Join the ServerThe methods Bai Ye employed were something Felicia had never heard of nor seen.
She didn’t think healing magic could reach such a level.
Although Felicia didn’t know much about magic, healing magic that could instantly cure severe injuries generally didn’t exist.
“So, what exactly is life magic?” Felicia asked curiously.
“That’s a long story. It might take a while,” Bai Ye replied.
“Then just make it short.”
“Good point.” Bai Ye nodded in agreement.
So Bai Ye began to tell Felicia about life magic.
Among the six gods, there was a God of Life.
Legend had it that the God of Life taught life magic to an elf, who then established the Church of Life in the Elf Sea.
Well, actually, it wasn’t just a legend. Many examples now showed that life magic and the God of Life were indeed connected.
The Church of Life was also the most powerful and popular church on the Heavenly Awakening Continent.
After all, life magic was incredibly strong. It could not only heal injuries but also extend lifespan and even resurrect the dead.
In this world, there was no shortage of magic that healed injuries or extended life, but none could compare to life magic.
Everyone wanted to live a few more years; no one wanted to die. That was why the Church of Life was so vast, with countless wealthy landowners and even kings contributing immense wealth and resources to it.
“It sounds amazing!” Felicia looked at Bai Ye, her eyes practically turning into starry sparkles. “Master, master, do I have the potential to learn life magic?”
“… Don’t look at me like that. Life magic is not passed on to outsiders unless you join the Church of Life. Only then might you learn it,” Bai Ye said, feeling a bit awkward under Felicia’s intense gaze.
“Where is the Church of Life? How many days will it take to get there?” Felicia seemed serious, already preparing to depart.
“The Church of Life is in Shengyu City, the capital of the Elf Sea. With those two short legs of yours, it would take at least half a year.”
“But in this era, teleportation arrays are everywhere, so distance isn’t a problem. However… will she let you leave?”
Would Seraphina let Felicia leave?
The answer was definitely no.
If Seraphina would let Felicia leave, she wouldn’t have captured her in the first place, nor would she have tortured her so harshly in a fit of rage.
“How about I call you master, and you take me away!” Felicia was on the verge of kneeling to Bai Ye.
Actually, she could kneel. After all, kneeling to a beautiful girl didn’t put much psychological pressure on Felicia.
“No, please don’t. I can’t beat her. I’m afraid she’ll chop me into pieces,” Bai Ye quickly waved her hands. “But I can help you persuade her.”
“Will it succeed?”
“As long as you don’t think about escaping, it should succeed.”
“…” Felicia’s expression shifted from excitement to indifference.
Unless Felicia was tortured to death by Seraphina one day, or completely tamed, it was unlikely she would stop thinking about escaping.
Bai Ye could see Felicia’s determination but didn’t call her out on it.
“Since you’re healed, I should be going. I still need to find Seraphina for the medical fees. I’m going to gouge her for a good sum.” Bai Ye stood up to leave.
“Wait, wait…” Felicia said softly.
Bai Ye stopped.
“Can you come again next time?”
When Felicia was around Bai Ye, she felt a sense of comfort.
This feeling… if she had to describe it, it was like a blade meeting its scabbard, or a puzzle piece finding its perfect match.
“Who knows? The future is hard to tell.” Bai Ye didn’t readily agree or refuse outright.
“But if I have time, maybe I’ll drop by?”
This time, Felicia said nothing. She quietly watched Bai Ye leave.
After Bai Ye left, she stared out the window again, watching the birds fly freely.
When would she be like those birds?
Felicia thought.

In the pavilion, Bai Ye and Seraphina sat facing each other.
This time, Seraphina had heeded Bai Ye’s advice and filled Bai Ye’s cup with wine instead of tea.
Bai Ye raised the cup and downed it in one gulp.
“Hmm… average taste, not strong enough,” Bai Ye commented.
“This brand is quite popular with many people. You’re the first to give such an appraisal,” Seraphina said.
“Everyone has their likes and dislikes. Just because others like and pursue something doesn’t mean I do too,” Bai Ye said casually.
“I don’t want to beat around the bush. Let’s get straight to it. I’ve finished the treatment. Can we settle the bill?”
“After all we’ve been through as friends, that hurts me.”
“Cut it out. Even brothers settle accounts clearly. And I can’t see any sign of you being hurt.” Bai Ye waved her hand.
“Ehehe~” Seraphina winked mischievously. “I’m just kidding. The reward won’t be shortchanged. Five hundred thousand crystals. How’s that? Generous enough?”
“Just so-so. I charge a hundred thousand crystals for extending someone’s life by a year. That’s only fifty years’ worth of payment,” Bai Ye said.
As a master of life magic, she was never short of money. When she needed cash, she’d simply visit a wealthy official on the verge of death and use life magic to extend their life.
One hundred thousand crystals per year—a fair price, honest and reliable, even cheaper than the Church of Life.
Of course, she could also approach wealthy officials who weren’t dying. After all, no one would complain about living longer, just as no one would complain about having too much money.
“You make me a bit envious. When will you teach me life magic?”
“Then go to the Church of Life in Shengyu City yourself and see if those elves will take you in. Life magic requires affinity—it’s not like other magic that anyone can learn.” Bai Ye stretched.
“Also, I have a suggestion: you could add a backrest to these chairs. They’re too uncomfortable to sit in.”
“You really treat this place like your own home, don’t you…” Seraphina said helplessly.
But she wasn’t displeased. In Seraphina’s impression, Bai Ye was always like this—uninhibited and carefree.
She had made many enemies, but with her immense power and backing, almost no one in this world could threaten her.
“What’s yours or mine? I saved your life, after all. That makes me your lifesaver.”
“That’s true,” Seraphina admitted.
“Well then, as your lifesaver, I’ll give you a piece of advice, or rather a suggestion.”
Bai Ye leaned forward, interlaced her fingers, and her usual relaxed demeanor vanished, replaced by seriousness.
“What advice?”
