Ch. 1251..1260

Chapter 1251

Soon, Xyla Quest started silently praying for herself.

She prayed that she would be healthy and well.

She also prayed that she could stay next to Stanley Batton for a longer time...

Soon, the dizziness swept over her once more.

Xyla subconsciously opened her eyes...

However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the dizziness faded away.

Her illness was really strange.

Since the dizziness faded away so quickly, Xyla decided not to bring it up.

Since they couldn't discover anything at the hospital, she had no reason to tell Stanley.

What was wrong with her? Xyla really wanted to know.

How long had it been since she last felt dizzy and nauseous?

This was already the third time she felt this way...

"What's the matter?" Sensing that Xyla was lost in thought for a moment, Stanley turned off the hairdryer and asked. "Nothing..." Xyla shook her head.

By then, Xyla's hair was already dry. Her black, curly hair naturally fell by her waist. Under the light, she seemed to be aglow.

Her face without makeup was enough to outshine all the pretty faces with tons of makeup on.

Xyla looked even more like a teenager now than when she had makeup on...

"Hmm... Shall we go back and sleep?" Stanley asked.

Xyla nodded.

After that, Stanley carried her in his arms before returning to the bedroom.

Once the light was switched off, the two held each other in the dark with thoughts in their minds, but neither spoke.

***

Late into the night, Xyla still didn't fall asleep.

Neither did Stanley.

However, they both didn't move much because they were worried they would disturb each other.

Even more so, they were afraid of the other person finding out about how worried they each felt.

Neither of them wanted to burden the other with added pressure and mental strain.

Only when the sky started to turn bright did the two of them fall asleep one after the other.

Stanley woke up early in the morning.

After cleaning up, Stanley went into the kitchen.

Before preparing breakfast, he instructed Zack Cassidy to schedule a private plane for their trip to Country M.

After that, Stanley started getting busy in the kitchen, as he usually did to prepare breakfast.

First of all, he added a little bit of olive oil to the flat pan.

Once the oil had heated up, he slowly cracked an egg into the pan.

Due to the thoughts on his mind, he was a little distracted even when he fried the egg.

He kept thinking about the possible cause of Xyla's illness.

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to him...

At that moment, his frown deepened even further.

Right then, Xyla slowly walked into the kitchen.

Due to not sleeping well, Xyla's complexion seemed much worse than usual.

There was a layer of darkness under her eyes.

When Stanley saw Xyla, he immediately turned off the stove before walking up to her. "Did you not rest well the night before?" he asked.

Xyla laughed bitterly. "It wasn't too bad..."

Stanley knew she was lying, but he didn't press on. Instead, he changed the topic. "I gave a serious thought about your illness earlier... I think I may have found the cause..." As soon as Stanley said this, Xyla's interest piqued.

"What is it?" Xyla immediately asked.

Chapter 1252

Chapter 1252

"Do you think it might be related to your X-ray vision?" Stanley Batton asked.

Stanley's words immediately shocked Xyla Quest...

Xyla suddenly started suspecting that it might just be the case.

Her symptoms only started after she acquired the X-ray vision.

Was this a coincidence?

It didn't seem that way...

The X-ray vision was very mystical, and it couldn't be explained by science at all.

Meanwhile, Xyla's illness was also the same.

It didn't seem impossible for the two to be related.

Otherwise, why would Xyla be like this?

"Now that you mention, I do think it's possible..." Xyla said.

Back then, Xyla was also exposed to information about X-ray vision in television dramas and novels.

In those works of fiction, people who had X-ray vision would use a lot of energy to utilize it.

Once they used up the energy, problems would begin to arise in the protagonists' bodies.

Although Xyla knew that it was all made up, she didn't think she necessarily needed to dismiss it completely...

However, she couldn't verify whether this was the case within a short amount of time.

"I think the timing of when your symptoms began and your acquisition of the X-ray vision was a little too coincidental...

"Within a month of you acquiring the X-ray vision, it just so happened..." Stanley began to analyze carefully.

Xyla nodded repeatedly...

"If we can't find out what's wrong in your body... We can deduce that all this is related to X-ray vision. I suspect that the X-ray vision also harms you alongside bringing you those benefits..." Stanley continued to analyze thoughtfully.

