My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"What's wrong?"

The eldest princess noticed Tang Ningshuang's expression and immediately looked surprised: "His rank... has it really gone up?!"

As they were talking, the eldest princess stepped forward and put her hand on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder.

As the internal energy slowly penetrated into Jiang Xiaobai's body.

Soon, the eldest princess exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, peak sixth rank?"

"Ah, sixth rank?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face showed a hint of disappointment: "Only sixth rank?!"

"..."

Tang Ningshuang stood to the side, looking at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief.

Listen to this! Is this even human language?!

What does it mean to only be a sixth-rank official?

She practiced martial arts from a young age, getting up early every day to practice her sword, and never slacked off, even in the freezing cold.

Even with such diligent cultivation, I have only barely reached the fourth rank!

What about Jiang Xiaobai?

This guy... he was a top-tier player before!!

He disappeared for two days and came back as a sixth-rank official!

Not only did he advance five ranks in a row, but Jiang Xiaobai also seemed rather dissatisfied?

Who can I complain to about this?!

For a moment, Tang Ningshuang held the sword, her chest heaving slightly, before finally turning her head away to look elsewhere.

It can't be compared!

Because the more you compare, the more unbalanced you feel!

The eldest princess stared at Jiang Xiaobai in shock: "So, the Old Man of Withered Bones... transferred his power to you?"

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "He gave me 80% of his power, but from what he said, I only incorporated 60%!"

"What?! He actually transferred his powers to you?!"

The eldest princess's eyes widened slightly.

The old man with withered bones had an eccentric personality. He had lived in the Hidden Peak Sect for many years, but he hardly interacted with anyone.

If someone accidentally trespasses on his property, at best they'll lose a finger, at worst they might not even come out alive.

In her opinion, Jiang Xiaobai's return unharmed was already a great relief.

did not expect……

Not only did the old man with withered bones not harm Jiang Xiaobai, but he also transferred eighty percent of his power to him.

How did this guy do that?!

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

After releasing her grip, the princess couldn't help but ask, "Old man of withered bones, why did you transfer your power to me?"

"Oh, he lost to me!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Then, Jiang Xiaobai briefly recounted the events.

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's mouth gaped slightly, and she remained speechless for a long time.

Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai again, her expression quite interesting.

He won by 80% thanks to the chess game.

Is there anything in this world easier than this?!

"So, for the past two days, you've been absorbing the old man's internal energy?"

After the princess came to her senses, a look of realization flashed across her face.

That's right, she also visited the place where the old man with the withered bones lived these past two days.

But as soon as she arrived at the small courtyard, the old man with withered bones used his internal energy to stop her and make her leave.

At the time, she didn't think much of it. After all, if Jiang Xiaobai were inside, he should at least call out twice when he heard her voice.

But there was no sound from inside.

That's why she thought Jiang Xiaobai wasn't there, so she didn't force her way in.

In retrospect, Jiang Xiaobai was still in a coma at that time.

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded gently.

"You're incredibly lucky!"

The eldest princess sized up Jiang Xiaobai for a moment, then smiled and said, "As far as I know, you're the first person who could make the Old Man of Withered Bones willingly transfer his power to you!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and nodded.

Regardless, at the sixth rank, he's practically a master, right?

If he encounters any danger in the future, with the Desert Eagle on his body, he won't have to hide behind Tang Ningshuang and the Princess anymore.

"but……"

The princess paused, then placed her hand back on Jiang Xiaobai's body, carefully sensing his internal energy for a moment before saying, "This internal energy ultimately belongs to someone else!"

"Although you've absorbed 60%, it's currently just stored within your body and hasn't been fully made your own!"

"Next, you need to properly regulate your breathing; otherwise, having too much internal energy might not be a good thing for you!"

"Then how do I regulate my breathing?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's expression became serious.

If anything goes wrong with the sixth-grade internal energy that I finally obtained, I'll lose a lot.

"this……"

The princess's lips moved, but for a moment she didn't know how to explain.

After all, Jiang Xiaobai knows very little about martial arts.

Even if she said it, Jiang Xiaobai probably wouldn't understand.

"Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "You've just woken up, get some rest for the night!"

"good!"

Seeing the princess's response, Jiang Xiaobai did not press the matter further.

Seeing Tang Ningshuang and the Princess enter the room opposite, Jiang Xiaobai also randomly chose a place to stay.

However, this time after opening the door, he didn't rush in, but instead took a walk around inside first.

Make sure the room is not connected to any corridor.

After seeing that there was no lake behind him and no women bathing, Jiang Xiaobai finally felt completely relieved.

Surely nothing else will go wrong tonight?

After closing the door, Jiang Xiaobai went to the bed and lay down.

Although I have been unconscious for the past two days, my body has absorbed a lot of internal energy, and I am still somewhat mentally exhausted.

So, not long after lying down, Jiang Xiaobai fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later.

The tightly closed door was quietly pushed open.

The eldest princess, barefoot, tiptoed in from outside.

After arriving at the bedside, the princess glanced down at Jiang Xiaobai, then raised her hand and slapped him across the neck.

But just as his hand was halfway down, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the princess's wrist.

"Hello!"

Jiang Xiaobai sat up in surprise, glaring at the princess and asking, "What are you planning to do so late at night?"

"what?"

The princess was surprised, looking down at her wrist that was being held, and said, "I almost forgot, you're already a sixth-rank official!"

"In terms of perception, it's definitely much better than before!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback and said, "So you..."

"oh!"

Before Jiang Xiaobai could finish speaking, the princess said with a smile, "I noticed you weren't sleeping well, so I came to massage your shoulders!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the princess's wrist trembled slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai grabbed her hand and instantly pulled away.

The next moment, the princess struck Jiang Xiaobai on the neck with her palm.

boom!

Jiang Xiaobai sprang up suddenly, straightening his legs instantly, and then closed his eyes.

"You talk too much!"

The eldest princess glared at Jiang Xiaobai, annoyed: "I was trying to help you, and you keep asking me questions!"

"That's really asking for a beating!!"

After saying that, the princess pulled Jiang Xiaobai up with one hand and made him sit cross-legged on the bed.

Then the princess came to Jiang Xiaobai, raised her jade hand, and pressed it directly onto his abdomen.

hum!

As his inner energy surged, the candlelight in the room began to flicker violently.

The princess closed her eyes and guided her inner energy into Jiang Xiaobai's body, attempting to help him completely untangle the power of the withered bone old man.

At first, everything went relatively smoothly.

But not long after, the two yin-yang vortexes within Jiang Xiaobai's body suddenly began to spin faster.

The princess's arm trembled slightly, and her expression changed accordingly.

These two forces were even more astonishing than when she had investigated during the day.

Right now, she alone can't possibly suppress it!

"Senior Sister!"

The princess gritted her teeth, looked up at the window, and cried out, "Come quickly and help me!"

Not long after he finished speaking, a white figure appeared in the room.

Chu Qingci glanced at the unconscious Jiang Xiaobai, sighed softly, and then sat down cross-legged on the bed.

When Chu Qingci's hand landed on Jiang Xiaobai, her expression remained relatively calm.

But as his internal energy penetrated, his brows gradually furrowed.

A moment later, Chu Qingci opened her eyes, her expression changing: "His internal energy...something's not right!"
