as predicted!
The next second, Lin Chen felt himself floating on a cloud, with no support under his feet.
He tried running a few steps.
But in just 2 seconds, he had already run 500 meters away!
This is absolutely a treasure!
For someone like Lin Chen who frequently travels, these kinds of boots are indispensable.
Lin Chen's smile never stopped after he learned that he had obtained such good equipment.
But he also knew that he needed to get to his next destination as soon as possible.
The system informed him that the next princess to be purified was the Princess and the Pea.
The name "Princess and the Pea" lingered in Lin Chen's mind for a moment.
I suddenly remembered that the princess had a pea under her bed, which would have been uncomfortable even with a dozen mattresses underneath, preventing her from sleeping.
Lin Chen pondered carefully how to purify the princess and the pea.
She is completely different from Rapunzel.
Rapunzel lives alone in a tower, and he can rescue her and purify her corrupted heart with just a flick of his wrist.
However, the Princess and the Pea lived in the royal palace, and Lin Chen dared not imagine the consequences if he rashly barged into her palace.
Lin Chen thought quickly and finally decided that he should make good use of his identity as an Eastern Taoist priest to get close to the Princess and the Pea.
After all, in this world, the identity of an Eastern Taoist priest is something they cannot reach.
When Lin Chen was only one kilometer away from the Princess and the Pea's palace, he dressed himself up a little.
He didn't want his jet-black hair to be exposed to the public so soon.
Because Lin Chen wanted to have a backup plan.
When Lin Chen stepped into the town, the old king was issuing a decree that all the tailors in the world should gather in the royal palace to make the most comfortable mattress for the Princess Pea.
Lin Chen was thrilled to hear this news. It was like someone handing you a pillow when you're sleepy.
He went directly into the royal palace to meet the king.
When the king first saw Lin Chen, he thought he was an assassin who had swaggered in like that.
He quickly shouted for the guards to surround Lin Chen.
Lin Chen explained his purpose to the king.
“Your Majesty, I have come here specifically to address the problem of your beloved daughter, Princess Pea, who is experiencing sleep difficulties due to her overly delicate skin.”
When the king heard that it was to help him resolve his daughter's situation, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
After all, he had always been troubled by his child.
He searched the entire kingdom for tailors, just so he could weave a soft mattress for his precious daughter.
But no matter how skilled the tailor was, he couldn't solve his daughter's problem with her delicate skin.
The guards led Lin Chen to the Princess Pea's bedchamber.

Ye Chen stood outside Princess Pea's bedchamber, feeling a little nervous. He knew the difficulty of this mission; after all, Princess Pea was in the royal palace, heavily guarded, and the slightest carelessness could put her in danger.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and followed the guards into the bedchamber. The bedchamber was lavishly furnished, with pink curtains swaying gently and exuding a faint fragrance. The Princess and the Pea lay on the bed, eyes closed, brows slightly furrowed, seemingly troubled by sleep problems.
Ye Chen approached gently, carefully observing the Princess and the Pea. Her skin was as smooth as white jade, and her long hair cascaded down her pillow like a waterfall. Ye Chen sighed inwardly, "She is indeed a beautiful princess."
"Your Highness, this is a Taoist priest from the East. He is said to be able to solve your sleep problems," the guard said respectfully.
The Princess and the Pea slowly opened her eyes, a hint of doubt and anticipation in them. She looked at Ye Chen and softly asked, "Can you really solve my problem?"
Ye Chen bowed slightly and replied with a smile, "Your Highness, I will do my best. Please tell me first, what exactly is your sleep problem?"
The Princess and the Pea sat up, sighed, and said, "As soon as I lie down in bed, I feel like something is poking me, and I just can't fall asleep. Even if I have a dozen mattresses on me, I'm still uncomfortable."
Ye Chen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Your Highness, I need to check your mattress to see if there's anything wrong with it."
The Princess and the Pea hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Ye Chen walked to the bedside, carefully lifted the mattress, and began to examine it closely. He found nothing unusual under the mattress, but when he gently pressed down on it, he sensed a faint fluctuation of magical energy.
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat; he realized the problem might be far more complex than he had imagined. He turned to the Princess and the Pea and said, "Your Highness, I've noticed that your mattress seems to be affected by some kind of magic, which may be the reason you're not sleeping well."
The Princess and the Pea looked at Ye Chen in surprise: "Magic? How is that possible? I've never felt any magic before."
Ye Chen explained, "This kind of magic is very weak, and it's difficult for ordinary people to detect. But for someone with delicate skin like you, it could have a significant impact."
The Princess and the Pea asked anxiously, "Do you have a way to solve this problem?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I need some time to investigate the source of this magic and how to resolve it. In the meantime, you can try some relaxation techniques, such as taking a hot bath or listening to some soft music, which may help you sleep."
