After withdrawing from his sea of consciousness, Ji Fengyao happily pointed to the other two green fragments in the box and said, "Your Highness, since it is destined for you, you should absorb these two as well."
Shang Xiye nodded and reached out to pick up the other two fragments.
But this time, the two fragments remained motionless, and even when he tried to attract and pull them, they did not react at all.
"What kind of logic is this? They should be a whole and should coexist in one place," Ji Fengyao said, finding it very strange, and took the two fragments from Shang Xiye's hand.
To her and Shang Xiye's surprise, as soon as the two fragments were in her hands, one of them, just like when Shang Xiye touched it before, turned into a stream of green light and entered her palm, finally condensing into a green flower bud mark on her left chest.
The last fragment remained intact in her palm.
Ji Fengyao took a moment to assess the situation herself.
After the green light entered her body, she felt her spiritual energy become much more active. What used to take four hours to complete a full cycle of spiritual energy now only takes about three and a half hours.
Moreover, her meridians felt warm and nurturing, giving her a pleasant sensation.
As for her soul, she felt no discomfort whatsoever from being bound.
This shows that the green light is indeed not something possessed by a remnant soul.
Could it be that she sensed it because this thing was naturally connected to them?
Ji Fengyao was completely baffled and could only treat it as a stroke of luck. She put away the last fragment and continued her sweep with Shang Xiye.
It lasted a full quarter of an hour.
They had just finished looting all thirty-two stone chambers.
Aside from the cumbersome decorations and the weapons and armor in the two stone chambers, they took all the other gold, silver, and precious medicinal herbs.
Wuhen, Wushang, and Wuzhong took out all the weapons and armor and piled them up in a small mountain on the ground in the middle.
"Secretly forging and stockpiling so many weapons and armor, it seems the Crown Prince is indeed plotting a rebellion," Wu Shang said with a sneer.
Then, he looked up and asked Shang Xiye, "Your Highness, what should we do with these?"
Shang Xiye kicked aside one of the armors and saw that it had several special insignia on it. He said, "These armors and weapons all have insignia, so they can't be used directly. Take them back and have the weapon makers in the military camp melt them down and remake them into arrows."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Wu Shang and Wu Hen each took a storage ring and, in the blink of an eye, put the pile of armor and weapons back away.
"Your Highness, shall we continue forward?" Wu Zhong asked.
Shang Xiye shook his head: "No need. If we go any further, we will reach the deep mountains outside the capital. If I'm not mistaken, that place is most likely one of the places where the Crown Prince keeps his private army."
"Then let's not go. We've already taken all this stuff; that's enough to make those bastards cry!"
The magpie was so happy with tonight's huge harvest that it almost flew away.
"It's more than just crying; I'm afraid she's contemplating suicide," Ji Fengyao added sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, the three guards burst into laughter.
The group returned the same way they came.
After leaving the artificial rockery, the drugged sentries were still asleep.
Ji Fengyao grabbed Shang Xiye and said to Wuhen, Wushang, and Wuzhong, "Go and strip them of their clothes."
The three secret guards: "..."
Your Highness, you have emptied out the Crown Prince's stronghold.
With so much money on him, why would he need clothes for these poor guards?!
