Chapter 109 Blurred Memory
Chapter 109 Blurred Memory
"Sorry, fellow apprentices, please hand over your cell phones, tablets, laptops, cameras and other electronic devices before you can enter the inner courtyard."
After filling out the registration form, everyone was stopped by a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a Tai Chi scarf as soon as they walked outside the gate.
"Brother, I see that students in the school district at the foot of the mountain are allowed to bring cell phones." Someone questioned.
"I see…"
The Taoist robed senior brother smiled brightly, "Then you can go to the foot of the mountain for classes, they will be much more relaxed."
"The mountain is an elite class. Principal Gu and Vice Principal Xuan said that if you can study, then study. If you don't want to study, you can leave at any time."
"Hand it over obediently, and don't let me find it in this sect. Otherwise, I will be expelled from the sect along with you, and you will be in big trouble."
His words caused anger to flash across many people's faces.
Mo Lian didn't care. She turned off the phone, marked it, and sent it to the storage counter.
The girl wearing a Tai Chi scarf helped her lock her phone into the password cabinet and gave her a QR code receipt.
"Junior Brother Mo Lian, you can come and pick it up with the receipt after school."
Mo Lian's mouth twitched when he was called "Junior Brother" by a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
However, Taoist seniority is calculated based on seniority.
Regardless of gender, there are only titles such as junior brother, senior brother, uncle, uncle, master, and grandmaster.
After Lina handed over her phone, the two of them entered the inner courtyard together.
The site on the top of the mountain is very large and is surrounded by layers of high lofts, forming a sealed space.
Directly opposite, there was a huge golden tripod with smoke rising from it, and on both sides of the incense tripod, there was a basil pagoda.
When the wind blows, the copper bells sound clear and pleasant.
"Sister Mo Lian, look, there are people in that hall." Lina stood on tiptoe and looked inside over the crowd.
"I saw it." Mo Lian took advantage of his height and, through the curling green smoke, exchanged a glance with the person who turned around and looked back in the hall.
The man was dressed in the uniform of a young marshal from the Republic of China era, with the brim of his hat covering the upper half of his face and the lower half of his face covered by a black mask. Just like in the regular ghost story copy, only a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss were exposed.
It's Gu Sui'an.
Mo Lian walked forward slowly.
Unexpectedly, a group of brothers in Taoist robes suddenly walked out of the hall and blocked the door tightly.
The leading brother took the whisk in his hand, took the booklet handed over by the person next to him and began to call out the names.
After confirming that everyone on the list was present, he turned and walked into the hall.
"Principal Gu, Master Uncle, no one is late."
"Okay." Xuan Lingzi nodded.
He walked out beside the fully armed Gu Changsheng.
For a moment, countless fiery gazes fell on Gu Changsheng.
As the chosen one who has perfectly completed eighteen rule stories, the name "Gu Sui'an" is famous enough throughout the entire Blue Star.
Mo Lian's gaze slowly moved down from his face to the emerald green jade ring on the thumb of his left hand.
Just like what I saw in the video, it felt like a feather was gently brushing across my heart, making me feel itchy, stuffy, and slightly painful.
At the same time, a vague picture flashed through my mind, seeming familiar.
Peach blossoms are falling.
A hand glowing white gently stroked her hair, and the serious and cold voice revealed a bit of helpless doting.
"Mo Lian, why do you want to carve random words on the ring?"
"Because it's your birthday!"
The little girl said in a baby voice, "The rising sun appears in the east, may you live long and peacefully."
"I wish you eternal life, every year like today."
"When I grow up, you are not allowed to become an old man. You must be as good-looking as you are now."
"OK?"
"Answer me, please!"
"Stop messing around. I promised you." The man's voice was cold and magnetic.
"Then carve a few words for me too." The little girl continued to pull his sleeve.
"good."
"Don't hate or complain, have compassion on all living things. How strange. What does that mean?"
"When you grow up, you will understand."
"Then I have to grow up quickly."
"Actually, there's no need to rush. This is good enough."
"…"
I couldn't see anything clearly, and the few words of conversation were enough to make Mo Lian's eyes red.
"Sister Mo Lian, what's wrong with you?" Lina noticed that something was wrong with her and looked worried.
"It's okay." Mo Lian forced himself to calm down.
In front of the temple, Xuan Lingzi explained the rules of the academy to the students.
Mo Lian was still staring at the man beside him.
When I first saw the jade ring on Gu Sui'an's hand in the video of completing the dungeon, I felt it was particularly familiar.
I always feel that the lost memories of my past may be related to him.
She only has three years of memory, and before that, it's a blank.
Gu Changsheng said that it is normal for people to instinctively forget everything after suffering great harm.
She thought she was not that fragile.
Wondering where I came from.
Why do I only remember things in the ancient city of Tianshan?
So...
Can only get close to Gu Sui'an.
And she instinctively wanted to get closer to him.
Thoughts are flying.
On the stage, Xuan Lingzi finally finished reading his manuscript.
"Students who signed up today, after receiving your robes, you can go back to tidy up your dormitories and gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Remember, don't be late!"
"yes!"
The students spoke loudly.
Soon, a group of people wearing Taoist robes came over and distributed clothes according to the size of the new students.
Mo Lian also received two sets.
A dark blue set, plus a headscarf of the same color.
There is also a black set.
Two sets of Taoist robes can be considered as school uniforms.
Remembering what Gu Changsheng said, that a top-grade Taoist robe would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, Mo Lian immediately looked up at Xuan Lingzi.
The material was smooth and soft, and the embroidery was delicate and dense, and you could tell at a glance that it was not cheap.
This is what Professor Gu said: he spent all his money on equipment, but in fact he is extremely poor... Poor Taoist?
Noticing that she was looking at him, Xuan Lingzi immediately straightened his back and showed off his crane-like figure, hoping to leave a good impression on his future disciple.
"Gu boy, did you see it?"
"What?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Xuan Lingzi signaled with his eyes, "My obedient little disciple is looking at me."
"She must have taken a liking to me as her master at first sight."
"I have to be dignified and not lose face."
Gu Changsheng curled his lips, "Then you must be careful with it!"
