Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Sleeping Beauty 13

"Thank you..." Lucia looked at the man’s retreating back, her voice soft and gentle, but her face was as cold as ice, "I’m so lucky you were here, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do."

Her arms sprouted dark green branches, her fingers extended like vines, growing longer and longer...

"It’s nothing, a trifling matter~" Tan Xiao wielded his sword to clear a pile of debris from the ground, "But you’re quite bold. I rarely see female players in the game... oh, I’m not discriminating against women. Generally, the King prefers recruiting male subjects. Do you know why?"

Lucia slowly extended her hands and asked with a smile, "Why is that?"

Just a little closer, and she would be able to pierce through his skull or his chest... to kill him instantly, letting his blood flow incessantly.

Tan Xiao, oblivious to the imminent danger behind him, chuckled and replied, "Because in this puppet game, humanity is almost extinct; we need women to save it, so of course we should try our best to keep them around!"

"Oh... you make a good point," Lucia said with a cold smirk, and swiftly thrust her vine-like arms forward!

In an instant!

The vines stopped dead in the air!

An inexplicable message echoed in her mind—

[The Princess cannot attack friends.]

What?

Lucia froze for a moment and tried to attack again!

Still no use!

The vines could not advance an inch and limply retracted back! What was going on?!!

[The Princess cannot attack friends.]

The message entered her mind once more.

Damn it!

Everything had been going smoothly, so why this situation?!

Lucia felt frustrated. If all else failed, she would have to cause trouble for the other two, but her own defense was very weak. Facing both at the same time was too risky.

Tan Xiao was still chattering away, oblivious, "Actually, I also thought what a pity it would be if I died in the game without leaving any descendants. After all, I am the sole heir of the old Tan family! ...Hey, have you ever thought about this? Personally, I prefer Asian girls, but for the sake of humanity, I wouldn’t mind leaving a mixed-race descendant... What do you think?"

He turned around with a smile to ask Lucia.

Caught off guard, he saw two vines lying on the ground.

Tan Xiao was stunned, and after a couple of seconds, he slowly lifted his head to look at Lucia’s beautiful face. "...My god, a real hybrid... plant zombie woman?"

Frowning deeply, Lucia retracted her vines and turned to run!

"Stop! Don’t run!" Tan Xiao chased after her, sword in hand, ready to strike with no sentiment of pity for her!

One vine was severed, gushing out dark black blood as if an arm had been chopped off!

Lucia screamed in agony, falling to the ground. Before she could beg for mercy, Tan Xiao stepped on her, thrusting his sword through her heart!

"Ahhh!!!"

The harrowing scream was ear-piercing; at first, it was a human voice, but it grew increasingly shrill, like the scream of mountain goblins and monsters!

Tan Xiao watched wide-eyed as a living, blonde beauty withered under his sword into a dried-up old demon, while the vines around the castle struggled and writhed, withering away!

His sword was soaked with black-green "blood" that heated the blade until it was almost too hot to handle.

Tan Xiao let go.

The once ordinary Iron Sword now shone brightly, and out of nowhere, a gorgeous Ruby appeared on the hilt, and then with a swoosh! It disappeared—

[Congratulations, the King’s Sword has been successfully transported. Please wait patiently for the game to end.]

Tan Xiao stood there dumbfounded.

After a while, he looked down at his hands in disbelief: "Is it over? ...I haven’t even done anything, and it’s finished???"

...

On the other side, Max and Ken, who had been eliminated, were even more bewildered than Tan Xiao: "It’s over just like that? But I didn’t do anything..."
