Save The Devil

Amelia looked at the pot and read the information transmigrated by the machine. Upon seeing something odd, which is not odd at all since she is the one who poisoned the woman.

She took out the small lid in the side of her bracelet and a bee size hovering device went to scan Mrs Liang's body. Amelia opened a keypad panel it is virtual but it works. She started typing in high speed and spoke to the device.

"Ruth, you have a scanning system 4 times that of the medical pot. What did you find?" Amelia spoke to the device ignoring the gawking expression from the two people.

A make machanical voice sounded. "She enhaled something. One of the prpoperties is the bale bloom. It is ..."

"The truth plant. This plant exist?" Amelia looked at the two people with narrowed eyes.

"It appears your Island is very interesting elder sister. Was she unusual for a while? Un able to withhold her true feeling?" She looked at them but Liang Mei looked to her father who nodded.

"She has chased away all her friends. No one wanted to stay around her anymore." The man said truthfully.

"Hahaha....I actually missed such a thing? Regrets regrets...." Amelia pounded her chest in faint sorrow.

"What is that?" Liang Mei couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"A computer, I upgraded it myself and updated its database on medical knowledge. You can ask it anything about types of herbs." Amelia folded her arms and challenged.

"What is an iralna fruit?" She wanted to ask something she found on the manual.

"It is black and grows out on a stem of yin wood which only grows in places with soil bathed in blood for atleast a dacade." The small computer answered and went back to Amelia's wristband.

Liang Mei could hear the distaste in the machanical robot. Her eyes bulged when it answered her correctly which means this is not a set up my Amelia, that small computer can really identify herbs.

"Impressed?" Amelia asked her smugly. Liang Jie saw that even though the two girls are not very close they are not too hateful towards each other.

"Now that you know the problem, can you cure it yourself or you still need my help?" Amelia asked looking at her fair hand.

"I'll be right back." Liang Mei wanted to go into her space. Amelia rolled her eyes and walked out. "Call me when you have decided or take that woman out of my home if you can cure her yourself."

"Amelia." Liang Jie walked fast trying to catch up to her.

"Yes." Amelia finally looked at this man who is so scheming that a little girl's heart can be ruthlessly stepped on without remorse. Or does he feel remorseful?

"I am sorry." He said with red eyes but Amelia didn't buy it and threw a stone into his hand. It turned red.

This happened before Liang Mei left the room so she saw that her father is not sorry but is busy lying about it.

She actually felt a peng of pity for Amelia for the first time. Amelia left the place without explaining what just happened. All Liang Jie saw is her straight back that seemed to be trembling as she walked away from him.

His instincts told him something horrible had just happened and he is the only one not in the know. He turned to Liang Mei but she just shook her head in disappointment and also left the room.

He remained still and confused. "I don't understand." He said but then he saw the stone in his hand turn blue. He remembers that it turned red a moment ago.

A scary thought entered his head. Can this stone differentiate between a lie and something true? He tested it a few time and finally understood that he had just hurt Amelia in a way that is beyond imagination.

His heart sank at the thought of having his truth be revealed in such a way.

Amelia left the room and went straight to concoctions. She made several batches of pills. When she couldn't do that because of mental fatigue, she went to havest the aot wheat that will be turned into oat flour later.

She used her hands which took a lot of time. This way she will keep busy and not fantasize about killing her own father.

When Liang Mei came out of the space she looked for Amelia on her own. Finding Blake blocking her way into Amelia's office, Liang Mei's heart skipped a beat when she took a good look at him. Sharp jaw line, bright sparkly brown eyes and that cold expression. His brown skin making him look exotic and ethereal. He looks like a cold elf prince.

Liang Mei can safely say she has never seen such a beautiful man in her life. She stood there in a daze for a while. Remembering why she is here she asked politely.

"May I see Amelia? We have a prior agreement to meet should I need it." Her voice sounded nice. Silky but not greasy. It made people want to get close to her.

"She is taking some time to come out. Please wait for a while." Blake did not speak rudely and spoke just as polite. His voice enticing as ever.

"Yo, why are the two of you so close? We have children in this floor." Amelia's voice also came through. She looked at the two people with amusement in her eyes. It seems her sister's heroine halo is doing its thing again. But why does it work so well with men?

"Come on in." She invited.

"About dad..." liang Mei started but got rudely interrupted.

"You are not responsible for that so move on.." Amelia said with a kind smile. But when Liang Mei saw it, she felt a shiver up her spine.

"I found the antidote but my alchemy level is way too low. This is a high level pill. Luckily the ingredients are not scarce."

"Ah yes, water spirit root eh? I bet you wish for a wood type or even fire type spirit root right about now." Amelia wiggled her eyebrows.

"Agh...just help me if you can Amelia. I'll pay whatever price you want." Liang Mei is exhausted from reading through the manual she doesn't have a lot of patience.

"You were all mooshy and polite when you were dealing with a gorgeous man. How come you turned nasty all of a sudden?" Amelia poked her arm playfully.

"Agh." Liang Mei stomped in anger. Her sword light coming out from her body.

"Okay...come down. Ruth is there a spirit cleansing potion or pills in the online store?" Amelia asked the room. A machanical voice came from the side speakers.

