My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 618: Reparation and Gratitude

Although according to reports, some of the disciples who returned from the extermination mission were injured, Elysia never expected Bai Yuchen, the young spear hero, would be wounded to the point that he had to be wrapped in spirit bandages like a living mummy.

Upon closer look, she noticed it wasn’t an unhealable injury, but the lingering debuff that slowed one’s recovery. Even the healing elixir would receive a drastic reduction in effect if the debuff was not lifted. The spirit bandage did its job to weaken the debuff, but the slowed-down recovery caused wounds that had been partially healed by healing magic and potion to leave behind spiritual pain and wounds.

"Hiss, please forgive me for appearing in this pathetic state, Lady Kitsune." Bai Yuchen hissed in pain as he moved to the courtyard, assisted by his muscular grandfather.

"..." Elysia, Yuuki, and Vanessa were speechless. Bai Yuchen previously spoke about his frail grandfather. Although he could no longer cultivate, his old body’s muscles were perfectly fine. This tiger might be a bit old, but he looked like a man who recently built his muscles at the gym or maybe heavy workload.

"Ho ho ho~ Yuchen finally caught the attention of beauties. Welcome to our White Studio!" Bai Chang laughed merrily, but he then caught the sight of a stripless white tigress.

It was the first time he met such a peerless white tiger, and if he judged it from the bloodline aura, she was obviously royalty from a renowned background! Upon that realization, he immediately put Bai Yuchen on the empty seat and bowed to the white tiger princess. "How rude of me to fail to recognize the white tiger royalty. Bai Chang greets the white tiger princess."

"Fufu, how polite of you. But, unfortunately, I’m no longer a royalty." Vanessa covered her mouth, chuckling gracefully.

The little white tiger boy who peeked out from behind the tree was amazed at the such a picturesque tigress beauty.

"This is the first time I’ve seen a stripless white tiger like you. May I know which clan you belong to, princess?" Bai Chang was surprised as he could see this white tiger princess had a tragic story, but he at least needed to know about what happened to his distant kin.

"Hmm~ my clan is no more." Vanessa faintly smiled at that. Sensing the heavy atmosphere, she immediately changed the topic. "You were part of the Bai, a famous clan in the east. Why did you leave such a big clan?"

"I’m sorry for your loss, princess. As for me, it doesn’t matter where I am. They won’t keep a useless old tiger like me around. I’m grateful that we can receive Sacred Sakura’s protection. It’s all thanks to my big boy, the pride of all white tiger clan." Bai Chang was also saddened, but since he knew the lady did not want to discuss it anymore, he immediately presented Bai Yuchen to the ladies.

"Hmm, but he is a fake white tiger. Maybe, a half-blood?" Yuuki closed one eye, focusing her insight to measure Bai Yuchen’s bloodline. It was so faint, but she could feel it was mixed blood.

"Yeah, that’s me. Bai Clan is a nest of bad guys. I belong to Sacred Sakura now. Anyway, Lady Kitsune... does your arrival signify the completion of my request?" Bai Yuchen stared at the little pouch on Lady Kitsune’s hands with sparkling eyes, expecting his long-awaited requested items to finally arrive.

His beautiful fox enthusiast was screaming with joy as two peerless nine-tailed fox sisters were present before his eyes, but a man got his priority straight, and he had to prioritize it before anything else.

"You’re still suffering from a debuff. Do you need my help?" Elysia offered.

"As much as I wished to receive your kindness, I need to suffer this repercussion. Three of the helper team died in the mission, and this kind of pain is nothing compared to those who died." Bai Yuchen smiled in self-deprecation.

"They went to heaven with honor. You should treat them with honors as they’re heroes. If you feel sad, train harder and become stronger. That’s the only way to protect those you wish to protect." Elysia put the little pouch on the table.

"Thank you for your advice, Lady Kitsune. What you said is true. If I were stronger, I should have been able to one-shot kill that demonic human bastard." Bai Yuchen clenched his fists.

"Hmm-mm." Elysia nodded in reply. Apparently, it wasn’t because the healer team couldn’t lift the debuff, but Bai Yuchen refused it. He wished to suffer a bit so he would remember the pain.

’I think, Lucius and that heaven-cherished daughter are perfectly fine.’ Elena couldn’t help but comment.

’Mm.’ Elysia nodded in agreement.

