Chapter 1106 - 1102: DIAMOND’S SKILLS & SHAMELESSLY SETTING A DATE IN ADVANCE
Anyway, the reason why she didn’t use this skill, just like her other acquired skill – teleportation was because it consumes a lot of energy. She didn’t like the feeling of being powerless. So, unless she was forced, she wouldn’t recklessly use these skills at all.
This time, she didn’t have a choice but to use it. Why?
Because, she was an alchemist but not a doctor. Whilst she could concoct pills and sell them, she couldn’t diagnose a problem. She needed help.
However, to achieve that, she didn’t need other people with her. So, after admiring the young man, she turned to look at Madam Lim and seriously spoke, "Aunty, I am afraid that whatever I am about to do now, it can’t be seen by another party. I hope that you will understand," using it as her excuse for the other to make an exit.
Lim Ji-soo didn’t feel offended when she heard this. She had consulted a lot of people, from all walks and their means varied. Some, they performed their rituals or diagnosis in front of people, while for others, they acted like Diamond.
It was understandable, heaven secrets couldn’t be exposed.
"Sure. I will leave you to it. If you want something, I am outside," she readily agreed and didn’t bother to question the other.
Was it because of trust?
Not exactly.
But this room, there were several small cameras installed for safety’s sake. They couldn’t let their guard down.
Whatever happens inside the room, they can still see it.
Unfortunately, she was about to experience something out of this world, something that would shake her and make her realize that there were existences that surpasses common sense.
{Mother, there are cameras here!}
Andrea gave out a warning and Diamond hummed in response.
Andrea took that as a sign to deal with them, and shortly, the feed was cut.
With the cameras dealt with, Diamond sat down comfortably on the floor in a lotus position and closed her eyes.
In her hand, a red silk fan with golden lotuses appeared. With swift moves, she started fanning herself while muttering a chant. As she does so, a golden halo started to surround her, making her look very holy. Even her silver hair seemed to be sparkling.
If only the Jeong family could see that, they would truly be astonished.
Her fortune telling skills didn’t require many arduous steps. She just needed to mutter a chant and ask for whatever she was seeking for. In this case, she wanted to know what was wrong with Young-Jae, and whether she could be of any help.
After chanting for a while, she snapped her eyes open, and at that moment, they looked golden. In her sight, she saw dark vines entangling the handsome man, and that didn’t seem to be a good thing.
She had seen something very familiar a few months ago. That was the time when she was trying to break into the sacred lands, searching for the bracelet that Zara needed.
The young man was plagued by evil and dark spirits. They weren’t the crazy kind like the ones she once faced off, but these ones, were on the sly side.
The vines were there to trap him in a deep sleep, or rather a nightmare. As long as he keeps trapped, he would forever lose himself in there, and before he knows it, he can just die in his sleep. It was a cruel way of dealing with someone. To make matters worse, unless those around him realizes what was wrong with him, he would be sleeping there, hearing everything and yet remain unable to help himself.
Having found out the cause, Diamond let out a snicker and amusedly spoke, "you must have offended someone, darling. To harm you to this extent! Tsk, tsk," knowing fully that he was hearing her.
"I will wake you up and nurse you to health. By doing so, this curse shall reverse to its owner, and my job will be done. If you want to know more about who hurt you and how to protect yourself further from such cases, then darling, once you are fine, and before I leave this country. Then find me and treat me to a nice dinner. Perhaps, go on a date with me," she shamelessly spoke, but wasn’t bothered at all.
She was a woman of action. Lim Ji-soo asked her to wake her son up, but she never talked about after services. So, she can just use this chance to her advantage and hopefully spend some time with the handsome guy. Who knows?
She might get something out of it.
After speaking her mind, she didn’t continue with this nonsense and started something serious.
She rose to her feet, took out an evil warding rune and plastered it on his forehead. She also took out holy water she gained from Zara’s mission and cast it on him.
She watched as the vines fought vigorously but with a single wave of her fan, they were cut into shreds. She cast more holy water and after twenty minutes or so, all the vines had vanished, and the dark aura also vanished.
What she didn’t know, or didn’t see was the fact that the moment that the vines and dark aura vanished, at a certain event, a young and handsome actor, who was busy having a fan meeting, with loud cheering of the fans inflating his ego, suddenly froze, his eyes rolled, his hand clutched his chest and before anyone could understand what was happening, he was vomiting blood and fainting.
It caused quite a stir and became a story that was talked about for a long time.
Back to reality, once Diamond had cleared the curse, she retrieved her fan and holy water back into the storage ring. At the same time, the camera feed connected itself, and Andrea’s voice sounded in her ear.
{Hehe, mother, your prospective mother-in-law is panicking outside. It took her a lot of patience and determination not to budge in after not accessing the live feed.}
She let out a chuckle and looked at one of the cameras.
