Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The witch doctor had just finished treating Wu Lingduo and silently packed his things to leave.

As he left, he glanced back at Wu Lingduo and said, "Holy Maiden, your most urgent task is to focus on healing your injuries. Once you're healed and return to the Southern Barbarian Lands, you can be baptized with holy water and perhaps cultivate a new natal Gu."

In the Southern Barbarian lands, only those who possess their own natal Gu (a powerful magical insect) can earn a respected status.

The stronger one's natal Gu, the better one's talent, and thus the more powerful one becomes.

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingduo's eyes revealed a ruthless glint. "I will definitely recover and possess an even more powerful natal Gu."

She will definitely get her hands on the Golden Snake Gu of Wu Ling Gu.

……

"None of these envoys are honest," Ying Yufu said sarcastically on the way out of the palace.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, but the streets of the imperial city were already bustling with activity.

The Crown Prince said, "Their methods seem simple, but they are extremely easy to succeed. If it weren't for your divine artifact, we wouldn't be able to foresee many things, and we would be outmaneuvered at least half the time."

Ying Yufu nodded in agreement; Xiao Dian was truly her precious darling.

In the system space, Xiao Dian was very proud.

Of course, host, I'm your precious darling!

As soon as he finished speaking, the system's mechanical voice rang out, "[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully slapped them in the face, exposing the two fake Taoists and making them pay.]" *Sizzle—sizzle—*

The system rewards 100 points. *Buzz* — Host's original points: 19870 points. *Buzz* — *Buzz* — Current balance: ... *Buzz* — 19970 points. *Buzz* —

The system buzzed again.

[Host, I'm so dizzy, I... *sizzle*]

[Little Madman!]

Ying Yufu's face showed great fear. What's wrong with Xiao Dian today?

What exactly is wrong with the system?

She didn't notice that the Crown Prince's expression was also extremely solemn.

Ying Yufu disregarded the Crown Prince and completely entered the system space.

The scantily clad girl floated in mid-air, but her human form quickly dissipated, turning into a ball of white light.

【Xiao Dian!】 Ying Yufu’s voice was almost choked with sobs; she had never seen Xiao Dian like this before.

Ying Yufu's consciousness stepped forward, reaching out to hug the ball of light, but she dared not touch it, and for a moment she was frozen in place, only able to keep calling out to it.

But this time, Xiao Dian didn't respond to her at all.

Ying Yufu panicked.

She had gotten used to Xiao Dian's presence.

She is somewhat dependent on Xiao Dian.

At the same time, after spending so much time together, she had already come to regard Xiao Dian as part of her family.

Whether from a financial or emotional perspective, she didn't want to lose Xiao Dian.

The white orb of light then flew over on its own and touched Ying Yufu's consciousness, but it only touched her consciousness and did not respond with any sound.

Ying Yufu's consciousness did not leave; she kept staring at the white orb of light.

In reality, the Crown Prince saw Ying Yufu, who had just been sitting, suddenly sway and appear to faint.

He reached out and supported her body, and heard her calling out "Xiao Dian" repeatedly.

Just as the prince's face showed worry, a deafening rumble of thunder sounded outside.

"Oh, it's thundering! Why is it thundering!"

"Purple lightning!"

"No, it's clearly black lightning!"

Hearing the terrified screams of the palace servants outside, the Crown Prince was startled. Unsure if this was related to Xiao Dian, he reached out with his other hand to lift the carriage curtain, wanting to see what was happening outside.

As soon as he opened it, a ball of dark purple lightning shot towards him, striking straight into his brow.

The prince's eyes suddenly narrowed, becoming blank and lifeless.

He maintained the posture of supporting Ying Yufu, as if he had become a wooden figure, completely still.

Time stood still at this moment.

[Target detected. Tianlong System is at your service. Please select whether to bind to the system.]

A deep, resonant voice echoed in the prince's mind.

At the same time, two golden words flashed in the prince's mind: Yes/No.

What is the Tianlong System?

Having witnessed Xiao Dian's experience firsthand, he was no stranger to the system's appearance. He was only slightly surprised for a moment before asking a question.

The Heavenly Dragon System is the highest-level Dragon Overlord System. As long as you choose to bind with it, the Heavenly Dragon System will help the host achieve the goal of unifying the four seas and becoming the overlord of the world. Furthermore, every time the host achieves a great feat, subdues a subordinate, or adds a concubine, he will gain combat power and increase his lifespan.

As long as the host continues to expand their territory, they can have an infinite lifespan.

The Tianlong System can help the host achieve a lifespan that matches the size of your country!

The Crown Prince was filled with turmoil.

There's actually such a system?

He couldn't help but ask: "So what will you get in return?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If the Tianlong System helps him, what will it get in return?

The Heavenly Dragon System stated: [Merit points: By helping the host achieve their goals, the system will receive merit points.]

The crown prince showed neither excitement nor enthusiasm for this sudden encounter. After a moment of silence, he said, "No."

