Global Collapse

Chapter 269 The Little Princess Eating Apples

Princess Brown Sugar's room is almost as big as the living room outside.

Because of her large size, her room also has the largest bed in the entire house.

And the furniture was designed specifically for her size; this room is the one with normal proportions. The chairs outside, which are the size of small stools, are simply heartbreaking!
As soon as Gu Mian entered, she looked around. The furnishings in the room were very old and looked quite dated, even older than the things outside.

He paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled...

Just after he came in, Princess Brown Sugar suddenly pushed the door shut, as if afraid that what she was about to say would be overheard by others.

"Don't trust them!"—These were the first words Princess Brown Sugar said to Gu Mian after she slammed the door shut.

Gu Mian has no idea how the plot will develop. Whether he will have the chance to wear Elizabeth's glass slippers is still unknown, but that's not what Gu Mian cares about.

He glanced at the somewhat old furniture in the room again: "Why do you say that?"

“The outside world is full of man-eating demons,” Princess Black Sugar seemed unaware of where Gu Mian was looking.

She lowered her voice further as she said this: "Actually, I am Princess Black Sugar, the princess of this country. I'm trapped here by them, and even if I escape, I can't get out of the forest by myself... Why don't we escape together tomorrow? When we get back to the castle, I'll tell my father that you are a prince from another country who rescued me..."

This storyline is completely independent; the kind princess is deceived by five cunning people and becomes a housewife.

If it were published in a weekly magazine, it might become a touching and tear-jerking story.

However, if the plot develops this way, then the next step is to marry the princess.

Gu Mian remembered that her mission in this instance wasn't to marry the princess, but to escape "Fairy Tale City".

Although he wouldn't lose out by marrying a beautiful princess halfway through his life, it wouldn't really make a difference.

"Wait a minute," Gu Mian suddenly interrupted Black Sugar Princess, "Can I ask you a question?"

Princess Brown Sugar paused for a moment, then asked, "What's the problem?"

"When you came to this forest, those five dwarfs were already here, weren't they?"

The princess nodded: "That's right, they were already here back then."

“Your room must have been furnished after you arrived; those little dwarves wouldn’t use furniture this big,” Gu Mian continued.

Princess Brown Sugar nodded again, seemingly not quite understanding why Gu Mian said that.

Gu Mian continued, "I noticed a piece of furniture outside that looks a bit off. Have the dwarves suddenly changed any furniture or anything like that?"

Princess Brown Sugar shook her head: "No, they never changed anything in the house..."

By this point, Gu Mian had already figured out some things.

He interrupted Princess Brown Sugar, "Alright, I'll run away with you tomorrow..." Seemingly surprised that Gu Mian was so easily persuaded, Princess Brown Sugar was overjoyed for a moment, but then she saw the person in front of her magically produce a bright red apple: "Do you want an apple?"

The cold wind lashed against their faces, stinging the faces of both the fat man and the supermodel.

But this is nothing compared to the cold of the real world.

At this moment, the two of them were each wearing a piece of leather, traversing through the forest.

Elizabeth commissioned the two men to do something, something extremely heinous.

“Kill the little green hat’s grandfather who lives on the other side of the forest, rob all the valuables in his house, and then pretend to be the grandfather to kill that troublesome little green hat. If you dare to run away, I can kill you anytime.” These were Elizabeth’s exact words as she dragged her heavy axe at them.

For some reason, the fat man felt that the words "little green hat" and "grandfather" were somewhat familiar, but the situation at the time was too terrifying for them to think about it further.

As she said this, Elizabeth's face turned deathly pale, like a vengeful ghost that had just crawled out of hell.

The two fat men, unsuspecting, quickly ran away.

This is definitely not a Cinderella story.

The fat man decided that he would never again associate the kind, lovely, brave, and intelligent Cinderella with the terrifying Elizabeth!

To prevent their identities from being exposed, Elizabeth even took out wolf skins that she had prepared beforehand and had them cover themselves with them, pretending that the incident was the work of werewolves.

In the cold wind, the most flamboyant supermodel in history shivered and said, "How about we run away? We're already far away from that house..."

The fat man nodded, trembling, "Yes... I didn't want to kill that cuckold's grandfather either..."

At this point, the two stopped simultaneously, looked at each other, and seemed to want to discuss something more.

But at that moment, the supermodel's face suddenly turned ashen.

He stiffened his neck, staring intently at the back of the fat man's head, almost popping his eyes out.

The fat man felt a tingling sensation in his back.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves overhead to fall in a rustling sound.

A lush green leaf curved and landed on the fat man's shoulder. He slightly moved his stiff neck and reached out as if to sweep the leaf off his shoulder.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn his head, the fat man secretly glanced in the direction the supermodel was looking.

A pale face was hidden among the layers of leaves, with only one eye peeking out and staring intently at them through the gaps.

They recognized that face; it was Elizabeth's face...
