Looking at Xiao An in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless.
I thought I had found a powerful helper, but I didn't expect him to be so disappointing.
"Forget it, let me do it. You and Eve can go protect the others."
"Eh? But brother... this frog is hard to deal with..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Eve also reminded him uneasily. Because she had fought with a frog before, Eve knew very well that even though this frog looked obscene, it was actually thick-skinned and tough. Even her own blade and Fang Zheng's explosive bombs could not cause any damage to it. It might not be an easy task to deal with it.
"Don't worry."
Hearing Eve's reminder, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"I have a plan."
"way?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Xiao An frowned and stared at Fang Zheng. Although she was not very good at dealing with such sticky things, as a well-known killer in the universe, Xiao An could also sense how difficult the frog was to deal with. However, Fang Zheng actually said that he had a way to deal with it?
“Guwaaa!!”
Right after that, the frog jumped up again and appeared in front of everyone with a proud look on its face.
“It’s no use, it’s no use. I’m a prince! Commoners like you can’t deal with me at all, guhahahaha!! Just give up and kiss me quickly! Then I will marry you!!”
“Hehehe.”
Hearing the frog's words, Fang Zheng sneered, then he took a step forward and stood in front of the frog.
"You'd better give up. With me here, they won't be attracted to you."
“Wha, what!?”
The frog was shocked to hear Fang Zheng's answer.
"you……?"
"Of course, only a man as handsome and talented as me would be liked by girls. Look at you, fat and big-eared, with a silly look on your face. Who would like someone like you?"
Fang Zheng folded his arms and stared at the frog in front of him with a sneer on his face. The frog's face was now pale.
“Guda! I’m not like this! I was made like this! I used to be very handsome…”
"Haha, how dare you say such a thing? Judging from your current appearance, you must have been a fat pig with a fat head and big ears before you turned into a frog. If it were me, even if I turned into a frog, I would become a handsome frog, but you can only become a greasy toad like this."
Staring at the frog, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and revealed a cold smile.
"By the way, after you were turned into a frog, would anyone worry about you? Maybe everyone would feel relieved that the greasy fat guy who always looked at them with lustful eyes finally disappeared. Whether you are a human or a frog, you are a failure. It takes courage for a loser like you to be able to live in this world."
“You…you…Gudawaa ...
Faced with Fang Zheng's ridicule, the frog's expression changed several times, then it yelled, then turned around and ran away crying.
“…”
“…”
"Brother... you may have gone a little too far..."
Even Meigan was sweating as she looked at Fang Zheng, and couldn't help but whisper, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Verbal violence is also a form of violence. Isn't it good to defeat the enemy without fighting?"
"I think he would rather be beaten up by you..."
Anyway, the Frog Prince finally left, and after everyone rested for a while, they moved on again - according to Xiao An, when she was on the high tower, she observed a castle nearby, so everyone decided to target the castle and move on.
Meigan and Eve were very happy about Xiao An's appearance. They sandwiched Xiao An between them, one on each side, and talked to her from time to time. Fang Zheng walked behind with Xirenji Haruna and Kotegawa Yui, staring at the three people in front of them.
"Come to think of it, the two of them really look alike."
As a discipline committee member, Kotegawa Yui had naturally seen Xiao An wandering around the campus more than once. Of course, Fang Zheng also explained to her that Xiao An was Eve's sister, but for Kotegawa Yui, this was the first time she had seen Eve.
"But I feel like the atmosphere between the two people is really completely different."
Compared to Kotegawa Yui, Sairenji Haruna spent more time with Fang Zheng, and therefore got to know Mikan and Eve, so she quickly noticed the differences between the two.
"Miss Xiao An seems to be more mature..."
"She is my sister after all."
Fang Zheng did not find it strange about Sairenji Haruna's feelings. Strictly speaking, Eve was only about a year old, and she was rescued by Fang Zheng shortly after she was actually born. Since then, she has been living with Fang Zheng, Mikan and others. Because Mikan, Hinami and others are all very childish, Eve's behavior is also somewhat childish.
Of course, if you only look at Eve alone, she is usually the type who is taciturn and doesn't get along with others. But if you put Eve and Xiao An together, you can immediately find that Eve is obviously more lively than Xiao An.
Just like now, Eve was obviously trying hard to build a good relationship with Xiao An, so she kept talking to her. Xiao An, on the other hand, didn't know how to deal with this situation, so she remained silent most of the time.
However, Eve and Mikan are not unfamiliar with this situation. After all, at the beginning, Goto Jun, Kaneshiro Sora and Momiji Nozomi were the type who didn't interact with others or talk much in school. But now both sides have become good friends, so even if Xiao An acted a little cold, the two didn't seem to care particularly.
In this way, everyone walked down the mountain road and then came to the castle at the foot of the mountain.
"This is……"
Looking at the castle surrounded by thorns and roses, everyone was speechless.
"Is this Sleeping Beauty...?"
Sairenji Haruna asked in confusion, and Kotegawa Yui nodded.
“It looks a lot like…”
While sighing, Kotegawa Yui came to the gate blocked by thorny roses and couldn't help but sigh.
"But no matter what, this place looks really romantic..."
Looking at the castle in front of her, even the serious and rigid Yui Kotegawa couldn't help but sigh, after all, she also has a girlish heart. For every girl who has read fairy tales when she was a child, whether it is Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella or anything else, it is their dream. Although the world that Lala suddenly created is a bit weird, it more or less satisfies the fairy tale plot deep in their hearts.
Of course... forget about the frog prince. I don’t know if Lala created it based on the principal. It’s simply a typical example of ruining childhood. The beautiful childhood dream is almost turning into a childhood shadow.
