Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 191: Coming Back to Life

When Amanda noticed the fluctuation of Qi coming from Monica’s freshly made body, she was stunned.

‘Is it going to happen now? Didn’t Luan say it would take ten days? Or maybe it’s an estimated deadline and it is happening early?’ Amanda was in doubt. Whatever it was, she could wait two more days, or even be very happy if it happened now.

Luan said it was “ten days”, but it didn’t mean that it was fact, did it?

It is likely that he did not say it could happen before, so that they would not be so anxious and expect it to happen sooner. This theory was viable.

While reflecting, Amanda did not take her eyes off the direction her daughter was lying. She thought about going to call Luan, but since he was at the company and it was still early, she didn’t want to be more uncomfortable than she already was.

‘It’s not like there’s any risk if he’s not here, is there?’ Luan had never said that he would need to be present when this was going to happen. ‘But at least I should send a message…’

With that thought in mind, Amanda sent a message, attached with a photo of what was happening to Monica. Then she also sent it to Ingrid.

[“Daughter, Monica might wake up at any time.”]

It didn’t take Ingrid more than a minute to answer. [“Seriously, mom? Okay, I’ll try to finish everything as soon as possible to get back.”]

[“Good!”] Amanda replied.

Colégio Vila Olimpia – 11:30 am.

At the end of the class, the students started to leave. Most of the students had someone to pick them up, and they also stayed until a little later when those who were picking them up were late.

Taina was one of those. She was sitting impatiently in the schoolyard, and when she saw Cristina’s face, her impatience changed to anger.

A boy did not fail to notice Taina’s look of anger and hatred and commented to his friend, “I don’t know why Taina thinks about teasing Cristina.”

“Besides, the two are beyond comparison,” the friend added.

“Yes, Cristina is like a Duracell battery – 8 times more beautiful.” The first boy had a sneer when he spoke.

“Well, but don’t say that near Taina. Things could get very ugly for you and your family,” the friend warned. He still remembered the last boy who cursed Taina, and because of that, he just disappeared. Not only that, his family also disappeared as if they never existed.

This was very scary.

“…”

At the friend’s warning, the boy closed his mouth and did not utter a word afterwards out of fear.

[“Mom, you don’t have to go and get Cristina, I’m going home with Ingrid and I’m already going to pick her up.”] Luan sent a message.

He had already seen Amanda’s message, and just in case, he decided to go back. Luckily, he didn’t have much to do and it didn’t necessarily have to be done today.

[“Okay, son. I was about to ask Catharina to come and get her. I still need to sort out some things here at your grandfather’s house. By the end of the afternoon I’ll be back,”] Maira replied.

[“Okay.”]

Putting his smartphone in his pocket, Luan turned off the Bugatti Veyron alarm and opened the door for Ingrid to enter.

“Thanks,” Ingrid smiled gently.

Luan nodded and went around and got in the car.

As expected, because of the value of the car, people would give way to it, and even avoided being too close, afraid of crashing and having to pay a fortune. Because of that, Luan took Ingrid home, and 15 minutes later he was already in front of Cristina’s school.

Luan stopped the car and stood in front of the car, waiting for Cristina. He already felt her aura, and he knew she was close to the bathroom, so he waited, patiently.

“My beloved father. Is that Luan Dimas?” A teenage girl almost passed out.

Many girls looked up with sparkling stars in their eyes. Boys looked on with admiration. The fight against monsters was seen by everyone or almost everyone who studied at that school.

In addition to looking adoringly, there were some precocious girls who looked at Luan with love and even started arguing with each other, rivaling each other and thinking that they wanted to be his girlfriend.

Compared to girls, boys were not equally precocious. In general, at this age, boys were more interested in playing, watching cartoons, and playing video games.

But there were some exceptions, some boys who already started to like girls, watching the girls they liked with stars in their eyes, arousing a fury in their poor hearts.

“That scoundrel…”

“It’s really hateful! I really want to beat him up.”

“But you can’t beat him…”

“Shut up!”

There was some gnashing of teeth. Among the young men who clenched their fists, Rien Faro was also there, because Alice Garcia was also one of the girls who gathered around Luan.

