Chapter 2: Don’t Boil Me!

Suzaku Continent, a broad land surrounded by Scarlet Demon Seas, if one didn’t count the Demons lurking inside the Demon Seas, this land was very peaceful in general.

Peaceful? No, the White fogged forest in the Dahong country was an exception.

Thick white smoke rose from a cauldron so big that it required five adults to surround it, making it hard to open one’s eyes. 

A baby who looked like she was just born was clutching onto the centipede faced man’s sleeves with a horrified face, crying loudly. Unfortunately, no one could understand what she was screaming about; if you were to translate her screeches, it would’ve been:

“Hero! Good guy! Handsome man! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have threatened you with growing up to be more powerful. Please, kill me instantly with your Demon Light; just don’t boil me! I still need vengeance from the Holy Temple, please, at least leave me a whole corpse!”

That right, this was the kid who transmigrated from White Tiger to Suzaku Continent.

Currently, she had a big cauldron under her.

The centipede faced man not only didn’t soften his heart for Xena’s cries, he even squeezed her harder under his arms. Groups of tier-four Spirit Beasts obediently put unknown herbs beside the man’s feet, watching the man in awe, then, staring at Xena’s small struggling body, drooling.

Now, Xena was about to crap herself from those bright green beastly eyes staring at her.

Even before, in her past life, Xena had been rewarded with a Tier-one Silver Hoof Fawn because of her talents, this kind of powerful Spirit Beast had a long term pursuit amongst the Canaan Holy Temple.

But that so-called “Powerful” Fawn was nothing compared to these Tier-4 Achak wolves.

TL Note: Achak means spirit from Native American Algonquin origin.

Dozens of Achak wolves with four little yellow stars on their foreheads were “kindly” surrounding Xena, drooling non-stop, their stomachs rumbling with the glutton. Why didn’t this newborn get poisoned to death?

This cruel lunatic was going to brew Xena into the broth to feed his pets!

“Am I going to be boiled by this feral man?” Xena cried.

Splash! Not giving Xena the time to explain, her body fell into the boiling water!

Xena coughed immediately after dropping into the cauldron, choking on a huge mouthful of water. She didn’t know whether it was the steam in the cauldron or the herbs in the water. A pure aura suddenly spontaneously circulated in her body. (i love google translate)

The appearance of the aura was completely unexpected!

“This cannot be possible!”

The non-boiled Xena was surprised. Having experience from her past life, she knew what this aura was.

This, was Spirit power!

Having Spirit power was a key step in becoming a real Conjuror. It was said to be the boundary between ordinary people and the strong!

Youngsters with Lingen normally would have their Spirit power activated before 16. In Xena’s past life, her power activated when she was ten, she became a Tier-one Conjuror when she was twelve, and because of that, she was said to be a genius. Now, compared to this current life where she activated her Spirit power as a baby, not only would Xena in her past life, even her mentors would be so embarrassed they would commit suicide!

“So I didn’t boil to death, and I restored my spirit power?!” Xena couldn’t hold back her excitement while still struggling in the pot.

Looking at this “delicious soup”, a small white flower floated by. Surprising Xena yet again.

Fragrance White Sakura!

This 7 petal White Sakura was the main ingredient to the legendary Spirit Based Fluid!

Spirit Base Fluid as the name suggests, is a medicine that ultimately enhances the potential of a Conjuror! It counted as an item that could be bought but nowhere to be found; even royalty can’t forge this Fluid easily.

With the flower petals flowing, a sweet aura special to medicine poured into Xena’s nose.

“Could it be that the lunatic wasn’t boiling me for soup, but rather enhancing my spirit power using Spirit Base Fluid!” Xena mumbled to herself.

Yet without the time to think more, an unbearable pain pulled her thought back to reality.

Xena couldn’t hold back her yells.

“My chest… It hurts!”

The newly activated Spirit power transferred to her chest where Demonic elements are oozing out of a black hole. 

“Sh*t! It’s that thing again!

Because of the immense pain, Xena recognized the black spot on her chest… It was the black orb containing Demonic powers!

In her past life, she was killed by this exact orb while on the mission to transfer it to the High Temples, then ended up absorbing the orb into her body, resulting in every high tier of the temples hunting her down. But, Xena could’ve never imagined the orb still attached to her.

No wonder the Centipede faced called her a demon, this orb was the product of 10 thousand lives lost in battle, the unbearable Devilish and bloody aura could never be erased. It would count as the evilest of the evil auras! Even the Holy Temple Lord couldn’t purify it; the only solution was to keep it sealed up.

Xena sarcastically smiled; her life was fucking pathetic. Having this kind of demon relic attached to her would ultimately result in her soul corroded, completely reducing into a killing machine. No wonder the Centipede face wanted to kill her.

Just when Xena was complaining about her troubling life, drops of warm liquid landed on her forehead, instantly relieving the enormous pain brought by the activation of the black orb.

Xena opened her eyes in a daze and saw an incredible scene. The man slit his wrist, squeezing fresh blood onto her head. Surprisingly, the blood contained a golden purifying light that could cleanse everything.

Yet the Centipede face made a weird look on his face; he seemed to have forgotten something. He used his other hand and repeatedly smacked the back of his head.

“Is it Demon Light?”

He stopped beating his head and put one of his blackened fingers in his mouth, sucking on it. Seeing Xena shaking her head for her life, his brows furrowed, and he started contemplating again.

“Is it a Demon Explosion?”

The Centipede face asked tentatively again, scaring Xena so much her head shook like a rattle.

“Right! It’s the Law of Purification!”

The man looked like he suddenly woke and said a spell even the Temple Elders couldn’t understand.

Not waiting for Xena’s response, the unharmed hand of the man suddenly turned silver, like a sharp dagger, it instantly slashed towards Xena’s stomach.

Xena thought it would be a macabre scene, but she didn’t expect the man’s silver palm to pass right through her skin like passing through the smoke. He snatched the black orb out of Xena’s body, not even leaving a single scar!

The demonic orb was just pulled out by brute force by the lunatic!

After all of this, the man picked Xena up from the pot of medicine, then with a tired face, he sniffed Xena’s body.

“Hmm, smells much better. I was wondering how my daughter could ever be a demon.”

Xena would’ve never thought that this man did this all to help her take out the black orb. Xena suddenly burst into tears,

No matter if this Centipede face is or isn’t a High-level Light sorcery Lord… From this day on, you are my dad!
