The light from outside shone in through the window and was refracted by the sticky blood on the ground, inexplicably staining Ophelia in the pile of corpses with a few spots of scarlet luster.
When Xu Xianxian saw the other person's silly and cute look, she couldn't help but recall the tragic scene in her nightmare where she was chopped into pieces by the other person, and she became extremely angry.
"What time is it, you big-headed devil!" Xu Xianxian poked the other's flawless forehead fiercely, without any sense of the hierarchy between princess and knight. She cursed: "I was dragged into a nightmare and still addicted to games. He even chopped me into dozens of pieces. I have never seen such a stupid lord!"
"If I hadn't held back, you would have been the first princess in the empire to kill a guardian knight!"
On the surface, the other party is still her master, but this young lady who has just come of age is too naive to face the world and cannot withstand any temptation.
Hellish Nightmare derives nightmares from its own nature and can easily pull most creatures into it, but the nightmares experienced by each creature are not exactly the same.
Because nightmares reflect what living beings desire, the desires they pursue even though they cannot obtain them in reality, they are their greatest weakness.
However, as long as one's mental strength is strong enough, one will generally not be confused by nightmares in an instant. Even if one is really lost in it, it is only because one is unable to fight against the monsters created by the nightmare, and only becomes the nourishment of the nightmare after being killed in it.
But there are very few people like Ophelia who can indulge in an illusion derived from a nightmare even though she knows it is an illusion derived from a nightmare.
"......ah?"
After Ophelia was poked on the head several times by Xu Xianxian, she couldn't help but cover her head in pain, looking at the short and cute little girl in front of her with tears in her eyes.
She looked at Xu Xianxian in a daze. When she opened her bright big eyes and looked at her angrily, she lowered her head guiltily.
The Seventh Princess' eyes wandered, and she asked timidly, "What happened before?"
At this moment, she lacked the dignity of a princess. Or perhaps, after she and Xu Xianxian had lived in human society for so long, the gap between them, their superiors and subordinates, had gradually dissipated.
After all, she was just a young fairy who had just reached adulthood.
"It's nothing. Just as you were about to go on stage to present the game guide, we were dragged into a nightmare." Xu Xianxian looked at the other person's fragile expression and softened her tone. She simply recounted the incident: "Then I was pulled into your nightmare... No, it was probably a beautiful dream for you. I was set up as the young dragon boss in it, and then you chopped me into pieces in front of a bunch of people."
At the end, she glared at him indignantly: "Besides, I'm already dead, and you still want to whip my corpse and chop me into dozens of pieces. I'm almost minced meat!"
After hearing this, Loli Xu became angrier the more she thought about it.
Originally, falling to death was her way of escaping the nightmare, but Ophelia's smooth whipping of the corpse was beyond her expectations. Not only did it cause her to lose a lot of mental energy, it also forced her to forcibly cast the Eye of the Abyss.
According to the original plan, her lying dead would confuse the Scarlet Messenger's judgment, and then buy enough time for the chanting of the Eye of the Abyss to end, but in reality... plans cannot keep up with changes, so she could only release an incomplete version in advance.
"Did something like this happen in a dream?" Ophelia looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking of something happy. A smile appeared on her lips, but when she saw Natalie's angry expression, she shook her head nervously: "...But I don't remember it."
As she shook her head, her long black hair swung back and forth, hitting Xu Xianxian's face twice.
Xu Xianxian brushed aside the man's long hair and stared into his eyes in disbelief: "Did you really forget?"
"It's true, truer than pearls." Ophelia raised her right hand and made an oath gesture: "If you don't believe me, I swear to you."
Xu Xianxian said nothing, just stared into Ophelia's eyes.
The Seventh Princess looked a little dazed, as if she had truly forgotten what had happened in her dream. However, seeing Natalie's persistent gaze, she could only slowly speak: "Heaven and Earth, I am the Seventh Princess of the Fairy Empire, Ophelia..."
Before Ophelia could finish, Xu Xianxian slapped her hand away and rolled her eyes. "Come on, stop reading those jokes made up by humans online. And swearing to the heavens and the earth... Princess, you two are not from the same system, okay?"
She was completely helpless against the little princess's innocence.
"So... I swear to the Great Fairy Mother? Or the Three Pillar Spirits?"
Ophelia first said "oh" obediently, then asked tentatively.
"Forget it." Xu Xianxian was also amused by this girl: "If swearing is effective, sows can climb trees."
She didn't want to argue with this stupid princess anymore, so she stood up and reached out to pull her off the sofa.
"Look around here." Xu Xianxian pointed to the messy hall. There were few living people and many dead. "They were all killed in the nightmare, and then reflected in reality."
"...How could this happen?" After being pulled up by Loli, Ophelia finally took a closer look at the surrounding scene. She didn't expect so many people to die because of nightmares. There was a bit of pity in her expression, "They were all fine when they were playing games with me..."
Among the many corpses lying nearby, many were members of her guild. They had been chatting and laughing in the game before, but now they died in such unclear circumstances.
"What do you think, Princess?" Xu Xianxian whispered, her voice filled with an inexplicable emotion. "In war, you can be ruthless and unhesitating towards unfamiliar creatures. But when it comes to familiar creatures, you feel pity and sadness for them."
"You must remember that you are the Great Fairy Mage and the Princess of the Empire. Never forget your identity and the purpose of your coming to Earth."
"My young princess! Look into your heart and ask yourself: are you going to bring death or hope to other civilizations?"
Loli Xu took a few steps forward and stood among the corpses, her back to Ophelia. The light from the outside world reflected on her body, as if she were covered with a layer of blood-red veil.
It’s not easy!
Xu Xianxian had been holding it in for so many days, and finally found the perfect opportunity to lecture this playful and disillusioned Seventh Princess. She had always been accustomed to solving problems through killing, and she had long wanted to launch a verbal attack that would question her inner thoughts, but unfortunately she had never found a good opportunity.
This situation and scene are just right.
She almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it back.
