The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

When Ruan Jiao woke up in the cabin of the spacecraft, her head still felt a little swollen and painful, and her body was still feeling heavy and weak.

She thought back and the last thing she remembered was that she had successfully soothed the Crown Prince's spirit and cleared away the excessive burden.

A potential riot was successfully quelled.

Moreover, Ruan Jiao had limited experience in this area, but she also realized that the fact that this matter went so smoothly must mean that they had a high degree of compatibility.

But it was S-level after all. Even though she was quite talented in the field of mental power, it would still consume a lot of energy to comfort her like this.

Her own physical recovery speed was not as fast as those of high-level bloodlines, so she was still exhausted and felt tired after walking a few steps.

But worth it.

She worked so hard to condense her spiritual body, and her progress was much earlier than in her previous life. Wasn't it all for this moment?

Suddenly, a voice was heard outside the cabin door.

"Miss Ruan, are you awake?"

Ruan Jiao couldn't identify the voice. Perhaps it was an employee on the ship. His bloodline should be high, so it was normal for him to hear her movements through the wall.

"Please come in."

The access panel made a slight sound, the door slowly opened, and several figures in formal attire walked in.

Their faces were all unfamiliar, all of them were cold and serious, and there was no emotion in their eyes when they looked at her.

The leader introduced himself first and said that they were all staff members of the Royal Household Department.

"You helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through the crisis. His Majesty the King thanks you and the medical expenses have been deposited into your account."

The man said in a businesslike manner, "In addition, Your Majesty heard that you encountered difficulties in handling the account transfer procedures--"

Ruan Jiao raised her head suddenly.

She originally grew up on a small planet on the border of Erx.

A few years ago, my adoptive parents died in a bombing by space pirates. Later, I met my biological parents and my registered residence has not changed.

After all, that mercenary couple wished she was dead after learning about her bloodline level.

It was only thanks to her admission into one of the most prestigious schools in Outlets that they reluctantly accepted her, but they announced to the outside world that she was their goddaughter.

Relatives, friends and partners all thought it was natural. After all, the couple were both C-level, Ruan Ting was also C-level, but Ruan Jiao was only E-level.

Her biological child seems more like an adopted one.

So far, the registered place of residence on her identity chip has not been changed.

Ruan Jiao took a breath, "What do you mean?"

"It means that you are the only child your parents have."

Ruan Jiao was stunned.

They transferred their household registration to that couple's name and got Ruan Ting out?

If it were in her previous life, Ruan Jiao would have been extremely happy.
After all, she has always longed to enter the Ruan family legitimately and become their child.

But now she knew that these changes were only superficial. Those two people did not accept her in their hearts. What was the use of these?

Besides, she also recognized the true colors of these relatives, and now she only wanted to take revenge on them.

Ruan Jiao's mind was in a mess, but thinking that her parents would be shocked and angry about this, she felt a little better.

but--

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
She frowned, "I heard he went to the palace?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing to cancel the engagement. For the sake of his reputation, you should stop contacting him."
The man said calmly, "I am repeating what His Majesty said, and he thinks you should understand what he means."

Ruan Jiao’s face turned pale.

Are you really going to cancel the engagement?
This was not good news for her, after all, Duke Su was going to die anyway.

Now that the engagement has been cancelled, it is inconvenient for her to interact with the crown prince? It would be better to keep the engagement until Su Yao dies.

And this kind of thing never happened in my previous life.

Is it the butterfly effect of rebirth? Or is the king just saying yes but not actually doing it?
Besides, it was Duke Su who first proposed to cancel the engagement!
Could there be some rumors that might implicate me?
What made her even more uncomfortable was that the king's attitude seemed to be that he wanted to settle accounts with her and would not allow the crown prince to have any contact with her in the future.

Several thoughts flashed through Ruan Jiao's mind.

This is not enough!
She hasn't made those people pay the real price yet!
And, even without mentioning revenge—
She also still wanted to see Ryan again.

Ruan Jiao was immersed in her thoughts and did not notice that the mechanical eyes of an employee in front of her were rotating, clearly recording everything in the cabin.

Including her reaction.

……

"Look, Ryan, if she really liked you, this wouldn't be the way she reacted when she heard you were going to be single again, right?"

In the office of the palace, the king turned his head with a smile and looked at his eldest son who had a calm expression beside him.

"is it?"
The Crown Prince looked at his father and said, "The cancellation of the engagement is accompanied by the news that we can't meet for the time being. If she becomes happy immediately, then you probably have another set of excuses waiting for me, right?"

