The Prince decided to pretend that he was completely infatuated with Si Motu.
Although she had already made up her mind the moment Si Motu became associated with the Azure Cloud Sect.
No matter how much she stood up for herself under Jialan in the past, now that Si Motu is getting too close to the Azure Cloud Sect, she can no longer trust Si Motu wholeheartedly.
However, it's impossible to simply abandon Si Motu.
The Land of Mirrors still needs the power of the Si Motu, or rather, the entire Old World still needs the power of the Si Motu.
The subsequent Full Bloom Plan... oh, now I should say the Prove the Fire in Heaven Plan, requires the assistance of the Si Motu.
Therefore, agreeing to the engagement with Si Motu was merely a temporary measure.
She is a purely political creature, incapable of altering plans for personal gain or abandoning her own interests.
The Prince admits that he has unusual feelings for Si Motu.
As Prince who has lived independently since childhood, she has never received any protection and has always only had business dealings with others.
When Si Motu unconditionally protected and trusted her, she did not deny that she felt a momentary flutter in her heart.
But it only lasted for a moment.
She is the cruel, ruthless, and indifferent prince of the Mirror Kingdom, a woman destined to become the queen of the old world!
Even Si Motu, even her fiancé, could be used as a stepping stone!
If this is her own feeling, then she will use it along with her feelings.
Her act of feigning submission in front of Si Motu was nothing more than part of her plan.
Only by deceiving yourself first can you deceive Si Motu.
[Are you saying that everything you did just now was merely to lower Si Motu and make him serve you wholeheartedly?]
"Certainly."
The Prince limped toward the end of the Mirror Space.
Now that Si Motu has left, she no longer needs to hide anything. "If I can get him to serve my Land of Mirrors, what's wrong with giving him a little something in return?"
[That makes sense, but I couldn't tell that your performance just now was acting.]
"If it were obvious at a glance, wouldn't that give us away?"
The Prince's voice carried an undeniable arrogance and confidence, "Once the plan is over, you'll see who's been completely fooled, and who's truly indispensable. One day, I'll show you the sight of Si Motu clinging to my leg, begging for my mercy!"
[Suggestion: If that's the case, you should first throw away all the fish that Si Motu caught for you, to show your contempt for Si Motu.]
"Oh."
The Prince scoffed, "To deliberately throw away the things he gave me, doesn't that just prove how much you care about him? They were just things I didn't care about anyway. Do you really think a few fish can win my heart? Don't you think too cheaply of me, System?"
[I apologize for overstepping my bounds, but I always felt you should have shown more backbone...]
"Only those who can bend and stretch can truly rule!"
The Prince said decisively, "It's just a trivial grievance. Now that we've appeased Si Motu and made him work for us, we'll suffer no loss if we fail, and we'll make a huge profit if we succeed!"
[Your Majesty is wise! Apart from Si Motu, there is no one else in either the Old World or the Witch Association who can enter the headquarters...]
"Hehe."
Passing through the lens of the Mirror Space, the Prince arrived at the empty palace of the Land of Mirrors.
Rows of golden statues, magnificent crimson carpets, resplendent walls and ceilings, and imposing, stately load-bearing columns adorned with various carvings.
Of course, the most important one is still the one at the very top.
The crown sealed within the crystal pillar, as transparent as glass, is the core of all systems in the Land of Mirrors.
Only by wearing that crown can one truly become the king of the Land of Mirrors and obtain all the authority of the Land of Mirrors.
A burning desire rose in his heart, and for a moment he forgot all about Si Motu.
Forget about love and romance; only power matters.
Only strength is truly reliable and will never betray you!
[Reminder: A system search revealed no engagement-related documents at the New World Civil Registry. According to official documents, there is no such thing as an engagement document. Prince Highness, please double-check your documents.]
The Prince was taken aback by the system's notification.
Then, leaning against the supporting pillar, he picked up the document and read it carefully.
