บท 866: Because I needed to Grow Strong. I needed to be Stronger than Everyone Else

Mu Jinghang grunted, "Bathe in ice for three days? Wouldn't you turn into a popsicle?!"

The granny frowned, "No wonder. Girls shouldn't even bathe in cold water yet you stayed in ice for three days? Why aren't you immortal yet?"

Qiao Qing, "..."

Different from others' reactions, Jun Yexuan was angry and his heart ached, "Why must you break through to the last level?"

Qiao Qing answered, "Because I needed to grow strong. I needed to be stronger than everyone else. Only then could I be in control and protect those I care about."

She spoke softly and with ease. Her statement, however, made Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen teary.

They knew generally how she was forced to mature at a young age. But they didn't know just how treacherous her journey was. 

They guessed that she had to go through many hardships. But every time she described some of the things she had to endure through, their hearts ached.
