Chapter 156
After gaining perfect connection with the sealing book, Michelle stared at it for a long while, her purple eyes deep and profound. Something within her subconsciousness had moved, and she felt like she suddenly knew how to seal things. So she could move on with her plan to permanently get rid of the extreme humidity in the basement. It was already starting to make her sick.
"You should rest before you do anything more!" Alexander warned, walking over to Michelle. Before she could react, she found the sealing book snatched away from her, making her frown. Alexander also leaned against her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist and arms, rendering her helpless.
"I’m fine!" Michelle snapped. Out of the few things she hated, being restrained was among the top three.
"At this rate, you will overuse your soul energy again," Alexander’s voice was still playful and carefree, but his tight grip around Michelle proved otherwise.
"I don’t need my soul energy for the sealing process!" Michelle retorted as she pushed her elbow back, hitting Alexander hard in his chest.
Knowing how stubborn Michelle was, even though Alexander was more hard-headed than she was, he gave in to her for the first time. "If I see you use any soul energy, I’ll make sure you stay on the ground for a whole week!" he said with a cold smile, his gaze carrying a clear threat.
If anyone other than Michelle ended up under that gaze, they would shake in their boots, but Michelle was different. Not only was she a former assassin, but the reminder of all the times Alexander was able to oppress her and render her motionless with his aura fueled her desire to get stronger than him and beat him up. So she didn’t waver under that gaze.
In her mind, if she did waver in front of him, she would no longer be worthy of ever standing far above him. Thus she decided to make her stance clear from the start. "Don’t worry! I can take care of myself!"
With that, Michelle snatched back the sealing book and opened it. Because of the perfect connection, she didn’t have to think deeply about what to do. When she wanted to use the sealing book, the skills needed for it and related information simply surfaced in her mind.
