Xie Xi was horrified by the possibility.
If what he was thinking was true⌠could he really finish the task?
Xie Xi sighed and calmed his emotions, deciding not to scare himself. What was the truth? He just had to test it.
He went to get another present and headed to the palace of the fifth prince.
Roast Pork Bun hung from his neck. âYour heart is beating fast.â
Xie Xi didnât say anything. He was so frightened, how could he not be unhappy?
Roast Pork Bun asked again, âIt is because you have seen your sweetheart?â
Xie Xiâs steps paused. âWho is my sweetheart?â
Roast Pork Bun replied, âThe handsome man just now. His pair of eyes were really handsome.â
Xie Xi remembered how Roast Pork Bun said that Xie Xi was ugly when just hatched. Xie Xi didnât feel it himself but other people said he wasnât ugly⌠then what was Roast Pork Bunâs aesthetics?
Xie Xi was afraid of his fantasies and explained, âHe isnât my sweetheart.â
Roast Pork Bun asked again, âIs your heartbeat accelerating because you are about to meet your sweetheart?â
Xie Xiâs chin struck the catâs forehead. âShut up!â
Roast Pork Bun was afraid he would be sold in this quasi-world and didnât dare ask anything else.
The fifth prince lived far away and his palace was as big as a town. It was fortunate that he could swim as a mermaid. If he used two legs to walk then he would probably die.
To tell the truth, even swimming was exhausting. Xie Xiâs swaying tail quickly cramped up.
Finally, he arrived at the fifth princeâs palace. Xie Xi saw a luxury that was quite different from the sixth princeâs palace.
It was obviously the same architectural style but one was cold and depressing, while the other was magnificent with shining lights.
The two brothers had very different personalities.
One was lonely and the other was passionate. It was like the progress bar. One was deep blue and the other was a hot orange.
Xie Xi didnât want to accept this conjecture. He refused to admit that the different colours on the progress bar represented different princes!
The fifth princeâs birth mother was the queen of the underwater kingdom. He was the only legitimate prince who by all accounts, should inherit the throne. There was no reason to hesitate.
Unfortunately, the fifth prince himself was extremely disgusted with the court and political affairs. He was accomplished in art and was a famous artist in the underwater kingdom.
Such a prince must inherit the throne if there were no other brothers. However, his four older brothers and even his younger brother were very good. Donât look at the fourth princeâs illness and the sixth princeâs different coloured eyes. They had clear minds and were extremely adept at government affairs. One was a powerful person who tamed the Lord of the Abyss.
Not to mention that the first, second and third princes each had their own supporters and their voices were extremely high.
In contrast, the fifth and legitimate prince had the highest popularity and most noble bloodline. However, even his most enthusiastic fans felt he wasnât suitable for the throne.
Of course, it didnât matter if he could become king or not. His treatment was excellent, meaning the palace was gorgeous and extraordinary. Xie Xi arrived and was greeted by a beautiful female mermaid. âRoyal Guard, thank you for the trouble of coming in person.â
It was a gift from His Majesty. According to etiquette, as long as the prince was in the palace, he must come forward and thank Xie Xi in person.
Xie Xi told the maid, âI will trouble you to inform him.â
The maid replied, âPlease wait a moment.â
A while later, the maid came out and said to Xie Xi, âPlease come in.â
Xie Xi gave the gift to the shrimp soldier beside him, followed the maid and walked into the well-deserved âCrystal Palace.â Even if he had seen the sea floor, the sight in front of him was extremely beautiful.
The coral groves had beautiful colours that had never been seen on land and little fish swam freely, like beautiful butterflies among the flowers. Not to mention the pearl white luster of the porch, the fine carvings and the shiny jellyfish stretching out in the seaâŚ
It was like Xie Xi was entering the Grand View Garden and he was dizzy from the sight.
Then once he got to the main hall and saw the scene inside, he felt that the luxuries outside were nothing but embellishments.
The manâs eyes were drooping as he fiddled with the harp and sound emerged. In an instant, there seemed to be countless flowers blooming. In the wide hall, there seemed to be beautiful dancing.
Xie Xiâs eyes widened with amazement.
The sound of the harp stopped and the illusion disappeared. The fifth prince got up and walked straight towards him. âDo you like it?â
Xie Xi bowed to him. âI have seen Your Highness.â
The fifth prince helped him up and asked, âYou donât like it?â
The tune was nice and there was an indescribable allure. Under normal circumstances, XIe Xi would find it hard to say he liked it but nowâŚ
He hung his head and whispered, âI like it.â He felt like his teeth were hurting when he heard this!
The fifth prince grabbed his hand. âThere is another one that I have specifically written for you.â
Xie Xi, ââŚâ They only met once. What damn song did he write?
He was in a complicated mood as he watched the orange progress bar rise again.
Did it still need an explanation? Was he going to keep deluding himself?
