Reject me, you damn woman.

I posted this because I saw someone in the thread always suggested that I should post a bounty. I hope some kind brother can pay attention to me, otherwise it will be embarrassing...

Then follow the standard template, 2000 words count as one update:

100 monthly tickets plus one more chapter,

1000 recommendation votes count as one update.

10000 rewards count as one update,

100 blades count as one change,

Silver treasure chest counts as 5 updates,

30 more gold treasure chests (actually there won't be 100 more, but I was afraid of surprise)

The upper limit is... five updates first! The calculation of the treasure chest is excluded!

Isn’t that super much?!

Just kidding... Mainly because I'm a young author and I don't have much confidence in my own abilities, and this is the first time I've offered a bounty since I started writing a book. I'm afraid that after offering the bounty, I won't be able to pay back an update, or that I'll lose my credibility.

For the author, credit is still a valuable asset. If the effect is good, I will consider it again in the future.

A small author, even the reward he offers is small...

I...I will try my best to serve you all? As for the bounty, please~

Chapter 119: Hesitation does not necessarily mean defeat, but it may also lead to defeat (5k)

Naturally, the empress ignored her daughter's eyes that were giving her crazy hints.

Of course, this wasn't because she had no idea what was happening to Lynn.

The Empress and Quinn are different.

Silver Dragon Princess Quinn is a genius who is born superior to all living beings.

She was born with everything that ordinary people have: power, wealth, and authority are all at her fingertips.

She had never participated in the holy test to purify her dragon blood, because even if she didn't have to participate in that thing, she was already the pinnacle of mortals with the protection of a high-purity silver dragon.

But the empress was different. From the day she made her debut in the court, she appeared in front of everyone as invincible and powerful.

But whether she was rising from an unfavored illegitimate princess to an empress, or from a mediocre red dragon blessed by dragon blood to a bloody red dragon that passed seven holy tests and was recognized by five previous kings, the empress took each step steadily.

Although it sounds ridiculous, in fact, Tiwila Norton is a hard-working genius.

Therefore, it’s not that she didn’t sense what was happening, but having grown from weak to strong, she should have understood the terrible changes in Lynn better than Quinn.

But the terrifying part is this, because the empress discovered that the changes that happened to Lin En seemed completely different from those that happened to her and her.

It's not like Quinn, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; it's not like me, who has to take one step at a time.

The change that happened to Lin En should be the third kind, that unreasonable feeling of sublimation, as if... a mortal in a myth suddenly turned into a hero.

This sudden change made the empress feel even more unexplainable. Of course, this is a very high-level explanation. In short, it is:

I can't help you. I'm not sure about him.

At this time, the beam of light that originally enveloped Lynn had dissipated, revealing the young man inside.

Compared to the head of the Morris family who was sweating profusely as soon as he left the holy test space, Lin En seemed to have not changed at all compared to before entering the holy test.

He had a calm demeanor, slightly raised lips, and dazzling long light golden hair, as if his experience, which was dozens of times more ups and downs than that of the head of the Morris family, had not brought any impact on him.

But this is often the most terrifying thing.

The empress couldn't help but look at the golden figure standing behind Lin En.

The figure, composed entirely of energy and like a god, was standing silently behind Lin En. It was a symbol of the blessing of the heroic spirit.

There are only two most common ways for a heroic spirit to be born, but the first one is extremely demanding, because a hero whose achievements have been recognized by the world will undergo self-sublimation through some special ceremony. Even for the entire Purple Gold Flower, probably only the first generation of His Majesty is qualified. The empress herself cannot do it, because the heroic spirit behind Lin En is obviously a female, so she ruled out this possibility at the first time.

Then there is only the second possibility, which means that a warrior whose achievements are enough to be noticed by the gods, and the guards beside him, recognize the young man in front of him and are willing to share their power with him.

For anyone on the continent, being blessed by a heroic spirit is something to be celebrated, unless it happens to Purple Gold Flower.

Because the Purple Gold Flower Empire is a country with an extremely lack of belief in gods, and the emperors of the Norton family, who have long lives and are powerful, have become god-like existences through generations of citizens.

Even if the people occasionally believe in a certain god, the main reason is probably because they believe that the church will give out eggs today...

The prince of a country that did not believe in gods actually received the blessing of the people who served gods. This made the empress alert.

Because the blessings of the heroic spirits around the gods usually come at a price. For example, the recipient will involuntarily believe in the god, and his words and deeds will also change towards him. It is more like a slow-paced possession of the god's body than a blessing.

Moreover, in the past, the empress had seen heroic spirits and even fought against some of them head-on.

But for some reason, I always feel uncomfortable when I see the heroic spirit behind Lin En.

It's just weird.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, Patriarch Bol trembled and spoke:

"Your Highness Lin En, are you okay?"

"if not?"

Lynn asked back with a smile,

"Is it Uncle Pol's dead father?"

The head of the Bol family's lips trembled, but he did not refute. The empress was indeed relieved.

Still so uncultured, he shouldn't have been possessed...

"I answered Uncle Paul's question. Shouldn't Uncle Paul also answer mine?"

