Test of Loyalty [2]

Feng Tian who was facing the agony of the orbital wall was pale and has to control his breathing while circulating the energy from Zhen Xiu's body. He knew too well that it was going to happen but he wanted to correct his mistake by taking part in this torture willingly.

These orbital walls were way too deadly for a strong powerful force. Anything that is powerful and strong can be devoured by these walls. They were meant to suck everything in them.

These walls were specially designed by their god to punish and torture celestial spirits.

Feng Tian didn't know how his brother Feng Zhi created these walls here. He was the rare talent in their spirit world but for him, he left his position and agreed to venture in the mortal world.

Ultimately, the greed and desire in his mind and heart killed his brother that was so good to him.

It was his mistake. If his brother Feng Zhi was undertaking this task then he would not have felt anything from these walls as his celestial power was stable and stronger than him.

He controlled the movement of the energies coming out of Zhen Xiu's body and channeled them towards the center of the walls. It was a difficult task but he was dead set on completing it without failing the trust of Zhen Ying Yue.

I can do it.

He encouraged himself again and again when the overwhelming force covered him and was ready to devour him in its hole.

It was something that he ought to do and prove himself again in front of Zhen Ying Yue. This step was the crucial point in healing her. He has to maintain this pressure for the entire forty-eight hours to give her a new solid body compatible with her soul.

His entire body was drenched in cold sweat as he circulated the energy from Zhen Xiu to the orbital wall. The amulet left by Feng Zhi, his brother was enough to protect Zhen Xiu's body.

Only he would be losing his life if anything went wrong in this entire process.

Mother Zhen was standing at the door and was observing Feng Tian. She was not worried that he would do something foolish as to use the energy coming out of her daughter for his own benefit.

He was not that strong now. It will be a miracle if he came out of this alive after forming a new solid body for her daughter.

She was waiting for his demise. In her heart, there was no guilt or remorse for what she was doing against him. It was because he was the initiator of all these events and she wanted him to suffer even more than her daughter.

After all, his choices made these changes in her daughter. Mother Zhen left the room silently as she didn't want to see his painful expression while helping her in treating her daughter.

She was not a cruel woman despite doing all these things to him. Her heart was still not strong enough to see someone dying while assisting her. She didn't want to change her heart after watching his contorted face and his almost depleted strength.

It was tough on her watching a dear friend that turned out an enemy.

Inside the hall, Lu Jian and Shen Ya were trudging around without a break. They wanted to know about the new condition of Zhen Xiu after this entire day. Keeping their dislike for each other in a bag they were patiently waiting for Mother Zhen to come and give them some news regarding her.

Everything that they heard in the previous day was not something usual that can be digested easily. Zhen Xiu's condition could not be explained medically.

It was something magical more advanced than the science of this world.

A dead girl is able to live for twenty years in the form of a clone waiting for the true host to occupy the body. It was something unbelievable.

"I hope everything is alright inside." Shen Ya prayed.

Lu Jian nodded. "Don't worry! Mrs. Zhen is inside."

He assured her. His heart was not that calm like he was showing to Shen Ya. He was worried about her. He could not trust a stranger that took her away from him even if she was her mother.

Mother Zhen came inside and saw that these two were waiting for her. She knew that Shen Ya would be like this because of her relationship but she did not expect Lu Jian to be anxious for her daughter.

Yes, she had an idea about his sudden affection for his daughter but his present demeanor is not like a man who is casually interested in a woman. He looks like a man separated from his beloved for thousands of years.

If this was an act then Zhen Ying Yue would give him full five stars for giving this outstanding performance.

Well, if his feelings for her daughter is pure then she can only pray for him because she too was not aware of what would be her daughter's reaction after coming back to life.

"You should rest." Mother Zhen announced her presence.

Both the man and woman turned around and pointed their expected gaze on her. They were waiting to hear about Zhen Xiu. It was already too long to wait for her. They could not even see Feng tian behind her so it means that her treatment was on.

Now they want to know when would she wake up again.

"How is she?" Lu Jian asked her immediately without waiting for Shen Ya to ask this same thing.

Shen Ya pursed her lips in frustration for being cut in between.

"We are good." Shen Ya informed Mother Zhen. "Tell us! How is she now? When will she wake up?"

Lu Jian was expectantly waiting for her answer.

"She is undergoing the treatment. Her energies are way too powerful to be extracted in a day." Mother Zhen truthfully replied.

Lu Jian didn't like this answer but still patiently asked her, "When will she be fine then? Where is Dr. Feng?"

"He is treating her. Zhen Xiu, my daughter is not some weak human but she was a hybrid and her soul power is naturally stronger than us. It will take an entire weak to cure her completely."

"I want to see her." Lu Jian demanded. He could not wait that long while she is just near next door fighting for her life.

"Stop it! You can't enter inside the chambers." Mother Zhen sternly called him when she saw him marching towards the spirit chambers.
