"Too close! Too close! Get away from me, you sullen vixen!"
"Holding hands together was a mistake, how bold!"
Why isn't the Sect Master responding?
"Really? You can do that? Holding hands?"
Beihai, Azure Cloud Sect.
The disciples, gathered together, along with Susan from the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, were watching the live broadcast from the center and offering their comments.
The one who kept urging the Prince to stay away was, of course, the Super Blue Flower.
As the only professional in the Azure Cloud Sect, Blue Flower immediately sensed the Prince's dangerous nature.
With her high position and powerful influence, stunning appearance, and innate royal arrogance, she would be an extremely popular main romanceable character in a niche game.
Her character design and personality are top-notch, but most importantly, she holds a powerful position as a true queen of the Old World. She has members from the Old World to support her population and the technology of the Land of Mirrors to empower her.
Let alone Jiang Si, if there were any dialogue boxes below, Blue Flower would be tempted to go up and win her over herself.
It's too easy to arouse a desire for challenge and conquest.
I'm saying that the most important thing for the female protagonist in a niche game is her status and position, does anyone understand?
However, the young disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were clearly unaware of the Prince's threat. Apart from Master Bingtang, the disciples were actually not in a position to rival the Prince in terms of status.
As a result, these true disciples were still watching the show like idiots. Even when the Prince directly intertwined his fingers with hers, these girls didn't react at all. Yumo was still muttering to herself, "When the sect leader comes back, I, I want to try too----"
Once the sect leader is won over by this wicked woman, what's the point of you even trying?
Blue Flower huddled on the bench, biting her nails angrily. "Which of us has ever truly held hands with the Sect Leader? What right does she have—"
"Lord Bingtang once said that."
As Yumo responded softly, Susan couldn't help but look at Bingtang.
At this moment, Bingtang held a beautiful ball of yarn in her hand, which looked like silk and had a crystal-clear, ice-like quality.
The computer in front of him was unusually quiet; instead of open files or office software, it was playing a short video.
The woman in the video is demonstrating how to knit gloves step by step.
Holding two knitting needles, she clumsily began knitting gloves from the silken yarn. Noticing everyone's gaze, Bingtang paused for a moment, then nodded, "The Sect Master doesn't mind this."
"However, be careful not to sweat. The sect leader doesn't like a sticky feeling. Also, Blue Flower, you should trim your fingernails—"
Blue Flower finally understood why Lord Bingtang didn't care at all.
These are all things she's already done.
"Isn't Lord Bingtang Tang busy with work lately?" Susan looked up from the ice crystals and at Lord Bingtang Tang, who was intently knitting gloves, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it taking up too much time?"
"Now that we've taken control of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, we can delegate many troublesome tasks to Golden Tea, so my workload has become much lighter."
Bingtang took the half-knitted gloves, put them on, and gently bent and moved her fingers, feeling the comfort and texture of the finger sleeves. The ice silk felt quite nice.
She carefully selected this silk thread.
Each time she changed into different over-the-knee socks, she would deliberately touch Jiang Si to let him feel them. Based on the strength and duration of Jiang Si's touch, she would eventually choose this particular stocking that Jiang Si liked.
Of course, since the difference in dwell time is only within a few milliseconds, it's Bingtang to say for sure if Jiang Si really likes it, but it's better than choosing randomly.
Why not just go and buy it?
Super Blue Flower immediately shook her finger, looked at Susan with an expression that said, "She's hopeless." "Of course, only gloves you knit yourself have the value of a token of love."
Bingtang didn't deny it, only saying, "I've been very interested in handwoven fabrics lately."
Blue Flower nodded immediately. "I understand."
"Let's focus on other scenes. The Sect Master said that when we enter the Land of Mirrors in the future, we must not let any Alice escape. We must wipe out the Land of Mirrors in one fell swoop."
With Bingtang's reminder, the other disciples dared not relax too much and continued to watch the images transmitted from the sect leader.
