Long Chen was startled and hurriedly reached out to help Yu Qianxue up. The other guards were also shocked. Yu Qianxue was so powerful, yet she had fainted from anger?
But none of them had the courage of Long Chen to reach out and support Yu Qianxue, not even approaching, only watching from afar.
You have to know, Yu Qianxue is a cleanliness freak, never interacting with anyone, and even getting close to her makes her dislike her.
Long Chen reached out to support Yu Qianxue, pressing a finger to her forehead, frowning:
"My willpower is severely depleted, almost depleted. What exactly is that little black room?"
"That little black room is the most terrifying mental punishment. Inside it, it's isolated from the outside world, with no light or sound, as if time itself is frozen.
In endless darkness, everything seems to stand still—the closest to death. In absolute darkness, people release all their negative emotions. I was punished once, locked up for just one day, but that day felt as long as ten thousand years.
After coming out, I nearly went mad and rested for a long time before regaining my senses. Princess Qianxue had been locked up for three days, but after coming out, her mind was still clear. She was already incredibly strong. A guard said, his face still showing lingering fear, as if unwilling to recall that experience.
"That's right, only those who have experienced it know how terrifying that little black room is. There, it's as if the demons sealed within you are being released, gnawing at your soul."
That sense of hesitation, fear, and helplessness is beyond words. Facing all your weaknesses in the dark room, even the strongest person can break their will. Another powerful guard also said, his eyes filled with fear, clearly already terrified of the little dark room.
Long Chen took out a pill and gave it to Yu Qianxue, while his soul power surged into her brow, helping her calm her mind and nourish her will.
"It's nothing serious. She was just too excited just now. Let her sleep and she'll be fine. You two come to help the princess back and rest." Long Chen said to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, but not only did no one step forward, they even took a step back.
Long Chen was stunned. What was going on? He sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, Yu Qingxuan's eyelids twitched slightly—a sign she was about to wake up. Long Chen seemed to understand something and quickly pushed Yu Qianxue forward.
Everyone gasped in shock—Yu Qianxue had actually been pushed to the ground by Long Chen. They watched helplessly as Yu Qianxue collapsed but didn't dare to help, further confirming Long Chen's suspicions.
Bang!
Yu Qianxue fell to the ground. Long Chen's strength was quite strong, and the ground was smashed into a human-shaped pit.
Just then, Yu Qianxue woke up and got up from the ground. When she looked around, the guards were so frightened they quickly retreated:
"It wasn't us."
Yu Qianxue immediately turned her gaze to Long Chen, her eyes blazing with anger about to burst forth. Long Chen hurriedly said, "
I gave you a pill to condense your nearly collapsing will. Otherwise, your primordial spirit will show signs of collapse, and then you'll be in danger."
I heard you're not very sentimental. To prove your innocence, I saved you and then let you go, showing my respect for you. "
Respect?" You really have some authority. Are you trying to plant me in the fields? Or do you just want to bury me here? Yu Qianxue pointed at the humanoid pit on the ground and roared.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll misunderstand? In a moment of urgency, I went too far, and I apologized.
But no matter what, risking your scolding to save you is better than them standing by and doing nothing. You can't just blame me alone, can you? Long Chen pointed at the group of guards, and their expressions immediately changed.
Yu Qianxue turned her face to look at the guards, her pretty face seeming to have a layer of frost peeling away, and the fury in her eyes seemed ready to ignite them.
"All of you, get back to me!"
The guards hurriedly retreated. At first, they were terrified, but once they turned their faces, they turned into schadenfreude. Princess Qianxue was going to deal with this guy on her own.
"Buzz"
After everyone left, Yu Qianxue drew her longsword and pointed at Long Chen coldly, shouting,
"I've had enough of you. If this keeps up, you'll drive me crazy. Let's settle the outcome in one fight. I won. From now on, everything you have belongs to me, and your people are mine too."
If I lose, everything I have is yours, including my people. Whether you agree or not, just say it plainly. "
Wow, that fiery temper is just like your useless dad. Long Chen is stunned—this is way too tough."
"What's going on? What's going on?" Isn't it just that you lost something? At worst, I'll just compensate you, don't get worked up. Long Chen advised.
"Do you think I'm short on this little money? You've made me so angry. What do you think we should do? Yu Qianxue said angrily.
"I really can't do anything about it. If it doesn't work, just swallow it." Long Chen said helplessly.
"Are you cursing me to die and telling me to die?" Yu Qianxue grew even angrier; flames could be seen above her head. Long Chen's words were just too infuriating.
"That's not what I meant. In this lifetime, you can't just do whatever you want.
So, there's a saying: life can't always be as you wish; everything only seeks half satisfaction.
Some things we need to learn to digest ourselves. Don't you think that's true? Long Chen smiled apologetically.
"You really hate smiling." Seeing Long Chen's playful grin, Yu Qianxue said coldly.
"You look so beautiful when you smile, alright!" Long Chen was speechless. This kid's mind was completely muddled by fire.
"Are you really afraid to lay a hand on me?" Yu Qianxue said coldly.
"Forget it, girl. To be honest, you all are just little brats in front of me.
Don't say your willpower is weak right now—even in a state of complete victory, you still can't withstand three of my moves.
Don't be dissatisfied, and don't even mention what it means for a mule to be led out for a walk. Put it this way: I've killed more people than you've met.
I'm long tired of all this fighting and fighting for fame. I can see your depth at a glance, but you can't sense my danger. What's there to compare to?
Besides, I never play these kinds of dueling games. I only practice killing techniques. When I make a move, it's either you die or I die.
We have neither the grudge of killing our father nor the hatred of taking my wife. To put it bluntly, you'll still be my aunt in the future. Why should I fight you to the death? Long Chen earnestly advised.
Long Chen could tell that although Yu Qianxue wasn't exactly kind-hearted, she wasn't an evil person either. They would be relatives in the future, so there was no need to make things too tense. Long Chen was even planning to use her platform to get closer to Yu Qingxuan.
"If you don't fight honorably, how do you know who's stronger?" You're my sparring partner, so you have the duty to fight alongside me in real battles. I don't believe I can't beat you.
If you don't cooperate, I'll find every way to torment you until you give in. You don't need to guard the medicinal garden anymore—go raise fish for me." Yu Qianxue said coldly.
So Long Chen was transferred from the medicinal garden and sent to the royal fishery. After arranging for Long Chen, Yu Qianxue returned to her own residence. She didn't believe Long Chen would not yield. She prepared to begin healing, but just as she was about to enter meditation, someone suddenly rushed in with a terrified expression, tears in his voice: "
Your Highness, something's wrong! Something terrible has happened. Long Chen... He roasted His Majesty's most beloved rainbow dragonfish! "
What?"
Yu Qianxue was terrified—that was His Majesty's treasure.
