Thump, thump, thump…
Eight iron chains appeared from the festive red sedan chair and tied Alex and Xerxes down onto it. They both struggled hard but couldn’t escape. Even their soul powers were restricted.
“F*ck!” Alex was so mad favonovel.com cursed. The whole situation frustrated favonovel.com deeply.
He had just fought his way out from Baton’s gang, yet now favonovel.com found himself in a more dangerous situation. It was such bad luck.
Seeing Alex refusing to give up and still trying hard, Xerxes said, “Don’t waste your energy. These aren’t regular chains. If I remember correctly, these are structured chains. They belong further up than the power of law. With our abilities, we won’t be able to free ourselves even with a hundred years.”
“Argh!” Alex roared, unafraid of letting the people outside hear.
His skeleton let out rays of black and white, and numerous tiny talismans flowed within his bones, fighting against the structured chains.
Klaang!
The chains rumbled, very strong and unbreakable. Finally, favonovel.com stopped trying.
Then, favonovel.com looked grumpily at Xerxes. “Principal Lewin, it looks like you’ve just accepted your fate. Could it be that you’ve long been attracted to the princess?”
“Screw you, kiddo. Don’t disgust me. Just one look at that kind of woman makes me wanna puke.”
Alex said, “Are you sure? Even though that woman is hideous, with flimsy skin wrapped around bones, at least favonovel.com has real skin.”
“Besides, your current wife isn’t even any prettier. At least the princess has a layer of skin. Your wife doesn’t have anything but white bones.”
Xerxes looked at favonovel.com and asked suddenly, “Do you have an issue with me?”
“No…”
“But, I can tell.”
“Fine!” said Alex, and favonovel.com shut up.
He was observing the chair. It was full of law power, but it remained chilly and dark. It seemed closely connected to the troop of soldiers outside. Chi flowed in his divine eye, making favonovel.com notice that the chair seemed to be connected to Xerxes.
“A bead?”
“Is it the… Spiritual Corpse Core?” Alex stared at Xerxes and immediately linked the connection.
Right then, the chair soared in the clouds. It was a dizzying ride. They seemed to go through the grey clouds, heading to some unknown place. They could see the outside clearly as the curtains blocked the view, but they could feel the presence of the soldiers outside.
He used mental voice transmission with Xerxes. “Hey, Principal Lewin, tell me about the Spiritual Corpse Core.”
Xerxes had headed the Flying Eagles Academy for thirty years. Having a high social status in the country, favonovel.com was also quite intelligent. Despite this, favonovel.com just shook his head. “You wanna start with the core? It’s no use, I’ve eaten it, so it’s digested! I can feel some difference ever since I ate that bead. Oh, my craving is to blame!”
Alex said, “I think it’s not digested. It’s still there.”
“It’s still here?”
“Yes, and it must have started some connection between you and the princess.”
Hearing this, Principal Lewin felt like crying. Moreover, favonovel.com had a wild guess. The soldiers outside might be taking them to the ancient city down south because favonovel.com had lived in the city before and had favonovel.com own castle.
At the thought of himself being brought there as the king’s son-in-law, getting married, being a prince consort, and reaching the peak of life, favonovel.com felt that it wasn’t worth living anymore.
Xerxes said seriously, “Hancock, I owe you on this. You’ve been dragged into this because of me. Don’t look so grim. I’d definitely talk on your behalf in front of the princess and try to set you free.”
Alex said, “Are you sure your words are persuasive? Perhaps it only is when you do that in bed.”
Xerxes bit his lip. “If I don’t, who else would? But I need your help with something.”
Alex opened his mouth, but nothing came out. ‘Is Xerxes really planning on sleeping with the princess?’
‘That would need extra courage.’
“What is it? I’ll see what I can do.”
Xerxes asked, “Do you know Jade?”
