They say seeing is believing, but what if the world we see is just an illusion?
What will you do? How will you thrive?
There's a reason they say ignorance is bliss.
...
'There's no way we can escape. In a split second, he can deliver us to our death that easily. No matter what we do, no matter how I hate this, with his personality he will kill us.
'Even in my death! I will try to at least take something from him! He may not care about her so much, but I know he's just a human. He will suffer once he lost something that is giving him importance.
'I will make her forget! With this poisonous ability of mine, even if she didn't die and the young master of the Lin Family saved her life, she will forget everything!
'JUST LIKE ME!!!'
Teng Cheng thought swiftly, his arms became covered poisonous and with no one reacting!
He dashed towards his brother near to him. His brother Teng Feng was so shocked that his brother Teng Cheng meant harm to him.
"What are you doing, fool-!"
PENG!
Young master Lin was faster. He picked up a tone and imbued it with pure natural energy, and with a flick, the head of Teng Cheng exploded like a stone met an egg with a bang.
'I don't know what you're planning, but this young master was prepared for it! You may not be controlled by my coffin, but right now, your death satisfies because I've seen it from your eyes.'
Young master Lin turned his attention to Teng Feng.
'It's your turn!'
However, before he could split Teng Feng's head like Teng Cheng using a sharp stone.
"AAAARRRGGHHH!!!"
Teng Feng was on the floor! Young master Lin had no mercy. He picked up another sharp stone and was about to swing it when.
"GAAAARRRHH!!"
Young master noticed that Li Ren, who was on the side, fell too.
'I thought she won't feel the same thing as Teng Feng. Why?
'She's lying?
'Why?
'Why? I did not do something special to her that may lead her to sacrifice her life for me! So why? Even if I accidentally helped her family, she's a cultivator already.
'She's not that attached to her mortal family, right? So why lie to me? She doesn't even want me to worry about her?'
The young master observes Teng Feng in the distance and then Li Ren who was suffering from poison.
'I am not that attached to this girl. However, she is extremely loyal and gives herself to me. I would be a fool if I responded without helping her out. Judging from the look of them both, I guess this is poison.
'I don't have pills and even if I do, I don't know what pills I should use with this.
'Am I going to watch her die like that?'
Young master shook his head.
'Since you trust this young master, then this young master will prove that I am worthy of your loyalty!'
Young master's aura flares a little and puts his hand in the air, he conjures his phone Alternate Universe Chat Group.
In the group chat.
Maharlikan President: Here's my move!
[Maharlikan President uploaded a photo] [Game Chess board]
Wrathful General: What a move!
[Wrathful General uploaded a photo] [Game Chess board]
Maharlikan President: This is a little hard.
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Hey! (Mention) Vengeful Fatty, Doctor quack. I'm reaching the elite four.
Vengeful fatty: Oh... Why not catch Groudon, first?
[Young master went online]
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Young master is back! But Welp, I need to play more now, I must go.
Vengeful fatty: Are you creating my suggestions?
Young master: Of course *Lying* Vengeful fatty, do you know a recipe for any kind of poison?
Vengeful fatty: Why?
Young master: We are trying to recreate one of the things you suggested to me. All my servants got poisoned by multiple poisons and were in pain.
Vengeful fatty: I'm going to search for it on the internet.
Young master: Okay... I'll wait.
[Vengeful fatty went offline]
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Why not use full heal or full restore? Hehe.
Young master: Extraterrestrial Traveler? What full heal and full restore?
Extraterrestrial Traveler: I am that new member mutant. I changed my nickname. Full heal and Full restore are items in the pocket monster game they introduced to me that heal any kind of status like poison, burn, freeze, etc.
Young master: Really? What's the difference?
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Well Full heal when used from the Bag on a Pocket monster, it cures a Pocket monster of all non-volatile status conditions (poison paralysis, sleep, burn, freeze) and even confusion.
Young master: Full restore?
[Maharlikan President uploaded a photo] [Game Chess board]
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Full restore is an upgraded version of the Max Potion. It is an item that fully restores the Health Points and heals any Status ailments of monsters. However, it does not affect fainted pocket monsters.
Young master: So, a full restore is better?
[Wrathful General uploaded a photo] [Game Chess board]
Maharlikan President: That move made me dizzy.
