"What's with the little princess today? She seems to be in a good mood," i Huizi asked with a loving smile.
"No, not at all!" Ozawa Miwa blushed and said, "It's just because I saw Granny Huizi, so I'm this happy!"
"We see each other every day, what's there to be happy about seeing ?" Although she said this, the smile on i Huizi's face grew even wider, showing that she was quite pleased with Ozawa Miwa's complint.
After speaking, i Huizi took a beautiful dress out of the wardrobe and said, "This is your outfit for tomorrow, there will be guests coming."
Ozawa Miwa frowned; these days, scenes like this were almost a regular occurrence, and the so-called guests were all people of high status, well-known families, or powerful figures from the country.
To be honest, Ozawa Miwa had a deep-seated aversion to these inexplicable etings. She could not understand why, after being praised by these guests and responding with polite humility, she would be left out like a decorative vase.
What aning do these etings have for her?
After a mont of silence, Ozawa Miwa tentatively asked, "Can I not go?"
"Do you think you can?" i Huizi lovingly patted Ozawa Miwa's head and comforted her, "Don't think too much, you don't even need to speak, just sit and listen."
This ti, Ozawa Miwa suddenly lifted her head, looked i Huizi straight in the eyes, and said, "Granny Huizi, I have sothing to ask you, please be honest with !"
A flash of panic flickered in i Huizi's eyes for a brief mont before she returned to normal, "Alright, ask away!"
For so reason, from Ozawa Miwa's gaze, i Huizi always felt as if this pure-hearted little princess had so premonition about sothing...
Sure enough, Ozawa Miwa's question soon ca.
"May I ask, do so of the recent events have anything to do with ?"
i Huizi sighed inwardly, yet maintained her expression, "The little princess is overthinking, how could they have anything to do with you, it's just necessary royal etiquette!"
"No!"
Ozawa Miwa imdiately determined that i Huizi was brushing her off, and said, "Granny Huizi, you've watched grow up, you're like a mother to , so even if sothing bad is going to happen, please let be ntally prepared, okay?!"
The almost pleading voice, combined with the words, made i Huizi's heart ache as though soone had seized it. She hurriedly excused herself, "The little princess is overthinking, you should rest early!"
"Can you really bear to watch the person you raised from childhood be completely ignorant of her impending fate?" At this mont, Ozawa Miwa already had a vague answer, but she still wanted confirmation.
i Huizi paused in her steps, her face full of difficulty despite facing away from Ozawa Miwa, "Little princess, do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
Ozawa Miwa replied resolutely.
"Sigh..."
i Huizi sighed deeply, as if making a great decision, and said, "Actually, you should have almost guessed it. This ti, it's your father wanting to find a ho for you!"
"A ho?!"
Ozawa Miwa widened her eyes in disbelief. Even though she had sowhat guessed it, hearing it with her own ears was still hard to believe.
"Why wasn't I told beforehand?" Ozawa Miwa said angrily, "Since it's a ho for , it should at least be with my consent!"
Hearing this indignant protest, i Huizi felt even guiltier. She had always regarded her as a flower in a greenhouse, and telling her this suddenly was indeed too much to take in.
i Huizi's eyes shifted quickly, but she finally said, "Do you rember the last ti you asked sothing?"
"Now I can give you the correct answer, though it may be cruel for you, but it is the truth!"
i Huizi dared not turn to look at Ozawa Miwa, and only said, "Perhaps ordinary girls have the right to pursue their happiness and find a satisfactory ho, but as a princess of the royal family, you won't have the opportunity to decide this on your own."
"In fact, your father has been very good to you. You should have noticed that in these recent etings, each person has had a young man beside them, right?"
i Huizi said, "Your father has already secured the greatest extent of your autonomy; you can choose anyone among them."
With that, i Huizi quickly left the room, even though she told herself that a quick pain is better than prolonged agony, the tears at the corner of her eyes had already fallen.
As Ozawa Miwa had said, the little princess she had raised was like her own daughter, and no mother in the world can bear to marry her daughter to an unsuitable man.
However, so things are predestined, after all, she was born into royalty!
Inside the room, the blank-eyed Ozawa Miwa stood rooted to the spot for a long ti as if she had lost her soul, with only her clenched fists betraying her inner anger...

The next morning, Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan each stood with their suitcases at the villa entrance, waiting for linda to retrieve the car from the garage.
"Take this!" Ghost Face extended his hand, holding a small rhombus-shaped crystal, looking like a miniature version of the Five Elents crystal.
"What is this?!"
Xiao Tian was montarily stunned, but he had an idea of what it was.
"That's right, this is the smaller version of the Five Elents crystal, obviously it's just sothing I made myself." Ghost Face said as he handed the crystal to Xiao Tian.
"Inside, it contains all the Five Elents crystal energy I've extracted so far. Carrying it helps alleviate your genetic collapse."
"Additionally, besides stabilizing genetic collapse, if introduced into the body, it temporarily allows for genetic repair, and your strength will be restored temporarily." Ghost Face explained, "The duration it lasts depends on your energy consumption."
"Although unlike Genetic Lock Unlocking pills, it has no side effects." Ghost Face seriously advised, "I still have to remind you, according to my estimates, this small Five Elents crystal can sustain your peak strength for at most half an hour."
"Every use shortens its ti, after all, it's not a real Five Elents crystal and cannot self-supply its energy!"
Xiao Tian accepted it with a smile just as linda, driving a red sports car, stopped at the villa's gate.
After saying their goodbyes, the three drove to the airport.
"This ti, focus fully on finding out where that familiar feeling cos from, don't waste energy worrying about us!" Xiao Tian said to linda in the driver's seat.
After thinking for a mont, he added, "If anything happens, call us imdiately."
