The ten-seat door in front of her was wide open, and inside the door, pearls, agate, gold and precious stones were piled up like discarded stones, filling the room, which was larger than her royal palace.
Between dozens of load-bearing giant pillars, treasures that could blind a person’s eyes were piled up into a dazzling golden mountain.
A dark black dragon was coiled around it, its tail swung at Gu Nian’s feet, its slender body circled the entire Golden Mountain, and its huge head leaned on the top of the mountain, sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed, and a piece of something was held tightly in the dragon’s mouth.
That thing should be made of pure gold. Judging from the outline half hidden in the dragon’s mouth, it looked like a pure gold chair.
The evil dragon slept quietly, seemingly unaware that his nest had been smashed, and his tongue licked the solid gold “chair” from time to time, as if he couldn’t put it down even in his dream.
Looking at the naive evil dragon, Gu Nian’s eyes turned cold. What she saw was not the scene in front of her, but countless companions falling into a pool of blood in front of her eyes, and countless cities collapsing in front of her eyes. It was still unconsciously and gently entangling her in the dragon’s tail.
Gu Nian tightened her grip on the spear in her hand.
Before she could take the first step out, a pair of hands covered her eyes.
Darkness came suddenly.
Gu Nian stopped suddenly. She turned her head and smelled a faint cool breath like ice flakes in the blood: “…Xiu?”
“It’s me.”
The voice was gentle and low.
This tenderness made people fall into a trance after listening to it. Gu Nian was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses as she asked: “What are you going to do?”
“I should still do things like slaying dragons for Her Highness, right?”
“You–“
“Your Highness just needs to close your eyes and wait. Everything you want will be returned to your feet.”
“…”
Xiu’s voice seemed to have some kind of magic power.
Gu Nian unconsciously closed her eyes slowly as he spoke, until he pulled away, but her eyes were still dim.
Gu Nian heard footsteps walking past her.
After deathly silence.
A sudden dragon’s roar surged out like a long river of time from ancient times, rising straight up, tearing through the sky and overturning the sun, moon, heaven and earth.
Gu Nian opened her eyes in panic.
In her final clear consciousness, she only saw gold and blood rain all over the sky, the dragon roared with pain in her ears, and the dragon’s body was struggling in death.
Only one thing fell and hit her hard.
It was the pure gold “chair” that the dragon held in its mouth even when it was sleeping.
Not a chair.
It was her dressing mirror that had been with her for many, many years and was snatched away by the evil dragon.
Gu Nian suddenly felt sad in her heart.
Her consciousness fell into darkness.
….
When she opened her eyes again, she was already at the border of the Kingdom outside Dragon City.
Stars were scattered in the dark night sky in fine pieces, blinking at the princess who woke up in the sleeping net woven by vines.
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned over and sat up: “Xiu——”
Beside the bonfire, the slender figure paused.
Brown eyes looked back gently: “Are you awake?”
Before Gu Nian could recover, a shadow rushed over from the side, crying: “Your Highness, you finally woke up! You scared me to death!”
“…”
Gu Nian looked blankly at the maid who was lying in front of her legs crying. The scene in the fantasy world where the maid fell in front of her was still in her eyes. She seemed to still remember the temperature of the hot blood splashing on her cold armor.
And this one in front of her…
Gu Nian raised her hand and touched the head of the maid who was crying on her lap.
The maid shed tears, burped and then hid behind her: “Your Highness, didn’t you agree that you won’t touch my head anymore?”
Gu Nian was startled and smiled: “Fortunately, it’s true.”
“What…what is true?” the maid asked with her eyes red from crying.
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand, lowered her head and asked her: “Have you forgotten everything that happened in the illusion of Dragon City Castle?”
The maid shook her head blankly: “I don’t remember anything that happened after entering the castle. The same goes for everyone else.”
“Then how did you come back?”
“It was like having a dream. There was a voice in the dream that kept driving us away. Then when we woke up, we were already here.”
“…”
Gu Nian subconsciously raised her head and looked at the man beside the campfire. The man had already stood up and only gave her a smiling and reassuring look.
Before Gu Nian could speak again, the maid beside her suddenly said excitedly: “By the way, Your Highness, look!”
“What?”
Gu Nian looked back and followed the maid’s raised arms pointing behind her.
Behind her, the original evil dragon’s territory had disappeared. Instead, there was a vast Heavenly Pit.
The bottomless Heavenly Pit was covered with clouds and mist, and in the middle, as if at the end of the sky, in the middle of the Heavenly Pit, there was a majestic stone pillar holding up the sky.
It was the evil dragon’s sculpture.
And the Dragon’s Head was the craggy and strange-looking castle, isolated in the Heavenly Pit.
Gu Nian looked distracted.
The maid beside her was so excited that her face turned red: “Your Highness, you really did it! From now on, the human race and the evil dragon castle will be separated by a natural chasm. The evil dragon territory and the monster beasts on it have all disappeared, and the human race will no longer be affected by their harassment! Your Highness, you will definitely become the most sacred legend!! Your Highness – Hey, Your Highness, where are you going??”
“…”
Wearing a big cloak and walking toward the Heavenly Pit, the princess ignored her voice.
The maid anxiously wanted to catch up but was stopped by an arm. She froze slightly and looked back at the long-haired beauty who stopped her.
“Xiu…Your Excellency?”
The maid didn’t know the reason, she only knew the result: after returning from that cursed land, everyone in their group felt a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts towards the gentle and harmless-looking long-haired beauty in front of them.
But the man’s gentleness towards them remained the same, and there was no difference at all. He was exactly the same and almost indifferent, treating them equally.
“Just go over there.”
“Yes.”
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiu walked to the side of the princess who stopped in front of the moat.
She looked expressionlessly at the bottomless clouds and mist beneath her feet. Her eyes were very pale, as if she had no emotion and seemed to be sad.
She asked: “Is it dead?”
Xiu: “Dead.”
“…”
Gu Nian blinked.
She recalled that before she lost consciousness, the evil dragon held her dressing mirror in its mouth as if it were a baby. She had a very bad feeling in her heart.
Like a reflection.
The slender body opened under her eyes, and the voice said softly, “This is its reverse scale.”
Blood red, gem-like scales.
Gu Nian bit her lip.
The man next to the ear smiled softly: “Now, it is Her Highness.”
“…”
Gentle and cold to the bone.
