"Simply put, I've been responding to the Queen Mother's questions, pretending to be the so-called magic mirror," the underworld princess explained with a shrug.
"However, because that mirror is cursed, it cannot enable face-to-face communication, otherwise I would really like to talk to my mother."
Her voice was slightly low, and her eyes revealed longing, but she quickly regained her high spirits.
"Let's go up to the castle first; this isn't a good place to entertain guests."
The underworld princess smiled and whistled, and soon several pterosaurs descended from the sky.
"Grab their feet, let's go up!"
"As for the goods, they will bring them up as well."
Chapter 237 She's Just Grown Up
Jiang Kehan casually grabbed the pterosaur's foot; surprisingly, it looked pretty cool.
It was like when Meng Yilinqi died and went hunting on Azure Star.
She looked down at the volcano that was gradually becoming blurry, then suddenly touched her head, looked curiously at the underworld princess flying in front of her, and asked loudly.
"By the way, what about the evil dragon that captured you?"
"Ah, she's cooking." The underworld princess answered Jiang Kehan's question as if it were common knowledge. "Do you need to see her for something?"
"It seems like our goods are meant for the evil dragon." Jiang Kehan looked away guiltily.
It sounds incredibly strange that a valiant hero would deliver supplies to an evil dragon, allowing the dragon to continue imprisoning the princess.
Especially with the princess right in front of her, she felt even more guilty for doing something wrong.
"It's alright. That dragon doesn't care about anything except eating. I'll take these goods for her." The underworld princess replied without changing her expression, seemingly oblivious to Jiang Kehan's underlying meaning.
"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship," Jiang Kehan said with a forced smile, looking at Bai Ma Ji who was practically grinding her teeth.
She felt that when the White Horse Princess saw the evil dragon, she would definitely draw her sword and demand a duel.
The grudge against Niu Tou must be avenged!
The underworld princess smiled gently, saying, "It's alright, after all, she's my favorite little pet."
pet?
Jiang Kehan looked at the underworld princess in silence, her lips twitching.
She had already learned from her casual conversation with Louis that the dragon was a ferocious black dragon, its body resembling a mountain range stretching for hundreds of meters, capable of blotting out the sky when it crouched down.
Clearly, the underworld princess is just a normal person; her strength is neither extraordinary nor lacking.
Not to mention those three witches, even the White Horse Princess could easily overpower ten or eight underworld princesses.
Although if there really were that many princesses, Princess White Horse would only drool, looking as lewd as she is now.
When White Horse Princess heard that the evil dragon was the pet of the underworld princess, her first reaction was not surprise, but relief.
As expected, the underworld princess and she are a perfect match. What is an evil dragon?
Isn't it supposed to be a small pet that comes with the dowry?
Louis stared coldly at the dreamy White Horse Princess, and began to seriously consider whether he should interfere with her pursuit of the underworld princess.
Although it was very immoral, she was very uneasy about entrusting the underworld princess to such a sleazy person.
But before Louis could figure it out, they had already arrived at the Dragon Castle.
The pterosaur flew over the enormous window and placed them on the luxurious hall.
Jiang Kehan looked around and felt like a child who had accidentally wandered into a land of giants. Everything here was enormous, and she couldn't even reach the chairs.
The underworld princess, however, clapped her hands with practiced ease, and soon several giant insects rolled over, resembling colorful tires or curled-up centipedes.
The insects rolled in front of the group, spread out their bodies, and transformed into steps.
"Come on, my home is on the table." The underworld princess smiled and winked at the group. "Isn't that amazing?"
Jiang Kehan nodded. This was different from the witch's technology. Using the power of living beings to make things easier for herself gave her a wonderful feeling.
She followed the steps made of insects up to the tabletop and soon arrived at the home of the underworld princess.
To her surprise, the other party's house was not luxurious, but a simple cottage, though a lawn had been specially created in front.
“Princess…” After Louis came up and saw the scene before her, she looked at the underworld princess in silence, a hint of heartache in her eyes.
"I remember you used to really like fancy things, didn't you?"
"Hmm." The underworld princess patted her knee, a confident smile spreading across her face.
"I don't hate it now, but I built this little house myself, isn't it great!"
Louis felt her heart breaking. As the knight who used to take care of the princess, she clearly remembered that the princess was a woman who never lifted a finger and knew nothing about housework.
Aside from the fact that mischief seems to be an innate instinct.
When the underworld princess was captured by the evil dragon, she was only 17 years old.
What exactly did she go through to grow up to be able to support herself and even build her own home?
Louise's flames seemed to dim, and she became somewhat dejected. She couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling a surge of resentment.
