"Can you show me the fruit, Yue?" Wang Lei asked. He saw a blue fruit appearing on his hands. It was of weird shape but he knew once he ate this fruit he will have the power to control ice as he likes.
"If I ate it will I have the weakness of water Yue?" He asked. Wang Lei didn't want to have any kind of weakness. Especially that is so easy to spot.
"You will not master. The weakness of DF has been erased so you can swim even though you will become DF user" Yue said. When Wang Lei heard her he was really happy. He looked at the fruit for a while, making his decision he ate it. '...Ugh, I have never tasted shit but I can tell it must taste like this' Wang Lei was trying his best not to vomit. After some time, he saw that his hands were realizing cold. He tried to use it and a small block of ice was created on his hands. 'Now I need to train my stamina'
SFX: Sound of the door opening
"You are awake Little Lei" Wang Lei looked back and saw Dongxue coming out of the bathroom. Looking at her he could tell that no one would be able to tell that she was old. She looked like twenty years old woman.
Dongxue went and sit beside him. She was looking at him who looked different than before but she could not tell what was the difference. She looked at him and could not help but want to cuddle him. She picked him and placed him on her lap while gently caressing his hair.
"Mother when father is coming?" Wang Lei asked.
"Why? Do you miss your father?" Dongxue was surprised since Wang Lei never asked about Hongyi before.
"Hm, I want to study medicine. I wanted to ask Father to buy medicine related books" Wand Lie said. he has been thinking for a while for her cure. He thought since he can't use his <Ark of Embodiment> so. instead of looking blindly, it would be better for him to start with medicine from this world.
"Why does Little Lei want to learn medicine?" Dongxue asked. She was again surprised by his answer because he never had any interest in medicine before but now he suddenly asked to learn about medicine.
"I want to learn medicine so I can save mother," Wang Lei said straight forward. Technically he was not telling a lie. Since he was learning medicine to save her. But Dongxue thought he was talking about her health that was keep on deteriorating. She thought maybe he was afraid that something will happen to her. Tears started to gather around her eyes. She tightly hugged him.
"It's okay. Mother will never leave Little Lei. Mother will always be by Little Lei's side" Dongxue said while thinking that she was blessed to have Wang Lei as her child.
Wang Lei who thought that something was not right. He knew that Dongxue has misunderstood him. But he didn't care as long as he gets the medicine book.

It has been a year since he said that he wanted to learn about medicine. He also checked whether he could use <Apogee> on Ice-Ice Fruit since it was a concept that let you reach apex control over your body. He thought maybe he could use it on his abilities too and he was surprised to see that he could use it. Using <Apogee> he could directly use <Awakening of DF> which gave him the power to create domain around him that could freeze anything inside to Absolute Zero temperature except space and time. He thought he could freeze space too but because he didn't have enough stamina he could not. Just maintaining <Apogee> on DF power, he could not stand after 3 seconds of using it.
He still remembers that when the servant found him laying on the floor he thought that he was dead. At that time, he wanted to smack that servant. At least check before saying that someone has died. Because of the servant he had to remain under check for more than a month which was boring as hell.
After learning about medicine for a year he finally found a way to cure her. He found a strange flower in the book. According to the book, it was a flower that will rejuvenate the one eating it for some time. Even tho' he could not find a way to cure her but for now, it was enough. Since once he got to use his <Ark of Embodiment> he could seal her powers and just let her memories come back that way she doesn't have to leave for God Realm. But the problem was that this flower was rare and it was always protected by a True profound strength beast.
And he could not find anyone who will work for him. I mean, if a 3 years old child asked you to help him get something in which you might lose your life than its obvious no will help you.
'It has already been 8 months since Mother is pregnant' Wang Lei thought. In the original story, they never told the exact time of pregnancy so he thought he had the time or maybe that's what he wanted to thought. But life never goes as the way one wants.
"Young master, master Hongyi has come back" A maid comes and said to him. When Wang Lei heard her, he readied himself to meet his father. He was going to ask him for the place where he can find that flower and go fetch it. While he can't fight the True Profound Level beast but with <Apogee> as long as he is given a moment he can kill it instantly.

"Father your back!!" Wang Lei said happily.
"Lei'er, I missed you. How is your mother?" Hongyi asked smilingly as he pats Wang Lei's head.
"She is alright, father. She has been waiting for you. You should not leave Mother at this time"
"I know, I am sorry. I will stay with her now" Hongyi said embarrassingly.
Wang Lei looked at his father and thought it was the right time to ask.
"Father I have been looking for this flower, can you use your connections to find it. This flower will help the mother during delivery"
"Oh~ what flower?" Hongyi asked intriguingly. He knew his son was studying and he was quite intelligent, so he thought maybe he did found a cure.
"Soul Forming Flower" Wang Lei said seriously.
Listening to him Hongyi had a difficult expression. Looking at his expression Wang Lei though he doesn't know about the flower. he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"I do know where to find it. But the thing is, it's quite hard to get" Hearing him Wang Lei beamed. He finally found the clue he can't let this slip from his hands.
"Where can I find it?" Wang Lei asked eagerly.
Seeing his son eager expression Hongyi thought again whether he should tell him or not. He knew that his son loves his mother a lot but he didn't want him to act recklessly. Doctors had told him that Dongxue has a very weak physique and she can't give birth. But she insisted on giving birth which made him very worried. If according to his son, this flower can help her during birth he wanted to give it a try.
"It is found on the east side of the city in the mountains but we don't have anyone to send there. And if I asked for my friends help it would take a lot of time for him to come" Hongyi said.
Hearing him Wang Lei started to think. He could go there and check it himself but he needed to do it secretly. He cannot let anyone else know about it or they will stop him.
"Thanks, father"
"Don't do anything reckless, ok"
"Don't worry I won't"
After knowing the location Wang Lei left and went to his room for the preparation.
