Qiuyan Mountain was a royal hunting mountain, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter inside. At this time, at the end of winter, the peak of Qiuyan Mountain was still covered with snow, but the mountainside was misty, with a bit of early spring feeling. At the foot of the mountain, the ice spring melted, and next to the white snow, a few deer jumped out.
Although Su Xi was a little sleepy as she had an exam tomorrow, she was afraid that something might happen to the cub in Qiuyan Mountain’s plot, so she forced herself to finish this level.
When she switched the interface to the panoramic view of Qiuyan Mountain, she immediately saw the pear blossom tree that the cub had mentioned. On the entire mountain, that was the only tree in bloom at this time, and the fine white and crystal pear blossoms were blown by the breeze, fluttering in the air.
Just when Su Xi was about to get closer to take a look, she suddenly heard movement from the right side of the screen!
She followed the movement and pulled the screen over and saw that there were actually several assassins with straw tied to their bodies lurking in the snowy grass. The assassins were staring at a path in the valley in the distance, as if they were just waiting for their target to pass by.
What’s going on? Su Xi was startled.
What plot is this entering?!
A message quickly popped up on the interface: “Please accept side mission 4: The second prince is being assassinated, please help him. The mission rewards 20 coins and 2 points.”
It turned out that these assassins were waiting for the second prince.
The system explained: “These assassins were sent by the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince is the most scheming of the princes. He thinks that the Crown Prince is too mediocre and the Third Prince is too obsessed with wine and women. They are not his strong opponents. Only the Second Prince is usually taciturn, but actually he is very capable, so he is very wary of the Second Prince.”
“And now, because of the frost disaster, many rebels nearby have gathered some bandits and want to start a riot, so the Fifth Prince decided to go all out and create an assassination attempt by the bandits. Even if the assassination fails, this will prevent the Second Prince from hunting anything and return empty-handed, which will ruin his impression in front of the Emperor.”
Generally speaking, the side quests that this game allowed her to complete were mostly to promote the main quest that followed, and they must be completed. For example, the previous quests to subdue Master Ding and to treat Lu Wenxiu. And now this side quest should also be related to the main quest that was to follow.
Sure enough, the system continued, “Among the princes of the Imperial College, only the second prince’s companion died last year after accidentally falling off a horse. There has been no new companion since then. According to the rules of Yan State, the only way for a bast**d to enter the Imperial College is to become a companion. Therefore, the second prince cannot die at this time, so that you can help the protagonist become his companion in the subsequent tasks and enter the Imperial College with this identity.”
Su Xi understood that everything was done for the purpose of letting her cub enter the Imperial Academy and officially become involved in the court disputes.
Side quests were generally quite simple. Although these assassins looked fierce, the Second Prince was surrounded by palace guards. Su Xi guessed that she would just need to lend a hand later.
So she didn’t take it seriously and switched the interface to the cub’s side first.
At this moment, at the foot of Qiuyan Mountain, a group of princes gathered here. Behind their tall and fine horses were guards and servants. The hunting scene was very grand.
Although the cub was young, he had an amazing aura. He was dressed in a red and black outfit and riding a tall white horse. Although he had no extra pendants on his body, he still attracted the attention of some princes.
Many daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles also came for this hunting trip, and many girls couldn’t help but glance towards the cub.
One was because they had never seen the third young master of Ning Wang’s Mansion before, and the other was because the baby’s appearance was attractive.
Seeing them like this, Su Xi couldn’t help but want to spend the money to see the cub’s real face. But she was afraid that after spending the money, she wouldn’t be able to change it back to the cute and fierce little ball in the stick figure drawing.
She could have held back at first but now seeing so many girls on the screen looking over here uncontrollably – she really couldn’t help it.
System: “20 gold coins.”
Su Xi gritted her teeth and said, “Krypton!”
At the moment when the gold coins were deducted, the image quality on the screen suddenly changed to ultra-clear 24k quality, and she finally saw the real face of the little boy.
The young man riding on the tall horse had extremely white skin, almost as clean as snow, a cold face, picturesque eyebrows, black hair, and his clothes were slightly fluttering in the breeze.
It reminded people of the brightness and youthful spirit of the soldiers riding horses leaning on the sloping bridge and the red sleeves waving on the building.
But beneath his bright appearance, his temperament was as cold as the snowy mountains outside the Great Wall.
Although he still had the feeling of youthfulness in him, his brows were cold and mature, and he already had a sharp edge.
This–
Su Xi was stunned and her face turned red. The original artist of this game earned a million a month, right?
The baby is so pretty!
But before she could watch for a few more seconds, the screen “popped” and after a cloud of mist, the handsome boy suddenly shrank and sat limply on the horse. He turned into a stick figure of a milk ball, with his back straightened, his chubby face wrinkled expressionlessly, and looking towards the mountain.
The system said: “20 gold coins can be exchanged for three seconds of original painting. If you need to switch to the original painting mode, please continue to pay.”
Su Xi:…………???
Unscrupulous businessman!
Su Xi quickly calculated that since three seconds cost 20 cents. If she played the game for three hours a day, it would cost 720 yuan to keep the original face of the cub?!
Goodbye.
Su Xi was furious, but after the screen switched back to the baby, she was able to accept it.
After the prince came out and said a few words, the hunt began. The rules of this hunt were that each prince would hold 20 arrows, and in the end, whoever caught the most prey would go down the mountain and gather at the camp before dark. The winner would receive a reward from the emperor.
Then, the royal family began to beat drums.
When the drum sounded, all the princes flew out in an instant like arrows from a bow.
Lu Huan also jumped out on his horse and disappeared in an instant.
….
There was a lot of prey on Qiuyan Mountain, from deer, hares, to wolves. But there was only one Snow Wolf King on the entire mountain, who was extremely cruel and rampant. If you hunt one, you will be the first to win, and you can meet the emperor to receive the reward of the first winner.
The Snow Wolf King was in a cave near the pear tree, but these princes did not dare to approach the Snow Wolf King’s territory, for fear that they would come to hunt and not only gain nothing but end up dying.
But Lu Huan went straight to the territory of the Snow Wolf King.
When he rode his horse past the first blooming pear tree on Qiuyan Mountain, his eyes were dark and bright, and he was determined to come out on top this time. In addition, when he met that man, he would bring the Snow Wolf King with him.
The man gave him many gifts, including birthday noodles that night, which he would never forget… But what he had was very little, and he didn’t know what to give in return.
All the wooden carvings were too simple, and he hoped to give that person a good gift.
The author has something to say:
Su Xi: You and I have no destiny, it’s all because of me spending money (waving handkerchief.jpg)
Cub: Here, Snow Wolf King. (jumps over happily)
Su Xi: (scared to death)