The Princess and the Pea nodded: "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Ye Chen left the Princess and the Pea's chambers and went to a quiet room. He sat at the table, closed his eyes, and concentrated on sensing the faint fluctuation of magic. He tried to trace the source of this magic, but found it extremely elusive.
After some effort, Ye Chen finally discovered some clues. This magic seemed to originate from an ancient magical artifact, which was hidden somewhere within the royal palace.
Ye Chen decided to go to the king and tell him about his discovery. He went to the king's study and explained the situation to him.
Upon hearing this, the king's expression turned extremely grave: "An ancient magical artifact? What should we do? If this magical artifact truly exists, won't it cause even greater harm to my daughter?"
Ye Chen comforted her, "Your Majesty, you need not worry too much. I will find this magical item as soon as possible and remove its influence on the princess."
The king nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. If you can solve this problem, I will reward you handsomely."
Ye Chen left the king's study and began searching for the ancient magical artifact in the royal palace. He inquired everywhere, asking the palace maids and guards, but he didn't get any useful clues.
Just as Ye Chen was feeling somewhat frustrated, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound. He followed the sound and came to a secluded corner. There, he saw a little girl sitting on the ground crying.
Ye Chen stepped forward and asked softly, "Little sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying here?"
The little girl looked up at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with tears: "I can't find my mother."
Ye Chen's heart softened. He knelt down and comforted her, "Don't worry, little sister. I'll help you find your mother. Can you tell me where you last saw your mother?"
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "My mom and I were playing in the garden, and then I got lost."
Ye Chen brought the little girl to the garden and began searching for her mother. During his search, Ye Chen noticed a particularly strong magical fluctuation in one area of the garden. An idea struck him, and he decided to go investigate.

They arrived at an abandoned pavilion, overgrown with weeds. Ye Chen stepped inside and found an ancient box. He opened the box, and it emitted a strong magical energy fluctuation.
Ye Chen carefully examined the contents of the box and discovered a crystal ball inside. The crystal ball shimmered with a strange light, seemingly containing powerful magic.
Ye Chen picked up the crystal ball and sensed its magic. He suddenly understood that this crystal ball was the ancient magical artifact, and its magic had affected the Princess and the Pea's sleep.
Ye Chen, carrying the crystal ball and the little girl, found her mother. The little girl's mother was very grateful to Ye Chen and thanked him repeatedly.
Ye Chen returned to his room and began to study the crystal ball. He discovered that the magic within the crystal ball was extremely powerful, and if handled carelessly, it could cause even greater harm to the Princess and the Pea.
After some thought, Ye Chen decided to use his Eastern Taoist techniques to purify the water crystal ball. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, concentrated, and poured his spiritual power into the crystal ball.
The magic within the crystal ball began to rebel, colliding with Ye Chen's spiritual energy. Ye Chen felt immense pressure, but he did not give up. He continuously adjusted his spiritual energy, attempting to find a balance and purify the magic within the crystal ball.
After several hours of effort, Ye Chen finally succeeded in purifying the crystal ball. The magic within the crystal ball disappeared, replaced by a pure energy.
Ye Chen brought the crystal ball to the Princess Pea's bedchamber. The Princess Pea's eyes filled with anticipation when she saw Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have found the magical item that was affecting your sleep and have purified it. Now, you can try this crystal ball; it will help you relax and improve your sleep."
The Princess and the Pea took the crystal ball and felt its pure energy. A look of surprise appeared on her face: "This crystal ball is really magical. I feel so much lighter."
Looking at the Princess and the Pea, Ye Chen felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He knew he had completed half of his mission. Next, he needed to further understand the Princess and the Pea's inner world and help her solve her other problems.
Over the next few days, Ye Chen often chatted with the Princess and the Pea, learning about her life and thoughts. He discovered that although the Princess and the Pea lived in a luxurious palace, she felt extremely lonely and helpless. She longed for someone to truly understand and care for her.
Ye Chen decided to warm the heart of the Princess and the Pea with his actions. Every day, he would bring her small gifts, such as a flower, a book, or a snack. He would also accompany her for walks to admire the beauty of the garden.
The Princess and the Pea gradually developed feelings for Ye Chen. She began to rely on him and treat him as a friend. Ye Chen also sensed the change in the Princess and the Pea, and he knew that his efforts had not been in vain.
However, just when Ye Chen thought everything was going in a good direction, a sudden crisis struck.
One evening, Ye Chen was resting in his room when he suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw a guard standing there looking flustered.
"It's terrible, Taoist priest! Her Highness the princess has suddenly fallen ill, and His Majesty the King requests your immediate attention," the guard said anxiously.
Ye Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly followed the guards to Princess Pea's bedchamber. Inside, Princess Pea lay on the bed, pale-faced and breathing weakly. The King and Queen stood by the bedside, their faces filled with anxiety.
