Chapter 173 Companionship.

Just as Smelian thought, Grace had indeed known about Cecil's appearance a long time ago, and the reason why she did not stop him was also a test.

After all, Cecil's identity is there. They are both Lu Xia's partners, but Cecil has a royal identity. He is not sure what choice Cecil will make after their identities are exposed.

Therefore, it would be best to test Cecil's understanding and thoughts on the rebels before doing so.

Now Cecil has firmly stood on Lu Xia's side and chosen to join them, which is undoubtedly very good news for them.

Cecil was not as calm as he seemed. After all, he would never have thought that the commander of the rebels was actually 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 form of protection for Lu Xia, but he also knew that if the matter was exposed, Lu Xia might be angry.

But since he had already said that to Smellian, he did not regret it. He himself was from a royal family, and he knew very well that the royal family was now in decline. The superficial glory could no longer cover up the internal rot.

If the system could be re-established, it would be a good option. The most important thing is that he doesn't want Lu Xia to suffer any injustice or compromise again.

Their little females should live happily and joyfully.

Lu Xia saw Smelian and Cecil coming back together, which was rare. She asked in surprise, "Why are you two coming back together today?"

Smellian smiled and said, "We just happened to meet outside the door, so we came in together."

Lu Xia had no doubt about Smelian's words and nodded with a smile: "Dinner is ready, wash your hands and eat now."

No matter what happens outside, it is always warm when you 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'm going to change my clothes first, sister."

Lu Xia responded and watched Cecil leave. He then turned back to Smellian and asked, "When are you going to inject the Ice Spirit gene?"

"Tomorrow, I'll take a rest tomorrow."

"Then I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a room for you in advance."

"Okay, thank you." Smelian said, reaching out and hugging Lu Xia.

The next morning, after Cecil left the Duke's Mansion, Smellian took the Ice Spirit Gene Extract and entered the empty room that the old butler had prepared for him in advance.

Lu Xia originally wanted to accompany him, but was rejected by Smelian because he didn't know if anything bad would happen 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 just outside. You can call me if you need anything."

He placed a cup of spiritual spring water in front of Smellian and motioned him to drink it.

Smellian had no objection, took the cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned and entered the room.

Taking the Ice Spirit Gene Extract from the sealed box, the icy blue liquid looked beautiful and full of mystery. This was a supernatural gene liquid that no male orc could refuse, and it was priceless.

But Lu Xia gave it to him so easily.

Smellian slowly pushed the liquid into his body, and a biting cold followed, and a thin layer of frost covered his arm where he had just been injected.

He endured the chill emanating from his body, knowing full well that it was the Ice Spirit Gene Extract taking effect. The process wasn't actually long, but the biting cold was too much for Smellian to bear. He knelt on one knee on the ground, and everything he touched was covered with a layer of frost.

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. Smelian had become a person wrapped in ice.

But soon, the white wings on his back suddenly spread out, and a cold wind blew.

Then the layer of frost covering his body shattered, 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 the body, only endless emptiness remained.

Smelian felt that he had no strength left in his body. He couldn't help but think that this was probably the weak period that Lu Xia mentioned. It was indeed more serious than he had imagined, but it was not unacceptable or unbearable.

There was a knock on the door. Smellian looked at the closed door and knew it must be Lu Xia.

He wanted to speak to say that he was fine and didn't want to make Lu Xia worry, but he found that he couldn't even make a sound.

Perhaps the person outside the door did not 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 Smelian lying on the ground.

The young male's face was also very pale, but he still looked at her tenderly. Lu Xia walked in quickly and came to Smellian's side: "Are you okay?"

Smellian nodded slightly to indicate that he was fine, but he couldn't make any sound.

Lu Xia noticed this and quickly asked, "Can't you talk now, Smellian? The weak period might be a little difficult to endure. Just hold on for a while. I'll have the housekeeper take you to your room to rest."

Not long after, the old butler came in with the servants and carried Smellian back to the room. Lu Xia fed him some spiritual spring water, hoping that he would recover quickly.

After doing these things, Lu Xia did not leave, but stayed in the room to accompany Smelian through this difficult period of weakness.

She couldn't help but wonder if Grace had been in the same agony when she was injected with the Fire Spirit gene, but she wasn't there at that time.

The other party never mentioned it to her, and Grace probably didn't want to make her worry.

Thinking of Grace again, Lu Xia still felt melancholy in his heart. He wondered how she was doing now.
But she knew very well that given Grace's strength, she should be able to live well no matter where she was.

As time passed, Smelian's complexion gradually recovered. Looking at the little female sleeping on 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 bed so that she could sleep more peacefully.

But the action still disturbed Lu Xia's dream, and she heard the little female say in a soft voice: "Smellian, are you feeling better?"
