Chapter 13: Sorry, I embarrassed myself again
Chapter 13: Sorry, I embarrassed myself again
After Chu Cheng'an woke up again, he took a look at the mermaid princess who pulled him out of the sea. Just one look made his heart beat wildly, like the sound of a war drum lingering for a long time.
The mermaid princess was breathtakingly beautiful. All the words he had heard before to describe beautiful girls, such as peerless beauty, celestial figure, skin as white as snow, etc., were not enough to describe her beauty. Chu Chengan couldn't forget her after just one glance, especially her eyes, which looked a bit like that person...
He couldn't remember it for a moment.
Chu Cheng'an was awake for no more than five seconds before falling asleep again due to the overwhelming pressure.
He knew that this plot was not supposed to exist. In the original book, the prince never woke up after falling into the water, and he never saw the beautiful mermaid princess. He just thought that it was a princess from another kingdom who saved him and he finally married her.
The mermaid princess is so pitiful. She has to make wedding dresses for others and can’t make any sound after drinking the cursed potion. She can’t defend herself.
Chu Chengan decided to do his best. Although he could not change the original ending of the story, he wanted to be good to the mermaid princess.
He slept for a long time this time, and his head became heavy. He often felt a dull pain in the back of his head for no reason...
In his sleep, he vaguely dreamed of the scenes when he and Lu Zhenqiu played football and had running competitions together when they were children.
He could also vaguely hear singing coming into his ears, a humming sound without words, like the lullaby his mother hummed to him when he was a child.
This accompaniment really made him feel at ease, just like it made Chu Cheng live a worry-free childhood before junior high school.
Little Lu Zhenqiu was so cute at that time. He looked a bit like a girl. In the winter, his little face was red, as if he had put on rouge. Even Chu Chengan couldn't help but praise him for his good looks.
They were getting along fine back then, so when did they start quarreling?
There was no time to think about it carefully, this dream was overturned by the waves and I directly entered the next dream.
…
In his dream, Chu Cheng'an felt that he had been soaked in the sea water for too long.
His whole face was wrinkled, and he thought he must not look good now.
Then he was carried to some place by someone.
The next time I woke up was because of the system warning sound.
In another space.
"Dear player, the system has detected that your happiness value has fallen below the average. If it continues to fall, your life may be in danger. Do you need to use props to recover?"
When Chu Chengan heard about the danger, what other choice did he have? He immediately offered one of the five candies and chose yes.
The system sound rang in his head again.
"Your happiness meter has been refilled."
Chu Chengan: “???”
Doesn't one candy only replenish a small amount of happiness? Hasn't his value already fallen below the average? Did the system feed him all five candies?
After Chu Cheng'an's abnormal state ended, he was kicked out of the alien space by the system and continued to complete his mission in the fairy tale world.
He opened his eyes dazedly. This was the place where he was before he went to the system space.
In front of him is the mermaid princess. He doesn't know when it started, but he feels like he is holding her pretty little face in his hands, like he is holding an exquisite doll. No wonder he always feels like there is something soft next to him that he can't bear to let go.
The mermaid princess blushed and seemed a little angry, but she couldn't use force against the drowning person. What if she punched him and took away his last breath?
Chu Chengan was so weak that he couldn't speak. He thought to himself, I'm so sorry, he didn't mean it, he was so confused that he didn't know...
The mermaid princess had already brought him back to the shore and wanted to say something to him, but in the end she said nothing. The emotion in her eyes might be reluctance to leave, but there was no other way. She had to pretend to wipe away her tears and quickly go back to the sea, otherwise her body would gradually become dry and dehydrated.
Chu Cheng'an's throat was also dry. He swallowed too much salty sea water and his throat was sore.
Forget about calling the mermaid's name, he couldn't even utter a single syllable that would attract anyone's attention. He could only make the Erkang hand gesture with a face full of affection.
The system was already used to it, and in order to respect the original plot, it reluctantly manipulated the tool rabbit to knock him out again.
…
Chu Chengan's head is very strong and he has not suffered a concussion so far, thanks to the correct position of the rabbit hammer.
After waking up this time, the handsome prince bid farewell to the shipwreck completely.
He was lying in bed in a rich, stately town in a neighboring country.
The entire hotel seemed to be specially opened for nobles to travel and vacation. Apart from the servants, there were no other idle guests in it.
After Chu Cheng'an got down to earth, the first thing he thought of was to thank his savior.
After asking the maid, he learned that the princess who saved him was currently admiring the flowers in the garden.
Also a princess? Yes, the next plot, although Chu Cheng'an has not had time to turn to the story of the mermaid princess, but based on the story of the daughter of the sea he read when he was a child, it is not difficult to remember what will happen next.
