Chapter 920: When I Was Little
Su Yu was genuinely surprised at how Han Jing and Su Yu managed to teach a five or six-year-old child to have such a strong sense of self and her own ideas. It was truly hard to believe.
Especially when she said she could take responsibility for her words and actions, it deeply moved Su Yu.
Seeing Xiao Xue always being held by them, he thought she would be a pampered child. Yet surprisingly, while she was indeed pampered, she had her own ideas and sense of self, which really made him think it was incredible.
Faced with such a child who was like a little adult, Su Yu couldn’t help but nod: "Alright, I’ll help you."
Xiao Xue’s eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you, Uncle Shiqi!"
Su Yu smiled and took her hand, speaking gently: "Don’t be afraid, just a little bit is enough, it won’t hurt you. Later, I’ll have Uncle Ying make something tasty for you, to nourish you."
Upon hearing there would be food, Xiao Xue immediately nodded: "Okay!"
Su Yu was amused by her demeanor.
He drew Xiao Xue’s blood and carefully applied medicine to her wound. Astonishingly, the wound on Xiao Xue’s wrist healed quickly, and Xiao Xue didn’t feel any pain at all. She exclaimed: "Uncle Shiqi, you are amazing!"
Su Yu patted her head: "But, Xiao Xue, I must tell you in advance, the medicine pills I made for you, though they can alleviate the effects of the Soul Devouring Talisman, cannot remove it. Only after enduring forty-nine days will it be fully effective. However, with the medicine’s counteraction, the hours of its effect can be shortened, this is the limit."
Since its development, the Soul Devouring Talisman was used as a punishment, without a method to break it. If not for Xiao Xue’s blood covenant with Lianwu and the strong power in Xiao Xue’s blood, using her blood as a guide, medicine could alleviate Lianwu’s pain, reducing the daily eight-hour effect period to one or two hours.
This is the limit, there are no other ways to resolve it.
Xiao Xue nodded understandingly: "I know, although I’m not really sure how powerful the Soul Devouring Talisman is, Grandpa Ghost told me about the function and resolution method of the Spirit Control Talisman. Some talismans are unbreakable, so being able to alleviate them is already rare."
Xiao Xue learned Spirit Control Technique from an early age and was very talented in this area. Although she hadn’t encountered advanced spirit control talismans like the Soul Devouring Talisman, she could infer and apply the principles from other talismans she had learned before.
Su Yu asked curiously while preparing the medicine: "Has Xiao Xue also learned Spirit Control Technique?"
Xiao Xue nodded: "I’ve been learning Spirit Control Technique since I was little!"
"Haha, aren’t you still little now?" Su Yu was amused by her words.
Xiao Xue looked up seriously: "I’ve already said, I’m a big kid now! When I said ’little’, I meant very young, when I couldn’t even speak yet!"
Although she had mostly forgotten those times, she indeed had been sheltered by Grandpa Ghost, interacting with ghost spirits since she couldn’t speak.
Grandpa Ghost said she was naturally talented, that ghost spirits particularly liked her, and learning Spirit Control Technique suited her perfectly.
