Linghu Lan's eardrums were almost deafened!
Princess Rose?
sleeping Beauty? ? ?
"..."
Linghu Lan was devastated.
The rightmost path leads to a Sleeping Beauty storyline?
Where the hell did Snow White go?
Wow!
Her mind was a complete mess.
System, come out here, what the hell is going on?
#System God's Disdain: Can you keep a secret?
Linghu Lan: Yes!
System: Me too! →_→
Linghu Lan: I %￥……%￥#
"Princess Rose?" The landlady scoffed. "That's just a legend. No one can be sure if there really is someone in the ruined palace. Are we really going to wait a hundred years to verify it? I've heard that a witch actually lived in the ruined palace. There were once thirteen witches in the country, twelve of whom were good, and only one was bad. Later, the other witches conspired to seal the thirteenth witch into the ruined palace. I'd rather believe this story."
“Ignorant!” The old man shook his head. “Princess Rose is the rightful heir to the throne. If Princess Rose hadn’t been cursed by the witch and fallen into a deep sleep, how could Princess Rose have succeeded to the throne? You should not forget the old king’s kindness!”
"Ridiculous! Although Princess Rose is the daughter of the old king's brother, the old king treated her like his own daughter. Our recognition of her is our way of repaying the old king. Alright, you've finished eating, I'm going to clear the dishes!" The proprietress unceremoniously cleared away the old man's dishes.
The old man shook his head and walked out.
Linghu Lan suddenly asked, "Is Princess Rose cursed to sleep for a hundred years? Is there anyone who will come to save her?"
Finally, someone believed him, and the old man was very excited. "Of course, people came, but they were all entangled in the green thorns. No matter which country the warriors came from, none of them were able to enter the castle. Many people lost their lives as a result. Gradually, the Rose Queen ordered the ruined palace to be sealed off, forbidding anyone from approaching it."
"How pitiful! Thank you!"
Linghu Lan got up and walked towards the ruined palace. She wanted to see Princess Rose, as if all the truth was buried under the thorns of the ruined palace.
The abandoned palace was unguarded, surrounded by a fence with a sign that read: "Thorns can be dangerous; do not approach."
Linghu Lan jumped over the fence and went inside.
Sensing someone approaching, the green thorns swayed excitedly, their thorny vines suddenly lashing out at Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan ducked to avoid it.
More thorns lashed out, and Linghu Lan pulled out a dagger and painstakingly cut them off.
She began to understand why those warriors died under the thorns.
It's not that the warriors are incompetent, but that the thorns are too tough.
She struggled for a long time to cut down a few thorns, but more thorns rushed over, trying to drag Linghu Lan into the thicket and turn her into a sieve.
Linghu Lan swiftly brandished her dagger, inflicting more and more wounds on the thorns, leaving a pile of broken thorns on the ground.
At the crucial moment, Linghu Lan opened a packet of powder: extra spicy chili powder and threw it up.
The thorns snapped back as if they had been scorched by something.
Linghu Lan clearly heard the thorns' screams in her mind: "It's so spicy, it hurts so much, this witch is poisonous."
"..."
It's poisonous!!!
Linghu Lan never expected that she could defeat the incredibly tough thorns with just a packet of chili powder.
Unfortunately, she brought too little chili powder this time; she needs to prepare more.
