Chapter 65 Swan Castle (Midnight)

My goodness, the aura of the Great Demon King when he has a cold face is no joke!

"Are you not going to read it already? I'm still waiting for the little witch to choose me!"

[The female guest's reaction to the comment praising her was so cute! I was racking my brains for something interesting to see her read and see how she would react, and then it was over?!]

I knew she didn't like reading comments, but I never expected her first time reading them to be like this... I don't know what else to say besides that she's unconventional...

[What?! How could my sprite disappear in the blink of an eye?!]

[Many people noticed that the werewolf and the elf's initial behavior was abnormal. The Demon King also said that the elf "sneaked into someone else's house to cause trouble." After the Demon King told the elf to "go back to where you belong," the elf disappeared. So, the two male guests currently seen in the live stream must have used abnormal means to sneak in beforehand, right?!]

[That makes sense; no wonder there hasn't been a second perspective from the live stream besides the female guest.]

[Is the elf really that obedient? Or was it forcibly sent away by the female guest?]

Yu Naixin did not take any forceful action against the Elf Prince.

Because she currently has no means to force the Elf Prince to do anything.

The other party was still in a phantom state, not even fully solidified, making it quite troublesome for Yu Naixin to do anything to him.

Fortunately, after being tortured by Yu Naixin for so long, the Elf Prince was also a pragmatic person. He knew that there was no need or meaning in continuing to waste time with Yu Naixin at the top of the tower. He obediently followed Yu Naixin's orders, dispersed the little spiritual power he had left, and used his phantom form to ignore all architectural obstacles and head to the banquet hall on the first floor.

Yu Naixin finally found the Elf Prince a little more pleasing to the eye.

She likes people who are obedient.

It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon at Neuschwanstein Castle.

Although the situation was different from the two simulations, the Elf Prince still officially entered the instance as a guest at this point in time.

Yu Naixin sensed that the ghost wizard and the werewolf knight were also at least an hour earlier than planned and had taken their seats in the VIP section of the banquet hall.

At this point, all four male guests had arrived.

Yu Naixin reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, preventing it from getting messy in the night breeze.

It's time for her, the only female guest, to make her appearance.

**********

The first floor of the central round tower.

Inside the magnificent banquet hall, all the exquisite and luxurious decorations had been completed, and the servants no longer bustled about, but instead tried to keep quiet.

Because the VIP seats were already full.

The NPCs diligently avoided disturbing the four guests in the instance, minimizing their presence to almost zero.

On their faces, there was also fear and apprehension towards the four male guests.

Even the old butler, Devman, was somewhat uneasy, fearing that these distinguished guests might suddenly do something.

Even though there were still three hours before the banquet officially began, all the NPCs couldn't help but pray that Her Highness the Princess would arrive soon.

They knew that only Her Highness the Princess could possibly stand up to these menacing visitors outside the Swan Castle.

Three minutes later, Yu Naixin finally appeared at the main entrance leading from the second floor to the first floor of the central round tower.

Behind her, two rows of eighteen uniformly dressed maids followed closely behind their princess with respectful steps.

The scale and presentation were truly grand.

Yu Naixin just went to the princess's residence on the fourth floor and asked Rosluna, who was still there, to make arrangements to call over all the maids who were not busy in the banquet hall.

Besides the werewolf knight and the elf prince, Yu Naixin has two other male guests she hasn't officially met yet.

She planned to overwhelm the other party with her presence from the very first impression, to make the ghost wizard more wary, and to prevent the vampire duke from spouting nonsense at her as he did during the simulation.

As it turns out, Yu Naixin's little trick was quite useful.

The most obvious example is the Vampire Duke. After seeing Yu Naixin's grand entrance, his previously arrogant expression turned quite gloomy.

Judging from Yu Naixin's interactions with the Vampire Duke in the two simulations, it is clear that he is a rather arrogant and conceited guest who cares a lot about his reputation.

He is the most capable of the four male guests, so it's understandable that he looks down on the others.

But now, Yu Naixin, a guest on the show whose background he has no idea about, has attracted all the attention as soon as she appeared and overshadowed him. Of course, the Vampire Duke is not happy about this.

The Vampire Duke was not a mindless brute; otherwise, he would not have been able to win most of the battles against the Elf Prince by force alone.

Being high-profile often means having enough capital, something he was well aware of.

The guests on the show "Mutation and Fusion" are not fools who only know how to show off; Yu Naixin must have something to rely on.

These things were enough to make the Vampire Duke, while unhappy, more or less wary of Yu Naixin.

This will allow them to remain relatively well-behaved and not cause any more trouble in front of Yu Naixin.

The entire banquet hall became even quieter with Yu Naixin's arrival.

Yu Naixin was very satisfied with the result.

She didn't even glance at the VIP section, and walked straight to the highest point of the banquet hall, to the throne belonging to the owner of Swan Castle.

