"My cha might not be as famous as Su Yan’s Hongying cha," Feng Qi said as he walked over, placing a hand on the cha’s reinforced leg. His gaze was deep as he looked at the cha, seeming to be lost in mory. "But Hei Xuan is also a fine cha that has seen battle."
"Its na is Hei Xuan?" Jiang Zheyu also walked over, reaching out to touch the cha.
"Yes, it’s called the Hei Xuan cha." Feng Qi glanced at her with a smile, pulling himself out of his reminiscence.
"Can it open its eyes?" Jiang Zheyu noticed the cha’s eye sockets were dark and hollow, and its head was drooping.
This ant the cha’s master had not yet connected their spiritual power to control it.
She rembered that when Su Yan entered his cha and linked his spiritual power to it, the Hongying cha’s eyes had glowed a brilliant red. The entire machine seed to have instantly co to life, becoming incredibly vivid.
"It probably can’t anymore." Feng Qi looked at the cha, then slowly turned his head toward Jiang Zheyu. "Do you know why?"
Jiang Zheyu paused and looked at Feng Qi. She didn’t speak, but her gaze showed she was waiting for his explanation.
"Back at the coffee shop, didn’t you ask why I ca back to be the Inspector Team Captain?" Feng Qi’s gaze rested quietly on Jiang Zheyu, his voice steady and unhurried. "It’s because while I was killing insects, I was careless and got hit. It left my spiritual power unstable, so I can’t operate this cha anymore. Since I could no longer go to the battlefield, I was ordered back to the Imperial Capital Star."
He recounted this part of his past calmly, as if it didn’t bother him at all.
’But did he really not care?’
"I’m sorry," Jiang Zheyu said after a mont of silence.
’I can repair spiritual power.’
’But if I just said that, wouldn’t I expose my identity as the one who has been treating those Beastn?’
’I already gave the last few Beastn I healed a contact thod provided by the system. This way, if other Beastn want to heal their spiritual power, they can be given my contact info. My starting price for treatnt is two million Star Coins, but I also left a ssage: anyone who wants their spiritual power healed can seek out, because I’ll choose a few Beastn to heal for free, depending on my mood. I plan to use this to make money. Even if the original heroine later develops a reagent that can lower the Beastification Value, it can’t heal damaged spiritual power. My healing spiritual body will still have a market. Actually, the system also has a reagent for healing damaged spiritual bodies, but I’ll wait until my own spiritual power is at the highest level before I bring it out. In the novel, the heroine also seed to start researching a reagent to heal damaged spiritual bodies later on. I don’t know if she ever succeeded, because the ending of the novel was rushed. The author seed to have lost interest and just left that plot hole unfilled before ending it abruptly.’
"Hasn’t the Empire managed to find a way to heal spiritual bodies yet?" Jiang Zheyu asked, subtly trying to prompt Feng Qi to start looking. He would probably hear about her budding reputation then.
’Then I can help him in my guise as the person in black.’
"The Empire hasn’t made any progress so far. However, there’s been a mysterious person in the Outer City District lately who can heal spiritual bodies." Feng Qi raised an eyebrow slightly. "I heard they can also purify Beastification Value. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve already contacted that person."
"Really," Jiang Zheyu said, feigning so surprise.
"Mhm." Feng Qi looked at her and nodded slightly, his deep gaze fixed on her. "And quite coincidentally, all the Beastn who were healed were the ones you needed to compensate."
Jiang Zheyu blinked slowly. "Is that so? Weren’t the Beastn who received compensation anonymous? How did that person find them?"
"Maybe you were seen when you went to their door to thank them last ti." Feng Qi withdrew his probing gaze from Jiang Zheyu. "I heard that Beastman has S-rank or higher spiritual power. Since they’re in it for the money, they should be easy to talk to."
’Money isn’t an issue.’
"Yes, Captain Qi. Your unstable spiritual power can definitely be cured," Jiang Zheyu said, looking at Feng Qi and nodding with certainty.
Feng Qi looked into the young woman’s soft, bright eyes, his heart softening with affection. He chuckled softly. "I’ll take your word for it, then."
Since the coffee date had been a bust, the two of them went to a shopping mall afterward, where Jiang Zheyu bought many things for Feng Qi.
As evening fell, Feng Qi escorted Jiang Zheyu to the outside of the Imperial Palace.
A young man with blond hair and golden eyes was already standing there, waiting.
"Your Highness." Feng Qi looked at the blond young man and placed his right hand over his left breast, nodding slightly in greeting.
Jin Yu also nodded with a faint smile.
Feng Qi then turned to Jiang Zheyu, a lazy smile on his face. "Next ti we et, I’ll have to call you Her Highness, Princess Jiang Yuyu."
"Of course," Jiang Zheyu said with a small smile.
After this one day, their relationship had indeed grown much closer.
"In order to earn your Spiritual Comfort, Princess Yu Yu, I’ll work even harder to earn contribution points." While Jiang Zheyu was off guard, Feng Qi bent down slightly, leaned in close, and then just reached out to gently pinch her cheek. "Of course, I’d much rather receive your Spiritual Comfort as your Beast Husband."
Jiang Zheyu froze for a mont. By the ti she processed what had happened, Feng Qi had already lowered his hand.
He got into the Hovercar and sat down, looking at her. "Jiang Yuyu, I’m leaving now. Don’t forget to miss ."
Jiang Zheyu blinked. "We’ll see."
"Then I’ll just assu you’ll miss ," Feng Qi said with a smile, his handso face looking both casual and cheerful.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
Feng Qi gave a slight nod to the Prince and then left.
After watching Feng Qi leave, Jiang Zheyu finally turned to the Prince behind her and nodded slightly. "Prince Yu."
"Let’s go. I’ll take you to your chambers." Jin Yu gestured slightly with his hand, inviting Jiang Zheyu to walk with him.
Jiang Zheyu nodded and followed him. This Prince was always gentle and polite, his gaze kind. She silently glanced at the Prince beside her before quickly looking away.
’The blond-haired, golden-eyed Prince is the Star Emperor’s sole heir, aning he’ll be the next Star Emperor. And this Prince later becos the original heroine’s "main wife." Because of his noble status, gentle nature, and his grasp of the bigger picture, he successfully beca the "main wife" among all the mbers of the heroine’s harem. Even the slum-dwelling lizard with the highest combat power in the heroine’s harem only managed to beco her "second wife." In the novel, this Prince rarely resorted to force. I wonder what his true strength is really like? But when the original heroine was kidnapped by other factions, he never used force either. He’s probably a gentle, golden-haired beauty with a super-high IQ but zero Combat Power.’
Jiang Zheyu didn’t know for sure; she was just making wild guesses.
