Chapter 137 Extra 2
This extra chapter is a mix of the little angel's memes from the serialization period (I want to see the systems playing together, I want to see Lao Yan and the lamb traveling together, I want to see a meme-based work (?)). I tried my best to combine everyone's meme suggestions, so the final general content is the story of Lao Yan and the lamb traveling together to another world for adventure. I used the Dala Bangba meme in case you don't understand. Let me explain. The beginning is the systems in the red envelope group playing Landlord hhhh. Because it's a meme, I'm giving it to everyone. The content is all in the preface. I should only need one or two jjb to buy the full 14,000-word content. Thank you all for your support along the way.
If there are any little angels who like this article, I would like to ask the author to collect it. If you like the new article in advance, please collect it as well. Please, it is really important to me qaq
Finally, and most importantly, in order not to affect everyone's reading experience, I will not mark them one by one, but mark them all: all the meme lyrics involved in this chapter are quoted from the song "Dala Bangba", and the plot is different from the song "Dala Bangba".
At the beginning of the article, I will post the copy of the next article first, and ask for column collection and pre-collection collection again qaq
The author has something to say: He Chen had experienced too much luck in his life, until one day he traveled through a book and became a popular and miserable character in a BL novel with the background of the entertainment industry.
Taking advantage of the fact that he is still a little-known figure in the entertainment industry at the beginning of the story, He Chen decides to keep to himself and remain obscure until the end of the original story. As the saying goes, as long as I have no ambition, no one will notice me!
When filming the Lunar New Year movie, each actor bought a lottery ticket as a lucky draw.
——A week later, hot search: He Chen, the actor from the movie "Five Million Dollars from Heaven", won five million in lottery!
While filming a martial arts drama, He Chen found a jade artifact in the mountains behind the crew and handed it over to the country.
——An actor named He accidentally discovered important cultural relics that were lost in my country during the war.
While filming a reality show, He Chen hid in a corner to avoid the camera and happened to meet two lost children.
——Shocked, a celebrity assisted the police in solving a kidnapping case while filming a reality show.
At some point, a sentence began to circulate on the Internet.
Repost He Chen, the human-shaped koi, and you too will get lucky
Koi He Chen: Hesitant to speak, hesitant to speak, jpg
...Superstition is bad.
Three years later, He Chen won the most authoritative and prestigious Best Actor award in the film and television industry. When he held the trophy in his hands, fans cheered and the entire internet was boiling!
He Chen: ...You may not believe it when I tell you this, but I don’t know what happened either, that’s all.
————
He Chen, a human-shaped koi fish, once traveled through a book and became the popular bottom in a sadistic and erotic novel.
The original owner relied on his amazing talent and looks to become a top star in the entertainment industry in just a few years. Countless men fell for his suit pants, but he also died in a love affair, with a miserable end.
He Chen: The hand holding the book is shaking slightly.jpg
Fortunately, when he traveled through the book, He Chen was just a popular young actor who had just emerged.
He decided from this moment on to stay away from the gossips of the entertainment industry and quietly become an unknown.
But he used every trick he could think of, yet he still enjoyed immense love and care, hurtling towards superstar status...
In this regard, the audience has something to say -
I just saw He Chen’s advertisement on TV. A cat that was lost for a week came back by itself. Can you believe it?
I just spent half an hour criticizing He Chen for making money online, and immediately caught a cold and had a fever and couldn't speak. Can you believe it?
As long as you praise him, good things will happen. Do you believe it?
In this regard, the bigwigs in the circle also have something to say -
I fell asleep listening to He Chen’s variety show and I didn’t suffer from insomnia?
The niche art film invested in He Chen became a hit in the blink of an eye?
Why is it that the better we treat He Chen, the luckier we become?
He Chen is such a great treasure in the world, no, he must be praised!
At this time, a big man holding Marxist dialectical materialism passed by.
Zhu Lu: Let’s reject superstition and start with me.
He Chen: Boss, you are right! Boss, save me!
A cool and materialistic CEO top x everyone loves the little koi bottom

【Apocalypse Survival System】: ...to two?
【Cultivation System】: Against the King!
【White Moonlight System】: The group leader is awesome!
【Apocalypse Survival System】:??? No
【Cultivation System】: Shunzi
【Cultivation System】: Four
[Cultivation System]: Finished. Haha, I'm still as sharp as ever. Well, old man, accept the bet and do the job.

【Male God System】: Small details
【White Moonlight System】: Not important
【Male God System】: [giving the boss a cigarette jpg]
【White Moonlight System】: [Pour water for the boss.jpg]
[Apocalypse Survival System]: You can't play like this! You're going too far!!! I'm reporting this to the higher-ups!
【Eating Watermelon System】: [What is this doing?jpg]
[Cultivation System]: What? This friend doesn't understand?
[Eating Watermelon System]: I don’t quite understand... Are you playing poker?
【Cultivation System】: Not bad
【Eating Watermelon System】: Don’t you need cards?
[White Moonlight System]: You don't understand this. Our system's computing power is very strong. Having no cards is better than having cards.
[Apocalypse Survival System]: You're talking nonsense! I wanted to say this when we were playing mahjong before. The group leader has won several times and dares to play all kinds of random cards. Did you get six reds in your mahjong?
[Male God System]: Ahem... after you pointed it out, didn't you just switch to playing Landlord? [Trying to argue jpg]
[Apocalypse Survival System]: Yeah, it's a Landlord game. Right at the start, four twos appeared, and I was wondering what was going on. You said it was two decks of cards, and I believed you. Now three kings have appeared. How do you explain that? You're just bullying me, an honest person. No, this is the honest system!
【Male God System】: [Looking at the sky jpg]
【White Moonlight System】: [Look at the ground jpg]
[Apocalypse Survival System]: In short, whoever of you wants to do this task can do it, don't even think about passing it on to me by cheating at cards!
