They were both high-level Shilin Apostles, both elite defensive battlefield commanders, both members of the Shilin Emperor's Imperial Guard, both... countless "boths," so why could Sandora's subordinate become the host of a genius gathering, while mine only knew how to wear black sunglasses and peddle pirated discs everywhere?!

Selling pirated discs in a place like this was undoubtedly a rather adventurous act. Even Sikaro couldn't possibly succeed in opening up a market for adult films among a group of social elites. This Imperial officer, who loved to clash with city management, was only active in front of us for less than five seconds before being dragged away by security guards, city management, and riot police who rushed over from all directions.

"A Jun, Sandora, do you know that person?" Seeing Sandora and I staring strangely in the direction Sikaro was dragged, Qian Qian asked curiously.

Both of us shook our heads firmly.

An hour passed quickly. As dusk gradually fell, the pseudo-gentlemen who were looking for beautiful princesses under the guise of cultural exchange finally began to give up, scattering with low complaints. They had realized that this game was just teasing them – not to mention whether the princess, who was like a dragon seen only by its head and not its tail, was really here, even if she was and was met by some lucky guy, what could you do if she didn't admit her identity then?

During this time, the few of us witnessed almost every pickup technique. The so-called social elites displayed their feathers like peacocks in full display to every foreign member of the opposite sex. This included not only the young masters who were somewhat presentable, but also many lecherous old men who looked old enough to be Sandora's father. They were all dressed impeccably and meticulously groomed, hoping to conquer the beautiful foreign princess with the charm and demeanor of elderly gentlemen.

Among these peacocks, whose adrenaline was clearly overflowing, Liu Zicai, with his pig's head, truly stood out like a chicken among cranes.

Finally, when the time was up, no one was able to recognize the princess from the crowd.

"Phew—I'm full!" Sandora patted her stomach and let out a satisfied burp.

I stared at Sandora's slender waist with an exploratory gaze, desperately thinking about where the large amount of food she had just swallowed had gone. I finally concluded that this guy's stomach was in another dimension.

Qian Qian hit me on the head with a "bang" and said sourly, "Pervert, what are you looking at!"

I smiled awkwardly, while Sandora came over and rubbed my head affectionately, and then Qian Qian glared at her with a very malicious look.

At this moment, Carmen's loud voice sounded, timely relieving my embarrassment: "Ladies and gentlemen, time flies faster than imagined. An hour has passed, and it seems that none of the gentlemen present have found our beautiful Princess. I have to announce with great regret that there is no winner in the game designed by the Princess, but please do not complain, because the next part of the banquet is about to begin, and then our Princess will naturally appear before everyone!"

At this point, a discordant voice came from the scene: "You're not messing with us, are you? Is the princess really here?"

Qian Qian and I looked in the direction of the voice. A pig's head was standing there.

Liu Zicai was definitely the most frustrated person here. Thanks to his current appearance, he had suffered a lot during the pickup attempts just now. Most of the girls who could appear in the central area of this square were young ladies of unusual status. Liu Zicai's wealth, which was almost always successful in picking up girls in the past, had little attraction for them. Instead, his pig's head appearance was met with disdain everywhere.

As if noticing my gaze, Liu Zicai turned his head, was slightly startled when he saw us, and then focused his fierce gaze on me.

Strange, when did I ever provoke him?

Carmen nodded slightly to us with a very subtle movement, then said into the microphone: "I can assure everyone that the Princess is in this square. Now please be quiet and let our Princess step forward – please believe that our beautiful Princess will definitely surprise everyone!"

As Carmen spoke, he focused his gaze on our side.

Sandora smiled, and her aura immediately underwent a drastic change.

From a sweet and lovely girl next door, she transformed into a noble and elegant princess!

Following Carmen's gaze, everyone quickly noticed Sandora, who was slowly walking towards the center of the venue. From time to time, low gasps were heard.

Many people recognized the noble and dignified blonde girl in the sky-blue long dress. Sandora's appearance as a starving ghost just now had left a deep impression on them, but soon, they rubbed their eyes with suspicion – was the noble and elegant girl in front of them really that wild girl from before?

