A few days later, as agreed, Jiang Si returned to school wearing a mask.
After the college entrance examination, all the schools were on holiday and there were hardly any people. He jumped over from the playground and had no trouble getting through.
To avoid arousing Keke's suspicion, he waited until Keke was asleep before coming over.
Keke kept insisting on sleeping on the floor in her room for the past two days, but she couldn't stand it after two days.
I've always slept on soft beds since I was a child, because I said my back would hurt after sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor.
How can a child have a waist and yet suffer from back pain?
I exercised every day when I was a kid and I never broke my back, I'm just being dramatic.
Keke was still thinking of having him sleep on the floor and giving her the bed.
That was utterly delusional. Jiang Si kicked her out of the house, and for the past two days she's been obediently sleeping in her own room.
He made sure Keke was fast asleep before going downstairs.
So I don't have to keep asking myself where I'm going.
Lately, I always have to ask myself what I'm going to do whenever I go out. Even when my mother was still alive, she wasn't as nagging.
After turning around and entering the classroom, the surrounding environment changed in an instant.
The Prince sat on the lectern, exuding an air of authority akin to that of a king on a throne. "Welcome, my fiancé."
Upon hearing this address, Jiang Si perked up slightly.
Not bad, it immediately reminded me of my own engagement annulment storyline.
The anticipation is off the charts.
Before he could even sit down, the Prince stretched out another foot in front of him.
She wore a pair of pretty, delicate blue leather shoes and white stockings that went past her knees. Her slender feet weren't very big, and she deliberately showed a bit of the white stockings, lifting them slightly so they were almost in front of Jiang Si.
"What are you doing?"
"A kiss on the feet—you are both my fiancé and a distinguished guest, so I grant you permission to perform this gesture."
Jiang Si grabbed her foot, about to lift her up and throw her out of the classroom.
Unexpectedly, the Prince took off his shoes and sat back down.
Jiang Si ignored it and simply tossed the shoes out the window.
The Prince's lips twitched, and he pulled his right leg back, slightly tugging at his skirt to cover his feet.
"This is a one-time exception," Si Motu said coldly. "If you dare stick your foot out again, I'll chop it off."
"It's just a matter of etiquette..."
"Don't give me any lectures on etiquette, I don't understand them. All I know is that if you dare make me bow my head, I'll kill you."
Seeing the other person frown, and a hint of displeasure in their eyes, I noticed...
Jiang Si was extremely satisfied.
Great, the annulment process is about 30% complete.
We need to intensify our efforts and make things more difficult for them.
It would be troublesome if they didn't want to call off the engagement later.
After returning home, Jiang Si pondered for a long time and discovered the biggest hidden danger in this annulment plot.
If the Prince ultimately refuses to annul the engagement, all her plans will be in vain.
Therefore, we must make a concerted effort to get the Prince in front of us to want to annul the engagement.
"Alright." Prince Highness got off the lectern and hopped on one foot to the window.
With a wave of his hand, the shoe flew up and landed back in his hand. "My apologies for my rudeness. I wonder what Si Motu has suddenly summoned me for?"
Jiang Si, with her hands in her coat pockets, looked at the Prince who was bending over to put on his shoes, and asked, "What do you mean by having Xilan take out a loan?"
It didn't really matter, since the Witch Association's loan couldn't reach him anyway.
But the other party's behavior itself was problematic, which gave him a perfect opportunity to challenge them.
After bending down to put on his shoes, Prince gently tapped the ground to make sure they fit, then squatted down and looked up at Si Motu: "Didn't you ask to obtain as many Witch Potion as possible?"
" Xilan has no money, and everything in the Witch Association costs money. Without a loan, I'm afraid we won't be able to get enough Witch Potion. A ton of Witch Potion should be enough for your appetite, right?"
Jiang Si sneered, " The Witch Association? That's just loan sharks acting on their own initiative."
He wanted to stay a little longer, acknowledging Si Motu's identity.
The Prince then used his identity as Si Motu to borrow fifty million, taking on the high-interest debt of the Witch Association. He either had to abandon his identity or actually pay the money.
"But you have my black card," the Prince said with a smile, "You don't lack this money."
Upon seeing the boy pull out ten shattered black gold cards from his pocket and lay them out on the table, the Prince and girl looked surprised. "Oh dear, what happened? They're all broken!"
Stop pretending.
Jiang Si picked up a black gold card that was only half intact and then flicked it lightly.
The half of the black gold card shattered into pieces on the ground.
