Chapter 288
Yun Mian was stopped by the system from fighting the toad. She could only watch the "Frog Prince" rest for a while under the shade of the tree, then jump to the well with his short and stubby hind legs, stretching most of his body to observe his current appearance reflected on the water.
"Evil wizard, when I become a human again, I will capture him, tie him to a high gallows, and burn his evil soul into stinking ashes with the fiercest flames!!"
The toad looked at his ugly reflection in the water, his resentment difficult to conceal and his words were full of hatred.
Yunmian jumped on the branch, a little worried that Princess Yuyu would be scared by the ugly toad that suddenly appeared from the well.
But there was no movement in the well.
So the little bird simply busied itself pecking at various branches, vines, leaves and grass stems, and spent most of the day building a small bird's nest for itself on the tree where it could curl up and live.
Although it is wobbly and looks like it will fall down at any time, and although it is not a truly sturdy and beautiful bird's nest, Yun Mianmian, who is building a nest for herself for the first time, is already very satisfied.
Not only that, she was also willing to curl up in her little nest again and again, and then give up a small half to share with Uncle System.
system:"……"
For some reason I had the illusion that I was a giant bird egg.
On the third day, the little bird Mian saw the three daughters of the king in the story while flying in the palace.
Just like what is described in fairy tales, the three princesses are all very beautiful, with skin as white as snow and delicate makeup. They gather together and talk about their upcoming marriages.
Although they were not very old, they had indeed reached the legal age for marriage in this society and kingdom.
Young and admiring, the three princesses each whispered their fantasies and requirements for their other half.
Yun Mian stopped on a branch not far away. Her outstanding hearing allowed her to hear every word the princesses said.
The eldest princess said: "My future lover will definitely have an outstanding and handsome appearance, and he will definitely be a gentleman and a polite nobleman."
The second princess said, "Sister, I am different from you. My lover must be a prince. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding he is, I am not willing to suffer poverty with him."
After listening to her sisters' talk, the little princess spread out her beautiful feather fan and gently fanned her delicate and beautiful face, which was as soft as rose petals. Then she raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "My future lover will definitely be better than yours. He will be more handsome than your husband and more noble than the prince. Maybe he will be a warrior who can kill a dragon, or maybe he will be a paladin who is willing to kneel down and protect me forever."
After hearing this, the older sisters all found it funny at their little sister's naive fantasy.
The princess smiled and shook her head and said, "Little Anna, a warrior only musters the courage to fight a dragon because of poverty, and a paladin has to kneel before the prince. Poverty and lowliness are their true appearance."
The second princess also smiled and comforted her sister who looked unhappy: "Little Anna, you are the most beautiful among the three of us sisters. In the future, dad will definitely choose a prince with the most outstanding appearance and noble status to match you."
The little Princess Anna did not feel happy. She put down the specially made small golden spoon in her hand, and the golden spoon and the golden bowl made a not crisp sound when they collided.
"My dear sisters, poverty and low status are indeed terrible, but is a prince better than them?"
The youngest princess raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Just like our elder brothers, as princes, are they particularly outstanding and excellent?"
"A warrior at least has enough courage to fight a terrible dragon, and a paladin will at least offer me his absolute loyalty and precious knees, but what can a prince bring to me? The wealth of an entire kingdom? No, that is not something he was born with, nor does it belong to him completely. He is just like me, a little stronger than me, and has become a prince high above me."
Perhaps because she was the youngest, she spoke the most innocently and without scruples. She scornfully laughed at the incompetence and cowardice of her brothers and sisters who were also princes, and laughed at their ridiculous and clumsy fights. Finally, she said to her two sisters who were equally confused: "I hate princes, no matter whether they are handsome or ugly, noble or humble, just as I hate myself who is so incompetent."
"Little Anna, you are really... too stupid." The sisters finally came to this conclusion.
My sister was too young and too naive to understand how important power, status and wealth were to them.
The three sisters' chat ended unhappily. After the sisters left, little Anna immediately dropped her previous elegant and noble appearance, pouted her lips and said in a low voice: "I just hate princes. Haven't the sisters heard of the fairy tales sung by the bards who traveled near the Silver Moon Forest?"
The little bird that was flapping its wings and preparing to fly away lost its grip on the branch. After the little princess muttered this, it and the system uncle, who was also losing his balance, fell down from the branch in a panic.
He fell to the ground, feeling dizzy and dazed, with colorful little stars circling in front of his eyes.
The next second, she heard the little princess' surprised voice: "Look what I saw, a stupid little bird that's even dumber than me!"
Yunmian: “…”
system:"……"
At this moment, One Bird and One Ball finally understood how the little princess in the story offended the frog prince.
"An ugly frog"
"A stupid little bird that's dumber than me"
Yun Mian flapped her wings and tried to fly, then pecked the culprit little princess fiercely. The result was just like when she caught the big white goose that day. At this moment, her wings of fate were also strangled by the little princess, and even flapping her wings became meaningless.
Mom, I'm sorry, I brought shame to our elf race QAQ.
The stupid little bird Yun Mianmian was locked in a beautiful golden cage.
She tilted her head listlessly and looked with her small eyes at the little princess who was teasing her with a few grains of rice. She also glared at the light ball system that also fell down but did not enter the cage with her.
Uncle System is never allowed to squat on my head again!
I was angry, holding a grudge, and secretly planned to never give it half of the bird's nest next time.
However, before taking revenge, Xiao Niaomian regained her spirits after a brief period of frustration and tried to deal with the energetic little princess.