[Cultivation System]: Stop arguing, stop arguing. As a system, we should have system awareness. Although this task is difficult, someone should complete it. How about this, we roll the dice?
[Cultivation System]: [Dice: 1]
【Cultivation System】: Whoever is bigger goes

[Male God System]: [Dice: 6]
[Apocalypse Survival System]: [Dice: 6]
【Eating Melon System】: [Dice: 6]
[Male God System]: ??? There's something wrong with this dice
【Apocalypse Survival System】:??? Why is there even a melon?
【Apocalypse Survival System】: Melon——
【Eating Watermelon System】: I'm just here to join in the fun! [Stupefiedjpg]
[White Moonlight System]: ...Then I won't shake it. [Farewell jpg]
[Cultivation System]: Very good, it seems that the person who can complete the task has been found.
[Cultivation System]: The God of Men system lost its host due to its previous stupidity, and is now unemployed and unable to complete its mission. We all know that the Melon Eating System is just a random human friend. Therefore, the Doomsday Survival System, God will give this person a great mission...
[Male God System]: Boss, you're right! My host is still at the melon!
【Doomsday Survival System】: What you said seems to make sense, but
[Apocalypse Survival System]: Just my host? ? ? My host, who has so many problems but is cute and can't accomplish anything important?
【Apocalypse Survival System】: [You killed me, jpg]
[Melon-eating system]: ...I'm still confused. Is there any kind system that can tell me what exactly happened?
【Cultivation System】: Well, in short, it is like this
[Cultivation System]: The superior system has received a message that an emergency has occurred in a small world and a system is urgently needed to take its host to solve it. Unfortunately, no system is currently idle, so a system that is currently performing a task is needed to take its host to temporarily complete the task in this world and then return to its own world.
[Cultivation System]: This task was originally assigned directly to either the Male God System or the Doomsday Survival System. According to the main system's estimates, both should have completed their tasks and been idle by this time. However, due to various well-known unforeseen events, the Doomsday Survival System is now trapped in its own apocalyptic world, idle and enjoying dog food all day. The host of the Male God System was assigned to the Melon-eating System, making it impossible for him to complete the task.
[Cultivation System]: However, relatively speaking, compared to the Male God System which is absolutely impossible because it has no host, the Doomsday Survival System at least still has a host. It is just relatively impossible, so we unanimously recommend the Doomsday Survival System to complete this task.
[Apocalypse Survival System]: Is it my fault for being unlucky? Is it my fault for the host's disobedience? Why do I have to bear all this? [About to cry jpg]
【Eating Watermelon System】: Hey, don’t cry
[Eating Watermelon System]: I am the one who got 6 here, can I... complete this task?
…
So, on a sunny afternoon, the newly crowned film star Lu Zixi, who had just finished filming his new movie, finalized the most important schedule for the next period of time while chatting on the phone.
Travel through time.
Yes, time travel.
Under the premise that all the major systems repeatedly assured him that time travel would not affect the timeline of the real world, and that he only needed to find a deserted place and "whoosh" away, and "whoosh" back after completing the mission, and that the flashing time would not exceed one second, Lu Zixi, out of friendship and sympathy, softened his heart and agreed to help with the mission, provided that Yan Yunzhen, his "host", also agreed to the proposal.
Although he found out after he agreed that the system would not cry at all, the Doomsday Survival System sent an emoticon saying it was about to cry, but it was just an ordinary emoticon.
Lu Zixi sighed, rolled around in the sunroom again, turned himself over like a fried egg, squinted his eyes, touched his phone, and called Yan Yunzhen.
Yan Yunzhen seemed to be very busy, and without much hesitation, he agreed to Lu Zixi's proposal.
"Did you not hear clearly?" Lu Zixi was quite worried. After all, agreeing to everything her boyfriend said without even listening was something that someone like Yan Yunzhen would do. "I'm not talking about traveling, or going on vacation, or what to eat tonight. I'm talking about..."
Lu Zixi was afraid of being overheard by others, so he deliberately didn't finish his words.
"I heard it clearly." The voices on Yan Yunzhen's end were very noisy. He seemed to take a few steps to the side, and the surroundings gradually quieted down. "I see. If you want to go, go ahead. If it's not dangerous, you can also treat it as a vacation."
"I heard it's not dangerous. The safety level is S2, just slightly lower than the S1 level of ordinary urban missions." Lu Zixi honestly explained all the information he had learned. "It seems to be a Western fantasy background, and it's a costume. The character you traveled into is set to have very strong combat values, with system bonuses, so it can be said to be very safe. My friend also promised that he would be online at any time, and if you have any problems, you can ask him for help..."
And it doesn't peek.
The doomsday survival system at that time made such a solemn promise, but Lu Zixi thought about it and swallowed back the nonsense.
I am already a system, so what else can I do to allow it to spy on me?
"Even if it's not here, I can guarantee your safety." Yan Yunzhen's voice was calm, yet it made people feel at ease for no reason. "Send me a copy of the background information, I'll study it. Wait for me at home, I'll be back in the evening."
——————
night.
As soon as the clock hands passed eight o'clock, Lu Zixi saw the white lion dog Yan Xiaoyang lying on the blanket raise his ears, roll over and get up, and when he rushed to the door, he bumped into Yan Yunzhen who came home late.
Lu Zixi suddenly laughed and tilted his head back from the sofa to look.
Yan Yunzhen, who is usually very elegant, held his windbreaker with one hand and used the other hand to hold Yan Xiaoyang who jumped up. He also wanted to change into slippers at the same time, and he was unusually flustered.
After Yan Yunzhen finished the matters at hand, Lu Zixi was still looking up at the excitement with great interest. It was not until Yan Yunzhen came closer and closer that he realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to retract his head, Yan Yunzhen had already walked in front of him.