"There's something wrong with the material of your card. I was careful enough, but it still broke."
"Is it possible that you used too much force?" The Prince looked at him innocently. "I assure you, these ten black cards are usable."
Jiang Si didn't exchange any more words with her, only coldly saying, "Regardless of whether it's usable or not, the fact that it's broken is the problem."
"But this was your fault," the Prince said innocently. "It wasn't our problem."
"Just tell me if you can fix it."
"Sure."
The Prince then said, "However, I'll need Si Motu's help."
"What?"
"Help us retrieve Miss Iris's Miracle Seed from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau."
Jiang Si fell silent.
At that moment, he finally realized something.
He may be standing at a turning point in his life.
You need to know.
The Great Emperor of fantasy web novels, a supreme artistic Masterpiece appears only once in a lifetime, the undisputed benchmark of refreshing novels, redefining the height of fighting spirit narrative, the pinnacle of three years of hard work, the luck of all readers, the second best world classic to date, the perfect work after Platinum Potato's hard drive was burned -- why did Flame Emperor Yan keep his history of being rejected in marriage.
Instead of emulating the deeds of the Black-Clad Sword Saint and destroying this record.
It was because Flame Emperor chose to spread his fame throughout the world rather than live in seclusion!
That's why the name of Flame Emperor is now known throughout all the heavens and myriad realms.
Do you not see that Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor still exist today, but do you not know the soul of the Sword Saint of yesteryear!
The charm of the story of Flame Emperor's rise to power has allowed it to be sung far and wide. People from any world who hear it are likely to feel indignant at first, and then their blood boils with rage, thus continuously inspiring future generations.
Therefore, making the right choice is very important.
At this moment, Jiang Si faces two choices that could influence the future of the world.
There will always be people in the world who don't read online novels, and there will always be people who don't read " Battle Through the Heavens." Those who don't read it may find it hard to realize that they are at a turning point in their lives. This is when Jiang Si needs to make a choice and take the initiative to guide them.
So, is there a possibility?
Is the prince of the Mirror Kingdom not Nalan Yanran?
It's actually Yun Hailan!
Prince, isn't that just a crown prince?!
Very likely!
No, I have to do it carefully.
If we let her take the lead like this, the future developments could very well go astray!
Jiang Si then asked, "What do you mean?"
"After Full Bloom, the Miracle Seed is lost, so Full Bloom Magical Girls don't have Miracle Seed," the Prince said seriously. "We also have no way of investigating what changes occurred to the Miracle Seed of Full Bloom Magical Girls. But now we have Magical Girl Iris, who, despite Full Bloom, didn't die, and her Miracle Seed didn't disappear. Her Miracle Seed is of great significance."
At this point, the Prince's expression turned solemn. "If we can obtain Miss Iris's Miracle Seed, we might be able to create a perfect Full Bloom Magical Girl. Then, we'll no longer have to worry about the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's oppression and expulsion!"
At this point, the Prince exuded an air of dominance, declaring, " The Land of Mirrors will ultimately rule this world!"
"I see."
Jiang Si finally understood why the Prince had taken a liking to her.
Neither the Land of Mirrors nor the Witch Association is a match for the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, especially Iris is currently within the headquarters.
There's no way to achieve this through force.
The Prince clearly hadn't intended for him to force his way into the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's headquarters, given his formidable strength.
However, they are besieged by a group of magical girls from the headquarters, as well as by the unknown methods of the Incubators.
Forcing one's way into the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is undoubtedly a sign of clouded judgment and utter idiocy!
The only way to snatch the Miracle Seed of the Iris is through one's extraordinary wisdom!
She really does look a lot like Yun Hailan.
No wonder they were willing to adopt such a humble attitude.
In this respect, the entire Witch Association and the Old World are probably unmatched.
Things are valued for their rarity.
Behind him lies the entire online literature world!
but...
What if I don't want to?
If I agree immediately, what if the other person's feelings towards me improve, and they no longer want to call off the engagement?
Jiang Si chose to lower her favorability rating.
"My mind and wisdom are not always useful."
He appropriately belittled himself.
As we all know, the biggest reason for breaking off an engagement is that the man is a useless person.
If the woman can make the man feel that he is a good-for-nothing with no talent, then the annulment of the engagement will come naturally.
Then, Jiang Si pulled out her trump card.
"Furthermore, I can no longer transform into the Calamity Dragon."
The classroom fell silent for a moment.
Watching the Prince's expression gradually change until it became cold and dangerous.
A surge of joy welled up inside him.