The underworld princess quietly walked up to her, gently pried open her tightly clenched hand, and then took it in her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now, aren't I?" The underworld princess smiled mischievously. "But I'll still secretly hide your head while Louis is sleeping."
Jiang Kehan and Xiao Ting exchanged glances, gaining a deeper understanding of the underworld princess's perverse sense of humor for the first time.
You even hid Louis's head? Are you even human?!
"Princess, you're still as funny as ever." Louis felt the comforting words from the underworld princess, slowly exhaled, and forced a smile.
"Whatever you need, Louis will get it for you, after all, Louis has always been your knight."
"Even if the enemy is a dragon, I will draw my sword!" Her voice was full of power as she looked earnestly at the underworld princess.
“Me too!” Princess White Horse raised her hand without hesitation. “I came here to save the princess.”
"Let's get married on the side," she thought to herself as she looked intently at the underworld princess.
The underworld princess looked at the group of people who seemed to understand each other, chuckled, scratched her head, and said...
"Is everyone misunderstanding something? I asked the dragon to take me away on my own initiative."
well?!!!
Jiang Kehan and the others stared wide-eyed, filled with doubt.
Just as the underworld princess was about to explain, she heard her stomach rumble, which made her unusually shy. She quickly took Louis's hand and walked into the house.
“Let’s talk while we eat. Oh, by the way,” she turned around and looked seriously at the others, “did you bring any food? I can’t cook.”
Jiang Kehan nodded blankly and took out some food from her personal space.
She has more and more questions on her mind now, which has left her in a state of temporary confusion.
"As expected of my hero!" The underworld princess smiled happily as she took the food from Jiang Kehan and spoke with satisfaction.
"I'm so tired of the takeout from this awful place! Everyone, come in and have a seat."
Jiang Kehan touched her head, feeling like she was finally getting a brain, and suddenly asked the underworld princess, "Um, didn't you say the evil dragon was cooking?"
"Yes." The underworld princess put the food on a plate and placed it on the table.
Jiang Kehan tentatively asked, "Then won't you eat the food she makes?"
The underworld princess looked at Jiang Kehan with the kind of look one would give an idiot, and shrugged.
"I can't eat what the dragon makes."
"Is her skill level very low?" Xiao Ting asked curiously.
"No, but she's always the same. No matter what the food is, she can turn it into charcoal and then eat it with relish." Several black lines appeared on the black princess's forehead. Obviously, she had also thought about having the evil dragon take charge of cooking for her.
But when she saw that the dozen or so dishes the dragon had prepared were all different kinds of charcoal, she realized that there was a difference between humans and dragons.
So the underworld princess resolutely chose to order takeout.
"But that's not what you're really interested in, is it?" She happily ate the cake in her hand and looked at everyone. "Ask whatever you want."
Louis grabbed the white horse princess who was about to ask if they could get married, and looked at the underworld princess with concern.
"Princess, what do you mean by saying you willingly let the evil dragon take you away?"
"This?" The underworld princess looked at the white cake in her hand, her smile gradually fading, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
She took out a recorder from her person and spoke with some regret.
"Actually, the so-called evil dragon is something that happened after I found this flute. It's called the Dragon Flute. After playing it, you can become a so-called dragon knight and make a contract with the evil dragon."
"However, my first thought after finding it was that it was a prank, an unprecedented prank."
The underworld princess was lost in memories, murmuring her hidden story.
"I want the dragon outside to cooperate with my act, pretending to be about to kidnap me to scare everyone."
"Although the dragon is actually socially awkward, her appearance successfully fooled everyone else."
"But..." She looked at the cake in her hand, a bitter taste welling up in her mouth, very faint, but impossible to erase.
The hero's sword is ready, waiting to be drawn when the dragon comes to seize her.
Yes, in the original script, the underworld princess didn't need anyone to save her. She would face the evil dragon that captured her head-on, engage in a heroic duel with it, and ultimately win victory and everyone's respect.
This is a fantasy unique to 17-year-old girls.
But before that, after she secretly slipped out of the room, she encountered for the first time the malice suppressed by the White Queen, the malice directed at her.
"Tell me, if such a powerful dragon comes to steal the princess, should we give up?"
"What are you talking about?! We must persevere for the sake of the White Queen!"
"That's true, but perhaps the kingdom will be better off after the princess leaves, after all, she..."
More fragmented complaints, like daggers, pierced the girl's illusions. She leaned against the wall, gradually sliding down, and could no longer hold the wooden sword in her hand.
For the first time, the world of Wuyou, the underworld princess, was filled with storms. She silently looked at her hands, the hands that had played so many pranks, and for some reason, she wanted to cry.
"I just wanted to make everyone, who are usually so serious, laugh..."
“Clearly…” She had many reasons, but she could no longer convince herself.
