Horror Game: What to Do If You're Too Handsome

The Queen nodded.

"Indeed, that Little Bitch will throw herself at you like a lovesick dog the moment she sees you."

An Xinghe picked up the apple basket and was about to head off to find Snow White when the Queen called after him:

"Young Brother, once you've poisoned that Little Bitch, don't forget to visit our kingdom!"

"My niece is eighteen this year..."

An Xinghe couldn't quite make out the rest—he was already a fair distance away.

Just then, Lin Yan sidled up to the Queen with a sycophantic grin:

"Sister Queen, we're partners, you know. How about me? I'm not picky—doesn't have to be eighteen, eight will do!"

The Queen shot him a glance:

"The palace is short a chair. Want the spot?"

"Well... that's not entirely out of the question."

An Xinghe found a spot on Central Avenue and set down his apples.

Lin Yan stumbled up behind him, his face bruised and swollen.

An Xinghe could roughly guess what had happened and offered some comfort:

"It's fine. The world's a big place. Maybe some blind fool actually likes freaks like you."

Before Lin Yan could fire back, they heard Hoofbeats nearby and knew Snow White was approaching.

An Xinghe quickly put on a merchant's air, cleared his throat, and hawked loudly:

"Apples for sale! Fresh apples! If they're not sweet, you don't pay!"

An Xinghe's [Astonishingly Handsome] skill didn't just describe his looks—it covered his build, his bearing, his poise, even his voice, all at the absolute peak!

His voice was deep and magnetic, drawing people in irresistibly.

Among them was Snow White.

"Young Brother, how much are your apples?"

Hearing Snow White's voice, An Xinghe lifted his head, which had been bowed:

"Three Copper Coins per apple. If they're not sweet, you don't pay."

The moment she saw An Xinghe's face, Snow White felt dizzy, her heart racing.

She felt as if she were seeing a god smiling at her! As if she were standing in a field of flowers!

She saw a blaze of light, and within it, herself in a wedding gown, being kissed by An Xinghe!

In that instant, she fell in love!

She grabbed An Xinghe's arm like a madwoman and asked:

"Young Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"If not, mind having one? If you do, mind switching?"

An Xinghe smoothly pulled his arm back and said with a smile:

"Fair lady, I'm just an apple seller, not selling myself, and not selling my kidneys."

Snow White hurriedly replied:

"I'll buy them! I'll buy all these apples! Your apples look dry and crisp—I love dry apples!"

Livestream Room.

[Holy crap! Snow White, can you not be this two-faced?!]

[Just now she said dry apples weren't even fit for dogs. Now she says she loves dry apples!]

[Snow White, where's your swagger?! Weren't you supposed to be a badass?!]

[Show some spine! Why are you acting like a lovesick girl?!]

[So this is the power of love?!]

[The way Snow White's looking at him, she wants to devour An Xinghe!]

[I'm legit guessing she wants to tie him up and do naughty things right now!]

[No need to guess—if no one were around, she'd have pounced already!]

Chapter 35: My Jealousy Is Overflowing!

Just as men love to show off their strength in front of their women, women love to flaunt their generosity in front of their men.

Besides, buying a basket of apples was nothing to Snow White!

She cheerfully handed the money to An Xinghe, but instead of pulling her hand back, she held onto his:

"Young Brother, since you've sold all your apples, why not come with me? I'll show you something fun!"

Snow White licked her lips, the meaning in her eyes unmistakable.

An Xinghe just waved his hand. "Beautiful lady, I still have to go home and pick apples. I'll pass."

Those words made Snow White's blood pressure spike, and she couldn't help pouting, "You only know apples! Are apples better than me?"

An Xinghe calmly picked up an apple and placed it in Snow White's hand. "My apples are really delicious, you know. Try one and see."

How could Snow White refuse a gift from a handsome man?

She took An Xinghe's hand with one hand, and with the other, seductively bit a huge chunk out of the apple.

Lin Yan beside them couldn't help feeling thrilled.

The plan worked! The poison on the apple would take effect in about an hour. They just needed to slip away within that hour, then come back to retrieve the apple Snow White had eaten.

But what happened next caught everyone completely off guard.

Because Snow White bit off too much apple, it got stuck right in her throat.

She didn't want to lose face in front of An Xinghe by pounding her chest and coughing, so she tried to force it down.

But she couldn't catch her breath, and choked to death on the spot.

The system notification was the most direct proof.

[Ding! Detected Snow White's death. Cause of death: "Choking." Players may retrieve the apple that choked her (only the piece Snow White swallowed counts as a quest item).]

[Only players with the Protagonist Halo can remove the Poison Apple from Snow White's throat.]

Livestream Room.

[I imagined a thousand ways this dungeon could go, but never that Snow White would choke on an apple.]

[Snow White being a reckless idiot is confirmed.]

[Can there be an even more ridiculous way to die?]

[I'm even more damn curious about where the plot goes from here.]

[An Xinghe's trouble is coming.]

Sure enough, Snow White's guards swarmed over, pointing swords, spears, and halberds at An Xinghe. "How dare you poison Snow White with a tainted apple!"

"Fuck! I'm not taking the blame for this! She clearly choked on the apple herself! What the hell does that have to do with whether my apple was poisoned or not?"

The guard stood firm. "Snow White died from eating your apple. That's indisputable."

An Xinghe curled his lip, about to argue, when a thought suddenly struck him.

This might be a good opportunity.

He said to the guard, "No problem, we can still save Snow White."

The guard eyed him suspiciously. "Are you sure?"

An Xinghe patted his chest. "Absolutely sure. But the rescue method is a bit unusual. Let's go to Snow White's castle first."

The guard nodded. It wasn't like An Xinghe could run away anyway.

A crowd of guards escorted Snow White, An Xinghe, and Lin Yan to Snow White's room in the castle.

An Xinghe directed the guards to lay Snow White on the bed, then said, "I'm going to start the treatment now. Please wait outside patiently. It's not like we can escape."

The guards figured that was reasonable, so they all filed out and closed the door.

The only living things left in the bedroom were An Xinghe and Lin Yan.

Lin Yan couldn't help asking anxiously, "An Xinghe, do you actually know how to save her?"

An Xinghe shot him a look. "However they saved her in the original story, that's how we'll save her."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up with realization.

How did the Prince save Snow White in the original? By kissing her, of course!

And now the Protagonist Halo was on him! He absolutely couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance!

"Hahaha! An Xinghe, let big brother handle this dirty, tiring job!"