So, Xuan Lingzi put on airs for five days. In class, he deliberately hung around in front of Mo Lian, and even had a few chance encounters when he went out, but still got nothing.
Seeing that Mo Lian was about to get into another rule-related weird talk, he had no choice but to run to the principal's office for help.
"Principal Gu, tell me, how can I make Mo Lian take the initiative to become my disciple?"
"I've done everything I could these past few days. I really don't know what to do. You're with her every day, so you know her personality a little bit."
"Give me some advice quickly."
Gu Changsheng closed his laptop and looked up at him. "Tell me, what have you done these days?"
"During class, I personally supervise Mo Lian's homework, waiting for her to come and ask me when she has questions she doesn't understand." Xuan Lingzi sighed.
"But she never asks, so I can only ask her proactively, thinking that if she doesn't know, I can explain it to her in detail."
"Who knew she would learn so quickly? She could solve some problems before they were even explained."
"Do you know what a deep affinity with the Tao is? This is it!"
"I am unable to accept her as my disciple in this lifetime. I feel so ashamed towards my master and my ancestors!" Xuan Lingzi sighed.
Gu Changsheng recalled that on the way home, Mo Lian complained to him angrily, "Gu Changsheng, I think the old man who teaches at the Taoist Academy is targeting me."
"He's asking questions about things he hasn't even learned yet. If I hadn't taken a look in advance, I would have been really stumped by him."
"You old fool, you want me to embarrass myself in public? No way."
From that day on, Mo Lian worked hard and studied diligently every day. He read all the books in his hands and asked him questions by sending him green bubbles when he didn't understand something.
"Great God, great God, please show me how to interpret this hexagram."
"What is this symbol?"
"Master, I can't solve this problem either."
"Master, I asked you so many questions, can I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"
Gu Changsheng, who had already seen through Mo Lian's little thoughts, curled his lips and suddenly smiled.Chapter 110 Xianweitang
Chapter 110 Xianweitang
"bite..."
The cell phone rang, and Gu Changsheng swiped the screen, only to see a message from Mo Lian.
[Poor but not cute: Master, why don't you reply to my message? ]
[If you are too busy, I will treat you to a meal later. ]
Gu Changsheng's fingers froze on the screen for a long time, but he still sent out two words.
"Where are you going?"
After receiving this message, Mo Lian, who was at the foot of Beiling Mountain, jumped for joy immediately. After venting his excitement, he quickly replied.
Poor but not cute: "Last time I heard that the roast duck at Dijing Xianweitang was good, how about we go there?"
[May my life be peaceful forever: That house is very expensive]
Poor but not cute: "It's okay, I have money now."
[May I live forever: Has Professor Gu paid off his 15 million? ]
Mo Lian: "…"
This question made her calm down instantly and she replied.
Pitiable but not cute: "I will pay him back after I graduate from Tao College. I won't owe him for too long."
[My life is safe every year: I believe you]
Pitiable but not cute: "Thank you, God, for your trust."
[Wu Sheng Sui Sui An: You're welcome. It's my job as a principal to trust my students. You can take a taxi to the hotel first. I guess I'll be there a little late.]
Poor but not cute: "I heard that there is a long queue at meal time, I'll go and grab a seat first."
[My life is always peaceful: good]
Mo Lian, who had deliberately asked questions for several days and asked the person out to express his gratitude, closed the chat box, temporarily downloaded a taxi app, and called a taxi.
Not long after, a white SUV stopped on the side of the road.
Mo Lian looked at the license plate and confirmed that it was the car he called before opening the door and sitting in the back seat.
"Please fasten your seat belts." The driver reminded and started the car.
Mo Lian wore a blue Taoist robe from the Taoist Academy today, and her hair was tied into a bun with a hairpin and fixed inside a Tai Chi scarf.
The driver looked at her several times in the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "Little girl, are you studying at the Wendao College?"
"Yes." Mo Lian nodded.
"That college is amazing. I heard that people who don't have money to pay tuition can help the college do what they can in their free time and study for free."
"I don't know about that." Mo Lian's tuition is completely waived, and she only needs to pay a part of the living expenses.
The driver realized that this person was the kind of student who paid a huge amount of tuition to go to school. "Little girl, you look familiar to me. You look like a chosen one named Mo Lian."
Mo Lian smiled, "It's a bit like that, everyone says so."
The driver smiled, observed the road conditions, and parked the car in front of a large, antique restaurant. "Little girl, we're here."
"Thank you very much."
Mo Lian got out of the car with his cell phone and entered the gate of Xianweitang.
At this time, a woman in a cheongsam came towards us, "Miss, do you have an appointment?"
"No." Mo Lian shook his head.
"Well, I'm sorry, we don't have any seats right now. Why don't you go to the recreation area and wait for a while?"
Mo Lian frowned slightly.
It will be dark soon. It will be too late to go somewhere else at this time because the rule ghost story will soon begin.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Mo Lian?" The young man's voice suddenly sounded.
"Yes." Mo Lian looked up and saw a handsome man in a red suit walking towards him not far away.
He walked over quickly, and the cheongsam woman called out respectfully, "Mr. Ling."
"You go down first, I will entertain Mo Lian."
"yes."
The cheongsam woman walked away.
Mo Lian was puzzled, "Why are you entertaining me if there is no seat?"
"My name is Ling Feng, and I own this small restaurant." The man explained with a bright smile.
"Sui'an and I are good friends. He just called me and said you would come over and asked me to reserve a private room for you."
When Mo Lian heard that he was Gu Sui'an's friend, he became less wary.
Ling Feng turned sideways and said enthusiastically, "It is a great honor for our Dragon Country's great hero to visit our store. Come in, please."
…
Xianweitang, number one.
A very old-fashioned room number.
The decoration is also in ancient style, with various antiques displayed inside, which reminds Mo Lian of the priceless antiques on the display shelves in his own living room.
The melodious and ethereal sound of the piano came faintly from outside.
In addition, there is a screen in the room covered with calligraphy, which gives people a feeling of transcending ancient and modern times.
Mo Lian waited for a long time, but Gu Sui'an still didn't come.
