Chapter 537: Princess Fairy Tale
The second story still ends with no ending.
"My dear," said Miss Lili, frowning, "this story is even more boring and worse than the one just now. ”
"I'm sorry," Xiao Qing said softly, "then I'll try to tell the next story as interesting as possible." ”
"Isn't it over yet?"
"Far from it."
"But you're running out of time." Miss Lili said coldly.
“…… Let me go on. Xiao Qing begged with her autumn-like eyes.
"Hmph, whatever you like."
"Thank you." Xiao Qing said softly.
Sister Li, do you know, at this moment, how I wish my time was running out. Xiao Qing meditated in her heart, but she didn't say it.
When the pain and hope are gone, everything is different. Xiao Qing could feel that something in her heart was gradually awakening, her vision had changed, and the world she saw was very different even if she stood in the same place!
In this ethereal state, all the previous things were connected into a line, and Xiao Qing saw a possibility. Although this possibility seems crazy, although the possibility of this possibility is very small, Xiao Qing is willing to believe this possibility.
That's why she tells stories.
Xiao Qing hopes to amplify this possibility from Miss Lili's expression, confirm this possibility, and embrace this possibility!
So at this moment, the showdown is not to admit defeat, but to take the initiative.
"Once upon a time, there was a very special star in the sky. This star is so beautiful, like, just like Sister Li. Xiao Qing winked at Miss Lili, and she began to tell the third story.
"Hmph." Miss Lili didn't care about this compliment, and the expression on her face didn't change significantly.
But Xiao Qing is not in a hurry, the fairy tale must be told slowly, so that the hidden truth under the dream can be clearly expressed.
"It was a star of seven colors, and it suddenly appeared in the sky, like a gift from the gods to the earth. It may be that the long tail behind it hinders the speed of the star's fall, and it refuses to throw itself into the embrace of the earth, but instead floats in the night sky for a long time like a cloud in the sky. At sunrise and sunset, the stars shifted, and the people on the earth changed wave after wave, and the legends surrounding this beautiful star gradually increased. Some people say that this star symbolizes the end of the world, and when it sets, it is the moment of the destruction of the world. It is also said that this star is a gift from angels to the world and can help the world to fulfill any wish. ”
Unlike the previous story, this time, the story is very obscure. And Xiao Qing also tried her best to tell the romance, so that this story would be more like a fairy tale.
Sure enough, this fairy tale successfully attracted Miss Lili's attention.
"What happened?" Miss Lili asked softly.
"Later, the star fell." Xiao Qing said, "First it was divided into seven parts with seven colors as the boundary under the gaze of the world, and then it spread out in the night sky like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and finally floated to different corners of the earth. ”
"Interesting." Miss Lili smiled slightly, "Go ahead." ”
"Okay." Xiao Qing continued, "With the fall of the stars, the world has fallen into a huge panic, and everyone is worried about the end of the world, but fortunately, the world is still running conscientiously, and nothing bad has happened. So, the second speculation about the stars gradually took over. The number of people looking for the fragments of the stars is increasing, and everyone wants to see the remains of this beautiful star with their own eyes, and even touch the brilliant colors with their own hands to see if they can bring good luck to themselves. ”
"Can you do that?" Miss Lili asked softly.
"Yes." Xiao Qing smiled, "Because soon the first red fragment was found, and the fragment was extremely beautiful, exuding a ruby-like glow." The fragment was sent to the king's chamber at the time, and the princes and ministers were eager to see it. The king loved the fragment because it was said to be a pleasure to touch me. Now people believe that this beautiful star is a gift from the gods to the world, and it can fulfill all the wishes of the world! ”
"It's a beautiful fairy tale." Miss Lili whispered, "But I guess the story isn't over yet?" ”
"yes, it's not over yet." Xiao Qing said with a smile, "His Majesty immediately announced that the fragment of the star is the secret treasure of the kingdom, which can bless the kingdom with good weather and good weather. Whoever finds the fragment must hand it in. ”
"My dear, the fairy tale is shattered in the face of power." Miss Lili sneered and said, "The story is starting to develop towards vulgarity. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Xiao Qing said with a smile, "But the strange thing is that since then, the king has never gotten a fragment again." ”
"My dear, I have to remind you that even in fairy tales the power of the king of China is enormous."
"Yes, that's great."
