NOVEL WEB Chapter 499: Moon
"It seems the wounds are too much. I will need to reconstruct her whole body."
"Can't we just use life force?"
"No. We agreed that life force can trigger some changes in the life form. We want to help, not create a variable."
They decided on this after what had happened last time.
Crackle! Crackle!
The space where Vesa appeared suddenly let out a strange noise. It then cracked open, and something jumped out, heading toward MingYue.
Seeing this, MingYue let out a helpless smile while Alex sighed.
"MOMMY!!! You said you would only leave for a while!"
"I told you I am not your mommy."
"No, you are my mommy!"
Seeing the small girl with blue hair, Alex called, "Moon, how did you come out!?"
"I felt the space crack. Then from there, I felt mommy and daddy's presence, so I just jumped into it."
Moon was the baby mermaid that Alex and MingYue had found in the lake. After absorbing many types of energy, she evolved and transformed a few times until finally becoming this young girl.
The moment she opened her eyes, she could already talk, read, and write in many languages. It was like she had knowledge of Alex and MingYue's world. Find your next read at empire
This confused Alex, wondering how she got it. After reviewing the whole incident, he felt it was related to the energy the baby kept absorbing from their breakthrough.
This made him think that lifeforce could contain information like memories, even after he filtered it as a vampire.
Until he found the real reason, Alex decided not to use lifeforce to heal strangers and to avoid using it for healing if possible.
"You should go back, Moon. This is not a place for you."
"No, Mommy, it's boring inside! I have no one to play with; everyone is busy."
"Didn't I tell Elvira to play with you?" Alex asked in confusion.
He had put Moon under her care on Edonia, but it seemed she was doing other tasks instead.
"Aunt Elvira is boring, so I ran away," Moon said with a smug smile.
Alex's lips twitched; he wanted to knock some sense into her head, but seeing her chubby cheeks and cute expression made him soften.
Moon's eyes then turned to the grotesque body. "Ew, disgusting."
She put her small palm forward, and a sphere of liquid then appeared, covering it like a cocoon.
"Moon, what are you doing?"
"I want to clean up; it's disgusting to see."
"No, that person is still alive."
"Hmm... But Moon doesn't know her. Should Moon heal her?"
"Can you do that?"
"Yes, Daddy, but it's annoying as it will make me tired. Moon doesn't want to get tired of healing strangers. Moon wants to play with Daddy and Mommy."
Alex and MingYue exchanged glances; they didn't even need to talk telepathically to communicate now.
Both of them were curious about what kind of power Moon had. They used many methods but failed to detect any energy. It was like Moon was just a normal person, but this was impossible.
The only method they hadn't tried was an invasive one, but neither of them had the heart to do it. Since she transformed using part of their energy, they felt some weird connection with her.
"Don't be like that, Moon. How about this: you heal her, then return, and tomorrow, we will spend half a day playing with you."
"Hmmm... A full day." Moon tried to negotiate back, making Alex let out a chuckle.
"All right, you got it, a full day, but return after you recover her."
Moon gave a nod, and like a miracle, the woman's body recovered as if it had never been wounded. The process was very quick, almost instant.
"Done. Moon also healed her mental scars, so she won't have any problems," Moon said while her eyes turned heavy, and her face looked drained like someone who had just run a marathon.
Alex then sent her back to Edonia while looking at the woman, who was still sleeping. MingYue covered her body to give her some decency.
"Alex, did you feel anything?"
"No... It's like the woman's body recovered by itself. And Moon even said she recovered her mental scars. How did she do that?"
Curious, Alex walked closer and woke the woman up using his qi.
"Mmm... Where am I?"
"You are inside ShangXi Temple. What's the last thing you remember?"
The woman's face grimaced with pain as she used her hand to touch her head.
"I was delivering some complaints to ShangXi Temple. The elder is corrupt. I remember I brought evidence when I was poured a drink. Then..."
"Then what?"
"I don't know. The next moment, I saw myself here."
The woman then moved her eyes, wanting to see where she was, but Alex intervened, putting her back to sleep.
"So Moon erased her memory of this place," MingYue said with a frown.
"No, it's more than that. It's not just erasing memory. Her body should remember the torture.
Even if she doesn't know why, she should have shivered in fear, but she didn't show anything like that. It's like nothing ever happened.
It's like someone has amnesia, but if they are a veteran swimmer, throw them into the water, and they will somehow swim.
With the amount of trauma she faced, there is no way the woman completely forgot about it."
"Let's confirm it." Alex then drew a rune and put it on the woman's forehead.
He scanned the spirit and soul, looking for any wounds. Normally, with what she just experienced, there would be something left behind.
"I'm sure of it. There's nothing left. It's like her energy is on a completely different level, which is why we cannot feel it."
"Forget about it, then. What's your plan next?"
"Let's send this woman to FengXue and meet up with her."
At first, Alex and MingYue didn't want to intervene much, but now that Orion was missing, they wanted to ask the situation from FengXue.
"What about the abbot? If he disappears tomorrow, it will make a big scene."