As the sky gradually darkened, my phone vibrated for a moment and I received a message.
[Wu Sheng Sui Sui An: Sorry, I have some urgent matters to attend to and cannot leave for the time being. I called Professor Gu and asked him to accompany you. We can only make an appointment next time.]
As soon as the news was received, Gate No. 1 was opened.
Mo Lian looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and slender figure through the translucent screen.
Gu Changsheng walked around the screen with his long straight legs and found someone looking at him with disappointment.
"Why, you don't want to see me?"
"Not really."
Mo Lian lowered his head and typed quickly with his fingers and sent it.
Pitiable but not cute: "Master, the old antique is here, don't worry about me, you go ahead and do your work, we'll make an appointment next time."
Just as she finished replying, the waiter brought the dish.
Gu Changsheng put on disposable gloves, skillfully rolled up the roast duck burrito, and brought it to Mo Lian.
"Don't play with your phone. If you don't eat something, you'll probably be hungry after entering the ghost story."
"Why are you here?" Mo Lian took the burrito and took a big bite.
"How can I feel at ease when you're running around alone?"
"I don't hit anyone."
"Yes, you only hit me."
Mo Lian raised her long eyelashes, glared at him, and said nothing more.
Just when she had eaten and drunk her fill, a mechanical voice came down from the sky and penetrated into the minds of every Blue Star citizen.
[Little cuties of Blue Star, the rule-based weird story that you have been coveting for a long time has arrived again]
[Instance Difficulty: ★★★★]
[Mortality rate: 85%]
[Please confirm whether to enter the dungeon. If you do not make a choice within the specified time, the strange story will randomly select a chosen one.]
A light blue screen appeared in front of Mo Lian's eyes, and the countdown indicator kept flashing, as if urging her to hurry up.
[Sure]
As soon as she pressed the button, she was enveloped by a black and red halo and disappeared on the spot.
Gu Changsheng glanced at the empty cushion, wiped his hands, stood up and walked out.
When I opened the door, I saw a slender arm leaning on the door frame, blocking my way.
The man was wearing a burgundy suit, and his handsome face was full of ambiguous smiles. "Hey, Professor Gu used his old name again just to deceive the girl?"
Gu Changsheng had an indifferent expression and walked away. "I don't have time to chat with you. I've reserved this room. No one is allowed to enter until Mo Lian comes back."
"Also, keep an eye on the Chu family. If they don't move out of the Imperial Capital within half a month, you don't have to show mercy."
"I understand." Ling Feng ignored Gu Changsheng's indifference and followed closely.
"Tell me quickly, is your pink bunny girlfriend Mo Lian?"Chapter 111 Dark Fairy Tale: The Princess's Escape (4)
Chapter 111 Dark Fairy Tale: The Princess's Escape (4)
Mo Lian was forcibly pulled into the darkness, and the cold and ruthless voice of the rules and strange talks rang in his ears.
[The chosen countries for this instance are Beautiful Country, Dragon Country, Big Bear Country, Kimchi Country, Little Japan Country, Pakistan Country, and Big Eagle Country]
[Nineteen countries have not been selected as the Chosen Ones, including Bali, Daihu, North Canada, Asan, and Elephant Country.]
[Challenge Instance: Black Fairy Tale Princess Escape]
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick fairy tale book suddenly appeared in the air.
The book caught fire for no apparent reason.
As soon as Mo Lian approached, the fairy tale book opened automatically and stopped at a certain page in the middle.
[Congratulations to the Dragon Nation's Chosen One for randomly drawing a princess character: skin as white as snow, glowing white]
[Plot introduction: In fairy tales, the destiny of all princesses seems to be to marry a prince.
Are they really willing?
No!
They also have their own thoughts and people they like.
Dear little princess, the opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you, please seize it.
Run away!
Break free from the shackles.
Run!
Escape the cage that holds you.
Don't get caught by the king's troops.
Just hold on for seven days...
You can have a free life. ]
After the plot introduction, the feeling of weightlessness hits me instantly.
Mo Lian opened his eyes again and found himself in a castle.
Before she could even look for the rules, she heard two people's footsteps approaching quickly, and she quickly hid behind the statue of the king.
Through the gap, I could vaguely see a knight in armor walking quickly towards me.
Then, he was hugged by the waist by the woman who rushed over from behind.
"Oh, dear, why are you so heartless and unwilling to look at me? Do you think I am too old and ugly to be as beautiful as Princess Mo Lian?"
Mo Lian, who was hiding in the dark: "..."
Armored Knight: "My dear Queen, please don't talk nonsense. How dare I covet the noble Princess?"
"Please let go, Queen. It's not good to be seen by others."
"So tell me, who is prettier, me or Princess Mo Lian?" The queen, who was wearing luxurious clothes, let go of his hand and slowly walked to the knight.
The knight looked away, "The queen is beautiful."
Only after hearing words that satisfied her did the queen allow him to leave.
The armored knight walked out of the castle gate. The queen adjusted her dress and the crown in her hair, then turned and walked back to her room.
The words just now made Mo Lian realize that the king in this copy, her father, was cheated!
but...
The hat wasn't hers, and she didn't care.
For her, the most important thing right now is to find the rules!
After waiting for a long time and seeing no movement around, she tiptoed out from behind the statue.
The castle was very big. Mo Lian searched for a long time before she found a piece of paper in the gap behind a painting. It was exactly the copy rules she wanted.
[Rule One: Your father is the king, and you are the king's only daughter. Remember, as the most noble princess in this country, you must wear a princess dress.
Rule 2: The king loves your biological mother very much and treats you with all his heart.
Rule three: Remember, you are the king's daughter, don't make him angry.
Rule 4: Your stepmother loves your face very much and will send you various supplements every day, so you can enjoy them with confidence.
Rule Five: There are witches wandering around at night, don't meet them.
Rule Six: As a princess in a fairy tale, you exude a fascinating aura. In their eyes, you are the most delicious food in the world, enough to drive people crazy.
Rule 7: You have a knight who loves you so much that he is willing to sacrifice his life for you, but he is very jealous.
