Novel Full Chapter 279 Reunion
After 9 days of being unconscious, Mira’s eyes finally trembled, but she didn’t open her eyes just yet. Normally, the first thing she would do whenever she wakes up is to check out her surroundings, but Mira didn’t even need to do that to know that she was on Elenei’s back flying through the sky.
So, she decided to take things slow for now and just enjoy this brief period of respite while she still can. With that said, she felt absolutely amazing right now! She didn’t know how long she was out, but she guessed that it was probably somewhere around a week. Mira also wouldn’t be surprised if she was asleep longer than that. She knew just how tired she was and she knew exactly how exhausted her mind, body, and soul were.
Not only had she basically died several times or at least came extremely close to death, but she was tortured and healed countless times. While, yes, she was always brought back to her peak condition at the end of every torture session, it still puts a huge strain on her body, mind, and soul. Especially her mind and soul.
Not to mention she also experienced 99 other lives and the things she witnessed have yet to be fully integrated into her mind as well.
Honestly, Mira was expecting to be out cold for at least half a month due to all the shit that she went through.
She was also thankful that her companions aren’t complete idiots and decided to keep traveling even while she was unconscious. It would have been a serious waste of time if they were to stay in one place for however long she was unconscious.
However, Mira also thought something was strange.
‘Why are we still flying? Elenei should’ve been able to make it to our destination by now. I guess I’ll have to wake up and ask them what’s going on.’
Mira thought to herself before she finally opened her eyes. Once she finally opened her eyes and saw what was in front of her, she froze.
Meanwhile, Maria was about to start stroking Mira’s hair and cupping her cheeks, but she froze when she made eye contact with Mira’s now open eyes.
That’s when Mira noticed that she was lying in a weird position. It only took her a few seconds to notice she was in Maria’s lap!
They just stared at each other in silence for a while and Mira swore she could hear a boisterous laugh that sounded awfully similar to The Guardian’s laugh!
Mira’s face darkened and her eyes narrowed as she thought back to the times he would tease her about her having a romantic relationship with Maria.
She really wanted to beat the shit out of a few people right about now, but now wasn’t the right time for her to get angry. She took a few deep breaths and somehow she was able to reign in her anger, but that still didn’t prevent her from glaring at Maria.
Maria, not being able to withstand Mira’s glare, turned her head and started whistling like nothing happened.
Mira quickly got out of Maria’s lap and that’s when Celaine noticed that Mira was finally awake. However, Mira noticed there was something off about Celaine’s current appearance. She looked like a beggar with dark bags under her eyes!
“Mira! You’re finally awake! Tell us! What the hell did you get while you were inside that creepy place?! Please, whatever it is, turn it off or throw it away! For some reason, the entire world seems out to get us! We won’t even be able to make it to our destination at this rate!”
“Mira’s finally awake!? Thank goodness!! Mira, please tell us what happened while you were inside that place and why everything seems like it’s out to get us!”
Celaine and Elenei both exclaimed at the same time when they noticed Mira was awake.
Seeing how anxious the two of them looked and hearing what they just said, Mira immediately knew why they hadn’t made it to their destination just yet.
“Ahhhhhh… Yeah, that might be my fault. I was fucking scammed and I didn’t even realize it before it was too late.”
Mira then proceeded to explain to them what happened inside that place, though she did leave out some of the important bits like the Orb, the name of the inheritance, and The Guardian.
However, she told them just about everything else. She told them all about the tortuous events she had to go through, a few of the rewards that she received, and the fact that her Karmic luck had taken a significant drop after she became the successor to the inheritance that was in that place.
Maria, Celaine, and even Elenei were all shocked by what they heard and felt a chill run down their spines as all their hairs stood on end. They were so glad they didn’t follow Mira into that place because they knew that they don’t have the willpower that Mira has nor do they have such a high pain tolerance. Death was the only outcome for them if they entered. No, according to Mira’s explanation, they would be considered lucky if they actually got to die.
She also told them that she got a recipe that will allow her to form a perfect core and that she received a space similar to a Spatial Ring where she can store and grow plants and at the same time store other items.
She didn’t feel like telling them just how amazing her Infinite Garden and the Storage Space were. It’s not that she didn’t trust them because she did, for the most part. She knew Maria and Celaine wouldn’t go around spewing nonsense and Elenei was contracted to her so even if she wanted to do something, it would only hurt her.
Mira didn’t trust other people and it was only after meeting The Guardian did she know that someone out there might be capable of reading someone’s mind or stealing information straight from someone’s mind.
While Mira herself is confident that anyone below the Immortal Realm won’t be able to read her mind or if they can then they’ll definitely pay a price. Maria and Celaine aren’t the same while Elenei will end up knowing more about it eventually so there’s no need to share everything right now.
It took a while for Mira to finish recalling everything she went through and it wasn’t until she finished did she notice Maria was looking at her with tears in her eyes and Celaine was looking at her with a bit of sympathy and pity in her eyes. Mira assumed it was because she went through all that shit and got barely anything to show for it.
Maria pulled her into her lap and hugged while shoving her face into her voluptuous chest while stroking Mira’s hair.
“It’s okay, Mira. I’m here for you. We’re here for you. You can let it all out if you need to. There’s no need to hide.”
Mira’s icy heart warmed up a bit, but her expression didn’t change nor did any tears fall from her eyes. Sure, it was probably the worst pain she’s ever felt and she has serious doubts as to whether things could actually get worse in that aspect, but that’s not the type of pain that could ever make Mira weep.
However, that doesn’t mean she’s going to stop Maria from crying for her. Maybe it’s because she experienced all those other lives or maybe the threat of true death and eternal damnation still weighed on her mind, but she felt like she should probably be a bit more considerate towards her companions.
So, instead of pushing Maria away like she would normally do, she let her do whatever she wanted to right now.
The journey was silent for a while before Mira decided it was time for her to ask her own questions.
She slowly got out of Maria’s embrace and looked at everyone before asking the number one question that was on her mind.
“So, why are we not at our destination yet?”
