Even in real life, he had never seen such scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vastness felt like an entirely new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he had this feeling was in Tokyo, but that was still the real world, a whole city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrogant mask on, he walked with his head held high, but this time, his face kept turning outward, admiring the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the castle's external spiral staircase, Lu Ce followed several guards upward and quickly reached the very top of the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once there, he realized this was obviously a staged area; at the center was a wide platform carved from some kind of stone resembling white jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was actually jade itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Lu Ce knew he had come to the right place and walked straight onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two appeared in a flash, standing in front of Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce didn’t stop walking; he moved forward as if he intended to charge into the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards had no choice but to slightly sidestep, unwillingly making way for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce passed between them, glanced back slightly; the golden mask shimmered with a piercing glow as he looked at them once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, you’re smart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he strode directly toward the wedding platform’s steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guards: ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that if Lu Ce truly attacked and killed the guards now, things would spiral out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the mask became clearer before their eyes, the two guards clearly felt: if they didn’t let him through, they would die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True deterrence is when everyone knows you really would do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two guards exchanged a glance and decided to let it be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all… the princess had already said not to stop this person from going wherever he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, since Lu Ce dared to step onto the wedding platform, they wouldn’t dare approach; they just stood far off, acting as sentries and watchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood alone at the center of the white jade platform, looking around and realizing the entire world lay beneath his gaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was, in fact, the highest point within his line of sight in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The castle was built on a mountain, at its peak, and this was the highest part of the castle itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed designed to satisfy the castle owner’s desire to lord over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The castle owner… hmm, wasn’t that himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce thought to himself, feeling this spot was truly excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he suddenly paused, noticing something in the distance—people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mountain’s foot and even farther away, a huge crowd had gathered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier he hadn’t paid attention, barely even saw them; the sheer number of people made it hard to identify them as individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed they were packed so tightly it was impossible to pass through. Judging by the look of it, they must all be here to witness the wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So grand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked down at the crowd, the people below also spotted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden mask reflected dazzling light; even at noon, it was like the brightest jewel embedded atop the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people below wore various outfits, some possibly priests or other ritual attendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once someone spotted the figure on the highest platform, word quickly spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred; almost everyone lifted their heads, staring at the uninvited guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a time, right before the wedding began, they found someone had gone up first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was outright disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, they realized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… radiant…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the noon sun’s illumination, it didn’t look like a human at all; the entire figure was wrapped in divine brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a time, who could stand up there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is… that is a god! That’s the person the princess is about to marry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The god has come! The god is watching us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew who started it, but maybe the priests sensed the divinity on Lu Ce’s body and trembled as they shouted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the crowd’s unrest grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The god is watching us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices among the people gradually swelled into a chant, and then suddenly, the crowd knelt en masse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire populace bowed down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guards: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two guards hurried to the edge, staring down in shock, exchanging glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should they report this to the princess…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, can I call you that now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, after lunch and rest, the afternoon \"attendant time\" had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the princess had also learned: if the attendant didn’t want to chat, just switch to another one directly. Why waste time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she didn’t bother and pressed the button to skip through attendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until… Xie Antong was allowed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she just said was from Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do as you like. I don’t really care anymore, just came to talk to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess waved her hand, motioning for Xie Antong to sit on the bed while she lay down herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That annoying guy finally left. How do you two know each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xie Antong could answer, the princess took the initiative to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… we, it’s kind of a coincidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong could only reply that. To be honest, though the princess seemed harmless, \"Sin\" wasn’t here, and that made her feel a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though outsiders saw \"Sin\" as the more ruthless one, she was now certain that if \"Sin\" were here, he would feel safer than the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Seems like a strange fate.” The princess smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you feel about him? How long have you known each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s expression grew complicated as she pondered and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feelings… hard to say. How long… that’s also hard to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! You actually talk so interestingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, but it’s funny. Just now at lunch, you kept staring at him so much. You care that much, huh~~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s face stiffened and she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… is it that obvious? Fine, I was just confirming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Care… not really. Besides, maybe he doesn’t care about me at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?” The princess narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of killing intent. “Maybe so. Someone like him, it’s hard to imagine he cares about anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just that I feel…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I put a knife to your neck right now, he might appear in this room the next second…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","4bc1ae2ebb57f1a2c4079ee4fedd365194417cafea56b3187e7894fecf76a54c","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-300","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-298",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
