Chapter 435

435 Being a busybody when unnecessary

‘I thought an evil soul possessed Vincent... I wanted to help someone struggling, like how my grandmother struggled when she got possessed... now, not only I made things worse, but I was seen naked by a man who is a curse upon the land to everyone... maybe this is my punishment for being a curse upon the land for my race...’ Jun Ye Rim thought.

Jun Ye Rim stopped channeling her mana after her conviction that doing a good deed by saving Vincent from being possessed was a misunderstanding on her part.

Her focus on her goal to save Vincent at all costs waned, the pain overwhelmed her body, and the pressure extruding from Vincent’s body overwhelmed her soul.

Soon, all the feelings of pain and fear caused Jun Ye Rim to blackout.

*Thud* Vincent saw Jun Ye Rim fall to the ground. He ignored the naked elf on the ground, bleeding from a crushed arm, and placed his hand on his chest.

Vincent called out for Kazumi multiple times. But it was to no avail. There was no reply.

‘I think I have enough Soul Power to learn a new skill. That is the only way to enter my Soul Domain without Kazumi’s help.’ Vincent considered. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on creating a new skill, but he was emotionally distraught. No notification appeared as he couldn’t think straight.

Vincent started to despair. He didn’t know what else to do since clearing his mind full of worry was impossible at the moment. He canceled Overheat, but nothing changed.

Fortunately, a faint telepathic voice entered his mind a few minutes later. Vincent tried to calm his restless heartbeat to hear Kazumi’s voice without missing a word.

.....

[Vincent. I am. Alive. Wolfie. Freerie. Hatched. They gave. Me all their. Newly gained mana. I will sleep now. With them. Good luck with that. Dangerous woman.]

Vincent leaned his back against the tree and slid down. As he sat on the ground and looked in the sky, his body felt more exhausted than one week of hellish training.

“Vincent! Vincent! Where are you?”

Vincent heard multiple familiar voices calling for him. Lupa and Plow found him first. Soon, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Plow couldn’t stop but stare with a worried expression. In front of their eyes was a view they never ever expected to see.

Vincent was resting his back against the tree, and he looked emotionally and physically exhausted. On the other hand, Jun Ye Rim lay on the ground naked and bleeding from a painfully crushed broken arm. It made their arm feel a pang of pain at the horrible injury.

“Vincent. What happened? Why is she naked?” Ester asked first. She knew Vincent wouldn’t assault Jun Ye Rim since he had them.

The gaze Vincent had painted a picture of someone who came close to losing someone precious to him. “Kazumi almost died.” He said with a slightly raspy voice.

“How did it start? Did Jun Ye Rim’s flying snake spirit attack Kazumi like what happened in the classroom on our first day? ” Lilith asked while she and Iris placed the ripped clothes on her to cover her body.

Iris lowered on her knee and took a look a the wound. “This looks bad. Jun Ye Rim lost some blood, but the arm is in a horrible state.” She feared the damage was too severe and they might need to cut her arm.

“She...” *Sigh* “Jun Ye Rim wanted to save me from Kazumi because she thought Kazumi possessed and controlled me. She placed her hand on my body and chanted a purifying spell to separate Kazumi from me.”

Vincent paused for a moment when Plow climbed on his lap and rubbed her head on his belly. Brushing the soft blue fur was comforting.

*Sigh* “Her hand remained stuck on my body, and I oddly couldn’t move. So I threatened her, but no matter how badly I crushed her arm, Jun Ye Rim ignored the pain. Not even I ripped her clothes and hoped she would follow the elven rule to obey the one to lay their hand on them. She didn’t budge an inch.”

Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith became concerned about Kazumi now. The situation was dire, yet Vincent never said Kazumi died. However, he never said how Kazumi was faring either.

“How is sister Kazumi doing?” Lupa asked. She looked both concerned and envious Plow got to support Vincent with her soft fur.

