Running out of breath along the way, very embarrassed.

The beautiful skirt was covered with weeds and dirty soil, and was even torn by thorny thorns.

The girl's footsteps gradually slowed down, and there was still a bit of panic on her face. She seemed to feel that she had run to a safe range, and finally stopped, panting for breath.

Most of his small face was covered by the hanging hair. He casually reached out and pinned the hair behind his ears, revealing his beautiful and delicate eyebrows.

Eli looked away calmly, and stood silently behind Ji Xingyun, guarding against the surrounding dangers with a guardian attitude.

The surroundings seemed a bit too quiet, a breeze blew past, and he smelled the familiar, soft and creamy sweet aroma again.

As if to show his sense of existence, he kept rushing towards him, and every breath was filled with the sweet and greasy breath of a girl.

Eli's breath was stagnant, and he hurriedly took half a step back.

His eyes fell on the girl's right hand.

The thin white fingers were slightly tensed, holding a smooth silver-white long sword tightly.

The hilt is inlaid with gems belonging to power and status, which are medals that only nobles can wear.

The strange patterns and patterns do not belong to the symbol of any nobleman in the kingdom, and it is a style that Eli has never seen before.

Just like the palace that suddenly appeared, this sword also made Eli feel something ominous.

Cavaliers have always believed in their intuition about danger, which is a sixth sense honed in countless crises.

"Your Highness, this sword of yours..."

"Thank you very much for today."

Ji Xingyun interrupted him, raised his eyes and looked directly at Eli: "But I hope you can help me keep this secret, don't tell anyone, okay?"

The sharp eyes glanced over the silver sword, and the moment he raised his eyes, he met the girl's eyes as clear as running water.

Can't refuse, can't refuse.

Eli clenched his fist with his left hand and put it on his heart. He knelt down on one knee and said, "I will follow your orders."

Ji Xingyun still wasn't used to such a big gift from this person, he waited patiently for a moment, and said, "Get up, is there anything you want?"

Eli was silent for a while, and said: "It is the duty of a knight to serve the princess, and it is my honor to serve you."

"But I do have an unfeeling request..."

Ji Xingyun agreed straight away: "Yes, everything is fine."

"Afterwards, I will send someone to find you, and then you can tell him the reward you want."

The beautiful princess nodded slightly, and then said goodbye to him tenderly.

It's like falling into a dream full of fantasy and unwilling to wake up. It is an adventure exclusively for princesses and knights.

Just like the plots that only appear in those old-fashioned poems sung by bards, although it is absurd, it makes people involuntarily addicted to it.

Eli lowered his eyelashes expressionlessly, and a slight light shone in his dark eyes.

He slowly stretched out his palm, and on the wide palm was a small piece of thin pink soft gauze.

***

He went out like a noble swan, but came back like a duck in distress.

Ji Xingyun was wearing a dirty long skirt with a few big holes, but it surprised the head maid.

She walked around Ji Xingyun several times in a panic, before exaggeratingly letting out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness! Where did you go? How did you make it look like this?"

"Is your body injured? Move your hands and feet to see if there is any discomfort!"

"This is not good, in case there is any hidden injury." The more the head maid thought about it, her face became paler, and she said, "I will summon the doctor for you!"

Ji Xingyun hurriedly stopped her: "I'm fine, um... I just accidentally fell."

The head maid froze for a moment, "Did you fall... a fall?"

Even if the excuse was so clumsy that it could be broken with a single poke, it could be seen from the princess's expression that he obviously didn't want more people to know about it.

The head maid has lived in the palace for a long time, and her prudence and care are almost ingrained in her blood, and she is the most sensitive person.

Naturally, she would not ask the princess what she didn't want to mention.

The maid said: "It turns out that this is the case, then Her Royal Highness should be more careful in the future."

"By the way," she said as if remembering something, "Tonight at eight o'clock in the palace there will be a welcome banquet to welcome those distinguished guests from afar."

"In order to show respect to the distinguished guests, this banquet requires the attendance of all royal families and nobles."

"The dress and accessories have been prepared for you. If you are not satisfied, I will replace it for you."

Ji Xingyun: "...I see."

System: [Congratulations to the host for triggering the side mission - is it my status or me that you admire? 】

[True love should not be limited by identity and status, it originates from the bond between souls, and is the mutual attraction of two hearts. 】

[The host is requested to hide her identity as a princess and attend this banquet as a down-and-out noble daughter. 】

Ji Xingyun: [...? 】

[Indicating the completion of the task, the reward points for successfully conquering a task target range from 5 to 10. 】

Ji Xingyun: [...OK. 】

In Ji Xingyun's opinion, today's pink long dress is gorgeous and complicated enough, but compared with these dresses on the bed, it is not enough at all.

