Jiang Kehan and the other two exchanged glances, thinking the same thing in unison.
Shouldn't you be the most unreliable person here?
Despite their utter helplessness, they had no choice but to temporarily comply with the White Queen's wishes.
Ya Rou stepped forward, her right hand holding the fan outstretched, and introduced herself with an air of confidence that needed no further explanation.
“I am a nobleman of a certain country, and the gentleman beside me is my butler.”
She glanced at Jiang Kehan, the bear-themed model, and added.
"As for this little bear, she is a pet, please forgive her for not understanding human language."
You're the pet!
Jiang Kehan stared at Ya Rou with deadpan eyes, refusing to believe that this wasn't Ya Rou settling a personal score.
However, this time she chose to let Ya Rou off the hook for the time being, after all, she was not as naive as Ya Rou.
The White Queen looked at the magic mirror in her hand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Suddenly, a clown's voice came from the magic mirror, mockingly saying...
"She's lying! She's lying!"
"A down-on-her-luck lady is not an aristocrat, and a shrewd gentleman is a thief."
"As for Big Bear, he is the true warrior!"
The scene fell silent instantly. Jiang Kehan looked at Ya Rou with a hint of pity, noticing that the other girl's face had turned red.
However, it was clearly not shyness, but rather an urge to smash that talkative, broken mirror.
They were unaware of their specific identities in the story; Ya Rou's guess was merely a bold one.
But Ya Rou had just made those boastful remarks, and then she was slapped in the face, which obviously made her feel a little bad.
"I see..." The White Queen's smile became more sincere as she looked at Jiang Kehan.
"So it's the Warrior and her two servants."
Jiang Kehan's smile became increasingly forced. She suddenly realized that the White Queen was also a master of sowing discord.
"Actually, we're partners." She weakly raised her hand and added.
Whether the White Queen truly didn't hear or pretended not to, she just kept nodding.
“Since it is indeed a true warrior and her two servants, I can entrust this task to you with peace of mind.”
"What exactly is it?" Xiao Ting came back to her senses. She didn't mind the White Queen's teasing; she had just been thinking.
The magic mirror says she's a thief, but what exactly did she steal?
"Also, what rewards will we get for completing the task? For example, can we ask the Magic Mirror a few questions?"
Xiao Ting grabbed Ya Rou beside her. Ya Rou suddenly seemed very interested in the activity of smashing the mirror and was already quite impatient.
After all, the three of them were witches, lawless witches.
"Specifically, it's about sending some treasure and a letter to the dragon," the White Queen said.
So this was supposed to be a story of ceding territory to make peace?
Jiang Kehan seemed to be deep in thought, and then she said that a country maintained by this child is doomed.
“No problem, we can even defeat the dragon!” She stood tall and straightened her back, trying to appear more like a warrior.
But the White Queen only glanced at her, as if she were a fool.
"Why did you defeat the evil dragon? She was our savior."
Ugh?
Jiang Kehan blinked. Looking at Xiao Ting and Ya Rou, who were trying not to laugh, she suddenly realized that the problem wasn't with the three of them, but with the fairy tale itself.
If even a dragon can become a savior, then nothing is impossible.
"I invited you mainly because the route to the dragon's castle involves passing through several dangerous places."
“After all, dragons can fly, but we can’t.” The White Queen’s delicate face showed a hint of disdain, as if she couldn’t understand why the warriors weren’t very smart either.
"As for the reward, if you complete the task, you can lend the Magic Mirror to me for a few days."
The three women exchanged glances, none of them objecting to the mission. However, they were curious about what the dragon had done to become the savior of this kingdom.
"Okay." Jiang Kehan nodded as the representative, but she still asked that question.
"But what did the evil dragon do that everyone is so grateful to her?"
The White Queen propped her cheek on her hand, looking at the rising sun outside, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
"She rescued us from the clutches of the underworld princess."
She turned around and looked at the three of them seriously.
"Do you know how miserable everyone's life is under the evil rule of the underworld princess?"