"Three hundred students have successfully concocted a spirit cleansing potion but the soldiers are using it too frequently so they are all sold out."

Liang Mei's eyes went wide. "Someone has been able to make this pill?"

"Correction, a potion. Less requirement for vigorous purification and pill forming which is why most alchemist fail in making pills. It requires precise control over the temperature of the fire and immaculate control of mental power or spirit power." Ruth answered her question.

"Amelia, are you saying that you shared your knowledge with others? Why?" Liang Mei is thinking back and remembered Amelia had been followed by a bunch of students in the medical pot chamber.

"Why do you care?" Amelia ignored the probing gaze.

"I don't, It is just too baffling. Such knowledge would change the world."

"But I can't do it alone." Amelia added.

"Your mother needs a high level pill in her state. But...this will take so much effort Mei, I want something good this time. And I want it before you take the pill from me."

She smiled at her growing discomfort. "Fine." Liang Mei readily agreed.

Amelia went into the alchemy room and started a fire. On the other side Liang Mei went back to check up on her mother. She found her father seated by the side.

"I found out what the stone does."

"Aha." Liang Mei checked her mother's pulse and is delighted to see the pot is keeping her condition from becoming worse.

She went out to buy something cooked to eat. Liang Mei bacame shocked again when she found out the food sold in the base hotel is spirit food. Amelia actually sells spirit food to her people. She shook her head and left with a takeaway to give to her father.

On her way back she saw many people wearing jewelry with the same stone. Be it earing, a ring, a bracelet or necklace. She pulled a young girl to the side and asked her.

"What is that item you're wearing?"

"An artifact? Are you from the county?" The girl pulled away from her as if she couldn't stay near a bumpkin who doesn't know what's an artifact.

Liang Mei finally found out what it is and she couldn't be more shocked. A space artifact made and sold my a student of the Dragons Bane accadamy.

When she came back and gave her father the food, she is in a complete daze. Touching the place where her jade pendant was sitting quietly in an illusory manner because only she can see it.

Amelia has learned and taught others how to make such a precious thing. It turns out the ones she saw were all low level space artifacts, apparently there is a space artifact that is created by engraving a space rune into any object.

A regular bag can be turned into an artifact with a space bigger than a football field. By the time she made it to the hospital she had soft legs. Amelia is truly bold! To do such a thing. Is she not afraid she will be hunted and kidnapped by greedy people?

Liang Mei booked a room for her father and stayed behind to look after her mother. The room is a bit pricey but when she remembered they serve spirit food, she paid and left.

The pill is in front of Liang me in less than 12 hours which shows Amelia's proficiency in making pills. In truth she made the first batch in less than two hours and the pill she gave Liang Mei is only medium high grade.

She has a superior high grade batch of 15 pills in her space. "Now, lets talk price."

"Don't go too far." Seeing the hooligan like smile on Amelia's face Liang Mei became alert.

"Come down, I just one a branch of a tree in your space."

Not only Liang Mei but also Blake became surprised by this odd request. Liang Mei widened her eyes.

"What game are you playing Amelia?" She asked sharply.

"No games just go into your place and break a large branch of the tall tree. You'll know you have the right one when it produces colorless juices that sparkle in the light where you broke it from the main stree. Bring me what I want and you can save your mom." Amelia played with the bottle of pills in her hand.

Liang Mei entered her space and came back out. She could feel in her instincts that this is something valuable but she doesn't have a choice. One more day and her mother will die.

"What is it?" She asked Amelia after giving her the large branch.

Amelia smiled and took it from her. "Answer me!" She didn't let go of the tree branch but Amelia just threw the bottle of pills in the air. Liang Mei had to decide whether to let go and catch the bottle or let it shatter on the ground.

The heroine is as weak as always. She let the tree branch go and caught the bottle in the air. "It's something good. Bye now." Smiling, she waved at Liang Mei.

"Ma'am this way." Blake appeared next to Liang Mei and showed her out like a gentleman.

When she was gone, Blake looked at Amelia who is planting the immortality juice tree in her space with her mind.

This stuff can not be found in the upper realms. When she read that in the second volume Liang Mei had such a good thing, she grinded her teeth in envy.

From now on, everything she makes will never rust, become scrap metal of decay. Infact, when the level is high enough, armor that is soked in this liquid will become sturdier. As someone who can make armor and weapons. It is a great feeling when your weapon promises to stay new forever.

What's more, metals soaked in this liquid will lighten the material depending on the age of the tree. A thousand year old immortality juice will make any hard material flexible while retaining its metallic properties.

It is not only used for hard objects. Even a dress bought and then soaked in this juice will never be torn or get old.

Some wealthy families use it to preserve corpses. This tree juice does not work on living things.

The future is bright. Amelia hummed and left the room. Blake followed her into the sitting area. Instead of sitting in front of her he sat next to her in the same couch. He took her hand and gave it a lingering kiss.

"You look so pretty when you're happy." He said in a husky voice. Amelia pulled her hand back.

"You're fishing. Just ask directly."

"What is the dripping tree used for?"