Extraterrestrial Traveler: Yep, this is the best healing item, as it restores Health and status problems.
Young master: Do you have a photo of that?
Extraterrestrial Traveler: They only sent me the game. I downloaded it on my phone to my surprise; it worked. It says Full Heal and Full Restore only, didn't have photos.
Young master: Do you have a photo?
Extraterrestrial Traveler: No.
Young master: Send it to this young master. I want to see it.
Extraterrestrial Traveler: I said, No! Why not just download the game? I'll send it.
Young master: I don't need it.
[Vengeful fatty went online]
Vengeful fatty: I can't find anything about a cure that can fix any poisons.
Young master: Do you have a photo of Full restore and Full Heal?
Vengeful fatty: Why?
Extraterrestrial Traveler: I want to know too.
Young master: This young master is just curious.
Vengeful fatty: It won't work. Those are only in fiction.
Young master: Still...
Vengeful fatty: Alright, nothing's going to happen, anyway.
[Vengeful fatty uploaded a photo] [Full Heal -Yellow bottle with a big sprayer on top]
Young master: Only one?
Vengeful fatty: There are more.
[Vengeful fatty uploaded a photo] [Full Heal -Yellow bottle with a small sprayer on top]
[Vengeful fatty uploaded a photo] [Full Heal -Red bottle with medium sprayer on top]
Young master: What about Full Restore?
Vengeful fatty: There's no use.
[Vengeful fatty uploaded a photo] [Full Restore -Yellow bottle with huge white sprayer on top]

Extraterrestrial Traveler: Alright, I had enough of this. I'm going to continue playing.
[Young master went offline]
Outside the chat.
"Let's see if this thing will work."
The young master was holding a bottle with a spray on it.
"GUUHHHH!!"
Screamed of Teng Feng's last breath. Young master Lin suddenly went alert. He hurriedly sped fast to Li Ren's location and sprayed the Flask of 'Full Heal' potion.
"GUUUHHHH!!"
Li Ren screamed too. She was nearing her end like young master Teng Feng of the Teng Family. She is being consumed by poison with her skin turning violet-colored.
She is going to die too.
Surprised filled young master's expression.
'It didn't work?
'What happened? Wait, the pocket monster game is a game of monsters, right?
'Then this thing would only work on monsters. I see, that's the only chance.'
Young master rushed to the back of Li Ren as he ripped her clothes off!
'The mark!'
He instant coated his arm with the natural energy of pure aura type and put his hand to the mark.
"HAAAAA!!!!!!"
Instantly, Li Ren became covered with symbiosis beast's slimy body armor.
"Tsk! Damn it!"
Young master noticed his hand was afflicted by poison too. However, he didn't stop. As Li Ren is already in her symbiosis form, young master Lin took the other Full Heal on his spiritual sea of consciousness and sprayed it on Li Ren.
"AAAGGHH!!
"I never thought this would be painful."
Young master ignored the pain even if it's making him dizzy. He observed Li Ren and finally had a sigh of relief.
"Fell asleep, but she's not writhing in pain anymore. She is still breathing, which means she made it alive.
"This young master is glad."
KAUSHIK! KWISHIK! KWISHIK!
Young master noticed that the slime in Li Ren was trying to get away. Shortly after, it turned into a bat-and-beetle-like creature.
"Symbiosis bug beast's defection?"
When a beast feels mistreated or doesn't want to be with their masters, they would try to leave the body of their masters.
"Her aura is weakened, that's why her bug beast got away. Now, it will try to devour her body."
It's hard to maintain a symbiotic relationship with a bug beast. A cultivator tamer would need to please them, groom them, or satisfy their quirks. If a bug beast defects, a cultivator needs to look out because once they lose their remaining aura, the bug beasts will leave.
"I won't let it."
With a swing of his arms, young master Lin slaps the bug beast, turning it into a bloody mist.
*Cough*
'The poison is also spreading in me. I need to heal myself, but will this work on me?
'Maybe I need to use an aura like Li Ren to make sure that it would work on me.'
Taking out the last Full Heal, the young master sprayed it on himself. When he is done and the Full Heal is taking effect, he is glad.
'Finally, it worked.
'I felt like something was missing.'
All of the sudden.
"Who are you!?"
