Chapter 388: Her Ghost Boyfriend (14)

Bai Yao remembered in the evening that the goods she ordered from Mr. Owl should have arrived. She went out for a while, and when she came back, she walked along the forest path. She looked up and saw the shadow of the tower in the distance.

The location of the tower seemed very strange. No matter how far she walked, the tower always seemed to keep a certain distance from her, and there was no sign of it getting closer.

She remembered what Mrs. Aaron said. If she wanted to find out about the tower, maybe she should ask Anna.

Anna happened to be standing on a stone today, telling a story that she had not finished to the little kids who were gathered in a circle.

Langdon and Anna got along well. He had heard Anna tell this story many times, but whenever Anna repeated the same old story, he would listen with great interest, and he was definitely the most enthusiastic audience member.

Anna scratched her head and said, "Where did I leave off last time?"

Langdon raised his hand, "I know, I know! Anna said last time that the princess found the three fairies of wind, water, and fire, and they defeated the robbers and went into the dark forest to rest!"

Anna clapped her hands, "Yes, I got to that point!"

The other children asked, "What happened next! What interesting things happened to the princess and the others!"

Anna deliberately kept the children in suspense, and when the children were making a noise, she cleared her throat and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

All the children shut up.

Anna said: "The Dark Forest is the most terrifying place in the legend. It is full of dangers. Even an ordinary plant can become a murderous weapon. Although the princess and her companions were very cautious, they still encountered danger..."

In order to compete for the favor of the fire elves, the wind elves and the water elves had a conflict. The princess wanted to mediate, but no one was willing to listen to her.

The princess said: "Everyone, we are friends who live and die together. If we have any problems, we can discuss and solve them together." The

angry wind elf replied sarcastically: "What qualifications do you have to be a rational bystander here?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess was stunned for a moment, "I just think that everyone should get along well with each other. It must be a precious fate that we can meet by chance in such a big world."

The water elf also lost his temper, "There is no coincidence in the world, only inevitability, including our meeting with you!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess was puzzled.

Anna said, "The fire elf watched the water and wind elves fighting for her, and she was happy to see the excitement. After all, this just proved that she had infinite charm, and she enjoyed this feeling."

Langdon asked, "Then what happened?"

Anna shrugged, "Then several people had a big fight, and they ran into the territory of the piranha plant. In order to save the trapped wind elf, the princess had one arm eaten by the piranha plant."

The children who were listening to the story were stunned because they did not expect this development.

Then, the children asked questions one after another:

"Does the princess's hand taste good!"

"What does it taste like!"

"Will it be crunchy!"

"The princess's hand must be very fragrant!"

...

Some of the children drooled as they talked, and there was excitement in their eyes, as if they had imagined the scene of tasting delicious food.

Anna noticed Bai Yao outside the crowd and waved her hand, "Doctor Bai!"

All the children turned around and greeted in unison: "Doctor Bai!"

Bai Yao smiled and distributed snacks to the children and asked Anna about the tower.

Anna took the snacks from Bai Yao and muttered, "Another tart." She

took a bite and it was indeed too sweet!

Anna paused and said, "I don't really know. I only know that the tower is on the other side of the stream. Legend has it that to reach the tower, you have to pay a price."

Bai Yao was curious, "What price?"

Anna took out a fairy tale book from her bag and flipped through it. "Got it! The stream will swallow up the most precious emotions of people crossing the two banks! Only true love can awaken everything!"

Bai Yao thought to himself that this plot really fits the setting of a fairy tale.

The sun was about to set, and the dusk painted the sky and the earth into the color of sunset, but the quarrel had not stopped.

Pierre and He Jin, who were usually calm, were now quarreling because of Sophia, because they had just discovered that Sophia had had close contact with each other besides themselves.

Sofia didn't care. She just slept with a few men for fun. Who knew these two men would take it so seriously?

Gerald tried to mediate, but Hejin and Pierre ridiculed him with words he couldn't understand. Now he could only stay with Anna and listen to their quarrel quietly.

Anna was a little brat. "Gerald, don't you need to reflect on why you are the only man in your team who didn't become Sofia's lover?"

There is no doubt that Sofia is a beautiful woman. In order to allow her body to better contact the magical elements in the air, Sofia always wears cool clothes. Many men can't walk when they see her beautiful figure.

Pierre is a clergyman, and Hegin is a half-blooded elf, but they also couldn't escape Sofia's charm.

But the three of them started a love triangle, and Gerald was completely out of the picture, as if he didn't understand the situation. In a sense, he was a little pitiful.

Gerald said righteously, "I have Miss Honey."

Anna rolled her eyes. From the beginning to the end, only Gerald kept saying that he had seen Miss Honey. She suspected that this was the object of Gerald's fantasy when he was lonely.

Speaking of Miss Honey, Gerald was so happy that pink bubbles could come out of his body. He wanted to rescue the princess quickly and complete the mission, and then he couldn't wait to meet Miss Honey.

Speaking of which, since he left the stream, he didn't get any response when he called Miss Honey to Xiaohua. Maybe Miss Honey had her own things to do.

