Chapter 45 One Hundred Red Roses at Swan Castle
【What?! What happened?! What did the female guest do that caused the elf to be suddenly controlled again?!】
[I feel like I've been stuck in a question mark state ever since I entered this live stream... but I still really want to! What's going on this time?! I don't think I even blinked!]
[You, me, her? I was just about to say that the Great Demon King must have used some underhanded methods. Besides mahjong, she also has a fan, a special spiritual artifact at the Domain Lord level. But I zoomed in on the surrounding area and didn't see a folding fan!]
[Holy crap, I get it now! Didn't the elf and vampire mention they knew each other before? The predecessors of the Mutation Fusion Dungeon show were two regular dungeon shows, and these two male guests were old rivals in the same dungeon!]
[This is hilarious! It's true! The female guest might try to extract other information from the elf, but when it comes to getting information about the vampire's weakness, the elf will absolutely tell you everything willingly!]
Yu Naixin took advantage of the Elf Prince's hatred for the Vampire Duke.
Asking the mirror about his own weakness would be something the Elf Prince wouldn't be happy about, but asking about his enemy's weakness would certainly make him happy.
If he were conscious, the Elf Prince might still be wary of Yu Naixin, and would choose to be cautious and silent because there are two new competitors besides himself and the Vampire Duke.
However, right now, the Elf Prince is still under Yu Naixin's control. He can't even sort out his own thoughts, so how could he resist revealing the vampire duke's weaknesses?
The immediate feedback Yu Naixin received also indicated that after she asked the question, the Elf Prince not only stopped thinking about escaping her control, but also directly increased the time she could control him by several seconds.
Not bad, not bad.
Yu Naixin nodded and withdrew her spiritual power that had been controlling the Elf Prince.
Under Yu Naixin's manipulation, the spiritual energy was like countless threads so fine they could not be thinner, seeping into the Elf Prince's body. Then, with a remarkably skillful technique, she wove a net that completely enveloped all the Elf Prince's spiritual energy, allowing it to be manipulated at will.
When Yu Naixin retrieved them, they returned to their original silken state, like weary birds returning to their nests, and went back into Yu Naixin's body.
The reason Yu Naixin chose to stop just seconds before the Jade Bone Mahjong set completely failed was because she could sense that the Elf Prince's powerful spiritual energy was not just for show. If she had stayed until the very last moment, she would have suffered a fierce revenge from the Elf Prince.
Yu Naixin can control the Elf Prince through spiritual power, and the Elf Prince can naturally use spiritual power to destroy her in return.
Spiritual power is such a wondrous yet fragile thing.
If it comes to a head-on confrontation, Yu Naixin has absolutely no chance of winning against a male guest of this caliber, and such unnecessary losses should certainly be avoided as much as possible.
Anyway, she had already gotten what she wanted from the Elf Prince, and it was far beyond her expectations.
The moment Yu Naixin withdrew her spiritual power, she noticed that the spiritual power within the Elf Prince's body still retained the inertia of being controlled by her, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Such a great opportunity, why not take it?
Yu Naixin immediately gave the Elf Prince one last order: "Get as far away as you can as you can, and when you get there, squat down and count a hundred red roses."
We can't always let her run around alone. We should share the good times and let him give it a try too.
After Yu Naixin brought the golden key and told the Vampire Duke and the Elf Prince about the princess's elopement, the two male guests, who were originally restricted to the banquet hall by the rules and unable to leave temporarily, were granted the authority to search for the princess throughout the castle.
The vampire duke had already left, and now the elf prince could also leave the banquet hall.
Using his still somewhat unruly limbs, the Elf Prince indeed managed to disappear from the visible area of the banquet hall within just a few seconds, just as Yu Naixin had said.
This also allowed Yu Naixin to witness just how absurdly fast the male guest on this episode could travel without having to search for her all the way.
We need to be a little more careful.
With the Elf Prince's concerted efforts, Yu Naixin waved her hand to summon the priest's folding fan, stepped on it, and flew away from the hall.
The whole process was unhurried, leisurely, and quite relaxed.
It's as if Yu Naixin isn't the absolute weaker party forced to flee from an invincible and powerful enemy, but rather she's temporarily too lazy to fight back and is just wandering around aimlessly.
I never expected that the female guest could be so... arrogant towards the male guest, especially since the mahjong set was about to expire.
[Hahahaha, are you crazy?! This is a hellish difficulty mutated fusion dungeon. With the ability to manipulate and control the dungeon's guests at will, there are many other things you could do, why would you have them sitting in a corner counting roses?!]
Even at the very end, she didn't forget to bring out the guest stars from the sidelines; truly a cunning and mischievous little witch!
Most viewers in the live stream were watching from Yu Naixin's perspective, but a small number of viewers were also watching the Elf Prince, wondering where he had gone.
The Elf Prince eventually reached the end of the left-hand corridor from the central round tower of Swan Castle.
Then, he squatted down in the corner at the end of the corridor and began to count as Yu Naixin had asked: "Red roses, one... two red roses..."
[I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! The elf is so funny, hahaha!]
[I'm having a really hard time right now. On one hand, I find it ridiculous that the elf is squatting in the corner counting, but on the other hand, I find the female guest's request to "count a hundred red roses" strangely romantic... Damn it, have I caught this female guest's neuroticism?!]
You know what, you really have to admit, counting a hundred red roses is actually quite romantic! Even though the male guest can't speak fluently yet, he still insists on carrying out the female guest's orders. Isn't that sweet?!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "So What if my brain circuit is a little hydrogen-rich?"!]
After uttering the words "three red roses," the Elf Prince finally regained his self-awareness.
Upon seeing the corner of the wall so close to him, and realizing he was squatting down, the Elf Prince's handsome, otherworldly face was filled with bewilderment.
What is he doing?
Looking at this place from this angle and with this posture, everything was completely unfamiliar to the Elf Prince, not to mention that these situations were compounded together.
It took the Elf Prince a full two seconds to react before the memories of being controlled by Yu Naixin seemed to finally connect and flood into his brain.
The feeling of this memory being forcibly inserted gave the Elf Prince a headache. He couldn't help but raise his right hand to his forehead, furrow his brows, and close his eyes.
[The female guest's special magical artifact is quite powerful; the aftereffects it caused the male guest are so severe.]
Isn't this female guest's behavior quite domineering?
[Once the elf remembers everything, he'll probably be furious and want to tear the female guest apart right away!]
Of course! Who wouldn't be angry after being pranked like that, especially a guest on a side story?
Contrary to what the viewers in the live stream had guessed, after the Elf Prince quickly recovered from his discomfort and calmed down completely, he did not show any resentment.
In the Elf Prince's deep blue eyes, there was only deep surprise and uncertainty.
He stood up and couldn't help but look to his side and behind him.
There was a window in the wall, and outside the window, red roses stretched as far as the eye could see, their beauty enhanced by the clear moonlight.
The Elf Prince involuntarily held his breath for a second.
In the fragments of memory the Elf Prince could recall, he knew that Yu Naixin had learned some of his secrets through the spiritual power within him.
One hundred red roses...
How much did this female guest actually know?