She didn't have to worry about being trapped in the birdcage and never being able to get out. Although it was a pity that she didn't have time to turn the frog prince into a caterpillar, she could turn herself into a small thing and slip out through the gap in the birdcage.
The reason why she stayed in the birdcage and did not leave was definitely not because the little princess gave her the birdcage, bird nest and bird toys made of gold, but because she planned to take advantage of the little princess and stay with her until she went to the well and met the prince.
The mother tree testified that she did not intentionally disrupt the plot. It was the little princess who caught her while calling her a stupid bird!
The little bird Mian, who was forced to integrate into the plot, enjoyed the glittering and noble treatment for a few days with peace of mind.
When the little princess found that the bird did not fly away after leaving the cage, she even had someone make a small golden cup and plate for her. She allowed the little stupid bird to sit at the table and eat with her, and she even took out her favorite little golden ball to play with it.
Yunmian easily got everything that the frog prince in the story had to rely on threats to get.
The system was silent.
"Little silly bird, today we are going to listen to the latest fairy tale sung by the bards. Do you want to listen? There are several more before that. After you finish listening to the new story, I will let them sing the previous ones for you."
Princess Anna put the bird she picked up on her shoulder and chatted with her while quickening her pace to meet the bard who was responsible for telling her stories.
Yunmian: Here it comes! The culprit who caused me to fall from the branch!!
After discovering that the little bird on her shoulder also perked up in an instant, Princess Anna smiled even more happily, and liked this particularly smart yet a little stupid little bird even more.
As she quickened her pace, the system looked at the task progress bar that was constantly advancing at a speed of 0.1%, and a slight sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.
I always feel like something is out of my and the host's control...
This uneasiness finally reached its peak when the princess asked the bard to start telling the story.
The reason is simple, it's just that this story... is too familiar, so familiar that it makes the system want to cry.
The little bird Mian, who had been standing on the princess' shoulder, began to close his eyes guiltily little by little after the story began, and wished he could hide his head under his wings like a real bird.
On the contrary, the little princess looked more and more serious the more she listened. At the end, she even stood up and said angrily, "Damn it! Shut up!!"
The bard retreated in fear.
Anna stood in the empty room, her head lowered in thought with an unreadable expression, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Yun Mian tilted her head and gently pecked the hair beside her ear.
Anna raised her head, stroked her silky wings soothingly, then walked out quickly, calling the palace servants and giving a long list of orders as she walked.
"Hide my golden ball in the highest attic."
"Smelt down all my little gold cups, bowls, and spoons and replace them with silver ones."
"Take out all the beds in my palace and burn them. Don't leave even a single down feather in the quilt behind!"
"Finally, seal all the wells in the palace and throw all the noisy and disgusting frogs that stay by the wells far out of the palace!!!"
After giving these orders in one breath, Anna's hurried footsteps finally stopped.
She stood in the warm sunshine and took a deep breath. Only then did she realize that her delicate and fair skin was covered with goose bumps.
The nausea and fear in her heart left her with almost no time to think, but now standing in the sunshine, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
“It’s not necessarily me in the story.”
Her voice trembled slightly, which was completely unable to convince her uneasy heart. There was mist in her bright and clear eyes, but she wiped it away fiercely.
She couldn't even imagine how horrible it would be if everything in the story happened to her.
A disgusting, ugly, fat frog.
A lying self who compromised for the Golden Ball.
There is also a king father who lets the frog eat and sleep with him for the sake of honesty...
Are they selling their disgusting, despicable and ugly souls to the devil?
How else could someone do such a disgusting thing?
Oh my god... a frog... a fat, ugly frog that takes advantage of others!
So what if he becomes a prince in the end?
The moment the handsome prince and the ugly frog were equated, Anna wanted to pierce his heart with her sword herself!!
Anna touched her beating heart and recalled all the details of the story again and again. Even though she was standing in the warm sunshine, she was so cold that she couldn't help shaking.
Just a lie.
She never imagined that the cost of a lie could be so great.
It was obvious that over the years, she had told lies, big and small, and her father, as a king, would always smile and condone them, and never let her learn to be honest and trustworthy.
But the king in the story...
Anna covered her heart and gasped heavily. She no longer wanted to think about whether she was the unlucky and poor princess in the story, nor did she want to think about whether the king in the story was her father. She now just wanted to hide her favorite golden ball in the highest attic and destroy all the gold ornaments and bedding mentioned in the story that had been shared with the frog!
She absolutely, absolutely did not want to be the princess in the story who ended up with a frog!
"Help me pack my things. I'm leaving here." She called her closest maid, held her hand tightly, and whispered, "Don't let anyone know. After I leave, if my father asks, tell him that his youngest daughter had an affair with a beggar and is pregnant."
"This will be the last lie I tell in my life." She looked deeply at the maid, with a determination in her eyes that she could hardly imagine: "Help me, all the gold and silver I didn't take away will belong to you from now on."
Yun Mian watched the maid hurriedly leave, tilted her head and rubbed the little princess's delicate cheek.
Anna held her in her palm, leaned in and kissed the top of her head, then reached out and lifted her up into the air.
"Poor little bird, I am no longer a noble princess. Please leave here quickly. I hope you will not be so stupid as to fall off the branches again, and I hope you will not be locked up in a beautiful golden cage again."
In her sad eyes, Yun Mian looked back at her, flapped his wings the next second, and quickly flew out of her sight.
I don’t know if it’s too late to find Princess Yuyu now. I hope the guards haven’t sealed all the wells so quickly!!
It's shameful to escape, but it works!
I tried my best to update more today, please wait for my condition to recover slowly!
Actually, this series of Small World is about to end. What do you want to see in the next Small World? Except for cultivation of immortals.
