Chapter 385 Love And Devotion
\'Just how... what did he do?\' Belen was speechless at the turn of events.
Then, thinking about her emotions went on a rollercoaster ride and she even cried, which she hadn\'t done in a very long time when he already had means to prevent himself from dying, she annoyed, "I cried in vain. Hmph!"
However, the happiness and relief in her teary eyes told another story.
After her thumping heart returned to normal, she wiped her tears, walked near him before and waved her dainty hand in the air where he had been tapping to see if she could find anything.
\'That\'s strange,\' She thought after not finding anything amiss.
A moment later, she shrugged. \'I shouldn\'t pry into his secrets. After he acknowledges me, maybe he\'ll tell me about it himself.\'
\'But will he acknowledge me now that his every other woman is many times better than me?\' Her mood became downcast, and she couldn\'t help but sigh.
\'Oh no. I need to heal him.\' She suddenly realized and took a healing pill and fed it to him. Although Max wasn\'t in danger of dying any longer, the injuries he got thanks to this ordeal were still there.
After she helped him digest the first healing pill, his wounds started recovering, but after a few seconds, pill\'s medicinal power was exhausted. Belen wasn\'t surprised. She already knew healing him won\'t be a simple task since there wasn\'t any part of his body that wasn\'t seriously injured.
She continued to feed him all the grade-three healing pills she had one by one. Unfortunately, after some of his minor wounds were healed, the pills stopped taking effect.
"No, no, no! This can\'t be happening.\' She panicked. "What should I do? How do I heal him?"
She knew given the seriousness of his injuries, if isn\'t healed in time, his injuries would rebound and leave permanent damage to his organs. It wouldn\'t be too surprising if he couldn\'t use his mana after that.
Creak~
Just then, she heard the broken bed creak. Turning around, she found Leticia had woken up and was rubbing her eyes with a satisfied and excited look on her face.
This ticked her off.
Whoosh!
She lunged at her while shouting, "You shameless bitch! Are you happy after almost killing him? How dare you smile!"
Slap!
Leticia, who had been feeling pleased after noticing a strange yet extremely terrifying power coursing through her bloodline, was caught off guard and was slapped squarely on her face.
It was as if the slap had flipped a switch. Her bloodline raged out of her control and her eyes took on a reddish-purple hue. Then,
Boom!
A malefic aura, although not as strong as it was before, burst out of her and sent Belen flying.
After stabilizing herself, Belen glared at Leticia and said through clenched teeth, "Good! Good! Good! Let me see how powerful your bloodline is."
Boom!
She unleased her mana and many vines sprouted out of the ground before shooting toward Leticia like some deadly spears.
After she sent Belen flying, Leticia was already panicking because it was her bloodline that got triggered. Although she didn\'t know why Belen was angry at her, it was never her intention to retaliate against her, because she respected and treated Belen like her big sister.
So, when she noticed Belen strike at her without holding back, wind elemental mana enveloped her and she dodged to the side, her breasts jiggling hypnotically because of the sudden movement.
"Oh?" Belen exclaimed in surprised. She had attacked without warning and since the distance wasn\'t much to being with between them, she was sure Leticia wouldn\'t be able to react in time given her capabilities.
But because she couldn\'t hit her, her anger surged, and she sent her vines toward her again.
Seeing her continue attacking, Leticia yelled out loud, "Hey, hey, Belen, calm down! I don\'t know what you are talking about. What did I do wrong?"
Swoosh!
When Belen heard her shout, she stopped her vines mid-air and laughed out of anger, "Hahaha... Are you really asking me this?"
She then pointed at Max on the flower bed and coldly asked, "Tell me you didn\'t know your bloodline awakening would kill him, but you STILL chose to sacrifice him. How can you be so ruthless to the person you love?"
Tears appeared in her eyes as she continued to shout hysterically, "You cheap woman, you don\'t know how lucky you are! Even though you weren\'t good enough, he still accepted you and I know, although he doesn\'t show it, he cares about you more than he cares about Rima or worthless me. But how did you repay him? By almost killing him?"
When Leticia saw Max lying lifelessly on the bed and heard Belen, she paled and muttered in confusion, "I did that?"
Then, information related to her bloodline appeared in her mind. When she read the condition of its awakening, it was as if an explosion went off in her mind and she acted as if her soul had left her body.
Awakening requirement: Need to have extremely stimulating and satisfying sex that can make you lose your mind with the person you love more than your life. But remember, your awakening will suck him dry and he will die.
Thud!
She dropped to her knees, a heart wrenching pain filling her heart. Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she mumbled incoherently, "Why? Why? Why did it happen? If I knew the price I would have to pay would be this big, I would never have tried to awaken it."
When she had sex with him in the Ninam city, she could feel something trigger within her ever so slightly and she felt if this thing triggered completely, her future would change and she would soar through skies. Then yesterday in the inn, she felt the same sensation again, this time more strongly.
Today, while waiting for him to come, she started feeling the same thing again, and she distinctly felt \'it\' was going to trigger completely. This is why she asked Belen to tell him not to freak out if she acted strange and would become normal after climaxing.
Seeing her act this way, Belen could faintly guess she really didn\'t know something like this was going to happen. However, she didn\'t try to console her, as she was still angry.
\'Wait?\' Suddenly, Leticia realised something. According to her awakening requirement, Max would certainly die after her bloodline awakened. However, Belen never said that he was dead. Each time, she used the word \'almost\'.
Whoosh!
Realising this, hope flashed in her eyes and she appeared next to Max in the next second. Her speed was so fast, Belen didn\'t even see her move.
Then Belen heard her say, "I know you won\'t believe me, but I really didn\'t know this was going to happen, nevertheless, I almost took his life. So, I\'ll let him decide my punishment. If he wants me to die, I\'ll immediately kill myself."
Hearing this, Belen sighed and shook her head, "To do that, we need to heal him to wake up first. Unfortunately, ordinary grade-three healing pills doesn\'t have any effects on his injuries and he won\'t be able to handle grade-four pills\' potency even if we had some. If we want him to wake up, we need something that has extremely potent healing effects but is mild in nature. Something like a grade-four life nourishing pill."
She then turned to walk out of the room while saying, "You take care of him while I try my luck at the trading peak."
"No need. Since I\'m responsible for his condition, I\'ll be the one to heal him." Leticia calmly said.
Hearing this, Belen frowned in displeasure. Turning around, she angrily said, "Didn\'t you hear me? I said grade-three pills aren\'t..."
Before she could complete her sentence, the sight in front of her rendered her speechless and in shock and disbelief.
