Precious bond

In the end, Scarlett was like an eagle, and her brown eyes looked at Ethan calmly. 

He had to make the Pill of Union Understanding for them to attempt cultivating the Dao Partner Art. So he got to cooking it like he cooked the Pill of Comprehension. It was not a very hard process, not much different from cooking curry.

As it was being processed, her gaze on him was intense and uncomfortably scorching. She had even cried a bit, as proven by her red eyes. It was a painful thing that he had said to her. She saw it as a sort of betrayal.

She called it infidelity. Unfaithfulness.

He was genuinely sorry for saying it and already regretted ever uttering those words, but he couldn't take back what he had said. So he got into making the pill and decided to do his best in successfully practicing the Dao Partner Art.
