Strange Cards

Chapter 403 Prevention is worse than Prevention

Seeing that Liu Yu was burning up, Shi Yu quickly carried her to the bed.

Shi Yu opened the smoke in the room, sent the medicine over, then took a towel from the bathroom, filled a basin with warm water, and began to wipe Liu Yu's face.

At first, Shi Yu thought the girl had caught a cold, but the abnormal symptoms that appeared later were definitely not symptoms of a cold.

Liu Yu's body temperature was rising higher and higher, so Shi Yu had no choice but to temporarily stop the time in Liu Yu's body.

Shi Yu knew that using medicine to lower the fever was no longer effective, and that she could only temporarily save Liu Yu's body through physical cooling methods.

"I hope it won't go too far."

Shi Yu carried Liu Yu into the bathtub, filled it halfway with water, and then put her hand in.

Shigure used her own power to lower the temperature of the water in the bathtub, which quickly reached around zero degrees Celsius.

Shigure's hands were fine in the bathtub, but once she was out of the tub and the force was released, the water temperature quickly rose, almost boiling.

Helpless, Shigure could only stop time again. Looking at that pained little face, just as she was about to reverse time again, A emerged from behind Shigure and said...

"It's no use. Even if you turn back time, problems will still arise soon enough."

"Do you remember last time?"

"This girl is forcibly using the Asura power within her to block you."

Shi Yu looked at A leaning against the edge of the bathtub and instantly recalled the scene where Liu Yu used the Asura power within her body to block Qi Wu.

A looked into Shi Yu's eyes, smiled, and then released the Time Stop spell from Liu Yu's body.

"Very good, you remembered."

"This isn't a fever; it's because the Asura power within her was severely blocked and has erupted."

"Is the traffic jam too bad?"

"What exactly happened?"

A tore off Liu Yu's right leg pajama pants, revealing the Shengshilian tattoo on Liu Yu's leg.

"Your Nine Ghosts Asura tattoo is used to suppress the Asura's rampage. The Lotus of Prosperity and the Nine Ghosts Asura tattoo are fundamentally different."

"The Flourishing Lotus is an awakening that suppresses the power of Asura. To put it simply, the two of you are like two completely different bottles."

"Your goal is to let the Asura power flow within your body, sealing it away to prevent it from controlling your mind and causing it to run rampant."

"And this little girl's Flourishing Lotus is like forcibly suppressing the power of Asura, just like a bottle being blocked by a stopper."

"One of your bottles is connected end to end by a water pipe, allowing the power to circulate within your body and preventing it from leaking out and going berserk."

"And this little girl is like blocking the bottle, preventing the stuff from flowing."

"But the power of Asura will gradually increase with age. After all, this little girl has all the power of the Ghost Asura sealed within her body."

"This thing blocking the way will cause the little girl, who is the container, to be stretched bigger and bigger until one day it reaches a critical point."

"This little girl's body will be stretched to the point of explosion by the power of Asura, an explosion in a physical sense."

"Then that power will return to your body, since it originally belonged to you."

"Even if you reverse time, you're only putting those powers back to their pre-explosion state; they'll always return to the point where they explode."

"It's fortunate you were here this time, otherwise this little girl would definitely not have survived."

A released the time stop on Liu Yu's body and then placed his finger on the tattoo on Liu Yu's thigh.

Shi Yu watched A's actions and knew that A would not harm Liu Yu.

Putting aside the fact that A knows how important Liu Yu is to Shi Yu, as Shi Yu's old friend, A would never do something that would absolutely drive Shi Yu crazy.

Moreover, Shi Yu was present, making it even more impossible under these circumstances.

"A, so what is this...?"

"It's better to guide than to block. I'm clearing the meridians in her body, making the Shengshilian tattoo have the same effect as the Nine Ghosts Asura tattoo on your body."

"Although it means the karmic fire of Asura won't ignite, this little girl won't suffer the pain of being burned by karmic fire like you did before."

"But there are still some side effects. All I can do is minimize them so that they don't affect her at all."

As A spoke, he touched Liu Yu's brow with his finger. Then, the Asura power within him was activated, flying out from his fingertip and into his body.

As A is one with Shigure, A naturally has the qualification to invoke the power of Shura.

A used Shigure's Asura power to guide the Asura power within Liu Yu's body through a cycle, and then slightly lifted the seal, allowing the Asura power within Liu Yu's body to circulate more smoothly.

"Okay, it's done."

"Now help this little girl change her clothes, then carry her to bed."

"Give her some cold medicine, after all, she's been soaking in this ice water for quite a while."

Shi Yu nodded, helped Liu Yu change into clean clothes, and then placed Liu Yu on the bed in the master bedroom. After covering her with a blanket, she went to Yan Yun to get the medicine she needed.

A was in the bathroom, quietly thinking, lost in thought.

Shiyu brewed a cup of cold medicine and placed the cup on the bedside table to let it cool quietly.

After seeing that Shigure had finished her work, A opened the bathroom door and gestured for Shigure to come with her to the balcony.

Shi Yu looked at Liu Yu, who was still a little dazed, and after confirming that Liu Yu was out of danger, she soaked a towel in warm water, wrung it out, and applied the warm towel to Liu Yu's forehead.

After finishing everything, Shiyu finally came to the balcony.

A then took out three incense sticks from under the altar, helped Shi Yu light the incense for Uncle Xiao, and then sat down on the chair on the balcony.

"It's easier to talk business here."

As A spoke, he reconstructed a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff.

"I must tell you that I have resolved the little girl's problem, but there are still side effects."

"Although the Asura Flame will not ignite within her body, her body temperature may be slightly elevated in the future."

"After everything settles down, seal all your power into the Fiend Blade, transfer the tattoo on your arm to the Fiend Blade, and make this little girl a true Asura."

"With those two tattoos, this little girl probably won't even feel the agony of being burned alive by Asura. At most, she'll just feel a bit hot during battle."

"With me here, you won't have any problems, and I can also help you better control the Asura power within that little girl."

"At least let her live her life like a normal person."

"However, every cloud has a silver lining. The Asura Seed that is almost fully grown inside this little girl will also bring her great benefits."

"At least when you're not around, this little girl won't be bullied."

"The power of Asura is the divine power that represents slaughter."

"With such divine power, it is enough to protect her for the rest of her life."
