"Your Highness, the concentration of spiritual energy is so high, is your body okay?"

After Duke Booker issued a notice to the entire duchy, Claire immediately left Booker City.

And just as the Duke had predicted, not long after the three of them walked out of the city, a large amount of free spiritual power suddenly appeared in the environment.

Of course, these spiritual powers seriously interfered with the operation of fighting spirit and magic - although Xia Ye didn't feel anything, there were obviously some problems with Keliya and Kuran's bodies.

"My fighting spirit and magic power are no longer able to function, and these spiritual powers are still constantly entering my body... Why is this happening?"

"...Your Highness the Princess has a rare dual cultivation physique, so there may be something special about her."

Kuran was indeed affected by the spiritual power, but he usually exercised quite enough, so his physical strength and athletic ability were still sufficient.

——But Claire, who usually doesn’t pay much attention to physical exercise, doesn’t have that much physical strength.

"Something is not right. These spiritual powers are occupying my fighting spirit veins and magic power circuits... They are already flowing in my body."

"There is no other way. We must go back as soon as possible to let Miss Karin and Miss Zhuying check it out. Your Highness, I think it will be faster if I carry you on my back."

"This is the only way... Sorry to bother you, Sister Xia Ye."

Xia Ye had already broken through the forbidden level, so her physical strength was almost endless.

After she carried Klia on her back, she immediately demonstrated her amazing jumping ability and agility, and moved quickly with large leaps.

But surprisingly, Kuran managed to keep up with her.

"Huh... Butler, you're too fast..."

"This is an emergency. I don't have time to consider whether you can keep up."

"Fortunately, I exercise regularly..."

Running at full speed, the three of them quickly found the off-road vehicle that was hidden far away from the city - fortunately, the vehicle was powered by carbon uranium, otherwise they would never be able to go back today.

Since Keliya was not in good condition, Xia Ye was the driver. However, when the breathless Kulan thought he could take a break, the unusually violent jolt dispelled his illusion.

Xia Ye’s driving skills are actually more brutal than Keliya’s!

"This is terrible treatment - I want more money!"

"Shut up, or I won't care if your tongue falls off."

Amid the extremely terrifying shaking and swinging, Kuran quickly gave up thinking.

However, even in this situation, he still carefully helped to observe Claire's condition - Her Royal Highness the Princess was sweating all over, and it was obvious that she was much weaker than before.

If this continues, it might be dangerous!

"Your Highness is not in good condition! Please drive faster!"

"Got it—sit tight."

Thus, Kuran had an unforgettable ride.

……

"We're here... Please leave His Highness to me, and go find your own members."

Although Xia Ye drove back to town as fast as he could, the environment here was no different.

The environment was filled with spiritual energy, and one could even clearly see countless faintly glowing dark red particles in the air.

And for some reason, these spiritual powers continued to invade Klia's body, forcibly expelling her original strength.

"Miss Karin, is anyone——"

Because there was no time to consider etiquette, Xia Ye directly carried the nearly unconscious Keliya into the building that was originally used as their base.

But the first person she saw in the building was Duke Ophir, who happened to be at the entrance.

"What happened? What happened to Claire?"

"Your Excellency the Duke... Her Highness Princess has absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy for some reason, and is now quite weak. But my companions may have some solutions."

"Your companions...if you're talking about the wolf woman and the pink-haired maid, they're inside."

Although Xia Ye was very nervous now, she was still keenly aware that Duke Oufei subconsciously showed his true attitude when he saw the unconscious Claire.

That was not love between men and women, but rather care similar to that of family members - so Xia Ye immediately remembered the story that Jiang Yue had told him at that time.

The deceased wife of Duke Oufei was once like a sister to Clary... So maybe Duke Oufei at that time also regarded Clary as his sister.

Even though the two of them could no longer maintain that family-like relationship for some reason, Duke Oufei was actually not as cold as he appeared.

"No wonder the young master chose to trust him... Has he seen through his disguise?"

——Aarons once said that he had a very accurate eye for people, and this was probably not an exaggeration.

"Ms. Karin, Ms. Zhuying...you are here."

"What's going on outside... Princess?! What happened?!"

"I'll explain it later. Please find a way to extract the spiritual energy from Her Highness first. Her body has absorbed too much spiritual energy and is in a very bad condition."

After handing Keliya over to his reliable colleague, Xia Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She first reached out to take off her glasses and gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, then she let out a helpless sigh.

"...Duke Booker is not planning to attack us. He is planning to force out the hidden enemy."

"We'll talk about that later! Miss Xia Ye, the spiritual power in Her Royal Highness the Princess' body... is completely beyond my control!"

Xia Ye, who thought that the problem could be quickly solved by handing it over to Karin, who could manipulate spiritual power, became nervous again after hearing this disturbing answer.

Karin couldn't draw out the spiritual power from Keliya? Why?

"Detection. Confirmed that a large number of active free carbon uranium particles are deeply integrated into body tissues... I don't know what's going on."

"You don't know either? Damn..."

What’s even more surprising is that even Zhuying couldn’t tell what was wrong with Clary’s body.

So the huge responsibility and dangerous choice fell on Xia Ye all of a sudden - she had to decide immediately whether to let Zhu Ying send Keliya back to the border as quickly as possible, or continue to try to treat her here.

"There's no other way. Staying in this environment might get worse, so—"

"Please wait a moment... I may have some ideas."

However, before Xia Ye could express her decision, someone suddenly walked into the room from outside and interrupted her.

"I happen to have a psychic blocker on my hand, which was left by my wife... Put it on Her Highness the Princess, it should be able to relieve her symptoms."

The person who walked into the room was, of course, Duke Oufei - but by this time he had returned to his usual indifference, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

"No doubt about it... She had similar symptoms when she was a child, and she was cured with this thing at that time."
