Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1767

Chapter 1767: Chapter 1677: The Terror of Stubbornness Chapter 1767: Chapter 1677: The Terror of Stubbornness “Forrest Middleton, I must remind you not to overestimate yourself!” shouted the mysterious person from behind.

But Forrest Middleton chose to ignore it and turned around to leave Cultivation Mountain.

The issue arose from Ethan Smith's doing and was an ongoing risk.

But Forrest Middleton had no intention of confessing this to Ethan Smith.

After all, Forrest Middleton's approach was always life out of death, he never allowed fear.

He journeyed to Grandeous Mountain.

At this point, Ethan Smith's condition was rapidly worsening.

His primordial spirit occasionally blinked and darkened as if it were about to depart this world at any moment.

Salena Carpenter and others surrounding Ethan Smith were at their wits' end. They could only pin their hopes on Forrest Middleton.

“Forrest Middleton!”

Seeing the arrival of Forrest Middleton, a line of people hurriedly approached.

“What's the news? Is there any solution?” Salena Carpenter anxiously asked.

Forrest Middleton paid no mind and walked up to Ethan Smith. He then took out the Pill, using his spiritual power to force Ethan Smith to swallow it.

Upon consuming the Pill, Forrest Middleton retreated a few steps.

“What is this thing?” someone asked from the side.

Forrest Middleton glanced at him and replied, “I don't know, but it will undoubtedly save his life.”

Just as he finished speaking, Ethan Smith, lying on the bed, began to physically recover.

His primordial spirit also seemed to be healing, however lightly.

It seemed, how the mysterious person had stated that for the primordial spirit to fully recover, it would indeed take quite a long time.

Those around Ethan Smith closely crowded his bedside, each silently anxious on Ethan Smith's behalf.

Time flew. After a full hour, Ethan Smith, who was lying on the bed, finally stirred.

His eyes slowly opened. The moment they did, Ethan Smith found the room spinning, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Ethan Smith's stomach was in upheaval, and he vomited abruptly.

Having not eaten for several days, what Ethan Smith vomited was just some acidic, bitter bile.

“Ethan Smith, you're finally awake!” Salena Carpenter and others quickly gathered around.

Ethan Smith rubbed his aching head, his whole body felt dreadful.

He then turned to look at the crowd surrounding him and frowned, “What happened?”

“You rest first, we'll tell you everything later,” Gregory Hum suggested.

Ethan Smith shook his head and replied, “I'm feeling alright now. Whatever it is, just say it.”

Gregory Hum was silent for a while, then shooed away the unrelated bystanders from the room.

Subsequently, Gregory Hum truthfully related to Ethan Smith everything that had happened during his time of unconsciousness.

After hearing what Gregory Hum said, Ethan Smith was a little taken aback.

“You're saying…Dudley Lynch killed Denton Horton?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows deeply.

Gregory Hum at the side answered in affirmation and continued, “Right before he left, he said he'd definitely have a showdown with you in the future.”

Ethan Smith fell silent. Even though he knew Dudley Lynch was extremely sly and evil, he had never imagined that the person who ultimately killed Denton Horton would end up being him.

“Regardless of who did it, Denton Horton's finally dead,” Ethan Smith muttered quietly.

At this moment, Forrest Middleton approached.

He waved his hand, “You all go out first, I have something to say to him.”

The crowd didn't give it much thought. After going through all this, they had developed a certain level of trust in Forrest Middleton.

Soon, only Ethan Smith and Forrest Middleton were left in the room.

Looking at Ethan Smith, Forrest Middleton said somberly, “Your primordial spirit has been damaged, and although you were lucky to survive, the recovery of your primordial spirit might take a long time.”

“During this time, both your strength and cultivation will be affected. I recommend you to rest for some time.”

Upon hearing Forrest Middleton's words, Ethan Smith's face fell.

Rest? He doesn't have the luxury of time to rest.

Entering 'Returning to the Void' already required a long period of time. For Ethan Smith, the concept of rest was simply too luxurious.

Ethan Smith tried to rise, but as soon as he stood up, a wave of intense pain washed over him.

This wave of intense pain caused Ethan Smith to collapse back onto the bed once more.

“How can this be….” Ethan Smith's face was twisted in extreme discomfort.

He struggled to rise again, but the pain intensifying with every attempt!

Instead of headache, it would be more accurate to say it was the aftereffect of the severe injury to the primordial spirit.

“Not like this!” Ethan Smith gritted his teeth and tried to rise once more.

But the result was the same, the pain intensified with each attempt.

Forrest Middleton stood by, and watched the whole ordeal silently without saying a word.

He knew that no matter what he said, it wouldn't make a difference to someone steadfast like Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith tried repeatedly to stand, only to collapse again and again.

After the thirteen attempts, Ethan Smith had still ended up failing every time.

“Just rest properly during this period,” Forrest Middleton suggested gravely.

Ethan Smith grit his teeth and asked, “Isn't there a way to speed up the recovery of my primordial spirit? I…”

“None. At least none that I know of” Forrest Middleton replied crisply.

Ethan Smith hurriedly looked up at Forrest Middleton and asked, “So how long will this state last?”

Forrest Middleton stood up and said somberly, “The damage to the primordial spirit is a serious matter. I'm afraid it will take a few years, even decades.”

At these words, a look of despair hung on Ethan Smith's face!

A few years or even decades? For Ethan Smith, this was akin to a bolt from the blue!

“Don't be too desperate. For cultivators, a few years or even a few decades is just a blink of the eye,” Forrest Middleton tried to reassure.

However, Ethan Smith looked desperately hopeless.

Nevermind a few decades, Ethan Smith couldn't even afford a few years.

Waiting a few years would see everything fall apart.

Ethan Smith, who had collapsed onto the bed, tried to rise again!

The pain this time was even more intense than before!

His sight was shrouded in complete darkness, as if the world were spinning endlessly!

And the unbearable pain caused him to break out in cold sweat!

Ethan Smith swayed from side to side, ready to collapse at any moment.

Seeing him in this state, Forrest Middleton couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. He reached out to offer support to Ethan Smith, but at this moment, Ethan Smith grabbed the edge of the bed, using all his strength to prop himself up, and finally stood up!

Right now, Ethan Smith's forehead was covered in sweat, dropping incessantly like raindrops!

But no matter how painful, he refused to give in!

He stood there, like a pine tree standing firm despite heavy snowfall!

Seeing this, Forrest Middleton said gravely, “What's the point in forcing yourself to stand up?”

Ethan Smith endured the pain and spoke word by word, “Since… I can't change, then I… will try to adapt to this pain… Continue to walk with the illness…”

Hearing this, Forrest Middleton opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

But from his expression, it was apparent that he was taken aback, and his admiration was subtly visible.

“You and Ken Middleton are very similar,” Forrest Middleton murmured after a while.

“Both of you are stubborn, stubborn in a way that's hard for others to comprehend.”