"I just want you to know what she wants from you."
James II sneered and stopped arguing with his rebellious son. "This Ruan guy isn't very smart, but if he were too clever, you would be on guard. This kind of person is just right for you."

Ryan closed his eyes and said, "You are prejudiced against her. No matter how much I say, it will be useless."

The king snorted, "You two are so compatible that you have a filter for her too. Nothing I say will help."

So he had to deal with more important things.

"The news of the cancellation of the engagement will be announced soon, but if anyone asks about it——"
The king said meaningfully, "As for your previous fiancée, she cannot provide you with spiritual comfort."

The Crown Prince frowned.

"That's true, isn't it?"
James II waved his hand and said, "I know you don't like to speak ill of others in public. You don't have to say it. You just need to not deny it."

Ruan Jiao knew nothing about this.

The officials from the Royal Household Department also told her another story, about the death of her adoptive parents.

Piazzi, the head of the security department of the border inspection fortress in the Eux galaxy, has colluded with criminal gangs. That's how the pirates crossed the border defense line back then.

They obtained the security codes, so they did not trigger the alarm of the unmanned fleet and were able to plunder the asteroids in the territory of Orlai.

When they land on a planet, there is usually one or two rounds of deterrent bombing.

“…Has this person been arrested?”

"Yes, Ms. Ruan, at the moment, he will at least be sentenced to life imprisonment."

But the trial has not yet taken place, so the death penalty may not be impossible.

Ruan Jiao understood what he meant and nodded silently.

Her adoptive parents were busy with work and didn't spend much time with her, but they were very kind to her. She felt much relieved when she heard the news.

"Everyone, the spacecraft is about to land."
A crew member came over and said, "Miss Ruan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to take you back to school first."

……

same moment.

The headquarters of Ole Military University.
Beimen Airport.

Another light and gorgeous shuttle slowly landed in the night.

Such universities gather dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life. The staff are accustomed to them and can remain calm when faced with those expensive limited edition ships.

Su Yao got off the spaceship and met only a few freshmen with shocked faces.

They had disembarked from another small passenger boat and were staring at her shuttle so dully that they didn't notice her walking by.

The headquarters campus is extremely large, with towering teaching buildings, crisscrossing corridors, stacked platforms, wide and straight boulevards, and all kinds of vehicles traveling at limited speeds.

My predecessor just enrolled in school last year and dropped out shortly after. There were very few classmates she was familiar with, and no one recognized her when she walked on the street.

Su Yao walked across a long sky bridge and entered Building A of the Academic Affairs Building, and heard a noise in the corridor.

"I'm telling you, my aunt is the vice-president. If you dare to compete with me for her position—"

There were two people talking at the corner, and it sounded like one was threatening the other to give up his place on a project team.

"Do you know that even if I 'accidentally' kill you, it would only be a matter of paying some money?"

Su Yao walked forward calmly until she saw the two people completely.

One of them was squatting by the wall with a pale face, while the other stood in the middle of the aisle with his arms folded, looking proud.

There are subtitles appearing above the head of the person standing.

Su Yao stopped.

At first it was just jumbled letters, but as she concentrated, the letters multiplied into sentences with incorrect vocabulary and grammar.

[How dare the untouchables rob me...]
[These F-level bloodline trash are more fragile than ants. They can be killed with a single slap. They should be grateful that they can go to school here...]

[What the hell? What is this person looking at? Have I seen her before? ]
[The little bitch is actually pretty. ]

Su Yao turned her head.

"What are you looking at?!"
The man sneered, "Why, do you want to stand up for him?"

Su Yao narrowed her eyes. "Are you a titled noble?"

The man raised his chin. "Nonsense, I was made a baron five years ago—"

Su Yao interrupted him, "Are you of B-grade bloodline?"

The man pulled the corner of his mouth, "I——"

"Yes or no?!"
Su Yao grabbed his neck and lifted him up and pressed him against the wall. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you want me to take out your chip and see it?"

The water onion's round and blunt nails seemed to become sharp, pressing against the blood vessels in the neck. Its sharp claws easily pierced the muscles, and a thin red line meandered down.

The skin that was originally invulnerable to swords and guns now became as fragile as tofu.

The man felt a stinging pain and suddenly realized what this meant. The color drained from his face.

The harsh words that were about to come out of his mouth could no longer be uttered.

He lowered his head in horror and met those cold golden eyes.

"F-Forgive my rudeness."
The man squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "Your Excellency the Duke, I am indeed Class B."