Si Motu prepared two copies of the engagement documents, one for each of them, and both sides signed them.
Now, after carefully examining the engagement documents, the heading does indeed say "engaged," but the content below is...
The more the Prince looked, the more excited he became, his face displaying a fanatical and arrogant expression.
Finally, she took the document, slapped it on her face, and burst into laughter.
For a moment, she felt a similar joy and exhilaration as her mother had when she first discovered New World.
[Question: Why are you smiling so happily? Is there a problem with the document? Is it an engagement document?]
You're right.
After laughing for a while, the Prince, having finally vented his emotions, stopped laughing, his voice even becoming a little hoarse.
His crimson eyes were filled with amusement and confidence. "It really wasn't an engagement document, it was a marriage certificate."
[Judgment: It's possible that Si Motu took the wrong document...]
"How could that be? He's not stupid."
The Prince said calmly, "You don't really think he's an illiterate idiot, do you? He gave me two copies; for such an important ceremony, and given how much he cares about it, he must have read them several times."
" Si Motu did it on purpose!"
[Reminder: Marriage documents are officially recognized in the New World. Currently, from the perspective of the New World's officials, you are already Si Motu's wife...]
"You've Return to Truth got a lot of tricks up your sleeve to win me over."
The Prince, with an expression that suggested he had already seen through the other person's intentions, said, "First, he deliberately said it was an engagement, then he pressed me step by step, giving me no room to breathe, using a feigned retreat to force me to sign the marriage certificate."
"He schemed and plotted against me all this time, just to marry me." The Prince couldn't help but chuckle. "Just how much does he love me? He's Return to Truth devoted! It's almost frightening. What if I dump him? Will he despair and commit suicide?"
[Rebuttal: I don't think so. Prince Highness is a bit too confident. There are other possibilities, such as the civil affairs bureau not having an engagement certificate and using a marriage certificate to appease him...]
There's no need to force him to give excuses like that.
The Prince waved his hand. "I don't really care. Even if I know he's completely infatuated with me, his senses are all messed up, he's having trouble breathing, and all his brainpower is focused on getting me, I still won't be confused at all. I know exactly what I'm going to do. I'm just relieved. Since he's so obsessed with me, the risk of his betrayal is a little lower."
[Agreed: You're right, but I still suggest proceeding with caution.]
Things are progressing very well right now; there's no need for too many changes to throw us into disarray.
The Prince of the Land of Mirrors gazed at the transparent throne.
"Not only Si Motu, but also everyone else from the Old World. I will use everyone to obtain the true origin of the world, and with thousands of corpses, I will achieve my own Full Bloom! The true king of the Old World! You, you all just watch."
The Prince of the Land of Mirrors probably wanted to use other people from the Old World to deceive Full Bloom.
To acquire true, Full Bloom power.
This is why Jiang Si revealed the reason for the Prove the Fire in Heaven.
The fact that others have Full Bloom may not be fake; the Prince most likely genuinely wants other people from the Old World to reach Full Bloom as well.
But these are undoubtedly just a smokescreen.
Once the Full Bloom Plan begins, the Incubators will definitely be watching closely.
Therefore, letting the other Old World Full Bloom was merely a way for them to draw attention; the real purpose was for the Prince to achieve a Perfect Full Bloom himself.
In terms of imagery, [ Heavenly Fire ] represents the Moonlight, symbolizing the fire of the sun and the moon, warming rivers and mountains, illuminating the universe, and is the Supreme way, the emperor among fires. Therefore, to prove [ Heavenly Fire ], one must be famous throughout the world, rule the world, have all directions pay homage, and govern both internally and externally!
This world is not just the entire overseas region including East China, West China, South China, North China, Cherry Blossom Island, and Star-Gazing, but also includes the Remnants of the Old World!
From the perspective of the imagery of the sun and moon, this world is the [sun], and the Remnants the Old World are the [moon]!
Therefore, if other Old World Old World are truly given the opportunity to Full Bloom, they will inevitably be placed in a subordinate position to the Land of Mirrors, becoming its ruler and subjects.
