Ch 50: Princess Styrian
Sitian’s world was pitch black. After casting her last spell, the side effect of losing inspiration set in,
coupled with the curse she had placed on herself, her hearing, sight, smell, and spiritual sense were all lost.
Sitian didn’t know how Xia Jiuyuan was doing now. It was a shame she couldn’t fulfill his wish to help him deal with that Minotaur.
Sitian’s spiritual energy was depleted, and the scorpion venom spreading across half her body tormented her will, hindering the recovery of her wounds and spiritual energy.
This prevented her from even opening her spatial artifact to retrieve the communication stone and pills!
She was forced to deactivate Sacred Separation, then used blindness to scan the second battlefield,
perhaps the enemy would be scared shitless and flee at the sight of this.
Sitian thought to herself, then calmly accepted fate’s final judgment.
Until Xia Jiuyuan cupped her wrist, and the pitch black world rippled slightly,
Sitian instinctively wanted to release Repulsion Aura, but her dried-up spiritual energy wouldn’t allow it.
She immediately realized that if it were an enemy, she would be dead by now.
Xia Yuan! He was alive! He had actually won!
Thinking of this, Princess Sitian’s tense body relaxed.
As soon as Xia Jiuyuan felt Sitian’s faint pulse, he saw her collapse. He quickly caught the weak Sitian, then shouted to Jun Liuhe beside him:
“He He, quickly save her!”
Jun Liuhe glanced at the princess of the kingdom, then reached out and channeled Life Force to her from a distance.
“Oh right He He, using Life Force like this has no side effects for you, right?”
“No.”
Jun Liuhe suddenly frowned. She reached out and lifted Sitian’s shirt.
“Hiss—”
Xia Jiuyuan’s eyes widened. He saw a ferocious, purple wound on Sitian’s waist.
The wound spread purple patterns around it, with faint gray traces attached to the purple patterns.
The two intertwined and erased each other.
“Cough…”
Sitian’s pale face was flushed. She could feel someone lifting her clothes.
Without a doubt, it must be that Xia Yuan!
Of course, she also knew that Xia Yuan was probably checking her injuries.
This potent Life Force was peculiar, quickly healing her wounds, but it was still helpless against the scorpion venom.
She opened her mouth to explain:
“I have lost my hearing, sight, smell, and spiritual sense now.”
Princess Sitian said, while tidying her lifted clothes,
“I was poisoned by scorpion venom, but don’t worry, it won’t spread now and won’t take my life, but it will restrict the recovery of my wounds and spiritual energy.”
She added in her heart, although it wouldn’t kill her directly, it was still very difficult to cure. This was the terrifying aspect of the Eternal Edict.
As pure Life Force flowed in, Sitian’s injuries began to slowly recover, and her sense of touch became more sensitive.
Lying in Xia Yuan’s embrace, Sitian’s pale cheeks, ravaged by toxins, showed some color.
She was a princess of the kingdom, an unparalleled genius. In the entire Western Territory, only her Brother Carlo and her Personal Maid Helian could compare to her.
How could the proud princess allow a man to touch her!
She was truly not behaving herself right now!
Xia Jiuyuan was relieved to see the princess’s complexion improve.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy erupted within him. The rock-solid Rank Barrier shattered, and the System’s voice echoed,
『Congratulations to the Host for completing the task 『Destined Encounter』. Third Rank has been unlocked. Congratulations to the Host, you can now break through to Third Rank!』
?
I haven’t done anything, how did I succeed in gaining the friendship of this Princess?
Immediately, the System’s voice sounded again,
Ding! System task updated!
『
Blue Task,
『Seek True Self』
Help Princess Sitian resolve her doubts.
』
Wow, Princess Sitian has refreshed her tasks again, and it’s a Blue Task!
Just as Xia Jiuyuan was thinking, his strength suddenly dropped rapidly, and a cracking sound came from within him.
“It’s been resolved.”
Zhan reclaimed His power, and Xia Jiuyuan was returned to his original state.
He felt that his Second Rank self was nowhere near as strong as Second Rank plus Zhan’s power.
Jun Liuhe had been observing Xia Jiuyuan since just now. She was curious about the fluctuations in his strength.
“Heh, I broke through.”
“Mhm.”
Facing Jun Liuhe’s faint response, Xia Jiuyuan realized,
He He was already Fourth Rank…
Jun Liuhe placed her hand on Xia Jiuyuan’s heart to sense something, then shook her head:
“The power of Zhan, if you can avoid using it, don’t use it.”
“Are there any side effects?”
“No,”
Jun Liuhe’s emerald eyes swept over Xia Jiuyuan’s entire body and explained:
“I didn’t sense any side effects. After He lent you His power, you didn’t even feel basic fatigue.
Do you really believe there’s no Price?”
“Alright, I’ll try to use it less. Give me another Spirit Restoration Pill.”
Xia Jiuyuan pointed to Princess Sitian in his arms.
Jun Liuhe took out a pill from her bracelet and placed it by Sitian’s lips.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then opened her mouth and swallowed the pill at her lips.
“Thank you… but the effect of this toxin is too terrifying. It snatched away most of the medicinal power of this Spirit Restoration Pill…”
Sitian struggled to stand up slowly from Xia Jiuyuan’s embrace.
“Thank you, my injuries are basically under control. I didn’t expect you to have such pure Life Force.
However, with the scorpion venom present, it’s better not to waste more.”
Xia Jiuyuan released Sitian. She waved her hands around, looking a bit flustered.
“I—”
Seeing this, Xia Jiuyuan offered his sleeve to Princess Sitian, and she clutched it tightly as if she had grabbed a lifeline.
“I can’t see right now…”
Xia Jiuyuan initially wanted to comfort her a few words, but considering she couldn’t hear either, he decided against it.
This princess, though she looked imposing, was actually quite cute…
If the nobles of the Western Territory heard Xia Jiuyuan’s thoughts, they would be greatly surprised.
You mean that willful, arrogant, sadist of destruction is cute?
“Xia Yuan—”
“Grandma Lisa!”
Grandma Lisa ran towards Xia Jiuyuan from a distance. She looked at the flattened surroundings and said tremblingly,
“Xia Yuan, where are Dean and Na’er?”
“Grandma Lisa, you don’t need to be afraid. The bad guys have been repelled. Dean went to pursue the fleeing enemies.”
As he spoke, Xia Jiuyuan adjusted his body to block Sitian, who was clutching his sleeve.
He shouldn’t rashly leak news about the princess of the kingdom being attacked.
“As for Na’er, she’s in that direction. Grandma Lisa, can you help me bring her here?”
Xia Jiuyuan first pointed to the third battlefield, then pointed behind him and said:
“I have an injured person here who needs care.”
Grandma Lisa couldn’t see the front of the figure behind Xia Jiuyuan. She just felt that this figure was somewhat familiar.
“Okay, it’s good that you’re alright… Sigh, Dean and Na’er have accompanied me for a year. It’s fake to say I’m not concerned, but it’s a pity I don’t have any power to help you.”
She sighed and walked towards the third battlefield, while Xia Jiuyuan looked at Sitian.
Dean is indeed Sitian. With another incident like this, what about the current Plan?
