ATFBETIBM 192.1

The ugly and terrifying tongue stretched out, and the sticky barbed tongue rolled up a pirate casually. Before the pirate could scream, he was swallowed into the fat and green body in one gulp.

“Ahhhhh!”

Seeing this horrific scene, the pirates screamed and started running away.

However, the terrifying huge vines easily blocked the only cave exit. Even though the plant had no eyes, the pirates could still feel the plant’s gaze.

Behind them was the rushing river but they had cut off the bridge themselves, and there were also green-skinned monsters at the other side. Here was a green-skinned plant more terrifying than the green-skinned monsters, and beyond were the ugly four-legged monsters that attack people in the tunnel.

The bearded captain cursed in a low voice, “Did we stab the green skin nest today? Fuck!”

A bigger tongue rolled towards the bearded captain from above, and the bearded captain grabbed someone at the side and threw them over. The plant immediately swallowed them in one gulp.

Just when all the pirates were at a loss, there was a loud “bang” behind them.

When everyone turned around, they saw the beautiful young master and the wizard, who they thought were about to die, kick the monsters away before freezing them all.

With a solemn face, the silver-haired wizard hugged the beautiful and slender young master into his arms, and calmly walked on the water.

Frost began to spread out from the soles of his feet, and in an instant, the rushing river turned into a frozen river.

The long hair behind the silver-haired wizard fluttered without wind, and the black cloak fluttered. With every step he took, countless snow and frost condensed around him.

A silver man, pure white snowflakes, and a transparent river.

The man walked across, stepping on the frost like a lotus flower, as strange and mysterious as a snow demon on the top of a snow mountain.

The bearded captain watched vigilantly as the wizard came up with the young man in his arms. He looked at the green-skinned monsters frozen into ice sculptures, and then at the more mysterious wizard in front of him.

The huge green monster overhead suddenly roared, and then there was the sound of chewing before a corroded white bone was spit out.

The silver-haired wizard glanced at the green plants in disgust.

Seeing this, the bearded captain rolled his eyes in his sockets, and the corners of his mouth were drawn together: “Don’t blame me, wizard.”

“It is indeed my fault that I cut the rope just now, but I am not alone. I still have a large number of brothers to rescue. Do you have any complaints or blame, let’s talk about it after we leave here, okay?”

“There are no permanent friends or enemies, now let’s fight this plant monster first.”

The silver-haired wizard just stared at the bearded captain with cold silver eyes. The bearded captain paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, “We’ll come together next time and you can choose what you want first, but you have to leave some for us, okay?”

“The situation is so severe now, one more friend is better than one more enemy. This monster is blocking the exit, and we can’t get out. Why don’t we cooperate and kill this monster together, then go out together.

The vines moved again. This time, the target was the young master next to the silver-haired wizard.

The thick, jagged green vines with rough edges moved down and slowly came towards Bai Lixin. They stretched out tentatively, trying to wrap around him.

Just as the tip of the vine touched Bai Lixin’s arm, the silver-haired wizard beside him touched it casually with his magic wand, and the vine instantly became rotten.

Upon seeing this, the bearded captain’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said persistently, “Even if it’s not for yourself, do it for the young master beside you. Let’s work together, okay?”

“No.”

The bearded captain looked at the slender young man beside the silver-haired wizard in surprise.

Only then did they notice that the young man was holding a sharp dagger in his hand. When a vine came over again, he casually waved the dagger, and the vine was instantly cut into two pieces. The severed part twitched and fell on the ground.

It wasn’t the silver-haired wizard who said “no,” but this seemingly pampered young master.

Seeing Bai Lixin’s skillful moves as he cut off the vine at will, the bearded captain’s eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

“I can give others a chance, but I won’t give others a second chance to deceive and betray me.” Bai Lixin flicked the dagger with his wrist, throwing the green juice on the ground. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

Then the young man raised his head and stared at the green vine above him, saying with disgust, “Can you stop eating? It’s disgusting.”

The vine that had swallowed several pirates suddenly stopped moving, and it slithered overhead like a giant net. The tangled vines began to shrink and deform rapidly, and when deforming, they did not forget to spit corpses into the corner.

In the blink of an eye, the monstrous green vines had shrunk to the size of a human.

The figure walked to the youth, and the green vines gradually revealed a human appearance.

Less than a minute later, an arrogant boy with black hair and green eyes appeared.

The bearded captain was dumbfounded. He pointed to the tall boy, and then to Bai Lixin. “Are you a team?”

His eyes flicked back and forth between the silver-haired wizard and the black-haired boy in disbelief. The bearded captain only felt that something was collapsing in his mind. “You, you look the same? What kind of monsters are you?”

Suddenly, the bearded captain’s sight fell on the frozen river.

