Chapter 217 What is Your Highness going to do?
Since this is not the Herda Palace, the process of the emperor's bedchamber was kept simple.

After taking a shower, Brian ran into Scarlett's room naked, wrapped himself in a blanket, and went straight into her room.

He lay on Scarlett's bed, blinking his slanted almond-shaped eyes, a thin layer of pink flush on his cheeks, and said earnestly to Scarlett, "Scarlett, be gentle."

Scarlett: “…”

No.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?
One sentence made Scarlett doubt herself.

Was Brian here to serve as a concubine or to get beaten up?
She paused for a moment. She had been quite courageous, but Brian's words left her somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do.

She's on top, he's on the bottom?

Scarlett hesitated, and Brian started to panic. He steeled himself, threw off the blanket, and spread himself out on the bed, defiantly declaring, "Come on! Do it! A little roughness is fine!"

Scarlett: “…”

She wants to change the person.

As soon as the idea came to mind, Scarlett heard a wolf howl.

She paused, then thought, Riley?

Before he could react, another wolf howl burst forth, heart-wrenching and as if it were bursting from the depths of his body, chaotic and exhausted, as if his strength would be exhausted in the next second.

Scarlett got up, wanting to go out and see what was going on.

Brian grabbed her hand. "Don't go."

He looked into Scarlett's eyes and said, "Now it's my turn to sleep with you; you're not allowed to go to anyone else."

Scarlett said, "I'll just go out and take a look, and I'll come back if nothing's wrong."

"No!"

Brian grabbed her firmly.

"Brian, be good, okay? I'll be right back." Scarlett stroked his cheek to comfort him.

Brian frowned. "I don't want to! I want you to stay!"

"Brian, be good." Scarlett pinched his cheek again.

"do not want!"

Brian's brows furrowed deeper, and tears welled in his phoenix eyes. "You're leaving and you won't come back! I don't want you to leave! Scarlett, you said yourself that you'd sleep with whoever you happen to be with, and you haven't slept with me yet! You're not allowed to leave!"

Brian is being a bit unreasonable right now.

He felt uneasy and panicked; his intuition told him that Scarlett was gone and would never come back.

He was determined to keep her with him.

Scarlett was about to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by an anxious voice, "Your Highness, something has happened! Riley has had a mental breakdown."

Scarlett was startled, then broke free from Brian's hand and went out the door.

Brian slumped onto the bed, staring at his empty hands. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he grabbed a pillow and hurled it at her. "Scarlett! You bastard! I hate you so much!!!"

……

……

Scarlett entered Riley's room and saw the scattered needles and Riley, who had reverted to his animal form and was struggling to suppress his pain. A look of horror crossed her eyes, and she turned to Ashley and asked, "What happened? How did Riley suddenly turn into an animal?"

Ashley said blankly, "Riley's injuries haven't healed. His injuries have never healed. He can't use his mental power. Once he uses his mental power, his mind will collapse. Moreover, his mental power is very strange. It's not like an ordinary mental world, but like a poison."

"Someone planted a curse on his body!"

"insanity?"

Scarlett stared intently at Riley.

I watched Riley, who was curled up in pain in the corner, not daring to look up.

She lacks the knowledge in this area and is unaware of the risks involved; now is not the time to pursue this method.

She asked directly, "How do we save Riley? He's having a mental breakdown right now. Does he need to be comforted? Just comforting him is enough."

Holster looked at Riley, then at Scarlett, and said, "The Gu is special. It can't be appeased with ordinary soothing. It needs to enter his body and be purified with spiritual power."

“Purification?” Scarlett was taken aback; she had never heard of this term before.

“Your Highness can think of purification as a special ability; only this ability can save Riley,” Zheko explained from the side.

Scarlett asked incredulously, "You mean that without this ability, Riley would definitely be dead?"

Mo Ting said solemnly, "Judging from Riley's current condition, the Gu poison has probably penetrated deep into his bones. Even an SSS-level mental strength might not be able to save him."

Purification.

Purification.

Scarlett tried to calm herself, attempting to process the two words in her mind. She felt like she'd heard them somewhere before.

Correct.

She had indeed heard of it.

She needs to calm down and think things through.

The room was silent for two seconds.

Riley let out another wolf howl.

Compared to the previous two times.

This time, the sound was low and deep, like the last note of a bell, slowly drawing to a close.

Riley's body is also aging rapidly.

Its white fur had lost its luster, its cold and stern brows and eyes looked exhausted, and its once bright, emerald-like eyes now resembled dusty, sticky balls, cloudy and murky.

His eyelids twitched slightly, each time drooping more and more violently.

It's as if next time, I'll never open my eyes again.

"I know, it's me! My mental power."

Scarlett finally remembered where she had heard that word before.

It was that day, the day she took Gela away from the Herda Palace.

Riley told her that her mental strength was special and could resist any superpower. If she were to awaken a superpower in the future, it might be the strongest superpower in the history of the orcs: purification.

It was because of this statement that she felt comfortable taking Gela away, thus falling into Hill's trap.

Looking back on the previous times she encountered danger, she was always able to regain her senses immediately, and she was not affected by any supernatural abilities.

Riley is right!
That must be it!

Her mental strength is special; she can definitely save Riley.

Scarlett wanted to give it a try.

Riley is not aggressive at all now, so everyone feels comfortable letting her try.

just.

Nobody can stay here.

Because Gu is special, it needs to be mixed with other things.

Everyone left.

Scarlett walked toward Riley.

Riley's eyelids drooped for a long time, and he didn't open them for quite a while.

Scarlett knelt down beside Riley, cupped his face in her hands, pressed her forehead against his, and murmured, "Riley, don't worry, I will definitely save you."

She unleashed her spiritual power.

Not only the space between the eyebrows, but also the palms were released at the same time.

Transparent spiritual energy instantly illuminated Riley's body.

Riley's aged face snapped back to reality. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Scarlett. "Your Highness?"

Scarlett was looking at him too.

Her clear eyes were as brimming as autumn water.

Firm yet gentle.

The spiritual energy grew stronger and stronger, layer upon layer, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon, enveloping Scarlett and Riley together.

Riley's body returned to human form, and his gaunt face reappeared before Scarlett, his dark green eyes shimmering. "Your Highness."

He called out to Scarlett.

Her voice was tender and affectionate, with a subtle tremor at the end.

In this bright space, there were only them.

He could feel Scarlett's breath gradually approaching, hot and burning, making his skin turn slightly red.

He looked at Scarlett and asked knowingly, "What does Your Highness want to do?"

Scarlett said, "Guess."

After saying that, she kissed his cold lips.
