Chloe raised her hands, stretching her new body.
Zures and Shuu stood in front of her. "Congratulations on your new body, Miss Chloe!"
Chloe smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, Zures, Shuu."
A dimensional portal opened, and Yunia and Hera stepped out from inside. Their eyes focused on Chloe. They walked toward her.
"How's the new body?" Hera asked.
"It just needs a little adaptation. I also need to create a medicine to speed up my recovery. That way, I can make two types of medicine for Enatur."
Yunia lowered her eyebrows. "Why?"
Chloe took a deep breath. "The medicine to heal the Soul Core Curse requires my peak power. That pill is a high-level medicine. Using half-baked power will only increase the chance of failure."
Hera patted her shoulder. "Yunia, be patient. Don't rush too much."
Yunia closed her eyes. "Alright, do it when your power is ready."
Chloe nodded. "Just leave it to me."
Zures and Shuu approached Yunia. "Miss Yunia, we will rest to recover our power."
"Alright, go rest."
"But today there is a meeting with a client to finalize the business cooperation contract. Your presence is required to replace me in the meeting," Zures said.
"Huh?" Yunia was shocked.
Shuu displayed the hologram screen. "Today you also have a scheduled meeting with the owner of the Liang Group. Then a meeting for the new infrastructure development project. And a meeting with the owner of the consulting company."
Yunia's eyes widened. "Shuu, didn't I already assign all those tasks to you? You're my vice president, right?"
Shuu bowed slightly. "I need to rest. We request Miss Yunia to carry out your duties as the owner of many business companies."
Yunia's eyes spun, her head turning dizzy.
"Alright, Shuu, Zures, go rest. This woman will do her job," Hera said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zures, Shuu," Yunia said, her mouth trembling.
Yunia opened a dimensional portal and stepped inside. Hera and Chloe followed from behind.
Yunia was forced to handle several office duties she usually dumped on Shuu and Zures at will. She received a little karma for it.

The mansion was calm and silent, fog covering the front garden. The sun had yet to show its light. Holographic watch showed 04:30 AM. Po-chan shook Enatur's shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes.
Rein floated closer to him. "Master, didn't you promise to go for a morning run with Carl and Marissa?"
Enatur rubbed his eyes. "You're right. Come run with us."
"Alright, Master."
Enatur saw Shadow still asleep on the bed next to him, his form is a normal dog. Enatur walked to the wardrobe, put on a singlet and training pants, and headed quietly to the mansion lobby.
"You guys ready?" Carl called from the front door. He wore a singlet and long pants.
Marissa put her hands on her hips. "Wow, you're actually joining morning jogging." She grinned. She wore a tank top and knee-length leggings.
"Hahaha… I just wanna boost my stamina," Enatur pouted.
Enatur smirked. "Am I ruining your couple time?"
"That's not what you think!" they both shouted, their faces turning red.
"Let's start already!" Carl said. They put on their running shoes.
They jogged out through the front gate, starting with a light run. They ran around the residential complex, where the big houses looked like palaces, though not as big as their mansion.
Two minutes passed, sweat flowed from Enatur's forehead, his neck soaked until it seeped into the collar of his singlet. He bent down, holding his knees.
"That's so pathetic, sweat like that after just two minutes jogging." Marissa mocked.
"Shut up!" Enatur pouted again.
"Master, keep going, don't give up!" Rein said.
"Hm, thanks, Rein."
They continued jogging around the residential complex. Sweat poured heavier, his singlet fully soaked, but he didn't stop.
The sun slowly appeared, the city of Anfield being bathed in sunlight. Sweat dripped from Carl and Marissa's temples, their breaths slightly heavy. Enatur's breath turned sharp and strained, his lungs working extremely hard.
They stopped at the gazebo in the park. Water slowly flowed from Enatur's palm. He provided water for Carl and Marissa. They drank it slowly and as much as they wanted.
"Ah, that's refreshing." Marissa said.
"Yeah, really refreshing." Carl said.
"My body feels so heavy."
Marissa wiped her sweat with a small towel hanging on her neck. "That's what you get for never working out."
"Yeah yeah, I get it. Maybe exercising isn't a bad idea…"
"There's gym equipment on the fourth floor. Go train that skinny body so you get some muscles." Carl said.
His eyes instantly stared at both of his arms. "Now that you say it… you're kinda right."
"If you want, I'll teach you how to use the light equipment first, how about that?" Carl asked.
