Chapter 107: I Was a Princess
"At what cost?" Li Xiaoyu began to hesitate as soon as he heard this, often the free ones are the most expensive, and he knew from the weird smile on the old witch's face that there must be fraud in this.
"Come in and you'll know."
"Forget it, I still have something to do."
Li Xiaoyu turned around to leave, but the old witch immediately chased her out to stop her, opened her arms and said, "Girl, don't hurry to go, if you don't like flames, I still know other magic, do you want to learn the transformation technique?"
Li Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and suddenly dimmed, "Tempting things often cost more, I guess you either want my soul or my freedom, so I won't fall for you."
"Where do you want to go, girl? I just want your looks, so let's swap them?"
"Die, you." Li Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, completely lost interest, and shouted at the street in front of him, "Xiaolan! Are you around here?! When I hear you, I should say it! Xiaolan?"
"Girl, girl." The old witch caught up, "I just need your looks for a day, oh no, half a day?"
Seeing that Li Xiaoyu didn't hear it, the old witch said anxiously, "I'm going to have half an hour, okay? You lend me half an hour's face, and I'll teach you fire magic and shapeshifting!"
"You can transform into a shapeshifter, can't you just change what you want? Why do you have to use my face?"
"Girl, you don't know, I can only become a cute little animal, not someone else's appearance."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu stood still, "Cute little animal? It's kind of interesting, but what are you going to do with my face for half an hour?"
"Girl, please help me, although my appearance may not seem credible, I really am not a bad person." The old witch sighed, "Actually, I was a princess."
"I don't believe it."
"Of course, it's hard to believe such high-sounding words all of a sudden." The old witch said, "But the magic contract does not lie, you can ask a well-known wizard from other stalls to be a notary, I only need your appearance for half an hour."
Li Xiaoyu asked hesitantly, "If you were a princess, how did you become like this?"
"It all started when Fairytale Town was first founded." The old witch stepped forward to hold Li Xiaoyu's hand and pulled her back, "We princesses in fairy tales live in a dream castle, cross the wizard street, cross the bridge of the Aqua River, and you can see that castle from a distance."
"Is there only a princess in the castle?"
"Well, that castle is inhabited by all the princesses from fairy tales, and I am Princess Jasmine from Aladdin's Lamp, I wonder if you've heard that story?"
"Of course I did, and I've seen the movie." Li Xiaoyu withdrew her hand very uncomfortably, standing in front of the stall and not entering the magic prop shop, she looked at the witch and said disdainfully, "Don't think I'm easy to deceive.
I've seen Princess Jasmine, who is the mayor's wife next to Mayor Aladdin, and now she lives well, it's not good for you to pretend to be someone, just pretend to be someone I've seen?"
Hearing this, the old witch suddenly cried bitterly, and she no longer asked Li Xiaoyu to continue to believe, but just turned around and returned to the store.
Li Xiaoyu stood outside the store, and could vaguely hear the cry inside, and the big-nosed shopkeeper of the stall next to him said, "You don't have to pay attention to her, she is a madman, and she knows a few low-level tricks by herself.
When she first opened the shop, she bought a magic book for transformation from me!"
"Is it true that she says she's Princess Jasmine?"
"Aha! I said I was Gandalf! But I won't lie to you, I'm the famous Gargamel!" Big Nose picked up a fat cat from under the stall, "There's a cat for proof!" If you want to learn magic, come to me and read the magic book, make sure you are self-taught!"
Li Xiaoyu saw him pinching the cat's neck hard, and suddenly lost his good impression of him, frowned and said, "A kitten can be carried like that, such a big cat will hurt!" Let it go!"
"Oh! It's used to it." Gargamel let go of the cat and smiled flatteringly, "Or you can too
Let's go to the shop across the street, which is the shop of the most beautiful witch Francesco.
Anyway, don't bother with that madman, it's going to hurt you."
The more he said this, the more Li Xiaoyu wanted to find out, and she ignored Gargamel, pushed the door and walked into the old witch's prop shop.
The old witch was now squatting on the ground and sobbing, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Li Xiaoyu looked around at the empty shop, except for a single bed and a few dusty books, there seemed to be nothing left for sale in this prop shop.
"I think you have something hard to hide, and if you're willing to be honest with me, maybe I can lend you my look."
"I'm telling the truth!" The old witch wiped her tears, "I am Princess Jasmine, but no one believes me, not even Aladdin......
"Although you cry very sadly, if you are Princess Jasmine, then who are you who I saw not long ago?" Li Xiaoyu took out the walkie-talkie from the pocket of his jacket, "Look, this was given to me by Mayor Aladdin himself."
"Hey—I know you've seen Mayor Mare and must have seen the fake Princess Jasmine." The old witch sighed, "But the god of the lamp dwells in the Holy Pond, and Aladdin, who has no magic lamp, is only a mortal fetus.
The witch knew my story and took away my appearance in exchange with her, and although the witch had all the questions to answer during the confrontation, there were also loopholes, and she couldn't even remember the day when Aladdin and I first met in fairy tales, but Aladdin believed the fake one and didn't believe me."
"Why? Is the reason he doesn't believe it just because of your looks?"
"......No," said the old witch, "Aladdin says that the matter is too long ago for him to remember the date, and therefore the question cannot be counted.
I'm really Princess Jasmine, and after materialization, not all spirits want to follow the storyline, I used to have my own lover, but he, like all princes, was a scumbag."
"Isn't your lover Aladdin?"
"No, after materializing, I fell in love with a prince and didn't go to Aladdin." At this, the old witch clenched her fists, "The prince's enemy is the witch, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be what I am now.
But as soon as I became like this, he abandoned me.
I've been looking for him for a long time, and I don't know where he's gone.
Afterward...... My heart was also completely cold, and I didn't look for it anymore, so I applied for a store here in Fairy Tale Town as a witch, in fact, I wanted to research a way to break the curse.
Until now, I haven't studied it, and although I have learned the fireball technique and some transformation techniques, I know that with my little effort, I will not be able to seek revenge against the witch.
What's more, she still has the status of the mayor's wife."
