Having witnessed the operation, Lu Ye couldn't help but envy A Tui and the others. Those guys must be living the high life right now, right?
I'm so envious. I should have just given the potion to Torina.
“No,” Torina said, as if she could see through Lu Ye’s inner complaint. “What if we don’t have enough potions? Although I initially wanted to ask you for more, considering how precious this stuff is, I doubt you would agree.”
Torina was right.
500 points are still points, and points are hard to earn.
Compared to indulging in fine food and drink, Lu Ye values points more, and he personally supervises any excess of the two panaceas.
"Well then, little sister, I'm going to insert it now, just bear with it."
"Ugh, brother...it hurts."
As Michaela inserted the golden needle into Marlelia, the latter surprisingly responded with a shy, girlish voice.
Lu Ye thought to herself, "What a dangerous statement."
Besides, what kind of behavior is it for a Valkyrie who is over two meters tall, clad in armor, and valiant in spirit to be pricked with needles by a blonde little girl and act so coy?
This needle isn't even as big as the one I got for vaccinations when I was a kid. Is it really necessary?
“Needling is a very painful thing,” Torina rolled her eyes at Lu Ye, “because the crimson corruption in Marlene’s body will resist. You can imagine a mass of red magma surging inside your body.”
"I'm sorry," Lu Ye apologized sincerely, "I've been watching too much hentai."
"What is hentai... But I forgive you, my sister is a Valkyrie, not that weak and frail."
After the golden needle entered Marlene's body, she curled up in pain. Her pure gold Valkyrie helmet rolled to the ground, revealing her long, bright red hair. Her face, which was corroded by crimson decay, was not ugly, but rather had a morbid beauty.
Overwhelmed by pain, Marlene tore off her armor, exposing her body to the air.
It was a combination of strength and beauty, a perfect blend of a broad, muscular physique and the beauty of a woman's body, quite sexy and powerful.
Without hesitation, Torina held Marlene tightly in her arms, not caring at all whether the crimson decay on her body would stain her, just like a saint in an ancient mural comforting a suffering sinner.
Seeing Marlene's pained expression, Lu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Are you really alright?"
"The backlash from the Crimson Corruption is exceptionally fierce this time, which must be due to the immense threat posed by the Golden Needle. Don't worry, my sister and I are both demigods chosen by Two Fingers as 'god-men,' so she will definitely pull through this."
Torina's face was a little pale, but she still managed a smile.
She was clearly also tormented by the crimson corruption, yet she never let go of Marlene.
Even though she was unstoppable in martial arts, Torina knew that Malenia was just "Michaela's blade," a child who only listened to her brother.
She would be afraid without her brother by her side.
Fear turned to anger, and anger led her to travel south from the sacred tree all the way to Gelid, just to find her. How could she abandon her?
In fact, Lu Ye felt the same way about this situation.
When Violet contracted Dragon's Cough, she desperately searched for a cure.
During that time, Violet also benefited greatly from Ms. Emma's meticulous care.
However, if the roles were reversed, Violet would only work even harder.
"You've really worked hard." Torina gently stroked Marlene's face.
“Indeed, I almost died fighting my way from the Sacred Tree to Galid, and was dragged back to the Sacred Tree by my men. Now I'm rolling on the ground in pain. It must have been tough.” Lu Ye hesitated for a moment. “Do I really not need to avoid you? Although I turned away when your sister took off her clothes, will she really not attack me when she wakes up? Should I leave another vial of the panacea here?”
"If things really develop as you fear, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to practice the Flowing Water Sword Technique with you?"
"Hey……"
“Just kidding,” Torina laughed, but crimson blood began to trickle from the corner of her mouth. “Fighting isn’t hard for her; the first step is the hardest.”
"The first step?" Lu Ye asked.
“It’s about stepping out of the sacred tree.” Torina sighed. “She’s a homebody.”
"A homebody?"
“Yes, she doesn’t want to leave home.” Torina smiled bitterly. “Whether it was in the royal city, or at the sacred tree, or even when the allied forces attacked the royal city, she didn’t go into battle herself. Instead, she sent her trusted Corrupted Knights… Ah, those knights who were infected with the Crimson Corruption around her. They all had the talent to convert the Crimson Corruption into their own power to some extent.”
"So she really trusts you."
"Yes, that's why I absolutely cannot let my sister down."
About two hours later, Marlene calmed down.
The Pure Gold Needle won the match, gained the upper hand, and suppressed the Crimson Corruption.
This is good news.
Crimson decay and frenzied fire are both powers of "God".
Since even Crimson Corruption can be suppressed, then Calming Epileptic Fire is a sure thing.
If all goes well, then Melina won't have to be a fire poker.
Marlene, who was still naked, got up and glanced at Lu Ye.
Although Lu Ye wasn't facing her directly, he still noticed her sharp gaze.
Since Torina hadn't yet said anything like "Be good, that's your savior, don't bite him," Lu Ye's right hand unconsciously clenched slightly, ready to retaliate at any moment.
