Quick Transmigration: The Foolish Beauty Saves the World

Chapter 150 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (28)

Jingli drew the car curtain, shrank back into her seat, closed her eyes, and felt her own energy.

Everything has two sides. The shadows in this world are very strong, and correspondingly, the more energy Jingli gains by defeating them, the more energy he will gain.

In the very second that the talisman burned out, Jingli felt the energy within his body become more abundant, showing a tendency to coalesce.

Having read countless fantasy novels in the previous two worlds, Jingli guessed that he might also be about to experience a "breakthrough" in some realm.

Once this idea came to mind, Jingli stopped slacking off. On the way to the palace, he used a stamina recovery card to form an "eye" with his energy and placed it outside the carriage.

Dark shadows kept reaching towards the "Energy Eye," only to be torn to shreds by the "Energy Eye" under Jingli's manipulation.

Only the faint screams that Jingli could hear accompanied him all the way. When they arrived at the palace, Jingli wiped the fine sweat from his brow and realized that he was exhausted from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, he learned from the lessons of the previous world and has been working hard to improve his physical fitness. Otherwise, even with the support of the stamina recovery card, he would have been exhausted long ago after using up so much energy.

But the progress is also very obvious.

The energy within his body had become much more concentrated than before. Before approaching the palace, he condensed another talisman. This time, the talisman lasted for three seconds. Although the cleanup area was still limited to one square meter, the shadows were moving and the longer duration indicated that he could process more energy.

Jingli scrambled to her feet, but her legs gave way, and she nearly fell off the carriage.

Langyue helped him up, assuming that Jingli was tired from the long journey, and gently rubbed his head: "Just hang in there a little longer, you'll be able to rest soon."

Because of their plans for a spring hunt, the palace they came to was located in a large forest. Although it was just a palace, it was still very magnificent. It was unknown how much manpower and resources were spent, but a road that could be driven from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain was built so that carriages could travel.

The driveway was also paved with some kind of stone slab, and its smoothness was comparable to that of the roads in the previous two worlds.

And just like the imperial palace, there wasn't a trace of any shadowy figures in this temporary palace.

The common people are mired in misery, while the emperor remains untainted.

Knowing that the emperor and princes were coming today, the entire palace was brightly lit even though it was already night. Palace servants were already there to greet them, unloading luggage from each carriage and leading them inside.

Jingli was blinded by the dazzling night scene and felt a pang of melancholy.

Everything at the palace had been arranged, and there was nothing more for the masters to do. It was getting late, and the emperor was tired, so he was too lazy to invite everyone to dinner. He simply instructed the palace servants to deliver the evening meal to the residences of each palace, and to hold a formal banquet the next day.

Jingli and Langyue's residence is in a good location. Although it is not as large as the palace, it has a small courtyard and a hot spring.

Langyue lived in the main house, Jingli lived in the side house, and Jingjing slept on a small bed in Jingli's room, just like when she was in the palace.

Jingli was exhausted today and had no intention of soaking in the hot springs. She simply asked the palace servants to fetch hot water, took a quick shower, and then prepared to rest.

Before going to sleep, Jingjing tidied Jingli's blankets, knelt down beside the bed, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"Her Majesty retrieved a letter today."

Upon hearing this, Jingli immediately opened her eyes.

"Sister Jingjing means, Xiao An, he—"

"Shh!" Jingjing gently covered Jingli's mouth. "This is just Jingjing's guess, but it seems that Xiao An will meet His Highness at this palace."

Jingli's fatigue from the journey vanished, and she was in a great mood, a smile spreading across her face.

Jingjing, watching from the side, felt a warmth in her heart and gently pinched Jingli's nose: "Only when Xiao'an is mentioned can Your Highness be so happy."

Jingli didn't refute: "I wonder what he looks like now."

Jingjing tidied up the bed for Jingli again: "Your Highness, you should go to sleep early. They said there will be a spring hunt tomorrow, and you might be able to see him then."

Jingli nodded emphatically and said goodnight to Jingjing.

The candle was blown out, Jingli closed her eyes, and slept without a dream.

·

The banquet at the imperial palace was held at noon the following day, and the spring hunt was held the morning after that, so the schedule was relatively flexible.

Jingli, however, did not slack off. She made an appointment with Yuan Lanying to practice basic skills together in the courtyard early in the morning.

During these three years of compression, Jingli still maintained his playful and decadent appearance in front of others, but Zeng Yuan and Yuan Lanying, especially Yuan Lanying, could sense the difference in Jingli.

Yuan Lanying's attitude towards Jingli also changed from gratitude at the beginning to respect.

As dawn broke, Yuan Lanying, dressed in a smart outfit, waited respectfully in the courtyard of Jingli.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

A hoarse, slightly childish voice came through, giving Jingli goosebumps.

Three years have passed, and not only has he entered a growth phase, but Yuan Lanying, who is a year older than him, has also changed significantly.

Yuan Lanying was originally a martial artist. He was thin and looked frail before, but since he gained Jing Li's favor, his status in the Yuan family has risen, and he has naturally received more training resources.

Even now, he still looks thin, but beneath his outer garment, his beautifully defined muscles are captivating. He has also grown quite a bit taller; Jingli, who is a year younger than him, only reaches his shoulder.

The baby fat on his face had faded a bit, and he had developed the features of a man.

Upon seeing him today, Jingli was taken aback by his current appearance, and at the same time, she secretly looked forward to her own transformation.

In this world! He has a balanced diet and drinks milk every day! He definitely won't be only 1.7 meters tall like in the last world!

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two began their morning exercise together.

Unlike the imperial palace, the temporary palace is surrounded by mountains, with fresh and humid air. Even just standing in the courtyard practicing horse stance is refreshing.

The morning dew mixed with sweat, quickly soaking Jingli's clothes. Feeling a little uncomfortable, and seeing that everyone in the courtyard was family, Jingli loosened her collar.

Yuan Lanying's expression suddenly turned serious. Jing Li paused, thinking that Yuan Lanying thought he was being impolite, when she heard Yuan Lanying say:

"Someone."

Jingli's expression hardened, and he immediately released his energy to sense it.

Strangely, he didn't sense any malicious people around him.

At the same time, the counterfeit system announced that it was counterfeit.

[Congratulations, host! Mission target's favorability +1.]

[Affection Level: 81/100, First Stage Goal: 100 (Note: Affection level cap will increase as the mission progresses)]

[Warning! An increasing trend in the target's corruption level has been detected! Host, please take immediate countermeasures!]

Jingli froze, realizing what was happening, and hurriedly said to Yuan Lanying, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he rushed out of the yard like the wind.
