"Huh?" Matthias looked around to search for the old man's trace but it was as if Old Man Sanyi didn't even go there. Not even an atom of energy remained in the place where he vanished, which plastered a shocked look on his face.
Then, Matthias remembered something and turned to Isabelle and the pale boy.
Matthias rushed to him and crouched down. He sent a wave of Life Energy that he created into Gail and circulated the energy inside him properly according to the Yin Body laws.
Matthias figured out that Gail had a kind of Yin Body to possess that kind of pure yin inside him. There are a lot of Yin Bodies in the Immortal Territories and Matthias couldn't know them all easily. Although he could encompass and know the laws of the lands of the Sun Devouring Empire and its neighbouring forests, he would need to be a lot more powerful to know all the Immortal Territories' laws.
Different from the Yin Bodies that Matthias had read multiple times when he was still a mortal that states that bodies that have pure yin would possess feminine characteristics, although some could still have feminine characteristics even if they're of the opposite gender, bodies that possesses pure yin bodies could have a handsome man's looks and body and sexual capabilities, but have a passive sight towards the laws, dao, and natures of heaven and earth.
The Yin not only refers to the feminine but majorly classifies all passivity towards the absolutes, the main focus of the Great Laws of Yin.
Gradually, Gail's pale skin tone returned to a lively cream tone. His black hair turned fully white, not old-like white, but a snow-colored hair that exudes coldness. His body became healthy and strong, his muscles became strong yet compact, having almost no bulky muscles at all. He stood up and stepped a couple steps forward to see everything.
By now, the people inside the city started regaining consciousness. The lights of life in their eyes slowly started coming back. By the time it fully came, the people started walking their own lives, continuing what they're doing before the chaos, which amazed Matthias.
Such a show of power was absolutely incredible and terrifying at the same time. The power and potential it holds is massive.
"Han gongzi? What happened? Why is the broken building fixed again?" Suddenly, Isabelle woke up, stood up, rushed towards him, and asked.
"Isabelle, you remembered?" Matthias gasped. "What do you mean I remembered? Of course! That was devastating! I thought we would die there!" Isabelle chortled.
"That means that he left some. Why?" Matthias muttered.
"Wait." Isabelle suddenly remembered something, "Han gongzi, how's my brother?!" Isabelle exclaimed with nervousness.
"There." Matthias pointed behind her. Isabelle quickly turned around and looked at the sleeping Gail and rushed towards him. "I have already cured him. In particular, I have supplemented the insufficient energy that he needs to refine his Yin Body. Expect your brother to be stronger than before." He replied.
"Thank you!" Out of extreme joy, Isabelle rushed forward and hugged Matthias tightly, which startled him.
Time seemed to have slowed down. Matthias felt something that he had last felt when he was in Betania, but this one felt even more powerful.
'What is this? Why am I experiencing this? Isn't this too romantically cliché?' He thought.
While being confused because of the phenomenon, Matthias glanced at the face of the joyous woman hugging him. He saw her cresent eyes smiling together with her laughter filled with delight.
Looking at her, Matthias felt as if he was being swept by the spring breeze filled with the aroma of spring flowers. Her shiny golden hair looked like a shimmering river of gold.
Feeling her hug, he thought to himself, "This doesn't seem too bad."
"O-Oh, sorry about that. It was just an impulse." Isabelle suddenly backed off from the hug and talked, waking Matthias up from his stupor, "Oh? Oh, that's okay. Hehe." Matthias laughed awkwardly.
"Thank you, Han gongzi." Isabelle bowed and said sincerely to him.
"Don't mention it. Just call me Jianyu." Matthias replied. Answering him, Isabelle nodded and smiled, "Okay, J-Jianyu." She replied.
"Are you two done flirting?" A voice suddenly butted in their conversation. Isabelle quickly turned around and saw her brother sitting on the roof, looking at them.
"Gail!" Isabelle chirped and dashed to her brother who was looking at them with a judging gaze and hugged him.
After a long period of hugging, someone suddenly shouted at them, "Hey, someone's on your roof, Old Man Cang!"