Xyla agreed with him. "Let's get my body checked first... We'll see how it goes after we've checked at a few places," Xyla said.

Speaking of getting checked, Xyla suddenly recalled a person.

'Miracle doctor Yaksha!'

Last night, Xyla's mind was too clouded. She had actually forgotten about this person.

"Why don't we go to Yaksha first? Let him check on my condition before we head to Country M...

"Yaksha has great medical skills. Moreover, he's always been treating all sorts of difficult illnesses. What if he's able to tell us something about this?" Xyla said seriously.

Stanley thought deeply for a few seconds. "That works too... Let's go to Yaksha first. If he can't tell us what it is, we'll go to someone else..."

Xyla decisively snapped her fingers. "It's been decided then."

***

On a whim, they left upon making the decision...

After breakfast, Stanley flew Xyla over on a helicopter to the island on which Yaksha lived.

Once they arrived above the island, Stanley landed the helicopter on an empty land outside the island.

After that, he held Xyla's hand and walked into the forest maze.

Since they had been here once, they were both very familiar with the geography of this place.

Hence, they could get through the maze and arrive in front of Yaksha's two-story, national-style burgundy villa.

Right then, Yaksha was sitting in front of the main entrance on an empty field as he left various herbs out to dry.

As usual, he was wearing a silver mask that covered the upper half of his face.

His long, white hair naturally hung around him as it did before.

Chapter 1253

Chapter 1253

Yaksha was wearing a white overall.

Due to the broad outfit, it made him appear unusually thin.

When a breeze with a thick medicinal scent blew over, it entered Xyla Quest's nostrils.

Although the scent was overwhelming, Xyla didn't feel bothered by it.

That was because she had already gotten used to it.

When Yaksha saw Xyla and Stanley Batton, he immediately smiled naturally...

After that, Yaksha quickly walked up to them and bowed deeply to the two of them.

Seeing this, Xyla instantly helped Yaksha up. "Don't do this... You're older than us. We really can't bear it..."

Although Yaksha said that he was indebted to Xyla's family, Xyla felt that an old man shouldn't behave so humbly toward her regardless of the favor that had been done for him. Besides, he was indebted to her family and not her.

Yaksha smiled. "I'm indebted to your family... You must accept the way I treat you... Besides, it's what I should do anyway."

Xyla immediately shook her head. "Don't say that... You're indebted to my family, not me..."

"To me, it's the same thing..." With that, Yaksha shifted his gaze to Stanley. "You should have recovered by now, shouldn't you?"

This question instantly left Xyla and Stanley stunned.

All of a sudden, they didn't know how to answer it.

If they told Yaksha the truth, it might make him feel that they doubted his level of medical proficiency...

However, if they didn't tell him the truth, they'd be too embarrassed to ask Yaksha should any questions arise in the future.

Yaksha could more or less tell that something was wrong. He instantly changed the topic. "So... Why did you come to me today?"

Xyla could also sense that Yaksha had realized that, but she didn't explain further.

Instead, she shifted the topic as Yaksha did. "I'm sick... I need your help to check on me..."

When Yaksha heard this, a concerned look immediately filled his eyes. "Sick? What sickness is it?"

"Let's talk inside. It's a long story..." Xyla said.

Yaksha instantly gestured for them to go inside.

After that, he respectfully led the two of them into his house.

After entering the national-style living room, the three sat together around a burgundy, national-style, rosewood coffee table.

Stanley sat on a single burgundy, national-style, rosewood sofa on his own.

Meanwhile, Xyla and Yaksha sat on a long sofa nearby.

Once they sat down, Yaksha poured each of them a cup of tea.

After that, he cut to the chase. "Ms. Quest... Tell me about your sickness..."

Xyla immediately explained her situation to Yaksha truthfully.

After listening to all of it, shock appeared in Yaksha's eyes.

He then quickly looked at Xyla. "Quick, give me your hand..."

Xyla instantly offered her hand to Yaksha.

Yaksha was wearing a mask, and Xyla didn't activate her X-ray vision. Hence, she couldn't see her facial expression completely. However, from his gaze, Xyla could sense that Yaksha already seemed to know something.

Moreover, it seemed very serious...

Xyla obediently moved her hand closer to Yaksha...

Yaksha pinched the tip of Xyla's fingers with one hand as he quickly pressed his other hand on her wrist to carefully check her pulse...

