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

Beside her were fully armed guards!

The guards knew full well that no man could fit into the Crystal Slipper the Gray Queen had specially prepared.

They only needed to wait for the Gray Queen's order, then hack these fools dreaming of marrying the queen to death with their blades.

"Clack," "clack," "clack."

Hearing the footsteps drawing closer outside, Cinderella couldn't help but reveal a cruel, bloodthirsty smile. She could almost see another man being torn apart before her eyes!

"Your Majesty, An Xinghe has been brought."

"In that case, let him try on the Crystal Sli—sli—"

The moment she saw An Xinghe's face, Cinderella felt like she couldn't even speak anymore!

What in the world had this man been raised on? Why was he so stunning?

He looked like the hero she'd dreamed of as a child, the prince she'd longed for as a girl, and the perfect husband she'd craved as an adult!

Cinderella felt her brain stop working! Her eyes could only see An Xinghe!

In that instant, Cinderella knew—she was done for.

Seeing Cinderella's expression, An Xinghe knew his looks had worked their magic again.

Looks like there shouldn't be a problem now!

He asked with a smile:

"Where's the Crystal Slipper? Is it this pair in front of you, Your Majesty?"

"No, no, no, no, no! Not at all, not at all!"

Cinderella frantically denied it, jumping down from the throne and hiding the slippers behind her:

"This pair is just a sample, for display. I'll have someone fetch the real Crystal Slipper."

Cinderella called over a Maid and whispered in her ear:

"Go! Bring the Size 45 Crystal Slipper!"

"Yes!"

The Maid hurried out, and soon hurried back.

She leaned close to Cinderella and murmured:

"Your Majesty, we don't have Size 45 in stock! The largest is Size 43!"

An Xinghe, after all, was from a later era—well-fed and well-built. Big hands and big feet were perfectly normal.

Cinderella gritted her teeth: "Then bring the Size 43!"

Before long, a pair of Size 43 Crystal Slippers was handed to An Xinghe.

He was about to try them on when he saw Cinderella walk over and kneel in front of him. He said awkwardly:

"Uh, Your Majesty, I need to try on the shoes."

"It's fine, go ahead. I'll watch from here."

"Alright."

A Size 43 shoe could never fit a Size 45 foot! As soon as An Xinghe slid his toes in, he felt cramped:

"Your Majesty, these shoes seem a bit small."

Cinderella quickly said:

"New shoes are always tight! Try a little more."

After barely squeezing his toes in, his heel became the problem.

Cinderella watched closely, took note, and couldn't help but suggest:

"Just ease the flesh in bit by bit—it'll fit soon enough!"

Livestream Room.

[I feel like Cinderella is more anxious than An Xinghe]

[Cinderella, where's your queenly vibe?! Why swap the Crystal Slipper! Now An Xinghe gets to show off again!]

[Cinderella's really fighting for love here!]

[Cinderella's about to reach down and shove his foot in herself!]

[Above, you're damn right! Cinderella already did it!]

[A queen, kneeling before An Xinghe to help him put on shoes—what do you call that? I call it pure jealousy!!]

Chapter 42: Little Red Riding Hood!

After a lot of fussing, Cinderella finally managed to cram An Xinghe's foot into the Crystal Slipper!

It left her, who hadn't exercised in ages, drenched in sweat.

She took a handkerchief, wiped her forehead, and patted An Xinghe's foot with satisfaction.

"That should do it!"

Then she stood up, grabbed An Xinghe by the collar, and said:

"Like this, you've successfully completed This King's challenge! From now on, you're This King's husband—the King of Gray Country!"

"Ha! Just two days ago, Snow White from the Dwarf Kingdom sent me a letter, bragging that she'd found a husband unmatched in heaven or on earth, and invited me to her wedding!"

"Now it's perfect—I've found a husband way better-looking than hers! Just watch me show off!"

At that moment, An Xinghe spoke up:

"No, I don't think I can be better-looking than Snow White's husband."

Cinderella looked puzzled:

"Huh? Why? You're definitely the most handsome man I've ever seen! No—the most handsome person!"

"Because..."

Because it's hard to outdo yourself!

Cinderella waved her hand, signaling An Xinghe not to go on:

"Forget it, don't worry about that. Today's our big day! Let's head to the wedding chamber!"

"Ah, so fast? I'm not ready yet."

Even as An Xinghe said that, he didn't resist at all as Cinderella led him into the boudoir.

Three days passed like that.

Lin Yan had long grown impatient waiting outside! He tried several times to charge into the Castle, but got caught every time!

And the system hadn't reported An Xinghe's death, so he felt a little relieved.

Until today, a carriage slowly rolled out of the Castle.

As it passed by Lin Yan, he felt a hand yank him up into the carriage with a whoosh!

Who else could it be but An Xinghe?

Lin Yan looked at An Xinghe in surprise:

"You got the Crystal Slipper?!"

An Xinghe pulled a pair of crystal slippers from his pocket and handed them over: "Got it... Damn it, Lin Yan, go buy me a few bottles of Nutrient Express."

"Sure, I'll—wait! This is a Horror Game! Where the hell would Nutrient Express come from?!"

Then Lin Yan noticed An Xinghe lying exhausted in the carriage, with sunken eyes and cheeks so thin he'd lost a lot of weight!

Lin Yan couldn't help asking with concern:

"Bro, what the hell did you go through these past few days?! How'd you get so skinny?!"

An Xinghe opened his eyes weakly and replied with four words:

"Day and night toil..."

Danmaku.

[Those four words really show the depth of Chinese culture.]

[Brilliant! They can be taken as a normal idiom meaning no rest, or you can read the third character with a third tone—a double entendre!]

[An Xinghe like this reminds me of that show with Little Loli and Big Sister.]

[Upstairs, share the title.]

[A friend of mine says he wants to see it too.]

[Is that friend you?]

Lin Yan still didn't catch on and went along with An Xinghe:

"That must've been rough for you—rough my ass! That's a treatment tons of people would envy! You're just being smug after getting lucky! I'll strangle you!"

Lin Yan lunged at An Xinghe, who quickly stopped him:

"No, no, no, this isn't the time to mess around. My waist is hollow on both sides. My feet haven't touched the ground in three days!"

Lin Yan snorted twice but let An Xinghe off:

"Since you were enjoying yourself so much in there, why'd you come out?"

An Xinghe shot him a glare: "You think I wanted to?! If it weren't for the Horror Game's mission, I'd be happily ruling as king by now!"

Hearing that, Lin Yan's mood improved a bit:

"So how'd you get out?"

"I lied to Cinderella, said I needed to visit home, and that's how I got out. Plus, I managed to dig up some info on Little Red Riding Hood in those three days!"

Lin Yan perked up:

"Not bad, man—those kidneys weren't wasted! Spill it!"