The Prince of the Land of Mirrors could be considered a king of the Old World.
In terms of imagery, it satisfies half of the requirements.
What about the remaining half?
If they want to help the Prince and maiden obtain the [ Heavenly Fire ], then all their subsequent actions will likely revolve around this world.
Dao Lord, myself, the Incubators, and the president of the Witch Association — Jiang Si's strength is unknown, but the Witch Association has survived to this day without being wiped out by the Incubators, so in terms of strength, relying solely on the Jialan district is not enough, and this president of the Witch Association should not be weak.
The game between the three Dao Lord —although Jiang Si didn't know where the game lay, since the Prove the Fire in Heaven had begun, the game had begun.
[ Heaven and Earth Chessboard ]! [ Great Fortune Pool ]! [ Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Diagram ]! [ Disciple of Fate Walking ]! [ Treatise on Gambling ]!
If his Kongzheng of various immortal cultivation techniques cannot help the Prince subdue the world and all living beings in this realm and achieve the desired perfection, then he also has some knowledge of the great Han chess skills.
For Jiang Si, he needed to see what method the Prince of the Land of Mirrors would use to achieve Perfect Full Bloom.
Although the Full Bloom of Dream Marrow was not indeed taken back by the world, in the end, it abandoned a powerful weapon like the Mental Image Domain and instead used Simple Domain around itself to prevent itself from being detected.
Furthermore, the Simple Domain has a power limit; exceeding the limit can easily cause the Simple Domain to collapse on its own.
It had no value to Jiang Si.
He is determined to gain control of the Mental Image Domain.
Using the Mental Image Domain as his personal Purple Mansion is also the key to taking another step on the path of cultivation and embarking on the path of Soul Transformation.
On the other hand, he was also very curious about what his field would actually be like.
If it is a manifestation of Mental Image, then can that domain reveal the true world of cultivation to itself?
Jiang Si is very much looking forward to the results of her work in the Mental Image Domain.
I hope I won't let myself down.
After leaving the Mirror Space, Jiang Si took another look at the engagement documents.
He went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and asked for a long time whether there was an engagement document, but the staff kept saying no.
He kept asking the other party to provide an engagement document, and after much haggling, the other party finally gave him a legal, official engagement document out of impatience.
Jiang Si was too lazy to read the long text; the other party was an official staff member, surely they wouldn't lie to her.
He not only asked for the engagement certificate, but also the divorce certificate, and even the stamp on it.
Jiang Si wanted a letter of divorce, but they said they could only provide a divorce certificate, so there was nothing she could do.
So be it, let's just have a divorce certificate. I can just ask for a divorce myself later.
Jiang Si carefully packed away the divorce certificate and engagement Contract, then walked contentedly towards the hotel.
All preparations were complete; all that remained was to break the Prince's defenses, enrage him, and then have him break off the engagement.
Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry; she had plenty of options. She couldn't afford to let the Prince turn against her so soon, given their current cooperation.
He has always been very patient in this regard.
Next, I need to go to the headquarters and take over the Mental Image Domain.
Once the Prince's Heavenly Fire Certificate is successfully obtained and the path to Perfect Full Bloom is confirmed, he can immediately break through.
He stopped halfway there and sent a message to Keke, saying that he had been taken home by Shion and that Keke shouldn't worry, and that she should just go to the headquarters with the South China Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to participate in the Mental Image Domain trial.
After all, this place is closer to the headquarters, and going back to Beihai would be too much trouble.
However, Keke insisted on going back to Beihai to meet him and see him arrive home before leaving.
Anyway, magical girls are very mobile, so it doesn't really matter.
After finishing her chat with her younger sister, Jiang Si took out the crystal ball again.
Soon, Yun Ke's face appeared on the crystal ball, looking exhausted and completely drained.
Upon seeing Jiang Si, he straightened up.