No? Do you reject this system?

The Tianlong system has no channel.

"Yes, I refuse," the Crown Prince said calmly.

The Heavenly Dragon System couldn't help but say, "Do you know what kind of opportunity you've rejected? This Heavenly Dragon System can help you achieve a lifetime of great accomplishments, unprecedented and unparalleled, and even grant you a long lifespan. No man could resist such a temptation."

The Crown Prince said, "I could have obtained all of these things without you."

[Huh? You're not counting on that little guy over there, are you? That little guy is quite something, but he's that little girl's system.]

Are you expecting that little girl to accumulate points to buy the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to save you?

The Crown Prince said, "What's it to you?"

The Heavenly Dragon System was enraged: [If you refuse this system, it will bind itself to someone else, causing that person to achieve great things. Then, everything you have will belong to someone else, even this little girl beside you will become someone else's.]

The crown prince's face turned cold.

【How about it? This Tianlong system is giving you another chance. Do you want to bind it?】

【no. 】

Tianlong System: [...]

It had never been so speechless.

Everyone who encountered it was filled with excitement and joy, except for this person, who repeatedly rejected it.

But the more this is the case, the more it wants to know, "Why? Why exactly?"

[Because your name sounds unreliable, and besides, you even asked me to build a harem, it's ridiculous.]

The crown prince despised it.

Tianlong System: [...]

I'm impressed! I'm really impressed!

[This system is giving me one last chance. Do you want to bind it?]

The Crown Prince firmly replied: "No!"

Tianlong System: [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to the Tianlong System. Tianlong System Xiao Tian is at your service!]

Crown Prince: [?]

"Hehe, how about it, host? From today onwards, we're one." The Heavenly Dragon System was quite pleased with itself.

"Don't you think you're like a piece of chewing gum?" The prince's face was ashen.

[Say what you want! Ding! System task triggered. Host, please use your charm to win the heart of the beautiful woman outside!]

Just then, a girl's voice rang out from outside.

"Is this how you Northern Xuan treat your guests? My horse got spooked, and none of you stopped it!"

On the official road outside the palace gate, Su Jinxiang, dressed in green and covered in dust, with her hairpins and ornaments disheveled and crooked, was lying on the ground, being helped up by two maids.

The government officials and soldiers cleared the road and brought the frightened horse under control.

The lightning was terrifying; it startled not only people but also Su Jinjin's horse, which was traveling outside, and even startled the carriage.

The horse galloped around most of the imperial city, reaching a nearby official road where it threw Su Jinxiang off.

Fortunately, although he was in a sorry state, he didn't seem to be injured; at least he was still full of energy when he was cursing.

The Crown Prince did not change his stance of supporting Ying Yufu. He slightly raised his eyes, looked out of the carriage curtain, and a mocking sneer appeared on his lips.

[The Heavenly Dragon System, is this what you call achieving hegemony?]

The Heavenly Dragon System, hearing the contempt in his words, protested, "[Host, your harem is also a crucial part of your path to dominance. Su Jinxiang is a princess of the Eastern Chen Kingdom, and the Su family wields immense power. Winning her heart will secure the Su family's support, greatly benefiting your path to supremacy.]"

The Crown Prince snorted coldly, helped Ying Yufu to her feet, and then turned around to lift the carriage curtain.

"Great, host, you've finally figured out the stakes." The Heavenly Dragon System exclaimed with satisfaction.

Su Jinxiang was helped up by her maid and was angrily rebuking the officials and soldiers of Beixuan Prefecture.

Are all the officers and soldiers of Beixuan useless?

My horse was startled for so long, didn't any of you see it?

"You only care about appeasing your people of Beixuan. They are nothing but worthless lives. Do you think they deserve for you to abandon me, the princess, for their sake?"

The officials and soldiers in the government office had grim expressions and methodically cleaned up the mess.

The leading officer said coldly, "Princess Jinxiang, your horse wasn't startled at first. It was because you kept screaming and whipping your horse that it got frightened."

Moreover, this happened in a busy city center. You disregarded the safety of the people of Beixuan, recklessly urging your horse to gallop, nearly trampling them. Before Beixuan could even hold you accountable, you've already turned around and accused me.

Su Jinxiang snorted coldly: "You're just trying to avoid explaining yourself to me. It's only natural that I was startled by the thunder and my horse sputtered."

On the contrary, you all completely disregarded me and Dongchen.

The government officials glared angrily at Su Jinxiang. "Princess Jinxiang, this is not your Dongchen. Two of our brothers were injured by your horse while trying to save people. I, Beixuan, will not let this matter go so easily."

Sure enough, two of the government officials' soldiers were injured and were being carried onto stretchers.

Su Jinxiang glanced at them disdainfully and said, "Just two low-ranking soldiers. Do you think you, Bei Xuan, can extort this princess?"

