Chapter 3235

Duo Luo Qian looked at Xia De, who was earnestly "listening to the lecture" across the table, with a smile:

"You probably noticed that your part of the fairy tale seal is actually the sublimation words of Lei Qianya and me."

Now, the Miss writer and the Princess, who are Chosen Ones, are both at the Ninth Ring level, so each has two sublimation words.

Duo Luo Qian's are: Outside the dream of matches, the writer pities the frozen person (Match Girl); Inside the night's castle, only time can block the blessed Princess (Cinderella). And Lei Qianya's are: The sleeping Princess, gaining peace in reality and fantasy (Sleeping Princess); Broken bubbles/fantasy, also writing the despair of the soul (Mermaid).

"So, the brand-new fairy tale to be taught to me this time is the high-ring sublimation word of one of you, right?"

Xia De took the document handed over by Duo Luo Qian, and the blonde young lady nodded:

"Yes, the three choices are about 'a Princess who uses ice and snow power', 'a snowman who melts in spring', and this one that was finally determined. You first look at the specific content of the story, and then guess whether this is my choice or Lei Qianya's."

"Then is there a prize for guessing right?"

Xia De asked, and Duo Luo Qian's emerald eyes were full of smiles:

"Of course."

The first material she handed to Xia De was a very thin storybook, "20 Bedtime Stories". This is the kind of bedtime story that adults use to coax children to sleep, and this also means that this story is widely circulated.

The fairy tale that Duo Luo Qian had already folded the page corner for was the longest story in this book. Xia De had encountered this story both in his hometown and in this world. The Wang Hou, jealous of Snow White's beauty, tried to let the hunter kill her stepdaughter, but didn't expect the hunter to let her escape into the forest, and she received the help of seven dwarfs.

Afterward, the Wang Hou, who possessed magic and a magic mirror, visited the Princess again with a poisoned comb and a deadly ribbon while the dwarfs were not at home, trying to murder her, but failed both times.

Until finally, she came to the door with a poisoned apple, which caused the Princess, whose skin was as white as snow, to die. The dwarfs buried her while crying, but in the end, the Princess "came back to life", and the Wang Hou also received the punishment she deserved.

Because it is a bedtime story, the version of the story Xia De read at this time is relatively short.

"How is it? Can you guess whether it was me or Lei Qianya who chose it?"

The smile of the blonde, blue-eyed Duo Luo Qian across the table became more and more gentle. She liked to watch Xia De lower his head to read, and Xia De certainly had the answer:

"It was you who chose this story."

Duo Luo Qian's expression remained unchanged:

"Why? The stories of the Sleeping Princess and the Mermaid that Lei Qianya has always chosen are all related to 'Princesses'. Instead, the protagonists of the stories I choose are often not Princesses."

Xia De put down the book:

"First of all, the ending of this fairy tale about Snow White involves coming back to life, and the story of Lei Qianya's low-ring sublimation words also involves coming back to life. These two have partial overlaps, so Lei Qianya shouldn't choose this way; secondly, I can see that Lei Qianya is seeking self-liberation.

The Sleeping Princess at the low ring was awakened by the Prince's kiss; but by the Mermaid Princess at the middle ring, she would rather perish herself than compromise. Such a Lei Qianya could not choose Snow White, who is constantly helped by others, at the high ring."

The Miss writer smiled gently, and Xia De couldn't even tell whether this was Duo Luo Qian or Lei Qianya for a moment.

"Anything else?"

"Finally, I inferred it from your personalities. Although you are connected to each other and of one mind, as the person closest to you, I can feel the differences in your personalities. This difference is even difficult to express directly in words, but in short, this fairy tale is completely not Lei Qianya's style; she wouldn't choose this."

Emerald eyes looked at Xia De like gems:

"Then, am I the kind of young lady who would choose this kind of gentle fairy tale that needs protection, right?"

Xia De's eyes were also looking at her:

"Although I know you are both listening, I won't shy away from saying this: Yes, because you are stronger than Lei Qianya."

The emerald eyes blinked twice, and Xia De continued to explain:

"Lei Qianya's strength is her protective color, a personality she forged in court life, but her heart is very soft and afraid of being hurt, so she knows she needs to become strong. This is not to say that she is actually very fragile, but she will subconsciously avoid facing those things.

But you, Duo Luo Qian, your strength is a natural personality. Although you, like her, hate tragedies and hate being someone who depends on others, you won't subconsciously avoid facing these, and you won't hate stories about being protected by others."

The blonde, blue-eyed young lady said softly:

"Actually, I am Lei Qianya."

Xia De laughed:

"Then can I kiss you now? Duo Luo Qian."

So the cat, who was lying down with its eyes narrowed, saw the two stand up and kiss passionately across the desk. The cat gave a bored "meow~"; this kind of thing always happens easily on Saturday nights.