“Wolfie and Freerie helped Kazumi. They donated some of their mana and gave her more time to hang on. Kazumi responded to me not too long ago. She mentioned going on a long sleep with them.” Vincent answered.

Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith could better understand the situation. It all started with a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that was left festering until Jun Ye Rim took the drastic measure to save Vincent without even attempting to ask one of his wives.

Lilith looked at Jun Ye Rim and asked, “Vincent. Does it mean she will join our family because of the eleven rule? You saw all of her body, so she can’t go to dragon heaven if she doesn’t become your woman now.”

*Sigh* “That is the tip of the iceberg.” Vincent shook his head. He looked at Lilith and continued, “Jun Ye Rim found out I come from another world because she spied on me. She saw the marks on my body and probably studied with the history teacher Ming Xiao Fan to learn the difference of the patterns between a criminal mark and an otherworldly hero mark.”

*Sigh* “I think Jun Ye Rim was so fixated on Kazumi to be an evil spirit that she believed the otherworldy being was Kazumi instead of me. She mentioned her grandmother dying from possession of an evil spirit or something. This might be why she dedicated so much to freeing me from Kazumi to save me. But I didn’t need saving, so I told her I was the one to come from another world in a fit of rage.”

It became so silent all of a sudden that everyone could hear their own heartbeat beating anxiously. The shocking revelation caused everyone to look at Jun Ye Rim as a dangerous threat to their lives now.

However, even if Jun Ye Rim was an unknown variable to their safety and their future, Iris asked, “Can I treat her? We can talk to her later and tell her how our Vincent is a good person. ”

‘Iris is as kind-hearted as ever. She always wants to help like... like how Jun Ye Rim tried to help me. But what if I was really possessed? Wouldn’t I be saved right now?’ Vincent thought before deciding on what to do next.

Vincent made up his mind. He placed Plow on the ground and got up. Green light appeared on his hands. A couple of sticks appeared on the one hand and a couple of fabrics on the other.

“Vincent. Are we going to save her arm?” Asked Iris.

“Yes.”

Vincent lowered on his knee and grabbed the crushed arm. The wound looked horrible, and the bone looked hopeless to recover without advanced medical procedures similar to those found on Earth.

Fortunately, there was magic in this world. But the healing magic Vincent currently possesses isn’t strong enough to let her arm recover.

Vincent had gotten used to processing meat from animals and watching the corpses of dead humans. He didn’t feel too disgusted, grabbed her arm, and tried fixing it in place.

Jun Ye Rim’s body was encased by green healing light twice. Later, Lilith used Divine Blessing with Minor Regen to help the body recover quicker.

Iris crushed some herbs and placed them on the fabrics Vincent summoned. Afterward, she wrapped the arm with fabrics and sticks to let the arm recover straight.

“Vincent. Why are you frowning? Are you perhaps looking at her stats? Is her condition that bad?” Lilith asked.

Lilith helped as much with the healing as she could. She wanted to know the condition of the patient she healed.

“Her arm needs higher grades of healing for the bones to recover. Additionally, her arm has become partially paralyzed. But that is only about the injuries.” Vincent answered. He looked at Jun Ye Rim and continued, “She had her birthday this month, but she told no one about it. Jun Ye Rim is nineteen years old now.”

Jun Ye Rim was in a strange position in their hearts. She should be hated for what she did, yet she is so pitiful they can’t really hate her. Kazumi didn’t die, and the misunderstanding stemmed from the wish to help without asking for assistance.

“Sisters. Can we carry her to her bed and watch over her? I want to ask Jun Ye Rim...”

“I want to ask her too!” Lupa said. “I want to know how strong she is and fight for my mate’s right-hand girl position!”

Vincent smirked after hearing Lupa worry about being his number one woman. “Lupa. Does that mean you want to share me with her?” Vincent teased.

“As long as best girl Lupa can be the right-hand girl of my mate, my mate can have more mates than my fingers can count... Ouch! My ear!”

“Stop being horny and help us move Jun Ye Rim. ” Ester said after pulling Lupa’s ear.
