Chapter 238
"You're no exception either?" Ling Wu's dress was covered in blood, but her face remained beautiful and clean.
It is a kind of beauty that you can't find anywhere in real life, even if you search the whole world.
Feng Jing endured the pain from the knife wound in his chest, his azure eyes fixed on Ling Wu's eyes.
"Um."
"Me too."
——
The exquisite carriage moved slowly down the street, with the royal guards clearing a path for it, and the natives on both sides of the street kneeling in worship.
Some players who roam at night hide in the shadows and do not kneel, while others are forced to kneel in public along with the natives.
In the past, it has become extremely rare for people to stand openly in front of others while playing games.
These fearless players ultimately met their end by being killed by the royal city guards with their swords!
"Those who disrespect His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess will be rejected by the gods!" shouted the guards of the royal city, swords in hand.
The indigenous people, their faces filled with fervor, shouted, "Those who disrespect us will be sacrificed to the gods!"
Upon seeing this, even the players who were originally standing upright began to kneel down.
The reason why immersive games blur the lines between reality and illusion is because the impact of death is so realistic.
The higher-level players hiding in the shadows all had complex expressions in their eyes when they touched the exquisite carriage.
"How come... there are Western dragons? And they even use them like horses to pull carts?"
"What kind of instance is this? It's one thing to combine Chinese and Western elements, but now they've come up with this kind of magical stuff?"
"It's normal for ordinary people not to know. Haven't you seen that even the top players on the leaderboard haven't completed the first side quest yet?"
"Hiss, I don't think I heard the system announcement!"
"Who cares about the mission now! Is there anyone brave enough to use a prop to lift the princess's carriage curtain?"
Sitting in the exquisite carriage, Ling Wu rested her hands on her chest, her eyes slightly lowered as she gazed ahead.
You can't see inside this car from the outside.
But from inside, you can see everything outside.
Lingwu's gaze lingered on the players on the street, whose expressions were not crazed.
Looking around, I found that there weren't many players wearing metal roses.
Presumably, they were worried about it being taken away, so they put it directly into the storage space in the game.
I wonder how much effort the Queen put into obtaining that metal rose.
“As long as Awu wants it, even things that don’t exist, even those you see in ancient books, will be born according to your thoughts.” Feng Jing looked at the Western dragon on the front of the car.
As the Western dragon exhaled, sparks flew.
"It's too fake," Ling Wu said softly.
Feng Jing's previously joyful expression froze, then turned tinged with a hint of melancholy.
"What's so fake? Is it this dragon?" Feng Jing clung to a sliver of hope.
“This world…” Ling Wu turned her head to meet his gaze, “This world is too fake.”
Feng Jing already knew that Ling Wu had regained consciousness. He wanted to say something, but when he noticed that an item had appeared next to Ling Wu, his eyes narrowed!
The carriage curtains fluttered gently in the wind, then billowed high.
He twitched his fingertips slightly, but Ling Wu stopped him.
"Awu, why are you stopping me?"
Ling Wu sat high on the carriage, her eyes lowered as she looked at the people who were clearly players, and a smile played on her lips.
When the carriage curtain was lifted, they saw the princess who was despised as ugly and cruel.
The girl's long, raven-feather hair cascaded down her back, her lips slightly upturned. She gazed at them with her eyes lowered, looking as beautiful and gentle as a goddess.
The wind chimes on the exquisite carriage jingled, as if they were her divine messengers clearing the way for her.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the carriage curtain slowly fell again.
"I can do whatever I want," said my elder brother.
She lowered her eyes, her slender, jade-like index finger touching the metal rose on her cuff.
Feng Jing pursed his lips, then said with a helpless yet indulgent tone, "Yes, but I'm afraid that what those people do afterward will displease you."
“Brother Wang is the one I dislike the most.” Ling Wu slowly withdrew her fingertips from the rose.
She didn't look at Feng Jing's pale face, nor did she want to.
The person who can truly make decisions on both sides is not this Landric.
A player had just logged in in the middle of the street when a Western dragon behind him, with its enormous feet, was kicking him towards the enemy.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way! There's a dragon behind us!" someone exclaimed!
"..."
Amidst the commotion, the player finally turned around, somewhat bewildered.
He was startled awake when he saw the dragon's eyes, which were as large as a giant creature!
But it was too late!
The dragon's breath, spewed by the western dragon, enveloped his entire body...
"Do not harm anyone." The girl's voice rang out from inside the carriage, soft but inexplicably reaching the ears of everyone present.
Seeing that the player did not move, the piety that had been in the dragon's huge eyes towards Ling Wu turned into mockery of the player.
"Whoosh—" It breathed a breath of dragon fire at the player, blowing him to the side of the road.
He then strode off, walking steadily yet confidently toward the castle.
The players, relieved that it was a false alarm, and the increasingly frenzied natives watched as the exquisite carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.
Above the player world channel:
—In that video secretly filmed by a player, I only saw her beauty, just as described in the quest storyline, and a voice as gentle as a spring breeze. But now, seeing this scene in person, I realize that the last line of the quest storyline, "Every word and action seemed like a divine descent," is the truly perfect match!
—I hereby declare that from this day forward I have also joined the ranks of her die-hard fans!
—The moment the curtain was lifted, I suddenly understood the kind of love at first sight described in novels; it truly struck right to the soul!
—Buying castle guard identity cards at high prices!
—I'll buy it for twice the price upstairs!
—An astronomical acquisition offer!!!
Back in the castle, Wen Xing had already noticed Ling Wu's departure late at night amidst the frenzy of a group of players on the world channel.
As soon as Ling Wu got out of the car, she saw the arrogant young man kneeling on the ground, offering a long sword with both hands.
An NPC called him "Lord Wenxing" from behind, but he ignored it.
Only after seeing Ling Wu did he raise his eyes, his face showing the resolute determination of someone facing death: "I have failed in my duty as a knight, please kill me, Your Highness." He was determined to take a gamble.
Ling Wu glanced at the long sword in his hand, her eyes sparkling, but she didn't reach out. Instead, she turned her head to look at Landric.
Confused, Feng Jing softly called out, "A-Wu?"
Lingwu parted her red lips slightly, her voice soft and gentle, yet strangely pleading: "Awu thinks Wenxing is very good, so let him stay. Awu, don't leave this castle anymore..."
Ling Wu lowered her head and met Wen Xing's gaze. The slight disappointment in the girl's eyes struck Wen Xing's heart directly.
His Highness was actually willing to give up the outside world he had always longed for in order to keep him here.
Where Wen Xing couldn't see, countless daggers were piercing his body!
Even Landric stared at Wen Xing with cold eyes.
But Wen Xing was completely unaware that he was just breathing a little faster, and then lowered his head with his ears turning slightly red.
Feng Jing withdrew his cold gaze, which turned into one of doting affection, but his voice remained indifferent: "If you like it, then stay."
Since she wanted to play with these people who approached her with ulterior motives, he was willing to be her tool.
Ling Wu personally helped Wen Xing up, and even gave him a gentle smile.
Wen Xing walked with an air of nonchalance, enduring countless glares.
Only when they were alone did Wen Xing call out, "Your Highness..."
