Jiang Ting applied the medicine spray to her neck, while Lu Jue gently pushed it away with his fingertips.

Caught in the middle, Jiang Zhixia glanced at the large, resentful-looking wolfhound on her left, then at her expressionless but extremely tense older brother on her right, and her lips twitched.

The two of you seem to have a good rapport.

"Don't be angry, this was an accident. Su Chen wasn't conscious at the time..."

Jiang Ting gave a faint "hmm".

It was easy to guess that the male deer hadn't done it on purpose, but he was a little jealous.

Lu Jue was also jealous.

After applying the medicine, he obediently hugged the princess and took a deep breath of the familiar fragrance to calm himself down.

Jiang Ting coldly looked away.

That wolf cub used to be very fierce and bared its teeth outside, completely different from how it is now.

He stood up and gave a word of advice.

"have a good rest."

After saying that, he turned and left.

He needed to find someone to study that little white flower and also to look up some information he had recently found about high-ranking females; he didn't have time to argue here.

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Lu Jue's gaze was too obvious; he was staring straight at her.

Jiang Zhixia helplessly patted the big wolfhound's head and leaned over to peck him on the lips.

"Don't be angry anymore."

The moment Lu Jue was touched so lightly, the grievance in his eyes vanished instantly, and his ears began to burn.

He shook his head: "Princess, you're not angry..."

He felt that he had really been spoiled.

Even if it were another female's husband, such jealousy wouldn't necessarily be appeased.

But the princess spoiled him.

Jiang Zhixia glanced at the time and felt somewhat guilty.

"You finally get a day off, and it's gone just like that..."

There are only four hours left until the end of the holiday.

Lu Jue licked his lips and carefully pulled the princess down to lie down.

"Princess, there are only a few hours left. May you take a nap?"

Jiang Zhixia looked at the large wolfhound that had crawled into bed, and nodded with a flushed face.

It's the middle of the night now, and Lu Jue has training tomorrow, so he really should rest for a while.

Seeing that she had agreed, Lu Jue happily pulled her closer to him and closed his eyes contentedly.

Listening to the steady, strong heartbeat beside her ear, Jiang Zhixia fell asleep without realizing it.

……

Su Chen had a dream.

In his dream, he gently kissed the princess amidst a rich fragrance.

He licked her lips, her chin, her slender neck, and that fair collarbone...

The princess smiled gently throughout, indulging his behavior.

He was completely captivated by that smile...

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.

He was stunned for several seconds before realizing that he was in a royal palace, surrounded by an unfamiliar room.

The contents of his dream flashed through his mind. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, took a deep breath, and covered his face.

Those... weren't dreams! They were all real!

His offensive behavior towards the princess was all true!

The only difference from the dream was that the princess was unconscious at the time.

Su Chen's ears burned, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to bury himself in shame.

How could he do such a thing while the princess was unconscious?

The deer-like male, who knew when to advance and when to retreat, covered his face and fell into deep self-loathing.

It took him quite a while to calm down.

The fact that he is now in the palace means that someone has taken him and the princess away.

How is the princess now?

When Jiang Zhixia woke up, the person next to her was empty.

She sat up groggily and rubbed her messy hair.

Lu Jue must have gone back to the military headquarters; he didn't wake her up when he left.

She slowly climbed out of bed, quickly washed up, and pushed open the door to go outside.

Go check if Su Chen has woken up.

I don't know what happened to him yesterday.

Su Chen had already woken up.

He was trying to escape reality by hiding under the covers, but certain images kept replaying in his mind.

The details of his outrageous actions are terrifyingly clear.

The door opened with a knock.

I subconsciously turned my head and met a pair of smiling eyes.

The princess stood at the door, craning her neck to look inside, and a bright smile appeared on her face the moment her eyes met hers.

Jiang Zhixia's eyes lit up when she saw him.

"You're awake!"

Su Chen's back stiffened, and under the princess's gaze, he struggled to sit up. The blanket slipped off, revealing his face full of unconcealed panic.

"Princess, I'm alright, but what about you? You...you fainted..."

Jiang Zhixia sat down by his bedside and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just took a nap. But you, you were unconscious for even longer than me."

With that shake of the head, several red marks of varying shades inevitably appeared at the collar.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

That's...that's the mark he left behind?!

Last night... such heavy marks were left behind?!

His eyes widened in surprise.

Jiang Zhixia followed his gaze and touched her neck before realizing what he had seen.

Looking up, she saw the usually gentle and refined Su Chen, her ears and even the corners of her eyes began to turn red, and she looked blank.

She couldn't help but laugh, finding it quite amusing.

She clutched her neck and deliberately sighed, "Su Chen, I never imagined you'd be like this..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Su Chen's face turn pale instantly, and a thin layer of tears welled up in his eyes.