Ji Xingyun just took a look at those dresses, and then he covered his eyes in a flash.

It seems to contain the most exquisite craftsmanship of this era, cut one by one by the most talented tailors.

Even if you don't understand its aesthetics, you still feel that just a slight touch is a kind of blasphemy.

Ji Xingyun got used to it for a while before letting go.

There are as many as ten skirts on the bed, in various colors and styles.

He struggled for a long time, but he still couldn't choose which one he should wear.

[The one on the far left, the white one. 】

Ji Xingyun followed the system's voice and looked over, his face collapsed: [But it looks so difficult to wear. 】

[Then the black one on the right. 】

【But... I don't like black very much. 】

System: [The third item from the right, sky blue? 】

Ji Xingyun frowned, observed for a while, and said: [Its waist seems to be very thin, I may not be able to wear it. 】

The skirts began to disappear one by one out of thin air, and Ji Xingyun only blinked an eye, and only the white one on the far left remained.

The system put the rest of the skirts into the space, and it was relieved: [It's all right now, you don't have to worry about it. 】

Ji Xingyun: [. . . 】

With no other options, Ji Xingyun could only put on that white dress.

He picked out a white headband and tied his hair up casually.

He didn't even look at those exquisite accessories, he just picked a small mask and put it on his face.

Since it is necessary to hide their identities, it is impossible for the front and rear servants to appear with great fanfare.

Fortunately, he sent all the servants in the castle away in advance.

Following the guidance of the system, he quietly slipped out through the back door.

The night gradually dimmed, and a few stars appeared in the sky.

The slightly curved moon hangs in the sky, revealing a quiet light.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the cries of insects could be heard, Ji Xingyun squatted down and hammered his sore legs.

The princess's castle was some distance away from the royal palace. He was wearing pointed and thin high-heeled shoes, and after only a quarter of an hour, he was too tired to walk.

Ji Xingyun: [Shouldn't there be a pumpkin carriage responsible for picking me up at this time? 】

System: [...No. 】

[There are still 15 minutes before the banquet starts, please hurry up and don't be late. 】

Ji Xingyun snorted softly. He rested for a while, and when he was about to stand up and continue walking, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings.

The sound came abruptly and strongly, as if some kind of oversized bird passed by.

Ji Xingyun looked around in panic, and froze when he caught something out of the corner of his eye.

Not far away, suddenly stood the tall figure of a man.

He was almost completely merged into the boundless night, with his back facing the moonlight, he couldn't see his face clearly, and there seemed to be thick black and viscous mist surging around him.

Sticky cold sweat began to appear on the palms, and even the legs began to weaken uncontrollably.

If only someone suddenly appeared in front of him, Ji Xingyun would not be so afraid.

But the existence in front of him does not seem to be human.

There was a pair of crow-feather-like wings on his back, and after flapping a few times, they tightened quite peacefully behind him.

Because of the distance and the dim light, Ji Xingyun could not see very clearly.

But following the shadow on the wall, it can be clearly seen that he not only has wings, but also has two pointed horns on the top of his head.

Just like the demons in the picture book, they only appear at night and are a symbol of evil and darkness.

They will lure humans to corruption, then harvest their lives and devour their souls.

Ji Xingyun held his breath, he stared at the demon in front of him, and then slowly took a few steps back.

The demon seemed to be disturbed by his subtle movements, and slowly turned his head——

The short scream was suppressed in the throat, and only a broken moan came out.

Ji Xingyun didn't care about anything, turned around and ran back.

He had never run so fast before, and even lost one of his shoes.

In order to escape faster, he also threw the other crystal slipper out.

Seeing the back of the girl running away in panic, the demon hiding in the darkness frowned slightly.

He seemed a little puzzled and puzzled, he turned his body slightly and stared straight until the girl's figure disappeared from sight.

A trace of imperceptible sadness and bewilderment flashed across the scarlet eyes, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"Don't look, people are running away."

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and the sound it made was high-pitched and thin.

It was the crow standing on the high wall who was talking.

The crow's dark eyes rolled around, and he laughed loudly: "Quack, quack, I'm dying of laughter. I just said that your appearance is not pleasing at all. You scare the princess away."

The devil's indifferent warning: "Shut up."

The crow's laughter stopped abruptly, and it turned into a black parabola, flying straight into the sky, heading towards the moon hanging in the sky.

Ji Xingyun was out of breath from running, and he complained to the system while running.

[Isn't this a fairy tale world?What was that just now?Devil or Devil? 】

[He has long and sharp horns on his head, I saw it when he turned around just now!His eyes are red too! 】

System: [... The host is requested to respect the diversity of species in the fairy tale world. 】

Ji Xingyun: [. . . 】
