Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1768

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: Forcing Adaptation! Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: Forcing Adaptation! Ethan Smith struggled to show a faint smile and said, “Thank…you…for your compliments…”

“Ken Middleton asked me to convey his gratitude to you on his behalf.” Forrest Middleton paused for a moment, then continued, “You saved his life; I owe you one.”

Ethan waved his hand. He wanted to say something, but the intense pain had left him almost incapacitated.

Cold sweat soaked Ethan's body, his face pale, and he looked extremely weak.

Ethan was about to speak, but then his vision went dark, and he fell straight down.

When Ethan woke up again, it was already three days later.

That intense pain hadn't disappeared with his fainting; it seemed, as Forrest had said, that it was going to be with him for a long time.

There were people all around the bedside who had learned about Ethan's physical condition.

Seeing Ethan in such a difficult state, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

The first thing Ethan did when he woke up was to get up again.

His body swayed unsteadily, like an old man with faltering steps.

Seeing this, Salena Carpenter couldn't help herself.

She opened her arms, embracing Ethan with her small body, and gently said, “Ethan, rest a little more, will you…”

Ethan looked down at Salena and smiled, “I…I'm fine; Senior Middleton said that faith conquers everything…”

“Why are you pushing yourself so hard? If there's something that needs to be done, just tell us.” Randall Freeman said in a deep voice.

Ethan looked at Randall Freeman and smiled, “Some things…I have to do myself.”

“It's because of some aristocratic family in the Central Province.” At this moment, Forrest spoke up.

“The aristocratic family in the Central Province?” As these four words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.

That was the Central Province, the most powerful place in the entire Holy Region.

With their abilities, they probably couldn't shake any family in the Central Province.

“So what if it's an aristocratic family in the Central Province, Ethan, you rest well, and leave it to me!” Salena said indignantly.

“Just tell me their name, and I'll take care of them for you tomorrow!”

Randall Freeman beside them grinned, “Miss Carpenter, don't brag…”

Salena glared at him and said, “Just because I can't do it today doesn't mean I can't do it tomorrow! If it's not in one day, then ten days; if not in one year, then ten years! One day I'll bring them down!”

Hearing Salena's words, Ethan felt extremely gratified.

He smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it.”

Afterwards, Ethan tried to move around the room with difficulty.

“You see, I can walk now; in a couple of days, I'll be able to run.” Ethan tried to lighten the mood.

But the more he did so, the more uncomfortable everyone felt.

“Give me a few days to adapt; if I really can't do it, I won't push myself.” Ethan said solemnly.

Salena opened her mouth to say something, but Forrest stopped her, shaking his head, “Give him a few days; otherwise, he won't give up.”

Hearing Forrest's words, Salena, despite having a lot to say, swallowed her words back.

So, following Ethan's wishes, everyone left the room.

In the following days, Ethan showed not the slightest intention of giving up; he truly planned to adapt to the pain and continue living in pain.

Outside the room, Gregory Hum and others were waiting for him, worried that something might happen to Ethan.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Ethan had adapted quite a bit to the pain.

From the initial inability to get up, he could almost move freely now.

However, returning to his normal life seemed difficult.

Ethan slowly tried to live a normal life, eating together with everyone, chatting, and walking around Grandeous Mountain.

Although his brows would sometimes furrow, he hadn't stopped taking a single step.

“What a terrifying ability to adapt.” Randall Freeman couldn't help but sigh.

“You're wrong; it's the power of faith.” Gregory Hum also sighed.

“Someone like me might never understand this power; their inner purity and passion cannot be matched by me. ” Gregory shook his head.

Although Randall Freeman didn't quite understand what he meant, he nodded as well.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.

Ethan's activities had almost returned to normal, but of course, without any cultivation.

One day, Ethan, Gregory, and Randall Freeman were sitting together for a meal.

At that moment, Ethan suddenly thought of Salena and asked in surprise, “I haven't seen Salena for a long time; where did she go?”

Randall Freeman rolled his eyes and said, “Miss Carpenter's mind is quite simple; after hearing about the Central Province's aristocratic family last time, she went into seclusion. She seems to really want to give it a try in the Central Province.”

Although Ethan felt a bit helpless, he was more moved in his heart.

Salena wasn't a scheming person; she was extremely simple.

And such simplicity is rare in this world.

“Speaking of which, Salena played a significant role in the last battle,” Gregory said.

Randall Freeman quickly nodded, “Even though the purple cloud pearl was absorbed by her, she seemed to be able to use part of its power.”

“In the last battle, even a joint attack from the duo of Everlast and Simon Ingram was no match for her. You have to know, she's only at the half-step Reversion Void Stage.”

Ethan nodded slightly; he certainly knew about this.

“It probably has to do with Salena's unique constitution,” Ethan said.

“Besides the purple cloud pearl, I wonder if Salena can absorb other Dharma Treasures.”

Randall Freeman nodded as well, “I've thought about this too; if she absorbs all the Dharma Treasures and transforms them into her own power, it'd be incredibly psycho.”

“Yes,” Ethan agreed.

As for Salena's potential, Ethan also had some expectations in his heart.

In the following period, Clay and Alfred Freeman took Ethan everywhere to wander about.

Since the North Plain's lockdown was lifted, the Southern Province had regained its prosperity.

Walking on the streets, there were shouts from sellers everywhere, and various treasures were taken out one after another.

Clay and Alfred Freeman had no interest in this; their only responsibility was to take Ethan on eating and drinking sprees.

“Ethan, there's a particularly interesting place in Grandeous City. Do you want to give it a try?” One day, Clay said mysteriously.

“Yes, it's so much fun!” Alfred also nodded in agreement.

Ethan asked suspiciously, “What kind of fun place?”

“Hey, never mind; you'll know when you get there, it's guaranteed to be fun!” Clay continued mysteriously.

So, with curiosity, Ethan followed the two brothers toward the mysterious location.

After a long time of roaming through streets and lanes, Clay and Alfred finally stopped.

“Here it is!” Clay pointed to a building in front of them and said.

Alfred wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and lewdly said, “It's been a long time since I've been here; I wonder if Alanna missed me.”