Su Yao smiled. "You know who I am. Tell me, if I 'accidentally' kill you, how much should I pay?"

The man's face was pale and his lips were blue. "I, I, I——"

How much compensation?

There are many nobles in this school, but S-level ones are rare. The power displayed by the other party just now, coupled with such appearance, is enough to prove his identity.

So he understood what the other party meant.

She can afford any amount of compensation!

Su Yao gave a fake smile and relaxed her hand a little, "What is your bloodline?"

The man was shaking like a sieve, as if he was afraid that she would really kill someone. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "Majunlong."

Su Yao looked at him thoughtfully.

At this point, there is no need to lie, and if I were not a noble, I would not have such a subtitle. So -

Her mind-reading abilities have improved?!

In the past, let alone B-level, even C-level only had letters!

Just now, when she was looking at the letters, she consciously and deeply stimulated her mental power, and the words became clear instantly.

This process is much faster than before.

Perhaps these are the results of developing a spiritual body?
"..."

The student who was originally bullied was dumbfounded, leaning against the wall in amazement, as if he had not yet reacted to what was happening.

Su Yao threw the person in her hand aside.

That person is a typical bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is so arrogant towards those who are weaker than him, and so cowardly in front of those who are stronger than him.

Now, he just lay on the ground trembling, without saying a word.

Su Yao ignored them and turned away.

As she walked, she opened her light brain to search and checked whether the dinosaur bloodline had any characteristics of mental weakness.

There is no answer.

Su Yao asked Saturday again, and Saturday said that there was no relevant record. From the known situation, the innate mental strength of this bloodline was medium.

That is, a state of being neither strong nor weak among bloodlines of the same level.

She was very satisfied with the answer because it meant that she had indeed made significant progress.

But I still need to find a few more B-level ones to try.

Su Yao thought so and walked into a spacious office where several noisy young students were standing. A deputy director was surrounded in the middle and looked very troubled.

She stood at the door for a moment, looking at the young men.

The letters above some people's heads are vaguely visible, while for others there are no subtitles at all.

They are competing for a frontline internship.

In the conflict zone on the border of Orlai, apart from the space pirate warlords, there are only the remaining Light Clan people. It is not particularly dangerous, at least not as dangerous as during the war.

So many people are willing to go through the experience, or just to gild their resume.

"Ahem," Su Yao cleared her throat. "Excuse me, would you like to talk later? I have something else to do."

The office was silent for a few seconds.

A group of people turned around.

They were all seniors in the school, and all of them were prominent. Even though they noticed someone coming in, they didn't expect the newcomer to dare to say that.

"New student?"
One of them looked her over and said, "Wait there. We are not done yet."

"I made an appointment, and it's two minutes overdue."
Su Yao interrupted her, "If you haven't finished, it means you are inefficient. Why are you wasting my time?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "The little girl is quite courageous——"

She was about to say something else when a classmate nudged her with her elbow, a hint of uncertainty on her face, "Your Excellency the Duke...?"

A group of people changed their expressions.

But there was more curiosity in their eyes, and they kept looking at her as if they had seen a rare animal.

Su Yao: "..."

Isn’t it a rare animal?

There is only one in the entire universe.

Su Yao looked at the person who was speaking, "Have we met before?"

"You are so forgetful, my mother is the Marquis of Lanbell, so she is your cousin. We met before at a dinner party in the palace."

"Oh, okay, niece," Su Yao smiled at the man, "I'm sorry, I met too many people that day."

Miss Lanbel: "..."

She curled her lips and looked a little unhappy because the girl in front of her was too young and she felt like she was being taken advantage of.

Or he took the initiative to deliver it to his door.

"Anyway."
Su Yao ignored the group and turned to the deputy director sitting at the table.
"I have submitted my application online and signed the agreement. Now that I am here, can you help me with my withdrawal process quickly?"

The office was once again so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The group of students looked at her in shock, as if her face was covered with flowers.

"Ah, Your Excellency," the deputy director stood up, "I did receive your application. In fact, I thought it was just..."

"It wasn't an accidental touch, nor was it a prank or anything like that. Now you can confirm that."
Su Yao sighed, "Any more questions?"

The deputy director was silent for a moment, "But... may I ask, why?"

The Ole Military University is actually a comprehensive university. Whether it is the main school or the branch school, only students from the military academy will be awarded titles upon graduation.

Students majoring in other colleges and universities are no different from ordinary college students and are not subject to military management.

