Chapter 963: 561 Little hour

What the hell... what is this situation again?

After throwing off Director Scorpio on his back and crawling out of the pool, Li Ang wiped the pool water off his face and looked around at the situation, completely bewildered.

Didn't I just rush out of the No. 1 Research Area? How did it suddenly change its appearance in a flash? And... why does this place look a bit familiar?

"Ptooey! Help... help me!"

Just as Li Ang was looking around vigilantly and making eye contact with the bewildered guests, Fei Liya's cry for help suddenly came from the fountain pool behind him.

"I can't swim! Help... help me!"

"You don't need me to save you."

After glancing back at the situation in the pool, Li Ang, under the pointing and gesturing of the guests, grabbed Director Scorpio's feet and dragged him out of it, then said to the green-eyed girl:

"This is just a fountain pool. As long as you sit up, your head can come out... speaking of which, where is this place? Do you know?"

"Huff... huff... maybe... the palace..."

Following Li Ang's guidance, after crawling out of the pool, the green-eyed girl, who was still in shock, coughed twice and then said uncertainly:

"It looks like the small garden behind the palace, but this small garden hasn't been taken care of for almost ten years. It should be full of weeds now... eh?!"

Seeming to have discovered something incredible, Fei Liya's emerald eyes widened, and she looked in shock at the wooden open platform in the distance, while the person in the center of the low wooden platform seemed to have noticed the commotion here and curiously leaned out to look over.

That is... King Emperor Fei En and the Queen?

Following the green-eyed girl's gaze, after seeing the appearance of that family in the center of the wooden platform, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but rise slightly, and then he recognized more "acquaintances" among the guests present.

Although they looked much younger and their clothing had changed quite a bit, a considerable number of these guests seemed to have appeared in the "Preservation Hall" before, so... is this a royal banquet that happened in the past?

After looking at King Emperor Fei En in the main seat and looking around at the guests, seeing some traces similar to "brush strokes" on everyone's clothes, a flash of realization flashed in Li Ang's eyes.

Although this is a banquet that happened in the past, Prince Andre's ability doesn't seem to have anything to do with traveling through time. It's unlikely that he has the power to send people back many years ago, so the scene before him is mostly some kind of "simulation" or "reproduction."

Considering the brush stroke traces on these people's clothing, as well as the things that appeared suddenly before and turned into a large pool of paint after being cut by his 【Silver Cutting Dagger】... is Prince Andre's ability related to painting?

"Back off!"

Just as Li Ang was guessing Prince Andre's ability by following the clues, a small team of fully armed guards rushed over from a distance, then quickly divided into two branches. One branch protected the guests as they retreated, while the other held swords and halberds for protection, surrounding the "armed criminal" who had broken into the banquet.

"What are you doing!"

The tall and strong guard captain in the lead set up his sword and halberd against Li Ang, asking with a vigilant look:

"Speak! How did you break in! And who are this child and the unconscious person?"

"..."

After listening to the tall guard captain's inquiry, Li Ang's mouth twitched.

That unconscious one is my pig teammate who is good at sending heads and rebelling. That child is your future princess. As for how I broke in... I should count as being "invited" in by your prince.

Not answering the guard captain's question, Li Ang, who had some guesses about Prince Andre's ability, first protected Fei Liya behind him, then gripped the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 in his hand, raised his hand, and slashed hard at the "world" in front of him.

If the situation was really as he guessed, and this banquet was a painting, then it meant he could rely on the ability of the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 to cut open this painting and break out!

"Sss!"

In Li Ang's expectant expression, this slash really didn't miss, but actually cut something, making a tearing sound like cutting through cloth, breaking a crack in the "world" in front of him.

However, the trouble was that, just like cutting the secret room where Prince Andre was before, this small crack had just been cut open when it closed again at a faster speed. The moment the tip of the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 left the "canvas," it had already been completely repaired.

With the astonishing repair speed of this "canvas," let alone letting three living people escape, even if he cut while splashing water, he wouldn't be able to splash a single drop of water.

"Audacious!"

Seeming unable to see the gap Li Ang cut, seeing that Li Ang not only didn't surrender to him but instead gestured with a small knife, the guard captain was furious. He twisted the sword and halberd in his hand half a turn, preparing to use the unsharpened side to knock down this overestimating intruder, however...

"Stop!"

A somewhat immature voice rang out from a distance. A little boy wearing a brown fine linen shirt on his upper body and black riding breeches on his lower body ran over, holding a golden leather ball.

After stopping the guard captain who wanted to take action, the little boy, whose shirt was soaked with sweat and whose hair was stuck to his forehead, raised his red, chubby little face, smiled at Li Ang, and then said to the guard captain:

"Uncle Baggs, this is a guest I invited. Let the guards go down."

"Your Highness?"

Hearing the little boy's words, the guard captain hesitated slightly, then reminded him:

"But in his hand..."

"Don't worry, that's just a fruit knife."

After glancing at Li Ang, who had narrowed his eyes, the little boy, who had green eyes like Fei Liya, smiled:

"Uncle Baggs, there are so many of us here. Even if he really is some bad guy, a small knife can't do anything."

"..."

That's true...

Seeing the little prince stand up and vouch for these suspicious people, the guard captain's tense expression relaxed slightly. He first glared at Li Ang warningly, then lowered his head and saluted the boy:

"Your Highness, you are joking. Since he is your guest, there must be no problem. I will call the guards down immediately... but breaking in suddenly like this, it's best not to have a second time."

"It won't happen again, it won't happen again!"

After pushing the guard captain two steps away with a smile and leaving the edge of the pool, the little boy walked back hugging the leather ball, then looked up at Li Ang, who was lost in thought, and said meaningfully:

"Lord Prince, I am Andre. Welcome to attend my sister's first-year birthday banquet."

"..."

Although he already had faint guesses, when he heard this sunny, youthful little boy personally admit his identity, Li Ang's eyes still couldn't help but reveal a little surprise.

I really didn't expect that the Andre in the future, who was lazy and impatient, as if he wished he could just sleep forever, was actually quite sunny when he was young... It's a pity he grew up to be inferior. ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