His expression changed instantly, and he held up the saber, pointing it at the silver-haired wizard tremblingly. “It’s you! You are the monster that made the weather in the sea city change!”

The bearded captain’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were red and frightened. “It turns out that you had planned this every step of the way and you just wanted to rely on us to find the mermaid treasure. Fuck, I am really blind.”

Bai Lixin couldn’t help but complain. “You were blind in one eye.”

The bearded captain: “…”

This is just bullying. Don’t you know you shouldn’t expose people’s flaws?!

The silver-haired wizard and the sea monster looked at each other, and the sea monster suddenly burped.

The silver-haired wizard frowned in disgust and quickly looked away.

Being ugly is one thing, but at least be picky about what you eat.

The pirates backed away in fear when they heard the burp and saw the sea monster stretch out his hand in front of Bai Lixin, complaining aggrievedly, “Baby, look at my little finger. You cut it off earlier. Why are you so cruel? You want to murder your own husband.”

As he spoke, the severed little finger was rapidly regenerating before Bai Lixin’s eyes. By the time he finished speaking, the finger was almost completely back.

The silver-haired wizard glanced at it. “Yes, you should hurry and let the master give it another special treatment, or the wound will heal.”

“Why didn’t you retaliate when Master cut you? My master only cut off one of your fingers. If he had cut off your third leg directly…”

The sea monster chuckled, “So what? Not only do I have a third leg, I also have a sixth, seventh, eighth…”

In the live broadcast room:

[Tsk tsk tsk, I can’t help laughing every time I see these two attackers jealously competing.]

[Well, what does the third leg mean?]

[Think about the long, lower body, not the legs but like legs…]

[Oh, oh, I got it, damn it! Stop talking!]

[They are really cute.]

[Brother sea monster is really good; he is trying to anger the silver-haired wizard, and every word he says is just playing on the silver-haired wizard’s rationality.]

[The sea monster didn’t get any benefits, not to mention his palace was bombed; his body is also attacked every day. I am laughing to death. Fortunately, the regeneration speed is fast; otherwise, he would not be able to keep up with the explosion speed.]

[“Killing One Thousand Enemies, Losing Eight Hundred.”]

——————

The sea monster looked at the startled and frightened pirates in front of him without emotion, and then threw a sentence that was like a landmine on the ground: “Should I eat them all?”

Bai Lixin and the silver-haired wizard looked at the sea monster with disgust at the same time.

The sea monster pursed his lips and was about to make another suggestion when some melodious and ethereal mermaid singing slowly came from the long and narrow tunnel behind.

When they turned their heads, they saw that the ice on the frozen green-skinned monsters was melting rapidly.

The monsters that thawed out of the ice obediently stood on both sides of the tunnel, looking devout and obedient like puppies.

Under the starry eyes of the green-skinned monsters, the beautiful Miss Xihai slowly walked out with the little girl in her arms.

Bai Lixin and Miss Xihai looked at each other across the river bank, and the system kept reminding him that the SAN value had dropped.

The little girl patted Miss Xihai on the shoulder. Miss Xihai looked at the little girl and put the little girl down from her arms.

Several people looked at the good-looking little girl with vigilance.

The little girl took a light step forward, and her body suddenly disappeared.

Before everyone could react, the little girl appeared in front of Bai Lixin out of thin air.

She was suspended in mid-air, looking at this handsome and beautiful young man.

“You are so pretty,” the little girl tilted her head and looked at Bai Lixin. “I wish I had a brother who is as good-looking as you.”

Bai Lixin was stunned and asked, “Why do you want a brother?”

Girl: “Brother is the protector, so he can protect Mom and Miu Miu, prevent Mom from being hurt, and prevent Miu Miu from suffering.”

“I’ve decided!” The corner of the little girl’s mouth suddenly rose. Her expression was always innocent, with clear and transparent eyes. “Miu Miu needs a big brother!”

“You are very good-looking, and I don’t want to hurt beautiful people, but you can’t hurt Miu Miao and Mom anymore.”

“I order you to get out of here!”

The girl’s voice suddenly became sharp at the last sentence, and at the same time, Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly went dark.

A strange and inexplicable distortion happened, and before Bai Lixin had time to resist, his body was pushed by some strange force and he was directly ejected.

His vision changed from dark to bright, and the space in front of him was distorted and scattered.

He saw a colorful circular tunnel, with many colored lines attached to it at 360 degrees, and the lines twisted and rotated.

Upon first glance, these lines appear to have no rules, and yet they intricately and randomly compose this absurd tunnel. As colors flew by quickly in front of him, a girl’s sobs echoed in his ears. Gradually, the colors turned into pure white, and that familiar smell lingered at the tip of his nose once again. Eventually, the pure white disappeared, replaced by the original black.

