Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Jiang Ting stood beside the hovercar, looking at her and Lu Jue, then at Jin Lan bowing to see them off.

If he still can't guess why Jiang Zhixia came to Hailan Star, then he's wasted his position as an Imperial General.

Jin Lan was also stunned: "Your Highness? What's wrong...?"

Jiang Ting didn't even glance at him, coldly raising his hand to open the car door and look at Jiang Zhixia.

"Get in the car."

Jiang Zhixia felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, so she timidly touched her nose and pulled Lu Jue into the car.

The hovercar rose up and flew straight away.

Jin Lan stood there for a long time before shaking her head with a sigh.

The royal family truly spoils this useless female princess to an extreme degree.

Even when they go out for a soak in a hot spring, the older brother has to come and pick them up personally.

……

Jiang Zhixia, who was spoiled rotten, was punished by being made to stand as soon as she returned to the palace.

Yes, standing as punishment.

She stood at the door, on the verge of tears.

She was dragged out and made to stand facing the wall in the corridor like a primary school student to reflect on her mistakes. She had never experienced anything like this in either of her lives!

She can't run away yet!

Because Lu Jue and Jiang Ting were inside.

She couldn't stand it for more than three minutes, so she peeked through the crack in the door and pressed her ear against it to listen carefully.

...Why is there no sound at all?

There was absolutely no sound from inside the door.

Jiang Ting quietly observed Lu Jue.

Lu Jue tensed up under his gaze.

He knew perfectly well that the man in front of him was not only the princess's brother, but also the strongest young man in the empire, and his former role model at the military academy.

Jiang Ting remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Tell me, why did you come here with the princess?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Lu Jue's eyes.

Jiang Ting's cold voice was full of warning: "Think carefully before you answer. If you dare to tell a lie, I can make sure you never see her again."

Lu Jue remained silent for a moment before speaking the truth.

"The princess said she wanted to overturn the verdict against the Lu family."

Jiang Ting lowered his brows, his dark eyes filled with unreadable emotions.

"Reverse the verdict? She trusts you so much, is she sure the Lu family is innocent?"

Lu Jue suddenly looked up and met his gaze.

"The Lu family would never betray the empire."

The moment those words were spoken, an overwhelming sense of pressure from SS-level mental power washed over us!

The air in the entire room seemed to freeze.

Lu Jue gritted his teeth and endured it.

He is an S-rank, while Jiang Ting is an SS-rank. The difference of just one rank clearly shows the disparity in their strength.

The oppressive feeling from those in higher positions almost made him instinctively want to bow his head and submit.

But he didn't move; his expression only grew more and more serious.

Jiang Ting stared at the wolf boy in front of him. Despite being so oppressed that he could hardly breathe, the boy still stubbornly straightened his back.

He's a promising talent—young, gifted, and resilient.

He suppressed the inexplicable jealousy in his heart and withdrew his mental energy.

What did you all do today?

Lu Jue remained silent.

Jiang Ting spoke again, his tone forceful: "Why aren't you answering?"

Lu Jue lowered his head: "The princess did not allow me to tell anyone."

Jiang Ting closed his eyes.

And loyalty.

He opened his eyes and said calmly, "I know she wants to free you from your status as a slave and solve the problem at its root by investigating what happened to the Lu family back then."

Lu Jue remained silent.

Jiang Ting looked him over, the fire in his heart burning brighter and brighter.

Is he really that worth her trouble?

For his sake, she secretly traveled alone to Hailan Star to investigate the Lu family among the nobles. In order to give him freedom, she resolutely refused to hand over control of the chip.

"Does she really like you that much?"

That's insane! He can be jealous of others too.

Lu Jue froze upon hearing this.

He looked at Jiang Ting blankly, his face full of helplessness: "General, you've misunderstood. The princess didn't mean that to me."

He was stuttering, and a blush crept up from his neck.

Jiang Ting was taken aback by his appearance.

He didn't know?

He looked at Lu Jue, whose face was gradually turning red, with a strange expression.

The fire of jealousy dissipated almost instantly.

He still thought Lu Jue and Jiang Zhixia had been together for a long time...

After all, it is quite normal for a female to have several servants by her side, especially for aristocratic females.

Although Jiang Zhixia had been chasing after that Bai guy and had no other males around her, it was hard to imagine that Jiang Zhixia had never touched Lu Jue, who suddenly appeared and treated her so specially and even admitted that he liked her.

Jiang Ting suddenly chuckled.

I'll give you a choice.

Lu Jue raised his head.

"Either I help you regain your normal orc identity, but you must promise to stay away from her and never appear near her again in this lifetime."

"Or, you can come with me to the military as a slave," Jiang Ting raised his hand and pointed to himself. "Within three years, if you climb to my position, you can stay by her side."

Lu Jue was stunned.

……

Outside the door, Jiang Zhixia bent over and listened for a long time, but heard nothing.

Is the sound insulation really that good?

Just as I was wondering whether I should change positions, the door suddenly opened!

"!"

She staggered and fell forward, crashing into a warm embrace.

A familiar, chilly aura wafted over me.

She stiffly raised her head, meeting Jiang Ting's deep eyes.

"B-Big Brother..." She quickly broke free, smiling shyly at him, "Are you finished talking?"

Jiang Ting released her, letting her leave his embrace.

"Um."

Lu Jue stepped out from behind him.

Jiang Zhixia looked and said: "Hmm, his arms and legs are still intact, and there are no injuries on his face."

She breathed a sigh of relief and took Lu Jue's hand, "Big brother, I'll be going now, bye!"

Jiang Ting watched her drag the person away as if fleeing, then turned and went back to his room without much expression.

Jiang Zhixia pulled Lu Jue and ran back to the room.

After closing the door, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

She was terrified; she thought Jiang Ting was going to scold her, but luckily she escaped quickly.

She turned her head and leaned closer to Lu Jue. "What were you two talking about?"

Lu Jue looked at her without saying a word.

"What's wrong? What did your brother say to you?"

Lu Jue hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and looked up at her.

"Princess, could you please hand over control of my chip to His Highness?"

Jiang Zhixia: "???"

She thought she had misheard, and rubbed her ears. "What did you say?"