Looking at the girl slowly walking by, everyone was captivated by her beautiful appearance and noble demeanor. This feeling was as if an angel who had descended to the mortal world was walking by. Her every look, every smile made people intoxicated and yet dared not have any improper thoughts. Even I, who was completely immune to Sandora's dramatic transformations, couldn't help but be a little surprised: one was a little sister who was happy all day long, and the other was a high and mighty Shilin Empress who brought war and fear to countless worlds. Which one was the real Sandora?

"Hello everyone," Sandora's voice finally woke up the people who were lost in thought. She had a faint smile, her expression was approachable but subtly made people dare not get too close, "I am very happy to be in China and to gather with everyone here. I am Sandora, Sandora-Quelvy-Eurasis, Princess of Liska, but for a period of time in the future, I hope everyone can forget my identity as a princess and treat me as your friend..."

Noble, proper, elegant and dignified, approachable without losing royal majesty, Sandora at this moment was like a dazzling sun, making everyone present truly understand what a real princess was.

It was obvious that Sandora was not taking the common people's route. She was a cold and aloof princess – and only this style matched her identity.

Ahem, as for Sandora's off-the-wall image in front of me, that was an exception...

Sandora said a few brief words and then handed the microphone to Carmen, who was waiting beside her. She quickly walked to me and Qian Qian, and immediately put on her signature silly smile that she used in front of me.

"Hehe, how about it, Chen Jun? They're all dumbfounded, right!"

I seemed to hear countless people collapsing at the scene – this girl Sandora's transformation was a bit too sudden. The transformation from a wild girl to a princess had already given the people at the scene a thorough shock. Now, the princess suddenly changing back to a wild girl made everyone, whose nerves were already on the verge of collapse, snap their last nerve with a "bang."

However, Sandora never cared about what ordinary people thought. She was just showing off her great "achievement" of scaring everyone like a child, which made Qian Qian feel very incredible.

"A Jun, I now completely believe that the relationship between Sandora and you is very simple – besides that dramatic reason, I can't think of any other way to explain the personality of this Princess..."

At this moment, Pandora suddenly gently tugged at my clothes. I looked at the silent little Loli in confusion, who raised her little finger and pointed behind me.

I turned my head and saw a fat man... ahem, a pig's head... ahem, that's not right either, it should be Liu Shao.

Now Liu Zicai felt that he was the unluckiest person in the world. Logically speaking, he was actually the first among all the young masters present to see Princess Sandora herself. This should have been a very lucky thing, but unfortunately, not only did he not seize this opportunity, but he also offended this noble Princess twice. He was probably already a complete scoundrel in the Princess's heart, right?

Who would have thought that this Princess was such a woman who was so good at disguising herself and had a strange temper?!

But he didn't want to give up just like that!

Although his father had completely given up the possibility of getting involved with the Princess, Liu Zicai didn't think so!

Who was he? He was the most famous playboy in the entire K City. With his prominent background and outstanding appearance, how many young girls had fallen into his arms? What kind of woman couldn't Liu Zicai get? Even a female star whom ordinary people found it difficult to meet, didn't she obediently climb into his bed? Don't look at him as just a nineteen-year-old student, this Young Master Liu was already a famous romantic in a certain circle. Now, how could he be willing to fail so ignominiously?

Isn't she just a princess?! Besides a title, what's the difference between her and an ordinary woman when thrown into bed?!

Noble? Aloof? Just right, conquering such a woman would bring even more sense of accomplishment!

Now Liu Zicai was like a slightly crazy lunatic, only knowing that he had to regain his lost "face," but he didn't even think about the fact that he was about to face the most terrifying tyrant in the entire universe.

Looking at the three people talking and laughing in front of him, Liu Zicai couldn't help but feel his teeth itch: What was the background of that poor boy, and why could he get the favor of the Princess and another beauty?

No matter who it was, anyone who dared to steal a woman from Liu Zicai had to die!

Just like that, the famous Liu Zicai, with his prominent family background, resolutely embarked on the absurd journey of fighting against tens of millions of Imperial conquerors alone
