Inside the room.
Bai Yan threw herself into refining the elixir so she’s still unaware of the battle outside.
Boom!
Suddenly, a very loud noise came out of the cauldron as if something wants to break out of the container.
Gradually retracting her focus as the flame slowly dwindled down from the palm, the demon queen awaits the lightning bolt that’s to come from her efforts. Yet the expected electric might never came after several minutes, that surprised the woman as she frowned at the oddity.
“I see, it must be because this domain was created by Heavenly so it doesn’t have a world will, otherwise there’s no way my alchemic products wouldn’t create a scene from the sky.”
Not dwelling on the issue since it’s a good thing, Bai Yan removes the lid and gathered the elixir into a bottle for the child.
“The medicine is done, you can come out of the tub now.”
No reply came though.
Furrowing that brow up, Bai Yan got closer to examine the girl. Only then does she realize Song had fallen unconscious from the stinging pain. Without delay, the demon queen sweeps the child up from the water and held her in those arms.
Perhaps its due to the relief of being free from the painful liquid, but Song’s eye started to move so slightly right off the bat until she eventually regained consciousness.
“Mrs. Di…” The little girl opened her mouth where a whisk of air infused into her lungs and brought a refreshing sensation, “Is it a success?”
“Hmm,” Bai Yan responded with a hum as confirmation, “take this elixir and you will be healed.”
First glancing at he bottle presented to herself, then at Bai Yan’s reassuring face, Song didn’t hesitate in the slightest and chugged the fluid down in one full gulp.
Instantly, a warm currently circulated across her entire body, cleaning and removing every ounce of the toxin until her very soul felt refreshed. Then at the last second where she thought she’s healed, something suddenly started to push itself out of her abdomen. Following a nauseating sensation of wanting to vomit, Song opened her mouth and cried out where a blop of black blood spat out of her throat.
“Mrs. Di, I am… healed now?” The voice of Ji Song’s trembled with excitement after realizing how good her body felt.
She never thought this day would actually come, the day where she could go out in the sunlight.
“Yes, it’s a success, but you’re too weak due to your body never seeing the light. I have some more medicine to help improve your health, take it and you will eventually be like everyone else.”
As the old saying goes, if you’re going to send someone off then send them all the way. She’s already removed the toxin, might as well spend a little more to boost up her body’s condition so she could become a normal child. After all, Song’s going to be her daughter’s companion from now on. Bai Yan only hopes this girl won’t let her down.
“Thank you.” Song got so moved by the new bottle that’s given to herself that she’s barely able to stop herself from crying. Nevertheless, she did as told and drank the bitter medicine without objection.
