Frostine’s body was burning hot, and she was sweating profusely. Her face and body were extremely red as if she was being steamed alive. Her breathing was rather rapid as well.
The old lady frowned as she watched Alex sweep her porcelain collection off to the floor. She was about to snap when they shattered into three small pieces but then noticed Frostine’s white, long tail.
In that instant, the old lady’s eyes lit up, seemingly excited. After that, she couldn’t care less about those porcelain sets anymore.
“She… She is…” Her voice was trembling as she reached out, trying to touch Frostine’s tail. However, Alex blocked her hand with his body.
Seeing just how critical Frostine’s condition was, he didn’t dare to hesitate any further and inserted some of his Chi into her. Hoping that this would soothe her current symptoms for now.
Just then, the old lady yelled at him fiercely. Her voice sounded like thunder. “Stop it! Are you trying to kill her?”
Alex jumped from surprise. He didn’t expect an elderly to be able to yell at such a loud volume.
Smack!
The old lady rushed over and slapped Alex’s hand off harshly, scolding him. “You have no idea what you’re doing, so stop trying to make things worse! What would you do if you killed her or disable her bloodline entirely? She’s the hope of our sect!”
“She is my godsister.”
The old lady huffed coldly. “She‘s not your godsister anymore. She’s the sect master of our Plenilune Sect.”
Alex fell silent then asked, “Granny, do you know something?”
‘Would Frostine even end up like this if it weren’t for your sect?’
The old lady noticed that Alex was unwilling to leave Frostine here and let out a sigh. “Alright, you can come with me. As for the rest of you, do not follow me.”
The old lady then walked toward the back of the place.
One of the elders of the Plenilune Sect seemed to have realized where she was heading off to. “Madame Coufal, that is a sacred area of the sect You’re not ranked high enough to enter.”
‘So the old lady’s name is Serene Coufal.’ Alex thought.
However, she huffed once again and wiped her face clean. “What about now?”