The dazzling princess, dressed in a snow-white gown and wearing a silver crown, ascended several steps and sat on the throne made of gold and rubies.

Yu Naixin's posture and expression were extremely natural and composed, as if she was meant to sit there.

Only then did she turn her gaze to the VIP section.

"Welcome to my castle, esteemed guests." Yu Naixin wore an impeccable smile. "I look forward to your performance."

[Holy crap! I'm seriously questioning what the Demon King's identity was on Earth before. How could he be so handsome?!]

[She's clearly a newbie who needs to survive alone among four incredibly capable male guests, so why does she act like their boss?!]

[Even bosses don't act like this! I feel like the female guest completely sees herself as the male guest's mistress! Her domineering and controlling aura is incredibly strong!]

The four male guests' reactions to Yu Naixin's speech were, to some extent, quite similar.

The Elf Prince trembled slightly involuntarily, as if recalling the scene of Yu Naixin tearing open his wounds on the top of the tower. His expression was still very unpleasant.

The ghost wizard's expression was completely hidden by the hood of his cloak, but one could tell from the tightness of his jawline that he was somewhat nervous.

Just who is this female guest?!

The vampire duke frowned, partly displeased with Yu Naixin's domineering attitude, and partly uncertain, so he did not act rashly.

The werewolf knight stared at Yu Naixin in a daze once again.

The gentle and lovely fairy who danced with her actually had this side to her?!

This is... so incredibly tempting!

The werewolf knight involuntarily began to wag his tail and even tried to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to release the surging heat within him.

For werewolf knights who excel in combat, admiration for strength is ingrained in their very bones.

Yu Naixin can be both gentle and tender, and fierce and icy, which really surprised the werewolf knight.

He wants to kneel down at Yu Naixin's feet right now and swear allegiance to her!

It wasn't a preliminary step to meet the hunting conditions, but a genuine act of sincerity.

The distance between the VIP seats and the throne is not far, only about ten meters.

After all, this banquet was for the purpose of choosing a suitable husband for the princess, and it would be inconvenient for the man and woman to do anything if they were too far apart.

Noticing that the werewolf knight was trying to pounce on her feet like a dog, Yu Naixin gave him a look.

Then, Yu Naixin put her right index finger to her lips, slightly curved her eyebrows, and gently shushed.

“Didn’t we agree?” Yu Naixin winked playfully with her right eye, her voice as sweet as when she was teaching the werewolf knight to dance, “We won’t reveal our secret to anyone else, okay?”

They had to keep their previous meetings a secret from the other three male guests.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! That little witch's wink! I felt like I was electrocuted, it's so alluring!]

[Nobody told me this female guest was a real witch? She can make your heart flutter with just a casual gesture!]

[Aaaaaaaah, how is she so good at this?!]

[Hey guys, don't just look at the surface! The Big Boss's move was really meaningful! She not only calmed the werewolf down, but also directly told the other three male guests that she and the werewolf already had a secret, making the other three male guests subconsciously wary of the werewolf as a competitor!]

[Yes, yes, this way the other three male guests will more or less isolate the werewolf, indirectly forcing the werewolf to rely solely on the "Big Boss," preventing the male guest with the highest current favorability from turning against them halfway through, thus binding the werewolf even more firmly to their side!]

[…There's nothing more to say, your Great Demon King is awesome, awesome in every sense of the word!]

Yu Naixin is quite experienced in keeping dogs calm and collected in her presence, preventing them from acting recklessly.

This also applies to werewolf knights.

In an instant, the werewolf knight was completely captivated by Yu Naixin's ambiguous and gentle words. He nodded repeatedly and strictly followed Yu Naixin's request, sitting obediently in his seat.

However, his eyes remained glued to Yu Naixin, unwilling to look away no matter what.

The werewolf knight's actions further confirmed in the eyes of the three male guests that he and Yu Naixin were already in a state of unusual anxiety.

The vampire duke's patience was almost exhausted.

He wasn't exactly a patient person to begin with, and seeing that he was supposed to be the first guest to arrive at the event and theoretically the first to meet Yu Naixin, but instead Yu Naixin had already developed such an intimate understanding with the werewolf knight, a guy he had never taken seriously before, the vampire duke was about to explode.

"Your Highness!" The vampire duke, his face dark, demanded through gritted teeth, "Why—"

The vampire duke didn't have time to finish speaking.

Yu Naixin heard the noise, glanced at him casually, and then smiled.

“I just had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Elf.” Yu Naixin smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking incredibly beautiful. “Mr. Elf told me a lot of interesting things.”

Upon suddenly hearing Yu Naixin call his name, the Elf Prince was startled and looked at Yu Naixin, wondering what this female guest was up to now.

The vampire duke was even angrier.

Not only the werewolf knight, but Yu Naixin has also made contact with his nemesis, the elf prince, before he even got there!

Before the Vampire Duke could react, Yu Naixin continued, "For example, Mr. Vampire, you are the child born to Mr. Elf."
