Chapter 396 Heavenly Master 103 Six Thousand Words Large Chapter_4
However, not letting her daughter's feet and tongue grow back would be even more cruel to her future. So Mr. Zhu, after a brief hesitation, gritted his teeth and made up his mind. It was better to suffer once than to suffer for a lifetime. Trying brought hope, while not trying meant no hope at all. Mr. Zhu decided to let Situ Shuangshuang perform a ritual to help his daughter settle the scores!
Seeing that Mr. Zhu agreed, Situ Shuangshuang naturally had no more concerns and began to prepare for the ritual. Before starting, she used vermillion to draw talismans all over Zhu Yanling's body.
Once the talismans were drawn, Situ Shuangshuang reached out to hold Zhu Yanling's severed leg and then released mana to communicate with the talismans drawn on Zhu Yanling's body. In an instant, the talismans all over Zhu Yanling's body came to life!
The talismans, which seemed to have come to life, squirmed towards the severed positions of Zhu Yanling's feet, gathering more and more until they burrowed into the stumps of her severed ankles!
As the talismans penetrated Zhu Yanling's severed legs, a piece of white bone grew out from the wound. Then, muscles and blood vessels slowly extended from the stump, wrapping around the white bone, and began to grow and stretch!
As the severed leg started to grow, Zhu Yanling's expression turned painful, and sweat covered her gaunt face! Having endured Wang Zhonghai's abuse for years, Zhu Yanling had an extraordinary tolerance for pain. Yet, despite this, she was still stimulated by the pain to the point of trembling all over, and could no longer resist opening her mouth wide and letting out a broken, hoarse scream.
Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhu Yanhua wept with heartbreak, but all they could do was step forward to hold down Zhu Yanling, who was starting to struggle from the pain, to prevent her from interrupting Situ Shuangshuang's spell and taking the pain in vain.
Though Zhu Yanling was in pain, Situ Shuangshuang had it hard too. When she started the ritual, she understood why, after all her research and thinking it was simple, so few Heavenly Masters could achieve this—it was simply because it consumed so much damn mana!
Situ Shuangshuang felt that every cell of Zhu Yanling was being forced to grow by the massive mana she poured in! How was this claiming a debt from the enemy?! This was claiming a debt from herself, the Heavenly Master! The mana consumed nearly equaled that of using the Nine-character Mantra!
What made Situ Shuangshuang almost burst into tears was that this spell had to be completed in one go, with no pauses allowed. Otherwise, not only would all efforts be in vain, but there would also be no more chances to reclaim the debt; that is to say, no matter the level, even a Grandmaster Level Heavenly Master who came to cast the spell wouldn't be able to regrow that foot!
Luckily, Situ Shuangshuang had not overestimated herself by trying to restore both of Zhu Yanling's feet at once. Now, with just one foot, Situ Shuangshuang felt she could just barely maintain her mana!
Situ Shuangshuang persevered, and so did Zhu Yanling, enduring the agony of her severed leg's rebirth. At first, she could still make some noise, but now her voice was hoarse, almost silent due to the screams. She didn't know how much cold sweat she'd shed, making her like she'd been rinsed with water! Her hair was soaked with sweat, sticking to her forehead in strands!
By the time one of Zhu Yanling's feet had completely grown back, Situ Shuangshuang's mana was thoroughly depleted! This consuming speed of mana was incredibly fast, knowing that Situ Shuangshuang, being reborn twice, had been purposefully expanding her meridians since childhood to maximize the absorption of spiritual power.
It's fair to say that although Situ Shuangshuang was just a Great Heavenly Master, the total amount of mana in her body was only slightly inferior to that of a Grandmaster. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to arrogantly cast the spell to reclaim Zhu Yanling's debt! Who knew it would deplete everything this time!
Next, Situ Shuangshuang spent another three whole days to completely restore both of Zhu Yanling's feet and tongue!
Simultaneously, miles away at the psychiatric hospital, Wang Zhonghai attempted to jump off the building to commit suicide once again, and this time, he surprisingly succeeded! However, he did not die as he had wished!
Because although Wang Zhonghai fulfilled his wish by jumping down from the seventh floor, he only ended up with his feet crushed into a mess of comminuted fractures! His body was otherwise untouched.
Moreover, just as the doctors were about to lift Wang Zhonghai onto the mobile stretcher to get him treated, he inexplicably fell uncontrollably headfirst to the ground, hitting his chin, which coincidentally caused him to carelessly bite off his own tongue! That severed piece of tongue flew quite a distance and was crushed by a passing patient's stretcher!
Faced with this bizarre scene, the doctors in the psychiatric hospital were quite terrified! Someone fell from such a height, yet was only injured in the feet, with no other injuries, and even tripped while getting onto a stretcher, absurdly biting off his own tongue!
This was truly inexplicable, and rumors of the hospital being haunted spread quickly. The hospital's management, fearing panic, strictly prohibited discussing the incident. Subsequently, they locked Wang Zhonghai, who lost both feet and tongue, together with Han Dong in a secluded little room—letting them howl day and night or seek death if they wished—the hospital would no longer treat them, only ensuring they wouldn't starve to death was enough.
While the hospital handled it this way, the two female ghosts seeking revenge were delighted. From then on, they relentlessly tormented Wang Zhonghai and Han Dong day and night, preventing them from taking their own lives, clearly intent on tormenting them to death as retribution!
The matter with Zhu Yanling took Situ Shuangshuang a whole seven or eight days to resolve. When she left, the Zhu Family offered her twice the reward they had offered for finding Zhu Yanling, allowing Situ Shuangshuang to earn a hefty sum! She left, overjoyed!
Upon returning home, Situ Shuangshuang's plan was, of course, to have a good meal with her master first, which she would cook, and then take a good rest for a while before anything else!
Situ Shuangshuang had planned well, but upon entering her home, she didn't see any sign of her master Chen Qi. Instead, she found a kid living in her house as if it were his own!
Cough, cough, of course, this "kid" was according to Situ Shuangshuang's age from her past life. In fact, this young man, dressed in a royal blue little suit, looked handsome and youthful, yet somewhat innocent, and seemed to be about two years older than her.
When this young man saw the suddenly entering Situ Shuangshuang, he was momentarily startled, then promptly handed her a letter.
Situ Shuangshuang opened it and found it was left by her master, saying that he was going to visit a friend for a while. The kid was his friend's grandson, who was about to attend university in the city and would be staying at her house, asking Situ Shuangshuang to take good care of him!
Situ Shuangshuang...
She was younger than this kid, for heaven's sake! Who should be taking care of whom! Also, with all those non-scientific items in their house, plus a resentful baby and a spirit-cultivating monster, was it really convenient to just bring in an outsider like this!