Arriving at the garden, Chu Chengan saw the equally beautiful princess of a neighboring country standing next to the green plants. This was the original wife of the male protagonist in the original novel, so she was not a villain, right? After all, she also saved the prince by chance, and she didn't even know about the existence of the mermaid princess.
Chu Chengan touched his head and forced himself to go over and promote the plot.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving me. My name is William, and I'm a prince from the Kingdom of Essex. May I know your name, Princess?" Chu Cheng'an learned the name of his country in the tavern before, and he didn't expect to use it now.
The princess said generously: "My name is Hannah, but I have other names. Do you want to hear them?"
Chu Chengan was stunned: "???"
He thought the princess was going to say her nickname next, but she recited an oriental poem to him instead.
"I came from Penglai to see the vast ocean. I entertained guests from more than a hundred cities, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles."
Chu Chengan wanted to stuff the goose eggs into his mouth again.
This poem is easy to understand. Even Chu Chengan, who had just recovered from a serious illness and whose brain was not very smart, could easily guess that it was an acrostic poem.
The system would definitely not allow players to reveal their identities to each other and would not allow players to form groups, so the clever Yan Qing came up with this method, worthy of being a senior player who had passed level seven.
Chu Cheng'an was so excited at the moment that he couldn't express it in words. He wanted to drink some wine to cheer himself up and compose a poem.
He actually did it.
"I came here from the sports school to participate in the competition. Chu...Chu Chu Chu..." Chu Cheng'an turned around in front of Yan Qing several times. He couldn't say anything.
There is no ink in the stomach, and all the nutrients you eat grow in the muscles and bones.
After a moment, everything in front of his eyes turned white, and Chu Chengan was locked in a small dark room by the system for a talk.
He finally realized that he shouldn't show off this non-existent skill, which would have brought shame upon himself and made him lose face in front of the new team members.
…
It is called a small dark room, but it is actually the alien space mentioned before.
You can't see the system, you can only hear its mechanical voice, like a cold judgment machine.
"Player Chu Chengan, you have been recorded by the system once. If you violate the rules and share information with other players again, the system will directly delete you."
Chu Chengan had no words to express his pain. He couldn't even utter a meaningless word like "Aba Aba". He felt very wronged. Why couldn't this game system allow them to reveal their identities to each other? Wasn't this just a role-playing fairy tale?
After detecting that Chu Chengan's happiness value had dropped below the average, he ate a second candy under the threat of the system. He could easily eat candy because he wanted to see how much candy he had left.
Now I am not wrong, there are 3 left.
Speaking of the game props obtained in the previous level, his chocolates and candies were not in the compartments of the prince's dress. The clothes had no pockets, so it was impossible to put a handkerchief in, let alone secretly take some snacks out. How could the system allow him to use the props remotely?
After Chu Chengan finished eating, he was kicked out of the alien space by the system.
After a while, the surroundings became clear again, and it was the garden where Yan Qing was.
Yan Qing asked tentatively: "Prince William, are you okay?"
Chu Chengan pointed to his mouth and shook his head. The smart Yan Qing immediately understood and said no more.
What to do next, does Yan Qing need to say more? They all know that they have to hurry up and push the plot.
When Prince William learned that it was Princess Hannah from the neighboring country who accidentally saved him while out for a trip, he felt that everything was destined. It just so happened that he had completed the great test given to him by the king, and was about to return to become the heir to the throne and choose a princess. The natural candidate for the princess was Princess Hannah.
In the original book, the prince didn't know at this time that the person who really saved him was the mermaid princess. He was only thinking about marrying Princess Hannah as soon as possible.
Only the little mermaid was sad alone. She could not forget the prince. Since she rescued him, she fell deeply in love with him. In order to go to the land and marry him, she asked the sea witch for a magic potion. After drinking it, her fish tail could turn into legs.
But all potions come at a price, and her price was her fishtail transformed into legs. Every step she took was as painful as walking on swords. Also, her voice was taken away forever by the sea witch, and she could never sing again.
The little mermaid thought that these were the only two conditions, and that as long as she could see the prince again, she would not care about anything. But the sea witch told her about the third backlash of the potion. She said that if the prince could not marry her or married someone else, she would turn into a wisp of foam in the morning light on the second morning after the prince's wedding.
…
If Chu Chengan had not met the Little Mermaid or read the storybook The Daughter of the Sea, he would not have been so moved.
When he was listening to Princess Hannah (Yan Qing) explaining their next mission, his mind was not on Yan Qing's words at all. The only thing on his mind was the mermaid princess whom he had just met. Both of them were princesses of countries and cities. Just looking at their looks, they were enough to make any man in the city fall for them.
Chu Cheng'an didn't have to answer multiple-choice questions. His brain had automatically set his preferences.
Even though Princess Hannah was right in front of him with a halo and shining brightly, Chu Chengan had already opened the barrier that blocked off everyone else.
