Juvia had no idea that Alex merely used his gut instinct when casting the spell, and he didn’t actually know when her Life Substitution Spirit had entered Cheryl. Despite this, the sixth sense could be naturally accurate at times.
Finally, the trembling hot spring water became tranquil once again. The two then came back up to the water surface whilst still wading in the warm water.
Cheryl’s face was entirely beet red, including her body. Her black silky long hair was drenched, sticking to her neck and back. She rolled her eyes at Alex with a bashful expression. “You’ve really gone crazy today!”
“But it seemed to me that you enjoyed it a lot, though.”
“Hug me. I don’t want to think about anything for now.”
Alex hugged her tight while inspecting her body as well. He did, in fact, seal off the special blood in her, but that meant he was also sealing away her cultivation skills. Her skills had all originated from her blood, and having been sealed, her powers were gone too.
Because of this, she felt exceedingly tired at that time.
“Cheryl, remember the poisoned blood you injected yourself with? I’d like to tell you something, since I think you have a right to know.”
Alex then slowly explained to her about her relationship with the Undead Queen.
“Blood Bound?”
“No wonder I often see weird things.”
To Cheryl, the Undead Queen was still quite far away from them. Hence, she didn’t react much to this news.
Alex said, “Now that I’ve sealed the blood essence in you, it would be better from now on. And I think it’s a good thing that you lost your cultivation powers. The Undead Queen is mysterious and very powerful. Her powers aren’t yours, to begin with. We can just start over.”
Cheryl nodded, then asked, “Would I get pregnant?”
Alex froze. “I’m not sure. It depends on your cycle.”
“I think it’s possible. Should we do it again just in case?”
This was all to increase his own divine power, after all. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Alex himself was taken aback too. There were just too many people there, completely crowding up the area. Everyone started shouting in joy when Alex showed up.
“Silence! Silence!”
“I know that everyone came here to learn a few skills, to protect your homes.”
“I promise all of you that I will not be limiting my disciples. Everyone can learn Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation!”
With a wave of his hand, Alex opened up the gates to the Kala Temple. The huge crowd immediately started queueing up at the entrance.
Just then, a golden light shone through the skies, and someone seemed to have joined them as well.
“Amitabha! I’ve arrived again!”
