"Wah!"
Theresa fell to the ground and looked up in dissatisfaction.
"Lin Nai, you were clearly trying to bully me on purpose, weren't you?"
"Not at all. I went easy on you." Lin Nai crouched down and poked Theresa's cheek.
"By the way, can't I just wait for the core to form on its own, or use Honkai energy to speed up the fusion?"
"Not really." Lin Nai shook his head. "When I examined your body these past few days, I found that the Honkai energy was gathering more and more slowly."
He even suspected that if Theresa had not used her Authority on Kiana's portal before—
Those Honkai energies might not have been able to gather at all.
As for using Honkai energy to speed it up...
It was not as if Lin Nai had not tried, but it had been useless.
"Sigh..."
Theresa wanted to say something, but she merely sighed and did not say it.
Lin Nai untied the whip binding Theresa.
This was not something that could be rushed.
They could only try slowly and feel their way forward.
But the moment the whip came off, Theresa threw another punch at Lin Nai.
Theresa understood that Lin Nai wanted to help her gain control over the Authority of Binding.
Understanding was one thing.
It did not stop Theresa from wanting to hit him, did it?
Lin Nai had deliberately used the whip to smack her butt, and Theresa was extremely unhappy about it!
Come on!
She was already this old! Why was she still getting spanked?!
Not even her grandfather had ever spanked her!
Lin Nai: Age? Wasn't Fu Hua still getting whipped by me at night at her age? What was the big deal?
Thus, not long afterward.
Theresa was subdued one-handed by Lin Nai.