"She actually wants an 80-year-old to tap dance!"
"That's tap dancing!"
"And this was from her youngest batch of tasks, like stuffing eggs back into chickens' rear ends, and giving children New Year's gifts that were delivered by the ton."
"He's not even human!"
It was clear that the White Queen was very emotional, and tears even streamed down her face.
She covered her face and sobbed softly.
"So when the dragon abducted her, everyone was happy, and even worried that the dragon might not be able to stand the underworld princess and would send her back."
"That's why we need a warrior to go and check the situation to make sure the princess doesn't come back."
Jiang Kehan looked at the crystal heart hanging at her waist, which was shimmering with a faint red light.
This means the White Queen is hiding something.
But Jiang Kehan could tell that her sadness was genuine. After a brief silence, she asked the White Queen a question that seemed unrelated.
"Is the underworld princess your child?"
Jiang Kehan looked at the White Queen intently, her eyes resolute.
"No." The White Queen wiped away her tears, seemingly trying to smile, but her lips drooped uncontrollably.
"But she was indeed raised by me."
“Okay, I understand.” Jiang Kehan nodded. “We will take the things to the dragon.”
And your concern for the underworld princess... Jiang Kehan kept these words to herself.
She had already realized that the White Queen really wanted to see the situation of the underworld princess with her own eyes.
Although the White Queen may seem like a child and a bit unreasonable, she is also a "mother".
The White Queen probably has a crush on the underworld princess.
She could only use this excuse to mask her true sadness because everyone else was happy about the departure of the underworld princess.
Using this act, which seems to be a recollection of past pranks, to mask one's longing and concern for loved ones.
This will only make the sorrow more unsolvable. Jiang Kehan doesn't know if the more the White Queen recalls, the more she will want that face that only exists in her memories.
But she knew she couldn't hold back any longer!
If Jiang Kehan is not mistaken, the so-called White Queen and the underworld princess are actually a distorted version of the Snow White story.
She was all too familiar with this kind of regret that could only be silently endured!
Jiang Kehan gripped her hands tightly, her eyes seemingly burning with fire.
You green worm, you deserve to die!!!
Chapter 220 The Headless Horseman Louis
"Thank you..." The White Queen seemed to lose interest after mentioning the underworld princess.
She continued wiping away her tears, speaking in a low voice.
"As for the goods, they will be carried by the kingdom's first knight, who will accompany you to the dragon's castle."
"You will cross the Snow Country of No Sun, the Happy Casino, and the Pearl Sea, and finally reach the Dragon Castle."
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched. There were actually three experts as strong as this children's kingdom?
That's giving your wife way too much credit. You're being too kind to her.
"The First Knight wouldn't be carrying the strongest wooden sword in the whole village, would he?" Jiang Kehan asked tentatively, having already noticed.
Only by being sufficiently abstract can one truly immerse oneself in this abstract fairy tale.
“The First Knight naturally has his own sword,” the White Queen said, pointing westward.
"You'll see her once you go out the west gate. The goods are in her house the whole time, and she'll guide you to your destination."
Ya Rou secretly poked Jiang Kehan and whispered in Jiang Kehan's ear.
"Are you really going to deliver the goods? Shouldn't you catch that green worm first?"
Jiang Kehan looked westward and spoke in a mysterious tone.
"The West will give us the answer."
Ya Rou didn't give Jiang Kehan a friendly look. She grabbed Jiang Kehan's arm and her wet breath brushed against Jiang Kehan's ear.
"Sister, stop playing tricks on us, you're really good at acting."
Jiang Kehan felt an itch in her ear and couldn't help but twitch.
For a witch, pinching flesh doesn't hurt much, but Jiang Kehan couldn't stand Ya Rou's breath.
Mermaid witches are special; their breathing is very moist, really moist.
If I had to describe it, it would probably feel like rubbing your bodies together with soap suds.
"Because the green worm is also in the west, I feel that she is heading towards the evil dragon."
"After all, she needs powerful allies to deal with us."
