Binding System-Chapter 282 But I’m Not Sad

'Can this colorful water heal my master's disease?'

As Evelyn saw the colorful water in her hands, she remembered her master.

'Should I bring master to this cave and let her soak in this pool?'

The colorful water could heal wounds and remove burn scars, so she suddenly wanted her master to soak in the pool.

Ace, who saw Evelyn, approached her slowly. "Are you thinking about your master?"

Evelyn turned her head to look at him. "Yes."

"Then why don't you bring your master to my city and let her soak in this pool?" Ace inquired. "This colorful water is not ordinary one. Maybe, this water can heal your master's disease."

"I have the same thought, but will she allow outsiders use this pool?" Evelyn looked at Scarlett.

"Leave it to me." After saying that, Ace walked toward Scarlett.

When Scarlett caught sight of him, she inquired, "What's wrong, Ace?"

"Scarlett, I have something important to say, but let's sit on that stone first." He dragged her to a big stone.

After they sat on the flat stone, she inquired, "What is it?"

"It's like this…" Ace began telling her about the condition of Evelyn's master. "Can you let her master soak in this pool? Maybe, this colorful water can heal her unknown disease."

"Sure." Scarlett agreed instantly. "Just bring her here. I will let her soak in this pool later."

"Thank you, Scarlett. You are indeed the best." At first, he wanted to give her a peck on the lips, but he changed his mind because many people were around them.

Scarlett's face blossomed into a smile when she saw his happy face.

'He looks so happy.'

Scarlett, Ace and Evelyn were currently at the entrance gate.

Evelyn decided to return to Misty Palace immediately because she wanted her master to soak in the magical pool as quickly as possible.

Her master's condition was getting worse every day, so every hour was very important to her.

"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?" Ace inquired.

"It's fine. I can return alone." Evelyn refused his offer because he needed to help the citizens rebuild their city.

Ace did not say anything anymore because she had refused his offer twice.

"Alright. I will return now." Evelyn uttered.

"Be careful." Scarlett said.

"Un." After nodding her head, Evelyn left.

Ace wore a sad face when Evelyn left.

Even though she would return in a few days, it still made him sad.

When Scarlett noticed his sad expression, she grabbed his right hand and uttered, "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Ace was startled when she suddenly dragged him.

"Let's go to my tent. I will cheer you up there." She did not want him to be sad, so she wanted to cheer him up.

"You want to cheer me up? But I'm not sad." He uttered.

"You don't need to lie to me." She responded, "Let's walk faster."

Ace did not say anything and only looked at her.

'But I'm really not sad.'

Underground Cave, Pool.

"Can we drink this water?" the blue-haired man asked curiously.

"Now that you are talking about it, I'm also curious whether we can drink this water or not." The red-haired man responded.

Captain Lia squatted down and took the water with her hands.

'This water can heal wounds, so it shouldn't be dangerous.'

With that idea in mind, she drank the colorful water. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

"Captain Lia, how is it?" the blue-haired man inquired.

"It tastes like normal water." Captain Lia gave an honest answer. "And I did not feel any change after drinking this colorful water."

"Then let me taste it too."

"I'm curious too."

"Me too."

Several city guards drank the water because they were curious about it.

"Yes. I did not feel anything after drinking it." They did not feel anything different after drinking it.

"So, this water is not for drinking." Captain Lia uttered.

"I suddenly want to soak in this pool."

"Me too."

"Captain Lia, can we soak in this pool?"

They did not jump into the pool immediately because they needed to get Captain Lia's approval first.

"Alright. Five of you can soak in this pool. But clean your body first." Captain Lia granted their wish.

"Thank you, captain Lia." They immediately headed to the small pool close to the rainbow pool.

After cleaning their bodies, they entered the pool. They did not soak in the middle of the pool; instead, they soaked by the pool.

"How is it?" Captain Lia inquired.

"I feel calm and refreshed." The blue-haired man stated.

"My fatigue is also slowly disappearing." The red-haired man added.

"This pool is indeed a magical pool." The purple-haired man praised the rainbow pool.

Unlike the blue-haired man and the others, the black-haired man suddenly decided to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

He did not know why he decided to do that.

Maybe because he felt calm and refreshed or perhaps because he always wanted to be a powerful awakener, but at that time, he decided to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

'This is…'

He was shocked when he felt the speed of his absorption was faster than usual.

He immediately opened his eyes and shouted, "Captain Lia!"

"What's wrong?" Captain Lia inquired.

"I feel like the speed of my absorption is faster than usual when I'm soaking in this pool." The black-haired man began explaining what had happened to him in detail.

"You four try absorbing the energy of heaven and earth now." Captain Lia ordered her subordinates to test it.

"Alright." The blue-haired man and the others answered in unison.

They sat in a lotus position before finally closing their eyes and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

'This is…'

Like the black-haired man, they were also shocked.

When they opened their eyes, Captain Lia inquired, "How is it?"

"It's true, captain Lia." The blue-haired man responded, "I feel like my absorption speed has increased by one level."

"I feel that too." the red-haired man added.

"You all get out of the pool now. I will discuss this with city mistress. We will use this pool to increase our power later." Captain Lia uttered.

"Understood." They responded in unison.
