Chapter 17: Soul Perception

If that was the case, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Lin Meng was everything to her.

“A little blurry?”

After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Meng suddenly pulled a branch to the top of the illusory girl’s head.

Following that, the branch slowly broke off and some sparkling liquid seeped out from it.

“I wonder if this essence will be of any use to you.”

Lin Meng wasn’t sure.

After all, this wasn’t an animal but a soul.

This was also the only method Lin Meng could use to help Betty.

The reason why he helped Betty was because, after a short conversation, Lin Meng was shocked to discover that other than her name ringing out, everything else was blank.

Her thoughts were like a blank piece of paper.

And this happened to follow Lin Meng’s heart.

Only a girl like this had the value to be nurtured.

Drip…

Just like dripping water, the essence liquid dripped onto the girl’s forehead.

As the essence of life dripped down, Betty’s illusory body suddenly trembled.

Following that, as if something miraculous had happened, her body became a little more corporeal.

With a glance, one could even see her naked body.

Of course, only Lin Meng could see her.

For some reason, neither the red fox nor the peregrine falcon could see the girl. Instead, Lin Meng could see her with a glance.

Was it because he had a wonderful connection with the girl?

Perhaps.

After all, the girl’s soul was now placed on his tree root, as long as he wanted to.

He could even easily sense what the young girl was thinking.

Suddenly, the young girl spoke.

“Master, I saw it.”

Her voice was pleasantly surprised, like a child showing off his exam results, jumping up and down happily.

“What did you see?”

Hearing the young girl’s voice, Lin Meng also became spirited. This was not bad news.

“I can’t say it.”

After a moment of silence, the young girl was a little embarrassed. She shook her head and continued to add, “However, I seem to be able to let master see it.”

As she spoke, the young girl’s eyes suddenly focused. Immediately after, an invisible force began to surge.

And, at that moment, a corresponding image appeared in Lin Meng’s mind.

In the image, it was a village.

He could faintly see many people crying.

The image changed and Lin Meng saw two beds.

On the bed, there were Betty and Julie.

“Village chief, don’t be sad. Betty shouldn’t be able to make it but Julie still has hope. She’s just fallen into a coma.”

“Coma? She’s not just in a coma. Her high fever hasn’t subsided until now. Haaa…”

A blurry voice slowly sounded.

When Lin Meng heard it, he felt slightly relieved.

Just as he had expected, soul body Betty could sense her sister Julie’s movements.

At this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice suddenly sounded:

“Master, I realized that I can move.”

After remembering you, the scene in Lin Meng’s mind changed. A young girl lying on the bed with a pale face and low sweat suddenly trembled slightly.

His sister Julie’s finger moved.

“It moved, it moved. Village Chief, Julie’s finger moved.”

An excited cry suddenly sounded in the room.

Without waiting for Lin Meng to take a closer look, he felt the scene blur until it disappeared.

…

At this moment, Lin Meng’s consciousness was pulled back to reality.

He turned his gaze and looked at Betty who was not far away and still had her eyes closed. His gaze was somewhat complicated.

Telepathy was a very special ability.

It involved the soul.

Even Lin Meng couldn’t figure it out.

But now, it seemed that Betty could control her sister Julie’s body from afar.

After all, the movement of Julie’s finger was controlled by Betty.

Lin Meng saw a glimmer of hope at this moment.

“I hope I didn’t make the wrong choice.”

Not long after, Betty woke up and shook her head. There was a tired look on her face.

Lin Meng controlled the twig and gently placed it on top of her head as if he was caressing it.

Although there was no feeling of touching it.

However, Betty could not help but let out a laugh that sounded like a silver bell.

“Master.”

“Yes.”

Nodding his head, Lin Meng instructed with a smile.

“Cultivate well and practice your telepathic ability.”

As he spoke, Lin Meng reminded her again.

“If you notice anything abnormal over there, remember to tell me.”

“Abnormal?”

Betty was slightly stunned.

“Yes, abnormal. For example, the body you’re controlling has awakened. Or, for example, there’s some strange person coming…”

At this point, Lin Meng didn’t say anything more.

This girl was like a blank piece of paper. Her knowledge had decreased by a lot.

He didn’t know anything at all.

He didn’t care. In the future, after some time, he would be able to get used to it and it would be much better.

At that time, Lin Meng could even train a decent helper.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she could control her sister’s body from afar and obtain information about humans was the greatest help to Lin Meng.

He didn’t believe in humans.

But, Betty, he could believe in her.

Since Betty existed because of him and had a parasitical relationship with him. This was enough to win Lin Meng’s trust.

As for whether Julie would wake up and tell others about Lin Meng’s existence.

Lin Meng believed that it was impossible.

After all, it shouldn’t be difficult for Betty, who had awakened her spiritual power, to replace Julie.

Of course, there was no rush to replace Julie.

Through the scene just now, Lin Meng discovered that Julie’s body was abnormal.

There was strange energy surging in her body.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the awakening of her innate ability.

And this kind of awakening would take at least ten days to half a month.

And this time was enough for Lin Meng to nurture Betty.

…

Time passed very quickly and, in the blink of an eye, half a night had passed.

A bright morning glow appeared on the horizon, and the air was filled with a translucent white fog.

At this time, Betty, who was still a little weak, had already hugged Lin Meng’s tree roots and slowly fell asleep.

Her heart moved.

As the earth shook, Lin Meng sank the black tree roots into the earth.

Betty was a soul, so Lin Meng didn’t know if she could see the sun.

For safety, it was better to sink the root into the earth.

Moreover, after a night of practice…

Lin Meng was keenly aware that Betty’s soul was placed on his root, which was also good for him.

He couldn’t tell where it was good.

He felt a cool flow in the root, and even the weariness dissipated a lot.

Limon smiled but did not care.

Compared to these indescribable benefits, Betty was more of a conversation partner for Lin Meng.

It seemed that he had not spoken to someone like this for a long time.

This night had relieved a lot of his loneliness.

However, the final thing could not be forgotten.