Thinking of this, Kotegawa Yui shook her head and put the frog prince who had become a shadow of her childhood behind her. Then she stepped forward again, trying to take a good look at the castle in front of her.
However, just as Kotegawa Yui arrived at the gate, the roses on the gate suddenly turned towards her as if they had sensed something. Then Kotegawa Yui saw eyes appearing in the stamens of the roses, staring at her curiously.
Ding ding, childhood shadow +1! !
“What the heck is this!!!”
Anyone who saw a flower with eyes staring at them would probably scream, and Furukawa Yui was no exception. Her scream immediately caused all the thorny vines on the city wall to explode. The vines stretched out like snakes and grabbed everyone.
“Swish!!”
However, Fang Zheng and the others were not unprepared. The story of Sleeping Beauty was well-known to everyone, and everyone knew that the prince could not get Sleeping Beauty by just walking up and kissing her like a tourist. Seeing the vines showing off their power, Fang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Furukawa Yui and pulled her back, then the greatsword in his hand flashed, and he immediately chopped the vines in front of him into pieces.
"Xiao An, Eve!"
"Okay! Brother!"
"knew!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Xiao An and Eve also hurried forward, and then saw their hair instantly condensed and turned into blades, quickly cutting all the vines in front of them and tearing them into pieces - especially Xiao An, who was leading the charge at this moment. After all, she did nothing when dealing with the frog prince just now, and although Fang Zheng didn't say much at the time, his eyes were obviously a bit speechless.
This also made Xiao An quite angry. After all, I am also a space killer. How dare you look down on me? Well, even if I am not very good at dealing with those sticky things, there is a reason for that!
Now let me show you how awesome I am!!
At this moment, Xiao An also showed his true skills. Not only did his hair turn into several sharp blades, but even his hands turned into swords, and he chopped at the attacking vines, which made Eve next to him stunned. Although she also had the same ability as Xiao An, Eve had less combat experience than Xiao An, and had never seen this kind of fighting style where the whole body turned into weapons. Watching Xiao An's fight, Eve also began to learn silently.
After all, it’s a waste if you don’t learn.
Fang Zheng, Eve and Xiao An were not ordinary people, so it was easy for them to deal with these swinging vines. In just a few minutes, the vines that blocked the gate were swept away by the three of them, and the originally closed iron gate was directly cut in half by Fang Zheng with a sword, and then kicked away.
"Lala should be in the city."
Fang Zheng simply glanced around and quickly made a decision.
"Now we split up into two groups and look for her from the left and right sides... Eve, you and Xiao An go to the high tower over there, and I'll look for her in the royal area in the middle..."
The story of Sleeping Beauty does not clearly state where the princess slept. Although according to the story, the princess slept in the clock tower, that is a story, not reality. Maybe Lala found a big bed to sleep in? Logically speaking, splitting up is a taboo in horror stories, but this is a fairy tale, not a horror story. Besides, it’s been four or five hours since school was over—everyone is waiting to go home for dinner.
If I don't go back, and someone at home gets worried and calls the police or something, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
In the end, the two sides split up into two groups. Eve and Xiao An took Meikan, Kotegawa Yui and Sairenji Haruna to the clock tower, while Fang Zheng went straight into the castle. After all, Eve and Xiao An were very powerful, so it should be no problem for them to protect the three girls. It would be more convenient for Fang Zheng to act alone. After all, Meikan and the other two were all powerless girls, the kind that waited to be rescued by the prince in fairy tales. Following him would not be able to provide any help to Fang Zheng.
"Let me see. I should go this way and then go up to the second floor..."
Fang Zheng kicked open the dusty door and walked into the castle hall. He had seen many Western-style castles, whether they were the gorgeous castles full of literary and artistic flavor in the Western fantasy world or the castles in the real medieval times that were no different from bunkers and towers. Therefore, he was familiar with the structures of these castles. So Fang Zheng quickly found the way and began to move upwards.
But these vines would not let Fang Zheng reach his destination so easily. After all, in the story, the prince had to rely on the witch's help and had to go through great pains to reach Sleeping Beauty's bed and wake her up. Fang Zheng did not have a witch to help him, so he had to rely on himself to deal with these vines.
But he is not completely helpless.
"You are really looking for death."
Looking at the vines rushing towards him from all directions, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, then he summoned Frostmourne and stabbed it hard into the ground - an icy storm instantly whistled up, and in the blink of an eye the entire hall was turned into a large ice cellar, and the vines were instantly frozen solid, no longer moving.
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng nodded and then walked forward.
But what he didn't expect was that just as Fang Zheng was about to walk up the stairs, suddenly, the entire castle began to tremble violently, and then the frozen ceiling shattered instantly. Then, a huge, ferocious flower fell from the sky and pounced towards Fang Zheng!
What the hell is this?
Looking at this strange plant, Fang Zheng was also surprised. His first reaction was that this thing might be the sister of the alien flower that Lala gave him. But after a closer look, Fang Zheng immediately gave up this idea, because the flower in front of him looked quite strange, with strange tentacles all over the corolla, and not only that...
"Um???"
Looking at the two figures dancing around on the flower crown, Fang Zheng was also stunned.
Who is this? I don't know him. Aren't only people I know teleported in?
At this moment, two girls of about thirteen or fourteen were seen struggling amidst the flowers. They looked quite cute and pretty, but Fang Zheng was sure that he did not recognize them.
But from their pink hair and long tails that were the same as Lala's... well, Fang Zheng could more or less guess their identities.
No matter what, let's rescue them first.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched Frostmourne in his hand, pounced towards the alien flower in front of him, and swung his sword!