"Oh that sounds good, teach me."
Rein opened a holographic screen. "If Master wishes, I will set up a beginner gym routine. I can prepare the data."
"Now that's a good idea, Rein." Marissa said.
"Alright, after I make coffee for you guys and the others, we'll gym together!"
After making coffee, they trained in the gym. Rein, Marissa, and Carl guided Enatur.

The next day…
Shadow opened the window of the room, the morning sunlight slowly entering the room. The digital clock showed 08:00 AM.
Shadow shook Enatur's curled body on the bed. "Enatur, it's morning. Get up."
His tone sounded heavy. "N-not now, my body hurts everywhere."
Shadow make a fun at him. "That's normal. Your body rarely exercises. It's a side effect, feel it."
He was so upset because he was teased. "S-shut up, damn it…"
Enatur didn't get out of bed and lazed in his room. Shadow peeked through the window, seeing Chloe doing something.
In the backyard, Chloe sat cross-legged. She was making two pills for Enatur. She stretched her hands forward, controlling two floating black flames. All the medicinal ingredients turned liquid, spinning to merge.
"It's now in the final stage, unification," Chloe said.
Yunia waited for Chloe to finish the pills. Shadow and Rein approached her, and sat next to her.
"How's Enatur?" Yunia asked.
"He's still curled up in pain." Shadow answered.
Yunia chuckled. "Hmph… let him feel it."
Chloe's body released an aura of black-purple energy. The energy flowed toward the two flames. The energy fluctuation generated a strong blast of wind.
A golden light and a green light shone from two of the flames. The black flame gradually disappeared, revealing two pills with a diameter of 2 cm.
A golden pill with red patterns, and a green pill with black and gold patterns.
Chloe exhaled deeply. "The medicines are finished, now bring Enatur here."
Shadow stiffened. "It seems he won't get out of his bed."
"His physical condition is bad, is that not a problem?" Yunia asked.
Chloe nodded. "It's not a problem. The physical body has nothing to do with this. What we will heal is his spiritual soul."
Yunia stood. "Alright, I will drag that kid here."
Yunia teleported to Enatur's room.
The yelling between mother and son echoed to the backyard. Shadow and Chloe simply listened from outside.
"I don't want to, my whole body hurts!"
"Stop complaining, Chloe is waiting!"
"I said no! Just do it tomorrow!"
"There is no time, you stubborn child!"
A hitting sound was heard.
"Ouch!"
Shadow whispered. "I hope Miss Chloe gets used to situations like this."
Chloe chuckled. "Hm, even so, Yunia has changed a lot."
Yunia teleported back to the backyard. A large bump appeared on his head. Yunia placed him on the grass.
Enatur lay on his back. "M-my whole body hurts and now my head hurts too…"
Chloe stretched her left hand. "I need the Soul Grass Essence Medicine."
Yunia waved her hand, opening the storage space. She took a small jar of liquid medicine and handed it to Chloe.
He spoke in a weak tone. "Then, what do I need to do?" Enatur asked.
"You just need to sit cross-legged and swallow this pill."
Chloe waved her hand, the green pill with black and gold patterns floated in front of Enatur. He grabbed the pill.
"That pill is the Soul Essence Pill to improve a dying spiritual soul. Now swallow the pill," Chloe said firmly.
His mouth opened and he swallowed the pill.
Chloe nodded. "Now meditate."
He closed his eyes, his hands placed on his knees. Chloe meditated as well, her body releasing a thick black-purple spiritual energy. The energy flowed into the air and entered Enatur's forehead.
"What is happening, Miss Yunia?" Rein asked.
"This is only a basic procedure. Chloe is currently inside Enatur's Spiritual Realm."
"Spiritual Realm?" Shadow and Rein asked.
"Spiritual Realm is a realm to train spiritual soul power in isolation. Only the spiritual body and the spiritual soul can access the Spiritual Realm."
---
Chloe's spiritual body was now inside his Spiritual Realm. A silent, empty realm. Below, three giant swirling energy vortexes stood side by side.
A red vortex shrouded in black mist, a pale blue vortex with a mist of freezing cold, and a pure white vortex like a whirlpool of water.
In front of her were two spiritual souls inside a transparent white energy sphere. They were bound by black chains radiating purple aura, tightly wrapping around the energy sphere.
Those two spiritual souls were Enatur's soul and Uncle Marrec's soul.
