Where lay the difficulties?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was anyone actually obstructing the wedding? From appearances, everything seemed to be proceeding normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only anomaly seemed to be the princess herself. Xie Antong had suspected from the beginning that she might be unwilling to go through with the wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the princess was some hidden boss character - mentally unstable, ready to kill any player who dared speak favorably of the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, it appeared otherwise. The princess didn't even seem fundamentally opposed to the wedding...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What crucial piece was missing? How significantly did this issue impact the game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong instinctively felt this was the key point - perhaps even representing the true danger of this Hell Mode game. Otherwise, why would it be classified as such?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough...cough cough!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xie Antong pondered deeply, the princess beside her began violently coughing, as if her body could collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love him...yet I hate him... Do you understand why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should rest first. Are you alright? Do you need medicine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong hesitated while observing the woman before her, concerned by her fragile appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess weakly waved her hand, looking utterly delicate. \"Leave...just go... I've nothing more to say to you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xie Antong prepared to speak, the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guards marched in robotically, their expressionless gazes sweeping the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Visitor time concluded! Return to your quarters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xie Antong wasn't driven out by the princess - she'd lasted until the time limit expired, making her the most successful player so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards ignored the princess's tear-streaked face and disheveled state, mechanically performing their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's hesitation, Xie Antong rose without protest. She retrieved a towel from the cabinet and handed it to the princess before following the guards out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door closed. On the bed, the princess stared blankly at the towel before wiping her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentally, she now appeared significantly more lucid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since meeting Lu Ce, she regained normal logical reasoning capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drying her tears, she looked up at Lu Ce sitting nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you two know each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce didn't respond - he saw no need to answer others' questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not expecting an answer, the princess sighed, \"She's much more human than you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's your intended groom?\" Lu Ce ignored her meaningless comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wedding approaches. Why isn't he here? Must I wait two more days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess shook her head bitterly, \"He'd better not come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't do,\" Lu Ce replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't waste my time. If there's conflict between you, tell me his location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Capturing him now would expedite resolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess was speechless. She'd much prefer conversing with the previous girl than this unreasonable man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, his oppressive aura provoked her resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next player's visitation time began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new attendant entered wearing an identical expression - first shocked upon seeing \"Sin\", then offering the same stale greetings to the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the princess descended into madness again - cackling that she wasn't the princess, wailing like a banshee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this repetitive farce, Lu Ce's golden mask darkened with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing two more attendants get driven out by the hysterical princess, Lu Ce decided inaction was no longer tolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaped down from the boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your inefficiency vexes me. Must we wait for some excuse to expel these nuisances?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll handle this. Let's proceed to the next phase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess, still semi-delirious, merely shook her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, she lamented that none of the subsequent visitors matched that insightful girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else had asked, \"Do you love him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened. The next attendant entered wearing immaculate attire, only to find a towering figure blocking his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Ce wasn't exceptionally tall, the newcomer felt like he'd encountered a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dazzling golden presence radiated such pressure that the attendant instinctively retreated two steps - right back through the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, Lu Ce addressed the guards outside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remove him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Hold on!\" the attendant protested, but the guards, seeing him exit immediately, accepted Lu Ce's assessment and forcibly escorted him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon another attendant entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one didn't retreat, but during his stunned hesitation, Lu Ce spoke first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's not the princess. There is no princess here - only the king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attendant: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" the attendant began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare your words. That deranged woman behind me will start howling if you provoke her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave. Your presence is unnecessary here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?! I came to see the princess!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce glanced back at the princess. \"Press it. No more delays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Oh.\" The princess nodded obediently and pressed a button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guards entered and seized the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your time is up. Out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attendant: ?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of game mechanic was this?!\u003C\u002Fp>",841,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e2d3695f37815bd1bc7930d30b814e2adb9778fddf4af7234b8a2b4d9d4c185","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-295","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-293",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
