Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: The Curse of Grace (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
He Ao gazed at the girl before him. Although her expression seemed fine, something felt off.
She seemed to believe his words ‘too quickly’.
The girl appeared naive but wasn’t actually foolish. Even though she did ‘admire’ ‘Minister He’, it wasn’t just a single sentence that convinced her, not even questioning the details.
Then He Ao became aware of something. He paused slightly, looked at Ye Ying, and softly asked, “Do you yourself sense something about these matters?”
Ye Ying was taken aback by his question and, after a brief silence, nodded lightly, “Yes,”
She thought for a moment and said slowly, “Since I was little, I’ve had a feeling that as I age, the people around me seem to grow stronger, but I become increasingly weak.”
She paused, seemingly realizing her remark was ambiguous, and continued, “I can’t say I’m getting weaker and weaker; I feel like I’m growing too, but the gap with my peers is widening. My physical strength lags far behind ordinary people.
“While they might feel tired after walking one or two kilometers, I feel extremely fatigued after just a few hundred meters.
“When I was little, my parents took me to many doctors, but none of them could help. They all considered me ‘healthy,’ just somewhat frail.
“Different doctors prescribed different medicines, from regular drugs to herbal remedies. Even when I was in middle school, I was still taking medicine, but my body remained weak and kept weakening.
“After my brother started ‘working,’ he sought out many people to look after me, but they couldn’t pinpoint the cause of my frailty. They just thought I was inherently weak,
“However, following their advice, my parents stopped giving me the medication I’d been taking. They believed the toxins accumulated from these drugs actually harmed my health further.
“Later, when I joined the Research Institute, I learned those people were renowned scholars from the institute,
“After stopping the medication, my health improved a little but quickly deteriorated again.”
She looked at He Ao and spoke slowly, “Actually, a year before I gained extraordinary power, I often felt short of breath, sometimes became inattentive during classes, felt abnormally tired, and had trouble concentrating.
“Often, while lying in bed asleep, I seemed to sense, ‘I’m about to die.'”
She spoke softly, “Yet the awakening of my talent changed everything. I gained far more energy and mobility than before, though I know my physical fitness is still significantly lagging compared to normal transcendents.”
“Did you tell your family about all this?”
He Ao looked at Ye Ying and asked softly.
“I didn’t dare tell my parents. They’ve already worried about me plenty since I was young,” Ye Ying withdrew her gaze and looked at the dim night sky overhead, “But my brother knows my health improved after gaining transcendence. He believes transcendence might be the ‘cure’ for my physical issues and continues to search for ways for me to ‘advance’ smoothly.”
She paused, then continued, “But I can clearly sense that I’m still, little by little, becoming ‘weak,’ just at a slower pace than before. Transcendence only altered my constitution, making death feel more distant, but it can’t change my fate toward death. And,”
