Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Healing Ability
Han Jiaojiao has been feeling especially comfortable these past few days.
She didn’t know if it was because of her injury, but Han Yi had been almost meticulously attentive and responsive to her every request during this time. In the past, Han Yi was also good to her, but his kindness was more like that of a parent towards a child, with clear boundaries and principles. Once she did something wrong, he would still sternly "teach" her a lesson.
Now, however, things were different. Han Yi’s indulgence towards her had no bottom line, complete tolerance and forbearance, even if she was deliberately temperamental, Han Yi wouldn’t get angry.
Jiaojiao suddenly really felt like she had become the "mistress of the house."
She was so happy!
Most importantly, her brother had been staying at home with her all these days and hadn’t gone to see Qin Nanyi or Professor Duan anymore.
Zhan Rong did come to look for Han Yi twice, but each time he only talked with everyone in the living room on the first floor for a while before leaving with a gloomy expression, as if he was very troubled.
Lu Changyuan, Yan Xiao, and Xiao Jian became busy, almost always leaving early and returning late. Jiaojiao had asked once, and Han Yi only said they were out on business but didn’t tell her the details.
Han Jiaojiao wasn’t the type with excessive curiosity, so she didn’t mind and continued living her life of eating, drinking, and sleeping.
In fact, she felt that her injury wasn’t as serious as everyone thought. Whenever the fracture site started to hurt, she would subconsciously use her Ability to heal it.
To call it healing might not be accurate, after all, she was simply stimulating the molecules in her body to be more active. Although she wasn’t clear on the principle behind it, it was indeed effective. Every time she used her Ability, the wound would feel comfortable, without itch, pain, or swelling.
Jiaojiao guessed that perhaps it was because 70% of her body was water, and her Ability changed the properties of the water, thereby enhancing the body’s recovery function, which is why the wounds healed better?
She remembered that in her previous life, Xiaogua and Xiaodou would often get hurt while hunting. To maintain excellent flexibility and extensibility, it was destined that their vines wouldn’t be sturdy and strong. Scratches, cuts, claw wounds, bites... However, none of these injuries left marks on the vines. After each injury, their recovery ability was astonishingly fast.
Was her Ability related to this?
Could it be that she had all the abilities that a Space-Time Beast possessed? 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Han Jiaojiao reached out and poked Xiaogua’s head, and its whole body wobbled, making a series of cooing sounds.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t speak, or else she could have asked them.
Jiaojiao thought to herself that others’ Abilities were divided into four major categories: enhancement, control, transformation, and spiritual. What category would her Ability, which was directly inherited from an alien creature, fall under? Alien class? Biological class? Ha...
In her previous life, the Healing Ability was a new Ability derived from the Self-Healing Ability within the enhancement category.
As the Self-Healing Ability Users reached the later stages of growth, it slowly developed into an Ability that not only could heal oneself but also aid others in self-healing. It was somewhat similar to the effect of life force transfer. —After an Ability User treated the injured, they would themselves sustain a certain level of harm. If severe, their body would become extremely weak, their immune system, as well as various body functions, would significantly decline, and it would take a long time to slowly recover.
Although the price was high, the benefits were greater. For example, certain fatal injuries could receive timely relief. Most importantly, the Healing Ability wasn’t limited to any type of disease; in other words, it could cure all illnesses. Of course, the more serious the illness, the greater the cost, and it was possible for Ability Users to lose their lives during treatment.
Han Jiaojiao seriously thought about it and, after considering it comprehensively, felt that her own Ability was better.
Although it wasn’t as immediately effective as a professional Healing Ability User, it had strong sustainability, and there were also no side effects.
The more she thought about it, the happier Jiaojiao became, and she decided to practice diligently in this area.
Holding Xiaogua in her hand, she said with a smile, "What other tricks do you have? Let me learn from you all."
Xiaogua cooed twice, and two green vines wrapped around her wrist and swung her in a swing, having the time of its life. Just like in her previous life, it was the one most eager to come out of the ground. In another couple of days, Xiaodou should also be coming out.
Han Jiaojiao laughed as she watched the Space-Time Beast swing back and forth on her wrist, imagining how lively the house would be if all four of them were out...
When Yu Wanxi came in, she caught that very scene. The corner of her eyes twitched imperceptibly; she feigned composure while carrying in a bowl of soup.
Even though she had seen it several times before, Yu Wanxi was still somewhat afraid of that thing. To her, Xiaogua looked hardly different from an octopus.
Yu Wanxi still remembered the time when the Space-Time Beast suddenly ran down from the rooftop, and Yan Xiao immediately cried out, "Tentacle monster!"
...Wasn’t it just a tentacle monster? Even octopuses didn’t have as many tentacles...
When Han Jiaojiao saw Yu Wanxi enter, she quickly grabbed Xiaogua and threw it to the ground, saying with a laugh, "That smells great! Let me wash my hands before having some."
With that, she dashed out, leaving Yu Wanxi staring down at Xiaogua.
Well, actually, Yu Wanxi had no idea where its eyes were...
Yu Wanxi set the bowl down on the table with slight unease, and Xiaogua immediately crawled over curiously. It nudged its head close to the rim of the soup bowl.
Yu Wanxi dared not move an inch.
She watched the twelve "tentacles" on Xiaogua’s body intently, terrified it would suddenly stick one into her soup!
Fortunately, it only sniffed the soup before letting out a disdainful "grumble..." and, flicking its tendrils, climbed out the window. It looked like it was heading to the rooftop to play with its siblings.
Yu Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Jiaojiao quickly returned and started sipping the soup from the table little by little.
Recently, to help Han Jiaojiao heal her bone injury, Han Yi had changed the afternoon snacks from fruit to bone broth, saying that you replenish what you ingest. Presumably, drinking more bone broth could help Han Jiaojiao’s bones heal faster.
As Yu Wanxi had made broth many times before, she had developed a knack for it, making it fresh, fragrant, and not at all greasy.
Originally, her culinary skills were limited to home-cooked meals, but recently Han Yi had honed them. She pored over recipes every day, creating a variety of dishes for Han Jiaojiao.
Yu Wanxi had never seen anyone so tender towards a woman... although, she had seen such care given to a child.
As she watched Han Jiaojiao lower her head to drink the soup, with her cute, flushed face, plump pink cheeks, and the creamy white skin of her neck—a sly red mark at her collarbone—Yu Wanxi blushed, thinking that no wonder Han Yi coddled her like a child, she really was a child that called for pampering...
If Yan Xiao knew what Yu Wanxi was thinking, he would definitely spit in disdain and protest: Sister Wanxi! You haven’t seen her fierce side while wielding a knife!
Han Jiaojiao had just finished her soup when she heard someone calling her name from downstairs. She leaned out to look through the window and saw Tian Xinyue waving at her.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Xinyue, come on up!"
Han Jiaojiao waved to Tian Xinyue and ran to the third floor, where Yu Wanxi heard her threaten in a commanding tone, "Stay put! You are not allowed to come downstairs for an hour!"
Then Han Jiaojiao hurried downstairs, and in her rush, the arm in a cast brushed against a corner. Yu Wanxi felt her heart leap out of her chest, and she closed her eyes in near despair, saying, "...Little Miss, please take it easy..."
Han Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "Sister Wanxi, how come you’re starting to sound like Yan Xiao? Haha!"