When she arrived, Ingrid soon entered and went up the stairs. On the second floor, she opened the bedroom door and saw the phenomenon her mother had spoken about before.

“Mom,” Ingrid called to her.

“Daughter, you are here.” Amanda smiled.

“Mm.” Ingrid nodded and approached. “This… I don’t really understand. Luan is already coming.”

Ingrid was also helpless in this situation. As much as she wanted to help, she didn’t know what to do, much less know what was going on.

“Is Luan coming? Excellent!” Amanda put her hands together and smiled even more.

‘Apparently there is nothing wrong and as Luan said to me, because of the great increase in Qi on earth, it may have accelerated the process,’ Ingrid murmured in her heart.

Ten minutes later, they heard noise coming from downstairs.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps, and the door opened.

“Luan, you are here.” Ingrid broke into a smile.

“En.” Luan nodded and looked in the direction Monica was in.

“How is she, Luan, will she be okay?” Amanda asked, concerned.

Luan didn’t even have to think much, and soon he knew what was happening and said, “Yes, but, she will need a little more blood from you two.”

As the process was accelerated, more blood was needed. Blood was produced in the bone marrow of flat bones, vertebrae, ribs, hips, the skull, and sternum.

But as Monica had not yet formed the bone marrow in perfect condition, blood was needed from family members.

“I have plenty of blood. Take as much as you want,” Ingrid said and rolled up her nonexistent sleeves.

It was a reality. Because she was connected to the sea of ​​blood, she alone had much more blood than ordinary people. If she started to bleed, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she would be able to flood the entire room.

“I know.” Luan’s lips curved in a small smile. ‘Isn’t she cute?’

Amanda was also prepared to give her blood, even if she had to be anemic.

“Okay, you don’t have to be that serious,” Luan comforted them, “At most it will need 1 liter of blood.”

That in itself was a high amount, but they couldn’t say it was too much, considering that the amount of blood in Ingrid’s body was very high, and even if they took 500 ml of Amanda, she would just be a little anemic.

“Mm.” The mother and daughter pair nodded.

“Okay, let’s start.” Luan made them pierce their thumbs and drip their blood directly into Monica’s mouth.

Monica’s body became more red, and the temperature started to warm up. The Qi of Heaven and Earth created a vortex and entered the pores, mainly near the navel.

Monica’s breathing started to become fast, and she strained her eyes, as if she were going to wake up at any moment. Amanda’s heart rate increased. She was very anxious, but managed to control herself by taking a deep breath. Ingrid’s eyes shone with expectation.

The Qi threads looked like thin, shiny, wavy tentacles. Monica’s reconstructed body became more vivid, and the Qi was thick. Monica’s lashes fluttered and she opened and closed her eyes. In the short interval she opened and closed her eyes, they saw that they were purple.

‘Oh?’ This was something that did not go unnoticed by Luan. He could feel the presence, even if thin, of an Origin.

Luan did a series of spells that made his body’s Qi manifest in a colossal way, and then made all of Monica’s organs connect to their meridians. He even took advantage of the Qi that surrounded them, to help form Monica’s Dantian.

You could say that they had experienced great luck in the midst of the storm. After that day, Monica would not only come back to life, she would also be someone with a high proportion of growth.

“Mom…” Monica’s weak, soft, slightly childish voice echoed.

She opened her closed eyes and looked in Amanda’s direction as she looked like she had just woken up from a long sleep.

“My daughter!” Amanda cried. She cried so loudly that she sobbed. Even believing that Luan was capable, only seeing is believing.

Seeing the living evidence, Amanda could no longer contain her emotions, and however weak she was from losing too much blood, she looked stronger than ever.

Without understanding, Monica also cried when she saw her mother cry. At that moment, Amanda promised herself that she would not let her daughter go the wrong way again.

Ingrid also cried. Although not as much as Amanda, she cried a lot. Luan hugged her, and let her cry with the content of her heart. 

Seeing her 13-year-old older sister, it was as if she had gone back in time. That was very crazy, but it was also satisfying to know that her sister had another chance to start over.
