The feeling of unreality intensified, and Cinderella abruptly shoved Charlene away, coldly saying, "You deceived me, Your Highness!"
She lifted her skirt, turned, and ran outside. Xia Linyin quickly got up to chase after her, but like in a fairy tale, Cinderella gracefully departed from the banquet, leaving behind only a heartbroken prince.
This time, however, Cinderella did not leave behind her glass slipper; her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
After leaving the banquet, Cinderella encountered the kind witch again. The witch clicked her tongue and looked at Cinderella, who was squatting in the corner, with pity. "What are you troubled about, Cinderella?"
"Are you doubting the prince's sincerity?"
The witch crouched down, looking at Cinderella with incredibly loving eyes, who exuded a pitiful aura. "I can help you, Cinderella."
"I can help you test the prince's true feelings, but I will turn you into an ugly frog, a frog that can only regain its human form after receiving a true love's kiss."
"If you turn into a frog and His Highness still loves you and kisses you, then it proves that His Highness's love for you is true. What else do you have to worry about, Cinderella? Accept him."
"If His Highness cannot accept you as a frog and refuses to kiss you, it proves that the prince is not sincere towards you, so you should leave."
Cinderella finally raised her small face, looked at the witch, and said resolutely, "No, if it is proven that she is not sincere to me, then I will imprison her in a place where no one can find her, so that she can never invite girls to parties again."
The witch looked constipated. After a long silence, she finally managed to utter the words, "Cinderella, you are such an interesting (unconventional) girl."
After waving her magic wand and hastily turning Cinderella into a frog, the witch, once again questioning the meaning of life, disappeared from the spot.
"Croak—" On the ground, an ugly frog croaked once and then hopped away.
Cinderella vanished as if she had evaporated into thin air, and Xia Linyin led a search party out for two days without finding her.
Until a frog with pustules on its back jumped onto her shoe, Xia Linyin picked up the frog, examined it for a moment, and then immediately led the guards back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Xia Linyin put the frog in a basin of water and, watching it swim back and forth, asked, "Are you Cinderella?"
"Croak—" The frog jumped heavily, splashing water all over Xia Linyin's face.
Well, it really is Cinderella. No wonder I had a strange feeling when I saw this frog.
So this story has gone from Cinderella to the Frog Prince?
So, does that mean if she kisses the frog, Cinderella can be restored to human form?
Charlene picked up the frog and held it in her palm, automatically ignoring the pustules on its back, and exclaimed, "My little...Cinderella is so cute even as a frog."
After saying that, she gave the frog a big kiss.
Charlene's voice was so decisive and swift that Cinderella hadn't even had time to react before she transformed from a frog into a human.
Staring blankly at Xia Linyin with her mouth agape, Cinderella felt as if she were walking on clouds. How could this be...?
How could I have kissed her so casually? She's a frog...
A surge of warmth welled up in Cinderella's heart, burning her eyes. Only one thought occupied her mind—
She loves me! She really loves me!
So no matter what she becomes, I will never dislike her and will still love her.
Cinderella felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. This surging emotion washed over Cinderella's heart, and with a "click," it seemed as if some shackles were broken by this surging emotion...
Her aura shifted, and Cinderella asked with a deep gaze, "What did you just call me 'little'?"
"Xiao Li, you remembered?" Xia Linyin asked in surprise.
"Xiao Li... Xiao Li... Xiao Li..." Cinderella murmured, her eyes growing more sinister with each repetition, until finally becoming terrifyingly deep.
Looking at the blue dress and the prominent breasts, Cinderella's face darkened. Without a doubt, this was the work of one of her personalities.
Besides the personality that has been eliminated—the one who loves wearing pink shirts and making delicate hand gestures—there is another personality within me who has a particular fondness for women's clothing.
This guy is a cross-dressing enthusiast who makes a living by live streaming online. His daily life consists of wearing a wig and a skirt, singing and dancing in front of his computer, acting cute and asking for donations. Because the effect of dressing up as a girl is very good, his popularity on the platform is ridiculously high. However, he has a fetish for stealing corpses and likes to make up corpses.
The player's task is to find the mastermind behind the frequent thefts of corpses.
Because Xia Linyin had never participated in this game, this guy had wanted to dress up in front of her for a long time, always wanting to know Xia Linyin's reaction after seeing him in women's clothing. Now he finally got his wish, but for the other personalities, it was not a good experience.
Xiao Li looked at Xia Linyin with distress. What should he do? He really wanted his sister to forget about this, but he had promised her that he would not do anything to erase her memory again.
He raised his hand and covered Xia Linyin's eyes, as if that would make her forget that he was dressed as a woman. Xiao Li kissed Xia Linyin's lips, "I'll wait for you, sister."
Everything around her shattered like a mirror, and Xia Linyin's consciousness was pulled away from Xiao Li's mental world.
She opened her eyes, sat up, and took off her helmet while lying in the single-bed pod.
Not long after waking up, she received a communication request from Su Jinyan.
Xia Linyin swiped the screen on her wristwatch, and Su Jinyan's figure was projected into mid-air, dressed in a handsome combat uniform, with a huge insect-beast corpse behind him.
"Long time no see, Lin Yin." His voice was gentle and steady, with an added touch of mature charm.
Just like his handsome, fair face, after being exposed to the wind and sun on the insect planet, he became a bit darker and more masculine.
The gentlemanly man with his silver-rimmed glasses and always impeccably clean white shirt seemed to be someone I hadn't seen in a long time. Xia Linyin glanced at the dried insect residue on his combat uniform and nodded, saying, "Long time no see."
Looking at Xia Linyin's face, Su Jinyan gripped his lightsaber tightly and said in a businesslike tone, "Linyin, I'll send you the list later. Please help replenish the supplies."
Xia Linyin gestured to him, "Okay, no problem."
Although their conversation was as ordinary as could be, just like the conversation between ordinary friends, Su Yu, who knew Su Jinyan well, could still see the restrained love in Su Jinyan's eyes.
He also keenly observed the subtle movement of gripping the lightsaber.
He was so angry that he almost went up and cut off their communication. What a spineless woman! Xia Linyin is already married, and she's still thinking about him!