In other words, you can drop out if you want.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what major I study. I applied to the Command Academy because of my fiancé, but now I've decided to break up with him."

As everyone was dumbfounded, Su Yao said these words calmly.

And it's true.

My previous life wasn't deeply in love with the Crown Prince, but I had some feelings for him, and with the engagement, I wanted to get to know him better.

These nobles would not use their diplomas to work, and their grades in various subjects were relatively average, with no subject they liked or disliked very much.

So she wanted to choose her fiancé's major.

"I decided to change to a better school for graduation."
Su Yao spread her hands. "After all, I'm not a genius. It will take some time and effort to get a degree from your school, and I have other things to do."

The cause of death of "myself" in the book remains a mystery.

All majors at Ole Military University have projects that need to be completed outside the field, and the locations may not be the same each time.

——It is also one of the risk factors.

She now wants to try to make some decisions that her predecessor would never make.

Every time you do this, you are eliminating a possible cause of your death from the root.

Even if it may not work, it's worth a try.

Anyway, in the original book, "I" did not drop out of school.
But even though they were in the same school, she had very little interaction with the male protagonist because she was too busy and she was only in the first grade.

"...So that's it."
The deputy director sighed helplessly, "We do have a graduation age limit, unlike some colleges where you can extend your study time indefinitely as long as you pay tuition every year."

This is one of the best colleges in Outlet, but for the nobles, such an opportunity may not be so rare.

In the past, there were people who dropped out of school because they found it difficult to graduate.

The little girl in front of me also got in on the exam based on her own ability, but she still wanted to give up.

The deputy director felt it was a pity, but he would not refuse this request. After all, dropping out of school is someone's right.

"I understand, Your Excellency the Duke. I will do it for you."

A sneer suddenly sounded in the office.

Among the students, there was an unfamiliar blond man with a sarcastic look on his face. "Are you feeling embarrassed?"

Su Yao tilted her head. "What's wrong with you?"

"Humph, now everyone who is well-informed knows that you can't cultivate a spiritual body, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to break off the engagement with you--"
The blond man twitched his lips, "You just can't stay here anymore, right?"

He is A-level, has reached the middle stage of awakening, and the power brought by his bloodline is more defensive.

Most of the S-class, if they haven't awakened, can't hurt him easily.

Therefore, he said these words with confidence, without any fear on his face.

Su Yao sighed and looked at the deputy director next to her, "I will compensate you in full."

Deputy Director: “…”
He didn't even open his mouth to stop it, probably because he had seen this kind of situation many times.

Su Yao turned her head.

The hands under her sleeves instantly transformed into beasts, turning into huge lion claws, and then she slapped out with her backhand.

Although the claws were not extended, the strength of the awakened state was enough.

The blond man was slapped to the ground.

The bricks and stones beneath him shattered into pieces in an instant.

He also entered the awakened form and hardened the muscles in his upper body immediately, but he still couldn't withstand the force.

"That's it?!"

The blond man said through gritted teeth, suppressing the feeling of blood boiling in his chest and suddenly jumped up.

"Your Excellency the Duke, you don't have a spiritual body, so you can't awaken further, right? Otherwise, you will--"

"cannot?"

Su Yao looked at him with a smile.

The next second, a red light rose behind her.

The huge skeleton fluttered its wings, raised its hands full of pus, blood and maggots, and stared at everyone with its terrifying one eye.

Everyone was immediately immersed in shock, and then they all gasped.

Behind Su Yao, a scorpion tail was raised high and swaying slightly in the air.

The dark red and black carapace seemed to be soaked in congealed blood, and the sickle-like tail hook was shining with a sad and cold light.

"What a fool?!"
"Your Excellency the Duke? You can't——"

They were not clear about her awakening progress, nor were they clear about the state of her mental and physical load.

But when she saw this tail, she knew that if she lost control and went crazy on the spot, everyone here would die.

"Aunt, please put away your magical powers!"
The cheap niece also slid down on the spot, "Don't bother with this idiot, he doesn't deserve to enjoy your venom ah ah ah ah ah——"

"Calm down."
Su Yao glanced at her speechlessly, "I'm quite sober."

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, then at the spirit body above her head.

It is said that the spiritual body is a projection of will and soul.

Everyone present here can condense a spiritual body, and have seen many spiritual bodies.

This thing in front of me doesn't look like something a normal person can make.

At that moment, a thought came into their minds at the same time.

Who said Duke Su doesn't have a spiritual body?!
Obviously a rumor.

I heard that she never comforted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—
Perhaps His Highness was simply frightened by this thing!
