Chapter 622

Diane pondered briefly over what Severin said and frowned for a moment before asking Severin, "Honey. can you explain to me a bit more about alchemy, spiritual herbs, and other basic knowledge about attainment? I've already made up my mind to take this path, and I wish to become stronger too!"

Severin did not expect Diane to be so interested in attainment, so he began explaining everything carefully to Diane. When the explanation was almost all done, Severin said to her, "There's no hurry. though. Since you've been consuming the reishi mushrooms according to instruction, you've become at grandmaster in no time!"

"How about I try punching you?" Diane smiled at Severin and suggested.

"Bring it on!" Severin stood in front of her.

Diane had a wicked smile and punched Severin right away. After receiving her punch, Severin's eyes lit up as he said in satisfaction, "Not bad! You're already a level four grandmaster! The rate at which you are improving is quite fast, and I think it won't be long before you can break through to level nine! Then we can look forward to getting that treasure!"

"Really? That's awesome! I don't know what level I am, but I can feel that my strength and speed are so much stronger than before!" Diane said with a smile. "I've just only come to appreciate how good it feels to get stronger and stronger!"

"Are you back yet, my handsome Severin?" All of a sudden, a familiar voice sounded in the courtyard downstairs.

Severin was momentarily speechless after hearing that voice and rubbed his temples as he asked, "Why is Sheila here so early? It's like she has a sixth sense and knows that I'm back!"

Beside him, Diane commented, "Sheila's a nice girl. She came here several times during the days that you weren't here." After a pause, she continued, "She even came here this morning, and you wouldn't imagine how disappointed she was when she was told that you weren't around. I told her you'd be back in the evening, and I didn't think she'd be so excited to see you that she came before lunch!"

Severin blushed and said with a gloomy expression, "So you're the one who told her! I was wondering how she knew when I'd arrive!" Although Sheila's friendliness warmed Severin's heart, he always felt that she was too young and immature. He felt that her feelings toward her were nothing but a fleeting crush, and that she might decide to give up after a prolonged period of not meeting each other. Alas, the situation might not be as simple as that if Sheila's enthusiasm was anything to go by, because it was possible that she had fallen head over heels in love with him. However, when he thought about how Diane had suffered several years for him, he felt that he could not accept Sheila because that would only let Diane down.

Severin went to bed and said, "Why don't you go down and tell her to come another day? Just say that I just came back, and I'm catching up on my sleep!"
