Death... and me

3034 I'll Wait Here

Rean shrugged. "Who knows? All I gave you was that pill. It helped reform your body and especially your blood. You could think about it as refining your blood and eliminating the most useless portion of it while filling that space with the good part."

Rean continued. "If you can feel the presence of a bloodline in your body, that's because it was already there from the start. The pill only made its concentration big enough so that you could finally notice its presence."

Little Fisha was impressed by those words. She was one of the Stage Six Swordhorn Sea Race Demon Fish in the caves of the Spiritual Pond, but she wasn't particularly much stronger or much weaker than the others at her level. Average would probably describe her the best. Yet, at the moment, she was pretty sure she could defeat any of the other Stage Six Swordhorn Fish there with ease.

"Anyway," Rean got up and walked in Foliana's direction. "Just take your time to get used to your gift. I won't be giving anything else after this."

Little Fisha nodded, still feeling shocked by her own changes. What first started as the worst decision of her life now turned into the greatest one. She quickly jumped out of the little pond Rean made for her and went to a corner before starting using her new abilities.

Rean arrived in front of Foliana and touched her forehead. Seeing the condition of her soul and her body, he nodded, satisfied. 'Her body is taking longer to get used to the bloodline. Just like Little Fisha, the pill improved her bloodline many times. That's why she hasn't woken up yet. She should wake up in the next few hours, though.'

Rean then sat on her side and simply continued to cultivate. Finally, two and a half hours later, he heard a sound on his side.

*Uhm...*

Foliana opened her eyes and felt her entire body aching. She got up slowly, looking around and trying to make sense of what happened.

"Seems like you are back," Rean voice echoed in her ears. "How is it? Check your body's condition."

Only then did Foliana remember what happened, and her eyes opened wide. Without thinking twice, she sent her Spiritual Sense into her body and analyzed the situation. The pain was still present, but she could clearly feel the difference, especially in her bloodline of the Red Lightning Hawk. "Incredible..."

She extended her hand, and sparks of Red Lightning danced around it. It felt so easy to control that she wondered if she was still the same person. Her cultivation didn't go up even an iota, but her overall power definitely increased by a lot. "My bloodline..." It was then that Foliana noticed a difference in her Red Lightning Hawk Bloodline.

Rean got up as well and nodded while patting her head. "Yea. The pill also helped you increase the purity of your bloodline. You even got a little bit of Red Lightning Hawk Essence Blood in your body on your own. Of course, compared to the amount of Essence Blood on the altar, the little bit you got is still lacking."

Rean then turned to the altar. "However, because your body now has a Red Lightning Hawk Essence Blood of its own, it will easily accept the blood that Globian left behind. You don't need to worry about your cultivation level."

Foliana was impressed. That little bit of essence blood already made a huge difference, so how much better would it be once she absorbed the blood left behind by Globian? "Let me... just get used to it a little bit, then I'll try to absorb the blood on the altar."

Rean didn't mind. He put his hand on her should, and a burst of Light Element followed. In a moment, the pain on her body disappeared as if it had never been there before. "Go ahead. I healed the strenuous parts of your body, so you should be able to move without issues. Just be aware we have been in this place for almost two days, so we have at most a day to leave before the formation closes."

"That long?!" Foliana was taken aback. Then, she looked at herself and noticed something. "Wait... how come I'm wearing different clothes...?"

"Oh!" Rean nodded. "With all the impurities that came out of your body, you simply stunk to no end. I got a few clothes from your Spatial Ring and cleaned your body before putting a new set on you."

Foliana immediately grew as red as a tomato. "You... you got me naked? Di-Did you see... everything, even, even, even down there?!"

Rean nodded again. "Well, I had to clean and put new clothes, right?"

Foliana immediately crouched down and closed herself in embarrassment. Only then did Rean remember that Foliana was still very young. Things like naked bodies and similar were a big deal for her. *Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Rean slapped Foliana's back head, much to the girl's surprise. "Brat, what kind of weird ideas are you having there? First of all, don't you have fucking Spiritual Sense? You should have seen hundreds of thousands naked bodies already."

"Its... it's not the same thing..." Foliana complained. *Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Rean repeated the same action. "Then get fucking used to it! In real battles, it is pretty common for clothes to be completely shredded by the power of its user or the enemy. This is not the first nor the last time many people will see you naked."

"Oh, by the way," Rean took out the clothes that he removed from Foliana earlier. "These are the clothes you had on your body before I changed you."

Immediately, the extremely foul smell entered Foliana's nose, making her face contort in disgust.

*Bzzzzz!*

Without thinking twice, she instantly used her Red Lightning to disintegrate those clothes. She didn't even want to think she ever wore them in the past. "Ahem... th-thank you for your help."

Rean smiled. "I just didn't like the smell, that's all."

Foliana calmed down and saw Little Fisha on the corner of the room, trying her new powers. "I'll go to the other side to train as well."

Rean didn't mind. "Go ahead. I'll wait here."

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
