Chapter 124: Direct Contact

Chapter 124 - Direct Contact

This time, it was easier to convince Snow Crane to accept Rean's treatment. One thing worth to mention is that Roan wouldn't be able to do it even if he used Rean's Light Element. That's because Rean relied mostly on his perception of life force, which Roan can't feel at all.

Sure enough, the Snow Crane went through a lot of pain as Rean used Roan's Dark Element to get rid of the Umbral Energy. But with Javiu's help, everything ended fine. Rean stayed there for the day, continually recovering his Spiritual Energy with Spirit Stones and then healing the Snow Crane's internal injuries.

When night arrived, Rean was exhausted.

"Great job, kid. I didn't think that Light Element was so useful. However, you better not tell anyone that your Light Element can deal with Umbral Energy. I will do the same as well and only tell the Snow Crane's owner that I got a better medication."

Rean, who was lying on the ground, looked at Elder Javiu.

"Her owner?"

Javiu nodded.

"Most of the Stage Four and above demon beasts have someone who tamed them in the past. Although most of them are disciples or previous disciples of our Demon Beast Faction, there are also a few from the other factions. They pay us to take care of their own demon beasts since we are better at it."

Rean nodded. This place really had everything they would need to take care of the demon beasts. The Sect might have several factions, but they are ultimately the same Sect, so things like this happened a lot.

"By the way, who is her owner?"

"It's me."

Elder Javiu and Rean jumped in fright! Out of nowhere, a woman appeared leaning against the opposite wall, and it seemed like she had been there for a long time already. However, they didn't notice her at all.

She has long black hair with black eyes and a slim body. Her appearance was of someone around her late twenties. Still, Rean knows that cultivators can keep their appearance for much longer. That being said, she is probably several times older than she looks like. Nonetheless, she was a beauty in her own merit.

The only one who didn't seem surprised was the Snow Crane, which rubbed its head against that woman.

"This... Elder Tiria, how long had you been there?"

Elder Tiria gently caressed the Snow Crane as she answered.

"From the moment you began to heal my Nana's second internal injury."

"Nana?"

Javiu explained.

"It's the Snow Crane's name that elder Tiria gave."

Rean nodded.

"Elder Tiria, about the-"

Tiria didn't let Rean finish talking.

"I know. You were able to get rid of the Umbral Energy, which is indeed something impressive. Usually, we need to pay a high price for a pill capable of doing such a thing. It is to the point that my Nana's value might not be worth it. To be honest, I knew about it, but acquiring the pill for the Snow Crane was just too hard and expensive."

"You don't need to worry, I won't tell anyone about your ability. Otherwise, the Umbral Sect might send some assassins to get rid of you. With your cultivation, you would be dead the first moment you step outside."

Rean felt a chill on his back. He didn't think that helping the Snow Crane was so dangerous like that. But Rean felt puzzled for a moment.

"Even a Core Elder like you can't get the pill to heal the Snow Crane."

Tiria smiled a bit before saying.

"I do have enough authority to get one pill, but I had to use it myself in the end."

Rean was taken aback. Javiu, on the other hand, wasn't. Elder Tiria participated in that small fight against the Umbral Sect a few months ago. So it's not surprising that she was also a victim of the Umbral Energy. From what he heard, that was quite a fierce battle. Of course, the Dalamu Sect also left their own gifts for the Umbral Sect.

"I see, at least elder Tiria is already healed, so that's a good thing."

Tiria's smile got bitter when she heard that and murmured.

'Healed, uh?'

Rean and Javiu didn't hear that, though.

She patted the Snow Cran twice. The Crane understood her meaning and returned to its nest.

Tiria then approached Rean and grabbed one of his hands, which puzzled both Rean and Javiu. It was then that she put his hand between her chests! Well, not exactly there, but closer to her neck instead.

Rean's face became as red as a tomato! He is quite weak to this kind of thing. Rean tried to pull it back, but with Tiria's cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm, he couldn't possibly be stronger than her.

Javiu, too, was taken aback by that.

"Cough, cough. Elder Tiria, should I go away and leave you two alone?"

Rean felt like crying! Can't you see the child molestation here? Help me for fucking sake! This is wrong!

However...

*Pah!*

Elder Tiria did a chop motion with her other hand, hitting Rean's head.

"Aren't you too self-aware for a kid? You better calm your little brother down there, or I swear I'll cut it off!"

Rean's face went from red to pale in the next second. As for his little brother, it immediately lost all its excitement, quickly returning to normal sometime later.

"I have no interest in you, just do the same thing you did with the Snow Crane to check my condition."

Rean and Javiu were taken aback once more.

'So that's what you wanted! Anyway, why the hell did you have to select that arena to put my hand? Couldn't it be your belly or your shoulder? How the hell does your head work?!'

Of course, neither Javiu nor Rean said that in front of a Core Elder.

Rean then took a deep breath and sent his Light Element inside elder Tiria's body. Immediately, an extremely comfortable feeling spread through her body, making her let out an involuntary moan.

Rean almost fainted! If others heard that without seeing what was happening, what would they think was happening between the two?!

In fact, even Tiria wasn't expecting to let out such a sound, so she felt a little embarrassed too. As for Javiu, he pretended that he didn't hear anything for his own safety.

However, Rean's expression changed a second later.

"Holy Shit! The Umbral Energy inside you is at least 10 times stronger than the ones I healed from the Snow Crane!"

Rean then released his hand and understood why she had to put it between her chests. If he didn't use that place to send his Light Element inside, it would be hard to reach where the Umbral Energy is concentrated. Elder Tiria is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Her body had a natural Spiritual Energy barrier that made it difficult for Rean to Circulate his Light Element inside. That's was basically because of their difference in cultivation. Only by touching a place 'close' to where she received the attack of Umbral Energy directly would he be able to check it properly.

'Still, couldn't you have told me in advance? I might look like a kid, but I'm still a man, you know?'

Elder Tiria had never heard the term 'Holy Shit' before, but she didn't care since she could guess why he said that. She then got up and asked.

"Did you see? Tell me what you think."
