It was not until the past two years, when Fei was about to become an adult, that she realized that Akali's decision was right.
If it weren't for her, at least two of her companions would have died at the hands of the violent tree spirit.
If Fei could trade a leg for two lives, she would do it without hesitation, instead of resenting Akali's actions back then.
Although the relationship has warmed up, a gap has already appeared between the two of them, and they will never be able to return to the time when they slept together and played and laughed together.
"Fei, I found it, I found it!"
Faey was puzzled by Akali's excitement.
"What did you find?"
She watched as this friend, who was once like her own sister, raised her right hand. A strange-looking metal tube lay quietly in her calloused palm.
Faey turned around on her crutches. "What is this?"
Just as she was asking the question, Kennen and Meimu, who were chasing Akali, also arrived at the door of the cabin.
Five years later, the once simple shed of the shelter has been transformed into a real house using rotten wood that has lost its vitality and other collected, nature-friendly materials.
Although it is still not as good as the former site of the Order of the Balance, it is already very good for a shelter.
"Akali, what are you doing?!" Meimu shouted harshly.
Kennen raised an eyebrow, looked thoughtfully at the air around Akali, and said nothing.
Fei, who was leaning on a crutch with a missing part on his right leg, was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Are you in trouble again?" This was the first thought that came to her mind as she looked at Akali.
A complicated expression flashed across Akali's face, but she quickly suppressed the sadness in her heart and forced a smile.
"Why do you think so? I came to you today because I found a way to cure you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence for a moment.
Not long after, Mei Mu was the first to shout angrily, "This is impossible! Shen, Kenan, and I have searched all over Shangzan Province, Jialin Province and Kuilin Province in the east, and have also searched most of Zhiyun Province for the past few years. The thousand-year-old fog lotus that can heal broken limbs has not appeared in more than two thousand years!
"How could you, an apprentice who has barely left the sect, possibly find such a rare and precious ancient magical item?"
Akali turned around and glared at Meimu, "This isn't the Millennium Mist Lotus, it's something else. I asked Li Lin for it! When he left the sect, I begged him profusely, and only then did I get this small bottle of precious potion!"
She said it according to what Li Lin taught her.
"Li Lin?" x3
Kenan and Mei looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Fei's face, already riddled with questions, became even more bewildered. "Who... is Li Lin?"
"Leave him alone!"
Akali immediately came forward, her well-proportioned muscles twitching slightly, and she forced Fei to sit on a chair beside her, threw her crutches aside, and then pulled open the trouser leg of her right leg, revealing half of her knee that had already grown strong.
"Akali..."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Fei's face. Ever since the incident five years ago, she had never let Akali see the pain of her life that even she couldn't bear to see.
But now, how could she disregard her feelings and do this to herself again?
"Akali, do you know what you are doing?!" At this time, Meimu's voice was full of anger.
But before she could step forward to stop the farce caused by her daughter, Kenan next to her pulled her and shook his head at her.
"How did you..."
"Let her try."
Under the gazes of the three people with different emotions, Akali placed the syringe-like mechanical device in her hand on the gap in Fei's right leg.
Before the four people in the room could react, the device quickly turned into tiny solids like black quicksand and quickly penetrated into Fei's body along the surface of her skin.
"This, this, this...what is this?!" Fei covered her mouth and almost screamed.
As waves of tearing pain came over her, she clenched her teeth and fists, a painful expression on her face.
Meimu couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately rushed to Akali's side, pulled her away from Fei, squatted down, and touched her right leg with a concerned look on his face.
"Fei, are you okay? I'll go call a therapist for you..."
Behind her, Akali bit her lips until they bled. A chill swept through her body, quickly dispelling her joy and happiness at having found a way to heal her friend.
Kenan walked over and patted her calf, but it didn't help.
As the first two or three seconds of pain passed, the wound on Fei's right leg, which had already healed, was torn again.
The black and red nanomachines quickly extended outward according to the structure of her body, first constructing the shape of bones, nerves and blood vessels, and then more nanomachines filled in.
Fei, Meimu, and Kenan looked stunned.
Not long after, the nanomachine completely reconstructed the girl's right calf and quickly began to transform from metal into flesh and blood.
The blood flowed, injecting new vitality into the calf and connecting the nerves, allowing Fei to feel the limbs that had been lost for five years again.
"My legs...actually..." She had no idea how to describe her feelings at the moment.
Meimu burst into tears of joy and hugged Fei into her arms, "Finally, you can take on the responsibility of maintaining balance again."
A layer of mist covered the girl's eyes, but she did not feel the slightest joy in her heart, instead she felt a sense of loss.
Akali and Kennen were no longer in the cabin.
