“Have you found a way to save Grandpa, Ashton?” Kayla’s expression lit up as soon as she saw Ashton walk in. She quickly reached for Ashton, her eyes brimming with hope and unwavering trust.
“Of course!” Ashton exclaimed with a grin, producing the Septem–Leaf Ganoderma that he had secured from George.
“It is so rich in spiritual energy!” Neil exclaimed, looking at Ashton with newfound respect.
He knew such an item was beyond the reach of most people. He had exhausted every resource and contact he had to find a cure for Lawrence’s damaged divine soul, all to no avail.
Ashton, however, had managed to bring back the precious Septem–Leaf Ganoderma after being gone for only a single day.
“You’re incredible, Ashton!” Kayla threw herself into his arms. Her feelings for him had shifted entirely to the point where she was now comfortable with engaging in intimate gestures with Ashton.
She held him close, simply enjoying the security he provided with no sense of discomfort.
Upon feeling Kayla’s supple, toned body against his, Ashton’s Drakell technique surged violently. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was really that desperate to give in to him.
He lowered his head slightly and murmured, “You should probably make good on one of those three times you promised to sleep with me once Mr. Clarkson Senior recovers.”
Upon hearing the raw masculinity in Ashton’s voice, Kayla shivered and quickly pulled away. She blushed deeply as she shot him a look of embarrassed indignation. She could feel her heart hammering against her chest as she considered his proposition.
Surprisingly, she was no longer truly opposed to being with him. She was breathing heavily as she murmured, “You should wake Grandpa up first!”
Ashton nodded in agreement and approached Lawrence. He then took out 18 silver needles and proceeded to drive each of them into Lawrence’s vital acupoints.
He activated the Ninefold Arcane Technique and employed his Sovereign Flame to liquify the Septem–Leaf Ganoderma. He then used his spiritual energy to drive the liquid through the needles and deep into Lawrence’s body.
Ashton’s eyes flickered with black flames as he concentrated, carefully wrapping the spiritual energy of the Septem–Leaf Ganoderma around Lawrence’s damaged divine soul–all while manipulating the Ninefold Arcane Technique to maximize its healing effect.
In the meantime, as the minutes went on, Lawrence eventually absorbed all the medicinal properties of the Septem–Leaf Ganoderma–though he didn’t stir and remained in a persistent state of sleep.
Ashton furrowed his brow, knowing very well that Lawrence should have regained consciousness at this point, especially given the circumstances. He shouldn’t have remained completely unconscious like this.
“Why isn’t Grandpa awake yet? Did something go wrong, Ashton?” Kayla asked worriedly, her features drawn tight from anxiety.
Neil’s countenance grew grave again.
Ashton himself was confused, wondering why the treatment hadn’t yet taken effect.
It was then that a weathered but powerful voice rang out inside Ashton’s Sea of Consciousness. “I have awakened, Ash!”
Ashton’s heart skipped a beat, knowing very well that the voice belonged to Lawrence. However, he remained composed as he turned toward the bed, where Lawrence was still acting as though he were unconscious.
He couldn’t help but wonder why he was concealing his awakening.
