Chapter 1289: Shaya's Whisper
With all bets on the line, the twelve monarchs from Nightmare World turned their attention to the ongoing stage of ladies, without making any further changes.
The faceless god playing the prince.
The first slime to appear is Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword.
Both sides are making their debut at the Red Heart Queen's ball, especially the faceless god playing the role of the "prince", which is the first exception in the history of Red Heart Queen's Masquerade.
The nightmare monarchs are also curious about what kind of performance the guests from the Endless God's Domain will present with the "prince".
They will give scores according to their own hearts. At this stage, their existence is hardly constrained, and it is impossible for anyone to bribe them to cheat.
In previous Red Heart Queen's Masquerades, the Nightmare Sovereigns have enjoyed the stage with great interest. The scores they give are genuine and there is no cheating.
Oh, do you still remember a certain God Slaying Sky Sword?
In that year, her performance as a lady showcased the ability to cut stars with one sword, then ten stars, and even a hundred stars.
Each sword strike was more ferocious than the last, with a threat level that even made the Nightmare Sovereigns shiver. However, they all collectively gave this God Slaying Sky Sword a score of zero.
No matter how powerful you are, this is a ball that highlights the elegance of ladies. It is a stage that embodies the charm of women, formed by the Will of Nightmares. Performances like breaking the sword of stars have nothing to do with elegance.
From another perspective, this is also a unique stage of Endless God's Domain that doesn't judge based on strength. Even the powerful God Slaying Sky Sword, who can break the rules and snatch gifts, can only end up fleeing in a sorry state.
In that Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, there were no real winners.
The Twelve Nightmare Sovereigns are all looking forward to seeing the exceptionally talented participants showcase their ladylike elegance on the renowned stage of Nightmare World.
Um, just a bunch of idle guys with nothing better to do.
......
"Click!" The enormous and foolish spider moved slowly, step by step, approaching the motionless faceless god.
Until now, Yun Xi was a fool for not understanding who the real identity of the Queen of Assyria was.
Actually, it should have been noticed back then that the young Queen of Assyria had facial features that were about 67% similar to Shaya Longnis's, and the puppet White Moon he created had a natural talent for hearing the whispers of ancient gods.
So, it was you, Shaya Longnis!
After realizing how much of an advantage he had gained with the Slime Sky Sword, Yun Xi was sweating profusely.
In the world of Primitive Dragon, he did things with her and White Moon together, in various ways.
Not only normal, but also abnormal... a posture that only three people can use...
In that web of lies about the world, there were too many memories that made one blush and have a racing heart when recalling them. They were things seen in dreams, but also real events.
In the end, Shaya Longnis took White Moon away, and her words to him carried a special meaning.
Now, Yun Xi understands the meaning of those words.
It turns out that everything didn't just end like that. It was more like the beginning after the marriage that was like a lie.
"At times like this, I really don't know what to do."
"After all, I'm not used to showing my weaknesses to others." Shaya Longnis sat on the giant, clumsy spider, looking at the expressionless faceless god with a complicated expression in her eyes.
At this moment, Yun Xi once again felt a great sense of relief, knowing that he was hidden within the core of the faceless god. If he were to face Shaya Longnis with his true identity now, he would definitely be exposed.
Because at this very moment, his cheeks were burning hot, making it nearly impossible for him to lift his head.
"Show your best self, just like expressing love in words, and show your charming qualities. Make Lilibet lose its usual composure!" Shaya Longnis recited her agreement with Dusk Witch Flora.
Yes, what Flora asked for was such a simple matter. Provoking Lilibet was just a side task for her.
Flora wanted to make use of her special abilities and achieve high scores on stage to shake Lilibet's determination.
Shaya Longnis was also puzzled as to why achieving high scores would shake Lilibet's determination.
Furthermore, the fundamental problem was that Shaya Longnis didn't understand how to express love in words.
From childhood to adulthood, the Queen of Assyria had never encountered a suitable romantic prospect.
Shaya Longnis, as a Child of God belonging to the Slime race, was even more clueless about it.
The only time that comes close to "falling in love" is right here, in this place where dreams meet the prince and where they finally become engaged and bind their destinies together.
What exactly is love? For Shaya Longnis, it's still a century-old puzzle.
The slime clan, capable of asexual reproduction and continuously splitting itself with enough resources, never had the concept of romantic love.
Being able to reproduce and sustain oneself, there is naturally no room for the romantic feelings that arise from the desire to bear offspring.
If it weren't for that incredible dream, whether it be the Queen of Assyria or Shaya Longnis, love would probably have no place in their lives.
"Let me ask you something, when you want to propose to someone, what should you do?" Sitting on top of a huge, foolish spider, Shaya Longnis earnestly asked Yun Xi.
How would I know about something like that? It's beyond me! Yun Xi expressed that it was beyond his abilities.
Although, he did once propose to a million brides.
"I have a goal that I long to achieve. Even though I haven't found it yet, I am an eternal concept. As long as the slime clan exists in this world, I will have infinite time to search for him."
"No matter where he is, whether he is human or some other kind of race, I will definitely find him."
"Then, I will propose to him."
"Make him mine, so he will never leave me."
"Perhaps, I still don't know anything about love."
"Most things in this world, once you peel back the surface, are plain to see - filled with dull, unpleasant, and chaotic things."
"After discovering this truth, I understood that I am a despicable person."
"I won't allow myself to become weak. I hate being eliminated, and it's unbearable if I can't be the most admired existence."
"After all, I really hate losing."
"So even if I'm greeted with ugliness, filthiness, and dirtiness, if I don't look down on others from a high place, my existence would lose meaning."
"I can't treat everyone with equal tenderness."
I can't sincerely pray for the people who are important to me.
"I think it's a good thing when someone important to me feels the same pain and cries for me."
"For the things I like, I prefer to eat them."
