The guards beside them were fully armed!
The guards knew perfectly well that no man could fit into the Crystal Slipper the Gray Queen had specially prepared!
All they had to do was wait for the Gray Queen to give the order, then hack to death these fools who dreamed of marrying the queen!
"Tap." "Tap." "Tap."
Hearing the footsteps gradually approaching from outside, Cinderella could not help revealing a cruel, bloodthirsty smile. She seemed to see yet another man torn to pieces before her eyes!
"Your Majesty, An Xinghe has been brought here."
"In that case, let him try the Crystal... Cry..."
The instant Cinderella saw An Xinghe's face, she felt as though she had forgotten how to speak!
What on earth had this man eaten while growing up? How could he be so handsome?
He looked both like the great hero she had admired as a child, the Prince she had longed for as a young girl, and the perfect husband she had yearned for as an adult!
Cinderella felt as though her brain had stopped working! Her eyes held nothing but An Xinghe!
At that moment, Cinderella knew she had fallen for him!
Seeing the expression on Cinderella's face, An Xinghe knew that his looks had once again done the trick!
This should go smoothly 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 this one, not this one!"
Cinderella frantically denied it. She jumped down from the throne and hid the Crystal Slipper behind her:
"This one is only a sample, meant to look pretty on display. I'll have someone fetch the real Crystal Slipper right away."
Cinderella called over a maid and whispered into her ear:
"Go! Bring me the Size 45 Crystal Slipper!"
"Yes!"
The maid hurried out and soon hurried back again.
She moved close to Cinderella and whispered:
"Your Majesty, we don't have anything as large as Size 45 in stock! The largest is Size 43!"
After all, An Xinghe came from a later era, where he had eaten well and grown strong! Having large hands and feet was perfectly normal.
Cinderella gritted her teeth. "Then go and bring me the Size 43 pair!"
Before long, a pair of Size 43 Crystal Slippers was delivered into An Xinghe's hands.
He was just about to try them on when he saw Cinderella walk over and crouch in front of him. He said awkwardly:
"Um, Your Majesty, I'm going to try on the shoes."
"It's fine. Go ahead and try them. I'll watch from the side."
"All right."
There was no way a Size 43 shoe could accommodate a Size 45 foot! The moment An Xinghe inserted his toes, he felt them being squeezed:
"Your Majesty, these shoes seem a little small."
Cinderella hurriedly said:
"New shoes are always tight! Try a little harder."
After finally getting his toes inside, his heel became the next problem.
Cinderella saw everything and kept it in mind. Then she offered some advice:
"Push your flesh in bit by bit. You'll get it in soon!"

[Why do I feel like Cinderella is even more anxious than An Xinghe?] [Cinderella, where's your queenly bearing?! Why are you changing to another Crystal Slipper? Aren't you just giving An Xinghe another chance to show off?!] [Cinderella looks like she's working hard for love!] [Cinderella is just one step away from helping An Xinghe push his foot in herself!] [The person above, you freaking called it! Cinderella is already doing it!] [A queen kneeling before An Xinghe to help him put on his shoe—what do you call that? I call it freaking jealousy!!]
Little Red Riding Hood!
After struggling with it for quite a while, Cinderella finally managed to stuff An Xinghe's foot into the Crystal Slipper!
Having not exercised for so long, she broke into a sweat.
She took a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, then patted An Xinghe's foot in satisfaction:
"Now there's no problem!"
Immediately afterward, she stood up and grabbed An Xinghe by the collar:
"There! You have successfully completed My challenge! From now on, you are My husband! The king of the Gray Country!"
"Hmph! Two days ago, Snow White from the Dwarf Kingdom sent me a letter, saying that she had found the finest husband beneath the heavens and beyond the earth, and even showing off by inviting me to her wedding!"
"Now this is perfect. I've found a husband who is definitely better-looking than hers! Just wait until I go back and show off!"
At this point, An Xinghe spoke up:
"No, I actually don't think I can be better-looking than Snow White's husband."
Cinderella was baffled:
"Huh? Why not? You're definitely the best-looking man I've ever seen! No! The best-looking person!"
"Because..."
Because it's hard for a person to surpass himself!
Cinderella waved her hand, signaling that An Xinghe did not need to continue:
"Forget it, don't worry about that. Today is our big day! Let's go consummate the marriage!"
"Huh? So soon? I'm not ready yet."
Although An Xinghe said that, he did not resist at all as Cinderella led him into the Boudoir.
Three days passed just like that.
Lin Yan had grown impatient waiting outside long ago! He had tried several times to rush into the Castle to take a look, but had been discovered every time!
Moreover, the system had not announced An Xinghe's death, which gave him a little peace of mind.
Until today, when a carriage slowly emerged from the Castle.
As it passed by Lin Yan, he felt a hand suddenly yank him up into the carriage!
Who else could it be but An Xinghe?
Lin Yan looked at An Xinghe in delight:
"Did you get the Crystal Slipper?!"
An Xinghe took a pair of Crystal Slippers from his pocket and handed them over. "I got them... Damn, Lin Yan, could you go buy me a few bottles of Nutrient Express?"
"Sure! I'll—wait! This is a Horror Game! Where would we get Nutrient Express?!"
At that moment, Lin Yan saw An Xinghe lying exhausted inside the carriage. His eye sockets were sunken, and his cheeks had become much thinner!
Lin Yan could not help asking with concern:
"Brother, what exactly happened to you these past few days?! How did you get so thin?!"
An Xinghe opened his eyes weakly and replied with four words:
"Working day and night..."
Danmaku.
[These four words demonstrate the vastness and profundity of Chinese culture.] [Brilliant! These four words can be understood as an ordinary idiom meaning that he never rested. But the character "work" can also be read with the third tone! It's a double entendre!] [Seeing An Xinghe like this reminds me of something I watched before about a Little Loli and a big sister.] [Person above, lend me a copy and explain.] [I have a friend who says he wants to see it too.] [That friend you mentioned—is it actually you?]
Lin Yan still had not caught on. He followed An Xinghe's words:
"Then you really suffered... Suffered my ass! That's treatment most people could never dream of! You clearly got the benefit and are still acting coy! I might as well strangle you!"
As Lin Yan spoke, he lunged toward An Xinghe, but An Xinghe hurriedly stopped him:
"Don't, don't! This isn't the time to fool around with you. Both sides of my waist are hollow. My feet haven't touched the ground once in these three days!"
Lin Yan grunted twice, but still let An Xinghe off:
"If you enjoyed yourself so much in there, why did you come out?"
An Xinghe rolled his eyes at him. "Do you think I wanted to?! If not for the task assigned by the Horror Game, I would have happily stayed there as the king!"
Hearing this, Lin Yan's mood improved considerably:
"Then how did you get out?"
"I lied to Cinderella and told her I was going home to visit my relatives. That was the only way I could get out. Besides, I took the opportunity to find out some information about Little Red Riding Hood during those three days!"
Lin Yan became interested:
"Not bad! Your kidneys didn't go to waste! Hurry up and tell me!"
