System: [...Are you sure?]

The technique of continuous teleportation was only used once on Jiang Lian, and that time Jiang Lian was almost drained dry.

Jiang Zhixia can't just rely on being the chosen one and cause all this trouble, can she?

Jiang Zhixia, who insisted on doing things this way, said: "I'm sure, hurry up."

The system had nothing to say, sighed silently, and began to mobilize its energy.

Its stored Qi Luck Energy is almost depleted, and what we're using now is Jiang Zhixia's. How much or how little we use is actually irrelevant to it.

But even it could sense how weak Jiang Zhixia, this stubborn girl, was now.

I simply can't persuade them.

The white light shone again.

……

A white light exploded in the base's supply area.

Jiang Zhixia staggered to her feet and looked up to see her father's stern face.

He was staring at Mo Chenyuan, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

The old professor next to him was already drenched in sweat.

He glanced at His Majesty and then at Mo Chenyuan.

His Majesty has been staring at Mo Chenyuan for a while now. Could it be that he doesn't like this kid?

No way, he thinks this kid is quite handsome and has a very honest personality.

Mo Chenyuan himself remained calm, showing no reaction even after being stared at by Wu Zhan for a long time.

However, his slightly taut jawline betrayed that he was not as composed as he appeared.

Am I going to get into trouble again?

Lu Jue and General Jiang Ting of the Empire have already caused him a lot of trouble, all because of Jiang Zhixia.

What's the reason this time?

Jiang Zhixia's appearance broke the eerie silence.

"Xiaxia!"

Wu Zhan immediately shifted his attention away from Mo Chenyuan, and after the white light completely dissipated, he walked a few steps to his daughter.

Upon closer inspection of her complexion, Wu Zhanshun became anxious: "Xiaxia, why do you look so pale?"

Jiang Zhixia forced a smile: "Father, I'm fine. There's just one last trip before it's over."

She patted her father's arm, then turned to look at Mo Chenyuan, "What are the specific quantities of the special alloys needed for the modification materials?"

Mo Chenyuan had just escaped the Emperor's terrifying gaze and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing her question, his gaze swept lightly across her face.

The female's face had turned somewhat pale, and even her lips had faded a bit.

It was a pale pink half an hour ago.

He looked away and walked to the pile of materials, pointing them out to her one by one.

"This alloy requires three hundred units, and this... and this..."

Each time he pointed to something, Jiang Zhixia would raise her hand to collect it, and the materials would disappear into thin air one after another.

As she reached the end, her legs suddenly gave way.

Mo Chenyuan instinctively reached out and caught her.

Beneath my palm was an arm much thinner than mine, taut and tense because of my touch.

He quickly released his grip, frowning slightly: "You..."

"Thanks."

Jiang Zhixia realized what was happening, quickly thanked him, and quietly turned to look at her father.

Wu Zhan was talking to the old professor with his back to her and didn't notice them.

She breathed a sigh of relief, put the last few pieces of material into her spatial storage, and then lowered her voice to say, "Don't make a fuss, I'm fine."

Mo Chenyuan lowered his eyes, taking in her attempt to conceal her true intentions.

The hand that had just been briefly touched curled slightly, its fingertips unconsciously rubbing together.

He couldn't help himself and asked in a low voice, "Does this teleportation ability deplete something within you?"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with considerable surprise.

How could this guy even notice?

"That's not true," she stubbornly insisted. "I just finished fighting on the front lines; that's why I'm exhausted!"

Seeing that she was clearly avoiding the topic, Mo Chenyuan opened his mouth but didn't press the matter further.

"……knew."

After collecting all the materials, Jiang Zhixia reluctantly ran to her father to say goodbye.

"Father, I must go."

Looking at his daughter's deathly pale face, Wu Zhan hesitated for a long time before swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Before he came to the front lines, the Empress Dowager gave him many instructions.

Don't interfere with your daughter's decisions. If she doesn't say anything, it means she can handle it.

This is his daughter growing up, and he can't stop her just because he's worried.

"...Then be careful, and if anything happens, prioritize protecting yourself."

Jiang Zhixia smiled and said, "Mm!"

She closed her eyes and said to the system, "Let's go!"

The system sighed.

Why do I feel like I've been reduced to a mere means of transportation?

Teleporting back for the second time.

But this time, Jiang Zhixia suddenly felt dizzy.

The teleportation consumed too much energy, her consciousness almost snapped off, and she fell backward uncontrollably.

"Xiaxia!" Wu Zhan exclaimed and rushed over to help her.

Someone is faster than him.

Mo Chenyuan's body moved faster than his mind; he hadn't even realized what was happening before he started.

He strode forward and caught her steadily.

His eyes held a look of panic as he stared at the female lying on his arm, his expression filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

What's wrong with her?

At that moment, the system instantly perked up.

【! ! ! 】

You asked for this!

The teleportation function has already been activated. I didn't want to absorb your luck; you came here on your own! Don't blame me!

A burst of white light engulfed the two people.

Jiang Zhixia felt dizzy and couldn't even open her eyes.

In a daze, she seemed to hear that damned system let out a sigh.

It really requires the energy of someone with high luck...

After the white light dissipated, only Mo Chenyuan remained in the same spot.

He remained in the same position without moving.

When Wu Zhan saw his daughter disappear, his face turned extremely pale.

Xiaxia could barely stand!

That "teleportation" is definitely suspicious!

He clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it.

His daughter has her own ideas, and he can't interfere in everything.

It really hurts.

He sighed heavily and turned to leave.

Suddenly, an old professor exclaimed from behind.

"Kid! Are you alright?!"

When Wu Zhan turned around, the leopard-like male who had been supporting his daughter suddenly swayed to the side.

With a "thud," it fell to the ground!

The old professor rushed over in a flurry, anxiously trying to pry open Mo Chenyuan's eyelids.

"Why, why did you faint?"

Wu Zhan looked equally bewildered.

Yes, he was walking briskly just now, how did he suddenly faint?

……

Jiang Zhixia initially thought she would faint, and even thought:

This is bad; she still has to get all the materials out.

As a result, she not only didn't faint, but when she came back, she landed directly on—hard, firm pectoral muscles.

"?"

Lu Jue is very perceptive.

He observed the princess's teleportation several times, discovered the pattern, and then stood directly where the princess disappeared and waited.

Therefore, he successfully caught Jiang Zhixia, who appeared out of nowhere.

When Jiang Zhixia was tightly encircled by a pair of arms, the familiar, crisp breath made her realize in a second who it was.

"Lu Jue?"

She endured the dizziness from the teleportation, raised her head, and met the familiar gray-blue eyes.

When Lu Jue saw her, he was first taken aback, and then intense anxiety welled up in his eyes.
