The long-awaited night finally descended, and Princess Seven Star lay in bed early, pretending to be asleep.
The palace maids saw the stars sleeping and walked out of the room lightly, waiting for the arrival of night.
After everyone had left, Xingchen got out of bed and started the simple witch formation she had spent nearly half a year creating. This is a composite array consisting of a gathering spirit array, a spotlight array, and a soundproofing array, which is also the limit that Xingchen can currently achieve within its capabilities.
The long-awaited meteor shower arrived as scheduled, and the stars began their cultivation. She attracted starlight into her body, slowly building the imprint of stars in her heart, and fully absorbing the power of the stars in the sky. As the power grew stronger, the body also felt waves of intense pain, like a wild horse galloping wildly on the grassland.
Soon, the stars broke through the initial stage of star attraction and reached the middle stage. She felt a sense of joy in her heart and began to try to cast the Star Seal. However, just as the Star Seal was about to be completed, the meteor shower came to an end. The power of the stars gradually dissipated, but the stars were unwilling. Missing such a rare opportunity would require waiting for countless times
Years, maybe decades, or even longer!
No, I can't just give up like this! "Xingchen's heart trembled." Give it up! Zhou Tianchen, listen to my command and boost my body
The power of the stars around her surged wildly towards them, and her body was also suffering greatly, while her soul was torn apart as if torn apart. Her cultivation is rapidly declining, especially the loss of soul power, which is causing her unbearable pain.
Ah! "Xingchen couldn't help but let out a painful cry.
Due to the backlash of the secret technique, the formation also lost some effectiveness, and the sound spread outside.
Lise, did you hear anything just now? It seems like someone is calling! "Asked the palace maid Kelly.
Kelly, did you hear wrong? This is the palace, dare you scream here? Aren't you afraid of being punished? "Said Lise.
But... I always feel something's wrong. Let's take a look around. If something really happens, it would be a big crime for us to not report it! "Kelly was worried.
Okay, "Lisa nodded.
So, two palace maids began patrolling around the palace.
Upon hearing the conversation between the palace maids, Xingchen's heart was filled with agony. However, at this critical moment, she was disturbed, and it was like a leaky roof that caught the rain all night long! She can only pray that she can complete the cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise she will be living in vain.
How about it? Nothing, right? Kelly, I told you you misheard. Look, there's no one around, and the princess is sleeping soundly. You're just too worried, "Lisa said.
Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, "Kelly stuck out her tongue.
During their conversation, Xingchen finally completed the cultivation of the Star Seal. She was just too exhausted, so after finishing, she fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
The next day, Xingchen slept for the first time until three poles in the sun before getting up, without engaging in any daily morning exercises. After waking up, she felt her heart dripping with blood. I only broke through to the mid stage of star attraction yesterday, and today I was knocked back to my original form. Even worse, her soul was damaged, which was the root of her use of the power of the starsBen, if there's a problem with her soul, isn't she
Fortunately, the Star Seal was finally completed, which will be the foundation of her future strength. In fact, the Star Seal has also saved her from danger many times in the days to come.
That morning, Xingchen lazily lay in bed after waking up. The palace maids came in to change her clothes, and seeing her like this, they called out, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to get up
However, the stars showed no response.
Kelly, why hasn't Your Highness woken up yet? Is there anything going on? Should we go call the priest or notify the empress? "Lisa was a little flustered.
Lise, why panic? Maybe Your Highness is just tired and wants to sleep a little longer, "Kelly said.
At this moment, a rapid sound of footsteps came.
What's going on? What's the point of being noisy early in the morning? "Chen Guifei's voice came from outside the door.
Your Majesty, the maidservants have noticed that the little princess has not woken up and appears to be in poor spirits. They are worried that the little princess may be sick, so they would like to invite the priest to come and take a look and inform you, "the two palace maids quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Consort Chen quickly ran to Xingchen's bedside to check on her condition and anxiously said, "Go and invite the priest
Yes, Your Majesty! "Lisa turned around and ran out.
In no time, an old man dressed in white arrived at Xingchen's room. He carefully examined Xingchen's body and said, "Your Majesty, the little princess is just too tired and not seriously injured. I can use magic to treat her
Then there will be a high priest, "said Consort Chen quickly.
