Alright, then I'll just recite the love letter I wrote back then

"Are you sure you didn't get that wrong?" Emily was completely stunned.

"Of course not. Isn't it said that winning means the princess can grant any request? I want that bracelet," Timothy said, keeping his distance from Emily to avoid any misunderstanding.

"You're lying!" Emily suddenly realized.

She couldn't believe there was such a man in the world,things definitely weren't as simple as they seemed.

"You don't mean... you're asking for the bracelet, but you actually want to marry me, right?" Emily seemed to muster a lot of courage as she said this, her head bowed and her voice faltering.

Timothy remained silent.

He realized that this princess had more drama inside her than anyone else, and he definitely couldn't keep this up with her.

Otherwise, things would probably get more and more chaotic.

Timothy gently grabbed Emily's wrist, pulling her closer to him.

"You really are thinking that!" Emily hadn't expected Timothy to reveal his true colors so quickly, and she was completely unprepared.

She panicked, trying to resist, but found herself somewhat torn, feeling weak all over, letting Timothy hold her wrist.

"I've always looked up to Goddess Sylvia and would never approve of any man. You're delusional!" Emily said shyly, her eyes tightly closed, her captured hand trembling slightly, her heart completely out of control and in turmoil.

However, the next moment, Timothy yanked off the jade bracelet.

"Thank you, princess. Farewell."

With that, Timothy jumped off the platform.

He waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Huh?"

Emily shyly opened her eyes only to find Timothy almost swallowed up by the distant throng.

Apart from taking the bracelet, he hadn't done anything else.

"Wait, was he telling the truth?"

Reflecting on the recent events, Emily felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"You, come back here!"

For some reason, Emily felt tears swirling in her eyes.

But Timothy didn't even look back, quickly vanishing into the crowd, completely out of sight.

Emily's legs gave way, and she almost fell.

"Princess, are you okay?" Fortunately, Isla quickly ran to her side and supported her.

"I..."

All the men Emily had ever met had never been indifferent to her.

Had she ever been treated like this?

Emily felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears wetting her eyes, unable to control her emotions.

"Am I worth less than a bracelet?"

...

[You have profoundly impacted the life perspective of the Third Princess of the Phoenix Kingdom, earning the reward, Arcane Acceleration Technique]

"Nice one."

Timothy examined the description of the Arcane Acceleration Technique and couldn't help but sigh.

This Arcane Acceleration Technique was an ancient secret method to accelerate cultivation speed.

As one progressed in cultivation, it could even double the speed of cultivation.

Reaching the second level meant doubling the speed, the third level tripling it, and at its peak, it offered up to ten times the speed!

However, the cultivation of the Arcane Acceleration Technique was extremely difficult, and rapid cultivation could only rely on the system's skill points.

This technique was a perfect match for him!

Using two skill points, Timothy upgraded the Arcane Acceleration Technique to the second level.

Instantly, the speed at which Timothy absorbed spiritual energy doubled.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy surged into his body, nourishing him thoroughly.

Already on the verge of a breakthrough during the tournament, Timothy now fully reached the threshold.

Stepping into the realm of Energy Foundation was like a sieve that countless people couldn't pass through in their lifetimes.

But to Timothy, crossing this threshold seemed effortless.

As the spiritual energy continued to flood in, an unmatched power burst from Timothy's chest.

Like a surging wave, this force swept through his body, expelling all impurities.

The barrier that had stopped so many was easily crossed.

A profound sense of relief spread throughout his body as Timothy felt the power surging within him and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He had broken through to the Energy Foundation level without any effort.

Impacting someone's spirit could earn rewards, and these rewards varied with the cultivation level and status of the person affected.

The reward for "causing a strong impact on someone's worldview" seemed even more substantial.

It appeared that the degree of shock also played a significant role.

Back at the tavern, Sylvia huffed as she glanced at Timothy, "Why are you back so soon? You just won the princess's martial contest. Maybe if you had talked a bit more with the princess, you could have won her heart and become her knight in shining armor. Imagine how happy you could be."

Timothy chuckled, "She's just an empire's princess. How could that compare to being the husband of a goddess?"

"You..." Sylvia found herself at a loss for words.

"But," Timothy changed the tone and leaned in close to whisper in Sylvia's ear, "My goddess, you and that third princess aren't related, so why do you seem so concerned about this? Could it be... jealousy?"

"What? Absolutely not! Who would get jealous over such a trivial matter!" Sylvia's response was flustered and unconvincing.

The light turned red, casting a beautiful glow on her stunning face.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was the light that was red, or if it was her who was flushed.

Timothy smiled and picked up the jade bracelet, gently lifting Sylvia's wrist.

"What are you doing?"

Sylvia's cheeks turned pink. Despite having faced countless challenges and even battled three supreme gods single-handedly without any panic, she now felt her heart pounding uncontrollably.

"Nothing much, just admiring," Timothy slowly slipped the jade bracelet onto Sylvia's wrist.

The pristine white bracelet contrasted beautifully with her fair skin under the light.

As if drawn by a force, the spiritual energy from the Rainbow Lotus flowed into the bracelet.

The two energies mingled, continuously nourishing Sylvia's body.

The cold poison that had been hidden in her body for who knows how long began to dissipate under the influence of the Rainbow Lotus's spiritual energy.

"Cough, stop looking," Sylvia said, feeling somewhat stiff under Timothy's gaze.

Timothy replied, "Can't help it. Who could resist such a beautiful sight?"

Sylvia's heartbeat sped up beyond her control, and she blurted out, "Can you stop saying such cheesy things!"

"Alright, then I'll just recite the love letter I wrote back then."

"People call you a goddess, but I only wish for you to be my Sylvia..."

"You!"

In this moment, anyone who saw would hardly believe that this woman, blushing behind the window, was once the high and mighty Goddess Sylvia, whom everyone could only look up to.