"Are you laughing at me?" Yan Yunzhen pinched the tip of his nose, then held his chin with his fingers to prevent him from lowering his head. He kissed him lightly on the lips and said with a half-smile, "You're getting bolder and bolder."
"You spoiled me, do you have any objections?" Lu Zixi struggled a few times, and seeing that he couldn't break free, he simply gave up and protested vaguely.
His eyes were wide open, and he looked innocent and confident, which made Yan Yunzhen laugh: "How dare I."
"I knew you wouldn't dare." Lu Zixi smiled ostentatiously, imitating Yan Yunzhen's way and kissing him back. Before he could grab her waist and deepen the kiss, she quickly hid from his arms, "...By the way, you haven't eaten yet! I'll go make you some food!"
"I've eaten." Yan Yunzhen continued moving.
"Where did you eat?" Lu Zixi continued to hide outside.
"Yuanhong Canteen." Yan Yunzhen's hand had already touched his back.
"You even went to the cafeteria in person?" Lu Zixi felt a little funny and struggled to change the subject. In the end, he could only helplessly say, "Hey, stop! You didn't forget that you have something to do tonight!"
"I remember." Yan Yunzhen paused for a moment, then continued casually, "Tomorrow's time is free too, so we can go tomorrow."
"I've already made an appointment..."
"I had an appointment tonight, but I turned it down."
"With whom?" Lu Zixi was almost willing to give in, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Who else could it be? Either investors or people from other film and television companies. They are all old men at least twenty years older than me." Yan Yunzhen suddenly felt helpless.
He also knew that according to Lu Zixi's free and easy personality, he was definitely not jealous on purpose, but this little guy seemed to think it was fun to watch him being unable to defend himself because of jealousy. He had been becoming more and more jealous recently, and Yan Yunzhen was indeed not good at defending himself, so he could only let him have fun.
Forget it, what’s the saying? If you don’t agree, just fight.
Yan Yunzhen really couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply picked up Lu Zixi and carried him sideways. He didn't see Lu Zixi startled, but heard him laugh even louder.
"Old Yan, you're so funny." Lu Zixi put one hand around Yan Yunzhen's neck and lazily stroked the short hair on the back of his head with his fingers. "You're even funnier than Yan Xiaoyang."
...Okay, it's impossible for a domineering president and his little darling wife to exist, and they will never exist. Only a wife-doting president and his daring little soldier can fall in love together, like this.
——————
So after Lu Zixi hurriedly said goodbye to the Doomsday Survival System, the two of them didn't officially prepare to start their journey until noon the next morning.
"Are you nervous?" Yan Yunzhen asked softly.
"Why are you so nervous? It's not like we haven't experienced this before. It's easier said than done." Lu Zixi shrugged. "It's just a matter of closing your eyes and opening them again."
Who knew that as soon as he said this, Yan Yunzhen's expression changed slightly and he grabbed his hand in his palm.
Lu Zixi was a bit confused at first, but suddenly he remembered the scene when he first traveled through time: he crashed into a cliff without any warning and died tragically in the car accident. For a long time afterwards, he was shrouded in the threat of death...
It’s no wonder that Yan Yunzhen suddenly became nervous because of him. If it were him, he would probably feel like he was facing a great enemy.
"Don't worry, it's okay this time." Lu Zixi took the initiative to interlock his fingers with him and comforted him, "Don't you have me this time?"
Yan Yunzhen sighed and said nothing more.
"Ahem, um, excuse me, let me introduce myself. I'm the Doomsday Survival System, a good friend of Gua." Seeing that the two were silent, the Doomsday Survival System, which had just come online, took the initiative to speak. "Because Gua told me that it's very difficult for humans to perform the system's calculations with their brain capacity, I will be the one to lead the cable and start it on this journey. After that, I will provide remote assistance by logging online from time to time, but the main storyline still needs to be completed by the two of you. Are you ready?"
Both of them responded.
"Okay! Then, 3-2-1-"
Lu Zixi suddenly felt dizzy, but his hand was held in Yan Yunzhen's palm from beginning to end, which made him feel at ease.
But after a long while, he still felt a little weightless. He waited and waited but there was no instruction from the Doomsday Survival System, so he could only open his eyes on his own.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was stunned for a moment.
He saw a pair of very light warrior shoes appear in front of him, followed by leggings, then a sword, then armor, and finally...
A pair of familiar eyes under the black iron mask.
Yan Yunzhen took off the mask, held it in his hand, and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"No, why am I upside down?" Lu Zixi was very puzzled. "Also, aren't I wearing clothes? How come Old Yan has changed his clothes so quickly? And I haven't even turned right side up yet?"
"Ahem, don't pay attention to these small details!" The voice of the Doomsday Survival System sounded at the right time. "In short, this outfit is similar to the clothes given to you in the Novice Village after entering the game. We can't let you two come naked, right? It would be even weirder if you showed up in modern clothes, so just leave it at that. Don't worry about it! As for you..."
Lu Zixi tried to look up, and seeing Yan Yunzhen's still complicated eyes, he immediately had a bad premonition: "Mo ah..."
"Ah..." The Doomsday Survival System hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Have you heard of... Aladdin's lamp?"
————
After some friendly communication, Lu Zixi finally understood his current situation.
The world they inhabited was originally a harmonious and peaceful fairytale world. But from some unknown day, a terrifying dragon set its sights on this city-state. Its enormous wings, as it spread their wings, have become an indelible shadow over the people's heads, causing panic among the people.
The panic reached its peak when a giant dragon kidnapped the princess in broad daylight. The queen, who loved her daughter dearly, cried all day long, and the king was forced to put aside state affairs and make eradicating the evil dragon his most important goal.
He promised the whole world that whoever could capture and kill the dragon would be rewarded with endless gold, silver and jewelry, and the princess would be betrothed to him, making him the future ruler of the city-state.
