Chapter 558: Chapter 447: You’re Not Human, Are You? (2)
At the moment, only a dozen or so members of the Vaughn family were left guarding their post. Everyone else had organized into teams to go hunt inferior waste slaves and beasts for food.
There were a great many inferior waste slaves here, and since they were weak, they were easy to hunt. Although their Crystal Cores contained little energy, they could be used to adorn weapons or be made into small defensive charms to be worn.
The food situation, however, was now a serious problem. Besides humans, there were many animals on Earth. But most of the creatures that still dared to roam about were evolved creatures.
The evolved creatures here were appallingly powerful. He had received this new injury while besieging a small, unknown beast with his disciples.
With new wounds compounding old ones, his injuries were just piling up. Leopold Vaughn’s face was pale as he glared fiercely. He wanted to see just who had sat on him and broken his ribs!
But that one glance was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The woman before him had soft red lips and fair, delicate skin. Her aura was elegant, yet her face was stunningly beautiful, and her eyes were as fresh and clear as a lotus on water. The youthful vigor radiating from her, the very aura of life she exuded, was incredibly refreshing.
His heart couldn’t help but begin to pound.
"Oh, sorry! Hey, you... you’re spitting up blood?"
After jumping up, Flora Bloom stood straight beside Leopold Vaughn. ’This man is so weak. Is he really the Family Head of the Vaughn family?’
’But even though he seems to be in poor health, that Planet Level superpower energy is undeniable. I just don’t know why his qi and blood feel so weak, as if there’s some kind of deficiency.’
"I’m fine. You... how did you suddenly appear in my room?" The woman before him didn’t give off the slightest hint of aggression. Instead, she made his heart flutter as if he were bewitched.
Flora Bloom’s eyes darted around awkwardly. "I was just passing through on business. Don’t worry, I’ll leave right now! I won’t disturb you at all!" With that, she turned to leave.
"Wait, that’s not what I meant! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!" In his haste, Leopold Vaughn coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Flora Bloom had only taken a few steps when she suddenly felt the life force of the man behind her weaken considerably.
’Don’t tell me I actually killed him by sitting on him?’
’If he really died because I accidentally sat on him, that would be a terrible sin!’
"Are... are you really okay?" Flora Bloom asked, turning around guiltily. Just then, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed from outside the cave.
"Family Head, we have a problem! There’s a giant bird circling the mountaintop! My senior brother’s and my attacks are completely useless against it! What should we do?"
Hearing this, a flush of red appeared on Leopold Vaughn’s pale face. Seeing that he was about to spit up more blood, Flora Bloom quickly condensed a bead of spiritual water on her fingertip and flicked it into the coughing Leopold Vaughn’s mouth.
At that moment, Leopold Vaughn spat out half a mouthful of blood and swallowed the other half back down with his saliva. He didn’t even notice the condensed bead of spiritual water that went down along with the mix of blood and spit.
This was thanks to her Water Ability having upgraded to the Cosmic Level, which had refined her control over Water Energy to an unparalleled degree.
Not only could she now effortlessly control water and transform it into many more forms, but she could also prevent the special Spiritual Energy within the spiritual water from leaking out.
As long as someone’s spiritual power was lower than hers, they would be unable to discover the secret hidden within the water bead.
As soon as Cecilia Vaughn entered, she saw that the Family Head was not alone in his room; there was a strange woman with him.
"Who are you? What are you doing in the Family Head’s room?" she demanded, taking a defensive stance. Anyone who saw their injured Family Head looking weak and spitting up blood next to a stranger would assume he was being attacked.
"You call this cave a ’room’?" Flora Bloom gave Cecilia Vaughn a slightly speechless look. The girl was about sixteen or seventeen, with youthful, cute features and clear eyes that revealed a pure heart.
"None of your business! This is the Vaughn family’s territory, anyway!"
As the spiritual water went down, Leopold Vaughn suddenly felt a soothing sensation spread throughout his body. Not only had his recent injuries healed, but even his old wounds—which hadn’t improved despite absorbing the abundant life force in this cave—were now almost completely gone, all after just coughing up a bit of blood.
Moreover, he could even feel his body slowly changing, as if he had been reborn. All traces of his previous weakness were gone. The healthy color had returned to his face, making him look like a completely different person.
Astonished and amazed by his own transformation, he looked at Cecilia Vaughn beside him and immediately adopted a serious expression. "Cecilia, how can you be so rude? This is..."
