Chapter 61 Swan Castle (Second Update)
[Help! This female guest is so beautiful!!! She's already a stunning beauty, and she's dressed so beautifully, plus the atmosphere around her is amazing!!!]
[My goodness, I'm starting to wonder if the little witch really was a princess on Earth! So elegant, so noble, and so incredibly spirited! Every smile, every gesture is so beautiful it makes my heart race!]
[She's such a good dancer! She knows how to use her body's advantages so well! Although the moves aren't difficult, her control of the force is amazing; she seems incredibly professional, with a effortless grace that makes her move with ease!]
[Waaaaaah, I also want to be taught how to dance by the Great Demon King like this! It's the first time I've seen the Great Demon King so sweet and gentle!]
[Wow, I saw a live-action version of Beauty and the Beast on "Heartbeat 1000%"! They really are a perfect match—one a princess, the other a beastman!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 8 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Benben"!]
The size difference and the stark contrast in their appearances and species are absolutely stunning; the tension is off the charts!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "文似看山不喜平"!]
The scene where Yu Naixin teaches the werewolf knight to dance isn't actually that beautiful.
Even though Yu Naixin had intentionally brought the werewolf knight to the window so that the moonlight could drape the two of them in embellished silk, the surrounding mess was still a chaotic mess, affecting the overall impression.
The werewolf knight's body was covered in gaping wounds, which became even more gruesome and hideous after he burned his spiritual power to temporarily gain physical form.
He clumsily imitated Yu Naixin's movements, his limbs stiff and awkward. He dared not make any large movements for fear of hurting the delicate human in front of him, making him look particularly ridiculous.
But Yu Naixin remained gentle and patient, smiling as she slowly corrected the werewolf knight's inaccurate movements.
[I feel like I'm watching an animated movie; the identities of these two guests are just too fairytale-like and dreamlike!]
[Wait, wait, wait! I was so focused on the female guest that I just realized something's wrong with this werewolf! The female guest has been interacting with him for so long, why is there still no werewolf perspective available in the live stream?!]
[Wow, now that you mention it, I remember! We all followed the little witch's perspective from the fourth floor down, then climbed through a window and into this room, right? When the little witch greeted the werewolf with "Good afternoon," the werewolf wasn't visible in the live stream!]
[Yes, yes, yes! I noticed that too. The werewolf's figure only appeared on the wall after the female guest shouted "Mr. Werewolf," and it was quite blurry! I felt something was off at the time, but my attention was immediately drawn to the female guest, and I forgot about it. Now that I think about it, there really was something wrong!]
[?! I was wondering why the werewolf seemed so much clearer after the Demon King reached out and took his hand. I thought it was because the Demon King had moved the werewolf from a dark place to a bright spot by the bed! After all, the chandelier in this room is completely shattered and can't provide any light!]
Of course, the viewers in the live stream couldn't see the werewolf knight in his phantom form.
When Yu Naixin sat by the window and invited him to dance, the werewolf knight subconsciously used a small amount of spiritual power to condense a somewhat blurry entity in order to deal with the potential crisis.
Later, when Yu Naixin wanted to hold his hand, the werewolf knight naturally burned more spiritual power to ensure his physical condition in all aspects.
He didn't even enter normally. Theoretically, the werewolf knight shouldn't have entered Swan Castle yet, so he couldn't have his own viewpoint in the live stream.
The perspectives of the Vampire Duke and the Ghost Wizard hadn't been revealed yet, so the viewers in the live stream couldn't possibly imagine that the male guest had sneaked into the show's venue beforehand, and they were all quite puzzled.
However, their attention was soon drawn to Yu Naixin and the werewolf knight's joint dance.
With Yu Naixin simplifying the movements as much as possible and patiently teaching him in detail, the werewolf knight's movements finally became less stiff and rigid than at the beginning.
Although he still looks clumsy and silly, at least the audience knows that he is dancing, rather than doing some extremely substandard post-operative rehabilitation training.
Teacher Yu Naixin also gave positive encouragement: "Yes, you've made great progress, that's good!"
Yu Naixin raised her left hand slightly, and the werewolf knight immediately understood, raising his right hand, which was clasped with Yu Naixin's left hand.
At the same time, the werewolf knight moved back slightly to make room.
Yu Naixin twirled gracefully in the werewolf knight's arms.
Her skirt and hair fluttered softly as Yu Naixin bent back, leaning on the werewolf knight's hand for support, giving him most of her weight.
The werewolf knight quickly used even more force.
With her right leg raised and bent, and her left toes touching the ground, Yu Naixin paused for her final dance step.
Under the clear, bright moonlight, a huge werewolf covered in blood, his face tense and focused, held the hand of a pure and innocent human princess. The ruins beneath their feet and the red roses outside the window complemented each other.
It's like a dazzling flower blooming on a broken castle.
【!!! Ahhhhhh, I'm screaming like crazy! This scene is so beautiful!!】
The stark contrast in appearance between these two guests reached its peak at this moment, it's so adorable! They complement each other perfectly!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "安安安安"!]
[They're such a perfect match! So sweet!!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 12 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Candy All Stuffed in My Mouth"!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 2 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "It's so hard to come up with a name"!]
[...]
A series of system reward notifications rang in her ears. Yu Naixin roughly calculated that she had accumulated about 80 Sweet Coins.
Her account balance also increased from 1650 to around 1730.
Not bad, it's worth it that she came here first to try and seduce the werewolf knight.
When Yu Naixin was forced to marry the mountain god as a sacrificial bride in Cocoon Village, she played the role of the "mountain god" herself, taking on the roles of both "bride" and "groom". Even though the system forced her to hold a wedding in this Swan Castle episode, she would rather continue to marry herself than choose any of the male guests.
