Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to overcome anything, and there was nothing he’d be afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn’t possibly exist.The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things that weren’t one’s weak point.Whenever something involved Xyla Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second…Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that Xyla had been afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, and she might leave him forever.In fact, Stanley didn’t even dare to think about what would become of him if Xyla was no longer with him.Xyla was his life.She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.How would he live without her?“Honey… I want to go home… I don’t like being in the hospital,” Xyla said softly.Xyla didn’t like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.“Alright…” Stanley replied softly. He casual
Soon, Xyla Quest started silently praying for herself.She prayed that she would be healthy and well.She also prayed that she could stay next to Stanley Batton for a longer time…Soon, the dizziness swept over her once more.Xyla subconsciously opened her eyes…However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the dizziness faded away.Her illness was really strange.Since the dizziness faded away so quickly, Xyla decided not to bring it up.Since they couldn’t discover anything at the hospital, she had no reason to tell Stanley.What was wrong with her? Xyla really wanted to know.How long had it been since she last felt dizzy and nauseous?This was already the third time she felt this way…“What’s the matter?” Sensing that Xyla was lost in thought for a moment, Stanley turned off the hairdryer and asked.“Nothing…” Xyla shook her head.By then, Xyla’s hair was already dry. Her black, curly hair naturally fell by her waist. Under the light, she seemed to be aglow.Her face with
“Do you think it might be related to your X-ray vision?” Stanley Batton asked.Stanley’s words immediately shocked Xyla Quest… Xyla suddenly started suspecting that it might just be the case.Her symptoms only started after she acquired the X-ray vision.Was this a coincidence?It didn’t seem that way…The X-ray vision was very mystical, and it couldn’t be explained by science at all.Meanwhile, Xyla’s illness was also the same.It didn’t seem impossible for the two to be related.Otherwise, why would Xyla be like this?“Now that you mention, I do think it’s possible…” Xyla said.Back then, Xyla was also exposed to information about X-ray vision in television dramas and novels.In those works of fiction, people who had X-ray vision would use a lot of energy to utilize it.Once they used up the energy, problems would begin to arise in the protagonists’ bodies.Although Xyla knew that it was all made up, she didn’t think she necessarily needed to dismiss it completely…Ho
Yaksha was wearing a white overall.Due to the broad outfit, it made him appear unusually thin.When a breeze with a thick medicinal scent blew over, it entered Xyla Quest’s nostrils.Although the scent was overwhelming, Xyla didn’t feel bothered by it.That was because she had already gotten used to it.When Yaksha saw Xyla and Stanley Batton, he immediately smiled naturally… After that, Yaksha quickly walked up to them and bowed deeply to the two of them.Seeing this, Xyla instantly helped Yaksha up. “Don’t do this… You’re older than us. We really can’t bear it…”Although Yaksha said that he was indebted to Xyla’s family, Xyla felt that an old man shouldn’t behave so humbly toward her regardless of the favor that had been done for him.Besides, he was indebted to her family and not her.Yaksha smiled. “I’m indebted to your family… You must accept the way I treat you… Besides, it’s what I should do anyway.”Xyla immediately shook her head. “Don’t say that… You’re indebted
Yaksha continued to examine Xyla Quest for approximately ten minutes.Ten minutes later, Yaksha slowly let go of Xyla.He didn’t start speaking immediately. Instead, he subconsciously looked around.After making sure that nobody was around, he looked at Stanley Batton. “Can you go out for a while? There’s something I want to tell her privately…”There were things Yaksha wasn’t sure if Xyla had told Stanley. Hence, he needed Stanley to step away.When Stanley heard this, he immediately stood up. “Alright,” he said.Xyla instantly looked at Stanley. “You don’t have to leave,” she said.No matter what it was, Xyla didn’t want to keep it from Stanley. That was because there was no reason to do so.With that, Xyla looked at Yaksha. “He’s my husband, and he has the right to know everything… There isn’t any secret between us. Hence, you can just say whatever you want to tell me,” Xyla said.Yaksha nodded after hearing this. He intentionally lowered his voice. “Have you encountered an
Xyla Quest had never heard of this in real life.However, due to her own sufficiently mystical experiences, Xyla found the things Yaksha mentioned somewhat acceptable.“Meanwhile, your recent experiences of dizziness and even directly passing out is all because you’re close to using up all the spiritual energy in your body.“If you don’t receive treatment as soon as possible, you’ll die once your spiritual energy is used up,” Yaksha continued to warn Xyla. “Hence, I hope you won’t keep anything from me… Even if everyone in the world betrays you, I will never…”Hearing this, Xyla and Stanley Batton both became extremely concerned.“How were you able to identify all this?” Xyla immediately asked.Yaksha smiled calmly. “That’s because I couldn’t find anything wrong with your body from your pulse… That’s why I concluded that if there were a problem, it’d surely be due to these reasons…“People who are running out of spiritual energy display the symptoms that you have…” Yaksha added.
“Even if you don’t use it, it’ll silently absorb the spiritual energy in your body… And when you start using it, it’ll absorb even more greedily… “If you use the X-ray vision frequently, your spiritual energy will be depleted very quickly. Using it three times is enough to use up a quarter of your spiritual energy…“Hence, I suggest that you go to places like mountain areas and rivers to absorb earthly spiritual essence twice a day for an hour if you use the X-ray vision frequently…“When you’re not using the X-ray vision, you can sit in a place with mountains and rivers for an hour bi-weekly… That way, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Yaksha explained carefully with an earnest look in his eyes.Xyla Quest immediately understood after listening to what he said.She quickly jotted down everything Yaksha mentioned in her phone’s notes app.After recording everything, she turned to look at Yaksha. “In that case, is there any way for me to check how much spiritual energy I have left
Xyla Quest could sense that Yaksha was avoiding her question, and he was trying to divert her attention…However, since he didn’t want to talk about it, Xyla knew that he wouldn’t tell her no matter how she asked him.Hence, Xyla changed the topic right away. “In that case, let me ask you something else… I’ve seen in novels and television dramas that spiritual energy is used for cultivation.“Once someone acquires enough spiritual energy, one would be able to turn into a saint… Meanwhile, with enough saint energy, one could become a deity and live forever…“I wonder if that happens in the real world?” Xyla asked.“That isn’t far off from reality, but you still can’t start cultivating yet…” Yaksha said.To be honest, Xyla didn’t want to become a deity all that badly. She was only asking these questions out of curiosity.However, after hearing what Yaksha said, she became even more curious.“Why?” Xyla asked.“I’ll tell you about this next time…” Yaksha didn’t answer her questio