No problem, it works!
Indeed, the most fitting match for annulment is a fallen genius!
"Can it be found?"
" Si Motu, can you really not transform into the Calamity Dragon anymore?"
The Prince took a deep breath, calming himself. "This ability, I suppose, can be regained."
Jiang Si for a moment.
There are still too few audience members in this environment.
The atmosphere wasn't right.
If the sense of humiliation isn't strong enough, then the effect of breaking off the engagement and re-establishing the connection at Misty Cloud Mountain won't be as good.
At the very least, Xilan needs to be there; there needs to be an audience.
"I don't know, it should be okay, but it might not."
The Prince's eyes flickered. "Why can't I suddenly transform into the Calamity Dragon?"
"A curse from the Calamity Curse Realm."
Jiang Si casually replied, "The curse prevents me from transforming."
"I will help you break the curse and regain your power."
Seeing the other person's anxious expression, Jiang Si smiled slightly.
It's done.
If he can avoid breaking off the engagement in the future, Jiang Si will gouge out his eyes and feed them to Keke.
Ultimately, what the other side is after is their intelligence, as well as a portion of the Calamity Dragon's combat power.
Now I confess, wisdom is sometimes useless, and the Calamity Dragon cannot transform.
In the other party's eyes, he was like the Flame Emperor, who was unable to cultivate.
The Prince's innate arrogance and status clearly wouldn't allow her to marry a good-for-nothing like him.
"Don't worry, ally."
Sure enough, even the way they address each other has changed.
She quickly turned her fiancé into an ally.
Ah, women.
"You can tell us about the technology behind the Calamity Dragon first," the Prince said, his crimson eyes flashing. "We will find a solution for you."
"The technology of the Land of Mirrors is the best in the world!"
But Si Motu shook his head. "You'll tell you the technique to transform into Calamity Dragon? And then you'll kick me away like a stray dog, won't you?"
"Our Land of Mirrors would never do such a thing."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Jiang Si's tone carried a hint of resentment, "You must be thinking of breaking off the engagement with me, right? Being engaged to a powerless piece of trash like me must be a disgrace to you, right?"
"But if we break off the engagement here, no one will see, and you can't humiliate me! Let's wait until there are more people around!"
The Prince was stunned.
What is this guy talking about?
Did they go mad after losing their powers?
How did it suddenly jump to announcing the engagement? What is humiliation? Why would I humiliate him?
Why wait until there are many people around?
But before that...
"We never signed a marriage contract," the Prince said quietly. "It was just a verbal agreement, so how can you talk about annulment?"
Jiang Si was struck dumb, frozen in place.
Oh no, he completely forgot! The most important Contract wasn't written down!
The ten black gold cards had taken away his composure, to the point that he forgot about this crucial step.
The most crucial step in annuling the engagement is snatching the Contract, writing it as a divorce decree, and throwing it in the Prince's face.
That simply cannot be achieved!
Without this step, how could she have angered the Prince and made him agree to a three-day agreement?
If that's the case, wouldn't we really be entering the timeline of " The Holy King "?!
He stole the precious pill, and then got kicked away...
Jiang Si fell silent.
The Prince was about to offer some words of comfort.
Even if she's a useless person, she has no reason to break the contract.
The Land of Mirrors isn't incapable of supporting useless people.
Before he could even speak, Jiang Si suddenly said, "Actually, I just realized that my power as the Calamity Dragon has returned."
"..."
The Prince stared at him speechlessly, "Your Calamity Dragon power is hot-swappable?"
"No, it's probably because I was so excited just now that it instantly brought back my strength."
To prove she wasn't lying, Jiang Si even transformed herself.
A miniature version of the Calamity Dragon, although its pupils have turned golden yellow—the effect of the Emperor's Curse—its scales remain jet black.
As long as the Emperor's power is not actively triggered, it will not enter the second stage, the Golden Calamity Dragon King.
"No, that's not the problem..." The Prince rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat tired. "Suddenly saying he lost his power and then suddenly saying he regained it—if he weren't my fiancé, I would definitely be angry, Si Motu. I don't like being played."
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Si apologized without hesitation.
As for the Prince, she was also aware of Si Motu's indifference and arrogance.
This guy is so arrogant, it's quite commendable that he's even willing to apologize.
The Prince's initial annoyance vanished instantly, and he waved his hand magnanimously, "It's alright, let's continue our discussion about Miss Iris's Miracle Seed..."
"So let's get engaged first."
Is this guy really human?
Or perhaps its head is actually similar to that of Calamity Beast.