Xie Xi wasnât willing and tested it a bit more. âYour subordinate still has more orders. I have to go to the other palacesâŚâ
The fifth prince asked, âIsnât there anyone else in the royal guards? Why do you have to go?â
âIt is your subordinateâŚâ Xie Xi gritted his teeth. âIf it wasnât for this errand, this subordinate wouldnât be able to hear your heavenly voice.â The implication was that he took this job for the prince!
He had just finished speaking when the orange progress bar shot up!
Xie Xi, ââŚâ The damn self-centred X!
The fifth princeâs eyebrows rose as he said, âI was thoughtless. I shouldâve sent someone to pick you up.â
Xie Xi told him, âYour Highness is noble. Why should you remember these little things?â
The orange progress bar rose again at his words. To some extent, the prince was really simple!
The fifth prince said, âDonât worry over it. I will immediatelyâŚâ
âThere is no need.â Xie Xi patiently explained, âThis subordinate has just entered the palace. I have neither an identity or background. It will be hard to gain a foothold so I hope you will be considerate.â
The fifth prince frowned. âCome to me and I will take care of you.â
Xie Xi said, âIf Your Highness really appreciates me, wait for my position to be higher. Once I can apply for deployment then serving you will be more logical.â
The fifth prince stared at him for a long time. âThen I will listen to you.â
Xie Xiâs heart beat like a drum. Why? Why was he doing this?
He was about to leave when the fifth prince asked again, âHave you been to see Sixth Brother?â
Xie Xi didnât understand before but he did now. Was the prince thinking about the meal they had together?
Xie Xi was a good youth yet he was experiencing a slag manâs dilemma.
He didnât say anything and the fifth princeâs expression became more subtle.
XIe Xiâs brain turned quickly. He couldnât hide this type of thing since the fifth prince might check.
Xie Xi told him, âI have seen him first.â
Sure enough, the orange bar dropped a bit.
Xie Xi swore at X in his heart!
The fifth prince wondered, âWhy go to him first?â
The slag Xie Xi forced out, âIn past years, people neglected their duty and didnât go to the sixth prince. This year, they specifically told me to go to the sixth prince firstâŚâ
He had only spoken half his words when the orange progress bar rose again.
Xie Xi felt a bit guilty. âDonât be so gullible!â
The very good fifth prince was distressed. âIt has been hard for you.â
Xie Xi, ââŚâ He wouldnât be able to hold it in if he didnât leave now!
He left the fifth princeâs palace and looked at the progress bar. His heart was like a mirror.
Xie Xi hadnât gone to the other princes yet but the facts in front of him were quite illustrative.
If there was only the orange progress bar, he could suspect that the fifth prince and sixth prince were swapped.
However, the sixth prince also had the blue progress bar.
It meant that the mission task of collecting the love of the sixth prince was collecting the love of all six princes, not just the sixth prince!
X, was your Chinese taught by your PE teacher!?
Jiang Xieâs garden was covered with snow.
He had been watching the live broadcast and naturally knew what Xie Xi had experienced.
If Yan Zhe was present, he would pat his thighs and laugh at him. âOld Jiang, you are green with jealousy of yourself. Are you kicking your own head with a donkey?â
He would also say, âArenât you going crazy because of love?â
Jiang Xie wasnât like this. Before he met Xie Xi, he didnât think about love. After meeting Xie Xi, he was really excited. He wanted to get along with this person.
However, he couldnât be so stupid.
This wasnât just a pit for Xie Xi but also a pit for himself!
There was no need to mention anything else. He just had to look at the goodwill falling like a waterfall to know how miserable he was.
Why did the two worlds turn out like this?
Things were a bit complicated.
Lost Atlantis was a complete quasi-world. Not only was the seabed designed in great detail but the shore was also a complete structure. Jiang Xie had only designed the planet but if cleared, the missing parts would be spontaneously filled it by the laws of causality.
Jiang Xie poured a lot of effort into such a complete world. It was obvious just by the number of souls.
Love to the Left or Right only had three souls while this world had six.
The quasi-world was released after a review from the Zone. Due to his souls, the world wasnât activated until Xie Xi met the conditions and was selected.
The core tasks of the quasi-worlds were mostly derived from the strongest will in the quasi-world.
If it wasnât Xie Xi but someone else clearing the world, they might receive serious tasks like seizing the position of the prince, fighting for power, racial conflict, marine protection⌠These were very serious tasks. Still, it was Xie Xi who entered. The souls were basically branches of Jiang Xie. They inherited things from their master and were very concerned about Xie Xi.
The previous three souls were still weak. In Love to the Left or Right, they preferred the death of the demonized Sein Hall and the task was to survive for seven days.
Lost Atlantis had six souls, meaning six souls wanted to be close to Xie Xi. This will was too powerful and the task becameâcollect the love of the six princes.

They were eager to fall in love with Xie Xi, thus setting this core mission.
Jiang Xie looked at Xie Xiâs appearance on the water curtain and felt pained and worried.
Should he wait for Xie Xi to clear the instance and hope Xie Xi would listen?
Based on this bloody goodwill, he was afraid that the little guy wouldnât even bother giving him a fake smile.
