After Ira left, Jared felt she was actually not a bad person. She was a demon, yet she cared about the survival of those people in the village.
Jared sat quietly, slowly recalling everything that had happened when he was sucked into the black hole.
“I wonder where in the Ethereal Realm were Josephine and Feenix transported to...” Jared was somewhat worried.
“Master, Master!” At that moment, Zelda's voice sounded in Jared's mind.
“How are you, Zelda?” he hurriedly asked.
The sword spirit, Zelda, also suffered significant injuries.
“Master, I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to leave your body to protect you for the time being,” Zelda said.
“Take a good rest. When I recover some strength, I'll find Master Hammerhead to let Sworder help repair you in the sword-cleansing lake,” Jared consoled Zelda.
“Master, your aura is very weak now. You need to take care of your body, too,” Zelda expressed her concerns.
At that moment, Emily entered the room with a bowl of hot soup. Thus, Jared stopped conversing with Zelda. If Emily were to witness that scene, she would think he was mental.
“Jared, you've been unconscious for several days. Eat something to replenish your energy. I added some demon beast meat, which can enhance your physical strength. If Grandma finds out, she'll definitely scold me. Demon beast meats are supposed to be exchanged for spirit coins in the town,” Emily chirped at Jared.
Gratitude filled Jared's eyes as he looked at the innocent Emily. If it weren't for her, he would've died in the wilderness of Ethereal Realm.
Jared received the bowl of soup. Looking at the few pieces of demon beast meat inside, he said to Emily, “Emily, after I recover, I'll gift you an endless supply of demon beast meat and a mountain of beast cores.”
“You don't need to gift me anything, Jared. I just hope you can get better soon. I have to go hunting with Ali now. Otherwise, we'll starve.” With that, Emily turned around and left.
Following Emily's departure, Jared stayed inside the room to gradually recuperate.
