This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Chapter 295 Symbiotic Soul Imprint

Now Xizhu finally understood why things had escalated to this point. She had only assumed that Xiao Xingchen was feeling guilty and trying to avoid the two women who had come to their door, but she had never imagined that he was gone.

"Have you looked for him? Where did he go?"

Ruoxue shook her head and replied angrily, "How would I know? Just like that, I've never seen such an unreliable person."

"It is indeed somewhat unreliable."

Xizhu was also helpless. She continued to look at the center of the hall. Ruoxue's move made the crowd even more excited, and even those who were originally just watching the show started to add fuel to the fire.

The secrets of the Prince's Mansion must be uncovered; this is the sentiment of many. If there truly is a way to increase one's strength here, everyone must get a share.

Perhaps this is the main reason why Shen Li and Xiao Xingxue came to force the emperor to resign. At this moment, all the doubts seemed to become clear.

"Your Highness, although that's true, it's still a wife looking for her husband. We should meet her. How can we know if it's true or not if we don't meet her?"

Wu Xie made a sarcastic remark, which immediately earned him the glare of the Four Emperors.

"Damn it, what business is it of yours? If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. You stinky Wu Xie, we haven't settled our score yet, so stop your babbling."

"Fourth Prince, have some decency! You're supposed to be a prince, but look at yourself! You're more like a shrew than a prince!"

"Pah! I don't need you to tell me what to do. If you don't want to get flamed, you'd better shut up right now, or I'll make you lose face."

The Fourth Prince's toughness is selective; for someone like Wu Xie, whom he already has a grudge against, he'd rather suffer heavy losses himself than let them get away with it.

Seeing Wu Xie fall silent, Shen Li suddenly spoke up again.

"Since the princess wants proof, then I will prove it myself. I just don't know if you will still stop me if I prove my identity?"

"How can you prove it?" Ling Xue frowned.

"Never mind how I prove it. I just want one thing from you: if I prove my engagement to Xiao Xingchen is real, will you get off this chair?" Shen Li's lips curled up, her gaze towards Ling Xue carrying a hint of coldness.

"How dare you! Do you think you can insult my Great Qian Princess?"

Enraged, the crown prince slammed his hand on the chair.

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious. I'm just trying to verify my identity myself. Once my identity is confirmed, this palace will be mine, right? It's only reasonable for me to ask you to leave, isn't it? After all, I'm the host, and you're the guests."

Shen Li spoke slowly and deliberately, appearing confident and composed.

"I think it's feasible. That woman from the Xiao family, can you prove your identity?"

Shangguan Yun looked at Huangfu Xinfeng.

"Of course we can, but what if we present concrete evidence and these people still refuse to leave?"

Xiao Xingxue also revealed a triumphant smile, which surprised Ling Xue, who couldn't help but wonder how to prove it.

“I also think they are right. If it is proven that what they said is true, Ling Xue, will you give up the palace?” Huangfu Xinfeng also began to exert pressure.

"Alright, then you prove it. If you can truly convince everyone, we'll hand over this palace immediately."

“Your word is law, so it’s settled then. Shen Li, produce the evidence of your affair with Xiao Xingchen.”

Shangguan Yun seemed to have been waiting for these words, and as soon as Ling Xue finished speaking, he couldn't wait to make the final decision.

Shen Li smiled victoriously and bowed slightly to the crowd.

"Then I will make a fool of myself and ask everyone to keep their eyes open."

Everyone looked on with curiosity. Could such a thing really be proven? But Shen Li's expression suggested she was absolutely certain, which only fueled everyone's curiosity. Even Xi Zhu looked over with curiosity.

"In practice, this problem is not difficult to prove. Xiao Xingchen formed a symbiotic soul imprint with me after birth. Everyone, have you heard of the symbiotic soul imprint?"

Shen Li smiled, which left everyone looking puzzled.

Xizhu suddenly realized, but then revealed deep anger.

"Miss Shen, what is this soul imprint?"

"Everyone, if anyone knows about the Symbiotic Soul Imprint, please explain. If none of you know, then I..."

"Let me explain," Shangguan Yun interrupted Shen Li, offering a direct explanation.

"The symbiotic soul imprint is a twin blessing made to the souls of two people. When they are very young, as long as they are blessed by the soul imprint, the two will understand each other implicitly and be inseparable. This includes their strength as well as their personalities. It is equivalent to planting a seed in the other's heart."

"We'll live and die together. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Therefore, those who have been given a symbiotic soul imprint are the most important people in each other's world, because if one dies, the other will die with him. It is a vow of eternal love, a blessing that will never be separated in this life."

"Of course, this kind of soul imprint can also bring about an increase in their respective strength. If Xiao Xingchen is only at the third realm, but Shen Li is at the fifth realm, then Shen Li will give back to him, allowing his strength to increase to the fifth realm without restriction. Similarly, if Xiao Xingchen's strength is higher, it will also give back to Shen Li."

"Now you should understand, right? The Soul Imprint represents that the two people are the closest people in the world," Shangguan Yun said with a smile, as if the whole situation was already settled.

"So that's how it is. There are such strange methods in the world. It's practically handing over one's life to the other person. If one didn't love the other deeply, how could one do such a thing?"

"Didn't you hear? This is a blessing. It seems Shen Li and the Prince of Kao Shan are truly a match made in heaven."

"Today has truly been an eye-opener. If a woman were to place a soul imprint on me, I would die for it."

. . .

Everyone began to marvel at the strangeness of the symbiotic soul imprint, which startled Ling Xue and Ruo Xue. They then looked at Xi Zhu for help.

"This is real?"

Xizhu snorted coldly, not bothering to hide her voice.

"That's utter nonsense! How dare the Grand Elder of the Water Region lie through his teeth? What benefits did the Shen family give you to make you act this way?"

"Stop talking nonsense! This is a secret technique from the Cloud Recesses. What do you know about it?"

A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Yun's eyes as he met Xizhu's gaze directly.

"What do I know? The Water Domain has also declined, but that's not surprising. Ever since the Great Demon was sealed, the backbone of the Water Domain has been broken. No wonder they dare to collude with Cloud Recesses. Do you really think that no one in the world knows anything about the Shen family's secret technique?"

Xi Zhu scoffed at the mockery. Now he finally understood where all those strange things about Xiao Xingchen came from. What nonsense about the soul imprint? That was clearly a wedding dress.