Everything should have developed in the direction of a normal and clichéd fairy tale: the brave man volunteered to defeat the dragon and save the princess, the king was happy to reward him, the brave man and the princess got married, and they lived happily ever after - but the brave man failed at the first link.
"After receiving orders from the king, he climbed over one hill after another, and then suddenly disappeared! Can you believe it?" The Doomsday Survival System was excited. "I have never seen such an unreliable hero! The fate of the country and the life of the princess depend on him, and he just disappeared like that!"
"Could he have met with an accident?" Lu Zixi put forward his own guess.
"Impossible! Do you know what the protagonist's halo is?" The Doomsday Survival System quickly refuted Lu Zixi's conjecture. "Even if the world is destroyed, the heroes in the fairy tale world will never die a mediocre death!"
...Although it seems very childish, it does not seem to be without reason.
Lu Zixi couldn't question his friend's expertise as a system, so he could only go along with it. "So, this means that this hero, for some unknown reason, suddenly deserted the battlefield, and as a result, the world line of this world couldn't be reunited and collapsed? Old Yan and I traveled through time this time just to solve this problem?"
"That's right!" The Doomsday Survival System was clearly pleased with Lu Zixi's comprehension. "As for your host, you've traveled here as a warrior replacing a fugitive, about to go to the palace to present yourself. And you, originally meant to be the host's brain system, traveled here, but you're actually a human, and there's no place for you in this world..."
"So, under the precise calculations of the system data, you became this Aladdin's lamp... oh no, the shield," the Doomsday Survival System said. "You felt weightless just now because your boyfriend held you upside down, with the little end facing up, which is exactly the opposite direction of a shield."
Yan Yunzhen held the shield in his arms and nodded.
Lu Zixi, who was held horizontally in his arms, said: "...Then I really thank you."
"Of course, you can also materialize it, so that it won't be affected by the shield's own direction," the Doomsday Survival System suggested, "just like Aladdin's magic lamp."
"Okay, you teach me..."
"No need." Yan Yunzhen held the shield, stood up, and strode forward. "We'll talk about it later."
Doomsday Survival System: "? What do you mean?"
Lu Zixi understood what was going on and coughed awkwardly.
Okay, hug me if you want. This man is quite stingy.
——————
Yan Yunzhen didn't know what he was thinking. He held the shield horizontally in his arms in a somewhat awkward way, turned around and walked out.
The old wooden door was pushed open with a creaky sound. Yan Yunzhen had just taken a few steps outside when Lu Zixi was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight and couldn't open his eyes for a long time.
It was not until Yan Yunzhen used his clothes to shield him from the sunlight that Lu Zixi narrowed his eyes, which were about to burst into tears, and looked at the scenes around him in this world.
Pushing open the wooden door, a few steps along the leaf-lined path led to a sun-drenched, spacious avenue paved with large bluestone slabs. The carriages passing by each had a rounded cabin, resembling the pumpkin carriages that princesses in fairy tales would ride. The horses and cabins were brightly colored, and the horses all looked very clean and adorable. Lu Zixi even spotted a pink unicorn standing in front of one carriage.
The shops around include a pastry shop shaped like a candy house, a blacksmith shop that looks like a giant cartoon hammer, and a clothing store with all kinds of wonderful clothes and the owner has long elf ears. And wherever Lu Zixi can see, everyone's face is filled with a happy smile, and even the sunshine is as sweet as honey.
Even though Lu Zixi himself was an actor, had studied and analyzed many movies, and had filmed on many types of sets, he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this real and natural fairy tale scene, and even forgot to feel embarrassed for Yan Yunzhen who was holding the shield horizontally.
In comparison, Yan Yunzhen, who had traveled through time many times, looked much calmer.
He didn't look around much, but when he realized that Lu Zixi was very interested in the surrounding environment, he slowed down his pace on his own initiative, but the expression on his face was still indifferent, as if he had written "Keep away from strangers" on his face.
But what surprised Lu Zixi was that although Yan Yunzhen habitually kept an expressionless face and strangely held a huge shield that looked very heavy across his body, no one was surprised by this.
Everyone was like a worker on an assembly line. When they saw Yan Yunzhen approaching, they smiled warmly and loudly solicited customers. But when Yan Yunzhen walked away, no one cared, as if the meaning of their existence was just to create a bustling atmosphere. As for whether others would respond, it was not within their consideration.
"This is really a bit strange..." After passing a very similar-looking cookie shop owner for the fifth time, Lu Zixi finally couldn't help but speak. "Don't you think so? It seems like we keep passing by the same scenery, the same people, and having the same conversations... Is this a fairy tale world?"
"This is a fairy tale world." Yan Yunzhen suddenly spoke, and Lu Zixi realized that Yan Yunzhen had been observing his surroundings carefully, but he did not show any expression for others to notice.
"If we say that a novel constructs a complete world, as if someone really lived in that world and experienced real joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, then fairy tales are exactly the opposite," Yan Yunzhen said. "Except for children, everyone knows that this is a fake world. Fairy tales use only a few words to construct short stories, giving children inspiration. The characters are generally flat and simple, so what we see now is the real fairy tale world: beautiful, simple and stereotyped."
"...He's right." The Doomsday Survival System hesitated for a moment before speaking, "How dare your boyfriend steal my line! This is something only our system can show off!"
Lu Zixi was immediately amused: "Because my boyfriend is really awesome!"
Yan Yunzhen moved his hand, perhaps wanting to touch Lu Zixi's hair, but in the end he could only gently touch the small corner of the shield.
"...You touched my Adam's apple." Lu Zixi blushed, but he was now like an ice-cold shield, so it was not noticeable.
Yan Yunzhen raised his eyebrows and simply kissed her there.
Lu Zixi, unable to move, said: "!"
