The Offensively Decadent Faction
While Kaze announced the party, Evalyn made profound, non-tempering cultivation progress.
She intentionally cycled her traumatic memories through her mind, remembering every detail.
Her goal was to [scar] the memories onto her soul to prevent new developments from reopening wounds.
It was also efficient training because her memories triggered wrath and allowed her to practice controlling her emotions. After six hours, no ice was on the lake, showcasing her progress.
Once she was in control, her mind drifted to the black veins on Kaze's chest.
"What caused that?" Evalyn whispered to herself.
It was inconceivable that such a terrifying development would happen in a night, but she had seen his chest just days before.
She pushed past the endless cycle she was stuck in and retraced what happened once she left the hospital.
After ten minutes, she remembered the golden light moving to Kaze, and her eyes trembled below her eyelids.