By the end of his diagnosis, Yaksha had an even more shocked look in his eyes...

When Xyla saw this, her heart instantly rose to her throat.

Stanley reacted in the same way.

Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254

Yaksha continued to examine Xyla Quest for approximately ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Yaksha slowly let go of Xyla.

He didn't start speaking immediately. Instead, he subconsciously looked around.

After making sure that nobody was around, he looked at Stanley Batton. "Can you go out for a while? There's something I want to tell her privately..."

There were things Yaksha wasn't sure if Xyla had told Stanley. Hence, he needed Stanley to step away.

When Stanley heard this, he immediately stood up. "Alright," he said.

Xyla instantly looked at Stanley. "You don't have to leave," she said.

No matter what it was, Xyla didn't want to keep it from Stanley. That was because there was no reason to do so.

With that, Xyla looked at Yaksha. "He's my husband, and he has the right to know everything... There isn't any secret between us. Hence, you can just say whatever you want to tell me," Xyla said. Yaksha nodded after hearing this. He intentionally lowered his voice. "Have you encountered anything strange recently?" he asked.

"For example, something beyond the scope of logic..." Yaksha added.

There was a serious and curious look in his eyes. He fixed his eyes on Xyla's.

At this moment, Xyla was stunned.

She didn't think Yaksha would actually ask her a question like this.

Suddenly, she didn't know how to answer him.

The X-ray vision was an unusual matter.

Xyla wasn't sure if she should tell Yaksha about it.

However, the one thing patients shouldn't do is to keep secrets from their doctors.

Seeing that Xyla wasn't answering him, Yaksha immediately understood what was going on. "You bumped into it, didn't you? Do you have Yin-Yang Eyes? Or X-ray vision?

"I know this isn't a small matter, and you don't wish to mention it to outsiders. However, if you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you...

"You're in terrible condition, and you must receive treatment at once. Otherwise, not only will you become blind, but you might even lose your life," Yaksha enunciated each word carefully. After saying that, his gaze became even more serious.

"That's because Yin-Yang Eyes or X-ray vision have different methods of treatment..." Yaksha explained further.

He really did want to help Xyla.

Hence, he hoped Xyla would tell him the truth.

If she wasn't willing to do so, she'd end up in an extremely pitiful state!

After hearing this, Xyla and Stanley's pupils contracted. Neither of them thought that Yaksha would bring this up.

"What do you mean?" Xyla asked.

"That's because using these two types of vision would consume one's spiritual energy. If you don't have enough spiritual energy, and you continue to use it without replenishing the energy, your eyes would turn blind...

"If you run out of spiritual energy, you'd die right away..." Yaksha said carefully.

Xyla was confused from listening to all of these things.

Spiritual energy...

This term had always appeared in fictional novels, and it only belonged to characters that possessed some sort of mystical cultivation.

 

Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255

Xyla Quest had never heard of this in real life.

However, due to her own sufficiently mystical experiences, Xyla found the things Yaksha mentioned somewhat acceptable.

"Meanwhile, your recent experiences of dizziness and even directly passing out is all because you're close to using up all the spiritual energy in your body.

"If you don't receive treatment as soon as possible, you'll die once your spiritual energy is used up," Yaksha continued to warn Xyla. "Hence, I hope you won't keep anything from me... Even if everyone in the world betrays you, I will never..."

Hearing this, Xyla and Stanley Batton both became extremely concerned.

"How were you able to identify all this?" Xyla immediately asked.

Yaksha smiled calmly. "That's because I couldn't find anything wrong with your body from your pulse... That's why I concluded that if there were a problem, it'd surely be due to these reasons... "People who are running out of spiritual energy display the symptoms that you have..." Yaksha added.

"I didn't tell you before, but I'm actually a cultivator. I'm also someone who possesses Yin-Yang Eyes... I've also encountered your situation before...

"Apart from you, I've also met a patient with X-ray vision before. It was exactly like what's happening to you now..." Yaksha added.

"Combining all my personal experiences, I'm able to determine that you probably have one of the two types of visions..." He said.

Xyla felt thoroughly shocked by the things she was hearing.

At first, Xyla thought that she was the only person in the world who possessed a vision like that. She didn't think that someone else had it previously.