"So, it's not someone who is doing it privately." Miss Lili said this without doubt, more like she was stating a fact.
"Yes."
"So, I can't find the other fragments."
"yes, I can't find it."
"Strange?" Miss Lili said, "Everyone saw the pieces fall to the earth, but why couldn't they find them? ”
"His Majesty the King is also puzzled by this question." Xiao Qing said softly, "He sent more people to search for the fragments while looking for people who might have hidden the fragments, and after more and more innocent people died, His Majesty the King had to believe that those fragments might not be found." ”
"I guess even so, this King has to keep looking, because he has no choice." Miss Lili said suddenly.
"Yes."
"Red fragments bring more than just beauty, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Qing said softly, "There is also a disaster. On the seventh day of its arrival in the palace, a volcano erupted in one of the areas of His Majesty's rule, killing countless people. At first, His Majesty didn't care, because his kingdom was so big that anything could happen. But then, every seven days, a catastrophe befell his kingdom, and each time it became more and more severe, and the number of victims increased. At this moment, His Majesty could no longer sit still, and he immediately called the kingdom's most powerful astrologer, Mr. Chris, to inquire. ”
"Chris......" Miss Lili's voice was almost inaudible, and she looked at Xiao Qing silently, as if she wanted to see through her.
This little girl, she must have added this name on purpose, in a fairy tale that looks ordinary.
What exactly is she trying to say?
"The disaster was brought about by the Red Fragments?" Miss Lili asked quietly.
"Yes." Xiao Qing said softly, "That's what Mr. Chris said. ”
"I guess there's a serious problem." Miss Lili spread her hands and said, "According to the usual direction of the story, this red fragment must not be thrown away, because it will only cause more disasters." ”
"That's right." Xiao Qing smiled, "That's what Mr. Chris said too. ”
"So, what's the solution?" Miss Lili asked softly, "It's not going to be all the fragments, is it?" ”
"That's right," Xiao Qing said with a smile, "I can only do this." ”
"So," said Miss Lili, after a moment's thought, "those fragments still fell to the ground, but they were not places where ordinary people could easily tread?" ”
"Yes."
"But Mr. Chris knows?"
"Just approximately." Xiao Qing said, "But it is too difficult to go to these six places, and the king is not sure. So, at the suggestion of Mr. Chris, the king devised a plan to select people from all over the country who could take on this important task in the future, and devote the whole country to secretly cultivating them. Since the mission is to find crystalline star shards, this project is called the Crystal Project. ”
"Huh, Project Crystal?" Miss Lili smiled shallowly, "It's really like a fairy tale." ”
"Yes," Xiao Qing said lightly, "to some people, the Crystal Project is really like a fairy tale that will never wake up. ”
"What happened in the end?" Miss Lili stared into Xiao Qing's eyes and asked, "Have you found those fragments?" ”
"All of them have been found." Xiao Qing said with a smile, "Despite all the hardships and dangers, the kingdom finally won back the tranquility, and everyone lived a happy life. ”
"Are you sure?" Miss Lili asked with a sneer.
"Nope." Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, "The only thing I can be sure of is that the people involved in the Crystal Project have successfully reached those six places, and finding all the fragments is just wishful thinking on my part. ”
"But you're still inclined to find it."
"Yes." Xiao Qing smiled sweetly, "This is a fairy tale after all, and fairy tales all need to have a happy ending." ”
"But dear princess, you can't have the same happy ending." Miss Lili said coldly, "Because reality is not a fairy tale!" ”
"Yes," Xiao Qing sighed, "but reality needs fairy tales, and these fairy tales have always supported me." ”
"But I don't see the strength to sustain you in these fairy tales." Miss Lili said coldly, "Honey, you have ten minutes left. ”
"Ten minutes?" Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Enough." ”
"What? Your Royal Highness, do you still have to tell these unknown fairy tales at the end of your life? ”
"Just let me go on." Xiao Qing said with a smile, "Anyway, it's not much." ”
"Apparently," said Miss Lili, pouting, "there is more than one." ”
"Two more." Xiao Qing said softly, "But I promise to finish it in ten minutes." ”
"Hurry up, this is your last chance." Miss Lili seemed to be a little impatient, "The first three stories are boring, and I am already inclined to your so-called admitting defeat, and the so-called showdown is all fooling me. If the last two stories still don't satisfy me, you know what to expect, my dear! ”