Light wandering in the world, gather towards me, healing technique
As the old man sang, a white light enveloped the stars.
Xingchen slowly opened her eyes and looked at the people around her, asking in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Has something happened
Chen Er, are you okay? How are you feeling? "Empress Chen asked with concern.
I'm okay, Mother. I'm just a little tired and want to sleep a little longer. What's wrong? "Said Xingchen.
As long as it's okay, as long as it's okay, you can rest well. "Empress Chen breathed a sigh of relief and led everyone out of the room.
In the next three months, Xingchen has been working hard to cultivate the Starry Art and One Yang Finger, but her soul seems to have been damaged and her cultivation has not made much progress.
The Star Art has been stagnant since the last soul injury, and now she can only use the power of the stars to slowly repair the soul's wounds and learn some simple spells.
The current stars have an overall strength equivalent to that of a high-level fighter, but this is far from enough for her.
Look, that useless person is daydreaming again, "a mocking voice suddenly came from his ear.
The speaker is Prince Kaiqi, the son of Li Guifei, the opponent of the Star Mother. Since last year's talent test, Cage has become increasingly arrogant and domineering.
Avenue.
This young man's name is Evan, and he is the third son of Li Guifei's brother. Since the results of Cage's talent test came out three years ago, he has been sent by the family to serve as a companion reader for Cage.
Upon hearing these words, Xingchen smiled bitterly in her heart. If it weren't for the damage to her soul, how could she be like this now?
She didn't want to pay attention to these boring provocations and turned around to leave.
What? Are you about to leave now? You useless person, I haven't finished speaking yet! "Keqi was furious when he saw Xingchen about to leave.
Exactly, His Highness the Fifth Prince hasn't asked you to leave yet, do you want to leave? "Evan also shouted along.
The stars ignored them and walked straight out.
Stop! "Cage roared, and a fireball flew towards the stars.
The fireball hit the clothes of the star and instantly ignited, burning a big hole in her clothes.
As Xingchen was about to counterattack, he saw a guard wearing armor walking in.
This guard is the uncle of the Fifth Prince, named Philip, who is the deputy commander of the Royal Knights of the Palace and possesses the strength of a Silver Warrior.
Xingchen knows that if he takes action now, it's like hitting a stone with an egg. She could only suppress her anger and turn around to leave.
When the stars returned to their mother's palace, they heard the voice of Empress Chen coming from inside.
Secondly, you can also ask your grandfather to guide you in your cultivation Chen Guifei said.
Okay, Mother, I'll go prepare now, "Xingchen nodded in agreement.
Good child, go and tell your father the emperor, and then leave. "Empress Chen gently stroked the hair of the stars, her eyes full of reluctance. Xingchen is her youngest daughter, who has been intelligent and lovely since childhood, and has deeply won her heart. Now that Xingchen is going to the distant Count of Vir's house, she naturally feels extremely reluctant, but she also understands that her daughter has grown up and must go out to see something.
Starry nodded and got up to go to his father King Nicholas VI's study. In the study, Nicholas VI was reviewing memorials with a furrowed brow, as if he had encountered some difficulties. The stars stood quietly on the side, waiting for their father to finish his work.
Star, why have you come? "Nicholas VI put down the memorial in his hand and asked. There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone, but when he saw the stars, a hint of love still flashed in his eyes.
Star, why have you come? "Nicholas VI put down the memorial in his hand and asked. There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone, but when he saw the stars, a hint of love still flashed in his eyes.
Father, I would like to stay at the Count of Ville's house for a while, "said Xingchen, with a hint of request and expectation in his tone.
What did you say? Are you going to stay at the Count of Vir's house for a while? "Nicholas VI frowned, with a hint of surprise and displeasure in his tone. Count Weir's home is located in a remote area with a long journey, how could he trust his beloved daughter to go to such a faraway place?
Yes, Father, "Xingchen said firmly, his clear eyes sparkling with a longing light. I have grown up and want to go out and see
But you're still so young, have you really decided? "Although Nicholas VI didn't like stars very much, he was still his own flesh and blood and had some concerns. He was worried that Xingchen was too young to take care of himself, and he was also worried that the Count of Ville's family did not take enough care of Xingchen.
