NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 109 - Understand a little
“Treat your sister?”
Hearing Liu Meng’s words, YouYu suddenly remembered—she had indeed mentioned her sister to him before.
He recalled her saying… her sister had been attacked by that giant centipede-like Negative Beast. The toxin had started spreading from her sister’s foot, and Liu Meng couldn’t heal it. She could only suppress it with her own mana.
As a result, her sister had remained in a coma ever since.
“…”
“No problem.”
After a moment’s thought, YouYu replied.
Back when he killed the centipede Negative Beast, he had already absorbed the negative emotions within its body and had automatically analyzed its toxins.
So… neutralizing those toxins was a simple matter. As long as he understood their composition, he could easily devise a solution.
With that in mind, YouYu casually pulled out a dark gold card from his pocket, handed it to Liu Meng, and said:
“This card is a temporary vessel I created. It contains a power formed from my negative emotions combined with your mana.”
“As long as you hold this card and use it the way you normally channel your mana when you’re beside your sister, it’ll take effect.”
“…Huh?”
Liu Meng let out a disbelieving gasp. It took her a while to process his words before she finally responded:
“I-Is it really that simple, YouYu?”
“Yeah, it is. Once you grasp this kind of power, healing someone isn’t that difficult. A single card infused with power is enough.”
“…I see. I thought I’d have to bring you to my sister in person to heal her.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
YouYu shook his head.
While he could certainly do that, involving Liu Meng’s family directly might lead to unnecessary complications…
For now, he preferred not to include ordinary people in his plans. This simple method was more convenient.
After a brief silence, Liu Meng spoke again, her tone filled with gratitude:
“No matter what… thank you, YouYu. If my sister really wakes up and can walk again… I don’t think I’ll ever know how to repay you.”
“Ah, you don’t have to say that. I only have the ability to heal your sister because of you. After all, this power I possess now… I gained it with your help.”
Looking at her, YouYu spoke sincerely:
“If anyone should be grateful, it’s me.”
“After all, during this time… you’ve been the one taking care of me. The fact that I’m still alive is thanks to you.”
“…I guess that’s true.”
“…”
Hearing his words, Liu Meng fell silent once more.
Eventually, as if she had come to some realization, she stood up and smiled at YouYu:
“Alright, alright… Let’s not dwell on such heavy topics anymore! YouYu, you must be hungry, right? Is there anything you’d like to eat?”
“Or… the same as before?”
Stunned for a moment, YouYu smiled as well:
“The same as before, Liu Meng.”
“Mm!”
Nodding with a smile, Liu Meng headed toward the kitchen.
“…”
Watching her leave, recalling her smile just moments ago, YouYu grew contemplative.
It seemed the progress with Liu Meng was coming along nicely.
Next, after some more time, once the moment was right… he could consider whether or not to reveal himself to them.
“So, YouYu, is this the plan you had in mind all along?”
Just as YouYu was lost in thought, Mamba’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Snapped out of his thoughts by Mamba’s voice from within, YouYu paused and asked:
“What plan?”
“The plan you’re carrying out now—deceiving them to steal their power.”
Mamba paused briefly, then added with a hint of resentment:
“Honestly, YouYu… I didn’t expect you to control these magical girls’ mana so perfectly, even wielding power strong enough to fight Gray Shadow.”
“No wonder you devised such a plan… After all, when you can’t fully unleash your own strength, their power is indeed more useful than mine.”
“Uh, Mamba, you shouldn’t say that… The reason I can utilize their mana so well is because of this body you modified. If it weren’t for your enhancements, how could I manage it?”
YouYu patiently explained:
“Besides, you’ve always been optimizing the negative emotions in my body, haven’t you? Without that, I wouldn’t have this kind of power now.”
“So, there’s no need for you to feel down about it.”
“…I’m not exactly down. Just a little annoyed, that’s all.”
After a brief pause, Mamba replied.
“Oh… is that so…”
“It’s just that in some matters, I really can’t be of much help.”
Sighing, Mamba continued:
“Anyway, YouYu, since you have your plan, just go ahead and execute it. I won’t pry too much.”
“If anything unexpected happens, I’ll protect you.”
“Mm.”
“…”
As Mamba’s voice gradually faded, YouYu stared at the untouched glass of water before him. After a long silence, he reached out, picked it up, and drained it in one gulp.
Just then, Liu Meng’s voice called out from the kitchen—
“YouYu!”
“Hurry, hurry! Come give me a hand. Toss those vegetables into the pot, I’m a bit tied up here!”
“Ah! Coming!”
Hearing her voice, YouYu let out an inexplicable sigh, then stood up and quickly ran over to her.
Once at her side, YouYu resumed his usual role, helping Liu Meng with the essential prep work.
“…”
“Whew…”
After finishing the tasks at hand, Liu Meng glanced at YouYu somewhat sheepishly and said:
“Sorry, YouYu… Looks like there was another mishap. I was supposed to let you rest, but I ended up bothering you again.”
“It’s fine, just a small thing.”
YouYu shook his head, looking unconcerned.
“Rather than worrying about that, let’s finish up quickly. It’d be a shame if the food spoiled because we talked too long.”
“You’re right.”
Sighing, Liu Meng and YouYu focused on their work without further chatter…
However, Liu Meng couldn’t help but steal glances at YouYu out of the corner of her eye.
As she looked at him, she couldn’t help but think:
“So, this is the YouYu that WuYue and Bai Yu engage with?”
“No wonder they always act that way…”
Now, she could finally understand a little of how they felt.