Even more so, Xyla didn't think that Yaksha, the miracle doctor before her, was actually a cultivator...

All along, Xyla thought that cultivators only existed in fictional cultivation novels.

Suddenly, Xyla felt even more curious about Yaksha.

For some reason, Xyla felt that Yaksha seemed to keep secrets about his past experiences...

"You're a cultivator? Have you succeeded then?" Xyla asked.

"Also, how did you acquire the Yin-Yang Eyes? Back when you first acquired it, you also experienced symptoms like mine. How did you realize it is the Yin-Yang Eyes that caused it? Who healed you? "Also, have you succeeded in your cultivation journey? Are you already a saint now?

"Also, was the patient with X-ray vision a male or a female? Is he or she still alive?" Xyla pressed on.

There were too many questions on her mind, and she couldn't answer those questions herself.

She really wanted to find out.

Yaksha smiled, but he didn't answer her right away. "I'll tell you about these things later. Now, the more crucial thing is to deal with your problem... Based on your descriptions, your spiritual energy will completely run out within a day..."

Xyla's heart clenched tightly all of a sudden.

Since Yaksha had already explained how serious the matter was, and he had also told Xyla all his secrets, she naturally didn't have any reason to hide the truth from him.

"What I have is the X-ray vision... My symptoms only began after acquiring it... " Xyla said truthfully.

Yaksha smiled in relief. "I'm glad you're willing to tell me about this. Since it's X-ray vision, it'd be easy... You'll simply have to go to Realm of In-Between to absorb earthly spiritual essence..." "How do I absorb that?" Xyla asked.

"Now, you'll only have to go to places with decent mountains and rivers and quietly sit still with your eyes closed while you breathe... It'll only take you three hours to replenish the spiritual energy in your body...

"After that, you won't experience dizziness or anything like that....

"X-ray vision requires you to feed it with spiritual energy. Hence, while you use it to acquire benefits, it's also silently absorbing the spiritual energy in your body..." Yaksha explained.

Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256

"Even if you don't use it, it'll silently absorb the spiritual energy in your body... And when you start using it, it'll absorb even more greedily...

"If you use the X-ray vision frequently, your spiritual energy will be depleted very quickly. Using it three times is enough to use up a quarter of your spiritual energy...

"Hence, I suggest that you go to places like mountain areas and rivers to absorb earthly spiritual essence twice a day for an hour if you use the X-ray vision frequently...

"When you're not using the X-ray vision, you can sit in a place with mountains and rivers for an hour bi-weekly... That way, there shouldn't be any problem," Yaksha explained carefully with an earnest look in his eyes.

Xyla Quest immediately understood after listening to what he said.

She quickly jotted down everything Yaksha mentioned in her phone's notes app.

After recording everything, she turned to look at Yaksha. "In that case, is there any way for me to check how much spiritual energy I have left in my body?"

Xyla thought that it'd be much more convenient if she could check how much spiritual energy she had left whenever she wanted. She'd then be able to replenish it at any given time.

"There is a way. You'll only have to close your eyes and quiet down your heart. Just focus on yourself as you search for your answer within... When the time comes, a spiritual bar will show up in front of your eyes... The bar will be full at 100%..." Yaksha explained.

Xyla quickly closed her eyes. After that, she slowly calmed her heart down and searched for an answer within herself. "I want to know how much spiritual energy is left within me..."

Right then, a lively light-green spiritual bar appeared before her darkened vision. It showed that she was left with 0.1% of spiritual energy!

Everything Yaksha said was true!

Xyla would soon run out of spiritual energy....

If she'd die once her spiritual energy was used up, she'd be dead very soon.

Xyla suddenly panicked even more...

She instantly opened her eyes and looked at Yaksha. "I'm left with only 0.1% spiritual energy..."

"That's why... Hurry up and absorb some earthly spiritual essence outside," Yaksha urged.

"Before I head out, I'd like you to answer one last question. Not everyone has spiritual energy like me, right? Do you know where my spiritual energy came from?" Xyla asked.

"Your spiritual energy comes from your eyes... When the pair of eyes entered your body, it carried its own full bar of spiritual energy...

"In reality, the X-ray vision is usually sealed within antique items. It'll only unseal itself once it meets the person that's compatible with itself and the moment is right. It'll then enter this person's body..." Yaksha explained.