“Thank you.” After a moment, Marlene’s voice rang out, “The crimson corruption within me… has been completely suppressed. I’ve never felt so good.”
"It's nothing, it's for me and my companions too," Lu Ye said honestly.
“However, there is no doubt that you helped my brother save my life.” A voice wearing armor sounded from behind, and the Valkyrie began to dress herself. “If you need anything, just let me know. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse.”
“Yes, yes, big brother, don’t miss this opportunity!” Torina started speaking again in a brat’s tone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye suddenly felt a mischievous urge.
"Then, how about you accompany me out of the sacred tree and take a stroll through the snowfield?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ye heard footsteps coming quickly from behind him, and then a pair of strong arms pressed down on his shoulders and turned him around.
This time, he saw Marlene's face clearly. There were no longer any traces of crimson decay. Her soft facial curves and delicate features were like jade. Her dashing expression contrasted sharply with her slightly decadent aura.
"Um, could we change the terms?" Marlene's eyes held a pleading look. "I'll have my men handle any other conditions you have, but I don't want this one..."
"Oh, then come with me for a stroll around the Sacred Tree Grand Stage."
"Let's choose another one."
"Let's take a stroll around Sacred Tree Town."
"No...that's a bit...Can't you consider other options besides coming out with me?"
Do you hate me that much?
Marlene released Luye, turned around, suddenly picked up Torina, and then went straight to her little stool and sat down.
"No, thank you very much, but I don't want to go out, I just want to stay here."
Torina blushed a little while being held, seemingly feeling that she had lost her dignity as the older brother. However, after struggling for a while, she realized that she couldn't overpower Marlene's finger, so she simply gave up and collapsed into her arms.
“My dear sister, he’s just teasing you,” Torina sighed.
She never expected that Lu Ye would actually use her casual remark to bully Marlene.
Are you kidding me?
"No, I really mean it, but if you really won't agree, can you teach me swordsmanship?" Lu Ye changed his mind quite quickly.
It seems Torina was right; she really is a homebody.
In fact, if Marlene hadn't sensed Torina's presence, she wouldn't have run away from here at all.
Her three meals a day were delivered by the Venerable Knight, and she lived a life of eating and sleeping, and rolling around in piles of leaves when she had nothing to do.
“Very good, if it’s swordsmanship… that’s fine.”
Marlene stood up from the small stool, holding a knife in one hand and holding Torina in the other. She looked heroic and exuded a maternal aura, like a mother holding a baby.
"Hey little sister, at least put me down during the fight, okay?"
“This isn’t a battle, it’s a lesson,” Marlene said seriously. “Besides, what if you get lost again if you don’t hold onto your brother? I haven’t even properly asked you about your disappearance yet.”
“Wait a minute,” Lu Ye suddenly remembered something, “What about Millison? Isn’t she part of Marlene’s will?”
“Ah, about this…” Torina realized this as well.
Soon after, Millison was brought over, with shrimp meat still stuck to the corner of her mouth.
She wiped her mouth and met Marlene's eyes.
"So, here's the situation: now that the golden needles have been successfully developed, there's no need for dear Little Lizanne to 'return' them. Her other four sisters, who are still suffering from Crimson Corruption, need to be dealt with, but it's only a matter of time."
"So... Millison can survive on her own?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes, that's why I called you here." As she spoke, Torina took out another gold needle, an item that had been successfully developed.
Although there is no boost from the Luye potion, the crimson corruption of Marlelia, the "mother," has been suppressed, so Millison's problem, as a part that split off from her, is much easier to solve.
After all this has been done, Marlene's reward is about to begin.
However, Millicent also got involved.
"My esteemed Marlene, I wish to become as strong as you, and I ask that you teach me swordsmanship."
"Sure, but let me make it clear beforehand that although I have taken over the blind swordsman's swordsmanship, my swordsmanship is different from his. My swordsmanship is called 'Water Bird,' and its key points are the continuous flow of water and the agility of a bird. The first thing to do is to keep your feet off the ground."
After saying that, Marlene embraced Torina and began a sword dance.
Her graceful movements and fierce sword dance created the Valkyrie's unique killing intent.
Seeing her sword-wielding posture, Lu Ye finally understood that it was true that Marlenelia could fight Rataen to a standstill.
Her agile movements allowed her to dodge Rataen's heavy sword, her sharp sword skills tore through armor, and coupled with her graceful movements and cursed crimson corruption, she was indeed able to overcome Rataen's gravity magic and fight him.
The longsword echoed as the Valkyrie landed silently, scattering shattered yellow leaves everywhere.
“Millison is my will, so I don’t think it will be too difficult for her to get the hang of it, but you… will probably need some time to familiarize yourself with it,” Marlene said. “Alright, you two give it a try, and I’ll keep a close eye on you.”
After saying that, Lu Ye used the Flying Boat technique from the Ashina style.
If the first step of the Water Bird Sword Technique is to touch the ground with one's feet, then he has already done it.
After completing a set of sword techniques, Marlene fell silent, but her heart was in turmoil.
What's going on?
