Chapter 238: Her Royal Highness the Sea Princess is a Heartthrob (23)

The girl's white hands were dipped in ointment, and she applied it gently and carefully on the hideous wound on the boy's back.

New wounds added to old ones.

There was pale pink tender flesh on the wounds where the scabs had not yet completely fallen off, and the new wounds had torn the newly grown tender flesh apart again, causing blood to flow out.

Qiao Xi applied the ointment.

Try to move as gently as possible to reduce the pain Simon can feel.

But what she didn't know was.

At this moment, the boy did feel a burning pain because of the ointment applied to the wound on his back.

But what concerned him more was...

The girl applied the ointment and from time to time she inadvertently felt the soft fingers touching her back.

The more you want to ignore it.

By deliberately diverting his attention, he became more concerned about Qiao Xi's actions.

"You work out really hard."

The girl who was applying the medicine also sighed at this time. The boy's lean waist was strong and powerful, without a trace of excess fat.

The back has a beautiful shape and even muscle groups.

It's not overdone, but just right. Visually, it's truly pleasing to the eye.

Simon paused, clutching his clothes.

The boy's body stiffened slightly. He was already a little upset because of Qiao Xi's touch, and now when he heard the girl's words, he felt even more anxious.

He didn't know what this feeling was.

But there was a strange feeling, as if the heart was peeled open and hot emotions like magma were flowing out.

"...The sneak attacker is coming."

Simon changed the subject somewhat unnaturally.

As the girl finished applying the ointment, he put his shirt back on and prepared to fight.

"I'll leave this to you."

Qiao Xi didn't waste any time. After realizing that there were an unreasonable number of attackers coming from the other direction, he decisively handed the two attackers here over to Simon.

The boy was stunned as he watched her leaving.

But the next second, the attacker suddenly appeared and attacked him, and he had no time to pay attention to him.

The other side.

Qiao Xi noticed that there were so many attackers that it seemed a bit strange, and felt vaguely that something was amiss.

I just came here not long ago.

Qiao Xi soon saw the unusual number of attackers. These imperial clan members were still wearing black clothes that covered their entire bodies, making it difficult to distinguish them.

She didn't make her move as usual.

Because Qiao Xi did not detect any murderous intent from the people in front of him.

Those people kept a distance from Qiao Xi.

They took out a letter from their arms, put it on the ground, and then retreated on their own initiative.

Qiao Xi walked up, picked up the letter and opened it.

There was only a location on it, and a familiar name at the bottom.

Absolutely...

For Qiao Xi, she and Jue met during this period of time and had just met not long ago.

But for Jue.

When they met again across time and space, he had experienced many things that she didn't know about. During the time that Qiao Xi was absent, she had no idea what had happened to Jue.

I don’t know either.

Will he still be the young man I met at the beginning?

Emperor's heart.

This is the address on the letter, and this is also the center of the three battlefields: Border Battlefield, Lost Ruins, and Ragnarok.

That is where the imperial family is located.

However, no one knows the origin of the Imperial Clan. All everyone knows is that the Imperial Clan suddenly appeared one day and then fought the first battle.

And this one hit.

It was a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Qiao Xi touched Jue's heart, and Jue of this era knew about it, so did the other party send this letter to her at the right time?

Or rather.

From the moment she first touched Jue's eyes, she traveled across tens of thousands of years of time and space to meet the former Jue.

Living in this era, we know the absoluteness of everything in the past.

She might have noticed it when it touched her eyes.

After all the twists and turns, maybe it really is fate.

Apart from her, no one else could sense the breath of that eye, nor any other information distributed underground.

The envelope turned to ashes in Qiao Xi's palm.

Dissipated by the wind in the vast sky and earth.

When Qiao Xi returned, Simon had already dealt with the attackers, and these escaped ones were just there to make up the numbers in the imperial family.

No matter how many come, they will be eliminated.

I’m afraid the people of the imperial family won’t feel sorry either.

After receiving the letter, Qiao Xi felt a little complicated. The letter was delivered to her by someone from the imperial family.

In other words…

He is definitely related to the imperial family, and judging by the respectful attitude of those people, it is very likely that his status is not low.

In addition, it is said that the imperial family suddenly appeared one day.

Qiao Xi reasonably suspected that the Emperor's family might be the pawns supported by Jue.

The following period of time was calm. After taking turns with partners, the cooperation became more tacit, and no abnormalities were found no matter which direction they went.

One month of exams is over.

Unsurprisingly, almost everyone received an A grade and was successfully promoted to the advanced magic class.

Qiao Xi didn't plan to go to Di Xin so soon.

not to mention.

With her current status, it is impossible for her to leave the academy and go to the center of the battlefield all at once. She still needs to lay some groundwork first.

It wasn't long before I returned to the dormitory.

Qiao Xi was about to activate the teleportation magic circle.

Horn, who followed the girl back to the dormitory, looked at her in surprise: "You want to go back?"

You have to know that Qiao Xi has returned to Atlantis very few times.

Except for some important holidays.

She basically stayed in school for the rest of the time, and when she had no classes, she would hang out in the library reading magic books.

Now this person actually wants to go back on his own initiative?

It's so rare.

"Well, I might be back for a while." Qiao Xi lowered his head to operate the magic circle, pressed his hand on it and began to verify his bloodline identity.

Want to go to Atlantis.

Unless you are a native, no one else can enter even if they know the coordinates.

"Go ahead, Your Highness will go to sleep first."

Horn climbed onto the bed lazily, yawning, and did not forget to throw a magic barrier as a curtain between them.

I can't see what's going on over there.

Only a faint flash of light could be detected, and then Qiao Xi's breath disappeared in the dormitory.

Horn lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

His bandaged arms tightened unconsciously. His hands and right calf were now wrapped in sealing bandages.

The dormitory was empty.

I had long been accustomed to Qiao Xi's presence, but now it felt like something was missing.

You can't really blame him.

He and Qiao Xi lived together in Atlantis a year before coming to the college, and they shared a dormitory again for more than a year and a half after coming to the college.

And the girl was never away for long.

In the past, even if I went back to Atlantis, I would come back after the holidays, although I was reluctant to leave.

But Horn never showed these emotions.

Now Qiao Xi said that he might be away for a longer time.

It was hard for him not to wonder if something had happened in Qiao Xi's family.

The sealing spell flickered.

Hinting that his power was beginning to spiral out of control, Horn could only temporarily put aside those chaotic thoughts. The boy rested his head on his hands and stared at the ceiling.

You're overthinking it.

What could happen to Atlantis?

But what really concerned him was... Qiao Xi and Qiao Laier. On the way back, he heard Zuo Qianjin talking about them. It was a pity that Qiao Xi was not with Qiao Laier.

At the time, Horn didn't quite understand why he said that.

It wasn't until now that I realized what was happening.

But from what Zuo Qianjin said, Qiao Xi didn't seem to plan to be with Qiao Laier, so she should go back this time to resolve this matter, right?

Um……

That would be great if that were the case.

Thinking about all sorts of things, Horn gradually fell asleep.
