The second prince was covered up from head to toe, clutching the spirit stone, waiting to be the great hero who would fall from the sky at noon.
Not far away, the emperor, disguised as an ordinary person, waited quietly in a corner, hoping for a miracle.
Xiao Dezi whispered to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I've heard that someone who can restore Mount Ling to its original state is about to appear. After that person completes this great deed, his whole body will be radiant with golden light, and he should be easy to recognize."
The Emperor said, "I will wait for him to come!"
The small pool where spirit stones were originally stored in Lingshan is now completely empty.
The second prince and the emperor waited quietly at a distance.
Just as noon arrived, the second prince rushed out of the bushes, eager to be the savior.
Unexpectedly, two figures suddenly appeared from behind.
The second prince did not sense the danger.
Because, apart from him, there couldn't be any more or better spirit stones!
After mastering the top-grade martial arts technique, Qi Junxian's skill level increased significantly, and even his lightness skill improved considerably.
At this moment, he flew with Qiuqiu in his arms to the front of the spirit stone pool.
The Emperor said in a trembling voice, "He's here! He's finally here!"
Qi Junxian carefully took out three golden spirit stones from his pocket and put them into the spirit stone pool.
Instantly, under the illumination of the golden spirit stone, the spiritual energy of Mount Ling overflowed.
The melting ice and snow returned to their original state.
The withered branches and vegetation gradually recovered and became lush and green again.
Xiao Dezi excitedly looked around and said, "Your Majesty! Look, our sacred mountain is back! The spiritual energy is back!"
The second prince, who was just about to make a name for himself, was dumbfounded.
How could this be? I am the one who possessed the spirit stone! I should have been the first to place it there!
The Emperor looked at the spirit stones with excitement, pointing to the golden one and saying, "Did you see that? It's a golden spirit stone! Golden spirit stones are so rare, even the Plum Blossom Kingdom only has three!"
Xiao Dezi: "Your Majesty, please do not be anxious. This servant will invite the two noble guests here immediately!"
The Emperor: "Quickly! Quickly, invite him in! I want to fulfill my previous promise and reward him handsomely!"
"yes!"
Xiao Dezi answered in response and then walked towards the Spirit Stone Pool.
Chiu Chiu and Qi Junxian lifted their cloaks and turned around.
Xiao Dezi exclaimed excitedly, "It's Princess Wanguo! And her brother too!"
The second prince shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Wrong, wrong, all wrong! I meticulously planned this whole thing, but it all benefited someone else!"
When Qiuqiu saw the Second Prince, she grabbed him without saying a word and asked, "Second Prince, weren't you at the Imperial Clan Court? What are you doing here?"
The Emperor also came over, looked at the Second Prince, and asked, "How did you end up here? How did you escape from the Imperial Clan Court?"
The second prince knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I want to save Lingshan, I want to save all the people! Father!"
Chirp sneered.
[Hmph! Using stolen spirit stones to steal credit, how could you even think of that!]
The emperor heard this and questioned the second prince, "Where did you get those spirit stones?"
The second prince hurriedly explained, "Yes, I found it outside?"
Chiu Chiu walked straight up to the Second Prince.
The second prince looked at Qiuqiu, who was not even three years old, and felt a sense of pressure.
Qiuqiu questioned the Second Prince, "Oh? Is that so? But I've heard that every spirit stone on Mount Ling has a special mark. Could it be that all your spirit stones just happen to be from Mount Ling?"
The second prince was so frightened that his legs were trembling.
The Emperor: "Second Prince, tell me the truth! What exactly happened?"
Qiuqiu pressed the Second Prince further, "Why don't I use my magic to show everyone the markings on these spiritual stones from the sacred mountain that ordinary people can't see?"
Second Prince: "No, no! Father, I didn't mean it! I just wanted you to see me!"
The Emperor: "It really was you! You have disappointed me greatly!"
Chiu Chiu: "Yes, how could you disregard the entire country for your own fame and fortune, almost causing disaster for the Dragon Kingdom!"
The second prince wept bitterly and said, "Father, I shouldn't have stolen the stones from Mount Ling, and I shouldn't have come here to play the hero just because I took the stolen stones. I was wrong!"
