"Is there... really no way to save Sakura's body?"
Hearing Xu Yanwu say that, Kallen hesitated before finally asking.
"There is, but I can't do it right now."
Xu Yanwu explained to Kallen, "Sakura was forcibly turned into a Pseudo-Herrscher. I could already sense it just now—her body has begun to fail..."
"What I can do now is... link Sakura's life force to that fox, then use the seal to slowly restore her body."
"So... Kallen, go say goodbye to Sakura."
Yae Sakura felt as though she had just had a dream.
In that dream, she seemed to have seen many things she had never seen before.
In that dream, she seemed to have seen Yae Village destroyed, and seen the evil god of Yae Village.
And she even seemed to have... hurt Kallen in that dream.
"No!"
Yae Sakura jolted awake. What met her eyes was Kallen's concerned face.
"Sakura, how are you feeling now?"
Kallen tightly gripped Yae Sakura's hand, unwilling to let go.
"Kallen... you..."
Seeing Kallen's injured shoulder, Yae Sakura struggled to sit up. "Your shoulder..."
"It's fine." Kallen held Yae Sakura down and made her lie still. "My injury is nothing."
"But..."
"It's all right. Don't you know how strong I am? A little injury like this will heal in a few days." Kallen spoke gently.
"Kallen... what, what exactly did I do earlier?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yae Sakura finally asked.
"It was nothing..." Kallen remembered what Xu Yanwu had told her before leaving.
As for me... don't tell her anything about me. The misunderstanding between her and me won't be so easily resolved...
"Sakura... I want to talk with you a little longer, okay?"
Kallen asked Yae Sakura this.
Yae Sakura froze for a moment, then smiled. "All right..."
