Within a minute all the blood that the snake-like muscle had bled out had disappeared into thin air. The snake-like muscle then stopped bleeding on the floor before quickly slithering back onto the arm of Annette, and wiggling itself back into its previous position on the arm.
Looking at Annette's arm, Lain couldn't even see a single thing out of place, after the snake-like muscle went back into position, and changed its color back to that of Annette's skin.
"You have such an interesting ability!" Lain exclaimed in shock and awe. "It truly is a wonderful ability, sister Annette. I wonder what will power you're cultivating?" Hui Shi asked, as his mind began to ponder the possible will powers that he had read of in the past, that this ability could possibly come from.
"My immortal will power is called the Hidden Serpent Immortal. It allows me to hide and traverse the world in secret like a hidden serpent. Being able to transform my muscles into various serpents is a subset of this power that helps me fight those who try to harm me, as well as rescue those in need." Annette said shyly. She felt very blessed to be given such an amazing cultivation book, by the mysterious man that she met in the past.
"Hidden Serpent Immortal? That sounds like a pretty amazing will power. Congratulations for cultivating such a wonderful power. It must've helped you a lot growing up." Lain stated, with a smile on his face.
"I almost lost the cultivation book many times after that mysterious man gave it to me as a child. I even threw it away many times. But each time the book was misplaced, it always appeared in my hands, after I woke up from sleep the next day, as if it was following me. The book has been a great mystery that I've been trying to uncover my entire life." Annette added, as a thoughtful expression surfaced on her slightly beautiful face.
"It seems the mysterious man who gave you the book was truly a thought-provoking character. Casting a spell of sorts on the book that makes it soul bound to you is truly a unique thing to do for a child." Hui Shi said. He also felt slightly surprised by the ability of the book to miraculously appear on Annette, every time she fell asleep.
After Hui Shi finished speaking, the light in the room slowly came back on, as the darkness surrounding the trio disappeared.
The holographic screen that was previously hovering in front of Lain, that disappeared previously also appeared again, as soon the room fully regained its light.
Seeing this, Hui Shi smiled and said to Annette. "It seems your blood is pretty powerful, for such a small amount of it to replenish the runes so quickly."
