Chapter 157 Sleeping Beauty
Chapter 157 Sleeping Beauty
[Ding dong, congratulations to player Yu Hansheng for triggering Sleeping Beauty.]
[System notification: Please wake the sleeping princess on time, within 30 minutes.]
Good luck to all players!
The surrounding street scene began to change, and Yu Hansheng stepped into another layer of dream.
At this moment, he was standing in the palace.
Everything was still.
The horses in the stable, the dogs in the yard, the pigeons on the roof, and the flies on the wall all fell asleep along with Sleeping Beauty.
Everything stopped moving; everything had fallen into a deep sleep.
Yu Hansheng looked up.
Rose hedges grew around the palace, and they grew taller and taller until they completely covered the entire palace.
From the outside, it's unlikely that you can see any resemblance to the original palace.
In this stillness, the only thing moving is these vines.
Because the rose vines began to swim towards Yu Hansheng.
Yu Hansheng dodged the vines' attacks, but the vines still managed to find an opening.
More rose vines grew, tightly binding Yu Hansheng, and sharp thorns were present on them.
Before long, Yu Hansheng's clothes were punctured, leaving bloody marks on his body.
His eyes flickered slightly, and a boning knife appeared in his hand without him even noticing.
With a few quick movements, Yu Hansheng severed the tough vines and temporarily gained his freedom.
However, more and more rose vines invaded, making it difficult for him to move.
These vines were trying to stop him, but Yu Hansheng didn't have time to waste on them.
Yu Hansheng decided to go all out and simply burn all the vines.
The fire spread quickly, and the rose vines, fearing they would be burned to ashes, had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.
Having solved the problem of the vines, Yu Hansheng continued his search deeper into the palace.
Everything was eerily quiet.
Yu Hansheng walked into the hall and saw the king and queen sleeping soundly on the throne, while the others were lying haphazardly on the floor.
All around was quiet, with only the echo of my own footsteps.
Finally, Yu Hansheng groped his way to the clock tower, went up the stairs, opened the small door, and immediately saw the princess lying on a bed inside.
She was still as beautiful and charming as ever, her cherry lips slightly pursed, as if waiting for someone to pluck her.
Yu Hansheng stared at her intently, as if some unknown force was tempting him, urging him to quickly kiss the princess before him.
Despite the slight impact on his consciousness, he remained steadfastly in place.
Yu Hansheng definitely couldn't kiss him; he had to find someone to take his place.
He planned to go back and discuss it with the vines.
Sleeping Beauty's seaweed-like hair tangled around Yu Hansheng's legs, rendering him unable to move.
Yu Hansheng twitched his lips, his voice devoid of warmth.
“Princess, please have some self-respect. I am not your destined prince.”
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry."
The hair obediently went back into place, and Yu Hansheng left directly.
I came to the rose vines once more.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being burned, the vines did not attack Yu Hansheng this time.
"Could you find a prince to come over?"
Yu Hansheng seemed to be negotiating with the vines, but his calm tone carried an unyielding sense of pressure.
The rose vine isn't stupid; it has no choice but to accept it.
So it readily became Yu Hansheng's lackey.
Before long, the rose vines kidnapped many princes.
There was fear, but also composure.
Yu Hansheng reluctantly chose a prince who was more pleasing to the eye.
"You'll do it. Go and awaken the princess."
"The remaining princes can be released."
The rose vines were incredibly docile in front of Yu Hansheng, showing none of the terror they displayed when they kidnapped the princes.
They stared in disbelief, then were flung away by the rose vines, flying a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
The prince who was left behind looked completely bewildered.
Pointing to himself, he asked incredulously.
"me?"
"Well, you have no choice."
"This matter will only benefit you and will not harm you."
Throughout, Yu Hansheng's tone and expression remained calm and composed.
The prince could only follow closely behind him.
Upon arriving at the room, the princess was fast asleep.
The prince was immediately captivated by Sleeping Beauty as soon as he entered.
He stared wide-eyed, not even daring to blink, and as he gazed at her, he couldn't resist bending down and kissing her.
With that kiss, the princess instantly awoke.
She opened her eyes, a sweet smile on her face, and gazed at him with deep affection.
Yu Hansheng leisurely observed their expressions, her eyebrows twitching slightly.
The palace slowly came back to life after the princess awoke.
The princess and prince then naturally held a grand wedding.
Yu Hansheng was not interested in these old-fashioned and melodramatic plots.
After the system notified him that the mission was successful, he left the dream world.
He got the ticket to Paradise Lost, but unfortunately it wasn't stamped yet.
After crying for a while, I got used to it.
Humans are such despicable creatures; they get used to everything.
Chi Miaomiao looked at her past memories and thought to herself.
The system voice sounded, pulling Chi Miaomiao back to reality.
[System notification: Player Chi Miaomiao has successfully triggered Bluebeard]
Player Chi Miaomiao must survive under Bluebeard's control for a certain period of time, limited to thirty minutes.
[May Lady Luck always smile upon you; success in the mission will take you to Paradise Lost.]
Once upon a time, there was a man who had many beautiful houses, as well as all kinds of gold and silver tableware, carved furniture, and gilded carriages.
Unfortunately, this man had a tuft of blue beard.
His beard made him look so ugly and terrifying that all the women and girls avoided him.
He lived next door to a noble and beautiful woman who had a very pretty daughter and three sons. He gave many gifts to the lady next door and married her daughter.
A month later, Bluebeard told his wife that he had to go out of town for an important business trip that would take at least six weeks.
While he was away, he told her to have as much fun as she wanted.
She can invite her close friends over to her home, and if she feels like it, she can even go to the countryside with them.
She could treat them well no matter where they were.
"These are the keys to the two large storage rooms."
He spoke to his wife, unaware that the woman inside had been replaced by Chi Miaomiao.
"You can open all the rooms and go anywhere, but I forbid you from entering that small room."
"If you open it, all you'll get is my anger."
Chi Miaomiao nodded in agreement and did everything exactly as he instructed.
After Bluebeard set off.
Following the original story, Chi Miaomiao opened the room and saw countless exquisite carpets, beds, sofas, tables, and large mirrors that reflected her from head to toe.
In the original story, Bluebeard's wife opened the door to the cabin out of curiosity.
Once ordinary people know the consequences of opening the door, they naturally won't repeat the same mistake, but Chi Miaomiao still chose to open the door.
Inside the cabin.
Chi Miaomiao looked at the scene before her with indifferent eyes.
The floor was covered in bloodstains, and the bloodstains reflected the images of several female corpses hanging on the wall: they were all Bluebeard's ex-wives, murdered one by one by Bluebeard.
Chi Miaomiao wasn't afraid at all.
With a flick of her finger, the small key she had just pulled from the lock was deliberately dropped to the ground by Chi Miaomiao, and stained with blood.
Chi Miaomiao didn't wipe away the bloodstains, because no matter how much she wiped, they would never be completely clean.
If nothing unexpected happens, Bluebeard will return that evening and ask her for the key.
After Bluebeard arrived home.
Chi Miaomiao handed him the key without thinking. Bluebeard wasn't blind and immediately noticed the bloodstains on the key.
Bluebeard was furious and roared so fiercely that the whole house shook.
Unlike the pitiful wife in the original story, who wept bitterly and knelt before Bluebeard's feet, begging him in a low voice, Chi Miaomiao did not do so.
Seeing that his wife remained unmoved, Bluebeard couldn't help but say, "Go to hell!"
Then, he grabbed Chi Miaomiao's hair with one hand and brandished a large knife with the other, preparing to cut off her head.