At the end of the darkness, a bright light appeared…

Bai Lixin opened his eyes to an unfamiliar environment.

In a grand and opulent room, with carved beams and painted columns, he lay on a huge bed all alone. His consciousness still felt like it was in that strange, twisted tunnel, and his head buzzing as his eyes subconsciously scanned the room.

The room was arranged with furnishings in a Western European palace style, with white as the main tone and golden embellishments. It was luxurious and stylish. There was a painting hanging on the wall, but it was difficult to see it due to the bedposts blocking it.

Bai Lixin got out of bed, rubbing his somewhat confused head, and approached the painting.

The portrait was of someone in court attire, wearing a pure white military uniform with epaulets dotted with golden ears of wheat. A slender pure white belt passed through the epaulets and hung on the pure white belt. The young man in the painting had long black waist-length hair, and his clear pupils seemed to be wrapped in stardust. His eyes were gentle yet firm— it was him.

Bai Lixin asked, [Can you explain?]

The static “zzzz zzz” rang out in his mind, and the system’s voice came over after a few seconds, [The system was attacked by dimensionality reduction just now, and I don’t know what happened.]

Bai Lixin asked, [A dimensionality reduction attack?]

The escape system responded, [Yes, that little girl is very strange. Her language seems to carry some kind of creative power, which can easily change the status quo.]

Bai Lixin went to the closet and opened it. It was filled with pure white military uniforms, and he chose a set to put on. [So as soon as she asked us to leave, we were ejected.]

The escape system said, [This power is terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is that this power has been handed over to an emotionally unstable little girl.]

The escape system continued, [Master Bai Lixin, do you know what this means? This means that the detonator of a nuclear bomb has been handed over to a baby. If the girl is a little careless, if she says something like ‘I hope the world will be destroyed,’ then the fairy tale world will be over.]

The escape system advised, [This little girl is most likely the intruder, so stop her quickly.]

Bai Lixin asked, [A little girl, how could she think of invading the fairy tale world?]

The escape system replied, [Maybe she wasn’t a little girl in the first place? Maybe she was an adult before the invasion, but after entering the fairy tale world, her memory was disturbed, and she became this naïve and terrifying version.]

Bai Lixin made the final arrangements in front of the mirror, making sure he was dressed neatly, and then walked to the white door. [Okay, let me first observe more.]

The door opened to reveal a corridor outside. The floor of the corridor was paved with a high-quality carpet, whose color was a clean light gold, with some red dots outside the gold.

On both sides of the corridor stood a row of well-dressed soldiers. They were also gorgeously dressed, the clothes looking like those that would only appear on a stage play of the guard of honor.

As Bai Lixin walked out, the soldiers immediately raised their heads and respectfully greeted him, “Your Royal Highness!”

Bai Lixin walked past each of them, gradually slowing down as he recognized a few old acquaintances among them. Finally, his footsteps stopped in front of a soldier, and he looked up and down at the soldier’s face, his gaze settling on the iconic beard. “Captain?” he asked.

The soldier looked at Bai Lixin with both respect and doubt. “Your Highness, what did you call me?”

“Aren’t you the captain of a pirate ship?” Bai Lixin asked. “We met not long ago on Skeleton Island.”

The soldier’s expression grew more puzzled and even terrified. “Your Highness, I have been in the Royal Guard since I was young. I have been here for twenty years now and have always been dedicated to my duties, obeyed the law, and followed the teachings of the kingdom. How could I be involved in the pirate business of burning, killing, and plundering? Although you are a prince, you cannot just slander me like that!”

Bai Lixin took a closer look at the man to make sure he wasn’t lying. He scanned the rest of the soldiers one by one before returning to the bearded captain. “You look very similar to a pirate I’ve seen before,” he said. “If you say you’re not a pirate captain, then let me ask you some questions.”

“What is this place?”

“What is the name of this kingdom?”

“Who else is in the royal family besides me?”

Although the bearded soldier had a strange expression, he answered Bai Lixin’s questions respectfully.

“Reporting to His Royal Highness,” said the bearded soldier.

“This is Shancheng Kingdom,” he continued.

“The king is Prince Mia, who was once known as Prince Rapunzel, and the queen is Miss Xihai, the mermaid princess. You are their first child and son, Prince Bai Lixin. You also have a younger sister, the beautiful and lovely Princess Miu Miu.”

“Shancheng is the purest and kindest kingdom in the world. There is no war, disease, or famine, and everyone lives happily every day. It is a dream kingdom created by the king and queen for all of us.”

“But…”

Prince Mia, Miss Xihai, Princess Miu Miu… Bai Lixin was not a stranger to these names. The little girl Miu Miu had said that she wanted a brother like him, so now he had become her brother? What about Dijia and the rest?

Bai Lixin asked, “But what?”
