Sima You Yue immediately smiled and pointed at him, “You don’t have to be like this, right? It’s not as painful as you imagine it to be.”
“Eh?” Fu Xi blinked his eyes in surprise, feeling like something was off about his body. His arms and legs wouldn’t move as he willed. “What- what’s happening to me?”
Sima You Yue shook her head saying, “The pills I made you eat. You just ate them without asking me anything.”
“Isn’t it because I trust you?” Fu Xi said, “However, what did you make me eat?”
“Numbing medication. It can make you lose your senses temporarily. It will numb a lot of the pain during the shocks.” Sima You Yue explained.
“There’s a pill like that?”
“Haven’t you felt the effects of it?” Sima You Yue got Yang Hui to lay him on the bed.
“You Yue, if you strike me here, won’t you damage the entire Youthful Palace? Will you give those people a shock again?”
“It’s not like what you’re thinking of.” Sima You Yue shifted the long stool beside the bed, then held onto his hand, saying, “Although I’ve numbed your body, it’s possible that it won’t eradicate your pain completely. So you have to hold on. Also, once the numbing medicine wears off, there might still be pain.”
“I got it.” Fu Xi said.
“Also, to start off, I will use the lightest current to test your ability to withstand it. During this time, Lingyu will keep an eye on your condition. If anything happens, you have to tell me.” Sima You Yue instructed.
“Alright.”
When Fu Xi heard her saying these things, he knew that it was not the type of lightning that he was thinking of and was a lot more relaxed and not as terrified.
Sima You Yue took off his clothes while Wu Lingyu stood at the side, and inserted his spirit energy into his body to keep an eye on his condition.
“I’m starting now.” Sima You Yue said as she formed some lightning between her hands. Fu Xi watched as the lightning danced along her palms and gulped. As it danced in her palms, he placed both hands across his chest.
The pain that he thought would come never did, and he didn’t feel even a bit of it. That was why he did not know whether or not there were any changes in his body after being shocked.
“The results of all the fortifications your master did for your body are showing.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m going to increase the strength of the current.”
The current that she released earlier on was something that the average person would be able to withstand. However, his body did not react in any particular way, which meant that this amount of current was nothing to him.
She increased the current, then poured it into his body before directing it towards his major organs.
“Ugh-”
Although the pills had numbed his consciousness, Fu Xi could sense some pain. If not for the numbing, he probably would have fainted from the pain.
Sima You Yue released one wave of it before resting for a moment and continuing. It took five rounds before it finally ended.
Wu Lingyu was currently linked with Fu Xi. Although he could also release electric shocks, the ones that Sima You Yue could produce were still a little stronger than his.
“Lingyu, I’m done. You can rest.” Sima You Yue said as she saw that his complexion was a little off.
Wu Lingyu nodded and retrieved his spirit energy before going to the side to rest.
Sima You Yue examined Fu Xi and realised that the parts of his body that had stopped growing had reacted a little. Although he had not yet begun to grow, this was proof that there were results.
When she told Fu Xi the results, a smile broke out on Fu Xi’s face. They had finally found a solution.
“When are we going to do this again?” He urgently wanted to grow right now.
“We have to wait at least five days.” Sima You Yue said.
“I have to wait such a long time? Can’t we do it earlier? There’s nothing wrong with my body, so why do I have to wait for such a long time?”
“Don’t be anxious, and don’t celebrate too early.” Sima You Yue said, “You can’t feel anything now, but just wait till the effects of the medicine wear off. You’ll be in pain. Five days is a conservative estimate too.”
“Ah?” Fu Xi’s expression soured. He thought that it was fine now that it was over!
Sima You Yue took out a pill and fed it to him, saying, “This is to heal your injuries. However, don’t count on it to ease your pain.”
“Oh.” Fu Xi replied. Although she made it sound serious, he still felt happy. How many years had it been? His body was finally about to begin growing again. It really made him excited!
However, shortly afterwards, he was unable to smile as his body was wracked with so much pain that he felt like he was going to faint.
“You Yue, why has it already started hurting!”
“Medicine that numbs the pain isn’t good for the body after all, so the shorter it lasts the better. That is why I didn’t do it for too long before.” Sima You Yue said, “This was also your first time. It’ll get better as you get used to it.”
“Are you certain that it won’t get more painful the more you do it?” Fu Xi grit his teeth. Sima You Yue seemed to sense that he was going to split his lip and stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth to stop him from biting himself.
“This was how I handled it.” She flashed back to her past and was filled with nostalgia, “For your case, I’m still the one controlling the lightning. The first time I was struck, I thought I was going to split into two. Later on, I slowly got used to it.”
“You’re very powerful!’
“I’m not powerful! I just had no way to retreat. It was also not like it’s something I could stop having just because I wanted it to stop.” Sima You Yue said, “On the bright side, I managed to form a contract with Little Purple with the help of my contracted beasts. Only then did I not turn to ash every time there was a lightning calamity. However, even now, every time I go through a calamity, I will allow a portion of the lightning to strike my body and allow the lightning to temper my body.”
Fu Xi’s eyes shone. Would he be able to be like this in the future?
Sima You Yue could see what he was thinking and laughed, “I’m giving you this treatment now, which is also helping to temper your body. In the future, you’ll be a lot stronger at defending yourself against lightning as compared to others.”
“Thank you!” Fu Xi’s voice was muffled against the cloth and his words were unclear.
“Your body stopped growing long ago. If you start to grow in the future, I’m afraid that it will hurt as well. You have to know this, so you won’t be flustered later on when you encounter it.”
“Mm hmm. As long as I can grow, even if it hurts all the time, it doesn’t matter.” Fu Xi said.
“You should rest well. Once your body recovers, we’ll continue.”
“Alright.”
The intense pain wracking his body let him give up on undergoing the next step of treatment immediately. If he went through this again, he would lose his little life.
After Sima You Yue was done with him, she went to Wu Lingyu’s side and pulled his hand to help examine him.
“Not too bad, you’ll be able to recover after eating some pills and having some rest. Let Fu Xi have a good rest, let’s head out.”
Wu Lingyu left with her, and Fu Xi huffed as he watched him leave. This guy, apart from being a little strong, he also looked pretty decent. Fine, he would stop hating him.
Hiss- it really hurts! Thinking about how he didn’t even know how many times he would have to go through this, he felt terrible. He suddenly wondered whether or not his masters knew about this, which was why they didn’t tell him anything?