Yaksha's words suddenly made Xyla realize something significant.

It turned out that the white jade pendant didn't break the other day because she was too careless.

Could it be that it was the opportune moment? Was this also why her great grandfather left this white jade pendant for her? How did her great grandfather know about these things? How did he acquire the white jade pendant?

"If I'm not mistaken, you've only recently acquired these eyes, haven't you?" Yaksha asked.

"Yeah... I acquired it the time we first met," Xyla said.

"How did you get it?" Yaksha asked.

"It came from a white jade pendant my great grandfather left behind. I accidentally broke it... After that, the shattered pieces of the pendant turned into spots of light that entered my eyes... After that, I possessed the X-ray vision..." Xyla said.

"Indeed, it was your great grandfather..." Yaksha didn't show any emotion in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xyla immediately became excited. "Do you know my great grandfather? What did you mean by that?"

However, Yaksha avoided her question. "Stop asking questions. Hurry up and go out to absorb earthly spiritual essence. We can talk about the other stuff later," Yaksha said.

Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257

Xyla Quest could sense that Yaksha was avoiding her question, and he was trying to divert her attention... However, since he didn't want to talk about it, Xyla knew that he wouldn't tell her no matter how she asked him.

Hence, Xyla changed the topic right away. "In that case, let me ask you something else... I've seen in novels and television dramas that spiritual energy is used for cultivation. "Once someone acquires enough spiritual energy, one would be able to turn into a saint... Meanwhile, with enough saint energy, one could become a deity and live forever... "I wonder if that happens in the real world?" Xyla asked.

"That isn't far off from reality, but you still can't start cultivating yet..." Yaksha said.

To be honest, Xyla didn't want to become a deity all that badly. She was only asking these questions out of curiosity.

However, after hearing what Yaksha said, she became even more curious.

"Why?" Xyla asked.

"I'll tell you about this next time..." Yaksha didn't answer her question.

"Alright then..." Xyla didn't plan to press on...

"Oh, right. You also mentioned that the X-ray vision sealed within certain objects would unseal itself at the opportune moment. Can I know what kind of people it chooses? Why was I chosen?" Xyla asked. The more Yaksha explained, the more questions Xyla asked.

She needed to find out about all these things.

"It only chooses people who possess a spiritual root... Meanwhile, this spiritual root has to be the highest grade of its kind..." Yaksha said truthfully.

"Spiritual root? Is this what is required for cultivation?" Xyla asked.

From the television shows she watched, only people with spiritual roots could cultivate...

"Yes... There are many grades of spiritual roots... Meanwhile, your empty spiritual root is the highest grade among all spiritual roots. It's also the rarest. "Alright, you don't have much time now. Hurry up and absorb some earthly spiritual essence out there..." Yaksha couldn't resist nagging Xyla.

Although Xyla still had a lot of questions to ask, she decided to stop for now...

After taking a deep breath, Xyla tried her best to sort out the thoughts in her mind after hearing various odd things from Yaksha.

She then slowly stood up and looked at Yaksha. "I'll see you in a bit..."

Yaksha nodded gently.

Meanwhile, Stanley Batton was still in a state of shock.

Seeing that Xyla had stood up, he finally recollected himself. He then walked over to Xyla and held her hand, their fingers interlocked.

Stanley thought that there was nothing he didn't know.

However, all the stuff he heard from Yaksha today were indeed things he had never heard about.

It turned out that the stuff in novels and television dramas also existed in the real world.

There was such a thing as cultivation in this world.

"Oh, right. I forgot to mention... People who can sleep next to and have sex with an empty spiritual root without being affected must also have an empty spiritual root.

"If Stanley were an ordinary person, his Chi energy would've been sucked dry by the person who possessed an empty spiritual root through sexual intercourse, and he'd have suffered a slow death..." Yaksha added.

Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258

Xyla Quest was shocked by what Yaksha said.

Did such a thing exist?

Did that mean Stanley Batton also had an empty spiritual root? Was his body also suitable for cultivation?

However, after being stunned for a moment, Xyla began to feel afraid in hindsight.

She didn't dare to imagine what would've happened to Stanley if he didn't possess an empty spiritual root and still slept next to her every day.

Would he have already died?

Or would he have fallen terribly ill?

