Thinking of such questions, Lilly became very dizzy, but also clear headed again. If she hadn’t experienced them before then so be it. Would life be incomplete if you’ve never been in love? Would women not be women if they’ve never gone through the pain of giving birth? Would winners only be considered winners if they have something they can’t afford to lose?
Other than family love, she had never experienced anything else. Would her eight years of life be worthless then?
What a fallacy.
None of these questions could hold Lilly down. As her head cleared again, she could hear the sounds that could be thunder rumbling. Was she going to be struck by lightning again?
She opened her eyes suddenly.
“Lilly! You’re finally awake!” Jean hugged her and cried.
Lilly leaned into the soft and warm embrace of her mother, and asked: “Am I going to be struck by lightning again?”
To the side, Pablo looked very confused by Lilly’s question.
For some reason, the Order of the Underworld had changed just now amidst the roars of the thunder…
“Have I been sleeping for a long time?” Lilly asked.
“Not really. Just three days.” The unlucky ghost replied.
Just three days??
Everyone had been worried for the past three days. No one could be at peace until Lilly woke up.
Blake laid on the bed beside Lilly. His wounds were open again. He had fallen asleep after taking care of her for a few days.
He vaguely heard Lilly’s voice in his sleep, and opened his eyes in a rush. “Lilly…”
As she had woken up, he quickly touched her forehead: “Are you feeling okay?”
Her little face was a little dark, and everyone was worried sick. The child had been fried by lightning strikes, would she even be able to recover from it?
With that thought, Lilly sat up suddenly. “Huh? When did I become so tanned?”
Blake was stunned.
All of a sudden, he realized that all of her wounds had already healed.
What in the…?
Even though he had taken a lot of medicine to tend to his injuries, his wounds were still there after three days.
“It’s alright, you can wash it off…” Blake was trying to play it casual, but in actuality, he was exhausted.
All he could feel was fatigue and a gust of turmoil within him. He just couldn’t calm himself down.
Jean took a glance at him, and helped Lilly up out of the bed. “Let’s go take a shower.”
Lilly was soaking in the bathtub filled with immeasurable spiritual spring water.
The scorched dark skin started to crack inch by inch, and came off layer by layer!
“Mom! I’m shedding skin!” Lilly exclaimed.
Jean rushed over.
“No way… The skin really is shedding!”
“Based on my experience… is this the technique of marrow washing and body forging?”
Lilly: “What’s marrow washing and body forging, mom?”
Jean: “It means that after getting struck by lightning, one is reborn again, and the body will become stronger. Some might even train their bodies to the extreme, and strengthen their defenses…”
Lilly was getting more and more confused as Jean continued on.
“How did you know all of this, mom?” she asked curiously.
