Chapter 746 - Misunderstanding (1/2)
"As long as you are by my side, I can bear any pain!" Si Tuying said as she looked deeply into Jiang Fei's eyes.
"Ughh! That's so gross!" Shang Guanqi could not stand the romance. She had been curious about the effects of the potion which claimed to be able to increase one's capabilities instantly, but she did not want to see the goings-on between Si Tuying and Jiang Fei.
"Yikes! Sister Guanqi, you are horrible! You made fun of me!" Although Si Tuying was used to joking around with Jiang Fei, she was still embarrassed by Shang Guanqi's reaction.
"Come on. I'll be right by your side!" Jiang Fei said as he tried to diffuse the awkwardness. He then handed Si Tuying the bottle of potion.
"Alright!" Si Tuying blushed with embarrassment. As she was also eager to change the topic, she immediately grabbed the bottle and chugged down the contents.
"It does tastes fruity!" Si Tuying exclaimed. The sweet and sour taste of the potion was quite enjoyable. However, Jiang Fei knew that the true challenge had yet to come.
Indeed, not too long after, Si Tuying's facial expression changed.
"Jiang Fei, this feels horrible…" Si Tuying said bitterly as she squatted down.
"You must bear this on your own. If I tried to help you, it would only make things worse! Don't worry, I will accompany you until it's over!" Jiang Fei held Si Tuying's hand tightly as he spoke.
"Can we really not help her?" Shang Guanqi said pitifully.
"Only those who bear the pain on their own can reap the rewards!" Jiang Fei said without turning his head around. He was completely focused on Si Tuying at the moment.
"Yikes!" Shang Guanqi sighed. Although she could not imagine the amount of pain Si Tuying was going true, she began to envision everything she had experienced growing up. If she had a choice, she would rather go through all this pain on her own than hurt the people around her.
"Ahh…" Si Tuying finally shouted out loudly as she could no longer contain the pain within herself.
"Ariel, do something!" Jiang Fei turned around to look at Ariel.
"Alright!" Ariel nodded as she created a seclusion to prevent Si Tuying's sound from being heard beyond Jiang Fei's room.
Although Jiang Fei's parents were not home, he did not want to risk them worrying once they returned as the painful process Si Tuying was going through would not end anytime soon.
Just as Jiang Fei did in the past, Si Tuying would have to go through the pain. The pain was what strengthened her soul so that both her soul and body could handle the change in her powers.
After some time had passed, Jiang Fei's mother returned from grocery shopping. Shang Guanqi and Ariel left the room to help her out in the kitchen while Jiang Fei continued to accompany Si Tuying in his room.
After approximately an hour, Si Tuying's suffering finally ended.
"Jiang Fei, am I still alive?" Si Tuying was soaked in her own sweat.
"Of course, you are alive and well!" Jiang Fei brushed his hand against Si Tuying's pale face gently. He looked at her compassionately.
"Have I acquired new powers?" Si Tuying felt very happy when she saw Jiang Fei's look of concern. However, she was much more concerned with something else.
"Of course. You have obtained Level 3 powers!" Jiang Fei said as he kissed Si Tuying's forehead.
