News that Malenia had regained a healthy body spread throughout the Haligtree.
Together with the Mountaintops of the Giants, everywhere was decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate this historic moment.
Her hands, feet, and eyes were all her own. She no longer needed prostheses.
And because they had been born anew, they matched the strength of her Demigod body.
She no longer had to worry that her prostheses were too weak to keep up with her.
Nor did she need to worry about Scarlet Rot stirring whenever she called upon her power.
Now, she was a normal Demigod.
Malenia sat in a chair, still moving her hands and feet, her eyes studying the limbs that had "grown" back with curiosity.
She reached out and touched Helena's face beside her. It felt soft and plump.
Like a kitten, Helena rubbed against her palm.
"Lady Malenia, I heard your hands were different, but they still feel soft and fleshy," Helena said with a smile.
"Soft and fleshy?" Malenia felt her own right hand.
Yes, of course they were soft and fleshy.
She had spent years practicing the Flowing Sword with a prosthesis.
She had never had the chance to use her own palm. Now that it had newly grown back, of course it was soft.
It was unlike the rough, hard palms of someone who had held a weapon for too long.
"How marvelous." Malenia touched her hand. "I never imagined Junior Brother would be the one to help me in the end, repairing my body with some Silver Tears."
"It really is marvelous." Helena kneaded Malenia's arm. "How wonderful. Having your own is still best."
"Of course. There's touch and warmth, too." Malenia's heart burned hot.
She believed this was the "fire" Zhao Si had passed on to her.
