Soul Trigger

Chapter 444 Ji Ruoxi (I)

"Your Highness Ji Li!!! I heard that you have been appointed as the official heir of the Lingling King! But so far, you have not achieved any public achievements! What do you think about this?! Is the conflict between you and Your Highness Ji Ruoxi real?!"

"Your Highness Ji Li! What do you think about the death of the former heir of the mausoleum? Do you think it was a murder?!"

"Your Highness Ji Li! I heard that you grew up in Silla! Is it true that the captain of the GX Tian team under the Gaoxing Group is in love with you?!"

"Your Highness Ji Li, could you please share your beauty secrets?!"

Another vehicle following closely behind had also stopped, and the black-clad guards quickly got out of the car to block the way for the chattering gossip reporters holding microphones.

Ji Li glanced at the reporters speechlessly and walked towards his home.

Starting from the third day of arriving in Shulong, reporters began to appear at the gate of Yuanling Palace.

The royal family members of Shulong are often the focus of attention and even admiration.

Because of their status, the royal family and the royal family often appear in various business, political and diplomatic activities. Regardless of whether they are low-key or not, they are basically public figures.

There is a large column called "Longwenshe" that specializes in reporting on the various movements of the royal family and royal family members.

Due to his physical appearance, King Yuanling rarely appears in public.

In the eyes of those gossip reporters, he is naturally the most mysterious of the nine mausoleum kings, so the attention that King Yuanling receives is enough to rank among the top three among the nine mausoleum kings.

Recently, due to Ji Ling's death, these reporters had been quiet for a while, but the news of Ji Li's entry and exit of Yuanling Palace quickly spread, and these gossip reporters surrounded Yuanling Palace again.

Ji Li had experienced this feeling of being the center of attention before, as he once served as the third seat in Murphy's megastructure.

So even though it was somewhat different from the peaceful feeling he had when he was with Shulong, it was not something he had not experienced before.

Strictly speaking, the feeling Shulong and Silla gave him was not much different. They were both modern cities from the same period, and in his opinion, the technology was equally backward.

However, the degree of urbanization in Shulong's capital far exceeds that of Silla. This capital city, named Shendu, is currently the second largest city in the world in terms of area and the most populous city.

You asked which city has the largest area? Currently it is New Britain on White Island.

Of course, Ji Li’s favorite thing is food.

After coming to Shulong, he felt that he could no longer look directly at things like kimchi, and the fruit yield was really high. This thing was a luxury item in Silla.

Finally, they got away from the crowd in the midst of the noise. After Ji Li handed the large and small bags to the housekeeping of Yuanling Palace, he followed them back to his residence.

But when I passed by the bamboo forest, I saw my cheap sister whom I hadn’t seen for a while—

Ji Ruoxi.

There were two girls of the same age as her in the bamboo forest, practicing with plastic steel practice knives in their hands, and Ji Ruoxi was instructing them beside them.

Ji Ruoxi originally had a faint smile on her face, but when she turned her head to meet Ji Li's gaze, her expression suddenly became as cold as ice.

The two girls next to them also turned around and saw Ji Li standing outside the bamboo forest in black. One of them blushed suddenly, turned her head away, and approached Ji Ruoxi with her hand covering her feverish face.

The other girl with a side ponytail was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and nodded at Ji Li fiercely:
“You…you…you you…?!”

Looking at that guy, Ji Li's eyes flashed with surprise:
"I remember your name... Li Jiangyao?"

Li Jiangyao pulled it out suddenly:
"The little prince is a fake corpse!!!"

Ji Ruoxi immediately turned her head away:
"You know him?"

Li Jiangyao was about to talk about Ji Li's fake death in a nonsensical way, but when he thought of the previous confidentiality clause, he suddenly shut up and shook his head vigorously.

"So what's the situation with these two?" Ji Li raised his eyebrows.

Ji Ruoxi glanced at him coldly:
"College classmate."

Ji Li nodded at Li Jiangyao and said:

"So you transferred to Ryogi to attend college?"

Li Jiangyao bowed immediately, looking very reserved:

"Yes, thanks to you... Sorry, am I too rude to call you that..."

Ji Ruoxi next to him put away the plastic steel knife in his hand:
"Let's stop here today." This was obviously a farewell. The two girls were stunned and looked disappointed.

Li Jiangyao seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the blushing girl next to him.

He could only bow to Ji Li and Ji Ruoxi with some disappointment, and then leave the bamboo forest accompanied by the hired workers.

"You chased people away as soon as I arrived. Doesn't that make me look mean?"

"No, I'm saving your face."

There was a whistling sound as the air was broken. Ji Li suddenly raised his hand and a plastic-steel sword flew into his hand.

In front of him, Ji Ruoxi held the plastic steel knife horizontally and raised her smooth chin slightly:

"I remember your previous evaluation of me...how about coming to experience it for yourself today?"

Ji Li held the plastic steel sword in both hands, looking a little suspicious:

"I thought you were avoiding me these past few days because you hated me, but it turns out you were secretly practicing swordplay?"

Ji Ruoxi's eyes suddenly turned cold——

Red light, burning, [Arrogance +12]

The sound of breaking air came again from the front. This time, Ji Li felt a needle-like pain on his skin. A black sword edge swept past his side, stirring up the bamboo leaves that soared into the sky and scattered them leisurely:
"I don't hate you...I am disgusted by you."

Ji Li tilted his head:

"If it was just that comment on the sword technique... there should be more to it, right?"

Ji Ruoxi sneered:
"My stepmother is devoted to the Yuanling Palace, but my father has never shown any enthusiasm for her. Do you know why?"

Ah...it turns out to be some family gossip.

Ji Li's eyes were calm:

"Because they are in a marriage relationship. Although it is a formal marriage, it is not sincere. At least King Yuanling may be like this..."

The emotions in Ji Ruoxi's eyes were finally no longer hidden by the coldness, but at this moment, she burst out with real disgust:
"What I hate most is your look, your self-righteousness, and your contented enjoyment of everything that the eldest brother should enjoy...

When you travel, there are maids to help you carry your things, drivers to help you drive, and even gossip reporters chasing you to report... Do you think all of this is something you can enjoy with peace of mind?

My father was originally heartbroken over the death of my eldest brother, so my stepmother also entered the Forbidden City to receive spiritual care.

But since he learned about your appearance, he has never gone to the Forbidden City to see her again.

Not only did he pass the position of Lingsizi directly to you, he also gave you a status and personally ignited your soul blood... But what have you been doing these days?
Traveling? Waiting for your father to arrange everything for you? Or enjoying the treatment you think belongs to you? "

Ji Ruoxi spoke these words as if venting her anger, and finally let out a long breath and calmed her breathing:
“I know you are not weak. Even in a small country like Silla, the person who can sit on the position of Director General of Aurora City will naturally not be weak, but this is Shulong…”

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly raised and locked onto Ji Li:

"Let's fight, and let me see if you are qualified to judge my sword."

Ji Li grinned and dropped the plastic steel sword in his hand:
"Do not hit."

Ji Ruoxi was stunned.

And Ji Li turned and left:
"You should calm down and think carefully about whether you are a little too naive, little girl..."

【傲慢+19】

The hurricane roared, Ji Li turned around suddenly, and the bright red mycelium in his hand turned into a sharp blade, colliding with the attack from behind.

Poof! ! ! !

The strong wind blew up the fallen leaves in all directions. Ji Ruoxi's face was cold, and the plastic steel knife in her hand scraped against Ji Li's bloody mycelium blade, producing sparks:

"Does this have to be the case before you're willing to take action?"
