The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

(???)????? ??? ?

After listening to Princess Huachao's story, the peony fairy couldn't help but admire her kindness and gratitude.

"Since you are so kind and righteous, I will definitely help you find the demon-suppressing tower in the mountain temple."

The little flower fairy brought Princess Huachao to the mountain temple, and the princess was ready to enter without hesitation.

But the little flower fairy stopped me and said, "Sister, that place is only for living people to pay tribute, the mountain god does not live there. He lives in another mountain god's mansion, you will not find the "Qiankun Tower" if you go there."

"Ah! What should I do? It's easy to find the mountain god's temple, but where can I find the mountain god's residence!" Princess Hua Chao looked around and saw tall mountains and forests everywhere.

"Hehe... Sister, don't worry. I have a way to find it. I've been to the Mountain God's Mansion with the Mountain God's men before, so I know how to get in. I also know where the Qiankun Tower is."

"That's great. I didn't expect you to know so much." Princess Huachao happily patted the little flower fairy's three-colored petals.

"Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle." The little flower fairy shook the branch a little exaggeratedly: "Sister, I have something good to give you. This is the "Morning Glow Honeydew" condensed from my essence." With a flash of light, a bottle of honeydew slowly fell from the pistil of the mountain peony essence.

The Sixth Princess reached out to catch it, and a faint orchid-like, relaxing and pleasant floral fragrance spread out and floated into the Sixth Princess's heart: "Hmm!... How can there be such a wonderful fragrance? What did my sister give me this for?"

"Sister, you don't know that the Qiankun Tower in the treasure pavilion is guarded by a tower-guarding beast. This beast is no ordinary beast, but an ancient mythical beast called the Iron-eating Beast. This beast likes to eat nectar the most, so it will definitely like my honey. However, it would be even better if there was something that could stun it and add honey to it. In this way, as long as it eats the honey, we can easily succeed."

After hearing this, the princess couldn't help but pat the petals of the peony flower again and said, "Little flower fairy, no wonder you can become a fairy in the mountains and forests. It turns out you are a clever little ghost. How about I just call you Lingmi from now on?"

"Spiritual honey...it sounds so beautiful." The little flower fairy spun happily on the spot, spiritual energy radiating like blooming fireworks, floating down in drops.

Princess Huachao conjured a wine bottle with a faint orchid scent in her hand. "This is the wine brewed by the thousand-year-old coral in my water cluster. I'll give it to that beast monster."

"Sister, it's not a monster. When it becomes cute, it will melt your heart. You'll know when you see it later." The little flower fairy explained with a smile.

The Sixth Princess added "Morning Glow Honeydew" into the coral wine, and the aroma of the wine instantly became more fragrant, with a hint of orchid honey in the coral wine aroma.

The princess waved her hand lightly and took a light sniff. She couldn't help but smack her lips and praised: "It smells so good! If I didn't have something important to do, I would really like to try it!"

"Hehe... I'm afraid this jar is not enough. Sister needs to prepare some more. The iron-eating beast is huge, and one jar of wine cannot defeat it."

"That's easy. Just prepare some more." The Sixth Princess raised her hand and summoned another jar of fine wine.

Everything was ready. Princess Huachao followed the little flower fairy and came to a towering old pine tree under the mountain temple. It was a lush and green ancient tree that looked no different from others except for its height. It stood quietly and motionless in the mountain breeze.

The Sixth Princess was still looking around curiously, but Ling Mi called out softly, "Sister, follow me closely. I am going to break into the mountain temple! You must follow my movements and not make any mistakes, otherwise we will alarm the mountain god and we will be in danger of being killed."

Lingmi was seen circling the pine tree quickly, three times to the left, three times to the right, and then slapping the trunk three times.

Princess Huachao followed the little flower fairy closely, following her movements without making any mistakes.

Suddenly, a magnificent palace appeared before my eyes, seemingly illusory in the dazzling mist.

Ling Mi led the way in front without saying a word. After passing through the long and rugged path, they soon arrived at a remote and quiet side hall.

The Sixth Princess raised her eyes and saw three large characters "Treasure Pavilion" written on the plaque on the door of the side hall. The huge hall was completely silent, so quiet that it was terrifying.