Lin En slowly walked down from the center of the stage, came to the side of the head of the Bol family, and slowly put away his smile.

"You interrupted my blessing ceremony, shouldn't you compensate me?"

The head of the Bol family was sweating profusely:

"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation..."

"What? Are you willing to donate the other half of the Boll family's fiefdom?"

Lin En showed a shocked expression, walked forward, and shook the hand of the head of the Bol family heavily, his eyes full of relief and appreciation:

"I didn't expect Uncle Boer to be such a righteous man. It seems that I have wronged you!"

“I, I…”

The head of the Bol family was really in tears now.

But even if he lost the other half of the fiefdom, he at least had a chance of survival. If he revealed who ordered him to do so, he might not survive the night.

Therefore, the head of the Bol family could only take the initiative to "donate" the other half of his own reserved land as a gift to celebrate Lynn's victory over his ally...

After dealing with the head of the Bol family, Lin En finally had the leisure to glance at the banquet scene.

Then, he couldn't help but frowned:

"What are you guys looking at me for? And why did the music stop?"

The musicians on the stage looked at each other.

Just now, Lynn and Patriarch Morris started the noble holy test.

The two people above are fighting each other in the holy test, and the dance band below is playing "Sleepless Tonight". This is not a good idea.

As for why the music was not played after the holy trial was over, it was purely because no one gave the order and the band conductor didn't know whether to continue or not, so he had to lead the rest of the band members to keep it on hold for the time being.

Seeing the band conductor asked tentatively: "What does your highness mean?"

Lynn snapped his fingers:

"What's a dance without music? Keep playing music and keep dancing!"

The band conductor looked at the empress subconsciously, but the latter just turned away slightly.

Acquiescence is an attitude.

It is both approval and connivance.

Unconsciously, even the Queen had become a supporting role in this ball, as if everything was just to highlight Lynn's existence.

The band conductor understood instantly.

Suddenly he became excited and swung his arms vigorously. The passionate and uplifting dance music rose up to the sky, directly to the most intense part, which almost lifted the entire ceiling.

The dinner, which had been interrupted by various situations, finally entered the main part. The confused nobles quickly adjusted their state and began to toast each other.

"Is this the present empire? It's really interesting. It's full of things I've never seen before."

Lily's emotional voice rang directly in Lynn's mind.

After the contract was completed, the two were now in a state of possession and being possessed. To put it simply, under normal circumstances, Lily's power would be stored in Lin En's right hand and could be used when needed.

In fact, when Lin En first learned that the ancestor wanted to live in his right hand, he was strongly opposed. However, facing Lily's eyes, which were covered by golden light but extremely pure, Lin En really couldn't tell the reason, so he had to let her go...

"Haha, Miss Lily, you will see more interesting things in the future. I hope they will suit your taste."

"I am sure of that,"

Lily didn't refute and smiled.

"It won't be boring following you little guy."

At this moment, Lily's heart was filled with joy and confidence.

After abandoning her duties as queen, she seemed to have regained some vitality that matched her appearance.

But I always feel like I'm missing something.

But after trying many times and failing to remember, Lily gave up.

Forget it. Anyway, the Holy Test Space can function normally even without me. If I forget it, it means it’s not important!

"Student Lin En!"

Elena and Historia also came over on their own initiative. Elena looked Lin up and down with a subtle and passionate look, and was relieved when she saw that he was not injured.

Historia was much more direct. She stood on tiptoe and patted Lin's shoulder, then put one hand on her waist and nodded with satisfaction:

"Humph, you are quite a capable bastard. This princess has recognized you as my little brother."

The princess' cheeks suddenly turned red as she thought of something, and she explained awkwardly:

"First, let me make it clear first. I'm not concerned about you or think you're good or anything like that. I just think you're not that worthless. Don't get carried away!"

Lin En smiled, looked over her shoulder, and saw Miss Kaya from the Mistry family standing in the distance. She waved at him, and he nodded in response.

The young patriarch of the Mistry family is indeed very reassuring in his grasp of interpersonal distance.

Looking at Lin En's profile, Elena opened her cherry lips slightly and tried to speak several times, but couldn't find the right opportunity.

In the banquet's ballroom, people have gradually started dancing.

As a commoner girl, this was her first time attending a dance. In other words, although she had learned ballroom dancing in Eden's etiquette class, she had never danced with others in a formal occasion.

And she wanted to give her first time to...Lin En.

Before, classmate Lin En had been busy, and Elena was embarrassed to disturb him, but now, could she invite classmate Lin En to dance?

Elena thought about the confession a few days ago and realized that it was indeed a bit impulsive, but it was the first dance, so it was not a big deal. Lin En should accept it.

Thinking of this, Elena plucked up her courage and opened her mouth: "Lin......"

"Excuse me, the Holy Test made me a little hungry. I'll excuse myself for a moment."

"Oh, good!"

Elena changed her words instantly, and Historia waved her hand nonchalantly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to get some snacks, Lin En came to a secluded corner and gently patted the decorative brooch on her chest.

"How are you, Miss Theresa? Are you okay?"

"........."

"Ms. Theresa?"

Lynn was stunned for a moment.
