Chapter 248 Returning to the Original Position
Chapter 248 Returning to the Original Position
"Today, all of you are here to bear witness, so that we may not deny it later."
Emperor Nanqiu's expression at this moment was beyond ugly. After today, the reputation of Nanqiu and his prestige as the ruler of the country would be completely ruined.
"Now that the matter of compensation has been discussed and the birthday banquet has ended, I will take Lu Jinxian back with me."
Emperor Nanqiu couldn't wait for him to leave, lest he cause any more trouble here.
He's bound to have a lot of trouble coming his way from today onwards; it's giving him a headache.
Leng Qing turned around to look for Lu Jinxian, only to find that Lu Jinxian's spot was empty.
Leng Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and before Emperor Nanqiu could leave, he took Zhong Liyuan's hand and walked out of the hall.
On the other side, Lu Jinxian had already quietly left the main hall after noticing his father's hesitant attitude.
He thought no one had noticed him, but unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Leng Yi, who was waiting outside, as soon as he stepped out of the main hall.
Already injured, he had no chance of escaping Leng Yi's grasp.
As soon as Leng Qing returned to the embassy courtyard, she was met with Lu Jinxian's fierce eyes.
"How dare you kidnap me from the palace!"
"I am the Crown Prince, and my father and mother will not let you off the hook."
Leng Qing patted Lu Jinxian's pockmarked face, which was gnawed by poisonous insects, with a mocking smile on her face.
"You don't know yet, do you? Your good father has sacrificed you, and now you are at my disposal."
"Impossible. My father will not abandon me. I am still useful. My mother will not agree."
"What? After being the crown prince for two years, you really think of those two people as your parents?"
Lu Jinxian's face stiffened, and his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Leng Qingyi.
"Who are you? What do you know?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the imperial edict to depose the empress will be issued in the next few days."
"Impossible. My mother's family is very powerful. My father would not be willing to depose her."
"Compared to a country? Your mother's three children almost brought the entire country to ruin. Do you think she can still sit firmly on the throne as empress?"
"Don't be silly. There's no real affection in the royal family. Your good brother has been in Dongxia for half a year. Has anyone offered to save him? Even you didn't intend to care whether he lived or died."
"Similarly, they can abandon you without hesitation when their interests are threatened."
Lu Jinxian's face turned pale; he knew that the Emperor of Dongxia had not lied to him.
He was truly abandoned, becoming a discarded pawn just like his fifth brother.
"Oh, right, I haven't said hello to you yet, System."
"Protecting him has been very difficult lately, hasn't it? You must have used up a lot of your energy."
The system, trembling in the corner of Lu Jinxian's mind, felt completely uneasy upon hearing Leng Qingyi's voice, which sounded like a devil's whisper.
Without his lifeline and unable to earn points, the host is further demoted to a commoner. With even his luck gone, what hope does he have left?
All these days, he has been working so hard to keep Lu Jinxian alive in order to gather energy by relying on the luck of a crown prince, so that one day he can reconnect Lu Jinxian's manhood.
As a result, not only did he fail to gain any luck from Lu Jinxian these past few days, but he also exhausted most of his own energy to save Lu Jinxian's life, and now he has difficulty speaking.
Now that Lu Jinxian has been crippled, his fate is still unknown, but he will most likely not survive.
Leng Qing tried to forcibly extract the system from Lu Jinxian.
There was still some resistance.
The trembling system felt the pulling force and became even more frightened.
This isn't a human at all; I can actually touch him. It's terrifying.
After thinking for a while, Leng Qing realized that force wouldn't work, so she decided to use strategy.
"System, do you want to live? To have a real body and truly experience the beauty of the world?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I have a way to give you a body."
"Impossible! How could a mere mortal like you do that?"
Leng Qingyi calmly took out a small turtle from the small pouch at her waist.
"Try to sense it; you should be able to feel the familiar magnetic field emanating from him."
The system, refusing to believe it, probed out a wisp of energy to sense the little turtle and actually sensed a power from the same source as itself.
"How is that possible? You're just a mortal."
"You don't need to know how I did it, you just need to tell me whether you want a body or not."
"Yes! I want it! But I don't want to be a turtle, I want to be a human!"
"no problem!"
Leng Qingyi pulled Leng Yi over directly.
"How is this body? Strong and healthy, handsome, and highly skilled in martial arts."
They then dragged Leng Er, who was hiding in the shadows, out.
"This one is a cold and aloof beauty, skilled in both medicine and poison."
"Oh, right, there's also this one, the burly, simple-minded, and physically strong type."
The system was overwhelmed by the choices of Leng Yi, Leng Er, and Leng San in front of it.
"I want a third one!"
Leng Qingyi really didn't expect that Leng San, who was just brought in to make up the numbers, would actually be chosen.
Are the aesthetics of their system world all so peculiar?
“No problem! Now you voluntarily leave Lu Jinxian’s body, and I will help you enter this new body.”
"Why should I believe what you say?"
"If I let you out now, you'll still have a body to choose from. But if I wait until you've used up some more energy and then just pull you out, you'll have nothing left. You might not even be able to find a turtle."
The system was successfully threatened; he could feel the pulling sensation he had just experienced.
If the opponent's power were even slightly stronger, he would be pulled out. Similarly, if his power were to weaken, the opponent could easily detach him from the host using the same force as before.
This person is truly cunning; he just finished scheming against Nanqiu and now he's scheming against him.
"I'm out, you better not lie to me."
"Don't worry, it's reliable."
Sensing the system's power clinging to Lu Jinxian disappear, Leng Qingyi quickly pulled the system out.
A small, light gray ball of light landed in her hand, and the next moment a golden ball of light, more than twice the size of the light gray ball of light, flew out from behind the screen.
It swallowed the entire light gray orb in one gulp.
There was only a scream before Lu Jinxian's system completely disappeared from this world.
"Reliable? Yeah, right!"
"Waaaaah, host, I can finally come out! I don't have to be a baby anymore!"
At that very moment, a thunderclap broke out in broad daylight, and Leng Qing suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning curved and struck Leng Qingyi from outside.
His fair face instantly turned completely black.
Lu Jinxian, who was panicking about losing his system, burst into laughter when he saw this scene.
"You've been struck by lightning! I'm a transmigrator, the chosen one of this world. Give me back the system, or you'll be struck by lightning and die."
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Leng Qing grabbed Lu Jinxian from the ground and used him as a shield for his head.
Lu Jinxian was struck by lightning, exhaled a puff of black smoke, and passed out.
"Even a single lightning bolt can't withstand this garbage."
Just as the next bolt of lightning was about to strike, the system roared.
"Host, it's time to return to your original position!"