Jiang Si made thorough preparations for returning to the Land of Mirrors. From the very beginning, he had Bingtang cooperate with his acting, embedding ice crystals into his eyeballs. As a simple transmission tool, the magical reaction of the ice crystals was extremely weak, and with Jiang Si's disguise and concealment, the effect was even more pronounced.
Even with the technology of the Land of Mirrors, it's unlikely they could discover it.
Under the control of the Bingtang, these ice crystals can even transform into harmless water droplets that do not produce any special reactions and can then seep into the pupils.
The only drawback is that it has no sound.
After the sect leader and the Prince intertwined their fingers, the sect leader's expression remained calm as his lips moved slightly. Blue Flower immediately guessed from his lip movements, "What the sect leader is definitely saying is, 'Your hands are so small! How come they're so much softer than mine? We can go to the Land of Mirrors— '"
"The lip shape doesn't quite match," Susan said, touching her chin. "This part should have simply said 'Let's go together,' right?"
"I... I think the sect leader is saying 'Let go, or I'll kill you!'"
Yumo were filled with murderous intent, and she really did have a bit of the sect leader's air about her.
After the intimate moment ended, the Prince was about to pull the sect leader into the spatial rift when everyone watched as Blue Flower clapped her hands.
"I told you we wanted to go to the Land of Mirrors! Look how eager the Prince is!"
Having said that, she hugged herself, mimicking the Prince's embrace. "I can't bear it any longer. I even dream about you saying goodbye to me. It's unbearable. So, can you come to me?"
"How disgusting, Blue Flower." Yarrow sitting next to her immediately shifted her body. "They only said two short sentences."
"Compressed, like a spell from Harry Potter."
"Dare to insult Harry Potter's magic? I'll kill you!"
As the two bickered, the Prince and Jiang Si, who appeared to be a couple in the scene, started moving again.
As the Prince led Jiang Si on a stroll through the Land of Mirrors, chatting away, Blue Flower smiled mysteriously, "Heh, it's probably just some romantic talk, maybe a bit about his own past to evoke sympathy. The little story might even be made up."
This kind of scene is basically when the secret behind the female protagonist is revealed in the hidden game!
"You saw the Prince just pointed north; she must be referring to a..."
"That's my favorite point in time. Sometimes I stand there for hours, looking around. The day before yesterday I saw a little rabbit, yesterday a deer, and today it's you."
Susan asked curiously, "It's pointing south now."
"In winter, my mother always locked me up there by myself. Every time, I thought it would be better if there were more people around, so that it would be warmer," Blue Flower imitated the Prince's actions with a deep affection.
"Ah—I don't want to stay cold any longer. I wish it could stay spring forever after spring arrives. If it were always spring, I could stay energetic forever."
Yarrow pouted. "From a backwater game, huh?"
"It's all so noisy, so noisy," Yumo added.
Soon the Prince and the sect leader arrived at the top of the palace, sat down, and faced the living beings below. The sect leader spoke first.
Yumo followed the lip movements, saying each word, "Ants, so many, so many ants, 1 2 3 4 5 6----"
Yarrow: "The mouth shapes don't match at all!"
Blue Flower: "Watch me, hmm, the sect leader is saying, 'This is the end of my Si Motu Dream, the end of my dream of fighting as Calamity Dragon until now. My wings have forgotten how to fly, because I have only ever pretended to be Calamity Beast. What are dragon wings that can't fly—'"
Yarrow: " Blue Flower, shut up, you've ruined the sect leader's image."
Blue Flower smiled smugly, "You don't know this, do you? Our sect leader is a master of a thousand faces! There's no such thing as ruining a persona."
As they were talking, they saw the Prince take the sect leader's hand. Blue Flower slammed her hand on the table with a serious expression. "It's here! The decisive line: 'No matter what happens, please don't regret meeting me.' That's definitely what she said!"
Yumo unleashed two consecutive quotes from the sect leader. "Alright, that's good enough!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the Prince appeared atop the palace, waving his hand and saying something unintelligible.