"You'd better behave yourself!" The warning had no deterrent effect.
"It depends on your performance." Yan Yunzhen patted the top of the shield, which should be the head.
After a while, Yan Yunzhen said, "Your shield is so hot."
"You talk so much!"
“…”
"Wait! That armor you're wearing isn't human-transformed, is it?"
"……no."
"……That's good."
…
The two chatted with the system all the way and unknowingly walked to the bottom of the city gate. Yan Yunzhen looked up to read the notice, took it off and showed it to the guards, and successfully walked into the palace.
This is like being in a fairy tale world, where a person can chat with his shield all the time and no one thinks anything is wrong, Lu Zixi thought.
Yan Yunzhen went through two almost procedural inspections and finally walked to the king's seat.
The king in the main hall was scowling, like an NPC stuck in a fixed position, doing nothing but circling in circles, repeating the same words: "The dragon has captured the princess. Whoever can defeat the dragon and rescue the princess will own the future of this kingdom!"
Yan Yunzhen didn't say much to him and handed over the list of brave men. When the king saw it, he didn't care who he was or where he came from. He immediately called him a warrior and summoned civil and military ministers. He made a case on the spot and demanded that the kingdom and the princess be handed over to this suddenly appeared warrior.
"The princess and the kingdom are unnecessary." Yan Yunzhen glanced down at Lu Zixi in his arms and immediately stated, "You only need to prepare a fast horse, a good sword, and a heavy shield for me."
Although the king in the fairy tale was simple, he was not an idiot. He pointed at the shield lying in a strange way in Yan Yunzhen's arms and said hesitantly: "Don't you have one? It looks quite heavy."
"This piece won't do." Yan Yunzhen said frankly, "This is my lover."
Lu Zixi: “…”
The king's simple mind took a long time to react, but his fairy tale worldview still prevented him from understanding what was happening before his eyes. He could only say, "But no warrior would carry two shields. That defies the logic of bravery."
"That's fine." Yan Yunzhen didn't intend to argue with the king any further. "Then please give me a sword. I don't think this one is enough to resist the dragon."
"Deal!" The king was obviously very satisfied with his straightforwardness. He rubbed his hands and smiled amiably. "I haven't asked you yet, Warrior, what's your name?"
"My name is..."
Yan Yunzhen thought for a while, but before he could come up with a name, the Doomsday Survival System suddenly became excited: "Your name is Dara Bengba Bande Bedi Budobiruong!"
"What?" Yan Yunzhen was stunned.
"This is my host's favorite song. It's extremely magical and brainwashing. Now I have learned it. I want to make my dream come true. Tell me quickly!" The Doomsday Survival System said expectantly.
"Okay." Yan Yunzhen readily agreed and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Dara Bengba Bande Bedi Budobiruong."
The king was stunned: "...Say it again?"
"I say," Yan Yunzhen said patiently, "Your Majesty, my name is Dara Bengba Bande Beidi Budo Biruong."
——————
Amidst the welcome of the people and civil and military officials, the brave Yan Yunzhen set off with his unusually long name, riding the fastest horse, holding a shield in front of his arms and a sword on his back.
"Even though it looks weird... you're still handsome." Lu Zixi tried hard to be serious, and after suppressing his laughter several times along the way, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, what are you doing! I've already materialized, can't you just carry the shield on your back!"
"No." Even though Lu Zixi laughed out loud, Yan Yunzhen still insisted, "I have to ensure your safety."
Lu Zixi's laughter suddenly stopped: "Isn't this a fairy tale world? Is there really any fatal danger?"
He thought the most dangerous thing was just like Snow White's stepmother's poisoned apple, and that Prince Charming could come to save her.
"Who knows?" Before Yan Yunzhen could say anything, the Doomsday Survival System spoke first. "The □□ in the long, long time ago was also very terrifying... Have you heard of Mother Goose's nursery rhymes?"
"……No?"
So on the rest of the journey, Lu Zixi listened to all kinds of black and horror nursery rhymes told by the Doomsday Survival System, from Mother Goose to Ten Rabbits, and from Sister Carrying a Doll to Who Killed the Robin. He was so scared that he kept burrowing into Yan Yunzhen's arms. Until dusk fell, he had no place to cling to, and he was shaking with fear.
"Don't scare him." Yan Yunzhen was a little helpless, "We still have to go camping later."
"Aren't you very brave, melon?" The Doomsday Survival System said in disbelief. "I feel like you're even less courageous than my host. After all, he wasn't as scared as you when he saw the zombies."
"He's not afraid of anything, just ghost stories," Yan Yunzhen explained. "He loves to imagine and scare himself. Maybe if he really encounters a zombie, he won't be afraid anymore."
Lu Zixi nodded vigorously, his entire shield shaking with fear, to show his agreement.
"Well, I still have a lot of fine products in stock that I haven't told you yet." The Doomsday Survival System looked unsatisfied. "Don't be afraid, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and there are still ten little black people's stories to tell."
“No need!!”
The sun will rise as usual. Although this is the truth, Lu Zixi still didn't sleep well the whole night.
Fortunately, the night sky in this world is beautiful, just like the bright starry sky without light pollution many years ago.
Lu Zixi lay in Yan Yunzhen's arms, sleeping in the open air, watching the sunset, the sunrise, the stars, the moon and the magical creatures. Although he didn't sleep very well, he was surprised by the novelty and finally felt that this experience was very wonderful.
If it weren’t for the Doomsday Survival System’s eagerness to tell ghost stories.
Lu Zixi was a weakling who wanted to listen but was afraid to. As soon as the sun rose, he asked the Doomsday Survival System to speak quickly. When he saw it was getting dark, he started to tremble. He did this over and over again for two or three days. Yan Yunzhen couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the Doomsday Survival System to stop talking. Only then did Lu Zixi have a good sleep.
