That day, Erya asked Shixing to help Chiyao clear two problems in the middle spiritual sea. While Shixing was treating, Erya recorded the data and found that Shixing's healing spiritual power was more effective than her own on Chiyao. At the same time, without the help of the contract, the healing spiritual power would be more thorough.

Shixing didn't understand, "Why does the treatment become slower after entering through the contract?"

Erya thought about it and came up with an absurd answer, "Maybe... your spiritual power contract absorbed some."

As soon as the words came out, she felt that the contract suspended above Chiyao's spiritual sea emitted some light, as if admitting it.

Erya: "..."

Shixing: "..."

Erya: "I remember you said before that you can send spiritual power to the contract, and it can also absorb it, right?"

This time, without waiting for Shixing to answer, the contract glowed even brighter in the perception of the two.

Erya pinched her eyebrows.

Shi Xing tried to feed some mental power to Qiye, and it was all absorbed, not a bit fell into Chi Yao's mental sea.

Erya was silent again.

He had to affirm, "It seems so."

Without waiting for Shi Xing to speak, Erya made a decision, "Then you don't need to use the contract to treat the problems outside the middle level, just rely on your own level directly."

"Today is just the beginning. In order to catch up with the progress, I will only give you some mental power for daily activities after the treatment every day to ensure that there is no problem with your body. Is that okay?"

After getting a positive answer, Erya made a final decision, "Okay, then let's do this. If you still have some mental power left at night, you can supply it to Qiye as you wish."

Qiye seemed to understand and dimmed the light.

Shi Xing nodded, curious, "Where does Qiye's energy come from?"

Erya pointed at Chi Yao.

Chi was calm.

Shi Xing: "?"

Er Ya: "Do you think it exists independently? How is that possible?"

"It must rely on the spiritual power of the restrained person to feed back to have active energy. So if the restrained person is in a good state, it can absorb more energy and exert greater functions. If the restrained person is not in a good state... it is the situation you saw before, and it can only barely support it..." "

As for how it transforms and changes the spiritual power absorbed by the imperial people, I am afraid only the disappeared Blue Star knows."

After the treatment was over and the subsequent schedule was discussed, Er Ya asked Shi Xing to get the crystal fruit on the grounds that Yan Changyue was not there. Shi Xing readily agreed and was eager to go to the kitchen to pick the sweetest one.

After the people disappeared in the perception, Chi Yao asked: "What do you want to tell me by sending him away?"

Er Ya did not like eating fruit, so this was obviously an excuse.

There were only three people in the shielded room. After sending Shi Xing away, they must have said something behind his back.

Indeed, it was true.

Erya glanced at Chi Yao and said directly, "In your perception, Shi Xing's spiritual sea has not expanded much recently, right?"

Chi Yao had not noticed it before, but after Erya mentioned it, he carefully measured and compared it and came to the answer, "It seems... yes."

"Don't always bully Xingxing." Erya said again without any context.

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows, "?"

Er Ya: "There are too many marks, I saw them."

Chi Yao immediately denied, "Impossible, I didn't leave them in a conspicuous place."

Er Ya: "..."

Er Ya raised her eyelids, glanced at Chi Yao coldly, and suddenly said, "Are all of you Bellmans so shameless?"

Chi Yao replied calmly, "My blood relationship with Fei Chu is through the Chi family, and it has nothing to do with Bellman."

After a moment of silence, Er Ya did not argue and told the truth, "Xingxing's spiritual power, mixed with your spiritual power, is getting heavier and heavier."

In other words, Shi Xing absorbed a lot of Chi Yao's spiritual power.

And Shi Xing basically doesn't use Chi Yao as a crystal stone meal replacement, so it's self-evident how this change came about.

Chi Yao's key points were clear, "I knew it would be impossible to be seen."

Er Ya: "..."

Chi Yao finally got back to the topic, "So, what do you want to say?"

Er Ya: "The stars have been matched with you for almost a year, right?"

Chi Yao nodded, "It will be a year after the New Year, his birthday is coming up, and Xu Jin is preparing for his birthday recently."

Er Ya: "In the first year, he absorbed the energies of many high-level star beasts in the North, and they were all fresh. The maturity period is divided into two stages, and if you look at it more finely, it can be divided into three. At the end of the first stage, his mental power level will be closer to the post-maturity period. In the second year, other things will grow."

Er Ya was concise, "For this treatment, I need him to be in the first stage, do you understand?"

The probability of problems in the first stage of maturity is relatively small, and the second stage seems to grow slowly, but the number of deaths during this period is the highest, and it has always been the case.

