"ha?"

"How did I gain that unknown entity's [favorability]?"

"Play!"

Dusk, the sun is setting.

The girl knelt in a temple, surrounded by elderly people dressed in rich clothes, who were looking at her with gloomy faces.

"Heartless..."

"You know that, right?"

"You should marry that idiot; it's best for our village!"

"Sacrificing your happiness alone can bring prosperity to the entire village. This is your honor! This is your destiny!!!"

"..."

The cold, rebuking voice echoed in the ancestral hall. The girl clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and remained silent.

"snort--"

"You ungrateful wretch!"

"Have someone keep an eye on her! When that day comes, she'll have to marry him, whether she likes it or not!!!"

"yes!"

Seeing that the girl remained silent, the elder in the front row flicked his sleeves and stormed out of the ancestral hall! Several other elders around him shook their heads and sighed as they closed the door of the ancestral hall.

Under the crimson candlelight, the girl stared blankly at the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, lost in thought.

She just stared blankly, and the world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

a long time...

"Creak—"

The door to the ancestral hall was lifted a crack, and a girl who looked like a young woman suddenly poked her head inside: "Hey! Sister! Sister!"

"Little sister?!"

The girl turned her head and saw that the girl was dressed the same as her and looked nervous.

"Sister, run! I'll pretend to be you!"

"My mother and father have been imprisoned... They sent me to take your place!"

"If you can escape, go find the Leng family! The Leng family are government officials, and they have a close relationship with Father. If they get involved... our whole family will be saved!"

"But..."

"No buts! You'd better get going!"

"..."

The image flashed through my mind.

It was a scene resembling an ancient setting where someone was forced into marriage.

Can...

In ancient times...

How could someone have such a forward-thinking understanding of "dark fairy tales"?

An Lan blinked, feeling that there was something more to that "unknown existence" dimension.

He focused his gaze on the [Goddess Conquest System], and the information regarding "???" had been updated.

[Goddess: Demonic Cold Heart]

Age: 356

Height: 178CM

【Weight: 55KG】

[Characteristics: Having witnessed the cruelty of the world, this female demon cultivator has lost all hope in romantic love. After becoming a demon cultivator, she prefers testing humanity and witnessing the dramatic personality changes that occur in humans under extreme circumstances...]

[Current total favorability: 25]

"Wardfa?"

"Ten years old?!"

"A demonic cultivator?!"

Ok!

Now An Lan finally understood why this Demon Cold Heart wasn't shocked by the [Dark Fairy Tale] world frame; it turned out that their world was a bit more advanced!

"A demonic cultivator?"

"But looking at this first CG clip, she doesn't seem to have any problems yet..."

"Gurgle..."

"Gurgle..."

"Gurgle..."

As I pondered, a strange abdominal churning sound came from the bottom of the cliff once again!

An Lan's face darkened, and she immediately curled up in her sleeping bag, closing her eyes tightly.

The cold night wind howled into the cave, damp and chilly, making one shiver. Thankfully, there was a sleeping bag for the night. Anlan felt a slight warmth and was about to ignore everything and just pull the covers over her head to sleep...

"Gurgle—"

suddenly!

That familiar rumbling sound suddenly came from the cave entrance!

"Um?!"

An Lan trembled slightly, then squinted as she looked out from inside her sleeping bag.

"Gulp...you...gulp...you...gulp...you—"

The half-bodied monster crawled, dragging out foul-smelling slime as it went. It didn't even glance at An Lan before climbing over the donkey-man and staring straight at the "little princess."

"Coo...coo coo coo—"

The bubbles on its cheeks kept bobbing as it stood motionless in front of the little princess.

"..."

The little princess had her eyes tightly closed, but An Lan could still see that her thin body was trembling.

She wasn't asleep!

Fortunately, she listened to An Lan's words and did not react actively.

"Gurgle—"

"Gurgle—"

"Gurgle—"

Can...

This time, the half-monster seemed to have its sights set on the "little princess" and wouldn't leave no matter what!

The white mist in the cave swirled and thickened, and the night grew darker. It seemed as if the monster was going to stay there tonight, but it didn't budge an inch.

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

You could vaguely see that the little princess's thin body was already shivering. Warm breath was constantly coming out of her nostrils, and her little face was already purple from the cold...

"Clatter!"

Just then!

In the cold cave, a candle slowly lit up.

The half-monster's gaze suddenly turned towards the light source!

The light shone on the sleeping donkey-man, and in the candlelight, the donkey-man... also transformed into the appearance of a "little princess"!

"Gurgle..."

The moment her gaze was fixed on the donkey man, the little princess shuddered as she was suddenly grabbed by an arm and pulled into a sleeping bag in the corner!

"what!"

"you--"

"Shh!"

The little princess stared at An Lan in horror at her purplish-blue face, and An Lan quickly covered the princess's mouth.

Inside the small sleeping bag, the two bodies were almost pressed together, their eyes simultaneously drawn to the donkey outside the sleeping bag.

"Gurgle..."

Good thing!

The half-man's gaze remained fixed on the donkey-man the entire time. He glanced at the commotion, then quickly lost interest and continued staring at the donkey-man!

"Feed..."

"Do you recognize this?"

An Lan whispered a question in the little princess's ear, and the little princess hurriedly shook her head: "How could that be? How would I know it? Is this...is this some kind of witch's monster?"

"That..."

Why is it staring at you so intently?

"I...I don't know..."

"Oh, right! You still haven't told me how you got caught and brought here!"

An Lan could sense that although the "little princess" said she didn't like "crocodiles," she obediently shrank into her arms and wrapped her legs around hers.

Their body heat was building up, making the sleeping bag warm and cozy.

"I..."

"One night, my father suddenly lost his temper for some reason! That night, after I fell asleep, I found myself locked in a wooden box..."

"This is...where else..."

"Oh?"

"is that so?"

"So...you must have seen the Frog Prince, right? Where is he?"

"The Frog Prince?"

"He...he's disappeared!"

When the "Frog Prince" was mentioned, the "Little Princess" blushed slightly.

"ha?"

What does "disappear" mean?

"Well... after he helped me find the gold pearl, he disappeared..."

"Is that so?"

The two were talking quietly when An Lan heard the system's voice begin to respond.

【drop--】

[Princess's favorability +1! +1! +1!]

[Current favorability rating: 25 points!]

[You have unlocked the CG at 25 affection points. Start playing now?]

【whether?】

The little princess in her arms was now clinging to her like a doll, holding her tightly. An Lan ignored her and closed her eyes, selecting "Yes!"

[Affection level 25, CG loading...]

[In front of the well in the royal palace.]

"ah--"

"The golden pearl my father gave me!!!"

The little princess lay face down at the well, staring into the water. The golden bead had fallen all the way down into the deep well and sunk to the bottom; it seemed unlikely to be retrieved!

suddenly!

"Croak—"

"I can help you find it!"

A green frog was lying on the edge of the well when it spoke in a strange way!

"Huh? A frog? You...can you help me find the golden pearl?"

"certainly!"

"On the condition... you have to be my friend!"

The frog narrowed its eyes, staring at the "little princess," a hint of disgust in its gaze.

"Okay! Okay! I'll be your friend! Let's be friends!"

"Sizzle—"

Almost the instant the words were spoken, a cloud of steam rose from the frog's body. Then, a handsome young man wearing a crown lay in the well water, looking at the "little princess" with amusement.

"Alright!"

"I'll go down and retrieve the gold beads for you!"

"You just wait!"

"good--"

With a "plop," the prince dived into the water.

The little princess waited steadfastly by the well, but... she never saw the prince return...