When he opened his eyes, Yan Yunzhen was already standing in front of a cave.
"This is……"
"While you were asleep, your friends and I discovered giant footprints," Yan Yunzhen explained. "We followed the footprints all the way up and saw many fallen trees, some with fresh scratches. We initially concluded that this was a sign of a giant dragon, but we don't know why it maintained such low-altitude flight."
"Then we chased all the way up and saw this cave." The Doomsday Survival System also explained, "There was a monster guarding the cave entrance, but it seemed to be seriously injured and not very powerful. After being frightened twice, it dropped the treasure and ran away. Therefore, you didn't wake up during the whole battle..."
Lu Zixi coughed awkwardly.
"...Then, before we could see what had fallen from the monster, a gigantic claw stretched out from the cave, and with a swish, the pile of shiny objects disappeared." The Doomsday Survival System continued, "Since it's said that dragons love shiny treasures, we suspect there might actually be a dragon living here."
As soon as the Doomsday Survival System finished speaking, a huge white mist suddenly shot out from the cave like a cannonball. Yan Yunzhen dodged in time and was not contaminated by it, but the horse was already frightened and let out a long neigh and ran away.
"Dragon Breath." Yan Yunzhen walked forward, felt the saddle with his hand, and whispered, "Dragon Breath is the breath of a dragon. Anyone touched by it will be frozen, paralyzed, and succumb to the dragon's pressure. Dragon Breath is usually the opening move of a dragon's attack."
After Yan Yunzhen finished explaining, he frowned, blocked the sword in front of his chest with his backhand, put the shield behind him, and waited intently for the arrival of the dragon.
Lu Zixi was helpless: "...Your system really knows how to increase the difficulty artificially! If he wears me as a shield, will he still use it? You are really something."
"What does this have to do with our system? It's all random..."
Just as the Doomsday Survival System was about to protest, Yan Yunzhen raised a finger, signaling it to be silent and to deal with the dragon first.
The cave returned to peace, and for a moment it was so quiet that even the sound of wind blowing through the leaves could be heard clearly.
Just when Yan Yunzhen was feeling confused, a petite figure suddenly emerged from the cave like a whirlwind.
"This is..." Lu Zixi was shocked and blurted out, "Princess?"
Inside the cave, a huge shadow slowly moved, and a pretty girl ran out from behind it.
The girl had long, wavy, golden hair that reached her waist, the kind only found in fairy tale princesses. Her eyes were as blue as the clearest ocean, her skin was fairer than snow, and she wore a fluffy, layered cake-like princess dress with glittering, gorgeous crystal high heels on her feet. She looked like a princess who had just run out of a picture book.
"This doesn't seem to be what I imagined..." the Doomsday Survival System muttered, "The princess looks quite energetic. I thought we were given a scenario about saving a delicate princess being bullied by a dragon... Doesn't seem right?"
Lu Zixi was also stunned and nodded in agreement.
Then the next second, something even more subversive happened.
The princess raised her slender leg and kicked the dragon's armor without caring about her image. There was a loud "clang".
The giant dragon, who was kicked and fell down, said: "Woo."
Lu Zixi: “…”
This script seems really wrong!
The princess acted as if she didn't see the person coming. She put her hands on her hips and scolded loudly without any manner.
"I told you to be quiet and fool them away, but you insisted on sneezing!"
"Woo."
"It's okay to just sneeze, but you actually scared yourself to death. Are you ashamed of yourself?"
"Woo."
"Hurry up and get out!"
The giant dragon slowly turned around and saw Yan Yunzhen standing there with a sword in his hand and a shield on his back. He stood there upright, then let out a painful "woof" and turned around to crawl back.
"I can't beat him! I might as well die!"
Yan Yunzhen: "..."
I didn't know I was that scary?
However, the princess blocked the cave and would not let the dragon go back to the house. The dragon could only turn back slowly, hiding in the cave timidly and cowering, with only a pair of cowardly eyes showing.
Although the eyes accounted for a small proportion of the dragon's head, they were already as big as the headlights of a truck. Lu Zixi was really worried that if the dragon got scared, it would eat everyone present in one bite.
Yan Yunzhen obviously had this concern as well, so he stood a little further away and said, "Hello, I am a brave man who was ordered by the king to rescue the princess."
The dragon was quite polite, nodding slowly and extending its claws: "Hello, hello ...
"...Why are you stuttering out of fear..."
When the dragon heard Lu Zixi say this, he got angry on the spot: "I, I, I, just, just, just, was ...
"...Okay, sorry, no need to explain, just hurry up."
The dragon looked at them for a moment, but seemed to lose his temper and took the initiative to move in. "Please come in."
Yan Yunzhen looked at Lu Zixi who was floating in spirit form beside him, and Lu Zixi looked at him in surprise.
The behavior of the dragon and the princess was so abnormal. Not only was it different from what they had imagined before, it was so different that at this moment, the two of them had no idea which direction the situation would develop.
"It's okay, come in." The princess seemed to have anticipated their hesitation and walked out from the depths of the cave. She looked much calmer than when she was beating up the dragon. "I can sense that you are 'that kind of people' as well."
"What kind of person?" Lu Zixi was a little confused.
"You're different from everyone else, aren't you?" The princess pointed to her head. "From your thoughts to your personalities... you're completely different."
Lu Zixi suddenly understood.
"Let's go in." He said to Yan Yunzhen, "I have a feeling it should be fine."
——————
Yan Yunzhen followed the dragon and walked into the huge and simple cave.
"Every dragonlet, when it's born, is placed in a naturally formed cave to hatch. When the dragonlet grows up, this will be our future home." The dragon explained, "But I might be a little different - I've never seen my mother."
"So I don't know what a dragon should look like. I just grew up the way I like."
