Si Huang was reminded of a sulky child when she heard its tone in the last part of its sentence. She sniggered. The danger in her eyes disappeared too. However, she was determined to power up.
Once Si Huang made a decision, no one could stand in her way. Wu Bao was well aware of this. After a fruitless round of persuading, it gave up and went along with Si Huang's wishes.
Before the power-up, Wu Bao reminded Si Huang, "Your first power-up sets up your foundation, Your Highness, so it's very important. You must hold on for as long as you can… Even if it hurts." Wu Bao had no idea how painful it would be. It had never experienced it itself, so it had no way of understanding how painful it would get.
Si Huang was amused by the way Wu Bao continuously called her "Your Highness" in its naive little voice. She did not discourage its thirst for knowledge either. Wu Bao kept imitating anything related to Si Huang online after being introduced to the wonders of the internet.
