Xiao Zhi sneered, "Okay! I'll wait and see."

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something bad has happened in the laboratory!"

Just then, a familiar student ran in, looking flustered. When he bumped into the four people at the table, he swallowed hard and felt a little at a loss.

Chen Yin frowned, "It's okay, just take your time to talk."

He nodded, "Chen Qiangwei brought people to expel us this morning, saying that no matter how much C-level potions are developed, they will only be like that. She asked us to let her make a healing potion, and said... said that we should go back and rest for a few days."

The student was very helpless. "But the military region still has a huge demand for C-level medicine. We worked tirelessly to develop and produce just a few, and now we have to rest."

Chen Yin's expression changed, "Didn't you go find Marquis Lu?"

The student's mouth felt bitter, "Chen Qiangwei used the potion as an excuse, saying that the patient is more important than improving mental strength, and the patient must be taken care of first."

Quan Yue laughed: "Why would she have to go through so much trouble to make a potion? For a healing potion like this, once the formula is correct, they can just hand it over to an outside company for mass production. Why is she occupying your lab?"

The student was very aggrieved. "That would be fine, but she was aggressive and drove us away, and she also hurt classmate Song."

"What's going on here?"

Chen Yin frowned. What a mess.

The student answered honestly, "She brought that mermaid with her. Her SSS-level mental power pressure made it difficult for us to pack up. If we were a little slow, Shen Qiangwei couldn't wait any longer and threw out all our information. Student Song got impatient and started a conflict."

Chen Yin's eyes darkened. What the hell was going on?

…

…

"Song Yu, I've never offended you, have I? You're my future beastly husband, and you dare to be so disrespectful to me!"

Outside the laboratory door, a group of students stood behind Song Yu, glaring at Shen Qiangwei.

Behind Shen Qiangwei was the pharmacist from the Royal Laboratory. Both sides were aggressive towards each other, but Shen Qiangwei's words "future beast husband" made the people behind her laugh and look at Song Yu, the leader.

"So you're a family! Your classmate Song is about to marry our Miss Shen, and you're still hesitating to let a lab run."

"That's right! Aren't you afraid of being disliked by your future wife if you treat her like this?"

It was Ji Mingxuan's first time to visit the palace. He stood behind Shen Qiangwei and looked around curiously.

Song Yu's face was gloomy, and he stared at Shen Qiangwei coldly, as if he was looking at a piece of trash.

"Please respect yourself. There has never been any so-called engaged relationship between you and me. I am not Huo Yao!"

As soon as Huo Yao's name came out, the memory of being broken off came flooding back like a tide, and the laughing gazes from all directions suddenly became dazzling.

Shen Qiangwei's smile disappeared, she strode forward and grabbed his shoulders, "Why are you being so hypocritical? Your parents have agreed, and the wedding date is set. You can't disagree!"

She sneered, looking at the handsome face in front of her, and a violent thought arose in her heart.

Song Yu was disgusted, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and he was furious, and threw her away fiercely. The mental barrier popped up, completely isolating Shen Qiangwei from any contact with him.

"You're from the palace after all, can you please be a little more polite? The lab has a lot of complicated materials, and it'll take some time to sort them out. You guys go back to the lab and wait, we'll leave this afternoon!"

Song Yu turned around, unwilling to pay attention, and the use of mental power angered Shen Qiangwei.

If it weren't for Huo Xun and Song Yu in front of her, she would have been SSS level long ago, and there would be no need for her to be blocked by him.

Shen Qiangwei gritted her teeth and gave Ji Mingxuan a wink.

Ji Mingxuan frowned, disdainful in his heart, but he was unwilling to offend Shen Qiangwei for such a small matter.

The tremendous mental power overflowed and instantly broke through the invisible barrier. The mental attack came without any warning, and the difference of one level was like a chasm.

Song Yu was hit hard and his body suddenly retreated. His head was stinging. The pain that penetrated deep into his soul made his face turn pale in an instant and sweat poured down.

"Student Song!"

Countless people gathered around to check on him, glaring at Shen Qiangwei.

“Chen Qiangwei, you are going too far! How can you hurt others at will!”

"Student Song is the pharmacist appointed by the Empress herself!"

Shen Qiangwei seemed to have heard some joke, "I am still a marquis! This is the Empress's intention. Let you help me dilly-dally. Besides, it was Song Yu who started it first. I just fought back to teach him a lesson and let him know who is the boss!"

The only thing missing was the wedding date, and Song Yu was destined to be hers. Shen Qiangwei believed that she was not a coward like Shen Yin, and to be her beastly husband, one must be obedient and not behave in an unruly and treacherous manner like the one in front of her.

As soon as the words fell.

Bang!

The vast spiritual power surged like a tide, submerging him in an instant.

Before Song Yu could react, with anger still in his eyes, he watched as Shen Qiangwei and Ji Mingxuan flew out suddenly, fell to the ground, and their faces turned pale.

Ji Mingxuan was fine, but the intense pain made Shen Qiangwei unable to control herself and let out a scream.

The mental attack penetrated deep into the soul, and the mind was blank for a moment. The pain that tore the soul apart made Shen Qiangwei feel worse than death.

Ji Mingxuan was at least an SSS-level mentalist, and his stress resistance was much stronger than hers. He felt a chill in his heart, and when he helped up Shen Qiangwei, whose face was distorted, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

As expected.

When she saw Chen Yin coming, her face froze, her eyes fell on the silver-haired man behind her, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"Xiao, Xiao Zhi!?"

Ji Mingxuan's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Chen Yin in shock. How could she tame this bully?

The name Xiao Zhi was a household name to Ji Mingxuan. There was no one in the entire underwater world who didn't know Xiao Zhi.

The Jiaolong tribe he led was ruthless and extremely united. Xiao Zhi's position as tribe leader had been stable for a hundred years. Without offspring, there was no competition. Unlike their mermaid tribe, Ji Mingxuanguan had only about twenty brothers and sisters. Xiao Zhi was from the same generation as his parents. His parents had suffered many losses at the hands of Xiao Zhi and had received countless injuries.

When he was young, he cried and his father often used Xiao Zhi's name to scare him.

I didn't expect that we would meet in this way on land. No wonder someone could hurt him with mental power.

As an SSS-level orc with extraordinary talent, Xiao Zhi has practiced for hundreds of years and has rich combat experience. How could he be compared with Ji Mingxuan?

Not to mention Ji Mingxuan, all the people present together, as long as there is no firepower, are not enough to make Xiao Zhi slap twice.

Xiao Zhi followed behind Shen Yin, equally curious about the palace. Meeting Ji Mingxuan's gaze, he sneered, "Who did I think he was? Isn't this the youngest son of those useless mermaids? I heard you were captured and auctioned underground for over four billion. Tsk, you mermaids are still valuable."

Xiao Zhi had a sarcastic look in his eyes and didn't take the little kid Ji Mingxuan seriously.

Ji Mingxuan's face turned ugly, and he clenched his fists. "Haha, the pot calling the kettle black. No matter how powerful your martial arts are, you still become Chen Yin's plaything."

Xiao Zhi narrowed his eyes: "You are looking for death!"

With a loud bang, the air flow collided, and Ji Mingxuan, who had just stood up, flew out and fell heavily.
