Chapter 173: Companion.
Just as Smelian thought, Grace had known about Cecil's appearance for a long time. The reason why she did not stop him was also a test.
After all, Cecil's identity was there. They were both Lu Xia's partners, but Cecil had a royal identity. He was not sure what Cecil would do after their identities were exposed.
So it would be best to test Cecil's cognition and thoughts on the rebels before that.
Now Cecil stood firmly on Lu Xia's side and chose to join them. This was undoubtedly very good news for them.
Cecil's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. After all, he would never have thought that the commander of the rebels was Grace.
Then Grace's disappearance was not a coincidence but a necessity, and everything they did was now hidden from Lu Xia.
He knew very well that this concealment was a kind of protection for Lu Xia, but he also knew that if the matter was exposed, Lu Xia might be angry.
But since he had said that to Smellian, he did not regret it. He was born in the royal family, and he knew very well that the royal family was now in decline. The superficial glory could not cover up the internal rot.
If the system could be re-established, it would be a good choice. The most important thing was that he did not want Lu Xia to suffer any injustice and compromise.
Their little females should live happily.
Lu Xia rarely saw Smellian and Cecil coming back together, and said in surprise: "Why did you two come back together today?"
Smellian smiled and said: "We just met outside the door and came in together."
Lu Xia did not doubt Smellian's words, and nodded with a smile: "Dinner is ready, wash your hands and eat."
No matter what happened outside, it was always warm to return home. Cecil glanced at the smile on Smellian's face and felt that this guy was really good at pretending.
Feeling Cecil's gaze, Smellian gave him a calm look.
Cecil turned his head and said to Lu Xia, "I'll go change clothes first, sister."
Lu Xia responded and watched Cecil leave. She looked back at Smelian and asked, "When are you going to inject the Ice Spirit Gene?"
"Tomorrow, I'm resting tomorrow."
"Then I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a room for you in advance."
"Okay, thank you." Smelian said, and reached out to hug Lu Xia.
*
The next morning, after Cecil left the Duke's Mansion, Smelian took the Ice Spirit Gene Extract and entered the empty room that the old housekeeper had prepared for him in advance.
Lu Xia originally wanted to accompany him, but was rejected by Smelian because he didn't know if there would be any bad situation during the injection. If so, if he couldn't control himself and hurt Lu Xia, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Lu Xia also understood this, so he didn't force it. He just watched Smelian enter the room and reminded him, "I'm outside. You can call me if you need anything."
He handed a cup of spiritual spring water to Smelian and motioned Smelian to drink it.
Smelian had no objection, took the cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned and entered the room.
He took out the Ice Spirit Gene Extract from the sealed box. The ice-blue liquid looked very beautiful and mysterious.
This is a kind of supernatural gene liquid that all male orcs cannot refuse. It is a priceless existence.
But Lu Xia gave it to him so easily.
Smellian slowly pushed the liquid into his body, and then came the biting cold. A thin layer of frost covered his arm that had just been injected.
He endured the chill emanating from his body, knowing that this was the effect of the ice spirit gene extract. The process was not long, but the biting cold made Smellian unable to bear it. He knelt on one knee on the ground, and a layer of frost was frozen everywhere he touched. The temperature
in the room also dropped suddenly. If there were other people in the room at this time, they would definitely be amazed at this magical scene. Smellian had become a person wrapped in ice.
But soon, his white wings suddenly opened on his back, and a gust of cold wind blew.
Then the shell formed by the layer of frost covering his body surface broke into pieces, revealing Smellian's original skin color. The wings behind him slowly disappeared, and Smellian's body shook and fell to the ground.
When the overwhelming sense of supernatural power disappeared from his body, only endless emptiness remained.
Smellian felt that he had no strength left in his body. He couldn't help thinking that this was probably the weak period that Lu Xia mentioned. It was indeed more serious than he thought, but it was not unacceptable and tolerable.
There was a knock on the door outside. Smellian looked at the closed door and knew it was Lu Xia.
He wanted to say that he was fine and didn't want Lu Xia to worry, but he found that he couldn't even make a sound.
Maybe the person outside the door didn't wait for the echo from inside and opened the door himself.
The moment Lu Xia opened the door, she felt that the temperature in the room was very low, and then she saw Smellian lying on the ground.
The young male's face was also very pale, but he still looked at her gently. Lu Xia walked in quickly and came to Smellian's side: "Are you okay?"
Smellian nodded gently, indicating that he was fine, but he couldn't make any sound now.
Lu Xia noticed this and asked quickly: "Can't you talk now, Smelian? The weak period may be a little difficult to endure. Just hold on. I'll ask the housekeeper to take you to the room to rest."
Not long after, the old housekeeper came in with the servants and carried Smelian back to the room. Lu Xia fed him some spiritual spring water, hoping that he could recover quickly.
After doing these things, Lu Xia did not leave, but stayed in the room to accompany Smelian through this difficult weak period.
She couldn't help but wonder if Grace was also suffering when she injected the fire spirit gene, but she was not around at that time.
And the other party never mentioned it to her. Grace probably didn't want to make her worry.
Thinking of Grace again, Lu Xia still felt melancholy in her heart. I wonder how the other party is doing now?
But she knew very well that according to Grace's strength, she should be able to live well no matter where she is.
As time went by, Smelian's complexion gradually recovered. Looking at the little female sleeping beside the bed, Smelian's heart softened. He reached out and gently touched Lu Xia's hair, but did not dare to disturb her.
He turned over and got out of bed lightly, then carried the sleeping little female back to the bed, allowing her to sleep more peacefully.
However, the action still disturbed Lu Xia's dream, and she heard the little female say in a soft voice: "Smelian, are you feeling better?"
