The two had just finished lunch when Li Mu couldn't wait to sneak in and whisper something in the emperor's ear, which Bai Lingxi didn't hear.
"Xi'er, I still have some matters to attend to. You should rest well."
Zhou Jin was clearly preoccupied with important matters, yet she still patiently and carefully comforted Bai Lingxi.
"Your Majesty, I await your arrival."
"good."
After Zhou Jin left, Bai Lingxi also dismissed the servants.
"Brother Xiaoqi, what's wrong with Zhou Jin's health?"
Bai Lingxi called out to the system in her mind, eager to know Zhou Jin's physical condition.
"Host, Zhou Jin is about to die." Xiao Qi didn't want to say it, but thinking of that person, she still chose to answer Bai Lingxi.
"What?"
"how so?"
Bai Lingxi looked incredulous. Emperors are protected by dragon energy. Generally speaking, as long as they are not tyrants, they will have good fortune. How could this be?
"Yes, host, you heard me correctly."
Xiao Qi sighed helplessly. Who knows how that person did it? This body simply couldn't withstand the person's soul, so it had to be split into several souls. How many people could endure such pain of tearing their soul apart?
"Zhou Jin is not the chosen one. In the original world, at this time, Zhou Jin was also nearing the end of his life. The chosen one must be with the chosen one to ascend to the highest position; this is the main storyline of that world."
Bai Lingxi understood what Xiao Qi meant.
"So, the world's consciousness absolutely requires Zhou Jin to die and the throne to be passed to the Seventh Prince?"
"That's right."
What would happen if the throne were passed directly to him? Wouldn't that save his life?
Bai Lingxi didn't want Zhou Jin to die. Besides being the only person she could rely on in this world, he also had the aura of a zookeeper on him, as if they had known each other for a long time.
"What would happen if I used spiritual power?" Bai Lingxi suddenly remembered that Zhou Jin was obviously much more relaxed when she inputted spiritual power earlier, so she could guess whether spiritual power could help Zhou Jin overcome his death calamity.
"Theoretically, that's true. However, if you use your spiritual power now, you'll be helpless against the little rabbit in the future. You'll have to go through countless trials in small worlds to slowly recover your spiritual power, and during this process, you might lose your memory."
Xiao Qi disagreed with her doing so, since completing the mission might involve all sorts of dangers, and it would be difficult to complete the mission without spiritual power to protect her.
"I only have one question: Is my life in danger?"
"No." It would be difficult to have one even if you wanted to. The master had already used half of his cultivation combined with a secret treasure to create a Heart-Protecting Scale for her, which could withstand countless fatal blows for the host and could even bring the dead back to life.
"That's fine then. I choose to use all my spiritual power to save Zhou Jin's life."
Bai Lingxi's eyes were firm; she knew exactly what she was doing.
"Host, not yet. You must wait until the Seventh Prince ascends the throne and the world moves onto the main storyline before you can help Zhou Jin come back to life. Before that, you cannot interfere with the plot anymore, because your mission has been completed. Now you must wait for the world's consciousness to return to normal."
The system had one more thing it didn't say: the Seventh Prince was also a fragment of that powerful figure's soul, and he probably wouldn't let her go so easily.
Bai Lingxi was unaware of the system's unspoken intentions. Although she was worried about the potential consequences, she decided to protect Zhou Jin.
She's the smartest little rabbit in the tribe, and her keeper is waiting for her at home. She'll definitely succeed!
Thinking of this, Bai Lingxi's eyes, as bright as stars, were filled with hope again.
