“aren’t you surprised? you’re like a completely different person from when you first entered this place. it’s like you’ve been reborn.”

ji yuying laughed at the side.

her personality seemed to be more lively, which was very different from the image of the imperial princess in bai wushang’s mind.

but it was obvious that bai wushang had not yet recovered from his new appearance.

this was not a change that could be brought about by the increase in soul power. perhaps it had little to do with the spring of life.

it was still the remnants of the evil spirit essence, plus the ” national tourmaline ” that sounded very powerful.

it should be the combination of the two acting on his body. under the collision of all kinds of tempering, it caused a special situation.

bai wushang thought about it and decided that increasing his appearance didn’t increase his strength on the surface.

but it was enough to make one happy.

compared to the past, he was only slightly similar now.

even if mu xiaoxiao was standing in front of him, she would at most find him familiar, but she wouldn’t be able to identify him or confirm his background.

coupled with the large increase in his soul power, he was like a new person.

this feeling was better than ever!

after some thought, bai wushang asked the girl in pink, ”

“excuse me… are you in dragon emperor city? i wonder what happened after i fell unconscious? why did you come here?”

” i don’t have a single clue. i hope your highness can clear up some of my doubts. ”

“didn’t i say that you can call me xiao yu and xiao ying?”

ji yuying wrinkled her cute nose. ” it’s so annoying to listen to ‘your highness’ and ‘your highness’ all day. ”

“anyway, you’re not a member of the palace, and there are no outsiders now. don’t bother with these overly elaborate formalities, i don’t like to hear them!”

“alright, i got it.” bai wushang nodded.

the girl in pink laughed and flicked her chestnut-colored hair behind her ears.

” you were brought back by father personally. the first thing he did was activate the sacred item, the national tourmaline, to help you resolve the evil spirit. ”

” after that, you’ll be arranged to stay in this ‘old dragon hall’. this is one of the core areas of the imperial palace, and your safety is guaranteed. ”

” i’m the only one who occasionally sneaks in to play. other people, even my brothers and sisters, can’t enter and leave this place as they please. ”

‘it seems that this girl is deeply loved by his majesty …’ bai wushang thought and asked, ”

“i wonder how long i’ve been asleep?”

“well, about five months.”

“ha?”

bai wushang was shocked.

although he was mentally prepared, he felt that the treatment this time would not be simple.

however, he did not expect that half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

in that case, a conservative estimate would be that the spring of life could protect him for less than a year.

what should he do?

bai wushang felt a deep sense of urgency and danger.

after waking up, the joy of improving his strength and appearance was immediately cast away.

it was still not enough.

it was far from enough!

with hundreds of thoughts running through his mind, bai wushang temporarily suppressed the worries in his heart and returned to the main topic.

there were still many things that he did not understand.

for example, the lord, the ruler of a dynasty.

why was his majesty the red dragon emperor willing to help him? or personally?

indeed, bai wushang had no way to measure the power of high-level forces, and his knowledge was very one-sided.

however, the evil spirit essence, the pure curse power of the holy angel, wasn’t able to completely wipe it out and was almost killed by it.

the level of power involved would definitely be extremely terrifying, far beyond bai wushang’s imagination.

under such circumstances, what would be the benefit of saving him?

could he have seen through the food god’s altar? you want to make it your own?

no, if that was the case, how could he be lying here and chatting with the princess? the possibility of this was too low.

or was it big brother mu? there was still one more promise that he had not used …

or was it the dean luo chen who had never met but had a good reputation?

they had convinced the red dragon emperor that he was a one-in-a-million genius and that he did not want to die?

this doesn’t make sense either. there are many more outstanding students from the other famous academies, the royal family, and the imperial family.

in addition … a little investigation will reveal that i’m infected with blood poison and am a dying person, so my value is infinitely low …

after much thought, bai wushang still couldn’t understand, so he asked directly.

unexpectedly, ji yuying shook her head and replied seriously, ”

” to save you this time, father used up the power of the tourmaline that had been sealed for nearly a hundred years. this is unprecedented. ”

” this is a dimension-lowering strike for the entire dynasty. it’s a little damaging. ”

“senior luo or anyone else can’t make my father pay such a huge price.”

” the person you want to thank is a red-haired elder sister. i heard that her surname is zhu, and her first name is qin. ”

“zhu qin?” bai wushang frowned, somewhat stunned.

how could it be her?

did she have that much power?

but even if he did, why did he save him?

our relationship … is that good?

“i don’t know. you can ask her yourself.”

” no. ” ji yuying shook her head again, ” i only know that father owed her family a promise, and she used that promise to save you in exchange for your life. ”

“so, if you see father, you don’t have to thank him too much. the one who really helped you is her.”

bai wushang nodded hesitantly. ” i understand. ”

after that, he asked a few other questions.

when it came to the absolute beginning evil spirit, ji yuying said that her realm was low and that she had only accidentally awakened her soul power in the past two days.

her knowledge was also one-sided. there were some inside stories that not everyone knew, even if they were the children of the royal family.

this was both a form of protection and a form of blockade.

in short, ji yuying meant that the red dragon emperor would definitely meet bai wushang and ask him himself.

what should be known, what should be understood, it was up to his father to decide.

then, the girl in pink told bai wushang about what had happened in shanhai city.

for example, situ xuance had suppressed the city all by himself. although he was in pain of losing his son, his actions were really disgraceful.

for example, in the original plan of the golden dragon guard, zhou zhanguo, bai wushang would die;

for example, the first of the top ten, wind-chasing arrow, yu liang, had revealed his identity to speak for him in an attempt to get a chance.

for example, not only did zhu qin have a guardian, but she also turned the tide and crushed the crimson dragon token in a domineering manner …

“so there were so many things that happened.”

bai wushang sighed with emotion.

in his heart, there was the feeling of being lucky enough to survive, the hatred for the iron sickle king, the vigilance against the golden-dragon guards, and the respect and gratitude for big brother mu, yu liang, and the others.

of course, the most difficult to figure out was still zhu qin.

this woman … what was she thinking?

he had used his body as a cage to try to bury the absolute beginning evil spirit, but he had no choice.

if they didn’t do this, everyone would be annihilated.

if he did it, he would still have some vitality.

why did it seem like he had saved her life?

although from the perspective of the result, this was not wrong.

however, in this complicated world of power, bai wushang still found it difficult to understand zhu qin’s thoughts.

perhaps it was because his status was too high and he cherished his life so much that he decided to thank him?

or did she just have a kind heart that abhorred evil and advocated fairness and justice?

bai wushang couldn’t be sure, so he could only guess.

“gululu …”

after chatting for half an hour, they had learned almost everything they needed to know.

bai wushang suddenly realized that his body, which had been full when he woke up, was suddenly a little hungry.

and this feeling was getting more and more intense, and it couldn’t be stopped.

” xiao ying, can you give me something to eat? perhaps i’ve been asleep for too long and haven’t eaten for a long time, so my body’s functions haven’t adjusted yet … ”

before he could finish his words, bai wushang suddenly lowered his head and looked at his left palm.

there, her fair skin suddenly cracked open, and a bloody mouth bloomed.