Of course, that voice startled them and they simultaneously jumped away, laughing.
A long while later, after Matthias explained some things, the three returned to the room where Isabelle and Gail were staying before the chaos.
"Hmm?" Matthias shifted his look at him, "What do you mean?" He chuckled nervously.
"Even though my older sister Isabelle is the strongest among us two, I am still the last male predecessor of the family, meaning that I have absolute authority over the people of my lineage." Gail replied coldly. "As the current patriarch of the Morbius Family, I wouldn't let just anyone be near a woman of the Morbiuses."
"From your gaze, I immediately know that you have interest in my sister." He continued, "Don't even think about it."
"Whack!" Out of nowhere, Isabelle slaps her brother's back with a terrifyingly accurate attack on the back of the head, "That's not how you talk to a benefactor of yours!"
Gail stroked his aching head with his hand. Isabelle turned to Matthias and said, "I'm sorry, Jianyu. He's not usually this cold. Maybe it's because he just woke up."
Looking at them, Matthias laughed, confusing both of the siblings. "What's funny?" Gail asked.
In return, Matthias looked at Isabelle, "Don't worry about me. Don't worry about your brother either."
"Your brother, together with fully refining his Eternal Yin Body, innately comprehended the Laws of Passivity, resulting with his current disposition, it's understandable." He replied.
He then shifted his look to Gail, "And don't worry, 'Patriarch Morbius'. I am only helping your sister with healing you, and now that you're okay, I shall take my leave."
"You're leaving, Han gongzi?" Isabelle inquired. Matthias nodded, "Our meeting is rather short, but just enough. We would meet again if we're fated. Goodbye." Matthias bowed gentlemanly and turned to leave.
"Oh." Matthias stopped and turned his head, "The nine hundred thousand years old Forest Eucalyptus can be used by you, Isabelle. Refine it, and become stronger." Matthias smiled and took his leave.
Some time after he left, Gail told his sister, "Sister, don't go near him anymore. I feel something weird about his aura. He seems too mysterious."
"Aishh!! Gail, he helped you! Shouldn't you be repaying him?" She scolded.
"I will repay him." He replied, "But I'm not going to risk your life just to do so. So, leave the repaying to me, but don't go near him anymore. If you really want to, then I'll investigate him first."
"Sigh. I guess I'll just leave it to you." She sighed resignedly. "Then, what about the plant?"
"Use it." He replied. "Although he is mysterious, his intention to help you is clear. But even if he wants to help you, we mustn't be too close to him lest we risk being harmed. Remember, we still need to re-establish our family." Understanding their circumstances, Isabelle nodded reluctantly.
"Now that I am fully capable of becoming stronger myself, we shall start building our new group that would destroy Leon and his pest of a slaves." Gail uttered coldly, with his eyes staring towards the west.
Going back to Matthias, after he left Qixi City, he continued to explore the territory until the sun went down. After that, he returned to the capital.
When he entered the capital's gates on foot, all the forces of the Order, The Dynastic Guards, and of the ministers who knew his departure were informed, gathering them all in the Throne Hall.
Cane, his advisor who was the one who organised the gathering, stood below the Dragon Throne while waiting for their Radiant Majesty to return to his rightful domain.
Noticing the ruckus around the outskirts of the palace, with carriages leaving from every side, Matthias immediately knew what was happening and sighed.
Thinking that they could wait, Matthias walked for a moment and reminisced about his short adventure around his territory. He learned a lot about this world and some events that happened.
He also discovered that even though he was a god that he wasn't omnipotent outside his realm, so he needed to be more powerful to fight for his subjects and territory. Larger existences are abundant in the universe, so he promised himself not to be too carefree.
Remembering what Old Man Sanyi told him, he planned for the things that he will do and say later.
He then vanished from his position and reappeared inside the Imperial Palace, sitting on the Dragon Throne, which is for him with every right. His abrupt appearance on the throne greatly startled everyone, but they then simultaneously kowtowed down, welcoming their emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" They shouted simultaneously.