Rule 8: The prince of the neighboring country has heard that you are extremely beautiful and is on his way to propose marriage. He will arrive in three days. Please escape from the castle before the prince proposes marriage.
Rule Nine: When running away, never let anyone see your face.
Rule 10: The Royal City is heavily guarded. After 8 o'clock at night, no one in the city is allowed to appear on the street except for the guards.
Rule 11: Remember, don't fall in love with anyone.
Rule 12: There are at least two errors in the above rules. ]
After reading the rules, Mo Lian lowered his head and looked at the blue Taoist robe he was wearing.
"Even though there are wrong rules, rule one should be right."
In Western fairy tales, princesses in the castle must of course wear princess dresses.
so...
The most urgent task is to find the princess' room as soon as possible.
Mo Lian wrote down the rules and threw the paper into the fire.
While she was looking for the princess' room, the other chosen ones were looking for the rules.
Since there was no opportunity to give hints on the first day, leaders of various countries had no way to give hints even if they knew the clues.
Compared with the quietness in the live broadcast rooms in other countries, the live broadcast room in Longguo seems too lively.
[Puchi...Hahahaha, this copy really made me laugh to death. ]
[Yes, all the Chosen Ones, regardless of gender, are princesses and have to wear princess dresses. I am really looking forward to seeing what the male Chosen Ones will look like in dresses.]
[I don't care what others wear, I just want to see Miss Mo Lian wearing a princess dress. ]
[Me too, me too, I really want to see my princess right away. ]
Just as the barrage of comments was being scrolled, an emotionless mechanical sound suddenly came from the sky.
[The Chosen Ones from 16 countries including India, Myanmar, and Vietnam were killed, strange things happened randomly, the weather was freezing, and there was a magnitude 10 earthquake...]
The barrage in the live broadcast room stopped for a moment, and then started to increase frantically again.
[What's going on? So many people died at the beginning of the dungeon? ]
[Not surprising at all. Every time we open a dungeon, it is always so tragic, with more than half of the people dying.]
[All those chosen ones who died in the battle were entering the ghost story for the first time. They didn't know anything and didn't even know to hide when someone came. ]
[Fortunately, our Miss Mo Lian is very smart and managed to escape the disaster]
[The goddess is mighty! ]
[Please stop posting comments. I can't see Miss Mo Lian in her princess dress anymore! ]
At this time, on the live broadcast screen, Mo Lian had changed into a princess dress.
The light pink dress made her whole body look very fair, her skin was whiter than snow, and faintly emitted a light white glow.
Under the glittering silver crown, the dark blue hair spread out like seaweed onto the round shoulders.
Mo Lian sat in front of the dressing table. The girl's delicate face was reflected in the mirror inlaid with various gemstones.
The long curled eyelashes make the pair of peach blossom eyes look bigger, and the dark eyes are clear and clean, like a quiet lake, rippling with light.
Her skin was naturally very white, and the rules of the strange story gave her a personality that was so white that it glowed, dazzling, and so hazy that it didn't look like a real person.
At the strange management meeting, Xuan Lingzi saw Gu Changsheng who had just entered the room and hurriedly shouted: "Professor Gu, come here quickly. I guess you have never seen Mo Lian like this."
"My little apprentice is so adorable in a princess dress."
"My heart is melting."
Gu Changsheng didn't respond. When he raised his eyes, he saw the little princess in a pink puffy skirt on the huge screen.
He paused slightly.
At that moment, my heart seemed to be out of control and skipped a beat.Chapter 112 The Queen's Soup
Chapter 112 The Queen's Soup
Gu Changsheng was frozen in place by Mo Lian on the live broadcast screen, and was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
He walked quickly back to his desk, pulled out a chair and sat down. He opened his laptop and asked, "Xiao Qi, tell me the details of this instance."
Little Qi's name is Qi Xiangfeng. He is the youngest son of a senior leader of the Long State. He has been interested in metaphysics since he was a child and thus entered Taoism.
After the arrival of the strange rules, you will pass layers of assessment and enter the weird management committee.
He stood up and respectfully handed Gu Changsheng a notebook, "Brother Gu, I have written down everything I can see."
"The start of this instance is the same as before. The Chosen Ones from each country are in their own separate spaces. It is unknown whether they will meet each other later."
"Based on the rules we Chosen Ones found, I think there is something wrong with the four major probabilities of the rules."
"In fairy tales, the queen who is the stepmother is usually the villain. She is jealous of the princess's beauty and wants to kill her."
"However, the twelfth rule of this strange talk says that there are at least two errors in the above rules. In this case, there may be two or more wrong rules."
"Kenston, the Chosen One of the United States, broke his leg in the last dungeon and did not participate in this dungeon. We cannot tell from his talent which rules are true and which are false."
"I guess the ghost story has made adjustments to target the Chosen One this time."
"You're right. However, the copy has just begun, so it's normal that we can't see much." Gu Changsheng quickly scanned his notes and returned his gaze to the live broadcast on the computer screen.
At this time, Mo Lian had already walked to the door.
"Boom boom boom~"
The knocking on the door continued, as if the person outside would never give up unless she opened it.
[Outside the door is the servant sent by the stepmother to bring the princess a health-preserving soup. The chosen one of the Japanese country, Yamano Umekawa, drank the soup and nothing went wrong. Rule 4 should be correct. Miss Mo Lian can open the door without worry.]
[If that's the case, then I'll be relieved. My little princess must be safe! ]
[But, stepmothers in fairy tales are not good people. Will nothing bad happen if I drink the soup? ]
The comments from the crowd in Longguo's live broadcast room kept scrolling up.
Rules in the weird copy.
Mo Lian opened the door and a white-haired old woman in a maid outfit brought a tray with a bowl of milky white soup on it. It looked like milk, but the taste...
There is a faint strange floral fragrance.
The aroma is so tempting that people can't help but want to drink it.
What she hated the most was this kind of thing that made people lose their minds. The more addictive it was, the more they lost control of themselves.
Those who cannot control their own behavior will be like puppets, at the mercy of others.
"Princess Mo Lian, the soup is getting cold. The Queen said that it should be drunk while hot."
