As soon as Shawn Young left the Heavenly Sanctuary, he shifted his thoughts and returned to reality. He slowly opened his eyes, both palms cupping a handful of essence liquid from the Frostfire River, which gave off a refreshing fragrance that seemed to cleanse the soul.
Standing in front of him, Minnie Wang and Maggie Chang caught a whiff of this unique, fragrant aroma and instantly felt invigorated. At the same time, they noticed that Shawn Young was suddenly holding a handful of crystal-clear liquid, radiating that mesmerizing scent. Both women stared in amazement.
"Oh—Shawn, when did you get that liquid in your hands?" Minnie Wang immediately asked curiously.
"Oh—I just got it myself," Shawn Young replied vaguely, not wanting to reveal the truth about the Heavenly Sanctuary to the two women.
"Huh? You got it yourself? But... we didn’t see you do anything! You just closed your eyes, and then suddenly there it was! So weird—" Maggie Chang said, equally curious.
"Uh—Shawn, that liquid… it’s not, like, from your body, is it?!" Minnie Wang suddenly blushed and asked.
Shawn Young froze, not getting her meaning for a moment. He asked back, "Liquid from my body? What are you talking about, Minnie?"
Minnie Wang’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red as she mumbled, "I mean… you know, that stuff men… um… shoot out!"
"Ah! No way?!" Maggie Chang exclaimed, startled by her words.
Shawn Young broke out in a sweat and quickly shook his head, explaining, "Minnie, don’t let your imagination run wild. This liquid in my hands isn’t what you’re thinking—plus, you’ve studied medicine, so you should know those kinds of liquids never smell this nice!"
"Oh—so I misunderstood… But what are you planning to do with that liquid?" Minnie Wang asked quietly, her face still flushed.
"Well, I’m going to use it to help Maggie heal her scars. Don’t worry, this stuff works wonders! Maggie, since your scars are pretty deep, I’ll also help you with a Body Renewal Rite. Lie down on the bed, and I’ll gather my energy to start the treatment." Shawn Young explained, then motioned for Maggie Chang to lie on the bed and prepare for his healing.
"Okay!" Although Maggie Chang didn’t really understand what "Body Renewal Rite" meant, she trusted Shawn Young completely, so she obediently lay down on the bed and gently closed her eyes.
Shawn Young sat cross-legged beside her, calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and focused his energy in his dantian, beginning to channel his Celestial Essence.
As his energy flowed, his Second Sight quickly connected. Shawn Young lifted his hands, palms up, and began chanting: "Stars shift and revolve, three lights shimmer, above the nine heavens, below the nine earths, I call for golden light to cover the body, purge all evil, divine envoys descend, nine energies unite—by decree, release!"
As Shawn Young finished his incantation, his hands trembled—"whoosh!"—and the essence from the Frostfire River floated up, forming a faint white mist in midair. Shawn Young pinched his right hand into a sword gesture and pressed it against Maggie Chang’s forehead. A dazzling white beam shot from his fingers and slowly entered Maggie’s Second Sight as he continued to channel his power.
Maggie Chang’s pale cheeks began to flush. She felt brilliant white light shine into the darkness of her Second Sight, and saw a vast cloud of white mist gathering at her brow. Gradually, the mist condensed into shimmering, multicolored droplets—beautiful and clear. As more droplets formed, Maggie felt her body tremble, warmth flowing through every limb and vein, even her blood. The waves of rainbow light repaired her from the inside out, bringing a deep, unprecedented sense of comfort, as if every cell had been thoroughly cleansed!
At the same time, Maggie Chang’s body was enveloped in a cloud of rainbow mist. The crisscrossing, worm-like black scars on her skin started to fall away—"swish, swish"—as if some mysterious force had washed them clean.
Seeing this, Shawn Young was overjoyed, knowing his Radiant Renewal Spell was working wonders. He immediately channeled more energy from his Second Sight and recited the Southern Blaze Incantation: "Heaven and earth’s natural energies disperse impurities, reveal the mysteries, eight directions’ divine powers—let my spirit talisman announce to the nine heavens, Southern Blaze—release!"
Maggie Chang’s body trembled violently as the rainbow light swirled around her, covering her scars and wounds. In less than half a minute, every last mark had fallen away, leaving her skin snow-white, crystal-clear, with a rosy glow—soft and flawless, like that of a newborn!
As Shawn Young withdrew his energy—"poof!"—the rainbow light swirling around Maggie’s body turned into a burst of dazzling white radiance and instantly merged into her skin. At the same time, Maggie felt all the layers of gloom and anxiety in her heart vanish, and her consciousness fully returned.
"Ah!" The darkness in her Second Sight was swept away. Maggie finally made a sound and slowly opened her eyes. Shawn Young let out a deep breath, delighted—he knew he’d succeeded! At the same time, he couldn’t help but be captivated by Maggie’s stunning, radiant body—he hadn’t expected that, with the scars gone, her skin would become so tender and beautiful, like a living Venus.
"A flawless beauty!" The phrase flashed through Shawn Young’s mind as he was completely entranced by Maggie’s gorgeous, art-like figure. His eyes widened, his mouth went dry, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
"Hehe—what an amazing spell! Maggie, you’re so beautiful now, it’s like you’ve been totally reborn! Even I’m stunned—and look at Shawn, he’s totally mesmerized!" Minnie Wang said with a teasing smile, her tone full of playful innuendo.
As Maggie Chang opened her eyes, she heard Minnie Wang’s slightly jealous remark. Her cheeks flushed bright red, and when she turned her head, she saw Shawn Young standing nearly naked in front of her, eyes glued to her body—especially to the giant, rock-hard weapon between his legs, which was straining against the thin blanket. She realized she was completely naked too, her most private parts exposed to Shawn’s intense gaze. Instantly, she shrieked, "Ahhh!" and frantically tried to cover herself.
