Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

187 Crystal

Selma Payne’s POV:

There was no mistake! Perhaps she was worried that the adverse effects of the white ash would harm me. Although she knew I could break down the power I absorbed, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

I immediately promised Dorothy, “I will never break my promise to you, Dorothy. I swear that this will not affect me in the slightest. When you wake up, I promise you that you will see the ice sculptures of all the negative elements that I have absorbed. If the werewolf grandmasters can find a way to purify it, maybe we can use it as a memento to decorate the room!”

The water started to move, and I knew that Dorothy was struggling.

In the end, she chose to trust me.

In an instant, I felt as if I had become one with the sea. This strange experience made me feel like I was an omnipresent spray, able to note every movement in the ocean from all directions without any blind spots.

Every drop of seawater was my incarnation.

I immediately controlled the seawater to start purifying the white ash. In an instant, large amounts of snow-white ‘sugar cream’ melted in the turbulent water. As if sensing my actions, the chasms at the bottom of the ocean started spewing out even more white ash in an attempt to stop me from devouring it.

But this was giving me more nutrients for no reason.

And due to this, I was able to find the source of the white ash accurately.

Like a swimming fish, I quickly dove into the crack at the bottom of the sea. As expected, I found a crystal-like fragment inside.

Although it looked different, it gave me the same feeling as a giant pine tree.

It was indeed a demonic fragment!

This evil creature was like a fragrant ice cream cake to me. I felt my appetite increase, and I couldn’t help but swallow the fragment.

In the next second, the white ash that was spurting out immediately stopped. Without the core’s support, they could not resist the aggressive seawater. I quickly devoured them all, just like I devoured the remaining sugar powder on the side of a bowl.

After solving the problem, I quickly floated to the sea’s surface to look for shells.

The white and round shell floated alone on the boundless sea. It was lonely but not desolate.

It shook slightly, and then a corner was lifted.

Dorothy was curled up on the soft shell flesh. She whispered to me, “Thank you, Selma.”

“You’re welcome.” I was more concerned about her current condition. “How do you feel? Are you hurt?”

“Thanks to you, white ash didn’t manage to cause me any harm. If you had come a little later, I don’t think I would have been able to suppress them.”

“Can you confirm who cast a spell on you?”

“I don’t know, but whoever it is must be very strong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to stuff a demon shard into my soul without a sound.”

“Alright. I have to leave first. It will take some time to digest the demonic shards. I can’t remove the impurities from your spiritual world.”

“Are you sure you’ll be fine?”

“Don’t worry. I said I won’t go back on my word.”

I ended my meditation and left Dorothy’s spiritual world.

After devouring, I felt a little tired, but I didn’t immediately fall asleep like the last time. I believed it was because I had just made a new body previous time. In addition to digesting the power, I had to adjust my body’s condition, so I had to fall asleep.

The shard was much smaller this time than the last, so I didn’t have to use up so much energy. My body was also stable, so I could stay awake.

Seeing me open my eyes, Master Kevin asked with concern, “Is it over? Did you succeed?”

I nodded and asked him to help take care of Dorothy’s body.

After a simple examination, Master Kevin said, “She needs to recuperate from her fatigue. She’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”

I was finally entirely at ease. A wave of sleepiness washed over me, so I lay down on my sleeping bag and took a nap.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day. I was lying in a warm sleeping bag, and the alluring aroma of food wafted in from outside.

Dorothy brought a bowl of steaming hot porridge into the room. Seeing that I had woken up, she asked happily, “You’re awake? How do you feel? Do you still feel dizzy? Master Kevin said you’ve overused your energy, so I’ve made you some beef congee. Have some to recover your strength.”

“Thank you.” My stomach was rumbling. I immediately took the bowl and started eating. “What about you? Have you recovered?”

Dorothy sat down beside me and nodded. “It’s not a big deal anymore. Thanks to the Eye of Insight, my spiritual world is much stronger than ordinary people, and my recovery ability is also much faster.

She quietly watched me finish a bowl of porridge before she reached out her hand and asked, “Where’s the thing?”

“What?”

“The crystal! Didn’t you say I’ll see the crystals formed by the harmful impurities when I wake up?”

Only then did I remember that. I whispered, “That will take time. I have to extract it bit by bit.

Dorothy crossed her arms and said with an unfriendly expression, “So you were lying to me? Swear that this will not affect you!”

“Of course not, really!” I hurriedly explained myself, “I need time. There’s not much ‘food’ this time. I’ll probably be able to separate the impurities by nightfall completely.”

“Alright,” Dorothy sighed helplessly. “I’ll believe you one more time.”
