Reborn as a Transcendent-Chapter 740Book 3: : I Know Your Body Better Than You Do

“A-are you going to assist my recovery?” Alicia blinked, thinking she had misheard. After all, her strength had already recovered considerably, and the gap between her and Yae-hime had grown far greater than before.

Trying to fit a whole vat of water into a small cup simply wasn’t realistic. In Alicia’s mind, Yae-hime simply hadn’t realized how enormous the difference between them remained, which was why she said such a thing.

She appreciated the goodwill. But an impossible task would remain impossible. She was just preparing to turn her down gently when she spoke first.

“Yes,” Yae-hime nodded. “Because our strength difference is so large, the only way is for me to use my medical technique to assist you.”

Hearing this, Alicia swallowed back the refusal that had already risen to her lips. She knew better than anyone how extraordinary Yae-hime’s medical ability was. After all, she had dragged her back from the edge of death. Skill like that was nothing short of divine.

“And after the previous treatment, I may now understand your body even better than you do. Helping you restore your strength will not be an issue.” Yae-hime continued.

Alicia’s cheeks flushed at those words. Even though she had a special fondness toward Yae-hime… The thought of her body being thoroughly examined while she was unconscious was undeniably embarrassing.

“If everything’s fine, then let’s begin.” Yae-hime gently patted Alicia’s head, and her small face also turned faintly red.

Alicia disliked having her head touched, but whenever Yae-hime did it, she always felt surprisingly comfortable. Unfortunately, after a few strokes, Yae-hime withdrew her hand and lifted Alicia down from her lap.

“O-okay. W-what do I need to do?” Alicia asked from the side, sounding slightly nervous.

“First, remove your clothes.” Yae-hime said calmly.

“Huh?” A shower of question marks practically popped above Alicia’s head.

Lili looked puzzled as well.

“I need to make direct contact with several areas of your body to properly guide the earth energy and wood energy into you.” Seeing their confusion, Yae-hime explained.

“I… I see.” Alicia only half-understood.

Lili nodded. She had seen Yae-hime’s treatment method earlier, and it indeed required the patient to be undressed. If clothing interfered and caused an error, that would be terrible.

“It’s getting late. Prepare yourself and we’ll start.” Yae-hime said. She still had to return to Aoma Village later to keep watch for the Apostle who might arrive.

‘I have four shards now. If I can get three more, I’ll be able to obtain a Sacred Artifact!’ It was a good plan in theory. Sadly, she didn’t know that the First Apostle had already shifted targets and was now focusing on the Sky Empire.

“I-I’ll undress now!” Alicia said, visibly tense. If one looked closely, they would see her body trembling slightly. She had been seen completely before, yes—but she had been unconscious for most of it, so she hadn’t felt particularly embarrassed. Now, undressing in front of Yae-hime while fully awake… the anxiety and shame were overwhelming.

As for being seen by her own sister Lili? Nothing strange about that. They had even bathed together as children.

Soft rustling filled the room as Alicia’s garments came off piece by piece. Meanwhile, her face grew hotter and hotter. Only after quite a struggle did she finally take everything off, becoming as bare as she had been earlier.

The difference was that now it was infinitely more humiliating. It felt like a public execution.

Yae-hime’s gaze showed no ripple at the sight of her beautiful figure. To be honest, her own body was more pleasing to the eye.

‘I’ll tidy Alicia’s physique up a little after this is over.’ A single glance revealed countless small flaws across Alicia’s body. For someone who trained in martial arts, having no imperfections would be the real anomaly.

“Come sit on the bed. I’ll guide you to absorb both earth energy and wood energy at the same time.” Yae-hime said as she removed her boots and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Alicia nodded. Her expression was stiff and unnatural. Her hands twitched as if she wanted to cover herself, but she couldn’t bring herself to act. Her entire body was frozen with embarrassment.

‘Hehe, Big Sis looks so adorable like this.’ Lili couldn’t help covering her mouth as she quietly giggled.

In response, Alicia shot her a small, slightly annoyed glance. She sat down on the bed and, just like Yae-hime, folded her legs into a cross-legged position. The two of them faced each other, their knees separated by only a fist’s distance.

“Relax. Steady your mind,” Yae-hime said.

“O-oh!” Alicia nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath to calm herself. After several seconds, she finally settled into a state of stillness, her mind becoming completely tranquil.

“Next, all you need to do is close your eyes, feel the flow of the energy in your body, and remember it. Don’t do anything else. When it’s time for you to act, I will tell you.” Yae-hime instructed.

“Alright.” Alicia replied, her expression steady.

Lili sat quietly on a chair nearby, silently watching the two of them.

“Before that, I’ll test manipulating the earth energy.” As she spoke, Yae-hime extended her hand, palm up. Her expression sharpened, and a surge of powerful aura burst forth from her entire body.

In the next moment, the entire mountain peak began to tremble!

Outside, Moon was startled by the sudden upheaval, but once she sensed the aura inside, she quickly composed herself. “For someone so young to possess such frightening potential… Princess’ growth is truly something to look forward to.” She murmured softly.

Inside the cave, both Lili and Alicia wore astonished expressions. First, they were shocked by how much stronger Yae-hime had grown. Then came the shock of the sheer volume of earth energy inside the cave. It was so dense it was almost suffocating!

Yae-hime gently curled her fingers, and the earth energy responded as if deeply captivated, sweeping toward her all at once.

‘Little Hime’s control over earth energy is completely different from Big Sis! She handles it as naturally as her own breath!’ Lili thought.

“No wonder she’s called the Child of Destiny,” Alicia murmured in admiration.

They were amazed, but Yae-hime was just as shocked in her own heart. ‘What’s going on? Am I… manipulating earth power?’ Suddenly, she remembered the new ability she had obtained earlier, Basic Earth Force.

‘So it really is earth manipulation… I hit the jackpot!’ In that moment, the earth energy draped itself over Yae-hime like a thin veil of gauze. It gave her an air both sacred and solemn.

Looking at her like this, a phrase surfaced instantly in Alicia’s mind: Child of Earth.

That was a title granted only to those favored by the Earth God. Clearly, someone who could freely manipulate the power of earth, like Yae-hime, was fully qualified for such a title. However, to Yae-hime herself, titles had little value. Money was far more practical.

“Calm yourself,” Yae-hime said, turning to Alicia with a serene gaze.

After a few seconds of adjustment, Alicia had already steadied herself completely. Hearing the instruction, she immediately closed her eyes and centered her mind. At that same moment, Yae-hime extended her other hand, and a verdant flame rose from her palm.

The wood energy contained within that green fire was countless times purer than the natural wood energy in this place. With both hands ready, Yae-hime’s pupils shifted into a brilliant emerald green as she peered directly into Alicia’s body.

Then, she placed one hand over Alicia’s chest and the other on her abdomen, sending two powerful flows of energy flooding into her simultaneously!