"Lord Si Motu! Fortunately, Lord Jialan was already won over by you and gave me a hand, otherwise I would already be in the Witch Tribunal and never see you again..."
Did you get the goods I asked you to get?
"Got it."
Yun Ke wiped her nose, then took out two cans of medicine from her pocket. "Ten tons in total, not a drop less."
What about purity?
"The purity is absolutely guaranteed!" Yun Ke even opened the lid and took a sip. "It couldn't be purer. The goods come from Uncle Dong, so they're absolutely reliable. He was personally overseeing quality control at the factory before the magical girl came knocking! If there's even the slightest problem, the person in charge has to write an 8D report. I've seen it with my own eyes. Their goods, apart from being expensive, have no flaws!"
"Okay, deliver them to the address I gave you in batches."
Ten tons of medicine is enough for me to use for a long time.
Since she was going to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, Jiang Si wouldn't naively think that the power of a magical girl would be enough.
Even people from the Old World can pull out Magical Girl Killer.
He didn't believe the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters lacked the means to deal with magical girls.
He could still distinguish that the Incubators of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and magical girls were two different species, or even two different organizations.
Having medicine on hand keeps me calm.
Even if he could deal with Magical Girl Shion, he still had Witch Shion as a backup, and at worst, he still had the Golden Calamity Dragon King.
We must be fully prepared, regardless of whether there is any danger at the General Administration.
It's always good to be cautious.
"Keep up the good work and get the Witch Potion recipe as soon as possible, so we can achieve freedom in obtaining Witch Potion."
"Yes!"
Satisfied, Jiang Si hung up the phone without wasting any time.
They found a spot and transformed immediately.
After Keke and the others were almost ready to go back, so she had to get back first.
The Calamity Dragon is too conspicuous, and with the entire South China currently searching for Calamity Dragon, the magical girls are all filled with fighting spirit.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble.
As we headed straight for Beihai, near the small town of Anyang, we saw a huge wave suddenly erupt on the sea.
The corpses of several Calamity Beast were scattered everywhere.
The terrifying explosion of magical power even caused a massive tsunami in the sea, almost covering the entire small city of Anyang!
However, it dissipated in the air in an instant, and the tsunami turned into rain, which drizzled down on the small town of Anyang.
Such precise control of magic.
At a glance, Shion noticed that the magical girl she had bumped into by chance on the roadside possessed a level of magical control that was no less precise than that of a true disciple, and she immediately became curious.
Nowadays, most of the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect are no longer in East China; the main disciples and inner disciples have gone to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters for exchanges.
The magical girls on this road are probably either free magical girls or members of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Such control precision is truly unexpected.
So Shion made a slight turn and flew into the depths of the sea near the small town of Anyang.
In the area where the Mental Image Remnants were located, there are actually quite a few Calamity Beast active there due to the influence of those Mental Image Remnants.
Previously, the Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau had discussed cooperation on this matter, which was to jointly clean up the remaining Calamity Beast.
As they got closer, they saw a figure dressed in a dark red Gothic robe, flying through the air, with a broom-shaped magic wand sitting beneath him, black knee-high socks matching the red robe, and a dashing matching cloak.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was her pointed hat.
She was dressed like a little witch.
A gust of wind blew, and she quickly grabbed her pointed hat, which was about to fly off. Just as a large shark suddenly leaped out of the sea and opened its bloodthirsty jaws towards her, the girl holding the hat smiled and said:
"Confringo ( Confringo )"
The great shark exploded the moment it touched the little witch!
Blood splattered everywhere, staining the entire sea red.
The girl who had finished frying the fish finally noticed someone approaching, then turned her head and winked at the purple magical girl.
"Oh, Sect Master!"
Shion turned and left.
Then the little witch immediately rode up on her broom, shouting, "Hey, hey, Sect Master, it's me! It's me! I'm Yarrow!"
That's right, Yarrow.
The true disciple that Shion hates the most.
A die-hard Harry Potter fan.
