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,
Her so-called talent was nothing but hard work.Baby Zetty said, “Who were you playing this song for? Why does it sound so sad?”Finn smiled bitterly and said, “It’s for an old friend.”Baby Zetty felt bitter about this and replied, “Since it’s an old friend, why’d you play Forgetting One Another? Do you truly have the heart to forget about them?”Finn replied, “There are some people you can’t seem to forget even if you want to.”Baby Zetty secretly rejoiced that Brother Finn still cherished her so much in his heart. He was indeed worth her being infatuated with. It was just that her aged body quickly fettered such joy. She quickly became sorrowful once more.If Brother Finn remembered her and truly missed her yet she could not satisfy his longing, it would be better to let him forget about her completely.Baby Zetty forcefully squeezed out a smile and said, “Sometimes, letting go is also a type of love.”Finn stared at Baby Zetty in a daze and suddenly chuckled while saying,
A trace of panic flashed across Baby Zetty’s eyes as she said, “Are you missing her so much that you’re getting hallucinations now?”Finn restrained his thoughts and tried to brainwash himself. The granny in front of him was an 80-year-old woman. How could he compare her to the young and beautiful Baby Zetty?She was certainly not her.Baby Zetty took out an aromatic herb pouch from her bag and handed it to Finn. “This pouch is filled with detoxifying herbs. I’m giving this to you as a thank you for the delicious snacks.”Finn’s gaze fell on the pouch. He hesitated slightly when he saw the lavender design on it.Lavender symbolized waiting for love, so it was inappropriate for him to accept such a gift.Finn declined her and said, “Granny, this sort of bag is too feminine. They’ll laugh at me for taking this along with me.”Baby Zetty forcibly stuffed the pouch into his hand and said, “Sacred Land is filled with poisonous plants. This pouch can save your life at the most critica
Baby Zetty looked at Jenson with a smile. She had not seen him for three years, and he no longer had the immature side to him. He appeared even more mature and stable now. He was incredibly handsome yet exuded a sense of being someone accomplished though he was still young.Baby Zetty tremblingly handed the bundle in her hand to Jenson and said, “Bon voyage, Young Master Jenson. I hope your journey will be as smooth as you can hope for, and may you find a beloved in the future. I pray that your whole family will be in good health. I wish you a life that frees you from any worries.”After Jenson received Baby Zetty’s blessings, he did not show any sign of gratitude. Instead, he put on a straight face and said very sternly, “There’s no need for such polite words, Granny. I’m not worthy of them.”Baby Zetty smiled and stuffed the bundle into Jenson’s arms, saying, “Here.”Then, she turned around and left.After taking a couple of steps, Baby Zetty could not help but look back.It wa
