Chapter 125: The Last Ball

~7 min read 1,260 words

A few silver-white whiskers grew on her cheeks. Although her face had become her original appearance, it was even more beautiful.

It was just like the modeling in the game. But what made her most unable to accept was.

What does the ear on the head mean...

Su Mian in the reflection frowned, her expression extremely serious, but the one-piece uniform was replaced by a pink-white cake skirt.

A huge white butterfly knot was tied behind her back, making her look honest and coquettish.

I don't know if it was because of the "Mutation," but Su Mian felt she was a bit chubby, her face becoming round.

A pair of black pupils were full of terror.

She saw a terrible thing.

A huge fluffy tail.

How much chance of winning would she have if she poked Fuerdi blind now.

【Mian Mian, there's no time, the ball is about to start.】

——

"Tonight, we will select the person who can truly put on these red dancing shoes. The nightingale is the witness. We will bless this lucky person who has obtained eternal charm. Her dance steps will become a legend, and her life will be brilliant."

All the guests held their breath, their gazes gathered on the dancing shoes. Maoshi raised her hands, and the lights in the hall were lit one by one.

"Now, please show your most beautiful dance steps and strive for the final glory!"

"The last ball of the Kingdom of Elosia is about to end!"

The crowd cheered, playing elegant and beautiful music, dancing gracefully to the beat. No one remembered who held this ball, nor did anyone remember that the old King was already dead.

They didn't care; they just wanted to get those red dancing shoes, all dancing hard.

Some elderly people, with inconvenient legs and feet, were still panting loudly, holding their dance partners and rocking, stiff as a kangaroo about to die.

The dwarf's glasses fell to the ground with a "bang." He rubbed his eyes, and was pulled by another dwarf to spin to the other side.

The glasses had long been stepped on and broken. He screamed and cried, but didn't dare to stop his dance steps, afraid of being eliminated.

The players watched this weird scene silently, all of them as if possessed.

"Where is Elizabeth?"

Luna rubbed her hands nervously. According to her inference, tonight's candidate must be Elizabeth, but the person hadn't come yet.

Violating the character setting was considered light; if the plot in the script didn't continue, all players might be implicated.

"Ah, she should be in her room having fun with her little slave."

Melissa spoke inappropriately. Everyone looked over. Her thick makeup, but her smile was exceptionally bright.

"And she ordered no one to approach. I see she's been fascinated to the point of losing her way, not even wanting to come to the ball."

She secretly rejoiced, very sure that the slave had used the skill card, otherwise this woman wouldn't be stupid enough not to even attend the ball.

Sure enough, interests could move everything. Su Mian, the person you are thinking about and can't leave, is about to kill you.

Thinking that Su Mian could disappear from this world tomorrow, she was so happy, although the points couldn't be asked back, but the person who made her lose points shouldn't think about living either.

She suppressed the dark color in her eyes, seeing Pip and Willow were really scared by her words.

Pip: "Then... what to do, will we be implicated?"

"No... Elizabeth is such a serious player, how could she be fascinated by a man to the point of losing her mind."

Luna's expression was somewhat worried. She was more afraid that Elizabeth was threatened by a man. Elizabeth didn't look like that kind of person.

"But she was like that this morning... could it be that she was pretending?"

Willow stuttered, thinking of what happened in the morning, feeling it was indecent.

"Everyone... what if we go catch them in the act?"

Felix suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with cunning light, his whole body's excited emotions overflowing.

Luna's eye corners twitched.

Why use "catch in the act"? Did this guy really treat himself as the legitimate spouse?

As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to stop him, he turned and left the messy banquet scene.

"Move, everyone, don't imagine the red dancing shoes will be given to those lazy guys."

Maoshi spoke, then saw those sweating guests dancing even harder, laughing loudly undisguisedly. The players were knocked around by the messy crowd.

Rustle...

Rustle...

The nightingale moved. Its feathers folded, then opened. A feather emitting fluorescence fell into Maoshi's hand. She stared at the distant players and waved it casually.

Suddenly, the players looked left and right.

Pip: "She... she is asking us where Eli-Elizabeth is, right."

That feather was clearly for Su Mian, but the person wasn't here at this moment.

"My God, it seems the nightingale has made its choice."

As the words fell, the whole scene stopped. Maoshi's gaze swept over the group of panicked players, her smile growing wider, her rabbit teeth already impatient to welcome its dinner.

"It's just that I don't know if this Princess Highness can still make it to the scene. If she can't make it... the nightingale will be angry."

"Witch-sama, please wait a while longer, our companion has already gone to the room to call her, she should be very..."

"Is that so?"

Maoshi rested her elbows on the white porcelain countertop on the second floor. This group of stupid players probably didn't know that their beloved Elizabeth had already gone far away, entered that factory... it was very difficult to come out again.

This instance was actually very simple from beginning to end. Who was the owner of the red dancing shoes, who killed the King, and who took back the dancing shoes? The difficulty was how to enter the factory and how to discover her portrait.

The curse of the red dancing shoes was given by the witch, which was why the factory would hang her portrait on the wall.

Her fingertips tapped lightly, but she didn't care much about that little player. Si Shi had also followed. If something happened, how could she explain it to the higher-ups?

The higher-ups meant to throw him out to torture him, to grind down his temper of doing whatever he wanted and slacking off.

But she didn't expect the player playing the "tyrant" princess to be so soft-hearted. However, now was not the time to say these things.

Just as she was racking her brains, the door opened suddenly, the night wind poured in, and the candlelight shook wildly.

A petite figure stood at the backlit entrance, the pink-white fluffy skirt hem blown open like flower petals by the wind.

"This... which NPC is this, why haven't I seen her?"

Pip was stunned for a moment, whispering in Luna's ear. Luna didn't speak, staring at the entrance, feeling that the figure was abnormally familiar.

All gazes were frozen on her.

Su Mian suppressed her pounding heart, lifted her skirt hem, and stepped into the ballroom.

She stopped in front of Maoshi and raised her face.

Maoshi narrowed her eyes, a flash of surprise crossing the depths of her eyes, and shook the feather in her hand that had returned to its original state.

"Princess Highness, as a candidate, arriving now, isn't it a bit impolite?"

"Sorry, Witch-sama, but I have indeed arrived, haven't I?" ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
