Originally, Pu Xike thought he was going to return to "Qianlong", but unexpectedly, the emperor arranged for him to stay in the palace.

To be honest, the emperor's intentions could not be more obvious.

These days, the queen always comes to visit Pushik with a few young and handsome males.

It can be seen that the queen, as the mother of a country, turned into a matchmaker, working hard to recommend outstanding young males from the royal family and aristocracy to the other party, just to retain high-quality females like Pushik.

Of course, the queen also understood that good things should be kept within the family, so during this period of time, she would always bring her own children along, just to try to gain a chance of impressing Pushik, even if it was just to serve the king.

In this way, Pushik rejected the queen many times, but the other party still enjoyed it and came to her more frequently.

Until an unexpected man appears...

At this time, Pushik was staring at Dirk Frey, wondering why this man came to visit today.

"Why all you?" Pu Xike raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.

The man crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, "It's because Rhine has been stuffing some males in during the time he's been seeing the Queen Mother. He was afraid that you'd be bothered but didn't dare to offend the Queen, so he sent me here to save the situation."

"Oh..." Pushik responded calmly.

"Oh? I helped you get rid of your mother's blind date, and you just said 'Oh' and treated me perfunctorily?" Dirk Frey was a little exasperated by Pushik's attitude.

Pushik ignored the man's anger and asked, "Reinhardt, what is he busy with now?"

Dirk Frey was almost amused by this. This female actually dared to ignore him and ask about other men instead.

"I don't know! Marshal Tempest is busy with all kinds of things. Why would a woman like you worry about it?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's words.

Pushik didn't take it to heart. She was just thinking that she had been living in the palace for almost a week. According to the agreement with Reinhardt, more than half of her deadline for assisting the special search team in investigating the rebels had passed. No matter what the result was, she had to leave Epirus.

However, now she owed Reinhardt a favor. The stone tablet that was part of the collection shattered after the cipher on it was deciphered, and Reinhardt thus wasted a privilege.

Originally, Pushik was prepared to bear the responsibility herself, but Reinhardt was worried that Pushik would be coerced because she owed a favor to the royal family, so he used this one-time privilege for her.

After all, Pushik is not an ungrateful person, so she is also thinking about how to repay Reinhardt's favor.

Although she knew that Reinhardt had some special feelings for her, Pushik was not good at responding to other people's expectations, especially matters between men and women.

"I want to meet Reinhardt." Pushik looked at Dirk Frey, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Huh?" Deke Frey felt offended. "What do you think I am? Your servant? And you can see the Imperial Marshal whenever you want? Female, I advise you not to get too carried away!"

"Is this guy really angry? He has such a bad temper."

Pushik was complaining in his heart, but his face remained calm. "I just want you to tell Reinhardt. Since you don't want to, I will have to go to him myself."

It was not difficult for Pushik to find Reinhardt. As long as he was still in Epirus, he could meet him at any time.

"Tsk!" Dirk Frey smacked his lips. He originally wanted to see the other party beg him, but Pushik didn't care at all.

This inevitably made Dirk Frey a little angry. He couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of the domineering look of this female.

"Okay! Don't you just want to see Rhine? I can arrange it for you." Dirk Frey changed the subject and agreed to the other party's request.

While Pushik was still wondering what the man was up to, Dirk Frey said with a wicked smile, "Let me fight you. Whether we win or lose, I will take you to... oh no, I will bring Reinhardt to see you. How about it?"

Dirk Frey had wanted to "compete" with Pushik early in the morning, but due to Reinhardt's obstruction, he never found the opportunity.

Pushik is very powerful, and this was confirmed again in the museum that day.

Even he and Reinhardt were frightened by the sudden appearance of the dragon, but she was able to defeat it easily. Such a powerful female couldn't help but arouse Dirk Frey's desire to win.

He came to see Pushik today not just to fulfill his promise to Reinhardt, but also to take the opportunity to test the other party's strength.

"Okay!" Pu Xike agreed readily. After all, she also wanted to try her new power.

……

In the arena, Pushik and Dirk Frey faced off.

"I didn't expect there would be such a place in the palace." Pushike said with some surprise.

Dirk Frey explained, "This is the Royal Arena, a place specially set up for duels between royal families or nobles."

"However, in order to ensure that this competition is not affected and we can both enjoy it, I have deliberately dismissed all irrelevant personnel in the arena."

After hearing what he said, Pushik realized early on that this huge arena was empty.

"This 'competition' should not be a simple competition, right?" Pu Xike raised his eyes, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Likewise, Deke Frey couldn't wait any longer and readily admitted, "Yes, I won't show mercy just because you're a female."

"Same here. I won't let you go just because you're a prince."

The two provoked each other and a fight was about to break out.

Pushik showed her lightsaber as usual, intending to test the opponent's background first.

Strike first!

Pushik took the lead and rushed to Dirk Frey at an extremely fast speed, then swung a sword.

After all, it was a competition. Even though he was shouting at his opponent verbally, Pushik still left room for maneuver when he made his move.

"Hey! Are you looking down on me?"

The man snorted coldly, and a ball of black... flame condensed in his palm? !

Dirk Frey raised her hand and grasped the lightsaber that Pushik was swinging at her. The black flame in her palm immediately broke the lightsaber in her hand, and then it turned into countless light spots and dissipated in the air.

Pushik was shocked and quickly distanced herself from Dirk Frey. The strange black flame made her feel uneasy.

"Ashi, what is that?"

"Warning: Dark Flame, an energy body containing dark elements, counteracts your light elemental ability."

After listening to the explanation of Alaya-vijnana, the uneasiness on Pushik's face quickly faded away and was replaced by excitement.

This is the proper way to compete! If I was beaten unilaterally, it would be too boring.

The lightsaber that was broken by Dirk Frey quickly gathered the surrounding light and reshaped itself.

After the test just now, Pushik is ready to take real action.

Seeing the other party's serious attitude, Dirk Frey changed his usual casual attitude and his eyes revealed a desire for battle.

"Very good! That's the look. You deserve my full effort!"
