Chapter 1661 Missing Information
Hannah's body had accepted the healing and then rejected it. No, she had been healed. And then the poison had taken effect again. Why?
Alex frowned as he contemplated the question.
Long Huan sat Hannah on the bed, holding her hand, writing words of consolation into them.
"Ask her if she feels any changes," Alex asked quickly as he thought.
The man wrote what Alex said and an answer came back.
Not much change. Maybe I can sense touch better, but I may be wrong.
So, there was a possibility of her getting slightly better by the healing. Alex would have to remember that. But first of all, he needed to think about the poison.
This was something done by poison. Had it just been her regular body, then the healing wouldn't have made any changes. Her real body knew what she was supposed to look like and this was not it.
'But I used the antidote pill before this,' Alex thought. He had only given the healing pill after that. If there was a poison in her body, it was supposed to be gone by now.
"Has she shown such changes before?" Alex asked the 2nd prince. "When she ate a healing pill or antidote pill, I mean."
"No, none I can remember," the young man said, frowning a little. "And she had eaten many pills. Thousands by now, some multiple times."
"Then my pill couldn't have been a unique pill," Alex said softly. There was one unique part to it though. The pill veins.
They were higher-grade pills altogether. His pills had done something certainly, but then why were they reverted?
His mind kept going back to the thought that there was still poison in Hannah's body. But he had checked it all and found nothing. Not just that, he had fed her his best antidote pill and there was still nothing.
What was going on?
He started pacing back and forth in the room, trying to come up with an answer.
'No, stop thinking about just one part. Think about it all,' Alex told himself. He had gathered all the information he could have required. He needed to find something out of those.
'Her senses are mostly gone, her body can move but is no different from being paralyzed, her spiritual sea is gone, her Dantian is closed, her…' Alex's thought slowed down. Something was happening here. A connection that he was missing.
For some reason, he was sure this was not where the answer remained. He was doing something wrong here, but what? He had all the information, didn't he? What else was there?
He closed his eyes and went through everything over and over and over and over until he found no connections except that maybe her Spiritual sea had disappeared forever because of the poison. He didn't see how it was possible, but there were poisons of the mind, so maybe there had been some sort of effect on her Celestial-grade body.
She had been poisoned with something that killed 2 people just by being close to her, so it had to have been her body that had saved…
Alex frowned all of a sudden and stopped his pacing. Yes, there was something there. He had missed that part. In the thought of healing his sister, he had thrown away every other information to the back of his mind.
Now that he was going through them once again, he was seeing some inconsistencies in his thoughts. A fact didn't make sense to Alex.
"I heard you correctly, right?" Alex asked. "You said my sister was poisoned by your father?"
The 2nd prince grimaced before nodding a little. "I… I'm sorry he did that. I don't know what—"
"No, stop. I don't want to hear any apologies. We'll talk about this in length later, but for now, I need to heal her," Alex said. "Are you sure he poisoned her? You said you weren't paying attention."
"Yes, I'm sure," the 2nd prince said with a frown. "I couldn't pay a lot of attention, but it was easy for me to know who she was fighting. I love her, after all. I wouldn't leave her alone even for a moment."
Alex looked at the 2nd prince for a second before moving his eyes to his sister. "Why?" he could only ask.
"Why? Why do I love her?" the 2nd prince asked. "Well, that's…"
"No," Alex said. "Why did she fight your father? Or more importantly, why did your father see the need to use poison?"
"Because, if he didn't, he and the others would've lost, or even worse, died," the 2nd prince said.
Alex's eyes snapped back to the man. "What?" He thought he heard wrong. "She would've killed the Dragon Emperor?"
The 2nd prince nodded. "I don't know about killing. She's never killed before, but she would've won for certain," he said.
Alex took a moment to take in the information and immediately cursed himself. "Stupid!" he shouted out loud.
The 2nd prince looked surprised and wanted to say something, but Alex stopped him. "I was cursing myself. I'm stupid for thinking I had all the information without asking."
"Oh!" The 2nd prince didn't know what to say. "Okay."
"I'll need the information directly from you. Make sure you answer it correctly," Alex said.
"Sure," the 2nd prince replied. He wondered what Alex was going to ask.
Alex continued cursing himself in his mind before taking a deep breath to calm himself. "What is my sister's cultivation base?"
The 2nd prince thought for a bit. "Right now, it's weak so I can't answer," he said. "But before she had been poisoned, she was a Saint Transformation 7th realm cultivator."
Alex's eyes went wide. "Such a high cultivation base?" he asked. "When was this? Answer me if you can based on when the players arrived."
"It was over 50 years ago," the 2nd prince said, before falling into a thought. "The players had arrived for a year maybe by then? She was cultivating rapidly before, but then she slowed down for a bit. But after that, something happened causing all the players to go into a frenzy, and she changed too. She started cultivating quickly again."
"By the time we had to run away, that was half a year after the change happened," the 2nd prince said.
His sister had fought and nearly won against the Dragon Emperor with a Saint Transformation 7th realm cultivation base with only 20 months of cultivation.
Alex had a hard time wrapping his head around that thought. Could he have been as strong as her, as fast as her, if he had no bottleneck at all?
He usually didn't have a bottleneck for the cultivation itself, but he faced them through Inner Demons. He wondered if his sister had those or not.
Now was not the time for that.
"That was what I was missing this entire time," Alex said softly, but loud enough that the 2nd Prince heard it.
"You know what is wrong?" The 2nd prince looked at him with eyes that held hope.
"I don't know what is wrong, but I do have a guess," Alex said. "I know what to look for now. Can you tell her I'm going to check her body once more?"
