“What is this?” Alex was shocked to see the blue ring of light around Dimitri.
He even noticed the smell of seafood… Or, rather, the sea around him.
Even Dimitri himself was stunned and confused. “I don’t know either, but… It smells like her.”
‘Her? Could he be talking about his mother, Sophia?‘
‘Could she still be alive and have crossed realms from the Chi universe?‘
In reality, there was nothing of the sort. The blue ring light was just a layer of protection, surrounding Dimitri’s body entirely.
A while ago, Dimitri’s soul was so dull and faint that he was rather hard to see. Yet now, he looked as if he was covered in blue paint, and people were able to clearly see his body and facial features… He was still quite odd to look at, but it would seem that he was an exquisite and handsome young man. He appeared to be Asian, and was much better looking than many celebrities within their country. Even Alex, who had claimed to be the most good-looking man in the universe, felt his heart skip when looking at Dimitri.
‘Damn, I’m jealous!’
“Where’s your mom?” Alex asked.
“She’s not here. This is just the most precious thing she left for me.” Dimitri said in a deep tone. “She had always been with me all along, protecting me in secret. And just as I was about to fade away, she showed up.”
Alex didn’t understand. “So you’re saying… This is your mother?”
Just as they were talking, a blue light appeared at the passage upfront, the exit to the cardiac acupoint. It then slowly approached the two. Upon closer inspection, Alex was shocked to find that it was a lotus flower. It was one of the three thousand flowers in his body, wandering about and ending up in this place. It seemed to be attracted to the blue light on Dimitri.
Just then, the flower went closer to Dimitri, growing its roots into his glowing body.
Whoosh!
Dimitri then disappeared, like he had been absorbed into the blue lotus, which made Alex gasp.
Just then, the flower waved gently and spoke. “Alex, you should go ahead and do what you need to do. With the divine power my mother left for me and this weird blue flower connected to me, my soul is safe for now. Maybe it’s nice that I get to have an actual flower body.”
Alex was now utterly stunned in place, his mouth left wide agape.