"I will tell you if it grows in my space. There is no point if it doesn't." Amelia avoided the question.

"Can I cook for you tonight? It's spirit food." He asked looking into her eyes. He knows she loves it when he cooks for her but she pretends otherwise.

"I can eat." She has grown used to him over the years. Amelia is even okay with his small gestures. He says he is waiting for her but she doubts he will continue waiting any longer. Many dainty looking women have emerged from the DB academy.

How long can he hold on until he agrees to one of them since they confess to him avery other day? Amelia is adopting a wait and see policy.

While Amelia is eating and flirting, Liang Mei is waiting for her mother to wake up. They went to sleep and the next morning Mrs Liang woke up. A few hours later they traveled back to their island.

Liang Mei spent some time taking care of her mother who is no longer speaking the inner most truth of her heart. As soon as Mrs Liang was back to full health Liang Mei went into seclusion.

Amelia and Blake continued their daily routine of morning training using their powers. The training is brutal. If not for the seed of undying resurrecting them, they would have dies a hundred times over in each others hands.

They are both learning from the fights though. Their understanding for their respective powers have allowed them to be on the verge of forming their nascent soul.

Amelia spent nearly over a century to reach this stage in her previous life but she only got there in half a dacade in this life, of course it is because of the abundant spiritual materials in her hands and the fact she is able to practice and comprehend her own power to gain enlightenment.

This night she is taking Blake to breakthrough in an Island far away from humans.

The formation to deal with the heavenly lightning have been upgraded by a factor of 8. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem but this is the heavens...nothing is absolute.

The heavenly thunder became purple halfway through. Amelia knows this is the challenge of the inner demons and just on que, she saw her parents.

Unlike in the dream, they are cursing her. She had already expected to be gutted and served medium rare. However, she had seen her father in this life encouraged his wife to abuse her. Amelia already knows she is unloved and unwanted.

Spending the enterety of her last life thinking she wasn't deserving of family and to be loved, she has already felt the chill of the abyss. Passing this stage Amelia then saw her dear friend and her fiance, she cursed inwardly.

Amelia watched the two people get married and have children. She smirked knowing they won't be having any babies because she killed them. She listened to them say how undesirable she is and if it wasn't for her special physique no one would take a second look at her.

Amelia just found peace in their words. She is Amelia and whether other people find her desirable is not her problem. The important thing is whether she is happy with herself.

Living alone these years with no friends or boyfriends, she can say that she is happy with herself and the next person she lets into her life will be because she wants to, and it will not be out of desperation for companionship, or out of need for family. She will be fine if no one comes into her life and she will be fine if she finds someone else to spend time with.

As the last resort, the image of her master showed up. He is talking and sneering with other powerful people saying he was glad to be rid of her.

Amelia just smiled. "My master loves me. Even if this is him and he didn't want me anymore, I will be happy for the lessons he gave me." Amelia thought with resolve and the purple thunder which is not physically violent dissipated and a small version of Amelia came out of her head jumping around pulling her hair.

After a while of playing it burrowed into her sea of consciousness and started playing with the origin energy drops inside.

The little thing started eating the origin drops one by one making Amelia's nascent soul advance three levels just after reaching nascent soul realm. Blake's eyes couldn't help but bulg in surprise. Everything he has read so far doesn't support what is happening in front of him.

Amelia mentally face palmed when she saw more then half of the gold drops disappear into the little guy's small belly. What a glutton.

She spent more time stabilizing her power but there was not much to do. The little guy fell asleep after eating and Amelia is left by her lonesome to deal with the consequences.

Next was Blake's turn. As a person with heart of slaughter, he had a stip road when it came to internal demons, luckily Amelia had briefed him about what to expect. Blake is a very stable guy. He passed his test just as fast as Amelia.

When they felt the tremendous power of nascent soul inside of them, they couldn't believe it. As if they can read each other's minds, they drew their weapons and clashed in the air.

Amelia's pleasant laughter sounded for mile around the open sea. They are fighting but the two of them are very happy in this moment. This feeling can only be understood by other powerful people.

Outside the Jiangkang base a year later.

"Do you think she will meet with us?" Many hovering vehicles parked outside the base the drivers are requesting audience with the base leader.

The people here are the Qing family, the Wei brothers and a man named Jun who is responsible for a large territory in the South of the country. That place is dominated by dry lands, scorpions, snakes and sand. A lot of sand infact.

"Amelia will definitely be moved by how miserable our people have been in the last couple of months. She will help." Wei Lin said with a voice that is between convincing himself and convincing the others.

"Right...the woman who took every grain inside the Qin family because they offended her will care about our people?" Another person from the Liu family in G city added sarcastically.

"You don't know her, so don't jump into conclusions just yet." Amelia's little cousin said from the side.

These people have traveled to seek the technology for manufacturing the barrier from Amelia. Six months ago, mutated animals became more intelligent. Land creatures grew wings. Small insects became a nightmare.

They need the barrier to cover from these mutated animals, zombies are practically history now, only those very powerful zombies who know to hide are still alive. The animals are no longer called that, they are now referred to as fierce beasts.

If there is no way to recreate the barrier, Jiangkang base will become the only safe haven in the country.