The dragon pointed to the dilapidated wooden box in the corner. Excess jewels flowed out of the lid that could not be closed at all. Pearls, agates, gold and diamonds were scattered all over the floor, but Yan Yunzhen just took a look and imitated the princess, sitting on a relatively stable place on the box.
"You're the second human I've met who doesn't like my treasure. My treasure was passed down to me by my mother, but there are always people who want to take it away from me under the banner of justice. I'm curious, do they have no mother?" The dragon's eyes widened, growing from the size of truck lights to the size of streetlights. "You are all unique people."
"Most people in this world think and live with the same mindset, living in shallow, stereotyped ways, in their natural identities." The princess sat on a high treasure chest, swinging her legs. "But I'm different. I seem to have felt since I was a child that I shouldn't be a princess. I don't want to live like that, to be the object of everyone's worship. I yearn for freedom."
"So when the dragon came to catch me, I didn't resist at all. I was so happy. I had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. I didn't need a warrior to save me. I wanted to ride the dragon and have adventures." The princess said as she slapped the dragon who was munching on snacks. "Just eat, don't smack your lips! Don't drop any crumbs! Cleaning up is a hassle!"
The dragon shuddered with fear and quickly closed its huge mouth to eat.
Lu Zixi: “…”
It's really a wonder. Is this the aesthetics of slender violence?
Yan Yunzhen was not affected at all. He was silent for a while, then turned the topic back to his mission: "But taking you back is my mission, and it's also my mission. In this world, everyone has their own mission."
There was silence in the cave for a moment.
Lu Zixi understood what Yan Yunzhen was saying.
According to Yan Yunzhen's own personality, he actually firmly believes that man can conquer nature, otherwise he would not have disobeyed the system's task route, nor would he have been willing to believe that Lu Zixi was not dead after his death, and would not have been determined to find the truth.
But along the way, Lu Zixi also discovered that this was a fairy tale world, different from the complex and multifaceted world he lived in. Everyone was a gear in the chain of the fairy tale world, and everyone had a role they had to play. The princess was no exception. If one person went off track, the consequence would be the total collapse of the entire world.
They were sent here to save this fairy tale world that was about to collapse due to the warriors' defection - but the real reason could not be said directly.
The dragon looked around and saw that no one spoke. After swallowing the last bite of the snack, he timidly said, "Yes, yes, that's what I told her. Everyone has their own destiny. Kidnapping the princess and being killed is my destiny..."
The princess stared into the dragon's eyes and interrupted it: "Even if you don't want to die?"
The dragon tried to avoid the princess's gaze at first, but finally hesitated for a moment under her gaze, nodded slowly, and suddenly a tear shed.
"I haven't done anything bad. I just want to eat my dessert in peace. Sometimes I scare people when I exchange treasures for dessert, but I don't mean to..." The dragon choked, "I don't know when it started, but it seems like a voice appeared in my mind, telling me to kidnap the princess, then wait here for the hero to come, fight him, and finally die... But I don't want to..."
The princess grew impatient and slapped it: "If you don't want to die, don't do it! Why are you crying?! Don't bow your head, or your crown will fall off! Don't cry, or the enemy will laugh!"
As she spoke, the princess took out a crooked crown from a box beside her and put it on the dragon.
The dragon looked at the princess docilely and lovingly, then turned sideways and touched her delicate little hand.
Doomsday Survival System: "...What can I say, respect love?"
Lu Zixi: "...No, what I want to say is...why can't I escape the non-mainstream quotes here!"
At the critical moment, Yan Yunzhen was still relatively rational. He pondered for a moment and then steered the conversation back on track: "To be honest, I didn't know there were people in this world who didn't want to 'be themselves'. But now it seems that there might be more than one person like you who are unwilling to accept the arrangements of fate."
Lu Zixi also began to react.
When a hero defected from this world, another warrior was immediately sent to maintain world stability; but this world also had a rebellious princess who refused to return home, and the superior system did not arrange for another princess to appear, which meant...
"In some corner of this world, there may be a girl who hopes to be a princess, or who is qualified to play the role of a princess, but was not born a princess?" Lu Zixi put forward his own guess.
Yan Yunzhen and he were in sync, nodded, and added to the princess: "But you have to make sure you don't regret it, because if we find her and you exchange lives with her, it will be impossible to become a princess again."
But the princess smiled.
"You don't understand. As a princess, I must be graceful and virtuous. I can't laugh loudly, run around wildly, or get angry. I must be loving and kind. I can't do anything I want that princesses can't do. I can't communicate with the people around me. I can only sit in the palace, and every day seems to be no different from the day before."
"During the time I was out, I saw a lot of beautiful sights, met a lot of interesting people and things, and even a dragon," the princess patted the dragon again, "and also met this timid friend who has his own ideas."
The dragon nuzzled her affectionately.
Yan Yunzhen and Lu Zixi looked at each other and realized that they had made up their minds.
"Okay, I'll help you." Yan Yunzhen said, "I believe people have the right to choose their own lives."
——————
When Yan Yunzhen walked out of the cave, the night sky was already as bright as a mirror.
Although the princess and the dragon kindly invited Yan Yunzhen and his interesting shield to stay one more night, the two of them discussed with the system and felt that the turmoil in this world should end as soon as possible, so they finally went out under the moonlight.
"The more I think about it, the more I think what Gua said makes sense," the Doomsday Survival System said. "Since this is a world, it must have a closed logical line. For every rebellious princess who wants to escape, there must be an elegant princess who has wandered into the mortal world. We just need to find that princess and return her to the palace, and everything in this world line will come to a close."
"I think what I said makes sense," Lu Zixi agreed, then changed the subject, "But I have another question. This world doesn't seem very small. If we keep running around like headless chickens, when will we ever find the girl we want to find?"
"I've thought of this a long time ago! I asked my host, and that guy's strength is his wild imagination." The Doomsday Survival System said excitedly, "Let me show you the lyrics of that song."
