Huang Quan felt him struggling and applied a bit more force to her grip. “Don’t move.”
The young man stopped moving and looked at Huang Quan quietly.
She appeared so fragile, like a delicate doll. How could she be so strong?
“I won’t die,” Huang Quan said, looking at the young man seriously. “Not only won’t I die, but I can also save you.”
“That shouldn’t…” The young man furrowed his brow. “No one can save me…”
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?”
The young man lowered his gaze, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
He had carried this deathly energy since birth. His mother died during a difficult childbirth, and afterward, even his initially healthy caretaker’s health deteriorated. As he grew older, the deathly energy had grown stronger with his age. Anyone who touched him fell ill or, eventually, died. Their condition worsened rapidly, and death came swiftly.
From childhood to adulthood, he had seen numerous alchemists and doctors, but none could help. They ultimately turned to the monks of the temple, but even they couldn’t find a solution.
How could he believe her?
“What are you daydreaming about?” Huang Quan asked, noticing his silence and gently rubbing his head.
While rubbing his head, she seized the opportunity to touch his hair.
Wow!
It was soft and silky!
Divine looks and divine hair quality! She was all for it!
The young man also noticed her subtle actions and raised his head to look at her, his expression becoming even more complicated.
Seeing him raise his head, Huang Quan quickly withdrew her hand to show that she hadn’t done anything.
“Can you really save me?” Confronted with the undeniable reality, the young man began to believe.
Huang Quan was indeed unharmed!
For all these years, she was the first person who had touched him without dying!
The young man didn’t know why this was happening, but he wanted to seize this opportunity. Even if Huang Quan couldn’t save him, being able to interact with people like a normal person would be a blessing.
Even if it meant only touching her!
“Yes, I can,” Huang Quan replied with a relaxed tone. “Can you see the deathly energy on your body?”
The young man nodded. “Yes.”
“Now, look at me and concentrate,” Huang Quan instructed.
The young man obediently nodded. “Okay.”
Without further words, Huang Quan held the young man’s hands, and with a thought, her life force overflowed from her palms.
As her life force appeared, the young man immediately felt comfort wash over his body, and the pain he had been experiencing gradually subsided. It was as if he had quenched his thirst with a refreshing spring in the scorching heat, making him involuntarily moan in relief.
The life force was a faint green color, emanating from Huang Quan’s palms, wrapping around the young man’s skin and entering his body.
After absorbing the life force, the deathly energy on the young man’s body started to be devoured. The pain that had spread throughout his body disappeared, and he felt like he was reborn.
The constantly replenishing life force was absorbed by the young man, and the deathly energy on his body was indeed devoured but then reappeared, not being eradicated completely as Huang Quan had expected.
Seeing this, Huang Quan was surprised. “What’s going on?”
“This shouldn’t be happening,” she muttered.
The young man looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It should be within my abilities to absorb all the death energy within you but in reality, my power is successfully absorbing the death energy, but it seems that the energy within you resurfaces after being absorbed, preventing complete eradication.”
I like that he know her