"That's right, our princess fell to the ground. She has never suffered such an injustice before."

"You Northern Xuan people are just uncivilized people, you don't understand the difference between superiors and inferiors at all."

"We, the Northern Xuan, are barbaric, so who are you, the Eastern Chen?" A cold voice came, and the carriage next to them opened, and the Crown Prince stepped out.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince, the officials and soldiers of the government office immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince raised his hand, "No need for formalities."

Su Jinxiang looked up at the Crown Prince and sneered, "My Dongchen is the leader of the four kingdoms, with an ancient heritage, and is a true member of the imperial family."

Su Jinxiang considers himself a superior person.

The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes and said to the government official, "Make this noble Princess Dongchen kneel down and apologize to the people of Beixuan. If she refuses, then kill her horse and make General Pei of Dongchen come out to apologize in person."

Several government officials and soldiers' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

[Host, are you crazy? I told you to use your charm to make this princess fall for you, not to offend her!]

The Tianlong system loudly alerted me.

The crown prince chuckled and asked, "Are you the Heavenly Dragon System or the Lackey System?"

[Host, how dare you call this system a lackey?]

The Crown Prince ignored it completely, his cold eyes fixed on Su Jinxiang.

Su Jinxiang stared wide-eyed at the Crown Prince in disbelief. "Crown Prince of Beixuan, you actually want me, a princess, to apologize to these lowly commoners of Beixuan?"

"Slap yourself for calling people 'lowly' so often!"

The crown prince's expression turned cold.

The leading government official was ruthless. He had long disliked this princess of Dongchen Kingdom, and immediately stepped forward and slapped Su Jinxiang across the face.

Su Jinxiang covered her burning face and heard the cheers and applause of the people of Beixuan around her.

Her eyes reddened, and tears instantly welled up in them.

"This princess is going back to file a complaint, to accuse you of lawlessness and humiliation of an envoy..."

"In my Northern Xuan territory, you dare to insult my Northern Xuan people? Do you believe I can make sure you, a princess of Eastern Chen, cannot leave my Northern Xuan alive?"

Su Jinxiang stared at the Crown Prince in horror.

The Crown Prince of Beixuan looked at her with eyes that seemed to be filled with knives; it was as if he wanted to kill her.

Su Jinxiang couldn't help but lower her head, not daring to meet the Crown Prince's gaze.

But she also felt ashamed, and defiantly raised her head, saying, "You are still a descendant of Princess Dongchen, and your mother and my mother are sisters. How could you treat me like this?"

"Who said my mother and your mother are sisters? Do you Dongchen people like to randomly claim kinship? Apologize to the people of Beixuan right now, or else—"

Su Jinxiang was extremely unwilling, so she closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

Then the Crown Prince coldly said, "Slaughter her horse and go invite General Pei over!"

The crown prince had a frosty expression and a very bad temper.

The Third Prince, who had caught up later, stopped his carriage and, seeing the Crown Prince's frightened expression, couldn't help but shrink back.

He rarely saw the crown prince get angry.

However, if the Crown Prince is truly angered, it is no laughing matter.

Just as Su Jinxiang was about to feign fainting, she suddenly opened her eyes and screamed, "I apologize!"

Because of the White Tiger incident last time, her uncle was already dissatisfied with her. She had caused Dongchen a lot of trouble. If she caused trouble again this time, she couldn't imagine how her uncle would treat her.

Su Jinxiang endured the humiliation and looked at the people of Beixuan around her, saying, "I'm sorry, this princess shouldn't have startled my horse in the middle of the city and almost hurt you."

The people of Beixuan smiled with delight.

They looked in the direction of the Crown Prince, bowed down, and called out, "Long live the Crown Prince!"

"They were injured because of you, so you should do something in return." The Crown Prince looked at the two wounded government officials who were being carried away for treatment.

Su Jinxiang pulled out a purse from her waist and took out two gold ingots. "This is my compensation."

The head of the government officials and soldiers looked at the Crown Prince.

The prince nodded slightly. "Why not take the money?"

Immediately, the leading government official took the two ingots of gold and said with admiration, "Your Highness, I will certainly deliver these two ingots of gold to Li Da and Niu Dafei."

The crown prince nodded.

Su Jinxiang covered her face and, supported by two maids, stumbled and ran away crying.

[Host has failed in his mission and lost Princess Jinxiang's heart.]

However, the host unexpectedly gained popular support, and the system rewarded him with one point and an additional day of lifespan.

The voice of the Tianlong system was weak and listless.

[Host, do you know what you missed? If you had completed the mission, you would have received 100 points, which would have added 100 days to your lifespan.]

"I don't care," the crown prince replied coldly, then turned and got into his carriage.

Seeing that Ying Yufu had not yet woken up, he stepped forward and carefully placed her on his body.

The Heavenly Dragon System immediately attacked him, saying: [Host, you just called me a sycophant, so look at yourself now, what do you look like?]
