CHAPTER 722: CHAPTER 726 FAIRY TALE TOWN (15)

Su Li’s snarky commentary hadn’t even finished when Rourou, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted her.

"Can you shut up? Are you the devil? Why do you have to describe such a heartwarming scene in such a weird way?"

What was terrifying was that after hearing Su Li’s words, they actually started to feel there was something eerie about the current setting.

Su Li spread her hands and asked, "Haven’t you ever properly used your own brains to think?"

Si and the others: "....." Do fairy tales require brains?

Without noticing before, but having been prompted by Su Li like this, even Si and the others looked at Cinderella with a strange glint in their eyes.

Was Cinderella’s ability to so calmly accept gifts from strangers indicative of something lacking in her brain?

While the others were tangled in thought, Cinderella asked not only for a dress from the talking tree but also demanded jewelry, a hat, and shoes.

Her attire was now complete from head to toe.

Well, okay, Cinderella wasn’t shy about it.

The dress she was wearing was top quality, especially the pair of Crystal Shoes on her feet, uniquely beautiful.

"Crystal Shoes? Don’t they hurt your feet? Are they comfortable to walk in? Don’t they fall off? I don’t think these shoes look very wearable, this design doesn’t make sense at all...."

Su Li’s trademark snarky voice rang out timely in the ears of the others.

Si and the others actually had a moment of realization, perhaps Su Li really hit the nail on the head with her snark.

Such uncomfortable shoes, fine when standing still, but if you had to dance or run in them, it would be against all reason if they didn’t fall off...

Indeed, Cinderella had only worn them for a few laps when her heels started to redden.

But being caught up in the excitement and pride, she paid no mind to these little details.

Having the attire for the banquet was good, but without transportation, it seemed futile.

Was she supposed to walk there in such a pretty outfit?

As if understanding Cinderella’s worries, a flash of golden light zipped by, and a large pumpkin in the nearby field suddenly broke free from its vines and flew over.

Upon landing, it transformed into a gorgeously extravagant open-top carriage.

And the little mice that scurried from the tree were transformed into a mouse-headed coachman.

The freshly-minted, mouse-faced coachman curiously touched his own hands and feet, and squeaked out loud.

Hearing his own mousey voice, the little mouse was so frightened that he quickly covered his treacherous mouth.

Then his eyes darted around, and he turned to run away.

But a force kept him from leaving.

However, it didn’t take long for him to understand the events unfolding before him, as he knelt on one knee before Cinderella, and what blurted out was in human language.

"Master, please board the carriage."

Cinderella, overjoyed at everything happening before her eyes, didn’t hesitate for a second, picked up her skirt, and stepped onto the carriage.

The Crystal Shoes were indeed as difficult to wear as Su Li had thought.

Cinderella toppled over as she walked, but luckily, the distance to lift her foot into the carriage was short, and it spared her from walking further.

"Isn’t she afraid?"

Su Li’s devilish voice began again, and Si and the others were already numb and speechless.

They only wondered what criticism would spew out from this village girl’s mouth this time.

Bubbling with enthusiasm, Su Li pointed at the coachman on the pumpkin carriage and said, "I mean, aren’t girls usually afraid of mice and cockroaches and such creatures? Why isn’t Cinderella afraid?"

"Seeing a small animal transform into a rat spirit right before one’s eyes, ordinary people would be scared to death, wouldn’t they..."

"If Cinderella is so brave, then why is she still afraid of being bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters, always feeling like a poor little thing?"

Anian could only respond dully, "There’s no reason, because she is Cinderella..."

Because she is a pre-established program.

Su Li silently recited the unsaid words in her heart.

Luckily, Su Li was only muttering to herself in her mind and did not speak them out loud.

Otherwise, who knows if Si and the others might have been scared to death.

It’s like when you’re playing a game, and suddenly an NPC greets you, "Enjoying the game? Having fun?"

That kind of horror.

When Su Li saw the Fairy Godmother perform magic without sensing any energy fluctuations, she became suspicious.

Is this world truly real? If it’s illusory, then what about all the growth experiences in the original owner’s mind, all her cognitions?

But once you assume that this world is not real, those inconsistencies in the original owner’s memories are not so difficult to understand.

Now lying in her Chaotic Space, Tao Yao, as a former program that developed self-awareness, this phenomenon was termed by Su Li as awakening.

In this world, the original owner, who was the first to notice something discordant in her life, could also be considered as awakening.

However, her awakening was not complete; she only had a vague sense that something was off, and could not find exactly what made her feel that way.

Her experience of dying and then living, only to die again mysteriously, seemed to be wandering through repeated rebirths.

But this situation, when applied to games, could be explained as deleting a file and starting over.

Because of her semi-awakening, the world’s main program could not completely delete her memories of order, creating her perception of inexplicably dying and then being reborn in past times.

The appearance of the pumpkin carriage and the rat coachman made Su Li realize this.

All the magic was like a pre-set program, like a type of materialized special effect, manifesting before people.

Upon closer inspection, the consistent attitude of Si and others from beginning to end said it all.

A natural haughtiness, along with a certainty of knowing the script.

It’s just that for some reason, the plot they were certain of seemed to have undergone a tremendous change...

Hey, Su Li figured out everything that was happening, but it seems... she has not yet realized that all these changes were actually caused by her.

She is that extra-large, malignant virus that the main program couldn’t clean up.

Well, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

Is she supposed to delete herself? Not a chance, absolutely impossible.

Right now, Su Li is quite happy, what’s the fun in known plot lines? The excitement of playing games comes from the unknown.

The situation as it is now is quite good; Su Li is actually looking forward to Cinderella’s grand entrance at the Prince’s ball.

Who knows what feelings will emerge from so many Princesses and Misses when an inexplicably secretive girl steals their spotlight.

You shouldn’t underestimate the heart of a woman’s jealousy; otherwise, you might suffer.

She dares not say, nor ask.

All she can do is keep smiling, and then greet Si and the others to return for now.

Uh, are you sure that’s not a schadenfreude smile you’re wearing as you watch the drama unfold?
