Chapter 237: Her Royal Highness the Sea Princess is a Heartthrob (22)

When Qiao Xi woke up, she found Simon carrying her on his back, having just killed an attacker.

The girl made slight movements.

Simon quickly realized that she had regained consciousness, so he simply squatted down and put her down.

"woke up?"

"Well, how long have I been dizzy?" Qiao Xi stood up and rubbed his eyes.

Simon stood up and casually kicked away the remains of the attacker: "About an hour."

It's strange.

Before Qiao Xi fainted, she said that they might have found a way to lower the temperature here. Simon didn't have much hope at first, but after the girl really fainted.

The temperature here is really starting to drop.

Only then did he realize that what Qiao Xi said was true.

"What did you do?" He was curious about what method the girl used to lower the temperature here.

It's still quite hot though.

But it's much better than before.

"There is something underground. If you pick it up, it will disappear." Qiao Xi also explained honestly, without saying what it was, but Simon didn't care.

"The Imperial Family attacked so quickly?"

Qiao Xi looked at the body of the imperial clan attacker who was casually kicked away by Simon and was now beginning to disappear.

"Yes, there were two or three who invaded the rear."

He had taken care of the girl while she was unconscious. Simon would not resort to magic to deal with these imperial clans, relying solely on physical combat.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qiao Xi noticed that the boy had several more wounds on his body and couldn't help but sigh.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Simon didn't care, and the furry ears on the boy's head trembled. He turned his back to Qiao Xi and took out the ointment he usually carried with him.

A little bit of it.

Apply it to your new wounds.

The coolness of the ointment contrasted sharply with the burning pain in the wound, but even in such pain, he remained calm and didn't even frown.

Qiao Xi was thinking about Jue's matter beside him.

After noticing Simon applying medicine over there, her gaze was involuntarily drawn over there.

In one sentence, he blurted out: "Simon, are you mixed-blood?"

The young man who was applying the medicine paused.

A hint of darkness flashed across his deep eyes, he drooped his eyelids, and his voice became a little deeper.

"So what?"

The orcs were considered vulgar and barbaric by the nobles because half of the blood flowing in their bodies was animal blood.

And since birth.

Only by merging with one's companion beast can one achieve the current half-human, half-beast state or switch between beast forms at will.

It is precisely because of this that they are considered dirty by the nobles.

The Orcs are indeed mixed-bloods, but because of their powerful strength and their special characteristics, they can sit firmly on the throne of one of the four major families.

But not many people look up to them.

Now that Qiao Xi brought this up, was she trying to make him face reality by saying some irrelevant things like they did?

The boy's eyes gradually became gloomy.

Undercurrents were surging in his eyes, and his heart, which had just begun to feel a little warm, seemed to be thrown into an ice cellar by suspicion and doubt again, suffering greatly.

I know I shouldn't take things to extremes.

But Simon knew that Qiao Xi was the little princess of Atlantis.

The other party was born in such an empire.

Especially an ancient family that is superior to the four major families.

I guess they also attach great importance to bloodline.

If Qiao Xi said something like "You are dirty" now, Simon would not find it strange.

After all, he had heard the nobles say this since he was a child.

Many people used this as a reason to isolate him.

Just when he was about to stay away from the girl, the boy's behavior probably caught the girl's attention.

Before he could walk far, the hem of his clothes was pulled.

"What's wrong? Where are you going?"

The girl's puzzled voice came from behind him. Simon turned around and met her clear and puzzled eyes. For a moment, he could not find any other emotions in her eyes.

He has a part of animal instinct.

Best at insight.

Even though Annie was an elf who had hidden herself very well before, he could see through her disgust and dislike for him.

But now take a closer look.

However, he did not detect any other emotions in Qiao Xi's eyes.

Simon was silent, his eyes moving to the girl's tender white hand that was carefully tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

The boy spoke again, his voice slightly deeper. His attitude was lukewarm, not quite friendly but not enthusiastic either.

But Qiao Xi had long been accustomed to him like this.

The girl smiled and let go of his shirt. "I was just wondering if you're as clueless as them. That's great."

Simon looked a little surprised.

"What's the meaning?"

He felt that he might have misunderstood. After all, in this day and age, being a mixed-race person was not an honorable thing.

This is true even if the Orcs are one of the four major families.

Cannot be recognized.

"In reality, there is no such thing as pure bloodline. Instead, there are only genetic defects and inherited diseases. Future generations will only be worse than the previous one."

Tens of thousands of years of reproduction.

Even if the bloodline of the past can possess special abilities.

However, with the changes and progress of the times, when this ability is no longer needed, it is gradually eliminated.

Now only a very few can function.

The rest are actually no different from ordinary people.

The upper circle all studied magic, and there were no people like Simon who focused on close combat and physical strength, simply because the physical fitness of the nobles in the upper circle was too poor.

And because of genetic defects and genetic diseases.

It's just a minor scratch.

There is even a risk of bacterial infection and death, it is that fragile.

Simon chuckled and returned to the girl.

"How dare you say that? If those pedantic old men heard these words, they would probably criticize you."

"Who dares to say that to me, hehe."

Qiao Xi patted herself proudly, "They can't even curry favor with me."

Simon put his tongue lightly against his teeth and made a "tsk" sound. He was a little confused by her proud little action, so he simply pushed the medicine bottle in his hand towards the girl.

Qiao Xi: “?”

"Apply the medicine."

"...Oh, obviously you can do it yourself." She muttered softly and still unscrewed the medicine bottle.

Simon lazily lifted his shirt, "It's on the back, I can't touch it."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

She consciously looked away and quickly urged him to turn around.
