After seeing Finn, Baby Zetty’s deathly still heart was beating once more. It was as if the memories that had been sealed in her heart many years ago were torn open, and all of them came pouring back out again.She still remembered that when she was eight years old, the year Daddy was forced to split from Mommy because of Doomsday and when her two brothers were sent away, she was entrusted to Brother Finn…Brother Finn had fought against plenty of troops to rescue her from Doomsday. He had been covered with wounds and was on his dying breath. Even when confronting death in the hospital, he had never once let go of her hand.In those few years when Mommy was in poor health, Brother Finn had been her family who meticulously took care of her.At that time, although she was young, her love for him had already stubbornly sprouted. At the same time, she had sworn to herself that she would marry Brother Finn in this lifetime.However, Brother Finn could not seem to shift from his role as
Gale and Baby Zetty had gone through long days of hardships hand in hand. Gale had nothing but admiration for Baby Zetty’s boundless love for everyone and everything.He was not a simple-minded teenager, and there were plenty of dark memories in his mind. He was someone who understood human nature. The majority of people were simply egoists.However, Baby Zetty was different from them. Although she was young, inside her weak and old body was a tough yet stubborn heart. Facing the dying wish of her mentor, Baby Zetty escaped her enemies’ pursuit and trekked across the mountains to reach Sacred Land. Baby Zetty disregarded her own benefits in the face of sickly patients. She selflessly dedicated her superb skills and even gave medicines to patients without asking for anything in return.Therefore, when Jenson asked him whether he was a healer or a poisoner, Gale knew that he was trying to know his nature. What Jenson truly wanted to know was whether or not Gale was evil. This ques
Gale said, “The Ares family’s men are all gentlemen. Jenson wouldn’t stare at a lady’s face for so long. If you put on a disguise, he’ll definitely fail to recognize you.”Baby Zetty, “You’re right. One can no longer see a trace of a young girl’s appearance on my face anymore. But these eyes still show a semblance of my child self. As long as I put on a little eye makeup, they’ll definitely fail to recognize me.”As she spoke, Baby Zetty took out some colored powder from her bag and used it for eye shadow. She quickly concealed the original shape of her eyes.Gale said, “This is practically magic! They’ll never be able to recognize you now.”Baby Zetty was overjoyed as if there was a mask on her face that was concealing her identity. She no longer felt like she was herself, so she confidently and boldly walked toward Jenson and the others.Jenson could see Gale holding onto an old grandma from a distance away as she hobbled toward them. His pupils turned darker as he nudged Finn n
Finn’s vigilant gaze shifted from her face toward the silver needle. He had never seen anyone using such a method to cure someone from poison before. Just as her needle pierced into the top layer of Finn’s epidermis, he quickly used his strength to shake it out.“What on earth are you doing?” Baby Zetty stared at Finn with widened eyes.Finn scoffed at her coldly. “What kind of detoxifying method is this?”Baby Zetty was in between laughter and tears.“So you’re afraid that I’ll do something to harm you? Don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t hurt you. How could I be willing to hurt you…”Seeing the startled look in Finn and Jenson’s eyes, Baby Zetty felt that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly added another word, “...guys.”Then, she tried covering it up further and said something that made matters worse, “I’m a healer, and it’s my mission in life to cure patients.”Finn did not believe her and said, “I notice that flickering in your eyes. You’re filled with a guilty conscie
Jenson quickly sat upright and still.After Baby Zetty did the treatment for him, she also wanted to know more about Jenson’s physical condition and patiently checked his pulse. After fumbling around and asking questions, she said in satisfaction, “Hmm, not bad. You don’t have any illness or anxiety. It seems like you’ve been living well for the past few years.”Jenson looked at her and felt that Baby Zetty’s words were a little weird. It was as if they knew each other in the past.Jenson’s profound and unfathomable pupils were locked on Baby Zetty’s face. Seeing the powder on her eyes, Jenson suspiciously asked, “Did you put something on your eyes, Granny?”Baby Zetty quickly let go of Jenson’s hand and said with a guilty conscience, “Even an old granny such as myself likes dolling up like any young lady. We women can’t change our nature of showing off our good looks no matter our age.”Jenson was someone who could figure out even the slightest detail, so he said, “I think we see
Gale mischievously said, “Not anymore. Mr. Boye’s laboratory exploded and no one survived. There’s a high probability that she died in the explosion.”As soon as Gale said this, the entire troop of Ghost members was horrified.“How could that be?”Jenson tremblingly stood up. The look on his handsome face was full of unbearably mourning.Finn was simply unable to accept this grievous news and began to roar frantically, “That’s impossible! She’s not dead! She won’t die!”Baby Zetty glared at Gale fumingly, blaming him for making such a horrid joke.Seeing Jenson and Finn mourning for her ‘death’, Baby Zetty hurriedly tried to pacify the situation by saying, “Don’t go believing in my grandson’s words. That’s all just a rumor. Frankly speaking, we’re not from Serpent Land. We merely passed through that area and heard of Boye’s legend. The things my grandson said are just a part of it.”Gale laughed and said nothing in return.Jenson staggered toward Baby Zetty and asked, “What kin
Only then did Baby Zetty somewhat resentfully shut her mouth.Gale stood up and said, “Granny, now that we’ve cured their poison, I think it’s time we leave.”Baby Zetty had just reunited with Brother Finn whom she had been missing for so long. She had not even gotten the chance to say everything that was on her mind yet. Hence, she was extremely reluctant to part with him.Baby Zetty pleadingly looked at Gale. She knew that the eccentric Gale would have a way for her to stay by Gale’s side. Gale quickly saw through Baby Zetty’s thoughts and could not help but say, “Granny, do you have more of those medicinal herbs? There’s a forest of poisonous plants upfront. If we don’t give them more of our Detoxifying Grass, your efforts to save them will be in vain today. I’m afraid they’ll be poisoned again after walking ten miles from here.”Jenson had already deeply realized that they needed a healer by their side. Hence, he asked Baby Zetty sincerely, “May I know where you’re headed, Gr
Gale would surely not choose to stay inside a tent with Baby Zetty if it was just both of them. He stood outside and was drenched in the drizzle while looking into the hazy distance. Sitting at the edge of the tent, Finn was surprised to see Gale when he looked out through the open window of the tent. He said to Jenson, “Why isn’t Gale taking shelter inside the tent, Jens?”Jenson was baffled at this and zipped open the tent’s entrance. He looked over at Gale who was standing upright outside the tent.Gale’s small body was standing motionlessly, akin to a tree, or more so like a mountain.“Finn, I don’t think Gale is an ordinary person. His standing posture reveals his perseverance and tenacity,” Jenson said suspiciously.Finn smiled and said, “If you put it that way, the granny should be even more extraordinary since Gale respects her so much. There must be something unusual about her status.”Jenson gave it a thought and said, “Gale is standing guard for two reasons. First,