However, Yu Naixin did not forget that the core of the dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%" is for the show's guests to win over the other guests.
Whether it's the tips from viewers in the live stream, the settlement after the show ends, or the special magical artifacts given to her by the guests in the dungeon, these are all the resources that enable her to become powerful.
Putting aside the wedding for now, Yu Naixin didn't think it would be difficult to make these male guests develop feelings for her.
It's simply about catering to their desires; helping them fulfill unfulfilled wishes, and healing unhealed wounds.
Making them 1000% excited might be difficult, but making them 100% excited shouldn't be a problem.
In any case, Yu Naixin had already gathered enough information she wanted during the previous two simulations.
Now, we're just waiting to implement them one by one.
[The little witch was absolutely amazing when she was seriously trying to win over the guest in the dungeon! Her eyes were full of smiles and sparkling affection, constantly showering you with attention, encouragement, and finally, complete trust in you! I was almost smitten watching from the sidelines. If the werewolf's favorability doesn't reach 60% after this, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair!]
[What? It's like you can actually wash your hair upside down. But judging from the werewolf's reaction, 60% is too conservative; I'd estimate it's at least 80%!]
[Now that you mention it, this werewolf seems pretty easy to win over? I thought the male guests in these mutated fusion scenarios were particularly difficult to deal with.]
[Don't forget, the female guest is essentially a newcomer! This is only her second episode! Even the mutation fusion challenge is the easiest one, and there have to be one or two guests who are relatively easy to handle. "Heartbeat 1000%" is meant for her to overcome challenges, not to be sent to her death!]
[You call this easy? First, you need the female guest's looks; second, you need her dance skills; and third, you need her charisma and voice. Try changing the guest on another show and see if it's easy or not.]
Indeed, her face alone gives her a huge advantage...
[Upon closer analysis, I feel that the female guest simply happened to do the same "correct and special" thing as the copycat guest in the "correct and special" setting. This is quite common; the show's guests discover the copycat guest's preferences by looking for clues, and then put those preferences into practice to increase the copycat guest's favorability.]
[But this female guest immediately unleashed her full potential upon meeting the guest... her luck stat was truly maxed out, and she just happened to hit the right spot where the guest was easy to win over.]
Luck is also a part of strength; the Great Demon King is truly powerful!
As the dance ended, the werewolf knight was still savoring the moment, his eyes glazed as he looked down at Yu Naixin, utterly infatuated.
Yu Naixin had already withdrawn her hand from the werewolf knight's without hesitation.
The werewolf knight was afraid of hurting Yu Naixin, so he didn't dare to hold her hand too tightly. Yu Naixin gently pulled away.
The sweet and lovely fairy gave her male companion a faint smile, and then, just as she had arrived, she lightly stepped onto the broken windowsill and disappeared into the moonlight outside the window.
To capture someone, you must first let them go.
Werewolf Knight: "...??!!"
The delicate, warm touch on his palm turned into the coolness of the night breeze. The werewolf knight was stunned for a while before he finally realized that Yu Naixin had already left.
A mixture of profound loss and overwhelming joy welled up in the werewolf knight's chest. He couldn't help but reach out his right hand and clutch his left chest tightly, trying to calm his heartbeat.
Without any hesitation, the werewolf knight transformed back into a phantom and headed straight downstairs.
He's about to make his official entrance!
This way, he will have a chance to officially meet the female guest!
He needs to find her as soon as possible!
**********
After Yu Naixin climbed out of the study through the window, the entire live broadcast room followed her back to the outer wall of Swan Castle.
Why isn't the werewolf's perspective open yet?
Could there be some kind of bug in the "Heartbeat 1000%" program?!
[Hiss... If you had told me a couple of years ago that the show had bugs, I would have laughed my head off, but there have really been a few bugs in the last two years... After all... never mind, I can't say, there really were a tiny little problem...]
【Shh!! Do you want to die?! Shut up!!!】
[I saw this sea of red roses outside the castle with the little witch again. It seemed to stretch endlessly, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright. The entire event area had such a fairytale feel to it.]
Don't you think that rose red is creepy... like there's fresh blood flowing on it...?
Yu Naixin also felt that these red roses were inextricably linked to blood.
And she has evidence.
One is the fragment of the Elf Prince's memory, and the other is the poem he saw in the princess's diary during the second simulation.
"A pure white swan is trapped in a high tower, every feather a shackle. The cry from the bottom of its heart is a hopeless lament, and blood and tears have only attracted the devil."
These two sentences perfectly capture the "princess" persona portrayed by the female guests in the past.
"Blood and tears" refers not only to the princesses' suffering, but also to the specific scenery of "red roses and white moonlight" outside Swan Castle.
As a female guest on this episode, a new "princess," Yu Naixin could clearly feel that every time she ran outside the castle, even if she only moved briefly against the outer wall of Swan Castle, the sea of roses under her feet and the moon above her head would emanate waves of malice towards her.
They wanted to devour her and turn her into one of them.
This is Yu Naixin's most direct perception.
If the head maid Rosluna represented the goodwill of the countless female guests before her, then the red rose and moonlight should represent their dying struggle of hatred and malice.
When Yu Naixin first simulated running around and building a three-dimensional map of Swan Castle, she saw these two sights for the first time, and a cry from her very soul desperately told her not to get close.
One of the unspoken rules of this episode is that the female guests cannot leave Swan Castle, or they will perish in this sea of roses under the moonlight.
Yu Naixin was only able to bypass this rule to some extent and take a shortcut outside after she gained access to the princess's authority.
The Vampire Duke and the Ghost Wizard are already in the banquet hall, and the Werewolf Knight will be there soon. The only male guest still wandering around the castle is the Elf Prince.