"good."
Mo Lian took the soup bowl, but her hand loosened and the delicate glass bowl instantly fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a "pop".
"Princess, you..."
The old maid was obviously frightened by her. Just as she was about to scream, she met a pair of slightly red peach blossom eyes.
The gold medal brainwasher's skill was activated, and she was controlled by mental power, standing stiffly in front of the door without moving.
[bite...]
[Congratulations to Dragon Nation's Chosen One Mo Lian for obtaining the Strange Pet, Ghostly Strange Servant]
Mo Lian was stunned.
I thought it was just an NPC, but I didn't expect it to be so weird.
"Master." The old servant said respectfully.
"Do you know what this soup is all about?" Mo Lian regained his composure and asked in a calm voice.
"My Lord, the soup was made for you by the Queen herself. I am not sure what was put into it."
Unable to get any useful information, Mo Lian frowned, "I see, you clean up the things here, and find a place to dispose of the remaining soup, don't bring it to me."
"If the queen asks, you can say I am the same as before."
"yes."
The old servant picked up the bowls and soup on the ground and turned to leave.
Mo Lian raised his wrist and looked at the golden watch.
The time is eight o'clock in the evening.
She closed the door and walked onto the balcony that towered into the sky.
It was dark outside, and the warm yellow light reflected the falling snow.
The endless snow scene slowly spreads out outside the castle, adding a touch of winter's unique romance.
At this moment, Mo Lian felt that he had truly become one with the fairy tale.
In the quiet night, guards occasionally walked by.
Looking at them, Mo Lian fell into deep thought.
[Rule 7: You have a knight who loves you so much that he is willing to sacrifice his life for you. However, he is very jealous.]
[Rule 11: Remember, don't fall in love with anyone]
These two rules made Mo Lian understand that as the Chosen One, he could not have any feelings for the knights.
"In three days, the prince of a neighboring country will come to ask for my hand in marriage. This means that I cannot meet him and must flee the castle before he arrives."
"Perhaps, this knight who loves me can help me escape."
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled slightly.
When Mo Lian was finalizing the next course of action, the ten surviving Chosen Ones also successfully found the princess's room and changed into princess dresses.
In Pakistan, Lina heard a knock on the door and opened it. The maid outside said with a grim expression, "Princess, the soup is getting cold. The queen said that it should be drunk while it is hot."
Lina took the bowl and when she lowered her head to drink the soup, a golden light flashed on her wrist.
That light is a prop to dispel the strange aura. It can be used three times in the copy. It is the reward obtained after passing the four-star level with Mo Lian.
There is something wrong with this bowl of soup!
Seeing that she drank the soup, the maid's expression improved. She took the empty bowl, turned around and left.
On the first day of the copy, nothing happened to the chosen one who drank the soup, and those who managed not to drink the soup were also safe.
"Professor Gu, is my guess wrong?"
At the strange management meeting, Qi Xiangfeng looked puzzled, "Mo Lian relied on his innate skills to not drink the bowl of soup, but the little Waguo drank it and is now sleeping soundly, his life is not in danger."
"Kimir from the Great Bear Country drank the soup and vomited it out after the maid left. Nothing happened for now."
"Everyone is unharmed. Maybe this bowl of soup is really okay?"
"No, enlarge the video of the Chosen One from Japan and watch it carefully." Gu Changsheng said slowly.
After Qi Xiangfeng read it, he suddenly realized, "It turns out that this bowl of soup can make people fall into nightmares!"
On the live broadcast screen, the chosen one of the small Japanese country, Yamano Umekawa, was wearing a light yellow princess dress, and his androgynous face was a little pale. If you didn't know that he was a man, you would probably doubt his gender.
His brows were furrowed and beads of sweat were on his forehead.
Except for himself, no one knows what kind of terrible thing appeared in his nightmare that made the most famous Yin-Yang Master of Blue Star so scared.
"Bagayalu, you filthy bastards, let me go now."
"Nine-tailed Fox, save me!"
In the dark forest, Shanye Meichuan was imprisoned by countless withered vines. He shouted at the top of his lungs, but the divine pet did not come to rescue him.
After fiercely resisting, she not only failed to break free, but also caused the already torn princess dress to tear even bigger...Chapter 113 The Good of Being Sincere
Chapter 113 The Good of Being Sincere
The soft bed and the room filled with the fragrance of flowers allowed Mo Lian to spend her first beautiful night in the fairy tale world.
When the warm sunlight shines through the windowsill and falls on the pink princess bed, her thick and curled eyelashes slowly open like the light wings of a butterfly.
As soon as she woke up, the black cat that was keeping watch also opened its eyes.
"Master, someone came last night and left a bunch of pink roses outside the door."
"Oh?" Mo Lian was surprised, "Did you see who it was?"
"Master, when I went out, I only saw that the other person was a man in armor. He was very tall and probably not very old. I was afraid that something might happen to the master, so I didn't chase him."
"It's okay. I have a way. I will make him come out to see me himself." Mo Lian curved her cherry lips, revealing a pair of sharp little fangs.
As soon as she smiled, Longguo's live broadcast room became lively again.
[Early in the morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my goddess's smiling face as bright as the morning sun. I was so happy.]
[Little Princess Mo Lian's smile instantly turned me into a mentally retarded person]
[There is a kind of homesickness, that is, the mouth is not long enough to kiss Miss Mo Lian on the screen]
[Please capture me and make me an NPC in the Rules Ghost Story. I want to be the knight who protects the princess.]
[Ahhhh… Miss Mo Lian received flowers. Look, look, she is more beautiful than the flowers.]
In the copy, Mo Lian opened the door and saw a bunch of pink roses on the floor outside.
She picked up the flower, held it in her arms, and looked thoughtful.
At this time, a row of knights came from outside and half-knelt respectfully in front of her.
The leading young man lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the King has something to ask you. Please follow me to the palace."
Mo Lian looked at the man for a moment, "You, raise your head."
The knight closest to her raised his head, his eyes half lowered, as if he didn't dare to overstep the line.
She confirmed at a glance that this was the knight she had met last night, the man who had cuckolded her father, the king.