The entire Land of Mirrors was in an uproar!
Even without sound, when Jiang Si's gaze fell upon the crowd below...
The fervent and excited expressions on their faces, and the people so agitated that their veins bulged and their expressions were somewhat ferocious.
This proves just how much jubilation the Prince's words sparked!
Susan was stunned. "What did they suddenly say? Why have they all gone crazy?"
Blue Flower muttered, "It must be a stand-up comedy routine where someone dropped their chair—"
"It's obviously a speech," Yumo said earnestly. "Me, my struggle."
Why don't you just say "mega" instead of "struggle"?
When the Prince turned around and reached out his hand to Jiang Si.
That dazzling, captivating smile even drew the attention of Bingtang, who had been knitting gloves with her head down.
Like the glow of sunrise, it was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it!
A smile that even girls can't resist!
Blue Flower was the first to react, and immediately turned her head to look at Lord Bingtang.
But then she saw Lord Bingtang smile at her, "A wonderful smile, the sect leader might like it."
That's not the problem, is it?
Blue Flower glanced at it again, and that smile made even a battle-hardened woman's heart race.
Then he scratched his head in distress.
The sect leader didn't do anything when he came on stage, did he?
How did it automatically generate top-tier CGs? Is your game even legal?
Over there Yumo reached out and pulled at the corners of her mouth, then looked in the mirror, as if she wanted to compete with the Prince in smiling.
But after struggling for a while, she gave up in frustration, hugging the Shion doll.
Susan also seemed to want to put on a bright smile, but her stiff face couldn't manage it at all; instead, she looked artificial, like a double agent.
A smile that's impossible to win.
Seeing the sect leader finally take the Prince's outstretched hand, Yumo lowered her head and gently bit the hair of the Shion doll.
Blue Flower glanced at Lord Bingtang again.
The previously indifferent Bingtang now looked at the Prince seriously, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It seems that the Sect Master's annulment of the engagement is going to be difficult to advance."
"Should we launch an attack on the Land of Mirrors ahead of schedule to help advance the storyline?"
Is it really just about advancing the plot?
Blue Flower muttered to herself, just as she was about to continue guessing at the conversation between the sect leader and the Prince.
The gate to the Illusory Moon Cave Abode was pushed open, Six Leaves ran in, panting.
"Lord Bingtang, something terrible has happened! Keke has escaped from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau!"
After his passionate speech, the Prince led Jiang Si back to the palace.
"I have prepared the most magnificent palace for you."
The Prince said with haughty confidence, "It is worthy of our wedding hall."
However, upon opening the door, what greeted the eye was the white mourning clothes and wreaths that filled the lobby.
Beneath a flurry of white blossoms, a group of seven Alice stood in the center of the lobby, performing to a very lively rhythm of music.
Carrying the coffin, they danced Heaven and Earth!
The other Alice were weeping and wailing around the deceased Shichibukai, clutching the black and white portrait of Si Motu, some of them crying their hearts out.
The Prince slammed the door shut.
Turning back calmly to Jiang Si, whose expression seemed somewhat displeased, she said indifferently, "I apologize, there might have been a slight misunderstanding. It's not that the Land of Mirrors wanted to curse you to death—"
Jiang Si wasn't interested in their thoughts.
He was simply annoyed that someone was throwing him a funeral.
If someone dies, they're dead. It's one thing to just throw their ashes on the roadside, but to put them in a jar and make a funeral out of it is quite another.
Wasting time----
As the Prince spoke, he immediately activated the system.
I meant decorating the wedding hall.
[Your Majesty: We have prepared a magnificent wedding hall.]
"What's so great about it?"
[A wonderful ghost marriage----]
The Prince crushed the little bird in his hand, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open again.
Alice inside has already changed the hall for the ghost marriage.
It was transformed into an ordinary main hall.
Although it wasn't the wedding hall he had envisioned beforehand—the Prince suddenly realized he hadn't pre-entered a perfect wedding hall; in the Land of Mirrors's data, the only wedding hall listed was the one for the late king's ghost marriage.
