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

The lead therapist was scratching his head in frustration when he turned and saw who it was.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

A group of people bowed in unison.

Jiang Zhixia waved her hand and quickly walked to the bedside: "Su Chen, how are you feeling?"

Su Chen looked at her, his gaze softening. "Princess, I'm fine. I'm sorry for troubling you."

"What do you mean 'nothing'!" a young healer exclaimed excitedly. "This is a major discovery! If mental damage can really be repaired, then there will be hope for wounded males on the battlefield! We might even be able to research how to increase mental strength levels!"

Jiang Zhixia's heart tightened.

She looked at the group of therapists with gleaming eyes, then at Su Chen, who remained calm.

Oh no, this has blown up.

"Princess?" Su Chen called to her softly.

Jiang Zhixia snapped out of her daze and forced a smile: "I heard your mental strength is showing signs of recovery, that's a good thing. Could it be that your natural recovery ability is strong?"

"Impossible!" the old healer declared firmly. "The spiritual power of the Deer Clan is inherently fragile; there's absolutely no possibility of it repairing itself! There must be another reason!"

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

The "reason" you mentioned is a bit tense now.

She herself didn't know how she did it.

Jiang Ting, who had been paying attention to her, suddenly spoke up.

"alright."

"The inspection ends here. The data is sealed and must not be disclosed to anyone."

The therapists looked at each other, and finally bowed in unison, unwilling to give up.

"Yes, Your Highness."

A group of people reluctantly packed up their equipment and filed out.

The room finally quieted down.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Zhixia: "Princess, I'm really fine, don't worry."

Jiang Zhixia sat down beside his bed and carefully examined his complexion.

She is indeed better than when she was in a coma. Although she is still a bit pale, she looks much more energetic.

She wanted to ask what had happened, but remembering that Jiang Ting was still in the room, she hesitated and closed her mouth.

Jiang Ting wouldn't miss her expression, so he didn't say anything and turned to leave cleanly and decisively.

With the door closed, Jiang Zhixia, who had been worrying about how to get her older brother away, breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen's gaze flickered slightly upon seeing this scene.

The princess seems to be avoiding the prince?

Once she was sure the person was out of sight, Jiang Zhixia leaned closer and whispered, "Su Chen, how was your mental strength restored? What did it feel like at the time?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Chen leaned against the headboard and thought for a moment.

"At that time, the princess held my hand and continuously transmitted her spiritual power to comfort me. My spiritual power became active, and then the broken part was glued back together a little bit."

Jiang Zhixia's heart skipped a beat.

The little white flower first appeared after she took the initiative to release her spiritual power to comfort Lu Jue.

At that time, she didn't understand anything and just acted on instinct. Then that little thing appeared. Even during the later insectoid attack, the power that burst out from her body was also driven by the will to survive and released on instinct.

Now the little white flower has grown into seven, its appetite has increased, and its abilities seem to have also improved.

Su Chen tentatively asked, "Did the princess make it?"

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

Does her denial of it make any difference?

Jiang Ting probably only had suspicions, but how could Su Chen, as the one being comforted, not notice that something was wrong?

After all, there were only her and Su Chen in the room at the time.

She could only try to smooth things over: "Maybe, I don't know exactly what happened," she paused, then earnestly pleaded, "Until I figure this out, could you please not tell anyone? Not even the royal family."

A hint of confusion appeared in Su Chen's eyes.

The ability to repair a male's damaged mental energy is unprecedented in the empire. If true, the princess may become the most unique female in history.

Why hide something that's clearly a good thing?

Although confused, seeing the genuine pleading in the princess's eyes, he nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I won't tell anyone."

Jiang Zhixia relaxed slightly. "Thank you."

She put the topic aside and looked at Su Chen seriously again.

"The Su family is completely ruined now, and Su Tongwei doesn't seem to have much longer to live. Su Chen, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Chen was taken aback.

after?

From as far back as he could remember, all he wanted was to destroy the Su family and kill Su Tongwei. Now that the Su family had fallen, the poison in Su Tongwei's body would make her die a horrible death.

He did it, and then what?

He had never thought about this question.

However... did the princess know about his resentment towards the Su family from the beginning? Could she have also guessed his shady methods?

He poisoned his mother, ruthlessly killed so many of his clansmen, destroyed all the legacy left by his father, and even turned on himself in the end...

He lowered his eyes, not daring to look into the eyes of the gentle and beautiful female before him.

Jiang Zhixia felt a pang of anxiety when she saw his expression suddenly darken.

Oh no, did I say something that made him depressed?

She quickly grabbed his wrist and gripped it tightly. "Su Chen, how about this? If I can do it, I'll find a way to help you restore your mental strength. You have to promise me one thing, okay?"

Su Chen looked at her blankly.

The princess wanted to keep a secret, and he would rather die than tell it.

What else does he possess that would warrant such a request from the princess?