Now it was Jiang Zhixia's turn to be stunned.

He... he's about to cry?!

I only intended to tease him to avoid embarrassment.

Ultimately, the blame lies with her. When a female uses her mental power to soothe a male, it naturally causes various changes in the male. It was because she didn't understand her own abilities that the situation spiraled out of control.

Besides, nothing really happened.

But she almost made someone cry!

Jiang Zhixia didn't dare tease her anymore and quickly waved her hands: "Hey, hey, don't do that! I was just joking! Nothing happened last night, this mark will disappear in a day or two, it's nothing."

Su Chen lowered his head in remorse, his voice hoarse: "I'm sorry, Princess."

He had just recently condemned Jiang Ting's behavior, but now he himself had done the same thing, or even worse.

Without the female's consent, ...

He lowered his eyes, looking pitiful.

Jiang Zhixia sighed inwardly.

Su Chen was thoughtful and had a stubborn personality, so she couldn't reason with him and simply changed the subject.

"How are you feeling now? Has there been any change in your mental strength? Did the flower you ate yesterday have any effect?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

He recalled the little flower he had eaten and found it quite magical.

It grew from the princess's body. Although it was a very small flower, she lost her mind after swallowing it.

He closed his eyes and examined his spiritual power.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhixia with some helplessness.

"Princess...it's healed! My mental strength has indeed been restored!"

The dried-up and cracked spiritual energy is now fluctuating steadily. Judging from the feeling, it should have climbed from Rank D to Rank B!

This is outrageous!

Last time there were only a few signs, but this time it's been repaired to Grade B!

He was acutely aware of the extent to which his mental strength had been damaged.

How is this possible?!

……

Meanwhile, in the underground research room of the military council district, the atmosphere was heavy.

Jiang Ting sat in the main seat, his gaze cold.

"What do you mean by 'immature spiritual entity'?"

A row of military therapists projected the final data analysis onto the screen, their voices filled with astonishment.

"This flower contains the spiritual power of the female."

"That's right, but it's different from the mental power of ordinary females; that power is distinctive."

"However, its current state is that of a juvenile female aged 5 to 10 years, not yet mature."

The more Jiang Ting listened, the more somber his gaze became.

"Iconic?"

What is this?

The head therapist paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts, before slowly speaking.

"Your Highness, do you believe in destiny?"

Jiang Ting frowned slightly.

The therapist continued, "The higher the female's level, the more demanding she is of her partner. This demandingness usually manifests as a high level of spirituality and compatibility with the male."

"But if it reaches a certain level, it will become a symbol. Except for the destined male, even if the other party's level and spiritual compatibility are very high, the female will not accept it."

"And targets soothed by such females will, like males after a contract has been formed, resist the mental power of other females."

"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this flower is probably in this situation."

The healers were almost bursting with curiosity. If His Highness hadn't forbidden them from asking too many questions, they would have loved to know whose spirit this was!

When did the Empire ever have females of this caliber?!

This is practically surpassing even the Queen Mother!

Jiang Ting frowned slightly, having roughly understood.

No wonder no one reacted to Jiang Zhixia's unique fragrance.

This means that he and Jiang Zhixia are destined partners.

But he wasn't particularly happy.

Ever since Jiang Zhixia told him the secret of the spiritual body, he has been researching related information.

After much investigation, they finally found clues in some classified files.

The Empire has had females of higher rank than SS.

Historically, the rank of the female was not clearly recorded, but her ability to soothe was even far superior to that of the queen.

Her situation is somewhat similar to Jiang Zhixia's.

Because she was so special, the relevant information was permanently sealed, and even he had to investigate it for a long time.

That female was his biological mother.

Jiang Ting waved for the therapists to leave.

He looked down at the file in his hand, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

His biological mother's fate... wasn't good at all.

The computer suddenly vibrated.

Looking down, I saw a message from Jiang Zhixia.

[Big brother! I did it!]

As Jiang Ting looked at the message, he could almost picture the female's joyful face.

He gave a very faint smile, then got up and walked out.

……

Jiang Ting pushed open the door and saw Jiang Zhixia sitting on the edge of the bed, excitedly saying something.

Su Chen sat beside her, his features gentle and his lips curved in a smile.

Hearing the noise at the door, Jiang Zhixia turned around and saw her older brother, her smile widening even further.

"Big brother! I did it! I really restored Su Chen's mental strength! He's probably at level B now!"

Jiang Ting slowly walked in and calmly hummed in agreement.

She raised her eyes and her gaze fell on the male deer.

If the research results are correct, then Su Chen has been comforted by Jiang Zhixia more than once...

He closed his eyes.

very good.

As expected, this male deer was also targeted by Jiang Zhixia's spiritual entity.
