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

"Black, go check what happened!"

Black accepted the order and walked to the fallen guard. He reached out and touched the guard's chest.

"Prince... Your Majesty! This is bad! He... he's dead!"

A commotion erupted among those present!

This was the first time they had seen a power that could kill whoever it pointed at!

Could it really be their ancestors manifesting?

In reality, it was nothing of the sort! This guard had been killed in advance by An Xinghe, and then resurrected using the Corpse Manipulation Technique.

The moment Vanessa pointed at the guard, he dispelled the Corpse Manipulation Technique, and the guard naturally fell!

This move, this move was like the fox borrowing the tiger's might!

But it was more than enough to scare these Merfolk!

Livestream comments.

[An Xinghe's plan is truly brilliant.]

[Despicable two-legged beasts!]

[You guys, why is An Xinghe willing to help Vanessa ascend to the throne?]

[What are you talking about? They're already married, why wouldn't he help his wife?]

[Actually, I think the feeling of being a princess and an empress might be different...]

[The person above is telling the truth!]

[So I was too naive!]

[We're all kindred spirits! We'll slowly modify the XP System!]

Chapter 56: This Place Will Become Paradise

After shocking everyone with a feigned ancestral manifestation, Vanessa pointed at the guard beside William and shouted, "You people are still stubbornly following him! Aren't you afraid of being punished by your ancestors?!"

The guards' hearts wavered instantly!

They hadn't genuinely followed William in the first place; it was merely a matter of circumstance!

As the saying goes, whoever wins, they'll help!

William knew that if he didn't display his authority at this moment, he would surely lose all face later and his reign as king would be illegitimate.

He had no choice but to emerge from the heavy encirclement of guards, pointing his trident at Vanessa:

"Little sister! Go ahead and use your ancestral manifestation against me! I will show you who is the destined ruler of the Merfolk!!"

With that, William leaped high into the air, his weapon thrusting towards Vanessa's neck!

Vanessa, at this moment, closed her eyes instead!

She shouted:

"Xinghe!"

"Coming!"

An Xinghe descended like a God of War, landing beside Vanessa. He extended a finger, aimed it at William, and said with a cold laugh:

"So you've finally decided to come out from among the guards! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Seeing An Xinghe's gesture, William knew something was terribly wrong! An Xinghe had used this very move to blow off half of Marlon's head back then!

Now, it was his turn!

A Spirit Ball shot out from An Xinghe's fingertip! William, in mid-flight, was completely unable to dodge!

The Spirit Ball pierced directly through William's chest, obliterating his heart!

William, lifeless, fell from the sky. In his final moments, he looked at the spirited An Xinghe.

He wondered why such a person couldn't be used by him!

If the viewers in the Livestream Room knew his thoughts, they would have undoubtedly echoed the same answer in unison!

Because you're not a pretty girl!

At the same time, William's death marked the end of this royal palace farce.

The guards simultaneously lowered their weapons.

They weren't fools; they wouldn't oppose the living princess for a dead prince!

Under An Xinghe's overt and covert maneuvering, Vanessa gradually won over the other ministers and stabilized the chaotic situation.

Jennifer was also successfully released.

Then, An Xinghe prepared to make his escape.

He had no choice but to run! After all, he still had a mission from the Horror Game to complete!

But he didn't leave without saying goodbye. Instead, he asked Queen Vanessa for a long leave of absence to visit his family.

Vanessa was quite unhappy about it and forced An Xinghe to work for three days before reluctantly agreeing to let him go back.

An Xinghe rode the seahorse that Vanessa had prepared and, following the ocean currents, finally returned to shore.

As luck would have it, he saw Lin Yan on the shore, harassing female tourists:

"Halt! What demon art thou?! I shall rid the world of your evil!"

"Holy crap! That voice! It's you! Old An! You're finally back!" Lin Yan looked at An Xinghe, extremely excited. He abandoned his flirtation and rushed to hug An Xinghe's shoulders:

"You made me wait so long!"

An Xinghe pushed him away with a disgusted look, "Stop touching me! Have you been waiting here since I left?"

"Of course! After you fell into the water, I didn't receive any notification of your death, so I knew you bastard had succeeded again! How is it, did you bring back the scales?"

"I brought them back."

"That's great!" Lin Yan was overjoyed, "I have good news too! I've found the Sleeping Beauty's kingdom!"

This was definitely good news! An Xinghe quickly asked:

"What kingdom is it?"

"The Beastman Empire!"

"Oh, the Beastman Empire. Wait! The Beastman Empire!" An Xinghe's eyes widened: "So this Sleeping Beauty wouldn't be... a beastman??"

For some reason, Lin Yan had a lecherous grin on his face at this moment:

"Hehehe, of course! If I wasn't waiting for you, I would have gone myself already! Think about it, aren't kemonomimi girls fragrant? Aren't catgirls fragrant! Aren't fox tails fragrant! Aren't cat paws fragrant!"

An Xinghe quipped, "I think you're only suited for centaurs."

Livestream Room.

[Holy crap! Listening to Lin Yan say that! Doesn't the Beastman Empire mean a bunch of kemonomimi girls!]

[Heaven! That must be heaven!]

[Don't get too excited, everyone. I think something's not right. In medieval fairy tales like Snow White, are beastmen depicted as kemonomimi girls?]

[Now that you mention it, I don't think so either...]

[Isn't the concept of kemonomimi girls something invented by the Japanese!]

[I think the depiction of beastmen in this world will probably reference Warcraft.]

[You're too modest upstairs, Warcraft is already an idealized version.]

The viewers looked at Lin Yan, who was still in a state of excitement, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment...

Chapter 57: It's Your Turn to Shine, Lin Yan

The Beastman Empire was quite a distance from the Narrow Beach, but fortunately, An Xinghe had plenty of travel money from Cinderella and Snow White, plus the pearls Vanessa had given him. His pockets were practically overflowing with money!

An Xinghe could now be considered a wealthy man!

He directly bought a luxurious carriage and a ton of food, hiring a driver to head towards the Beastman Empire.

Lin Yan complained about his "relying on women" lifestyle from the side, but his body honestly followed him onto the carriage.

The original story of Sleeping Beauty is simpler than Cinderella and others.

A witch cursed Sleeping Beauty, saying she would fall into a deep sleep if she pricked her finger on a spindle.

The king then ordered all the spindles in the country to be burned.

Unexpectedly, Sleeping Beauty found an old woman spinning in a dilapidated clock tower, and the old woman had a spindle in her hand.

As a result, just as the witch had cursed, Sleeping Beauty pricked herself on the spindle and fell into a deep sleep, along with the king, queen, and servants in the entire palace.

Time passed, and three years went by unknowingly.

[Ding! Player An Xinghe and Lin Yan have arrived at the Beastman Empire. Mission progress has been updated!]

[Ding! Mission prompt: Only those possessing the Protagonist Halo can awaken Sleeping Beauty!]

Upon hearing this notification, Lin Yan looked at An Xinghe with eager eyes.

An Xinghe immediately understood what he meant:

"He's not a pervert! He's just a gentleman with the name of a pervert!"

[Ding! Protagonist Halo has been transferred. Holder: Lin Yan]

Lin Yan excitedly clasped An Xinghe's hand:

"Brother An! Your great kindness can only be repaid by me becoming an ox or a horse in the next life!"

With that, Lin Yan couldn't wait to step into the royal capital of the Beastman Empire!
