Regarding Yue Hengyi's request, Shen Feng immediately nodded and replied, "Don't worry, first help her onto the bed. I'll stitch up the wound. Later, you'll pour the ability potion into her mouth, turning Sayaka into an evolved being. During the evolution process, most injuries can be healed."
"Hurry and stitch it up. How could this happen? She was fine during the day. Why would she commit suicide now? I can't understand it at all!" Yue Hengyi said helplessly.
Originally, Yue Hengyi had intended to sincerely apologize, and if necessary, compensate her with a lot of wealth. However, as soon as he entered Sayaka's room with the ability potion, he saw Sayaka slitting her wrists. The ground was covered in blood, and a smell of blood permeated the air. Yue Hengyi immediately became nervous.
Shen Feng skillfully stitched Sayaka's wound. Although his needlework was not as good as a professional doctor's, it was already remarkable under the circumstances.
At this moment, Shen Feng said, "Fortunately, Sayaka didn't know that slitting wrists wouldn't kill her. So, even after cutting herself so many times, the blood loss was still limited. If she had committed suicide by sword, she truly wouldn't have been saved!"
Yue Hengyi quickly opened Sayaka's mouth and poured all the pale green ability potion into it. Sayaka unconsciously drank the ability potion and then her whole body began to heat up. The fever during the day was a reaction of the body to a cold, while the current fever was because she was about to evolve.
Immediately, granulation began to grow at the wound on Sayaka's injured arm, and the wound healed, leaving a faint scar. Sayaka's breathing also gradually became steady. It was clear that Sayaka was now safe. As soon as she woke up, she would become an ability user.
Ranzi watched helplessly as the precious ability potion was drunk by Sayaka, and felt heartbroken. In fact, she had intended to use Sayaka to trick the ability potion. If Sayaka gave her the ability potion, she could also cultivate ability users. However, even this plan had failed, as Yue Hengyi personally administered the ability potion to Sayaka.
"Really, a commoner can also drink such a precious potion. What a waste. If I could use it, that would be great!" Ranzi thought to herself. She couldn't help but become jealous. She thought she would be the first to become an ability user, but now Sayaka, who appeared later, had surpassed her.
Shen Feng looked back and saw Ranzi staring intently. He immediately understood and quickly said to Ranzi, "Don't be envious. Speaking of which, I was planning to leave an ability potion for you too. It's perfect for you to use now. Follow me!"
Upon hearing Shen Feng say this, Ranzi became overjoyed. The ability potion she had dreamed of was finally within her grasp, and she could finally become an ability user!
After the incident of being chased by mutated beasts, Ranzi had completely emerged from her previous pampered young lady persona. She finally realized how fragile ordinary people were when danger struck. To have the ability to protect herself, she had to become an ability user. Otherwise, when the natural disaster struck, ordinary people would be like ants, crushed with a flip of a hand.
Now, finally able to achieve her wish, Ranzi was very happy and immediately followed Shen Feng upstairs.
Returning to the room, Shen Feng found the basket containing the ability potions. He rummaged through the ability potions and found one that was not very useful, labeled "Mental Control." This ability controlled others through hypnotic waves, which seemed very powerful. However, this ability had a fatal flaw: it could not control opponents whose mental strength was higher than one's own.
In simple terms, it could only control ordinary people and those weaker than oneself. For strong individuals, this ability had no effect whatsoever.
"It's this ability. Ranzi, this is a very strong ability. A fourth-tier ability user once challenged us and was eventually killed by me. This was extracted from his head. Drink it quickly. When you wake up, you will be an ability user!" Shen Feng said afterward.
Although this ability was not very useful to Shen Feng, he still packaged it as a powerful ability to make Ranzi happy. As for how Ranzi would use it in the future, it had nothing to do with Shen Feng!
"Drink it quickly. It will take five to six days to become an ability user. Calculating the time, I will be leaving Kagoshima soon!" Shen Feng urged Ranzi.
Ranzi did not hesitate. She opened the vial and tilted her head back, drinking all the ability potion. After drinking it, Ranzi still wanted to say something, but at that moment, she suddenly felt dizzy and then collapsed.
Shen Feng caught her and found an empty room to place her in. It seemed that Sayaka had entered the evolution state.
In the following days, Yue Hengyi spent almost all his time in Sayaka's room, watching her with remorse. He never expected that he had truly harmed a kind woman. Shen Feng, on the other hand, visited Ranzi when he had time, and spent the rest of his time playing games in his study.
Finally, after Yue Hengyi waited anxiously for five days, Sayaka finally woke up. The moment she woke up, she murmured, "Am I in heaven now?"
When Yue Hengyi heard her voice, he immediately stood up excitedly and quickly said, "Miss Sayaka, how are you feeling now? I saved you. Why did you try to take your own life? Tell me if there's anything troubling you!"
Seeing Yue Hengyi's face, Sayaka suddenly realized that she was not dead. She then asked sadly, "Why did you save me? I don't want to live anymore. I know you are a good person, and I don't deserve your concern!"