Ye Chen walked to the bedside and carefully examined the Princess and the Pea's body. He discovered that the Princess and the Pea's body seemed to be being eroded by a dark magic, a very powerful magic that was rapidly devouring the Princess and the Pea's life force.
Ye Chen frowned; he realized the problem was extremely serious. He had to find a solution quickly, or the Princess and the Pea's life would be in danger.
Ye Chen began to consider a solution. He remembered some Taoist techniques he had learned in the East, which could be used to dispel the dark magic. However, this dark magic was extremely powerful, and he was unsure if he could succeed.
Ye Chen decided to give it a try. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and mobilized his spiritual power to begin casting a spell. A beam of light appeared in his hand, gradually expanding until it enveloped Princess Pea's body.
The dark magic began to rebel, clashing with the light. Ye Chen felt immense pressure, but he did not give up. He continuously adjusted his spiritual power, attempting to amplify the power of the light.
After much effort, the light finally prevailed, and the dark magic began to gradually fade. The Princess and the Pea's complexion gradually regained its color, and her breathing became steady.
The King and Queen were filled with gratitude as they saw Princess Pea's condition improve. They said to Ye Chen, "Taoist priest, you are truly our savior. Without you, our daughter might have..."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is my duty. The princess is out of danger, but she is still very weak and needs to rest."
The king nodded: "Very well, we will take good care of her. Taoist priest, is there anything you need us to do? We will do our best to fulfill your request, as long as it is within our power."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you can grant me a request. I hope you can allow me to stay in the royal palace for a while longer so that I can better take care of Her Highness the Princess."
The king agreed without hesitation: "Very well, Taoist priest. You may come and go freely in the royal palace. I am willing to do anything for my daughter's health."
Ye Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help the princess recover soon."
In the days that followed, Ye Chen stayed by Princess Pea's side, taking care of her daily needs. Princess Pea's health was slowly recovering.
As time went by, the bond between Princess Pea and Ye Chen deepened. They chatted, played, and admired the beautiful scenery together.
Princess Pea discovers that Ye Chen is a very kind, intelligent, and brave person, and she gradually falls in love with him.
Ye Chen also developed feelings for the Princess and the Pea, but he knew he couldn't express them easily. He still had a mission to complete; he had to finish the tasks assigned by the system before he could leave this world.
However, fate is always unpredictable. Just when Ye Chen thought he could successfully complete the mission, an even greater crisis quietly descended.
One day, Ye Chen was walking with Princess Pea in the garden when they suddenly heard a huge roar. They looked up and saw a black crack appear in the sky, from which a powerful dark magic surged forth, enveloping the entire palace.
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat; he realized this was an unprecedented crisis. He had to find a solution as soon as possible, or the entire kingdom would be plunged into disaster.
Ye Chen brought Princess Pea back to his bedchamber. He told Princess Pea to hide in a safe place while he went to find a way to resolve the crisis.
Just as Ye Chen was about to leave the bedchamber, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. This figure was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see its face, but it exuded a powerful dark magic.
Ye Chen looked at the figure warily and asked, "Who are you? Why did you attack the royal palace?"
The figure let out a sinister laugh: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that you must die!"
As he spoke, the figure lunged at Ye Chen. Ye Chen immediately unleashed his Daoist techniques, engaging the figure in a fierce battle.
The figure was incredibly powerful, and Ye Chen gradually found himself in a difficult situation. He discovered that his Daoist techniques were not very effective against the figure's attacks, while the figure's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce.
Just as Ye Chen was feeling desperate, he suddenly remembered the pink, crystal-clear heart-shaped gem he had obtained from Princess Rapunzel. He quickly took the gem out of his mental space and held it in his hand.
The gemstone emitted a powerful light, illuminating the entire bedchamber. The figure, enveloped in the light, let out a painful cry...
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Chen launched a fatal blow, completely defeating the figure. The dark magic power also disappeared, and the crack in the sky slowly healed.
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had successfully averted another crisis. However, he also knew that this crisis was just the beginning, and many more challenges awaited him.
Ye Chen returned to the Princess Pea's side and brought her out of her hiding place. The Princess Pea was overjoyed to see Ye Chen safe and sound. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Ye Chen held Princess Pea tightly, feeling her warmth. He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this beautiful and kind princess.
However, Ye Chen also knew that he couldn't stay in this world forever. He still had a mission to complete; he had to finish the tasks assigned by the system before he could return to his own world.
Ye Chen gently patted the Princess and the Pea on the back and said softly, "Your Highness, the crisis has passed, but I must continue on my way." 1.8
The Princess and the Pea looked up, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Ye Chen, do you really have to leave? Can't you stay and stay with me?"
Ye Chen gave a helpless smile: "Your Highness, I also want to stay, but my mission does not allow it. I must complete the tasks assigned to me by the system before I can return to where I belong."