He flashed into the hall, but found it dark and deep, with only a tall and exquisite pagoda placed in the middle. The tower body was glittering and surging around the tower, and golden threads were circling around the tower like golden dragons.

Princess Huachao was anxious and wanted to take the Demon Suppression Tower. Ling Mi whispered in her ear: "Sister, don't be anxious. This will alarm the tower guarding beast 'Iron Eating Beast'. If you wake it up, you and I will have to die here tonight."

The princess then remembered that there was a divine beast guarding the tower in the hall. She took a sidelong look and was so frightened that she took several steps back.

I saw a huge black and white beast lying quietly not far from the tower. Although the beast was lying quietly, the evil spirit surging around it made everyone terrified. Its saliva was dripping from its pair of sharp fangs, and its sharp claws seemed like it would tear the creature in front of it to pieces in an instant.

Princess Huachao approached the iron-eating beast trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, and placed a large bottle of honey wine in front of the beast's nose.

The iron-eating beast smelled the sweet aroma of the mead and started drinking it without caring about anything else. It finished the whole jar of wine in an instant. After finishing it, it was still not satisfied, so it stood up and looked around to see if there was any more fragrant wine.

But he found a beautiful woman standing in his palace. The beast had a pair of lantern-like eyes flashing red light, and it stared at the beautiful woman, as if it wanted to swallow her in one gulp.

"Hulu..." It actually swallowed its saliva.

The huge bear paw slapped towards Princess Huachao. Princess Six was unable to dodge and was grabbed by the bear's palm. The bear held her close to its eyes, and the bear's eyes were squinting. The bear stretched its scarlet nose to sniff the princess, and its sticky saliva immediately flowed down.

The Sixth Princess was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't know what to do for a moment and could only hold her head and tremble.

The iron-eating beast raised the bear paw in front of its eyes, and a hint of tenderness slowly flashed in its pair of dark circles and flashing bear eyes.

The beast saw that his action frightened the princess, so he loosened his paws and the princess felt much better. He quickly moved his fingers between the paws and offered a larger jar of mead, which had a stronger aroma.

When the beast smelled the aroma of orchid nectar, how could it resist the temptation? The aroma of thousand-year-old coral wine plus orchid nectar made the ferocious iron-eating beast turn into a cute black and white bear in just a moment.

The cute little black and white bear slid up to Princess Hua Chao step by step, and actually hugged Princess Hua Chao's legs and started to act coquettishly. He also kept wanting to get close to the princess, making whimpering sounds from his mouth.

Princess Huachao couldn't help but stretch out her hand to rub its soft fur and pat the Yingying monster's head: "You are so good. Why would you let such a cute little furry beast guard this tower? It seems that the mountain god is also confused."

Before he could finish, he saw the soft and cute animal leaning over and falling asleep: "Oh my...how come this guy is so cute even when he is sleeping!"

The Sixth Princess forgot for a moment that she was here to take the Qiankun Pagoda and just squatted down to play with the drunk bear.

Ling Mi reminded her, "Sister, let's get down to business quickly. If the mountain god finds out, it will be the end of us. None of us can escape and we will become spiritual fruits for him to make pills."

The Sixth Princess rubbed the little bear's head vigorously and said, "It is more important to save Young Master Yang first. It is a pity that you, my little cutie, have to stay in these desolate mountains to serve the old mountain god. If you could follow my father, I could play with you every day."

He turned around and walked closer to the Qiankun Tower, reached out and took it down and hid it in his arms, then tiptoed back the same way.

After leaving the mountain temple, Princess Hua Chao rushed all the way to the dilapidated thatched house at the entrance of the village.

It was almost dawn, the darkest time of the night, and the evil aura hanging over the thatched hut was even heavier than when it had just left.

Princess Huachao stood outside the thatched cottage, her pretty face full of worry. She shouted in a stern voice, "The fox demon in the house, come out quickly and stop trying to harm people. This princess is here, come out and fight."

A dark purple light flashed, and a graceful and charming girl stood in the thatched cottage, smiling coquettishly: "Hey! ... Where did my husband hook up with such a beautiful fairy-like girl? Why do you want to share a husband with me!"

Princess Huachao was so angry that her cheeks immediately turned red.

The mountain peony flower spirit couldn't help but worry, "The fox is charming and seductive, while the princess is pure and innocent. I wonder if the princess can defeat this evil beast!"
