Chapter 187: Thanks and Undercurrents
After coming back with food and a few other useful items, Ash stayed by her side the entire time.
Even though Elysia was sleeping, it wasn’t because she wanted to.
Deep down, she was desperate to talk to him, to hear his voice again, to ask the thousand questions that were clinging to her heart like vines. But Ash had gently asked her to rest.
He didn’t want to risk anyone overhearing their conversation. Because he already knew—the very first thing she would ask him would either be about his transmigration or his past life.
Those same thoughts haunted him as well. He was just as desperate to know the truth.
How had she ended up in this world? How did she adapt in this world? How was she living this entire time? There were too many tangled emotions inside him, too many questions with no answers yet.
After explaining to her that they were inside the inner space of the World Tree, and that the World Tree herself had been the one to heal her wounds, Ash had also warned her that their conversation might be overheard.
Only after hearing this did Elysia finally give up on speaking, although she never let go of his hand. She held it firmly, her fingers curled around his as if trying to anchor him there, afraid that if she loosened her grip even a little, he might leave her alone again.
Thanks to the thick and gentle waves of life energy that constantly filled the space around them, it didn’t take long for her body to recover.
The environment played a vital role, soothing her wounds from within. Her recovery was astonishingly fast—much quicker than anyone would have expected. In just under an hour, she was already back to full health. Not even half a day had passed.
Then, as if someone had been waiting for that very moment, a portal shimmered into existence. The World Tree, still appearing in Serena’s form, stepped through with the real Serena beside her.
What a perfect timing... she was definitely listening...
