Chapter 105 No Wedding at the Royal City Banquet!
Shi Yu's live stream room was buzzing with excitement from the very beginning of the dream sequence—
[Young Yu Yu was so cute and adorable, I'm totally drooling over her!]
I thought they were mortal enemies, but it turns out they're childhood sweethearts!!!
Can I say that Shen Su's gaze was already quite aggressive even in his teenage years? And the way he stared at Yu Yu while she was sleeping... it gave me the creeps!
Yes, it felt like he was about to push Yuyu over any second! But instead, he obediently went to water the flowers! Who understands this feeling?! How could I not fall for him?!
[And what's even more unbelievable is that Yu Yu's most unforgettable moment was actually when Shen Su helped him water the flowers during their teenage years—such an ordinary thing! Is this normal?]
[This is so hard!]
[This is so hard!]
...
Someone timidly asked, "Isn't anyone discussing the plot?" The chat told him to go to Chen Su's livestream room, so he went, and ended up spending all his time there—
Oh dear! You've been dumped.
Oh no! Your wife doesn't want you anymore.
Oh no! Your wife is running off with another man.
"???"
Your fans are weird.
.
Shi Yu returned to the princess's bedchamber and had his maids tidy his appearance. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Your Highness, the float has arrived."
Shi Yu walked out of the palace with the help of a maid.
As evening fell, the sky was ablaze with color, and the wedding procession filled the entire street. The main carriage was a pumpkin-shaped white horse-drawn carriage, adorned with exquisite carvings. It was pulled by four white horses, and the carriage was filled with flowers except for the seats. Even the horses wore flower wreaths on their heads.
Lucis, holding flowers and dressed in a snow-white suit, walked gracefully toward him and extended her right hand.
The roadside was crowded with onlookers, including commoners and other princes who were also participating in the princess's selection of a husband. Shi Yu saw Mo Rugui and Qin Ke among them, but not Shen Su.
Shen Su was tall, and he could be spotted in a crowd at a glance, but Shi Yu scanned the crowd again and still couldn't see Shen Su.
"Princess." The maid beside him whispered a reminder, and Shi Yu realized that he had been ignoring Lucius for quite a while.
Lucius stood very close to him, looking down at him with gentle eyes and a mild smile on his lips. He seemed neither angry at his absent-mindedness nor did he intend to blame him.
The outstretched hand was still in mid-air, with long, slender fingers, distinct knuckles, and a clean, white palm. This hand was undoubtedly beautiful, but what came to Shi Yu's mind was another large hand that was not so good-looking and had rough calluses on its palm.
For some reason, even though it was just a task and a procedure, he was somewhat reluctant to put his hand on it.
"Where are my gloves?" Shi Yu asked the maid in a low voice. The maid quickly apologized, saying it was an oversight, and then handed over a pair of snow-white lace gloves.
Shi Yu put on gloves before placing her hand on Lu Xisi's, and then the two of them got into the carriage together, surrounded by flowers.
Sitting in the carriage, Shi Yu used his mind to open the game panel and then clicked on the [crumpled paper ball]. This was put in by Lin Fengbai. Lin Fengbai could not be summoned in this instance, but it seemed that Lin Fengbai could also obtain some clues here. In the past few days, Lin Fengbai had used this paper ball to convey some information to him.
This time, the message contained only four words—
Don't get married!
The carriage had already started moving, with a long procession following behind. On both sides were crowds of people offering their blessings. Lucius sat beside him very gentlemanly. The carriage was large enough that there was a moderate distance between the two of them. For several seconds, Shi Yu remained motionless, staring blankly into the void ahead.
"Are you nervous?" Lucius turned to look at Shi Yu, his tone reassuring and concerned, but his words were a little rustic. "Don't be nervous, I'm here for you."
"I'm fine." Shi Yu turned his head and smiled at Lu Xisi. Lu Xisi tried to take his hand, but he subtly dodged it, pretending to play with a flower in the bouquet next to him.
"Do you like flowers?" Lucius asked again.
Shi Yu gave a vague reply, but Lu Xis suddenly sat up straight, cleared his throat, and uttered an even more corny remark, "I'll plant a whole garden of flowers for you in the future."
All that's missing is a "waving hand" gesture.
Shi Yu: "..."
Actually, he was just saying it casually.
Besides, there's no future for them. This is just a mission. He'll leave when the game is over. What's he thinking?
When Shi Yu looked back at the game panel, she found that the words on the paper had disappeared, and even the paper itself had disappeared. Lin Fengbai was still unable to be summoned.
Has the paper ball reached its maximum usage limit? Or is there some problem with Lin Fengbai?
Or perhaps...
I don't know if it was just his imagination.
Lucius seemed to glance at his game panel?
.
"Hmm..."
Lin Fengbai was thrown into a small, pure white space, where he clutched his chest and coughed up blood.
