Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

He smiled.

Pretend you didn't notice.

Upon hearing this, she looked over innocently and said defiantly.

"Princess."

"What you're saying makes no sense."

"Although I didn't do the work, I certainly used my brain. I may not have done anything outstanding, but I certainly put in the effort. When we return to the capital, the eldest princess should put in a good word for me with Her Majesty the Empress."

Ji Lanxue: "..."

That’s a nice thought!

That wretched brat.

last night.

She received a wisp of power from the boy.

Being able to leave him for a short period of time.

Her Highness believed this was her chance.

So, in the dead of night, he immediately began to search for the dragon vein's aura, hoping to find its location and complete his plan.

But it turns out!

We've only walked less than a mile.

The power left behind by the boy began to be consumed rapidly.

At this rate of energy depletion, if she dares to continue going further out, she will surely exhaust her strength in no time.

By the time.

There won't even be a chance to return to the boy's side.

at this time.

Her Highness then realized: this brat wasn't letting her move freely at all; she had clearly placed restrictions on her in secret!

The farther the distance, the faster the energy is consumed.

This prevents her from going too far!

This is not.

Even though Ji Lanxue returned immediately, by the time she arrived in front of the boy, her power was almost completely exhausted.

If only she were even a fraction more stubborn.

Nobody knows how it will develop.

hateful.

This little devil.

It's on purpose!

Take a deep breath.

Despite her anger, Ji Lanxue's greatest strengths are her ability to remain calm and always know what she truly wants.

to this end.

Patience, scheming, and plundering.

She doesn't care about any means necessary.

and so--

Her Highness suppressed her displeasure.

He smiled and said.

"Xiao Qing, I was just kidding."

"You deserve much credit for Yunzhou City's safe passage through this crisis. Xin'er surely understands that too."

"However... isn't it time to completely purify the dark currents within me?"

There was a pause.

She narrowed her beautiful dark gold eyes and said softly.

"Or."

"Does Xiaoqing want something else from me?"

Tell me about it.

The first rule of negotiation: Even if you are in a weaker position, try to project a strong image.

otherwise.

They'll just keep being led by the nose.

Su Qing raised his eyebrows.

She exclaimed "Ah!"

He looked on with a look of sudden realization.

Ji Lanxue: "..."

What's the meaning.

Could this kid be trying to say that he forgot?

"I almost forgot about that."

The boy clapped his hands.

He gave an innocent look.

Her Highness remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, continuing with a smile, he said...

"Xiaoqing, is now okay?"

Ah.

What I forgot.

Did you think she would believe it?

They're just using this as an excuse to find more leverage for themselves.

That's it.

Give him this chance.

Wait for it to recover on its own.

That wretched brat will definitely pay the price!

"sure."

"come in."

Su Qing opened the door and let the Holy Maiden in, speaking calmly.

"Please close the door."

what?

Ok?

What's the meaning.

Ji Lanxue was stunned.

The person was a little confused.

that's all?

He didn't make any more requests?

No.

This doesn't suit the kid's personality.

He definitely has some other trick up his sleeve.

Ji Lanxue closed the door.

But I became increasingly wary.

They were secretly watching the boy's every move.

In any case, we cannot let our guard down.

I already learned my lesson the hard way last time.

Same place.

She absolutely will not allow herself to fall twice!

"Extend your hand."

Ok?

Is it some kind of control magic?

No problem.

She is protected by primordial power.

Even if one is forced to receive this spell, one can later remove it through their own abilities.

Her Highness extended her hand to Su Qing.

Then——

Then she saw the boy grab her wrist.

I closed my eyes briefly.

When he opened his eyes again, a flash of lightning appeared in them.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning shot straight into the boy's burning fingertip.

Under Ji Lanxue's perception, it smoothly arrived at her lower abdomen.

Followed by.

A warm sensation in my lower abdomen.

It was as if it had been struck by some powerful force.

"Uh-huh!"

She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The force of that blow sent him staggering back a step.

"What are you doing? I...wait?"

I was about to make a couple of accusations.

But soon.

Ji Lanxue was stunned.

The black current that had been bothering him for several days suddenly disappeared from his body just now!

No.

It's that simple?

She still didn't believe it.

It then scanned several more times using its primal power.
