How Could the Villainous Young Master Be a Saintess?-Chapter 48: A cure for dark diseases?
"Recording Stone, activate."
Vanessa smiled softly as she continued to comb the fur of the little jade-white fox, now lying on her back with its legs in the air, secretly ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) activating the recording stone.
The little fox would never have expected her to produce a recording stone out of thin air.
"Your leg was injured earlier, right? Does it hurt? Hang in there, I’ll treat it for you." As she spoke, Vanessa's palm began to glow with a light pink hue, and she cast a basic healing spell on Jiuli Xue.
A tingling sensation spread across Jiuli Xue’s hind leg, and she couldn't help but let out a few soft, seductive moans.
Is this the healing magic of the Aeciphysis family?
If she remembered correctly, the light from the [Saint's Light] was usually green, white, or gold in color, with gold being the color most closely associated with a [Saint] whose connection was strongest.
But only the healing light of the Saintess was pink.
So, it was true. She was this generation's Saintess.
But why had she not heard any news about the change of Saintess in the human church??
Had she not been well-informed? No, that couldn’t be it.
The feeling was like soaking in a warm, misty hot spring, her body relaxing as the pain from her wounds dissipated into a pleasant tingling sensation. It didn’t hurt; instead, it was soothing, like a warm current spreading through her limbs, healing her broken body.
During this process, Jiuli Xue was surprised to find that her chronic ailment had actually been suppressed and was showing signs of improvement, which amazed her greatly.
This was her one true weakness. Over the years, traveling from place to place, she had secretly searched for a cure for this fatal disease caused by her bloodline. She had tried countless methods but had found nothing that worked.
She had even considered that the [Saint's Soul] magic from the Fanghui Church might cure her, so she captured several famous nuns from the Fanghui Church and had them heal her. But even the golden healing light had no effect on her chronic ailment.
She had once given up after reading in an ancient alchemical tome, where it was stated: "Only the creator or originator of the Saint’s bloodline might have the solution to inherent flaws or diseases, but even that is merely a possibility."
Not even the greatest alchemists of ancient times could do anything, so it was clear that this "possibility" was something that could be entirely disregarded.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Ancestor and the Succubus Queen Ancestor, resurrecting her two ancestors? Even Jiuli Xue knew that this was impossible. No one could achieve such a thing.
She had almost given up, but unexpectedly, fortune smiled upon her. She had found the "antidote" to the disease that had troubled her since birth by pure accident.
Soon, the injury on her leg healed, and the healing session ended. The feeling of warmth like a winter sun had melted away with the thawing snow, completely dissipating.
Jiuli Xue reluctantly opened her alluring eyes, but the magical circuits that had been revitalized by the melting snow were once again blocked by the intense cold.
What was happening? It had seemed to improve before.
Could it be...?
Looking at the pink-haired girl, whose hair flowed over her fur, Jiuli Xue thought of a possibility.
The healing spell the girl had used earlier was weak, probably a very low-level healing spell.
Given the girl's current Soul Level, it wasn’t difficult to guess that she hadn’t yet learned higher-level healing spells.
If the lowest level of healing magic could suppress her chronic ailment, what would more advanced magic do?
For a moment, a strange glimmer flashed in Jiuli Xue's eyes, and a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Saintess, you're truly lucky. Even heaven doesn't want me to kill you at this moment. It seems we have a deep connection~
Jiuli Xue rested her jaw on Vanessa’s soft thigh, inhaling the pleasant scent of white tea flowers that drifted from her falling pink hair.
Women from the Aeciphysis family may all feign innocence, but they were all exceptionally beautiful.
Strangely, the scent on this woman was something Jiuli Xue couldn’t get enough of, and she found it extremely enticing, which puzzled her.
As a renowned demon lord, she had received countless tributes from the smaller lords and demon generals, many of which included precious alchemical perfumes and velvet silks. But the scent of these luxuries, along with their value, had no appeal to her; they merely gathered dust in her vault.
Why was it that this human woman’s scent was so pleasing and alluring to her?
Jiuli Xue narrowed her eyes.
Indeed, it would be a shame to kill her, especially since she was the only "medicine" that could suppress or even cure her chronic ailment. She couldn’t afford to make a mistake now.
However, the outside world was still too dangerous. After all, there were many people with ill intentions in this world. To protect this naïve Saintess from being targeted by bad people, Jiuli Xue had no choice but to reluctantly place her in her "safe box" for protection.

Although she had lost her freedom, she had gained a life free from worry about food and shelter. Wasn’t that good?
Jiuli Xue had made up her mind. She seemed confident that Vanessa posed no threat to her, so she had already labeled her as her "exclusive medicine."
As for whether the girl would obediently serve her as a "medicine"?
Jiuli Xue hadn’t even thought about it. The nuns she had captured in the demon temple didn’t want to heal her at first, but didn’t they all relent under her "persuasion"?
To her, personal will was irrelevant. There were countless ways to break someone’s will. Compared to those nuns, this girl was clearly more special, so her methods would be a bit gentler, but that was all.
However, Jiuli Xue didn’t realize that the girl had already seen through her identity and intentions, and had calculated everything in advance.
Feeling a little hungry, Vanessa took out a piece of black bread and went to the riverbank to wash her hands. With graceful movements, she tore a small piece of bread and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.
It was clearly just an extremely cheap black bread, yet it somehow tasted like a delicacy to the girl.
"Baby, are you hungry?" Vanessa’s soft voice, like that of a lover, gently slipped into the heart, like a spring rain on the fields.
Jiuli Xue felt dazed for a moment before a piece of bread was offered to her lips.
She sniffed it. Though she wasn’t picky about food, the appearance of this bread didn’t even compare to the leftovers of her own servants.
But.
Jiuli Xue’s gaze fell on the black bread, or more accurately, on the two slender fingers holding it. They were as pale as snow, flawless like jade.
Just looking at them made her appetite increase.
After a moment of silence, she took the bread and began to chew slowly.
Accustomed to delicacies, she found the taste surprisingly pleasant.
