Chapter 503: Ah, I'm Blessed By Life Essence~
⇐ ⇒
The pure energy swiftly permeated every corner of Yaeger's body in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a faint crackling sound in her head, as if something was breaking. Amidst her confusion, the system's announcement continued:
Your [Green Emperor's Longevity Manual] has reached stage two. Your lifespan has increased by ten days.
Ding! You have harnessed the second needle of [Heretical Seven Needles], [Mortal Flesh].
Hearing this, Yaeger exhaled in surprise. She hadn't anticipated that curing a disease would extend her lifespan by ten days. After using seven days of her lifespan on the [Chaos Roulette] for the second time, she now had a net gain of three days.
What amazed her more was her initial assumption that each stage of [Green Emperor's Longevity Manual] would add only a day to her lifespan, but reaching the second stage had increased it tenfold.
‘If reaching another stage yields ten times the lifespan, then wouldn't the third stage grant me a hundred days... Hiss, unimaginable!' However, she couldn't be certain unless she actually reached the third stage.
In addition to her increased lifespan, Yaeger noticed a significant enhancement in her healing skills, seemingly a result of [Heretical Seven Needles].
"Strange. Why is my aura so solid now?" she wondered, sensing that her previously unfocused aura had become as solid as the ground. She also realized a slight overall increase in strength, but when she checked her character interface, there were no changes.
In stark contrast, Yaeger's complexion was alarmingly pale, her face now devoid of any color. "I'm so tired..." she whispered, lifting her right hand wearily. The feat she had just accomplished was nothing short of a miracle. Aurora's body, ravaged by anomalous energy for years and weakened, should not have recovered fully under normal circumstances.
However, Yaeger turned the impossible into reality. Not only did she heal Aurora, but she also enhanced her body beyond its previous limitations, pushing it to its highest potential.
The transformation was so profound that, were Aurora to wake up and look in the mirror, she would most likely not recognize herself. After Yaeger's meticulous procedure, Aurora emerged undoubtedly more beautiful.
This change was not akin to cosmetic surgery; it was a holistic improvement. Yaeger's intervention had refined Aurora's natural features, accentuating her inherent beauty and vitality. In essence, she didn't just restore Aurora; she evolved her into the best version of herself—a version brimming with health, radiance, and vitality.
"Perfect. As expected of me," Yaeger smiled with satisfaction, admiring the revitalized Aurora. But then she noticed a minor imperfection on Aurora's inner thigh. Acting swiftly, Yaeger lifted Aurora's leg and caressed the area with her hand, still glowing with green energy.
The skin transformed under her touch, becoming smooth and flawless. As she prepared to lower Aurora's leg, Aurora's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, locking gaze with Yaeger in a moment of quiet realization. "You're awake," Yaeger greeted with a smile.
"Ahhhhh!" Aurora screamed in response, understandably startled by the situation. Fiat, hearing his sister's scream, widened his eyes in shock and burst into the room. Yaeger quickly covered Aurora's body with a blanket to maintain modesty, respecting the sibling boundaries.
"Aurora!" Fiat rushed to the bed, only to be met with another scream from Aurora. He was taken aback by the stunningly beautiful and healthy girl lying on the bed. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her familiar features – it was his sister!
Realizing the transformation was due to Yaeger's intervention, gratitude filled his eyes as he saw Yaeger discreetly lowering Aurora's leg. Overwhelmed with emotion, Fiat knelt down, tears streaming down his face. This moment was a true testament to the saying: A man only sheds blood, not tears, until his heart is deeply moved.
