“The children possess strong spiritual energy. Not only can it protect them, but it also protects their mother. Xyla was probably fine because of this,” Yaksha explained.
Sharon Lindt felt even more confused. “What spiritual energy? Is this from a fantasy novel?”
She found all this hard to believe. She even suspected Yaksha might be a quack, but she had to admit that what happened to her grandchildren seemed mystical.
The things Yaksha said made some sense, but could the things in fantasy novels be true in real life?
She couldn't quite believe it.
Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to Yaksha, who was now focused on explaining his views to Sharon.
“Yes, it’s spiritual energy. Look, these aren’t ordinary children. They have their own spiritual energy, but it was dormant inside their mother’s womb. They weren’t as strong as they are now, and that’s why they couldn’t completely protect themselves against the poison.
“Hence, they were born prematurely,” he added.
“This-this is truly unbelievable. What happens to people with spiritual energy? Will they become saints?” Sharon asked.
“Yes.”
Her eyes went wide. “Are you serious? You aren't lying?”
Stanley glanced at his mother. “He’s speaking the truth. Listen to what he has to say first, and I’ll explain the details to you later.”
Taking a deep breath to remain calm, Sharon merely nodded as she waited for Yaksha to shed some light on this entire situation. Whatever she'd heard so far left her in awe, and she was curious to find out more.
Her grandchildren had some spiritual energy that could even be cultivated and lead them to become saints. Wasn’t that impressive?
Everything she'd found out and encountered today was beyond her understanding, so it could only be explained by mystical knowledge.
Yaksha began to speak again. “Everything I say is true. There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me.
“Judging from Xyla’s bloodshot eyes and the size of the cyst, there’s already a lot of poison inside her body. Logically speaking, she could’ve died after giving birth to her babies prematurely.
“However, she was lucky her children possessed spiritual energy that protected them, but it also protected Xyla as well.
“If they had not been inside her womb with very low levels of spiritual energy, Xyla might have been able to deliver her babies at full term,” he explained.
Right then, Sharon had an even more surprised expression.
Her grandchildren were impressive. Not only were they able to protect themselves, but they were even able to protect their mother.
“Are my grandchildren this powerful? It’s unbelievable! I can’t believe it, but I have to. I’m sure the demon must not be an ordinary demon to use this kind of poison. How did Xyla become associated with a demon?” she asked.
“I’ll let Stanley explain these things to you. I can’t say more," Yaksha replied. "Now, Stanley, you must do as I say.”
