Keyboard Warrior's Otherworldly Adventure
Chapter 354 The Princess's Smile
Li Jin swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing and making a clucking sound like a rooster being strangled. He struggled to sit up, only to find his whole body aching. Sophie's seemingly casual wave of her hand had actually contained such immense power.
"Princess... Princess Sophie... I... I didn't know it was her... I..." Li Jin stammered, cold sweat trickling down his forehead and dripping down his chin. He cursed his bad luck inwardly; he hadn't even had a few days of enjoyment after transmigrating, and he'd already run into a brick wall.
Sophie stared coldly at him, her long golden dress billowing without wind, like a proud god looking down upon ants. "Ignorance is no excuse for your evil deeds." Her tone was icy, each word piercing Li Jin's heart like an ice pick.
Huo Wu leaned weakly against Sophie, her face pale and her lips cracked. She looked at Sophie gratefully and said weakly, "Your Highness, thank you for saving my life."
Sophie gently patted Huo Wu's hand and said softly, "You rest well, leave the rest to me." After saying that, she turned her gaze to Li Jin again, her eyes even colder.
"How much of her spiritual energy did you absorb?" Sophie's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying a chilling aura.
Li Jin felt his soul trembling. He stammered, "No...not much...just...just a little bit..."
Sophie sneered, "A little bit? You think I'd believe your nonsense?" She slowly raised her right hand, and a dazzling golden light condensed in her palm, with lightning flickering within it, radiating a suffocating pressure.
Li Jin stared at the golden light, his heart filled with terror. He could feel that this power was enough to turn him to ashes in an instant.
"Wait! Your Highness! I have something to say!" Li Jin shouted in a panic. He was now filled with regret. If he had known that the other party was Princess Sophie, he would never have dared to lay a finger on Huo Wu!
Sophie stopped what she was doing, looked at him coldly, and said, "Speak."
"I...I come from another world..." Li Jin decided to take a gamble. He briefly explained his transmigration, but of course, he concealed the fact that he had come to this world by accident and did not know the rules here.
Sophie's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing his words, but she didn't completely believe Li Jin. "Another world? Hmph, do you think I'd believe such an absurd story?"
Li Jin quickly said, "Your Highness, I'm telling the truth! You can ask Huo Wu if you don't believe me; the power I use is completely different from that of this world!"
Huo Wu nodded weakly. "Your Highness, his power is indeed... very strange..."
Sophie fell into deep thought. Although Li Jin's words sounded absurd, Huo Wu's testimony forced her to reconsider. Moreover, Li Jin did indeed emanate an energy fluctuation different from that of this world.
"Even if you come from another world, that doesn't give you the right to hurt her!" Sophie still didn't completely trust Li Jin, but she decided to spare his life for the time being.
"I...I didn't mean to..." Li Jin said cautiously, "I just...wanted to test my strength..."
"Want to test your power?" A hint of mockery flashed in Sophie's eyes. "Is your power only for hurting innocent people?"
Li Jin quickly shook his head, "No...no...I...I'll never dare to do it again..."
Sophie snorted coldly, "You'd better remember what you said." She dissipated the golden light in her hand, but her eyes remained full of vigilance.
"Your Highness, since it's a misunderstanding, why don't we...why don't we just let it go?" Li Jin asked tentatively, wanting nothing more than to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
Sophie glanced at him, a sly glint in her eyes. "Trying to leave? Not so easy. You absorbed Fire Dance's spiritual energy; you must make amends."
Li Jin's heart skipped a beat; he knew Sophie wouldn't let him off easily. "Then...how does Her Highness wish for compensation?"
Sophie's lips curled into a charming smile, but to Li Jin, it was like the smile of a devil. "It's simple, you'll be working for me from now on."
Li Jin was stunned. "Following you?"
"What? You don't want to?" Sophie raised an eyebrow, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
Li Jin hurriedly replied, "I'm willing! I'm willing!" Inwardly, he was groaning. What was this? Had he jumped from one fire pit into another? Looking at Sophie's stunning face, a sudden, ominous premonition welled up within him. He had a feeling that following this woman...wouldn't bring peace...