Sophia had already painted her nails and found that the two men were still arguing. She said impatiently, "You guys keep arguing. I'll find a quiet place."

Not long after, Sophia's scream came from not far away.

Pierre and He Jin put aside their conflict for the time being and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

Gerald also took action. Anna said from behind: "Gerald, you don't have to get involved in the matter between the three of them."

Gerald said: "They are my teammates. There may be danger there. Anna, you wait here for us to come back!"

Facing the setting sun, Bai Yao took a shortcut home, so she needed to pass by the bank of the stream.

Unlike the stream in the daytime, at dusk, the stream was filled with a little yellow and gentle light, as if it was jumping and surging, as if it had life.

Suddenly, Bai Yao heard the sound of falling into the water. She raised her head and looked around. The stream was still slow, and there was no sign of anything falling.

After a while, Bai Yao realized that the sound came from the flower beside her ear. She raised her hand to touch the flower, and then she heard a painful gasp.

"Prince?"

The man over there seemed not to hear what she said clearly, but just heard her voice. The man suppressed the pain and said with joy, "Miss Honey!"

Then there was the sound of water splashing.

Bai Yao stopped where she was. She asked anxiously: "What happened to you?"

"I... I accidentally fell into the water."

Bai Yao subconsciously glanced at the stream again, and did not see any figure.

On the other side.

Gerald hid behind the tree. He sat on the ground with his back against the thick tree trunk. He turned his head quietly and raised his eyebrows. He could see the figure of the girl standing on the opposite bank.

The drops of water from the golden hair fell on his long eyelashes. He blinked his green eyes gently, and with a laborious movement, the sound of liquid dripping came from his body.

But he didn't care, his eyes were fixed on the figure on the other side.

That was Miss Honey. She seemed to be looking for her own location, but he hid well and she didn't find him.

Just like the first time they met, she was wearing the same green dress today, but the basket in her hand was not filled with fresh and beautiful flowers, but something else.

What would she be carrying?

It would be great if it was his favorite tartare.

Gerald smiled unconsciously, feeling that he seemed to be fanciful.

Bai Yao asked: "Where are you now?"

Gerald replied: "I'm where I can see the sunset."

What kind of answer is this?

Bai Yao said: "Have you encountered something unhappy?"

Gerald held the flower in his hand tighter, "Miss Honey, I'm confused. Since I can remember, everyone in the town has taught me to be a good person. They said that one day, I will become the chosen one who draws the Sword of Dawn, and then I will lead everyone to fight against evil and usher in a happy life."

He lowered his voice, "So I tried very hard to become such a person, and wanted to save everyone who was in misfortune."

Bai Yao: "Like a prince?"

Gerald shook his head quickly, "No, I'm not a prince, I'm just an ordinary person. Someone as noble as a prince... won't be me."

Bai Yao laughed out loud, and she called his name, "Prince."

Prince-prince.

A blush appeared on Gerald's pale face. He raised his eyes and looked at the figure in the afterglow of the setting sun shyly.

She said: "If being a kind and compassionate person is hard, then give up."

Gerald: "Give up?"

From childhood to adulthood, everyone he met taught him to persevere, and no one ever told him that he could choose to give up.

Bai Yao raised her hand and tucked the loose hair hanging by her ears. Her profile was more delicate under the halo. Her long black hair outlined the traces of the wind and softened the changes in light and shadow. "You don't need to consider other people's opinions. Just think about what kind of person you want to be, because Prince is already an adult. Even if you make the wrong choice, you will have the courage to bear the consequences, right?"

Gerald was stunned for a while, "What kind of person... do I want to be? But... but... what about the world? There are so many people in the world..."

"Prince, let me tell you a selfish idea in secret. The world is so big, but the change of day and night will never stop for me alone, so why should I care about what will happen to the world?" Bai Yao curved her eyebrows, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled brightly, "Whether you are great, selfish, kind, or evil, you are you."

"No matter what kind of person you want to be, as long as you are still my Prince, I will stand by you."

"So you don't have to consider so much."

"Don't think about the world, don't think about everyone, don't think about so many people..."

"You only need to think about yourself."

"Prince, be more selfish."

Her voice kept echoing in his ears, and spread with the gentle wind, as if driving away the smell of blood in the air.

Gerald sat in the shadow of the tree in a daze. The wound on his left arm had stopped bleeding due to the Sword of Dawn, but it could not change the fact that he was disabled.

The water and blood on his body mixed together, and the knight's uniform with gold and white interweaving became messy. Moreover, because of his disabled appearance at this time, he looked a little more terrifying.

This is why he hid.

He didn't want to scare her.

Gerald moved his body with difficulty and looked at the other side. The girl over there took a step forward, leaving only her back.

But the purple flower still has her cheerful voice, "Prince, I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll make you something delicious."

Gerald's tall figure curled up under the shadow of the tree, his green eyes were more lively than the spring in April, and there was a constant flash of light. He put the purple flower against his chest, his pale face drooped, and after a moment, he replied in a hoarse voice: "What will it be...delicious?"