When the Prince thought Si Motu had already passed away, he was thinking that it would save him the trouble of having to pre-enter the normal wedding hall—after all, the expenses were quite high.
Now I'm starting to regret not splurge a little.
He led Jiang Si into the lobby, saying, "We can talk about the wedding hall later. Let's have something to eat first."
As Alice pushed the dining table in, the Prince intended to eat directly in the palace hall.
The Land of Mirrors of the past would not have allowed such a usurpation, but now she is the queen.
She was about to do something forbidden, something she hadn't been allowed to do before, to make up for the regrets of her childhood.
But as the dining table was pushed up, she saw an Alice.
He was holding Jiang Si's urn and burying his head in his food.
His eyelids twitched, and the Prince instinctively turned around to look.
Jiang Si, however, showed little annoyance or anger. Instead, she watched Alice, who was eating her own ashes, with great interest.
He seemed completely indifferent to this matter, even though he had just expressed his annoyance with the funeral.
"And who are you, Alice? Who gave you permission to eat ashes?"
Alice immediately stood up straight, her mouth full of ashes, and saluted, " Alice 114514 is remembering Lord Si Motu with a heart full of remembrance!"
The previous command was forgotten to be canceled----
The Prince's lips twitched. "You still can't eat ashes."
"It's milk powder, I added milk powder." Alice 114514 held up the urn in her hand, " Si Motu ashes-themed milk powder, and a simulated urn, to commemorate our departed queen----"
The Prince began to suspect that there was something wrong with the learning system that had accessed the external network.
This may be a wrong decision.
"Not bad."
As soon as Jiang Si spoke, the Prince's doubts were dispelled. "If it's real ashes, you can eat a little and scatter some."
I like the feeling of freedom.
Looking at Jiang Si, she felt that his expression was increasingly convincingly forced.
So she took Jiang Si's hand, gently stroked it, and lightly patted the back of his hand.
Jiang Si's hands were cold and hard, like steel, while the Prince's hands were soft and tender, yet they couldn't contain Jiang Si's. Jiang Si felt a sharp, uncomfortable pain, and said softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
For my sake, you can even swallow your anger like this.
Although Jiang Si didn't know what the Prince had wronged, she didn't delve into it. She simply looked at Alice and said, "Mix some of my own ashes, let me taste them."
Ordinary people probably can't even get their hands on milk made from their own ashes.
Alice immediately pulled out his urn and mixed the contents into her lunchbox, which was no different from the urn.
The Prince's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said, "Let's eat first, then we'll have dessert."
Jiang Si nodded, then looked at Alice 114514, "Try it."
Alice scooped up a spoonful and downed it in one gulp.
Then, giving a thumbs up, he said, "It has a milky aroma, as well as a strong muttony smell. The texture is rich and delicate, making you want to vomit."
The Prince immediately ordered his men to drag Alice 114514 away.
After the table was moved to the hall and the food was served.
Jiang Si looked at the table full of meat and fish, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
I can't help but recall the feelings I had when reading online novels.
Can poor people please stop writing stories about rich people or fantasizing about royal life?
Is your royal family's main meal just meat and fish?
At least order a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup? If that's not possible, try a lobster and abalone soup; at least you've tried.
Chicken drumsticks, chicken wings, chicken gizzards – three ways to enjoy a chicken.
What an extravagant royal life!
" The Land of Mirrors used to live a very hard life. Only after they were connected to the New World did they finally have access to such large amounts of meat and fish. In the past, even Shion from the Land of Mirrors was considered very fortunate to be able to eat something as simple as pickled vegetables and tofu."
Yes, it fills the gap of not having a poor dog like the Royal Family.
Jiang Si wasn't picky about food; he was just reminded of the PTSD he used to get from reading novels about super-rich people, like how they would immediately go to a mobile phone store to have their phone credit fully charged after becoming rich, or how they would book out an entire Apple store—all examples of showing off their wealth.