Chi Yao lowered his eyes for a moment, "What do you think of my mental strength..."

Knowing that Chi Yao would not listen to her advice, and not intending to inquire, listen to, or suggest any private interactions between the young couple, Erya only said four words, "Just in case."

When Shi Xing came back, the two had just finished their puzzle.

He did not hear the conversation that concealed countless thoughts.

The New Year is coming, and Shi Xing's birthday is before the New Year. Xu Jin consulted Shi Xing and Chi Yao, and finally decided not to publicize it. Only in the palace, the regular followers around Chi Yao will hold Shi Xing's birthday.

The weather in the imperial capital is warm, and it snows for a maximum of two months a year.

As the snow time gradually increases every day, Shi Xing's life is also quietly changing.

First, in terms of the military, Chi Yao had been saying that he would transfer more troops from the First Army to Shi Xing. Before the New Year, he finally had time to start. Except for a few teams that could not be moved, the remaining six or seven armies asked the leaders and almost expressed their willingness to be transferred to Shi Xing. The remaining team did not move, not because they did not want to go, but because their vacation time was perfectly inconsistent with the time when Shi Xing came to Chi Yao's side. They unilaterally felt that the probability was not high, so they simply did not mention it.

Chi Yao and Shi Xing discussed it, and in addition to Fei Chu's team that originally belonged to him, they also transferred the team led by Qin Jue and another familiar leader to Shi Xing's subordinates, with Fei Chu as the middleman, responsible for running-in.

The last is the internal affairs.

As Chi Yao's daily treatment and military training were put on the agenda, Tang Mi and Wei Wan's feedback method was no longer enough. It was too delayed and wasted Shi Xing's time and the time of the two civil servants.

Chi Yao noticed that after the proposal was raised at a palace meeting, to everyone's surprise, Ren Yanyong raised his hand and said that he could help Shi Xing handle government affairs one-on-one every day.

Everyone present cast a surprised look at Ren Yanyong, which made Ren Yanyong's old face flush.

Afraid that everyone would say he was trying to please Shi Xing, Ren Yanyong explained stiffly with a straight face, "I'm just afraid that the young prince didn't handle it tactfully enough. The empire will still need your majesty and him in the future. Since I have time recently, well, let me do it."

After saying that, he was afraid that everyone would not believe him, so he added, "Anyway, the time is not long every day."

What is missing is someone who can make decisions immediately.

Tang Mi is still a little lacking in experience in government affairs.

And if there are any disagreements in the end, they will all be reported to Chi Yao anyway. But if Tang Mi is replaced by Ren Yanyong, the official business that agrees with the previous opinions can enter the next process on the same day.

Chi Yao smiled and finalized it without waiting for Ren Yanyong to regret.

In the first two days, everyone in the dormitory was worried that the two would have a conflict, but Shi Xing was very obedient to the knowledge that he did not understand. At first, Ren Yanyong felt like he was going to the grave when he came to the palace, but gradually, he discovered another side of Shi Xing, and the two got along well. Later, Shi Xing could even give Ren Yanyong crystal fruit.

While the court officials were shocked, one day Ren Yanyong also took one out of the palace. It seemed unintentional, but his actions were deliberate, and he showed it off in front of his old friend Wei Zhen.

These are all small changes in life.

But the results of the changes are direct.

Ren Yanyong felt that Shi Xing was a quick learner, and he quickly transferred some of the Elders' Council's official duties that needed the approval of the palace, but Chi Yao was impatient to Shi Xing. Some time ago, seeing that Shi Xing had handled it very skillfully, Chi Yao replaced Ren Yanyong with Wei Zhen to teach Shi Xing the way of thinking in the Senate.

As expected, after a period of time, Wei Zhen also began to leave the palace with a smile on his face and took Jing Guo with him. Shi

Xing's participation in the Senate has been improved.

At a speed that moistens things silently, he slowly but firmly entered the imperial internal affairs system and had his own voice.

The busy days passed by in a flash. Before the New Year, which was also Shi Xing's birthday, Erya finally announced that the treatment of the middle layer of Chi Yao's spiritual sea was over. He was given two days to rest and began to clean the inner layer.

The inner layer of Chi Yao's spiritual sea can only be entered through a contract, and the healing mental power will be compromised, but there is no other way.

After all, with Shi Xing's current condition, he cannot reach this depth relying on his own mental power.

Therefore, before starting, Shi Xing specially fed it two days of contracts, hoping that it could charge less agency fees and allow more healing mental power to be projected into His Highness's spiritual sea.

