Chapter 196 - 196: What’s it like? Did you like it? (1/2)

Finishing digesting all the introduction information related to the technique brought excitement to Theo's heart.

”Theo, did you finish what you were doing?” Zaika asked when she saw him open his eyes. Today, she wore pantyhose and a dark blue dress that went down to her knee and wore her hair up in a ponytail. It made her look lovely and seductive.

”Yeah, I was learning a new cultivation technique… well, I'll pass it on to you, too. Anyways, that's for later, it's really involved, and it will take a long time to get through.”

”So, that's it.” Zaika said, looking at Thereza, ”Oh, yeah. Thereza wanted to talk to you, didn't she?”

”About that,” Thereza, who was sitting in a nearby chair, sighed. ”I just wanted to know if it was possible to remove what was in my body so I can be detected by my family.”

”Hrm, I don't know if I can do it, but I can try, alright?” Theo asked.

”Yes, I'd be happy if you could do that much for me.” Thereza nodded.

”Right.” Theo got up, heading towards her.

With her consent, Theo placed his hand on her shoulder and started using his Mana to investigate.

”Ohh, that's…” Theo seemed surprised by something.

”What is it? Is it something bad? You can't take it out?” Thereza suddenly asked.

”Is it impossible, even for you, Theo?” Ariana asked.

”It can't be impossible for you… right?” Shina was also surprised by Theo's reaction.

But for some reason, Yuki was laughing lightly unnoticed.

”Oh, it's not that, I'm just surprised it's so easy to solve actually.” Theo shrugged when he answered.

”Ohhh!”

They were even more surprised by his answer. They soon realized that Theo must have faked his initial reaction. Or, he was just astonished at how easy it was to him.

”Well, this might end up being a little painful, alright?” Theo asked.

”Yes, go ahead,” Thereza answered resolutely.

”Good.” Theo closed his eyes. He soon surrounded the insect that was inside her body. It was very similar to the soul-controlling insect, only it was solely disguising her aura.

Thereza bit her lower lip, feeling a little pain. But it was nothing serious since Theo was using his Mana to kill it. He was taking great care to not affect her.

”Urgh!”

When the insect was finally destroyed, Thereza groaned in pain. At the same time, her Mana, which was previously hidden, was suddenly released.

”I did it!” Theo said as he took his hand off her shoulder.

”Mhm!” Thereza nodded, her cheeks were soon stained with tears of happiness. ”Thank you so much, Theo! With that, my mother will surely come to find me!”

She knew that Theo had already promised to take her back to her home, but it was still uncertain whether they would make it there safely since they would have to pass through the Naga Empire. There were also many powerful beings there, and even more powerful monsters that prowl there.

Also, Theo had different priorities. She didn't want to be so dependent on him, but she knew she owed him a lot already. So, she didn't want to bring him any more trouble but also somehow wanted to somehow make up for everything he did for her.

Thereza knew that if her mother, who was in the Spiritual Kingdom, came and found her, she could compensate Theo for everything he had done for her.

”I'm happy for you.” Theo smiled, which caused her to blush a little. She was never once had set any man in her sights, but she deemed that Theo was an exception.

”Theo,” Ariana asked, ”This has nothing to do with the subject we are talking about, but am I curious to know if our date is still going to happen?”

”Of course, definitely,” Theo answered.

”Hrm, that's good,” Ariana said. ”But know that if you think it's not a good time, even if it's uncertain, I'll understand, because with everything that's happening with the Kenedy Clan…”.
