Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 996. [Soul Anchoring Pill]. Soul Comprehension.

After Ayanduin's visit, there was only one thing left to do in this world: the meeting with Lord Gu Chen. Before that, they had a few preparations to do. First of all, curing Yasenia of her poison.

Kali was in the alchemy room with Yasenia, Flora, and another three maids who specialized in alchemy. They were all, Kali included, tasked with a supporting role in this pill's creation. The leading alchemist was none other than Valeria herself.

Yasenia was slowly taking out the essence of a few herbs and asked. "By the way, where did Valeria go?"

Kali hummed. "I think she went to talk with Ayanduin? I am not sure, though."

The dragoness extracted the essence perfectly and poured it into a vial, wondering. "Why did she go? Any idea?"

"To be honest, I don't." Kali waved her hand, lighting a small fire under the cauldron to warm it up. "Yasenia..."

The dragoness asked with a hum. "Yes, Honey?"

Kali sighed. "Are you really ready to forgive him? I can understand why, as this situation is extremely similar to Tengliu's. However, we were not completely helpless against him, right? He is infected by my parasite."

Yasenia smiled faintly. "You are right. Killing him was not impossible. However, some of us would've died."

Kali blinked. "Really? Even with Valeria's full support, you still think so?"

"Yes." Yasenia sighed. "I think you are underestimating his strength, Kali. What if he has an [Intent Domain] that he has not revealed yet? Even if it is a Level 1 Intent Domain, the results of facing him would've been devastating. One of us dying in exchange for what? The treasures that we could get with my other tactic, risking no one's life? It's not worth it. My maids and you are my family. I refuse to sacrifice any of you for petty revenge that can be settled without those risks."

Kali hummed. "So, unless you are completely sure that you can kill without any casualties, you prefer to settle revenge in a different manner?"

"And if it affects any of you, then forgiveness is almost impossible as well~." Yasenia added with a laugh.

"I see." The fox kin nodded. "But I won't easily forgive him."

Yasenia acknowledged. "I know. You have seen me suffer for a few years; I can guess how much your hatred for him has grown. Probably, it won't be resolved in a lifetime. Regardless, being able to listen to me and give this path a try is more than enough."

Kali smiled softly, and then, the door opened. "Sorry, children. It took a bit longer than I expected~."

Kali looked over to the tall woman who appeared and smiled, her tails wagging. "Welcome back, Valeria. How did it go?"

"Better than expected~." Valeria laughed and added. "From our conversation, he looks like he does intend to be honest about that contract, Yasenia."

The dragoness nodded. "As long as people don't betray my trust, I don't mind giving them mine back. I said it in the past: I'd rather trust and regret than never trust and later regret that choice."

Valeria agreed. "Let's start the concoction. It's not hard, so just listen to my words, and before you realize it, we'll have the antidote. It is also a blessing, to be honest. Well, you'll understand once you absorb it."

Then, they all started the concoction of the pill. First things first, Valeria took over the alchemy fire control and perfectly managed it. "Flora, throw in the [Seeking Rose Petal Vine] and [Gold Clover Leaf] essences. Kali, wait four seconds and add the [Phantom Tree Stump]. Yasenia, please add the first batch of supporting herbs."