After preparing for so long, this day finally came.

Not only Shi Xing and Erya were nervous on this day, but everyone in the palace was nervous.

Not only were there new guard troops, but officers like Fei Chu, Qin Jue, and others also sat in a circle outside the shielded room - fearing that Chi Yao's mental power would get out of control, they could build a corresponding barrier to resist.

When the treatment began, the attendants in the bedroom were cleared outside the house to await the results.

Xu Jin looked at the bedroom building nervously, not knowing what to pray for. He took a deep breath, exhaled, thought for a long time, and finally decided to leave it to fate and wait for the results.

Yan Changyue had faith and had been praying.

Erya and Shi Xing confirmed again that all the injuries in the middle layer of Chi Yao's spiritual sea had been cleaned up. Erya finally said, "Let's get started."

The test was cautious.

Erya: "Slow down."

"My spiritual power will stay here with the contract, and I will support you if necessary. Do you remember what I told you?"

Shi Xing nodded with a serious face, "Remember, regardless of other injuries, try to use your spiritual sea to sneak into the gap first, and see if you can absorb the spiritual power of the star beast that remains in His Highness' spiritual sea."

It was orderly and logical.

Erya was very satisfied, "Yes."

"Try to go slower when going down, and if there is anything wrong, take back the spiritual power."

"Okay."

Although he had heard this reminder countless times, Shi Xing was not impatient at all, and his eyebrows were firm.

Erya added, "It may not be very comfortable when you touch the crack. Your Highness, please bear with it and try to control yourself."

Chi Yao closed his eyes and did not reply, but Erya knew that the discomfort had already begun.

After all, she had tried it before.

However, the result of her attempt was very disappointing. Once the spiritual power of the other party's spiritual seabed was touched, the contract would become invalid, and then Erya would be repelled by Chi Yao's spiritual power level and eventually bounced out.

But Shi Xing is different.

He has a different spiritual sea and can absorb violent spiritual power.

It depends on...

Thinking of this, in the perception, Shi Xing's spiritual power has already explored under the crack.

Shi Xing: "It's so strange, this piece of spiritual power..."

"What's wrong?" Erya was nervous.

Shi Xing opened his first talent, and sure enough, it was a little different.

Shi Xing: "This energy doesn't seem to come from your Highness, it seems to come from the contract."

Realizing something, Erya suddenly realized, "The scope of the contract can only reach here, it is suppressing the different mental powers under these cracks."

Shi Xing went down again and frowned.

The mental power began to mix. In addition to the peaceful mental power of the contract, he could also feel a very active and extremely destructive mental power, but... he was not afraid at all, and there was a kind of indescribable excitement in his spiritual sea.

The specific manifestation was that the energy chaos under the beach in the outermost layer of his spiritual sea increased, flowing back and forth in the hollow cracks.

It seemed to come out of the vacuum at the bottom, and it seemed that this mental power stimulated his spiritual sea.

He...

seemed to be attracted by something, and Shi Xing had a moment of trance.

When he came to his senses, Erya was already shouting for him to retreat. The moment Shi Xing regained consciousness, he found that his mental strength had broken through the protection range of the contract and rushed into the gap at a rapid speed...

"Go back, disconnect!"

"Cut off the spiritual power!"

After shouting twice, Erya realized something was wrong from Shi Xing's stunned expression, and quickly said, "Chi Yao, cut off his spiritual power."

This was Chi Yao's spiritual sea, so he could do it naturally.

But it was still a step too late. When Shi Xing came into contact with the energy in the crack, something rushed into his body along with the connected spiritual power and was sucked into the outer layer. All the energy under the beach was unprecedentedly active, tightly imprisoning this force and then pressing them down.

Shi Xing didn't even know when Chi Yao cut off his spiritual power.

When all the energy disappeared at the bottom of his spiritual sea, Shi Xing's body shook, and he supported the floor with one hand, barely maintaining a sitting position.

Erya: "Are you okay?"

Chi Yao: "Xingxing, how are you?"

Two concerned faces came to him. Shi Xing relaxed, touched his chest, and said hesitantly, "I, am I okay?"

He didn't look like he was okay, with cold sweat all over his head and a pale face.

But when he spoke clearly, Erya let out a long breath.

Before he could finish his breath, Shi Xing shook again, with a very small arc, but this time, to the surprise of the two, Shi Xing closed his eyes and fell to the floor suddenly.

Chi Yao was quick to catch him, and the two were shocked.

"Xingxing?!"

"Xingxing!!"