Lu Zixi and Yan Yunzhen came over to look together, and when they saw the "holy moonlight guiding the way forward", they suddenly understood.
"Let's try our best. No one knows what fairy tale this world is from. If nothing works, just try anything that looks similar." The Doomsday Survival System said, "Follow the moon! Let's go!"
The moon rises and sets, and the morning sun rises.
Yan Yunzhen rode his horse over the last steep mountain and finally saw the hillside where the sun had just risen at the edge of the world.
Unknown wild flowers were flying all over the sky, green grass was spreading on the small hillside, and a girl in a coarse dress was sitting quietly on the grass.
The timid and easily frightened sika deer lay obediently beside the girl, the gray rabbit's basket was filled with overflowing fresh mushrooms, and the tall ancient tree quietly bent its back, covering the petite girl in its green shade. Everything was as quiet as a painting.
Although the girl did not speak, at this moment everyone present realized that they seemed to have found the right person.
Yan Yunzhen was still relatively cautious and pretended to go forward to ask for directions. The girl's answer was very polite and her movements were very elegant, but there was an unconcealable surprise in her eyes.
"Excuse me, but our little village has never been visited by outsiders since the beginning of recorded history." The girl's brows were filled with unconcealed worry. "So, may I ask what brings you here this time?"
Seeing that she asked this, Yan Yunzhen did not hide anything and readily introduced the purpose of his visit.
"...That's roughly it. But being a princess isn't entirely a pleasure; it's more of a responsibility and a confinement. For example, you need to shoulder the responsibilities of a princess and can't do whatever you want. The palace is also very small, and the people you meet are very limited, and so on."
The girl looked back at her village and said calmly, "If this country needs me, I'm willing to do my best. The problem you mentioned is nothing to me. Compared to the palace, the village is smaller, and the people I meet are more limited. I can't climb the mountains in front of me on my own, so what's the difference between a palace and a village?"
"So are you willing to help us?" Yan Yunzhen asked.
"It's my honor to be able to help others." The girl lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed gracefully. "I have no parents. I was nurtured by the natural creatures on the hillside. Therefore, wherever this land and this country need me, I will go there. This is the value of my life and my lifelong belief."
"It's just..." The girl hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Before you, there was a brave man who took the wrong path and found his way here. He was seriously injured when he defeated the monster, and I've been taking care of him recently. If I want to leave, I have to take him with me, okay?"
"Sure!" Lu Zixi and Yan Yunzhen looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes. "That's great! We must take him with us!"
——————
The group walked and stopped for a long time, and finally sat together in front of the dragon's cave.
With the brave man's introduction, the group understood the whole story.
After the princess was captured, a brave man who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was born with supernatural powers volunteered to rescue the princess. However, before encountering the dragon, he was repeatedly besieged by powerful monsters. Finally, he rolled down the cliff in an injured state and was found by a girl in the village and taken away to be cared for.
As he took care of her day after day, the brave man gradually fell in love with the elegant and kind girl and was unwilling to leave her side. However, he was burdened with the responsibility of saving the princess, which made the already seriously injured brave man fall into entanglement and self-condemnation.
In the end, he decided to wait until his wounds healed, then set out to slay the dragon and rescue the princess. If the girl had not met her lover by then, he would leave the princess, return to the village, and accompany her until the end of her life; if the girl was already married by then, he would not ask for the princess's hand in marriage, but would become the eternal knight of this city-state and serve the kingdom with his life.
The world line of "the hero and the princess lived a happy and joyful life" was broken.
It was at this time that the superior system received an early warning of the collapse of the world line, and Yan Yunzhen became a warrior, replacing the brave man and entering the world.
Of course, the last two sentences were limited to internal communication among the three people. It was enough for the rest of the people to know what had happened before.
With the help of the Doomsday Survival System, the princess and the girl drank the disguise water provided by the Cultivation System and completely changed into each other's appearance.
The princess who had disguised herself as a girl extended her hand proudly, and the girl who had become a "princess" shook hands with her reservedly, as if everything was supposed to be this way.
Yan Yunzhen took off his mask and protective gear and gave them to the warrior. He also gave him his fastest horse and best sword, leaving only the precious shield in his arms. "The king and his men probably don't remember what I look like. You can just wear this mask like me. I'll just have to trouble you to find a shield."
The dragon also took off the crown on his head and handed it to the warrior: "If you take this again, you can prove that you killed me."
"But……"
The princess, who has become a girl, is reluctant to leave and wants to stop the dragon.
"It doesn't matter." The dragon said slowly, "The dragon's crown is to show that this is the most powerful demon king in the world, but if the dragon surrenders or dies, it no longer needs the crown."
The dragon was a little embarrassed, but continued, "Now, I surrender. From this moment on, I am your dragon."
The girl's face turned red a little.
The group finally said goodbye in the cave and agreed to meet again in the future. In order to thank Yan Yunzhen for his help, everyone asked his name.
Reminded by the Doomsday Survival System, Yan Yunzhen suddenly realized something and thought for a moment: "...Wang Haoran."
In front of this huge cave, the dragon and its girl set off on their journey. The princess and the hero will make their way back to the palace after the hero has recuperated.
The brave man will prove on this road that he is worthy of the title of a true dragon slayer, even if he has not actually slayed the dragon.
Three months later, the princess and the brave man returned to the palace. The brave man presented the dragon's crown, and the whole city was in an uproar.
Half a year later, the two held their wedding.
Two years later, their child was born and was named Wang Haoran in memory of a former friend.
According to legend, there is a dragon-controlling expert stirring up trouble in the demon world. She owns the largest dragon in the entire demon world, loves desserts, gold coins, and counting money.
The author has something to say: As for Xiaoyang and Lao Yan... of course they went back and lived a happy life =v=