Thankfully, god had also blessed him with an empty spiritual root...

"Not only do people with empty spiritual roots cultivate faster than ordinary people, but they can also use some methods of cultivation that are not available to ordinary people...

"For example, one can have sex with people without spiritual roots to absorb their Chi energy and enhance their spiritual energy.

"Some evil-minded people would choose an extremist path like this..." Yaksha said carefully.

"We would never do that..." Xyla said confidently.

"I know you wouldn't, and that's why I told you about it..." Yaksha said.

"Does that mean my husband can also cultivate?" Xyla asked.

"Yes... But his time hasn't come yet. Alright, hurry up and head out... Turn left once you walk out the door and keep going straight... You'll see mountains and rivers at some point..." Yaksha said. "Alright..." Xyla replied softly before holding Stanley's hand and walking out the door.

After passing through the courtyard with various herbs and lush greenery, the two of them arrived by the main entrance.

A cool breeze blew against their faces, and the thick scent of herbs filled their nostrils.

As they had gotten used to it, they both felt refreshed by it. Also, since they had made sure Xyla was fine, the two of them felt unusually at ease...

Large, green trees above them covered the entire island. Only a little bit of light seeped through a gap above the house that was approximately the size of a person's fist...

Although it was the peak of summer, it felt as cool as an air-conditioned room in this place.

Due to the dense greenery, the lighting in this place wasn't particularly good.

Although it was still daytime, it looked almost like the evening...

Following Yaksha's instructions, Xyla and Stanley turned left and kept walking forward...

Soon, they saw a small hill...

There was a waterfall that occupied more than half of the hill's width...

At first glance, this waterfall seemed very majestic.

Beneath the waterfall was a long river. From the looks of it, the river probably flowed directly into the ocean.

This was a place with a great mountain and a great river.

Above the waterfall was a gap the size of a person's fist that allowed some light to seep through.

Warm, golden rays of sunlight poured through that. From afar, the entire waterfall looked almost as shiny as the milky way.

Xyla couldn't resist taking her phone out to take a picture of this magnificent view.

Although the lighting wasn't great, the phone's camera was very advanced. Hence, it could take a picture that looked as if it had been taken with sufficient light.

Xyla honestly didn't expect an unremarkable island like this to have such a lovely place hidden within.

Stanley was also stunned and impressed by what he saw...

After looking around excitedly, Stanley looked at Xyla affectionately. "Alright... You'll stay here..."

Stanley walked over to the edge of the river as he spoke...

Xyla immediately nodded. After that, she took off her white satin robe that she wrapped around her dress. She laid it down on a patch of grass by the river before sitting on it. Based on what Yaksha mentioned, Xyla had to sit in a cross-legged manner with her eyes closed. She then started to quiet down her heart and breathe deeply, little by little. Meanwhile, Stanley silently accompanied her without saying anything.

Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259

Xyla Quest emptied her mind.

Apart from absorbing earthly spiritual essence, she didn't think about anything else.

Right then, her entire world became quiet.

While she sat, Stanley Batton stood next to her. Moreover, he silently set the alarm for her.

According to what Yaksha had instructed, Xyla sat there for three full hours.

Three hours later, the alarm went off.

Xyla slowly opened her eyes...

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Stanley sitting next to her, looking down at his work emails on his phone.

Stanley was wearing a white shirt. Right then, the first three buttons of his shirt were left open.

His perfect collar bones were completely exposed.

Meanwhile, he had also rolled his sleeves up to his elbow. It made him appear somewhat lazy.

This man seemed to be shining.

Although they were clearly in a dark environment, he was still as bright as ever...

At that moment, Xyla suddenly felt that her body had become very relaxed. Even when she breathed, it felt much smoother than before.

Xyla then closed her eyes as Yaksha had instructed as she searched for an answer within. "I want to check the amount of spiritual energy left inside my body..."

Right then, Xyla could see that her spiritual bar had already been filled.

At this moment, her spiritual energy was at 100% capacity...

The light green spiritual bar was emitting a green mist. It looked wonderful.

Xyla was instantly stunned by how beautiful it appeared...

'So, this is how the spiritual bar looks when it's full.' Xyla thought.

Earlier, when she was meditating, she had checked her spiritual energy level several times.