Xia De's guess was of course correct. The fairy tale of "Snow White" was the high-ring sublimation word Duo Luo Qian chose for herself, and this was also the last one of her sublimation words:

"Match girl with ordinary background -> Cinderella, who originally had an ordinary background but finally became Wang Hou -> Snow White, who was born noble. This is my choice.

Sleeping Princess, who was born noble -> Mermaid Princess, who originally had a noble status but finally lost everything -> Fairy tale of an ordinary girl. This is Lei Qianya's choice."

After that kiss, Duo Luo Qian, who was holding her face and smiling, explained:

"This is a plan we made when we were at the low ring. I finally became a Princess from an ordinary girl, and she finally became an ordinary girl from a Princess. The two-in-one fate ring cycles between nobility and ordinariness, nested ring by ring like an Ouroboros without end.

Before I first met you, we always thought that our fates would eventually merge into one, and we had almost accepted our fate. But now it seems, Xia De, as long as you still exist, we are two completely different people. The fate of Lei Qianya and me, intertwined and spiraling, repeating in cycles, will eventually become a part of you. Please use our power to your heart's content."

Xia De was marveling at the plan of the Miss writer and the Princess:

"This is the first time I've heard you mention this plan. So, have you already chosen the sublimation word corresponding to 'Snow White'?"

"Of course."

Duo Luo Qian's mouth curled up slightly:

"I mentioned to you before that although the complexity of the story will not directly affect the effect of the sublimation word or the strange art, the more complex the fairy tale of the inspiration source, the more powerful the power we master is likely to be.

"Snow White" is that kind of relatively complex story. After all, compared to the single protagonist of "The Kiss of the Tree" or the detailed description of only one character like "The Mermaid Princess", "Snow White" has at least three parties: the Princess, the Wang Hou, and the dwarfs.

Therefore, relatively complex and diverse spirit runes and strange arts can be derived from this ancient fairy tale. There are as many as three sublimation words corresponding to this fairy tale, which is a very rare situation."

Xia De asked with great interest:

"But you haven't notified the school that you have reached the high ring yet. Through what channel were these sublimation words obtained?"

Duo Luo Qian pointed to the southeast:

"They were provided by Grace and Helen; they have a lot of ancient knowledge. In short, regarding the other two sublimation words for "Snow White", one focuses on the magic mirror, and the other focuses on the Princess encountering disasters one after another but always escaping. I chose the last one—

【Snow White plays the victim and is reborn in the drastic changes of fate.】

What needs to be used is the inspiration of my core spirit rune - 【Play】, followed by 【Ice and Snow】, 【Victim】, 【Fate】, 【Rebirth】."

Xia De listened carefully:

"Fate... In the sublimation words of Lu Lu Weiya and Yi Lu Na, fate has appeared many times."

"Now I have just been promoted to the Ninth Ring, and I happened to encounter the story of the Chosen One of Fate. I think the Ninth Ring sublimation word spirit rune should aim for this."

"Then what is the effect of the sublimation word?"

The emerald eyes blinked twice:

"Literal meaning, rebirth. There is no unified statement on the classification of sublimation words so far. You can think of this as some kind of... reversal method. It is not an attack, defense, or summoning, but once the sublimation word is used, no matter how bad the situation I face is, a major positive turning point will definitely come next."

Xia De laughed:

"This sounds even more powerful than my sublimation word. Sometimes even if I call out Miss Feilian and the others, I might not be able to get a turning point."

Duo Luo Qian's voice suddenly became very light:

"But if you call out that 'sister' who appeared in the forest, wouldn't you definitely be able to get a turning point?"

"My middle-ring sublimation word cannot be used indiscriminately. It limits enemies, limits locations and time, and after using it, my luck will become worse."

The emerald eyes narrowed slightly:

"Although there are many restrictions, calling out Lu Lu Weiya like this is also worth it."

"It's indeed worth... um?"

Xia De looked at the young lady across the table unexpectedly. The blonde, blue-eyed Miss writer's smile was very bright:

"Don't worry, I didn't let Lei Qianya hear this sentence. This is a conversation between the two of us. No need to deny it, Xia De. You are always not good at lying in front of us. Looking at your expression, it seems I guessed right; that really is Lu Lu Weiya."

There was even some self-satisfaction in the smile:

"I am probably the only person in this world who can discover this secret. I have known Lu Lu Weiya longer than all of you, and among the Chosen Ones in the forest at that time, only the four of us were closest to the Lu Lu Weiya you called out, plus..."

She used her slender right index finger to pick at her smooth chin:

"Xia De, you made Lu Lu Weiya and me 'understand' each other, even exceeding ourselves. I didn't realize it during the Battle of the Forest, but when you guessed us while blindfolded during the Year-End Festival, I suddenly thought of this answer when I was squeezed together with Lu Lu Weiya."