"May I have your name?"
"Your Highness, my name is Roth."
"I'll remember you. Get up and take me to see my father."
"yes."
Roth stood up, turned around and walked in front, leading Mo Lian.
Outside the gate, countless servants were working hard to sweep the snow. Mo Lian walked along the red carpets and came to the even more majestic gate of the palace.
[Rule 2: The king loves your biological mother very much and treats you with all his heart]
[Rule 3: Remember, you are the king's daughter, don't make him angry]
Mo Lian analyzed the two rules in her mind, lifted up her heavy skirt, and walked towards the palace where the king lived.
…
At the same time, Aleph, the chosen one of Northern Canada, came before the king.
Sitting on the throne above him, the tall and mighty man with a golden crown on his head was staring down at him. There was no sign that he was as devoted and kind to his only daughter as the rules said.
"Greetings, Father."
"Um."
The man retracted his gaze and sighed softly, "Time flies by, my little princess, she will be married in the blink of an eye."
Thinking of the prince from the neighboring country who would come to propose marriage in three days, Aleph frowned.
The king continued, "My father asked you to come here to tell you something. The prince of the neighboring country heard about your beauty from somewhere and insisted on coming all the way here to marry you."
"You are my only daughter, how could I bear to let you marry so far away?"
"Then...why not, father, tell him that your daughter will not marry him."
After Aleph finished saying this, he suddenly noticed that the king's face turned darker and his facial features gradually became distorted and hideous.
"The neighboring country has ten times more soldiers than ours. If you don't marry him, will that give them an excuse to attack our country?"
A strange black aura instantly filled the palace. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he wanted to run, but he couldn't even take a step.
"Puff…Puff…Puff…"
As the sound of skin tearing was heard, the prompt sound of the rule ghost story also sounded at the same time.
[Aleph, the Chosen One of Northern Canada, was killed, and a strange dungeon was randomly selected in a city. The Princess of the Dark Fairy Tale escaped]
The people in the live broadcast room in Northern Canada were completely scared and went crazy, with barrages of comments popping up one after another.
[Oh my god, this is "It's really good to be open-hearted", my heart, liver, and lungs, nothing is left out, all are taken out]
[Why did Aleph, this idiot, answer the question wrong? Our country is doomed now. I wonder which unlucky city will be punished by the weird rules.]
[Everyone get ready. If there is any danger, run away immediately.]
[It's over. The street outside my house turned into a dark forest in the blink of an eye. There was also a weird laugh inside.]
[Someone is knocking on the door, and shouting, "Little princess, come out quickly! Someone, please save me! Please save me quickly!"]
The cold and mechanical report of the Rules and Talks was heard by everyone on the Blue Star.
At the Dragon Country's strange management meeting.
Xiao Zhao raised his head and said, "Professor Gu, Big Bear Country and Pakistan Country request to connect."
"In addition, we received a transfer of 100 million beautiful coins from a large country, hoping that we can provide useful tips to ensure that their chosen ones survive."
"Connect the connection and bring the big countries along as well." Gu Changsheng agreed, and suddenly, the copy screens of three more countries appeared in the live video of Longguo.
"Don't ask your chosen one to answer questions before being prompted."
"Unless our Dragon Nation's Chosen One, Mo Lian, gives the correct answer and does not trigger an error."
"Okay, we will all listen to Marshal Gu." The three national leaders responded in unison.
In order to prevent his face from being seen by too many people, Gu Changsheng took the initiative to ask someone to put up a screen where he was.
In the video, only his voice can be heard and a blurry figure can be seen.
He put down his notes and picked up the prompter, his eyes always fixed on Mo Lian in the computer, ready to give prompts at any time.
Under the guidance of the knight, Mo Lian was extremely well-behaved. She lifted her pink skirt and walked slowly to the king.
"Father, were you busy with state affairs all night last night? That's why you look so haggard?" Without waiting for the other party to speak, she took the lead in leading the conversation.
Sitting on the high throne, the king was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and then sighed, "My little princess has grown up."
"Come to your father quickly. He has something to tell you."
Mo Lian lifted her little skirt and walked up the golden steps step by step. Her every move was filled with the noble demeanor that only a princess could have, delicate and elegant.
She walked to the throne, slowly squatted down, and lay on the king's knees. She tilted her head slightly, revealing the innocent eyes of a young girl, "Who is so annoying that he has to make my father so worried?"
"Hahaha..."
The man stroked his slightly curly black beard and laughed indulgently, "Who else could it be for? Of course it's because of you, my sweetheart."
"Father~"
Mo Lian's eyes turned red. "I brought flowers to my father, but he hates me."
"No, why would father hate you?"
The man's big hand fell on the girl's soft hair, patted her head gently, and said soothingly, "Father is wrong, father apologizes to you."
"Then I forgive my father." Mo Lian burst into laughter, and his expression changed so quickly that it was astonishing.
She turned around and waved to the knights below, "Roth, bring my rose here. I want to give my favorite flower to my dearest father."
The knight who was holding the bouquet of roses for Mo Lian froze for a moment. After a moment, he walked forward, half-knelt on the ground, and handed over the flowers.Chapter 114 The King's Question TrapChapter 114 The King's Question TrapThe king's eyes became even softer after receiving the rose, "My little princess is so thoughtful today."
"Unfortunately, it will be difficult for my father to see you again in the future."
"Why did you say that, father?" Mo Lian seemed not to understand what he said, "If you want to see me, I will come to see you every day."
The king sighed, "You don't know, you know nothing."
"I don't know where the prince from the neighboring country heard that my father has a princess of unparalleled beauty, and he insisted on coming thousands of miles to ask for her hand in marriage."
When this issue was mentioned, the hearts of all Long people were suddenly lifted up.
[After answering this question, the chosen one from Northern Canada was opened up to the king by the strange man.]
[What should I do? Will Miss Mo Lian be in danger? ]
[Don't worry, you forgot that Miss Mo Lian's pets are not vegetarians. If the king dares to become a weirdo, he will probably be eaten alive. ]
[That's right, if it wasn't for the purpose of finding clues and completing the game perfectly, Miss Mo Lian wouldn't be here to accompany him and pretend to be nice.]
