Chapter 341: Dream Infiltration
“Please move aside for a moment.”
After calming Blood Fang Lucas’s emotions, Jia Na stepped forward and gently held Ilianna’s wrist.
“How long has she been pregnant?”
“It’s been nine months, Lady Jia Na.”
Because of the mental soothing witchcraft, Blood Fang’s expression was sorrowful, but his emotions were clearly much more stable than before.
“It’s already been nine months?”
As she spoke, Jia Na gently lifted the quilt covering Ilianna and looked at her belly, which was much smaller than that of a normal nine-month pregnant woman.
“Mr. Blood Fang, please stand guard outside the door. Do not come in while I am treating her.”
“But—I understand.”
After giving Ilianna a deep look, Blood Fang exited the room and closed the door.
“It’s clear that your relationship is very good.”
Seeing that Blood Fang had left, Jia Na began to use Shaping Art to condense fine threads of magic while gently soothing Ilianna, who was lying on the bed, with her words.
“Yes, Lucas is very good to me, and we are both looking forward to the child who is about to be born, cough cough—so, Master Wizard, if something truly happens to me, please prioritize saving my child, don’t mind me—”
Affected by the Heavenly Voice talent, Ilianna’s slightly anxious mood, which had arisen after Blood Fang left the room, gradually eased.
Before long, Ilianna already regarded Jia Na as a trustworthy person and continuously poured out her innermost thoughts to Jia Na.
“Don’t worry, neither you nor your child will have any problems.”
While listening to Ilianna, Jia Na had already guided dozens of magical threads along the blood vessels in Ilianna’s wrist, deep into her organs.
As the magical threads probed deeper and deeper, Jia Na’s expression remained very calm, but she felt a sense of doubt in her heart.
From the preliminary diagnosis, Ilianna’s illness was very severe. In addition to her failing organs, her muscles had atrophied, and even her bones showed symptoms of osteoporosis.
“How strange. Although the mother’s Life force is on the verge of exhaustion, the Life force of the child in her womb is exceptionally vigorous, as if… the child is absorbing the mother’s Life force.”
With many doubts in her heart, Jia Na continued to probe the condition of the baby in Ilianna’s womb with magical threads, while also asking the other party with a gentle smile:
“How long have you been infected with the plague? Have you seen anyone else during this time?”
“Cough, cough… It should be three days ago. That’s when I started having a low fever, and I saw an alchemist during that time. After that alchemist diagnosed me with the plague, Lucas found you immediately—”
“Only three days have passed since the onset of the illness?”
After listening to Ilianna’s description, Jia Na gained a further understanding of this plague.
Although Jia Na had seen some cases before, most of them entered the severe stage in five to seven days. This was the first time Jia Na had encountered a patient like Ilianna, who entered the severe stage in such a short time and also had multiple complications.
“I’m going to start the treatment now. During this time, I may need to put you into a Drowsiness for a while.”
“Okay, thank you for your trouble—”
“Drowsiness—”
As Ilianna cooperatively closed her eyes, Jia Na skillfully cast Drowsiness beside her.
“By my will, I command you, summon—Qimeng Butterfly.”
After confirming that Ilianna had entered deep sleep, with a flash of colorful light, Qimeng Butterfly was summoned by Jia Na from the Dream Realm.
“Master, you called me.”
“Artemis, infiltrate her dream now. I need you to confirm something for me.”
“Understood.”
Flap—with a light flutter of its wings, after receiving Jia Na’s command, Qimeng Butterfly instantly vanished from its spot and entered Ilianna’s dream. But soon, it retreated from the dream.
“Master, I cannot enter her dream.”
Hearing Qimeng Butterfly’s telepathic message, Jia Na couldn’t help but frown.
“What is the reason?”
“I’m not entirely sure… When I tried to enter her dream, I was pushed out by a very strong emotional force.”
“Emotional force?”
“Yes, it’s the power of emotion, and it’s a very strong hatred.”
Hatred? Ilianna’s hatred? Could she be a transcendent in the dream domain?
Looking at Ilianna on the sickbed, Jia Na couldn’t help but once again control the magical threads to spread throughout every corner of the other party’s body, but no matter how hard Jia Na tried, she couldn’t sense a single trace of magic from the other party.
“Could it be this child—”
Thinking of this, Jia Na immediately transmitted a telepathic message to Qimeng Butterfly:
“Artemis, try again to enter the dream of the child in her womb.”
“As you command.”
Ilianna was now nine months pregnant. Normally, by the eighth month, an infant’s brain would have matured enough to dream.
“Wait a moment!”
Just as Qimeng Butterfly was about to enter the dream, Jia Na, as if receiving some kind of premonition, directly interrupted Qimeng Butterfly’s attempt to enter the dream.
“Master?”
“It’s nothing… Artemis, before you enter the dream, please perform one more divination for me.”
With that, Jia Na released Ilianna’s wrist, then took out her usual silver suler from her thorn bracelet,
gently tossed it into the air, and caught it in her palm.
“What is the divination result?”
“The result is—yes.”
Hearing Qimeng Butterfly’s words, Jia Na’s expression instantly became solemn.
Because the question Jia Na had just asked Qimeng Butterfly to divine was: Will entering the dream of the baby in Ilianna’s womb be Life-threatening?
“One last divination.”
With that, Jia Na tossed the coin once more.
“What is the result this time?”
“No.”
Hearing Qimeng Butterfly’s answer, Jia Na’s solemn expression held a hint of confusion.
Because the matter she had just divined was: Will curing Ilianna put me in danger?
“Alright, Artemis, you can go back now.”
“But, Master—”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
As a Dream Realm creature capable of peeking into fate, after it completed three divinations for Jia Na, it vaguely smelled danger from fate.
Even if the danger might not happen today, if Jia Na did not escape in time, her fate would intertwine with this danger until the crisis completely erupted. “Flap—”
At Jia Na’s insistence, the worried Qimeng Butterfly, accompanied by a stream of colorful light, returned the way it came to the Dream Realm.
Jia Na, seeing Qimeng Butterfly leave, took a deep breath, then re-gripped Ilianna’s wrist.
