What If I Solve All Five Riddles? (Continued)
The Princess, who was screaming inwardly, calmly waved her hand. Then, five treasures radiating soft light appeared around Princess, slowly rotating around her.
Looking at the legendary five treasures, Mo Yi finally realized that the Princess was indeed making things difficult for the suitors. The genuine treasures were in her own hands, yet she asked ordinary suitors to find them. How could they possibly do that?
"I'm actually quite curious—"
Looking at the Princess's five treasures, Mo Yi remembered that the final reward of the free game 'Moon Princess Protection War' was these five treasures.
"If someone had successfully found one of them, would you have really married that person, Princess?"
"How is that possible?"
The Princess gave Mo Yi a disdainful look and retorted:
"These five treasures of mine are original texts, almost conceptual beings."
"For example, the Hōrai Jade Branch. You may find other Hōrai Jade Branch in the Moon Capital, but those are physical objects. My Hōrai Jade Branch truly represents the 'concept of existence' of all Hōrai Jade Branch."
"Most importantly, whether it's a treasure that this Princess desires is not up to Princess to decide!"
Mo Yi: "..."
That makes a lot of sense!
However, Mo Yi discovered a key point.
He had assumed the Princess's five treasures were physical objects, but to his surprise, they were the same as the five treasures he had obtained after completing the game "The Battle of the Moon Princess"—all conceptual weapons.
It seems that you, Princess, are Stand User of the same type as my King of Heroes.
"Then where did you obtain your five secret treasures, Princess?"
"Is the Buddha's Stone Bowl really the rice bowl that Shakyamuni used, and is the Dragon Neck Jewel the Dragon God's jade?"
If that's the case, how did they find the Princess?
It should be noted that the Princess was merely the daughter of Tsukuyomi, one of the Three Deities in mythology, while Shakyamuni was a powerful figure on par with Jehovah.
The Dragon God is also one of the big shots in the Gensokyo world. When Yakumo Yukari and others established Gensokyo, they had to pass the Dragon God's test and get his consent before they could establish Gensokyo. Otherwise, a single Dragon God could easily defeat the great youkai who established Gensokyo.
Compared to a used rice bowl, the Dragon Jade is undoubtedly an extremely precious item. How could it be easily taken away by someone?
"This--"
Just as the Princess was about to answer Mo Yi's question, she suddenly realized that she really couldn't remember where she got these five treasures from. In her memory, they seemed to have always been in her possession.
However, at the very least, the original owner of the Buddha's Stone Bowl and the Dragon Neck Jewel could not have been her!
But why can't I remember?
The most amazing thing is that she had always kept these treasures, treating them as the most important things, and even spending time playing games on them. She would occasionally take them out to wipe them, but she never thought of this problem until Mo Yi brought it up, and then she realized it.
This is very abnormal!
Noticing that the Princess had suddenly fallen silent, looking serious and puzzled, Mo Yi asked, "Princess, are you alright?"
"Fine--"
Upon hearing Mo Yi's voice, the Princess snapped out of her reverie, realizing that there was clearly more to the story than met the eye; it was impossible for her to have simply forgotten everything. There was no point in trying to recall it now; she needed to investigate further. She should seek Yong Lin's help after dealing with the more pressing matters. Blindly rushing into things wouldn't help.
"I was just wondering, why are you so interested in my treasure?"
Could it be that—
The Princess thought to herself, "Although my plan has failed again, I, in my cleverness, quickly came up with a second feasible plan."
Since Mo Yi brought up the matter of the five secret treasures, she went along with it and proposed that if he gave her one of the treasures, she would give him a chance to pursue her (by agreeing to the marriage).
Anyway, all five treasures are hers. She just needs to find an opportunity, such as accidentally getting drunk, and then make a bet or play a game with Mo Yi, and then lose one of the treasures to him.
Or perhaps the other party has done you a great favor, and you're willing to give them a treasured item from their collection for free? Is that something you can't do? There's no such logic in this world!
Although she couldn't remember where she got these five treasures, the Princess knew in her heart that they were her most important possessions, and she would never show them to others unless it was for a fight.
However, she didn't feel reluctant to part with it at this moment; it was a treasure that even Yagokoro Eirin wouldn't lend her before.
Princess: Hmm, it's probably because even if I give it to Mo Yi, it will eventually come back to me.
"You also want to propose to this Princess?"
"If it is you who can solve one of the difficult problems, I, the Princess, will give you a chance."
Mo Yi: "..."
Princess, you might not be able to tell me, but I'll probably have five in a while.
Hearing the Princess say this, Mo Yi felt that things were getting more and more dramatic, but he couldn't get carried away at this time. He had to continue to plot against the Princess so that he could make a fortune in silence!
"What if I solve all five problems at the same time, Princess?"
Hearing Mo Yi's words, the Princess thought to herself, "Plan works!" Indeed, she was the Heroine Princess the new world. Could characters like Raiden Mei, Kiana, and Megatron possibly strategize and subtly win over someone like Princess?!
The Princess withdrew her foot from Mo Yi's grasp, then propped herself up on the tatami mat with one hand. With a seemingly mocking but actually alluring look, she looked at Mo Yi and said in a soft, languid voice, "This Princess will marry you unconditionally."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to find a way to trick this Princess into giving you these five treasures—"
Princess: Hmph o(~ヘ~o#)
Finding an opportunity to give you one treasure is enough. If I really let you complete all of them, wouldn't you think that I, the Princess, married you on purpose?
Does this Princess have no dignity? How can she maintain her dominance in this family in the future?!
Mo Yi: You must hold back your laughter, or the Princess will notice something amiss!
These are the words of the Princess herself. After I complete the 'Battle to Protect the Moon Princess' and obtain the five secret treasures, I will ask the Princess where she is going!
Of course, besides the urge to laugh wildly, Mo Yi was also thinking to himself— the Little World Game, is all of this within your grasp?!
"Then it's a deal, Princess— "
Hearing Mo Yi's words, the Princess felt reassured. If he didn't like her, why would he say such a thing?
Besides confirming this, she also successfully brought Mo Yi into her plan, and the Princess was very happy at this moment.
"Hmph, you actually took it seriously?"
"However, Princess am a woman of my word, as long as you can do it."
PS: Chapter 241, Princess Arc 48: "Princess— " Mo Yi turned around and looked at the Princess, who was pretending to be silly and cute. He was in a good mood and smiled, "It's not a matter of whether she's powerful or not, but rather that she's very special." After finally dealing with Yagokoro Eirin and arriving here, even a princess like Princess, who could instantly revive with full health and mana, felt exhausted. Fortunately, she persevered and wasn't called back by Eirin. The moment she saw Mo Yi sitting there waiting for her, the Princess felt it was all worth it. It was still the same feeling. In Gensokyo, in her time, only Mo Yi could bring her such a relaxed and happy feeling. The Princess smiled and asked, "So, how is the Princess special?" Mo Yi: "..." She dribbled the ball with a seductive posture, used her overalls to seduce people, and even had her hair parted in the middle. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Gate was broken and couldn't lock her in the court. Simply put, Ji Ni Tai Mei. Princess: "..." "Mo Yi, do you want to die once?"
