Chapter 400: Chapter 258, Imperial Double Wall!

Kaman Federation. Xijie Country.

Phoenix was inspecting the future technology factories of Xijie Country, accompanied by Prince Constantine.

"These robots are becoming increasingly powerful, capable of surviving in extremely harsh environments... Armed with weapons, they become fearless warriors."

"Moreover, their skin texture is becoming more and more realistic, feeling just like a real person when touched. They can even form memory reflexes, showing fear when you are angry. When you are happy, they express joy, and they even blush when touched..."

"If Your Highness doesn’t mind, I would like to gift one to you. Please do give us some valuable feedback after using it, to help us make improvements and perfect it."

Prince Constantine held a favorable impression of the Phoenix Princess and was very attentive and thorough in his hosting duties, promptly offering anything she showed the slightest interest in as a state gift.

After all, it was the taxpayer’s money being spent.

Should he manage to marry this beautiful princess to Xijie, they could then form an alliance with the powerful Empire to the east. At that time, Xijie’s influence on the world stage would surely rise again, wouldn’t it?

And he, King Constantine, would be the architect of this revival.

"Thank you," said Phoenix with a smile.

Just then, Phoenix’s wrist phone rang.

Phoenix glanced at the caller ID and said, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"No problem," Constantine gestured with his hand and said to the factory manager rushing over, "Take the Princess to the lounge."

"Yes," the factory manager nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Phoenix went to the lounge and then answered the call, saying to Sheng Xinhua in the video, "Didn’t I tell you I was inspecting in Xijie... Why are you calling now?"

"Ah, I forgot," Sheng Xinhuai slapped his forehead, saying, "I only remembered you were inspecting in Xijie, but forgot about the time difference between our two countries... I was just about to sleep. Should I hang up then?"

"Hang up? If there’s something, say it quickly," urged Phoenix.

If he had called without bringing up something important and just hung up, her schedule would be ruined, and she likely wouldn’t be able to sleep that night.

Which woman doesn’t have a bit of curiosity? The Princess was no exception.

"Hehe, I knew you cared about Tang Fei..." Sheng Xinhua stretched, a lazy and sensual gesture revealing his snow-white arm from the sleeve of his black silk pajamas.

"Is it about Tang Fei?" Phoenix was startled and asked.

"Yes, have you been in contact with him?" Sheng Xinhua inquired.

"He went to Old Land for inspection. I’ve sent texts and called him, but there’s been no response..." Phoenix worriedly asked, "Did something happen to Tang Fei?"

"He’s injured," said Sheng Xinhua.

"Injured? Is it serious?"

"I don’t know," Sheng Xinhua shook his head, saying, "I heard when they were picked up by the Star Disc, both were unconscious. Shen Xinglan was taken directly by the Shen Family, while Tang Fei stayed at White Crane Academy... If it weren’t for the Shen Family deploying a medical ship, I wouldn’t have even heard about it."

"The Shen Family deployed a medical ship? Didn’t you go to check?"

"Sister, that’s White Crane Academy, do you think it’s the vegetable market outside our house? Besides, I had to inform you first."

"I’ll return tonight," said Phoenix.

"Do you need to be so hasty? How will you explain it to the Royal Family?" Sheng Xinhua reminded her.

The Princess represented the Royal Family abroad, the honor and face of the Empire.

All her itineraries were designed and arranged in advance by both parties. If she ended her trip early, the Royal Family would undoubtedly ask what had happened.

The host country would also seek reasons, wondering if there had been any mistakes in the reception process.

If not handled properly, it might lead to a diplomatic incident between countries.

The Princess’s travels were not like an ordinary person’s vacation.

"It’s fine, I’ll figure something out."

After hanging up the phone, Phoenix left the lounge and said to Prince Constantine, "Your Highness, I must apologize, but I may have to cancel the itinerary for the next two days."

"Cancel? We’ve already made the arrangements. I was hoping to invite you to the Aegean Sea and Sea God Geopark. I believe you would love it there."

"I’m truly sorry, but I’m feeling a bit unwell..." Phoenix’s complexion turned pale, as though she had fallen seriously ill.

"Ah? Is something making you uncomfortable? I can take you to the hospital... or I can have our nation’s best doctors come over to examine you."

"No, thank you," Phoenix declined, "I think it’s just acclimatization. I should be better after a few days of rest."

"If that’s the case... well, then I’ll take care of the arrangements," Constantine said gentlemanly. "Although we are not yet parting, I am already looking forward to seeing you again, Your Highness. I hope once you’re feeling better, you can come back to Xijie to visit."

"I definitely will," Phoenix nodded in agreement.

Two slaps later, clear handprints emerged on Shen Xinglan’s face, turning the entire left side a deep purple-red.
