Female Novel
Chapter 1139 Baldy
Although Alex had survived the fifth lightning strike, it had also caused considerable damage to hisbody.
He had suffered burns to his skin, which made him look like a monstrous creature. It was an utterlyterrifying sight to behold..
“Master, master! Let me help you fix it!” Jade said somewhat worriedly.
This time, he did not refuse and even nodded. The pain is bearable, but my current appearance isindeed frightening. If anyone were to pass by this place and see me like this, they’d probably be scaredout of their wits, right? Since Jade can restore my appearance, that’s perfect!
Seeing that he nodded, Jade released its full power, and a golden light instantly enveloped his entirebody. Following that, the layer of necrosed flesh on his body slowly peeled away, and the golden lighthealed the mess of flesh and blood. Soon, a layer of pale, delicate skin grew back.
Eventually, the charred, necrosed flesh on his body was all gone. Although the golden light hadcompletely healed his skin, he was now bald.
Jade could not help but cover its mouth and let out a chuckle when it saw Alex’s shiny, hairless head.“Master, this is too funny! You’ve become totally bald. Hahaha! You’re like an egghead! The lightningstrike burned your hair, and I don’t know if it’ll ever grow back. Does this mean you’ll be a baldy fromnow on?”
It was so amused that it did not even notice his face had turned as black as thunder.
He raised his hand and tapped Jade’s head smartly. It let out a cry of pain and looked at himindignantly. “Master, I just saved you! How could you repay kindness with ingratitude and hit me?” it
said pitifully. Crossing his arms, he demanded sternly, “Who did you just call an egghead? Say thatagain!”
Having had his hair all burned off by lightning was already depressing enough for Alex, but he had notexpected that Jade would make fun of him. Thus, his anger was hardly surprising.
“You’re not an egghead, Master. You’re the most handsome bald man in the world. Even if you’re bald,that’s not a bad thing. At least you’ll save money on shampoo.” As it spoke, it could not stop itself frombursting into laughter.
He grabbed its ear and growled irritably, “If you dare to call me a baldy again, I’ll give you a goodbeating!”
Suddenly, he noticed something strange. Jade looks a little bigger than before. Previously, it looked likea one or two-year-old child. But now, it appears to be four or five years old.
“Master, it hurts!” it pleaded while clutching his hand.
Realizing he was still holding its ear, he quickly let go and asked, “Jade, have you grown bigger?What’s going on?”
Jade pouted and puffed out its cheeks, then turned its head away angrily without answering hisquestion.
“All right, all right. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have pulled your ear. I’m sorry, okay? Now, please tell mewhy you’ve suddenly grown bigger?” he said.novelbin
Upon hearing his apology, it finally turned its head back. Nonetheless, it was still upset with him. Itreplied moodily, “Not only did the fifth lightning strike just now strengthen your Lightning Attribute, but it
also brought me some great benefits. I naturally grew bigger after absorbing the Lightning Element’senergy. I’ve told you before, haven’t I? I’m a growth-type ancient jade.”
Alex nodded even though he did not quite understand. Indeed, the two elders’ blows earlier containedthe power of thunder and lightning. It never occurred to me that withstanding the fifth lightning strikewould bring such benefits.
Suddenly, he thought of a question. He placed his hand under his chin as he gazed at Jade, lost indeep thought. After pondering for a while, he still could not figure it out and asked, “Are you male orfemale? Why can’t I tell even though you’re already four or five years old?”