It really makes one wonder what the author's life must be like; they don't even dare to dream big.
After they sat down, the Prince served him rice, not sitting opposite him, but sitting next to him.
Jiang Si glanced at the bowls and chopsticks on the table. "Why is there only one set of bowls and chopsticks?"
Is the Land of Mirrors really in such dire straits?
"One set will suffice for us," the Prince said with a nonchalant smile. "I won't mind."
What if I find it unacceptable?
Watching the Prince use those chopsticks, taking a bite himself, and then feeding himself a bite.
I still managed to open my mouth and eat it with difficulty.
It's not that there's anything wrong with it. If you really want to talk about it, the Prince's saliva was as sweet as honey, and there wasn't much of it on the chopsticks he used. Instead, it had a pleasant fragrance, probably because the people of the Land of Mirrors have a special constitution.
But Jiang Si has never liked sharing chopsticks with others since she was a child.
The Prince noticed his dislike, so he stopped touching his chopsticks and instead started feeding Jiang Si dishes.
I originally wanted to try mouth-to-mouth feeding, but it seems Jiang Si would dislike it, so Prince decided to save it for later, when we're an old married couple and it doesn't matter anymore.
[Is it really appropriate for the Mirror King to do such a thing? Your Majesty, this is an insult and a disgrace to the Land of Mirrors!]
"The royal family of the Land of Mirrors? Do you mean just me?"
The Prince sneered as he reached out and plucked a grain of rice from Jiang Si's lips, putting it in his own mouth. "It would be strange to put on the airs of the Mirror King in front of your lover, wouldn't it? Living with such airs even in daily life is exhausting, isn't it?"
[Fun fact: You and Mr. Jiang Si are not yet married.]
Don't worry, it'll be soon.
The Prince said coldly, "I've already sent out invitations to everyone. I'll definitely give Jiang Si a grand wedding."
Are you sure this isn't a funeral?
Jiang Si wiped her mouth and looked at the table full of heavy dishes, all of which were so greasy that there wasn't a single vegetable dish.
He'd rather try making milk with his own ashes.
Let's put the wedding plans aside for now.
The boy grabbed her hand holding the chopsticks, staring into her eyes. "I want to know, how do you plan to go beyond this world?"
"If we want to go beyond the world, we can't put the wedding on hold."
The Prince seemed to enjoy Jiang Si taking his hand. " The Prove the Fire in Heaven at the wedding. To achieve the plan, a grand wedding is necessary—"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt Jiang Si's image blur for a moment.
The Prince was slightly taken aback and subconsciously reached out to grab Jiang Si, only to find that Jiang Si suddenly flew out in front of him and was then suddenly hoisted up!
Its figure was blurry, and its body flickered with Snow Screen.
[Warning: Jiang Si's spatial dimension has changed!]
When the system notification sounded, the Prince whirled around, drawing a Glock 17 pistol.
This is a self-defense weapon that I bought for a high price from Ruoyun, a magical girl from the Holy Church Demon Squad.
Before gaining the ability to transform, the Prince's ability to protect himself was always a problem.
Especially after being cornered by the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, the sense of crisis in this regard became even more severe, so the Prince bought this pistol from Holy Church Ruoyun at a high price.
However, as soon as it was raised, the same Snow Screen effect appeared at the muzzle of the gun, just like on Jiang Si's body.
"Our Witch Association also very interested in your technology for traveling the world."
A cacophony of bat screams filled the air, and soon the Prince discovered that his system had become unresponsive.
He immediately switched to manual control, maneuvering the Alice around him.
Countless bats swarmed towards her, then gradually transformed into a young girl across from her at the dining table.
The black velvet headband features a small, slightly trembling bat wing above each ear, and a large burgundy velvet bow in the center, with a dark red teardrop-shaped gemstone set in the bow, resembling a drop of congealed blood.
