Rina and Seth entered the Evergreen Tavern, and they sat on one of the tables that were in the first floor.

"Then... From where do I begin?"

"Tell me about your meeting with mom."

"Hm? My first meeting with Arwen? Very well." Seth made a motion with his hand and a bottle of wine flew towards him. He poured a cup for himself and after that, he put a cup for Rina.

This was exactly what he had done when he first met Arwen.

"Here, let's drink a bit."

"Hm... I've never had a drink before."

"Really? You should try drinking a bit. I bet you will like it."

Rina trusted Seth and started to take small sips of the wine inside her cup. She suddenly felt a sweet but bitter taste in her mouth, however, the temperature of her body started to raise after it reached her throat and entered her stomach.

"This is different, I've never had anything like this before."

"Indeed, but make sure you don't exaggerate or you may start to feel dizzy."

"Uhum."

"Alright. Let me start then. I've met Arwen right here, where we are. The first thing I did after meeting her, was to hit on her. Sigh... I was na?ve thinking that I would be able to strike a point with her by doing that. Now that I think about it, if not because I was immune to her poisonous aura, she would have never considered to have a relationship with me. Actually, I would have been dead."

Rina heard everything he was saying with a very attentive semblance. She didn't seem to bother when Seth was talk about another woman in front of her, provided that that woman was her mother.

"Immune to her poisonous aura?"

"Yeah. Look at this." Seth suddenly stretched his hand and created a poisonous light of Evergreen Essence on top of it.

"That's the Evergreen Poison!"

"Yeah. Just like you and her, I was able to inherit that power too."

"Really? That's unexpected. Is that why mother decided to be with you?"

"Not the main reason, but you could say it was something that helped her deciding on that."

"I see... Then, how was she able to get rid of that damned poisonous aura? You may not know about it, but she suffered a lot because of that. I felt that she was at the same time, thankful to that power and hated it to the bones. If not for it, she wouldn't have achieved what she achieved, but at the same time, that power destroyed many things she loved."

"Sigh... I know about it. That's why It was the first thing I did for her after acquiring the Evergreen Essence Source."

"So, it was you?" Rina looked at Seth with a thankful stare. Seth had saved her mother's life while doing that and Rina knew how important it was for her.

"Don't look at me like that. You and her are my family, and I would do anything to see both of you happy."

Rina suddenly felt a warm feeling inside her heart, however, after taking so many sips of alcohol, she didn't even know it if it was purely her feelings of if there was alcohol mixed in.

Seth and Rina kept talking about many things and when Seth finally noticed it, it was already late at night.

Suddenly he heard...

"Hiccup!"

Seth looked at Rina and saw that she was already drunk. Since she had already taken her cape off, her face was exposed and he was able to see her drunk red face. She seemed a bit sleepy and her eyes were threatening to close. However, she was even more graceful with her reddened face.

Seth mildly smiled and said: "Come Rina, I'll take you to your room."

"Nah... Hiccup... I wanna drink more, hehehe..."

"Come on, let's go."

"Ah!"

Seth managed to carry her over to her room, dropping her in her bed. When he saw she was comfortable he turned around and was about to leave, but he felt Rina grabbing his arm.

"I love... Please stay with..." She fell asleep after saying some words she probably didn't have the courage to say them when sober yet.

"Silly girl." Seth covered her with a blanket and left.

He entered his own room and was preparing to rest a bit when he heard Lexi's voice.

"I thought you would try to eat her too."

"Oh? You're finally awake. Hah! Bet you're eating much more than me. It took you more than a week this time. Have you got anything new?"

"No new abilities, but..."

"But?"

"My purification has gotten stronger."

"Weren't you already able to purify anything?"

"I can purify anything, but that doesn't mean that the purification would be always perfect. Actually, I'm far from reaching perfection on that point. Do you know what is the ability to purify? It's to turn something back to its origin."

"Back to the origin?"

"Yeah. Let me explain it better. What do you do to turn Qi into Mana? You compress it to the maximum using your power until it changes its principle, turning into a higher energy. However, you fail to notice that the energy loses impurities on the process. That is a kind of purification. However, now that I advanced in that area, I can do it with your soul."

"You can purify my soul?"

"Actually, this is just the first purification that I will be able to do. Many more will follow after I get stronger."

"I see... So, what are the benefits of having my soul purified?"

"I don't know. I can't tell precisely what is going to happen. You could get a stronger soul, but at the same time, nothing could happen. But don't worry with it for now. Since I just woke up, I still need to sort things out and organize my thoughts correctly. After I revise the process sometimes, I will then tell you."

"Good. I'll be ready for that." Seth got excited. Every single thing he learnt or did that was related to the soul, was something that had changed his life.. The Hades Inheritance with the Soul Link and the Soul Cultivation with the Soul Sense were some of the examples.