The people of Long Country don't care much about this, but the three countries connected to the Weird Management Council have to care about it.
After all, their Chosen One was on his way to the palace.
Ghost story copy, live broadcast.
After the king asked this question, his eyes were secretly observing Mo Lian.
But she saw her eyes reddened, "Father, I can't bear to leave you. You know, I lost my mother when I was young, and you are my only relative. Don't you want a daughter anymore?"
She fell on the king's knees and hid the expression on her face.
The girl's shoulders trembled slightly and she looked very sad.
"Ah~" the king sighed, raising his hand to stroke her back, "Father can't bear to leave you either!"
"But the country behind that prince is too powerful. If you don't marry him, I'm afraid he won't let you go."
"As a princess, this is your fate."
"My poor daughter."
[Congratulations to Dragon Country's Chosen One Mo Lian for obtaining clues, the prince's strong proposal, plot progress +10]
[Current progress 10%]
Mo Lian heard the mechanical sound of the rules and strange stories and adjusted his mood in time.
She raised her head, her eyes red, "Father is right, my daughter will wait for him to come and marry her."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the king was also very sad, "Go back and rest early."
"Yes, father."
The moment Mo Lian turned around, his eyes returned to coldness. He glanced at the row of knights below, turned around and walked out of the palace.
As soon as she returned to the palace, someone brought her delicious food.
In such a cold winter, vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, cheese and other snacks are all available.
While Mo Lian was enjoying a delicious lunch, the Chosen One of the Pakistani Kingdom had entered the palace and met the tall, mighty and serious king.
As she had received the hint in advance, Lina gritted her teeth and acted like a little girl, acting coquettishly to the king, and the process went smoothly.
The camera of Kimir, the chosen one of the Great Bear Country, turned to the public screen, instantly making several leaders of the Dragon Country choke on their mouths of water.
Xuan Lingzi stroked his beard and smiled, "Kimir is wearing this purple puffy skirt. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a King Kong princess."
In the video, Emperor Tekin couldn't help laughing, "To be honest, it would be better for him to wear this dress on the Chosen One of the Little Japan. At least it won't be eye-catching."
As everyone was talking, Kimir was struggling with his inner thoughts.
It is really embarrassing for him, a grown man, to act like a spoiled child in front of the king.
However, for the sake of the country, he had no choice but to give it all.
Unfortunately, just a few seconds of hesitation made him miss the opportunity.
The king raised his eyes and stared at him, and spoke before him, "Time flies, my little princess, and you will be married in the blink of an eye."
Kimir froze. The king continued, "Father asked you to come here to tell you something. The prince of the neighboring country heard about your beauty from somewhere and insisted on coming all the way here to marry you."
"You are my only daughter, how could I bear to let you marry so far away?"
The people from the Big Bear Country's Weird Bureau were stunned.
This question is a trap. Now an accident has happened, causing the plot to go the same way as in Northern Canada.
"Master Gu, what should we do?"
"Do you still have a chance to give a hint?" Gu Changsheng asked as he watched Mo Lian's video at double speed, only slowing down for a few seconds at the critical moment.
The Big Bear Country prompter nodded, "Five seconds left."
Five seconds can't convey much information.
Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment, then gave the key words, "Let Kimir express his reluctance, but he cannot refuse, nor should he take the initiative to agree."
"Okay, I'll give Kimir a prompt right away." The Big Bear Country prompter quickly pressed the prompt button in his hand to send relevant information to the Chosen One in the copy.
Kimir breathed a sigh of relief after receiving his own reminder and looked up to meet the king's eyes.
"Father, your daughter can't bear to leave you either."
"So are you going to marry or not?" The king stood up and walked down step by step from the height with his two-meter-tall figure.
Kimir swallowed and said, "Everything is up to my father."
He didn't say he would marry her, nor did he say he wouldn't marry her. So this shouldn't be considered a rejection, nor an agreement, right?
After giving the answer, he was ready to use his innate skills to escape, but the king sighed heavily, "In three days, the prince will come to the royal city, and then it will be the day for you to get married."
Kimir didn't respond, the king waved his hand, "Father knows you are in a bad mood, go back and rest early."
Pakistan and the Big Bear country successfully escaped danger.
The big country had three chosen ones from other countries as references, who gave prompts quickly and managed to escape the disaster.
It was the first time that multiple countries were connected and successfully allowed the chosen ones to complete the dungeon mission. The leaders of the four countries relaxed at the same time.
Emperor Tejin of the Great Bear Country looked through the dimly visible screen at the tall and straight figure behind him.
"Master Gu, you in Dragon Country, and an excellent Chosen One like Mo Lian, will definitely lead our Blue Star to a new future without weirdness."
"I didn't do anything. It's all Mo Lian's credit." Gu Changsheng said calmly.
He is so desireless and indifferent to everything that people can't feel any human emotions or desires from him.
He gives people the feeling of being an emotionless robot, cold and heartless.
"You know that Mo Lian did not receive the prompt."
"The information I gave you was also analyzed based on Mo Lian's answers."
"The king was reluctant to give up his daughter, but he was the king of a country and he had to consider the entire country, so he had no choice but to let the princess marry."
"In the strange story of rules, some rules can lead to unimaginable consequences if you are not careful."
"Rule two, the king loves your biological mother very much and treats you with all his heart."
"Rule three, remember, you are the king's daughter, don't make him angry."
When Gu Changsheng said this, his eyes swept across the laptop, and suddenly he saw Mo Lian puffing up his cheeks to eat. He unconsciously curled the corners of his lips before continuing.
"These two rules can be considered together. First, as the king's daughter, you cannot make him angry. Otherwise, this sincere kindness will turn into actual action."
"But it's not unsolvable. At this point, we can actually save the situation by just mentioning the princess's mother who passed away young."
The leaders sighed, "Sometimes, a situation that can be reversed with just one sentence can still cause countless chosen ones to lose their lives."
Chapter 115 Lure the snake out of its hole
Chapter 115 Lure the snake out of its hole
In the Rule Ghost Story copy, after just one day, only nine of the twenty-six chosen ones were left.
