much. All I will help her with is that she can keep her meridians and pearl of power, but her powers... I do not know what will happen to them after she leaves this place. Next couple of days she will have a fever. Let her rest a lot. She should eat something nourishing.'' He put his hand on Isaa's stomach and faint green light started spreading all over her body.

Kendra looked at him getting paler as he tried helping Isaa. After a long time, he stopped with a gasp and staggered as he let go of Isaa. With a pale face and blue lips, he whispered through his chapped lips. ''This is all I can do for her. I gave her some of my life force so she can survive. In the future, you ow me a favor. Can you promise me that?''

Kendra jumped to help him, but he refused to accept. ''I do not need your pity. Promise me a favor. Later, much later, promise me...''

Even with low power he still stood straight and steadily looked at a small child in front of him. She calmly rose her sight and nodded. ''As long its nothing harmful to any kind of creature, I promise I will accept your request. But you have to promise me you will not use my powers to harm anyone or anything without my affirmation.''

She knew already that she belonged to do something that is even stronger than Cultivators, Elementalists, Deities, even stronger than God's. If that is the case and he asks her to destroy something, she will not accept it. She just wanted to let him know her decision.

He knew her meaning so he just nodded and with a wave of hand disappeared.

With a sigh, all she could do is to quickly get the girls to help her change Isaa's clothes. As she cooked nourishing soup she thought about him as well. He always just mischievously played around but never actually harmed anyone from her own group.

This world as well is not one that is aggressive. When she just came in she scared those chickens that turned just aggressive in their fear. She sighed. Life is like that. Fear unknown and attack it so it won't hurt you. But is that the right way?

Looking at Isaa her head started turning back in time. They knew each other already so many years but just now from his words she realized one thing. He never said, human.

Is she another kind that was left in the human world just like her? A deep sigh escaped her mouth she patted Isaa's head. ''Little one, it must have been hard on you, right? I am glad we met each other and we met all those kind people in our lives. At least that way we could become what we are today. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be my little sister.''

Isaa slowly opened her eyes and saw Kendra near her and tried to snuggle in her arms like a long time ago. ''I missed your hug. Even tho I am already grown up, somehow I miss your hugs.''

Her tiered and whiney voice made Kendra smile. ''No matter how old we become I will be always your big sister. Whenever I can I will take time just for you. Do you understand? Don't try to harm yourself only to prove to me that you are strong. For me, it is enough if you just have enough power to follow me high enough and be close to me when I become one of those people.''

Isaa nodded. ''I know. I just wanted to become stronger so I can protect you as long you are still in this body...'' Her voice became fainter as her eyes closed and her breath became calmer.

Kendra patted her head and covered her body. ''Little fool. Didn't you hear the Taskmaster? He gave me my true powers back. I have no idea what they are, but I will check them out now. You recover now and then we can chat. Ok?''

Isaa sleepily nodded lightly and fell even deeper into the sleep.

When Kendra went out she saw Anita and Kimi coming with soup. She had to stop them. ''Not now. she just fell asleep. Wake her up around noon. I need to check on something. I will be back ok?''

They nodded and silently went back so they do not wake up the sick Isaa. Looking at their back Kendra just shrugged and turned her head towards the other room.

As she entered she could see the beautiful man lying on bed and gasping with faint breaths. In her playfulness, she closed his nose and waited that he opened his mouth, but he just went red and stubbornly prevailed.

''Calling me a fool this, fool that every day. So stubborn, who is actually a fool, you or me?'' She flicked his forehead with forefinger and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes just a little bit and saw her looking at him calmly. Indeed, like the mother, like daughter. So many different cultivators tried to pair themselves with him, but these two women never even considered him.

''I am the biggest fool. Can you forgive me? I promise I will behave from now on.'' He looked at her pleadingly as he saw a small playful smile on her face. What is this child having in her head now?

Kendra narrowed her beautiful eyes and got closer to him. ''Are you really going to behave?''

He just sighed and rose slowly both hands spreading all ten fingers. ''I give you my word of honor. I lived so many centuries, I never broke my word.''

Kendra nodded. ''Fine. Your word is enough. From now on I really have no wish to be included in these tasks, but I will help out with the village building. But I am just a little curious. If this is the fifth level world what level world do grounding fairies live?''

He blinked at her. ''I guess you never attended the classes, did you?''

She winced a bit. Her face became pink as she felt ashamed. As soon she came to this world she started cultivation, forgetting even to get any pieces of information. That is one of the reasons she got into this trouble. ''I came to this world and straight away started cultivating.''

He snorted. ''You plan to become Deity, then Goddess and then Grounding Fairy? You must be kidding me.''

She looked at him astonished. ''What is wrong?''

''You will never be able to become grounding fairy if you do not understand all existing worlds. Don't you know why cultivators become so strong and live so long?'' He looked at her and saw her curious expression.

''Well, isn't it because they cultivate their powers high enough?'' She innocently spoke to him as that is what she actually really understood.

''Hah. No wonder you want to stay a child. With your brain, you should be just happy living in this world a few centuries and dying calmly. If your head is used only for such a thing then no wonder Isaa's powers are unstable. She is doing it all for you.'' His words were cold as he looked at her directly.

Her heart became cold as she could feel the honesty in his words. ''Explain, please.'' Her heart started pounding as she recalled many strange situations in the past. She looked at him beggingly and his eyes closed and then opened with a strange light in it.

For a while, there was quiet between the two of them and slowly he rose from the bed. ''Do you even know who and what Isaa is?''
