Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1203: Chapter 419: Kingdom Princess, First Meditation

Cao Xing felt a slight stir in his heart.

So this is the princess of the Youlan Kingdom, the newly appointed Great Mage!?

Although Marita had previously mentioned that she was a relative of hers.

But Cao Xing had only assumed she was a member of the royal family.

He never thought that she was the princess of the kingdom.

After all, someone of such high status would normally travel with a large number of guards to ensure her safety.

Following Marita so inconspicuously was indeed unexpected.

Moreover, he could tell from her status above that this woman was also afflicted by the [Life Withering Curse].

Marita explained: "Lord Cao Xing, this is Princess Fran of our Youlan Kingdom."

"Due to certain reasons, her travels cannot be disclosed, so we did not inform you of this; please understand."

Cao Xing nodded, indicating his understanding.

At the same time, the woman with an ethereal presence before him slightly bowed.

"Fran, at your service, Lord Cao Xing."

Cao Xing was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and said: "Princess Fran, I don’t deserve such a courtesy."

Princess Fran softly replied, "No, you do deserve it."

"Lord Cao Xing’s willingness to help me remove the Life Withering Curse within me is of tremendous significance to us, it certainly warrants our thanks."

Her tone was extremely serious.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "There’s no need to be so formal."

"Since you are Marita’s relative, you are also my friend, and helping is the right thing to do."

Upon hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Princess Fran’s face.

Cao Xing said no more and directly instructed ’Buoyancy’ to continue releasing the Light of Purification.

This Light Feather Chicken, after helping Marita clear the curse earlier, seemed a bit tired and lay lazily on the floor tiles, unwilling to move.

Seeing this, Cao Xing took out a piece of pet food from his backpack.

Buoyancy immediately perked up, leaping up from the ground, looking eagerly at its owner.

Cao Xing looked speechless as he tossed the pet food over.

The Light Feather Chicken turned into a white blur, soaring into the air to consume the morsel.

After eating, Buoyancy seemed rejuvenated, happily circling its owner.

Cao Xing patted its wings and said, "Alright, let’s get to work."

"Cluck cluck~"

Buoyancy nodded obediently and gradually floated mid-air.

"Buzz~!"

A mass of pure light gathered before him once more.

As the Light of Purification landed on Princess Fran.

She, like Marita, began to exude waves of Blood Qi.

And as the purification process continued, the vast magic power within her grew increasingly stronger.

When the fifth Light of Purification ended.

The Life Withering Curse on Princess Fran’s status finally disappeared...

She exhaled a mouthful of crimson blood, feeling entirely invigorated.

Then she took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her mouth.

And casually emitted a streak of magic to clean the bloodstains from the ground.

She looked at Cao Xing with a relaxed expression, marveling, "I can feel that the curse within me has been lifted."

"We tried so many ways to resolve the curse within, but none had any effect."

"I didn’t expect it to be resolved here; thank you so much, Lord Cao Xing."

[Due to your treatment, Princess Fulan Vargas of the Youlan Kingdom’s goodwill has increased; current goodwill: Friendly]

...

Cao Xing smiled, "No need to be so polite, as long as it’s removed."

A joyful smile also appeared on Princess Fran’s face.

Cao Xing continued, "By the way, Lady Marita, I want to know what happened in your Youlan Kingdom that even Princess Fran was afflicted with such a curse?"

Hearing this, the two women with somewhat similar appearances exchanged a glance.

After a moment, Marita began to speak calmly.

"This matter, we owe it all to Lord Cao Xing for reminding me that I had the Life Withering Curse."

"After returning, I checked all suspicious personnel in the royal family and found the source of the curse."

"Then, following the leads, we discovered that Princess Fran had also been afflicted by this curse."

"So we deduced that the backlash she experienced during her breakthrough to Great Mage was also due to the influence of this curse."

Here, Marita paused for a moment and then continued with a serious tone.

"Furthermore, as the investigation continued."

"We discovered that besides Princess Fran, quite a number of people in the royal family also had this curse."

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.

Princess Fran followed up: "So based on this phenomenon, we deduced that the Watchers are planning to act against our Youlan Kingdom."

"And I estimate that not only our Youlan Kingdom but several nearby kingdoms probably also have royal members afflicted by this curse."

"Before long, the Bloody Army will make a comeback and wage war against us!"

"This is why we are so desperately seeking a way to break the curse."

Princess Fran’s tone was severe.

Cao Xing’s face turned solemn after hearing this.

The Bloody Army’s actions were faster than he had expected.

"Princess Fran, according to your estimation, how long until the Bloody Army initiates full-scale war?"

Upon hearing this question, both women showed a contemplative look.

After a moment, she gently shook her head and said, "The exact time, I am not entirely sure either."
