"What happened...?"

Pip yawned and appeared on the second floor with Willow. The exquisite Felix hadn't applied any face cream; his face was milky white.

Tian Nuan seemed to be in a good mood today, and was even present.

"My Maserati—, my little Maserati—!!!"

Her hair was disheveled, and she kept kicking and stomping at the guards who tried to stop her.

"By Whispering Creek! Right behind that singing reed patch!"

She turned her head, her bloodshot eyes wide open, her gaze sweeping over the astonished players on the stairs, then seemingly piercing through them, landing on some terrifying scene.

"She lay there, my little Martha, her feet... her feet were gone! The cut was so clean, it must have been, it must have been those damned red dancing shoes!"

A guard tried to cover her mouth, but she bit him hard.

She spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at the top of her lungs, scaring the dwarves into hiding in their hats.

"King! Foolish King! What a terrible ball you've held, bringing out those cursed shoes... You've all been fooled!"

Her body was roughly dragged across the threshold, her last sound breaking and fading into the distance.

"Give me back my daughter... I beg you, anyone... give her back to me..."

Luna stared intently, then pursed her lips.

"Distinguished guests, please do not panic... Mrs. Joanne is a milkmaid at 'Morning Dew Ranch,' poor thing... she is probably just delirious from excessive grief."

At dawn, he finally took off his covers and smiled.

"Hiss... As far as I know, you are the owner of this farm, Luna."

Felix stroked his chin, his eyes sharp, but the unwashed cream on his face looked somewhat comical.

"Yes……"

Luna spoke in a pale voice, her heart pounding faster as she watched the suspicion grow stronger, yet she felt powerless to do anything about it.

She didn't know if she was the murderer. If she was, what should she do now? Her actions a few days ago would have exposed her identity.

She, who is usually easygoing and cautious, was now shaking uncontrollably, and the atmosphere on the field changed in an instant, with the focus shifting to her.

Pip: "Wind Whisper Creek... there should be clues there."

Felix nodded. "Then let's go take a look together."

Everyone looked at Su Mian, clearly having already regarded her as their leader; they would set off immediately at her command.

But today, the girl seemed completely unconcerned about the clues. She showed no reaction whatsoever, and when everyone looked at her, she just sighed.

"I'm so tired, I don't want to go..."

The voice was soft and sticky, with a hint of coquetry. Pip picked at his ear, his face instantly turning red. Felix blinked, finding it somewhat novel.

"What's wrong, Your Highness and Teacher?"

Just as Su Mian was waiting for him to say those words, she beckoned, and a tall man emerged from the shadows. He had an iron ring around his neck, and his long, deep gray eyes exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Forti walked over, put his arm around the girl's waist, and looked completely submissive.

"Right now, my legs are weak, my back hurts, and my throat is sore."

Nestled in Forti's arms, Su Mian saw the shocked expressions on those people's faces and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

"Honestly, you were so rough with me last night, I can barely walk. I told you I didn't want it anymore, but you still came. You're just taking advantage of my good health..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Willow coughed abruptly, his face turning bright red all the way to his ears, and he didn't dare to look in that direction.

Felix stared intently at Forty, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

Pip looked as if he'd been struck by lightning, and didn't say a word.

"Then, Your Highness, please rest. Let's go, let's go..."

Pip shoved the group away, and Felix kept turning back to look at them. Only Tian Nuan sneered in the shadows and left with satisfaction.

Once the lobby was empty, Su Mian finally composed herself, even feeling a bit disgusted with her earlier behavior.

"The dialogue is terrible."

Forty wrote in the palm of his sleeping hand.

Su Mian glared at him. "I didn't see you act that well either."

……

If you say they're giving up, then they really are giving up.

From dawn till dusk, Forti never left the princess's bedroom. Only occasionally did a maid bring in water. The guests whispered among themselves, and rumors spread very quickly.

Inside the room, a huge snake tail stretched from the head of the bed to the corner. Su Mian was held in Forti's arms, and on the table was a map of Fengyu Creek.

The act was for Tian Nuan's benefit; by getting involved and making the pretense real, she could lower her guard. However, what she said in public was also the truth.

Forty did indeed cause her a lot of trouble after transforming.

After Su Mian caught a glimpse of that striking shape, the snake's tail coiled around her, rendering her immobile, and then lifted her up.

It murmured and sang between its teeth as it wandered down its abdomen, tentatively moving downwards little by little.

The greed was made no attempt to conceal.

The true nature of the serpent lies in its flexible and slender tongue.

Su Mian had already experienced this in Vibens; she would never allow that place to run rampant.

As it approached her abdomen, the snake's tail wrapped around her legs, adjusting her posture and causing her to unconsciously become strange.

Su Mian, her breathing unsteady, patted his back, braced her elbows on his shoulders, and pulled his hair, finally making him stop.

Unfortunately, the person here is Forti, not Si Shi, and doesn't know when to stop.

Su Mian was tormented repeatedly, her body and hands relentlessly caressing and ravaging her, causing her to moan softly until she finally gave in and let him relieve her with his hands, and only then did it all end.

The snake form was clearly much more exaggerated than the human form, and there were two of them...

Yesterday I was fooled by him, but I can’t let that happen again today, so Su Mian let Forti tease her however he wanted and focused all her attention on the clues.

I just used a clue card that was about Luna.

Luna's factory is right next to Willow's cannery, and Luna regularly supplies the cannery with fresh milk.

She pulled out the map: Morning Dew Ranch, cannery, separated by a stream—the same stream the woman had mentioned earlier that morning, the "Wind and Rain Stream."

This morning everyone went to Morning Dew Farm, so she went the opposite way and went to the cannery.

The two places must be connected; perhaps this is the key to the truth.

Luna and Willow both have matching shoe sizes, making them highly likely to be the owners of the Red Shoes. Their respective living locations are also closely related to the Red Shoes, making them prime suspects.

But Luna said she came to fight for it for her daughter, so how could she be the owner of the red shoes?

Or perhaps she lied.

In short, the logic doesn't hold up, and Willow is the more likely suspect.

What she had to do now was create the illusion that she had been "hanging out" with Forty in the room, then sneak away to the cannery, and ordered a set of men's clothes to be prepared.