"Grandfather, this is a super-tier treasured pill that will repair your crippled dantian! Take it and you can cultivate again! Lil bro, come here and take this. This pill will assist you so you can embark on the path of cultivation!" Bai Yuchen shoved a pill box each to his grandfather and little brother with great enthusiasm.

"You... why did you go so far for this old bone? You need to keep such a precious treasure for yourself as your journey is still long." Bai Chang tried to refuse it, but Bai Yuchen was adamant.

"I want you to return to the cultivation path and to live a longer life, Grandpa. We’ve been through a lot, the bitter and sour of life, but we have yet to experience the savory and sweetness of life. Under Sacred Sakura, we must become stronger to protect those we cherish." Bai Yuchen shoved the super-tier treasured pill box into his grandfather’s hand.

He previously checked the box with his spiritual sense, and the awakening pill that could repair one’s crippled dantian and awaken one’s physique was inside. Concocted by the renowned tier-6, known as S Rank alchemist, Lady Kitsune herself, its effects were definitely beyond doubt.

"You know better about the law of the jungle. Bai Yuchen went through so many hardships and dangers for it, so why would you refuse it, Sir Bai Chang? Take it and consume it right away. It will be painful during the repair process, and I will be here to prevent the unexpected." Elysia rested her cheek on her hand, interrupting the shoving competition between Bai Yuchen and Bai Chang.

"..." Bai Chang pondered about it and sighed. Since his good adopted son wished him to struggle in the world for a while longer, then he would better accept the kindness.

What Lady Kitsune said previously was absolutely make sense. The law of the jungle was already ingrained deep in all beasts and beastkins. Only by becoming stronger could he protect his cherished ones.

Once Bai Chang reached the conclusion, he thanked Bai Yuchen sincerely, delivering a long speech saying that he wouldn’t trouble anyone anymore and would be a good old tiger who was useful and reliable.

Bai Liang also thanked his big bro and the beautiful fox alchemist.

The next moment, they sat cross-legged and consumed the super-tier awakening pill without the slightest hesitation.

At that very moment, the excruciating pain assaulted them from within, spreading throughout their bodies. The torture was almost unbearable, and they bit their lips until they bled a bit.

Fortunately, the painful stage only lasted for less than a minute until the soothing light basked them into a serene relief.

"Endure it and focus on the flowing energy throughout your body which then arrives at your dantians." Elysia cast her anti-pain spell. The little boy might endure it until the end, but the old tiger might die during the dantian reparation stage.

Bai Chang and Bai Liang did as they were told. Bai Yuchen bit his finger, feeling super anxious and worried, but he felt relieved after Lady Kitsune lent a helping hand. She was so thoughtful to assist his little bro and grandfather until the end.

Once the process was over, the light dimmed and a shockwave energy blasted Bai Chang and Bai Liang’s clothes, leaving only a shred of cloth to cover their crotch. The dirty impurities covered their bodies like tigers covered in mud.

The awakening was completed perfectly with Bai Chang and Bai Liang finally embarked on the cultivation path and ascended directly to the Qi Refinement Peak Stage, close to the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment.

"Sacred Sakura will be under defensive formation for a few days starting today. No disciples are allowed to leave during this period." Elysia got up from her seat.

"E-eh, what’s going on?" Bai Yuchen was about to express his gratitude, but the news shocked him.

"We’ll purge the heretics in three days. Rest and recover well if you want to participate in this major event." Elysia looked back once and walked away with Vanessa and Yuuki by her sides.

"Thank you for your reminder and kindness! We’re eternally grateful, Lady Kitsune!" Bai Yuchen knelt down to express his deep gratitude.

"You’re disciple, so call me elder." Elysia rebutted.

"Thank you very much, Elder Kitsune!" Bai Yuchen saluted.

Bai Chang and Bai Liang also expressed their gratitude. They even kowtowed to express it.

"Don’t mind it." Elysia just raised her hand in farewell and walked away as if it was no big deal.

Elysia brought Yuuki and Vanessa to the Sacred Mountain peak using instant teleportation right away, gathering with the big group who would go to Earth with her.

For safety reasons, everyone had to enter the Helven Realm, leaving only Elysia, Elena, and Gaia outside. The three of them looked at each other and nodded before holding hands. They teleported to outer space before warping to the distant universe where Earth was located.
