Chapter 37 Vein Transformation Fruit

Vein Transformation Fruit

Xue Bai would spend the next four days unconscious.

But While he was in a coma, he spent the four days living through his first life but in the third person. He didn't know what made him astral project, but he was thankful for it.

Living in the Baishen Plane for the past two years had already made the faces of his parents become vague. But now, living his life again, he could see them once again, and maybe for the final time.

From the moment he was diagnosed with ALS to when he was gifted "Children of the Plane," Xue Bai watched his life calmly without thinking much about it. However, as watching it again for the second time, he noticed his mother's oddity.

When he lived his first life, whenever he saw his mother, she always seemed like a bundle of joy. Laughing and bringing color to his world. However, now, seeing his mother again, he knew that it was all a mask. Her expression looked forced, and she always had red eyes from most likely crying to herself before entering his room.

However, no matter what, she would never even frown once she came into his room. Whenever she was in Xue Bai's room, she was his sun, and no negative emotion ever came out of her.

If Xue Bai weren't in a soul-body watching it, he would have already broken down in tears. His mother was the most selfless woman there was. She had birthed him and wanted to bring a child into the beautiful world and hopefully have him care for her in her late age. However, it ended up being the opposite, with her taking care of Xue Bai during his life. But yet, she still chooses to hide her sadness and make Xue Bai smile.

"Mother, wherever you are, I will find you. I don't know how long it will take or if you'll die before I can get to you. But one day, I'll fulfill my filial duty!" Xue Bai swore in his heart.

After making that promise, the rest of Xue Bai's life ended as normal till he saw how he died. It was exactly as he assumed. ALS suddenly broke out in his circulatory system, making it impossible for him to breathe, and he died of asphyxiation. The doctors stormed the room as fast as they could, but Xue Bai died before he could be taken anywhere to save his life.

After seeing his death once more, Xue Bai was only even more resolved to become immortal. Dying once was enough for him.

Once Xue Bai died again, his vision turned black, and he soon woke up in a bed in his room. Looking around his room, he saw Xiao'er wetting a rag to keep his temperature low, presumably.

Xue Bai stood up to try and call her over, but he found that his body was a little weak and he couldn't even sit up, let alone stand.

So with a hoarse voice, he called out the maid's name. And after he did, he saw her visibly shake before turning around slowly.

Seeing her face shocked Xue Bai, her eyes were red with tears, and she had bags that looked like she hadn't slept in days.

"Young Master, you're awake!" Crying out, Xiao'er leaped towards Xue Bai's bed, hugging him, afraid he would disappear again.

"Xiao'er, what happened? I only remember falling asleep after eating the Celestial Void Fruit." Xue Bai asked.

However, Xiao'er was still hugging him, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Xiao'er, did you hear me? No way she fell asleep right here?" Xue Bai was stunned. This was so novelistic.

Having a beauty care for him while unconscious and then falling asleep in his lap after waking up.

Seeing Xiao'er fast asleep on his lap Xue Bai couldn't get angry at her, though he never could anyways. So instead of rudely waking her up to ask about his situation, he waited for his parents to notice his awakening. They were keen on these types of things.

And sure enough, after a few minutes of waiting Li Rou entered the room, soon followed by Xue Feng.

Li Rou first went to pick Xiao'er up and check on her condition, while Xue Feng went to Xue Bai.

"Bai'er, how are you feeling right now?" Xue Feng asked.

"Physically or the changes to my body?" Xue Bai asked back.

Thinking for a moment, Xue Feng replied physically they could discuss the changes to his body at a different time.

"I don't feel anything negative. It's just that I'm starving and also super thirsty. Also, how long was I asleep for?" Xue Bai answered.

Li Rou was the one to answer his question this time, replying, "Around four days, we had fed you fasting pills to keep you alive."

Though Xue Bai was shocked, he guessed it was around that length from how Xiao'er looked.

"Can you stand Bai'er?" Li Rou asked.

Xue Bai shook his head at that. His body was too weak currently. The fasting pills didn't give him any strength but only kept him alive.

Taking some food out of her Spatial Ring, Li Rou handed it to Xue Bai, "Here's some food and water then, Bai'er. Eat and rest well. When you feel like you can move around, come outside. We'll be waiting for you to discuss your new Marital Veins." After giving his head a pat, his parents left the room.

Seeing the delicacies in front of him, Xue Bai didn't wait. His stomach was rumbling louder than an earthquake. With how hungry he was, Xue Bai soon finished the food that his mother gave him, and after downing it with some water Xue Bai fell back asleep, but this time on his own accord.

Outside his bedroom, Xue Feng and Li Rou sat by the small pond waiting for Xue Bai to wake up again.

"Rou'er, Do you think the fruit worked?" Xue Feng broke the awkward silence.

Li Rou held the asleep Xiao'er on her lap while she fiddled with the maid's hair. But after hearing the question, she looked up at her husband.

"It definitely worked. We both saw the Martial Veins after Bai'er passed out. But whether they are Low Earth-grade is something we need to test when he wakes up."

Xue Feng nodded at that.

"Husband, what about the Emperor? What did he say?" Li Rou asked.

"He said that he would come to visit. Though I kept denying that we had anything to do with the eyeball, the fact that it was right above us made us the number one suspect." Xue Feng sighed.

"How long until he arrives?" Li Rou asked tentatively.

"The Emperor is in the thinking that a Secret Realm has opened near our Dukedom, so he plans to bring Duke Yan and Duke Wang along with him. So the three of them will arrive sometime next week. However, I'm slightly worried when they discover Bai'er. His new appearance isn't something that can be played off with cosmetics."

"I can get Zhou Beizhan to get some hair dye for Bai'er, but what do we do about those eyes? Not only are they eye-catching, but they also give off a majestic aura. The Emperor would feel threatened just being around them." Li Rou spoke.

Sighing once again, Xue Feng didn't have an answer to that.

"We can either hide Xue Bai in his room, claiming sickness. However, the Emperor is a suspicious man and would demand to see Bai'er even then. Or we send Bai'er out of the Dukedom." After thinking for some time, Xue Fen spoke out about their only options.

"Send me out of the Dukedom!" Then, as they were thinking about which to choose, Xue Bai walked out of the room.

"Bai'er, are you okay to stand?" Since Li Rou was holding Xiao'er, Xue Feng went over to help Xue Bai stand.

"I'm fine, Father. The food was extremely nourishing. So walking is no problem for now." Xue Bai answered.

"That's great!" Xue Feng exclaimed, "Also, I had cut you off. What were you going to speak about?"

"Send me out of the Dukedom. There is something else I need before I can cultivate. This appearance of mine will also change once more after I get this last opportunity. So showing the Emperor my appearance only to change a few days later will make him completely suspicious of us." Xue Bai explained.

Though his parents were unwilling to let him leave, Xue Bai comforted them, saying that this was necessary.

"But before you leave, we will help you gain some strength. Now that you can cultivate, we can give you a gift we have prepared ever since you were 5!" Li Rou said excitedly.

Under the approval of his wife, Xue Feng took a case similar to the one that once held The Celestial Void Fruit from his spatial ring.

Opening it showed a yellow fruit the size of only an orange.

"This Bai'er is the Vein Transformation Fruit! Though it might not be as good as the stuff in your memories, it's perfect for your situation! Eating it can help you instantly path out all 5 Veins. After that, all you need to do is open up your dantian, and then you can reach the peak of the Vein Transformation Realm!!" Xue Feng explained with pride.