So every time they talk, their thoughts wander off into the distance, making it impossible to have a proper conversation?
Si Motu said seriously, "I will go and retrieve the Miracle Seed of the Iris, but before that, you must sign Contract. I need a definite marriage certificate."
The Prince wasn't angry; he just looked at him with amusement.
So, this guy was really captivated by my charm?
Haha, no wonder you suddenly said you had no strength.
Was it because she was afraid he would abandon her?
Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.
Because the marriage agreement was only verbal, he felt insecure, so he tested himself by losing his power.
When you truly have thoughts of not wanting to fulfill the marriage agreement, tell him that the marriage agreement was only a verbal agreement and not mandatory.
Si Motu was frightened.
I'm afraid of really losing myself!
Ah, men.
Even though they desperately want it, they still put on an indifferent and aloof act.
He was so proud that he only broke down when he was about to be dumped.
This person seems so eager and impatient, wanting to confirm their relationship.
How adorable!
After the Prince had sorted out his thoughts, he became more relaxed.
The reason they had previously adopted a humble stance and always yielded to the other party was because they were afraid that the other party didn't care about them or the Land of Mirrors at all, which would lead to the failure of their efforts to win them over.
Now that she was certain the other person was completely captivated by her, she was neither in a hurry nor flustered.
Indeed, with my beauty, Yitaen, how could any man in this world not be captivated?
Even Si Motu was just an ordinary man.
No need for much effort, you can conquer others simply with your looks!
"No need to rush."
The Prince smiled slightly, "The marriage agreement can be signed at any time."
"It's better to sign now."
They might take the opportunity to break off the engagement when they meet again, and if they don't sign now, they might miss their chance!
"Since you're so insistent, it's not impossible."
The Prince walked to the blackboard and gently erased it.
The blackboard then began to flash, as if some system had been activated.
Immediately afterwards, numerous large characters began to appear on the blackboard, densely packed together.
Upon closer inspection, the words on it are about a marriage contract.
"Just sign your name and put your fingerprint on it."
The Prince was the first to sign his name.
Si Motu there dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected the blackboard to turn into a marriage agreement, and simply asked, "Isn't this a bit risky?"
"Once you sign here, it will be recorded in the Land of Mirrors's system," the Prince explained. "It won't disappear; it's the safest way."
The question is, what am I supposed to throw at you with?
How can this marriage contract be changed into a divorce certificate?
Taking a deep breath, Si Motu said in a deep voice, "No, this is not in accordance with our customs. I want to sign the marriage contract in our own way."
The Prince frowned and said coldly, "My patience is also limited."
"Don't worry, it'll be quick, it won't waste too much time," Jiang Si, then promised, "We can talk about it after I get the Miracle Seed of the Iris."
Since the other party had made such a promise, the Prince was happy to agree.
"Then we'll wait for your good news..."
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Your Highness to poach people from our Witch Association 'Prince Guild?"
Just as it was about to end, some discordant sounds suddenly appeared.
The Prince suddenly looked up and saw Jialan staring at the two of them with a sinister gaze, as if she had suddenly appeared in the glass of the back door.
" Si Motu is a member of my Witch Association."
Frowning, wondering how the other party had come looking for him, he saw the Shuangsheng behind Jialan.
The girl held her head high and stood tall, a far cry from her previous submissive demeanor.
"I've come to settle scores with you! Prince! How dare you bully my Shuangsheng! You'll regret this!"
As he said this, the Shuangsheng kicked open the back door, walked to Si Motu's side, and picked up the broken black gold card next to them.
"To deceive the legendary Si Motu of the Witch Association with counterfeit black gold cards, and even attempt to control Si Motu's funds through loans! This is simply unforgivable!"
The Prince immediately glanced at Si Motu. Seeing that the young man showed no reaction, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then coldly asked, "Where's the evidence?"
" The Huazhou Bank's black gold cards are issued based on fixed assets," Jialan smiled slightly. " The Land of Mirrors has been sealed for so long, where would it get fixed assets? And how could you possibly produce ten black gold cards? Even the Witch Association and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau couldn't just pull out ten black gold cards and give them away in one go."
"All the black gold cards are clones, and half of them come from the Ice-Colored Era Group. If you spend 100,000 on a cloned black gold card, it will be locked. Even Si Motu's personal account is at risk; it might be targeted by the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau."
The Shuangsheng loudly exposed the other's deception, "Lord Si Motu, she's using the black gold card to scam you! She's trying to harm you!"
