Chapter 166: Chapter 144: I Want to Be the Prince Consort (Part 3)

She used to think that Bai Lun would be her enemy, but ever since Bai Lun told her about the Heavenly Dao Energy, she was sure he wasn’t.

But neither was he her ally.

Otherwise, their first meeting wouldn’t have been like that.

The most likely scenario was that Bai Lun wanted to get close to her, and gain something from her, perhaps similar to those strategy novels she read before?

If that was the case, Bai Lun must possess some sort of help she didn’t have, which would explain his reckless behavior in front of her.

Shen Jingxian thought about Fu Xuan casually mentioning earlier that Bai Lun’s tongue was completely pierced through, yet underneath it remained unharmed, wondering if it was just a coincidence, or if Bai Lun was not as simple as he seemed.

Fu Xuan implied that Bai Lun might know martial arts, not as incompetent as he appeared, but Shen Jingxian felt it was the power in Bai Lun’s body.

Another question arose: if Bai Lun possessed a power that others didn’t, why was he still struggling? Not only was he almost suffocated while being locked up by Song Yun, but also could hardly resist her authority. Could it be that this ability required special conditions to activate?

“What is Heavenly Dao Energy, do you have a way to help me?”

[Perhaps before I could, but not now]

“Why not, is it because my fate has been changed?”

[My body had something called a system, it was also the reason I could see the future, but now due to my incompetence, the system has left, I have no way now]

System!!!

This guy really had good luck, he actually had a system!!

If only she had a system too, she wouldn’t have to endure this nonsense! Constantly on edge every day!!

“Will your system come back?”

[I don’t know]

The situation seemed to be at an impasse, all Shen Jingxian knew was that the Heavenly Dao Energy was causing trouble in her body, yet she had no idea how to get rid of it.

From Bai Lun’s words, it could be inferred that Bai Lun’s system was not a master-servant relationship, but one of mutual selection, presumably providing Bai Lun with certain special abilities in exchange for him doing the system’s bidding.

In other words, Bai Lun’s foolish behavior in front of her was related to the demands of the system.

Bai Lun knew about the Heavenly Dao Power because the system told him, which might indicate that the Heavenly Dao Power was actually what the system wanted?

She didn’t believe the system would mention something unimportant without reason.

Now that the system abandoned Bai Lun, it might be because it deemed Bai Lun incapable of seizing the Heavenly Dao Power.

Shen Jingxian scrutinized Bai Lun, thinking that the system’s choice might be correct, if she were the system, she would surely choose someone smarter! Like herself!

[Host detected, binding in progress… Binding failed… Rebinding in progress…]

Just as Shen Jingxian was pondering this, an unfamiliar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in her mind. Normally she might have thought she was hallucinating, but knowing about the system from Bai Lun’s mouth, she couldn’t help but suspect that this might be the system Bai Lun lost.

After the binding failure prompt sounded in her mind for the tenth time, Shen Jingxian couldn’t help but internally comment on how weak it was, failing so many times just to bind, no wonder Bai Lun was struggling so much.

As soon as this thought surfaced, another voice was heard in her mind.

[System energy insufficient, binding possible after energy replenishment]

Shen Jingxian: ?

Binding her required her to provide energy? How strange. Then how did the system bind with Bai Lun before?

[Bai Lun’s level is 1, does not consume energy, Shen Jingxian’s level is 6, requires 5 units of energy]

How much energy do you have now?

[Less than 1]

What happens when there’s no energy?

[The system will be destroyed]

If Bai Lun could hear the conversation between the system and Shen Jingxian, he would surely be wide-eyed. The system that usually acted all superior in front of him was so obedient in front of Shen Jingxian, answering every question.

Perhaps this is the disparity experienced between worlds of level 1 and level 6.

But Shen Jingxian did not intend to bind with the system, on the contrary, having gathered the information from the system, she had a brilliant idea.

“System, my suggestion is, you continue binding with Bai Lun, tell Bai Lun how to gain energy, I will assist you.”

Bai Lun saw Shen Jingxian suddenly starting to speak to the air, yet wasn’t surprised at all.

Initially, he was the same way.

Looks like the system went to the Princess.

Understandably, the Princess seemed smarter than him.

Hmm… wait, what do you mean still bind with him?

In the end, through Shen Jingxian’s persuasion, Bai Lun reconciled with the system, and she found a way to save herself.

As long as Princess Yuan despairs, despairs enough to no longer wish to live in this world, the system can reclaim Princess Yuan, which is to say, the Heavenly Dao Energy.