She wore a long, elegant black dress embroidered with rose vines and upside-down bats in subtle patterns. She wore long lace gloves as she held the teacup, and when she brought the teacup to her lips, her lips, a vibrant red that seemed almost to bleed, were particularly striking.
Wearing a half-mask, although the whole face could not be seen, the slightly upturned corners of the mouth and the narrowed dark pupils made him appear extremely mysterious and dangerous.
vampire----
The thought flashed through the Prince's mind when he heard the girl continue, "Our Witch Association also like to get involved in the plan to travel beyond this world. What do you think?"
What if I say I don't want to?
The tiny bat wings that had been fluttering above the girl's ears suddenly came to life, transformed into bats, and flew to Jiang Si, who was hanging above.
It hovered around, then took a bite!
Blood was visible on Jiang Si's body, where the spatial dimension had clearly shifted. The girl raised her cup and caught Jiang Si's blood. "Then I'm afraid I'll have to apologize to Mr. Jiang Si."
The vampire girl took a small sip and paused for a moment.
This is so delicious—the restless energy that can shake the soul made her momentarily lost in its intoxication.
So he sighed sincerely.
"Your spouse has good blood quality, it's very smooth."
The Prince stared at her with a cold gaze.
But the vampire-like girl shrugged. "Don't look at me like that, it's scary. I didn't mean to kill her, I just wanted to teach Jiang Si a lesson. Mirror King, you don't want your lover—"
The system was frantically analyzing the other party's abilities. The difference in spatial dimensions made her hesitant to act rashly, as she had no idea where the other party had teleported Jiang Si.
Another problem is that the fact that the other side was able to get this far indicates that there is a traitor within the Old World.
Who exactly joined the Witch Association and even sent someone into the royal palace?
The black fingertips tapped the table, and the bat-girl tilted her head. "Sit down and let's talk slowly."
The Prince took a deep breath and looked up at Jiang Si, who was trapped.
I walked over and slowly sat down.
"No need to put on that resentful expression. After all, I am the strongest magical girl under the president's command. In particular, I know your Alice and some technological systems inside and out. They can't do anything to me, so this result is normal."
The bat-wielding magical girl comforted the Prince, then pointed upwards to where Jiang Si was, "Of course, most importantly, Si Motu has lost his ability to transform into the Golden Calamity Dragon King, which relieves me of my worries. As a legend of the Witch Association, it's Return to Truth heartbreaking to see him become such a cripple, don't you think?"
What are you trying to say?
"Even for the sake of your loved one's dignity, so he doesn't become the kind of pitiful person who gets his head trampled on and loses face in front of his lover, you'd better choose to cooperate with the Witch Association. Only you are qualified to cooperate with the Witch Association."
A slightly sinister smile crept across the bat-girl's innocent face. "Otherwise, I'll have torment your beloved Si Motu, making him feel his own powerlessness and pain."
Stirring the blood in the cup, the girl continued, "We Witch Association always been—"
A drop of blood fell onto the table.
The conversation was interrupted as both girls simultaneously looked up at the boy who was hanging there.
The Snow Screen- like special effects still shrouded his body, but one of the boy's hands emerged from within the Snow Screen. The Snow Screen, like a blade, left wounds on the boy's hand, and blood dripped continuously from his palm.
The blood on the table was almost pooling into a puddle.
Immediately afterwards, with a sudden burst of force, his own palm and the Snow Screen's special effects were torn apart almost simultaneously, and more blood splattered down, as if Xiao Yu had begun to fall!
The Prince let the blood splatter on his face, watching without moving.
The bat girl over there finally couldn't help but stand up.
She reached out, seemingly wanting the Snow Screen to close again, but the boy had already torn Snow Screen open and emerged from another dimension, staring at her expressionlessly.
Do you like blood?
In a moment of hesitation, the boy plummeted to the ground!
Her head, adorned with a black velvet headband, was instantly grabbed, the little bat wings on her ears flew off, and the next second, the boy slammed her head hard onto the bloodstain on the table!
"Then drink more."