A male voice, devoid of emotion, rang out in the pure white space.
"If you have nothing to do, find me a few more books."
After a long while, Lin Fengbai finally managed to sit up, supporting himself on the floor.
He stared into thought at the books on his desk with their colorful covers, such as "Spoiling You in My Arms," "My Gentle Tyrant," "Domineering Young Master, Let Me Go," "The Second Young Master's Runaway Wife," and "Cold School Prince and Cold School Beauty," which were being read with great interest by someone else.
Lin Fengbai struggled to get up and turned on the computer on his desk.
A few more books appeared on the desk in no time.
The blissful married life of a prince and princess
My Marriage with the CEO Turned into Love
A Guide to Dating After Marriage
Do this, and your marriage can be happy for a lifetime.
...
Shi Yu closed the game panel. He glanced at Lucis beside him. Lucis sat upright beside him, smiling as he accepted the envious or blessing glances from passersby.
The reason for the paper ball's disappearance is unknown.
But one thing is certain: Lin Fengbai can no longer transmit information to him.
When Lin Fengbai told him "don't get married," Shi Yu had also thought about it. Lu Xisi had a lot of authority and a deep relationship with the system; he might even be the system itself.
If he and Lucis get married, they will likely be stuck in the instance forever.
He had made a deal with the king; he couldn't avoid going through the marriage process with Lucius so his teammates could clear the dungeon, but he also couldn't actually marry Lucius, or he would be stuck in the dungeon forever.
In other words...
He cannot complete the entire wedding ceremony.
Before they arrived at the wedding venue, Shi Yu and Lu Xisi were arranged to rest in the lounge.
Qin Ke and Mo Rugui also came along and were arranged in another lounge. Shi Yu saw them casually lingering around the door of their lounge a few times. Shi Yu knew they had something to talk to him about, probably something very important. He was thinking about what excuse he should use to leave, since Lu Xisi was always by his side. What excuse could he use that wouldn't arouse Lu Xisi's suspicion?
“Go and invite Ron and His Highness Moses in to sit down,” Lucius suddenly instructed the maid, then said gently to Shi Yu, “They’ve been lingering at the door for a while; they probably have something to discuss with you.”
Shi Yu: "..."
There's no need to be so blunt.
The maid went out and returned, saying, "Your Highness, Prince Ron said he wouldn't disturb you two any longer. He only asked me to convey a message to the princess, saying that the wedding will be tiring and that Your Highness can take a nap now."
Shi Yu nodded.
Then I leaned back on the sofa and took a nap.
There are many kinds of items in the game. Some items can "enter a dream" or "hypnotize". Since they are currently unable to speak, they can only rely on other methods. Qin Ke's suggestion that they take a nap indicates that Qin Ke wants to use these kinds of items to communicate with them.
Sure enough, as his consciousness sank, he heard Qin Ke's anxious voice.
"Hello! Hello!"
"Wake up! I don't have enough time!"
Shi Yu opened his eyes and found himself in Qin Ke's safe house. Qin Ke was sitting on the sofa opposite him. Before he could speak, Qin Ke raised his hand to interrupt him: "Listen, you only have fifteen seconds in the safe house. There are three things to do."
Qin Ke's expression was more serious than ever: "First, Shen Su is missing, and we don't know where he went. Second, we have a new main quest 2, which requires attending your wedding with the Prince Consort. You can only complete one of the two quests to pass the level. If Shen Su doesn't return before your wedding ends, he's finished! Third, you cannot marry Lucis! Absolutely, absolutely not!!"
After Qin Ke finished speaking the last word, the safe house time was up, and the scene before his eyes disappeared.
Shi Yu woke up in the lounge. Lucis was pouring red wine not far away. Shi Yu casually asked a maid beside her, "Why haven't I seen Prince Su Ye?"
Before the maid could speak, Lucius brought over two glasses of red wine, handed one to Shi Yu, and answered his question: "Suye has already left."
"Leave?" Shi Yu didn't answer. He asked Lucius, "Where is he going?"
You can't just leave the game.
The system wouldn't be that kind.
"Fight back." Lucius uttered two words.
A thunderous roar filled Shi Yu's mind.
Engage in battle? What kind of battle? Shen Su isn't a real war god, what kind of battle can he fight? Besides, can't Lucis control the weather and NPCs, but not the war?
Or perhaps...
Shi Yu slowly looked at Lu Xisi, her pale lips moved slightly, and she asked, "Does he really have to go?"
“The enemy is coming on strong, only the God of War can handle it, of course…” Lucius paused, then handed the red wine forward again. This time Shi Yu took it, and Lucius’s tone softened a bit, “This is not a problem for the God of War. If the God of War performs exceptionally well, he might even be able to make it back to our wedding.”
Shi Yu lowered her head and took a sip of red wine.
The originally mellow red wine turned bitter upon tasting.
He interpreted this as a warning from Lucius.