Yue Hengyi quickly explained, "Miss Sayaka, I know it must be my fault. I couldn't control myself and ended up hurting you. Even though I knew you were forced and were carrying out a mission, I acted rashly and did something I shouldn't have. Therefore, it's my responsibility. If you resent me, hit me. I won't fight back, and I'll try my best to satisfy whatever you want!"
Upon hearing Yue Hengyi's concerned words, Sayaka smiled bitterly and shook her head, explaining, "It's not your fault. It's my husband. I saw him with another woman with my own eyes, so I felt like I had lost everything. I just wanted to die. It wasn't your influence!"
With this explanation, Yue Hengyi's sense of guilt diminished considerably. So, it wasn't the harm he had caused Sayaka that led to her suicide. But then again, Sayaka was already married and had a husband, which meant that what he had done was even more immoral?
As Yue Hengyi was lost in thought, Sayaka said sadly, "This world is too ugly. It forces people who don't want to die to die, yet persuades those who want to die to live. As a result, everyone becomes half-dead, making the world look so ugly!"
Yue Hengyi thought for a moment and advised, "Miss Sayaka, you shouldn't be so pessimistic. You are such an excellent woman. If your husband did something wrong to you, it's his loss. You should just leave your husband and live independently. Moreover, you should be happy that you are now an ability user. There are still many beautiful things in this world waiting to be discovered. If you only look down, you will only see dirty soil, but if you look up, you will find a vast blue sky above!"
Sayaka was moved by Yue Hengyi's persuasion. She finally began to think, why couldn't she live independently? Why did she have to rely on men to live? Perhaps she could live well on her own, or perhaps she could find a man who truly loved her!
In Japan, women largely depend on men for their livelihood, so there are many full-time housewives. After losing their source of income, these housewives have to rely on their husbands for everything. Even if their husbands get angry and scold them, they can only endure it silently, leading to housewives who cannot bear the burden of family life committing suicide. This is a result of the environment. Sayaka had also been poisoned by such thinking early on. When she discovered her husband's betrayal, she was completely disheartened.
However, Yue Hengyi now presented Sayaka with a new direction, which immediately made her sober up. That's right, she could still live independently and didn't need to rely on anyone. Women could also hold up half the sky.
"Ability user? Am I an ability user now?" Sayaka suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Yue Hengyi.
Yue Hengyi nodded seriously and said, "That's right, you are now an ability user. If you don't believe me, just concentrate your attention, and you can feel the power within your body. If you still can't, then it can only be unleashed in life-or-death situations."
The difficulty of using abilities varies among ability users. Some can use their abilities easily, while others can only unleash them when pushed to the brink.
Sayaka closed her eyes and tried to sense it, but felt nothing. She could only look at Yue Hengyi helplessly.
However, after Sayaka got up, she found that her strength had surged. She could lift heavy tables with ease, a strength she had never dared to imagine before. Furthermore, in terms of speed, she had a new understanding, and her perception of the outside world had changed.
"Feel it carefully. This is the world of ability users. When you can use your abilities smoothly, you will truly become a strong person. I will teach you slowly!" Yue Hengyi said quickly.
Now, Yue Hengyi had found a way to atone for his sins: teaching Sayaka, who had lost her support, to live independently. In this way, he had also made amends for his mistake.
However, Yue Hengyi still had more important things to clarify, and that was what task had been assigned to Sayaka.
"Miss Sayaka, can you tell me who forced you to do these things? I can tell that you were unwilling that night. They must have threatened you, which is why you had to do this! I will get revenge for you, please believe me!" Yue Hengyi said indignantly. At this moment, he desperately wanted to find the instigator and teach them a lesson.
Sayaka opened her mouth, ready to reveal笠原兰子's coercion and enticement. But as she opened her mouth, she thought of something. It seemed that Ranzi had a relationship with Lord Shen Fuyao. If she revealed it, wouldn't it cause these two to fall out? They had always called each other brothers before. If they really started fighting, it would be brothers turning against each other.
"Lord Yi Hengyue takes such good care of me and even made me an ability user. How can I do anything that would be detrimental to him?" Sayaka thought to herself and then closed her mouth.
"No one forced me. I did it voluntarily. I was attracted by your demeanor, and I couldn't help myself. Please don't ask about this anymore!" Sayaka replied immediately.
Yue Hengyi was unwilling at this moment. He knew that someone was fanning the flames from behind the scenes, but Sayaka did not want to reveal their identities. Thus, without evidence, Yue Hengyi could not arbitrarily turn hostile, and seeking revenge would be difficult to achieve.
Thinking of this, Yue Hengyi could only sigh helplessly and say, "Never mind, I won't pursue this matter anymore. After all, I will be leaving here in a few days. My injuries have recovered a lot, and I can walk and run now. Moreover, my vital energy has also recovered. There's no point in staying here any longer, and I don't want to attract enemies for you!"