Last time in the Lost City, although ten people made it through, most of them were injured and did not participate in this strange talk about the rules.
Therefore, many new people joined.
While others were looking for ways to escape from the castle, Mo Lian was checking his information as the Chosen One without rushing.
[Personal Information Update]

[Items: 10 boxes of weird cans, increased physical strength and weird resistance) and a random attribute point skill card. ]
[Talented brainwashing skill level 3, proficiency 3/40]
With a bunch of strange pets around him, Mo Lian is not worried about his personal safety.
What she wanted was a perfect clearance.
Her intuition told her that the plot in this castle had not been fully unlocked.
Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the random attribute point skill card in the inventory, "I wonder what skill points this card can give."
After participating in several rule talks, Mo Lian's mental power points increased and the number of times he lost control became less and less.
"Use." She pointed her finger at the light blue screen in mid-air, and a golden light flashed, enveloping her.
[Congratulations to Dragon Nation's Chosen One Mo Lian for increasing his physical strength by 5]
[Physical strength updated...]
[Current physical strength is off the charts +6]
Mo Lian felt her muscles and bones strengthened. She exerted a little force with her slender fingers, and the glass cup in her palm shattered with a "crack".
"Princess, you are injured."
A young man's voice contained a worry that could not be ignored.
Mo Lian raised his eyes and met the visitor's gaze.
The other person was wearing silver armor, had a tall and slender figure, and walked towards them quickly.
"Rot?"
"Your Highness, your wound needs to be treated as soon as possible."
The man's deep and dark gaze fell on the girl's white and slender fingers.
The glass fragments reflected colorful light, and the bright red blood flowed down from the fingers like gorgeous rose petals, staining the plush carpet on the ground red.
[Rule 7: You have a knight who loves you so much that he is willing to sacrifice his life for you. However, he is very jealous.]
Mo Lian went over this rule in his mind.
Today, she received flowers secretly sent by the knight, and she deliberately gave them to the king in public to lure the snake out of its hole.
Could it be that the knight who is extremely obsessed with the princess in the copy is Roth?
So...
What's going on between him and the queen?
Unable to figure it out, Mo Lian decided to test him.
"Rot, my hand hurts."
"Princess, you..."
Roth subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to help her treat the wound, but when his outstretched hand was about to touch Mo Lian's fingertips, he abruptly retracted it.
"Princess, please wait a moment. I will call a wizard to heal you."
He regained his expressionless face and turned away.
Mo Lian didn't know whether this attempt was successful or not.
"In two days, the prince of the neighboring country will arrive in the royal city. Tonight, we must find the dark knight no matter what!"
Mo Lian sat on the chair bored.
Not long after, a petite white-bearded wizard was lifted up by the collar and placed in front of her by Roth.
"Rot, you bastard."
"I have my own legs. I don't need you to lift me up like an object!"
The white-bearded wizard was indignant.
Roth pulled out a slender sword from the scabbard with a clang, put it against his neck, and said coldly: "The princess is injured, treat her quickly."
"Heal it if you want, but move the sword away first."
The tip of the sword left his neck, the wizard jumped onto the chair, looked at Mo Lian's hand, his eyes wide open.
"How did Her Royal Highness get so badly injured?"
When Roth heard this, his eyes darkened.
But the wizard said, "Fortunately, Knight Roth found me very quickly, otherwise the princess's wound would have healed."
Roth froze in place.
Mo Lian glanced at him and saw him standing there awkwardly, and burst out laughing.
She smiled, and the old wizard who was bandaging the wound was stunned.
"Princess Mo Lian's beauty is so great that even the most beautiful flower in the world cannot even compare to one ten-thousandth of her."
"No wonder the prince from the neighboring country came all the way here to ask for your hand in marriage."
When the prince was mentioned, the air pressure seemed to stagnate.
Mo Lian observed Roth calmly and tried again, intending to use the prince to provoke him.
"Hey~"
"Why are you sighing, princess?" The wizard tied a beautiful little butterfly on her hand.
Mo Lian pretended to be sad, "I have never seen that prince, and I don't know what he looks like."
"I don't know if she's ugly, beautiful, fat or thin, or how old she is."
"I don't want to marry a stranger."
"and..."
"I have someone I like."
After he finished speaking, the two people in front of him were shocked and asked in unison: "Who does the princess like?"
Mo Lian raised a bright smile at the corner of her lips, lifted her skirt and walked to the edge of the rooftop, her clear and pleasant voice revealing sweetness.
"He is like a star in the sky, shining brightly on my roof every night."
"He will protect me silently."
"He is also very romantic and would secretly leave a bunch of my favorite pink roses outside my palace door."
"I don't know who he is, but I just like him."
"If I marry the prince of a neighboring country, he will have status and be liked by a group of princesses and young ladies. Then he will definitely not only treat me well."
"When the time comes, I will be alone in someone else's kingdom, like a flower in winter, withering, dying, and being buried mercilessly by the snow."
Her faint voice was full of sadness, which made Roth tighten his grip on the sword.
When the audience in Longguo's live broadcast room saw Roth's forbearing look, they instantly became excited, and the barrage of comments dominated the screen in the blink of an eye.
[Look, Her Royal Highness's knight is going crazy. I bet he can't hold on tonight. He will definitely climb over the wall to confess to Miss Mo Lian and then elope with her.]
[Miss Mo Lian's harem has a new loyal dog knight, my old top's charm is unparalleled]
[It doesn't matter, we can live a good life together, which is better than anything else]
The live broadcast comments are becoming increasingly outrageous.
Xuan Lingzi, who was in the Weird Management Committee, was watching with great interest.
"I'm going to post something on Tieba. What should I do if my little disciple is too popular?"
Gu Changsheng, who had just turned off the barrage, glanced at him indifferently and said, "Friend Xuan, your little disciple has not yet decided to take you as his master."
Xuan Lingzi felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife, and said angrily: "What kind of world is this?"
"In the past, when I wanted to become a disciple, I had to go through many trials and tribulations to stand out. Now, when I accept a disciple, he ignores me!"