Jiang Zhixia looked intently into his eyes.

"Once Su Tongwei dies, what you need to do will be completely over. Think carefully about what you want to do, and then do it. Don't stay in the same place."

She didn't want Su Chen to live in the shadow of the Su family for the rest of his life.

She didn't know how he was disfigured or how he lost an ear in the original story, but she was certain it was related to the Su family.

His fate can be changed if he can completely escape the shadow of the Su family.

Su Chen is exceptionally talented in drug development; he shouldn't remain in the shadows, waiting for the female lead to offer a few lukewarm words of concern to influence him.

He can be his own salvation.

Su Chen's eyelashes trembled.

What he wanted to do...

His gaze unconsciously fell on Jiang Zhixia's face.

He didn't have any particular desire to do anything. If he had to say something... he was jealous of Lu Jue, and he was also jealous of Jiang Ting.

He had witnessed firsthand how much the princess favored Lu Jue, and Jiang Ting, whether as an adopted son of the royal family or a general of the empire, had enough strength and resources to rightfully protect her.

He wanted to stay by the princess's side.

But he has nothing now.

"Su Chen?" Jiang Zhixia tilted her head when he didn't speak. "Is it okay?"

Su Chen snapped out of his daze, looking into her clear eyes, his own eyes trembling slightly.

He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and softly replied, "Okay."

No, there's still a chance!

My talent in treatment and research is still there. If my mental strength can be restored and I can do this to the best of my ability, I will have the qualifications to stay by the princess's side!

Yes, he still has this option to try!

Jiang Zhixia didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing the sudden light in his eyes, she smiled too.

See, although she doesn't know how to treat psychological trauma, once a person has something they want to do, they have the motivation to live.

What could be more important than survival?

……

Jiang Ting stood in the garden, lost in thought with an indifferent expression.

What exactly went wrong?

Jiang Zhixia is hiding something from him because he crossed the line first, which is understandable.

But it was obvious that she was keeping it a secret from everyone, including the Empress and His Majesty.

Furthermore, after learning that she was an adopted son, she never mentioned it again, as if she was deliberately avoiding the matter.

What is she afraid of?

Having had a good night's sleep, Jiang Huai, with his hair all messy, strolled casually through the garden.

Upon seeing the man deep in thought in the garden, he instinctively stood up straight.

Huh? What's up with you here, big brother?

He tentatively took a few steps forward, then stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Wow! The empire's strongest general, his ever-vigilant elder brother, is actually spacing out?!

He's already so close, but my older brother hasn't reacted at all!

Jiang Huai said that his older brother's recent performance has really surprised him.

Just then, Jiang Ting glanced at him indifferently.

That one look was incredibly intimidating, and Jiang Huai immediately straightened his back, leaned closer, and chuckled.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Jiang Ting looked at him silently for a moment, then asked, "Jiang Zhixia, have you been spending more time with her lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Huai smugly tossed his hair a couple of times, his face beaming with pride, "Of course! This girl loves me, her second brother, the most. She tells me everything!"

"Really?" Jiang Ting asked casually, "Did you know about her second awakening?"

Jiang Huai's smile froze.

"W-what?" He stared wide-eyed, furious. "Second awakening?! When did that happen?! How come I didn't know?!"

He was shocked, he felt wronged, and he was indignant!

"That brat! She didn't tell me about something this important! Isn't she supposed to be my number one friend?!"

Jiang Ting casually shifted his gaze, it was unclear where his confidence came from.

Judging from this reaction, Jiang Zhixia is probably even wary of Jiang Huai.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Zhixia returned to her bedroom from Su Chen's place, ready to rest.

The door was pushed open with a bang.

Jiang Huai stormed in, grabbed her shoulder, and shook her back and forth.

"Why didn't you tell me!"

Jiang Zhixia was dizzy from being shaken: "Second...Second Brother, stop...What do you want to tell me?"

"Why didn't you tell me about your second awakening!" Jiang Huai gritted his teeth, on the verge of exploding with grievance. "Am I still your dearest second brother?!"

Jiang Zhixia struggled to break free from his grasp and hugged her weak and helpless self tightly.

"Huh? You didn't know?"

Honestly, she didn't intentionally hide this from her second brother!

Jiang Huai looked grief-stricken: "Mother said you were ashamed and forbade anyone else to tell anyone, so how was I supposed to know?!"

Jiang Zhixia retorted, "Am I wrong to tell people not to spread this? He's only at B-rank after a second awakening, how embarrassing! What's there to brag about?"

Jiang Huai reached out and poked his sister's forehead, his tone serious: "What's so shameful about this? You used to be a C-level female, that's because the lowest limit for a female's mental strength is only C. In reality, you weren't even as good as C! Now you're B-level, that's a huge improvement, okay!"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned: "..."

So this is a compliment to her?

"Second Brother," she took a deep breath and said sincerely, "you don't know how to comfort people, so you don't have to."