She checked it once when it was halfway filled, and she also checked it when it was two-thirds filled. However, it did not look as good as what Xyla saw now...

Quickly, Xyla opened her eyes and turned to look at Stanley next to her. "Honey, I'm done..." She said.

Only then did Stanley slowly shift his gaze to Xyla. "Okay... Do you have enough spiritual energy now?"

Xyla nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, it's already at 100% capacity... I feel cool, and it's quite a pleasant feeling. Also, my breathing feels much smoother than before..."

Having spiritual energy in her body, and with it being filled, truly felt different.

Now that Xyla carefully recalled, she felt like this on the day the jade pendant broke and when she had acquired the penetrating vision.

On that day, she had felt unusually energized. Moreover, her body felt cool.

However, she didn't think much of it back then. She only felt that it must have been because of the cool environment in the forest.

"That's great..." Stanley smiled in relief.

After that, he reached out and pulled Xyla into his arms.

Xyla was as tame as a cat, and she allowed Stanley to hold her.

They were extremely close to each other, so much so that she could even hear him breathing. She could also hear his heartbeat... Every beat of his heart sounded crisp and clear to her. Today, Stanley had sprayed on some light-scented cologne. It smelled very refreshing.

The moment the scent entered her nostrils, Xyla felt bewildered.

"Honey... I didn't think you'd have an empty spiritual root too..." Xyla said.

Now that Xyla mentioned it, Stanley realized that he still couldn't believe it...

Chapter 1260

Chapter 1260

Stanley Batton found out about a lot of stuff that he never knew today...

"Yes..." Stanley's eyes were void of emotions. His voice still sounded as good as ever.

"I think we might be able to start cultivating together soon. Would we then be able to live forever?

"I think Yaksha meant that we'd eventually be able to start cultivating... The time just hasn't come yet," Xyla said carefully. In reality, she wasn't very interested in this matter.

That was because she found no point in living forever if Stanley couldn't do so too...

When the time came for Stanley to leave, what awaited her would be an endless period of loneliness and longing.

However, now that Xyla knew about Stanley also having an empty spiritual root, and he could also cultivate, she had changed her mind.

Xyla suddenly thought that it wouldn't be too bad if she could cultivate with Stanley...

If that happened, they'd be able to stay together all their lives.

Most importantly, they'd have immortality and never grow old after becoming immortals...

The latter part of this phrase was the most attractive to Xyla.

There wasn't a woman in the world who didn't want to stay young forever.

However, none of them could achieve it...

Now, Xyla had a way to achieve that.

When Stanley heard this, he smiled. "Yeah... If we can stay together, live forever, and never grow old, that'd be rather good too..."

That meant that Stanley would never have to part from Xyla.

"Honey... I suddenly thought of a question..." Xyla said.

"What is it?" Stanley asked.

"Say, if the medicine for genetic modification from Yaksha doesn't heal you... Do you think we could heal you through cultivation...

"I read from novels that cultivation can strengthen one's body. Moreover, if someone manages to become an immortal, one could rid himself of all illnesses..." When Xyla talked about this, it was as if there were thousands upon thousands of stars in her eyes.

Stanley reacted the same way.

"Perhaps... If reality works in the same way that television dramas and movies work, that might be possible..." Stanley said. Xyla nodded...

"Anyway, we'll ask the miracle doctor, Yaksha, about it later and in detail. I still think that he's keeping a lot of stuff from us.

"The way I see it, he genuinely cares for us. Naturally, he has his reasons for not telling us..." Stanley said earnestly. Xyla very much agreed with the things Stanley said.

Although she'd only interacted twice with Yaksha, she already understood that this person genuinely cared for her.

If he didn't honestly think of her as a close friend, he wouldn't have given her the medical book.

He also didn't have to tell her so many of his secrets today.

"Honey... Do you know something? I'm very happy right now..." Stanley said. His facial expression was indescribably gentle and affectionate.

"Is it because I don't have a strange ailment? I'm very happy about it too..." Xyla said.

"Yes..." Stanley was grateful to god for protecting his Xyla and keeping her safe...

"I'm also very happy. To be honest, I was worried sick last night... In fact, I couldn't even sleep well the entire night." Since the matter had been resolved, Xyla could freely express herself on a lot of things... "Me too... Silly girl. I knew you were just keeping up a strong front..." Stanley said.
