Lu Jue lowered his head slightly, unsure whether he had done the right thing.

He didn't dare to use force just now, otherwise the other person would have broken at least two bones.

What if the princess and the male only had a temporary argument and made up afterward?

Offending the male your master favors will have dire consequences.

A hand reached out and ruffled his hair.

"Well done."

The wolf ears on Lu Jue's head stood up instantly.

Jiang Zhixia casually petted it, feeling like she was petting a dog, which was quite interesting.

Lu Jue blushed and subtly lowered his head to make it easier for her to touch him. "Master, is there anything else I need to do?"

Jiang Zhixia, feeling deflated, awkwardly withdrew her hand: "...You should change that way of addressing me first."

She couldn't adapt.

Lu Jue was confused, but obediently asked, "...Princess?"

Jiang Zhixia was satisfied.

After a while, she changed her clothes and took Lu Jue's hand to go out.

Lu Jue, wearing the mask she had just given him, boarded the hovercar without saying a word.

Jiang Zhixia was worried that if he went out with his tattoo on, he would be hurt by the strange looks from the people around him, but the boy silently and obediently put it on, without even asking where he was going.

He wasn't afraid she would sell him off.

We arrived at the Imperial Central Hospital.

The princess's pink hovercar was particularly eye-catching. Many medical staff and patients guessed that the princess was coming just by looking at the car, and couldn't help but crane their necks to see.

Jiang Zhixia led Lu Jue out of the car, her chin held high with an air of arrogance, and stepped into the hospital.

Throughout the journey, everyone's gaze was intense.

Jiang Zhixia was somewhat confused when she caught these gazes.

Although she was a princess, the original owner was used to showing off and many people must have seen her before. Why was she staring at him?

She thought it was unusual for a female to be there.

After all, the Empire's various treatment centers are prepared for males, while females enjoy the Empire's policy of providing door-to-door physical examinations and medical services, and rarely appear in hospitals.

She didn't take it seriously and led Lu Jue directly into the VIP elevator to the top floor.

The moment the elevator doors closed, the lobby erupted in chaos.

"Wow, is that the Third Princess? She looks so much better in person than on the device!"

"Who's holding hands with the princess? Could it be her future husband?"

"Didn't the princess say in the video that it was being arranged? It can't be decided so soon..."

Jiang Zhixia was unaware that because of the video from her birthday party, which went viral, many single men were curious about her, the princess who protected her husband, and gossiped about her.

Jiang Zhixia, who was at the center of the gossip, didn't think there was anything wrong with her holding Lu Jue's hand.

In the face of her 26-year-old soul, Lu Jue was just a child; holding hands and such was purely out of a desire to help others.

I walked all the way to the deepest part and knocked on the door.

She had already made arrangements before coming, and the Central Hospital had arranged for a top-notch therapist to receive her.

She wanted to have Lu Jue's eyes checked.

"Enter."

Pushing open the door, a man in a white robe was looking down at the screen.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and then paused for a moment.

"Your Highness." The man rose and bowed.

Jiang Zhixia was also taken aback when she saw him.

The man had fair skin, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and exceptionally handsome features. He exuded a clean and gentle aura.

Goodness... such good looks?

She snapped out of her daze and pointed at Lu Jue: "Don't be so polite, give him a full check-up."

Lu Jue then realized that his master wanted to treat his eyes during this trip.

His voice was strained: "Princess... my eyes are fine, they'll probably be better in a few days."

How could I, a mere slave, be worthy?

Jiang Zhixia noticed his nervousness and gently reassured him, "It's okay, since you're already here, let me show you."

Su Chen was surprised that the Third Princess would come in person.

Upon receiving the princess's appointment, he assumed it was the same as usual, with the male coming on his own after the female in the house made the appointment.

He looked at Lu Jue and noticed something was wrong with his eyes. "Take off your mask. I'll take you to the monitoring room for a checkup."

Lu Jue looked in the direction of Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia: "Listen to the doctor."

Only then did he take off his mask.

The dark tattoo was revealed, and Su Chen's gaze paused almost imperceptibly before quickly returning to normal.

He was originally a slave.

He had seen that video. Just yesterday he said he wanted to respect the husband, but today he broke the slave's eye.

However, being able to bring slaves for medical treatment already makes them much better off than most females.

I don't know if she's telling the truth about wanting to be good to the rightful husband... Recently, the mother-in-law has been eager to push him to run for the position of the third princess's rightful husband in order to climb into the royal family.

Lu Jue quietly lay down in the testing chamber.

Jiang Zhixia stood to the side, watching the handsome doctor operate on the screen with his well-defined knuckles.

Su Chen frowned, then leaned closer nervously: "How are you? Are you feeling alright?"

A very faint, yet gentle and comforting fragrance wafted over.

Su Chen's eyes flickered. "Princess, his injuries are all superficial. S-rank males have strong physiques, so he'll recover in a few days."

"Where are your eyes?"

"His eyes are not abnormal. He can't see clearly because his mental energy has been suppressed for a long time without being calmed, causing violent fluctuations, which makes it difficult for him to recover after being injured."

Jiang Zhixia fell silent.

She kept saying things she didn't actually say.

Su Chen was about to say, "It would be best to give him more mental energy to soothe him," but then he remembered that this person had a well-known C-level mental energy.

Moreover, few females are willing to appease slaves.

So he changed his tune: "The princess can give him suppressants."

Jiang Zhixia knows about this thing.

The Empire developed inhibitors hundreds of years ago. If a male cannot find a female to form a contract with, he can purchase one from a hospital by providing proof of abnormal fluctuations in his mental energy.

Furthermore, it can only be purchased from hospitals, because an overdose of the inhibitor can also lead to the death of the orc.

Jiang Zhixia recalled that the effects of the inhibitors were graded from high to low.

She's a complete novice now and can't offer Lu Jue any comfort, so she can only let him take drugs.

"Okay, drive the best one." She waved her hand dismissively.

Su Chen calmly lowered his head and recorded on the light tablet: "Advanced inhibitor, 30,000 gold coins per vial."

Jiang Zhixia: "...How much?"

Su Chen: "Thirty thousand gold coins."

Jiang Zhixia fell silent.

She only had 70,000 gold coins left in her pocket.

One inhibitor only works for one susceptible period, and it costs 30,000 a month... That's damn expensive.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Su Chen assumed that she had changed her mind.

Looking up, he saw the Third Princess, who was always extravagant, move her lips with difficulty.

"Um... can I trade something for it?"

Su Chen: "..."

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhixia led Lu Jue, who was carrying a medicine box, away.

Su Chen stared at her retreating figure with a complex expression.

After everyone left, he looked down at himself.

In the palm of my hand is a piece of crystal.

Resonance crystals are quite valuable.

The third princess traded him for 300,000 gold coins worth of inhibitors.

He stared at it for a while, then, as if possessed, leaned closer and took a sniff.

A very faint fragrance lingered on the crystal, gentle and warm, making one feel inexplicably comfortable.

It smells the same as the Third Princess.

Recalling how she had just blinked her big eyes and discussed changing inhibitors with him without any princess-like airs, Su Chen chuckled.

Are you sick?

A mocking voice suddenly came from behind.