The Prince fell silent, simply looking at Si Motu.
The young man smiled slightly.
"I believe Prince, Prince. You would never lie to me."
Even if you've been lied to, we'll talk about it after the engagement is called off.
The Shuangsheng stared at their eldest brother in disbelief.
Hey boss, she stole Master Bingtang Tang's money to scam you! How could you take her side?!
The classroom suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Yitaen felt his heart race for a moment.
She clutched her chest, feeling a bit short of breath.
"I never expected that you, a legend of the Witch Association," Jialan sighed, "Would be so easily fooled by a woman!"
" Shuangsheng, capture them both and take them back!"
The Shuangsheng turned to look at Jialan, pointed to themselves, and asked, "Huh? Am I alone?"
"Otherwise what?"
The Shuangsheng looked dejected. "That's not what you said when you came, Jialan Garan!"
"Don't be afraid, you are a legend no less than Si Motu!"
Those are all fake!
However, seeing the expectant look in Jialan's eyes, the Shuangsheng turned to look at the Prince and Si Motu.
"Aaaaaah!"
I mustered up my courage and ran forward! But halfway there, I tripped over a desk leg and fell straight to the ground.
He raised his head, his nose red and tears streaming down his face.
"Damn Si Motu and the Prince! Don't think you've won just like that!"
The Shuangsheng, lying on the ground, arched their backs, "Lord Jialan, I lose..."
Jialan kicked him away, "Forget it, I knew I couldn't count on him."
Having said that, he waved his hand.
Numerous Calamity Beast then appeared in the mirror.
The Prince's pupils contracted, and he immediately touched the crown on his head.
However, the Mirror Beast around them were completely out of her control and continued to stare at them fiercely.
His proud crimson eyes took on a cold glint as he looked at Jialan, "You stole technology from my Land of Mirrors?"
" The Witch Association never engages in unprofitable deals." Jialan revealed a carefree smile. " Little Wang, I'm sorry, Witch Association absolutely cannot accept Si Motu's departure; he must remain with the Witch Association!"
A multitude of Mirror Beast charged forward!
The Calamity Dragon grabbed the Prince and suddenly swept its thick tail around!
Numerous Mirror Beast were instantly smashed, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere!
However, more and more Mirror Beast kept rushing in from all directions, so the Calamity Dragon simply picked up the Prince and flew away.
The usually aloof Prince was now quietly nestled in the Calamity Dragon's arms, truly like a little girl.
" Si Motu..."
She called the other person's name softly.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually willing to turn against the Witch Association for her sake.
A pang of guilt suddenly gripped my heart.
She initially pretended to be generous and courteous, seeking cooperation and alliances, but in reality, she had many ulterior motives.
After all, having had so much contact with the Witch Association, she simply didn't trust Witch Association.
They could betray you at any moment.
But...
Why should you help me?
The engagement has not been dissolved!
As the Calamity Dragon spoke, it let out a roar!
The massive dragon's breath instantly pierced through the teaching building, and then the entire building exploded!
Yitaen took a deep breath.
Don't worry, Si Motu, my Prince is not such an ungrateful person.
The engagement will absolutely not be broken off!
boom!
Just as the Calamity Dragon was rampaging and swimming among the Mirror Beast.
A beam of light suddenly struck the Calamity Dragon's chest!
The unstoppable Calamity Dragon suddenly stopped!
"What kind of power do you think you're using?"
Jialan carried the unconscious Shuangsheng as they flew out of the exploded school building.
" The Calamity Dragon is a technology of our Witch Association. Although we can't use it, we have ways to make it unusable for you."
The Prince's expression changed, and he reached for something in his robes.
However, more beams of light enveloped the Calamity Dragon, Jialan suddenly grabbed the fishing net in his hand.
The Prince and the Calamity Dragon were both paralyzed and completely unable to move!
"You too, Yitaen. How long do you think I've been watching you guys?"
The Prince, seeing the immobilized Calamity Dragon, took a deep breath, then turned to look arrogantly at Jialan, "I surrender. Si Motu, he..."
However, in that dimly lit prison of beams of light, the Calamity Dragon suddenly raised its head.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from his pupils.
It spread rapidly throughout the entire body!
" Second Bloodburst."
The fishing net in Jialan's hand shattered instantly!
The numerous Mirror Beast froze in place, and on the playground, countless Mirror Beast knelt and prostrated themselves on the ground!
A gigantic Golden Calamity Dragon King covered the entire school!
" Golden Calamity Dragon King."
