Relevantly, Flurry’s gaze lifted to the jacket in my hand. A moment of astonishment passed before a smile touched his lips. “That’s the Prince’s jacket, isn’t it? If I’m not mistaken, you wore the Prince’s jacket last night as well, didn’t you?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. A true fan, indeed.” Feng You chuckled, her smile radiating amusement. Flurry, maintaining his courteous demeanor, offered a faint smile.

Feng You stepped closer, resting her hand on Flurry’s shoulder. With a raised eyebrow and a flirtatious smile, she leaned in, whispering into his ear. “Flurry, don’t even think about it. You know His Highness’s temperament. If you steal his clothes to secretly sniff them again, you’ll surely be banished from Ghost King City. Besides, it’s not like you discovered anything even after sniffing it for so long. Our Ice Fire Queen herself said the jacket has no scent, as though a ghost wore it.”

Flurry once stole the Ghost Prince’s clothes to sniff them? Sniff sniff…

My hair stood on end. He’s such a pervert!

But I too committed the same foolish act. No wonder Feng You looked at me like a pervert.

Hahahahahaha! Feng You erupted in laughter, but Flurry remained composed, his gentlemanly smile unwavering. He didn’t bother with her teasing. “So what? We are free to choose who we fancy.” Flurry admitted it frankly.

“You admitted it so quickly. Are you afraid that the Ice Fire Queen will take your Prince away?” Feng You left Flurry and returned to my side. “My dear, did you know that Flurry stole the Ghost Prince’s clothes and was caught red-handed?” Feng You laughed, playfully hitting my arm. “The Prince was so enraged that he pushed him against the wall! Hahaha! Flurry certainly enjoyed it then. It was his first time being so close to him, in such an intimate position. Just like this…” Feng You suddenly seized my neck, pressing me back into my seat, her other hand resting on the back of the chair, happily mimicking what the Ghost Prince had done to Flurry. Then, her smile froze, as if she’d suddenly realized the extent of her joke. A sigh escaped her lips.

Flurry’s smile also faded, as if caught in the breeze. Then, the Prince coughed. A very harsh cough.

“Cough?”

“Yes. The Prince’s health is very frail.” Feng You sighed. “Sigh, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone so weak. I wonder how he survived in the wilderness back then.” “Flurry, don’t even think about it. The Prince is already upset with you. Plus, even if the Prince were deeply moved by you, how could his body bear it? Who else doesn’t know of your obsession?”

“If the Prince is willing to be with me, I will definitely abandon my obsession and protect him. If I cannot control myself, I will cut off my hands so that I cannot harm him at all.” Flurry looked extremely serious, speaking calmly as if it were a solemn oath. It was a deeply moving declaration.

Flurry and Feng You fell silent simultaneously. Feng You’s expression softened, tinged with sympathy.

“A metahuman rarely falls ill. As a metahuman’s power grows, they cease to fall ill altogether.”

“Ever since I became a metahuman, even my period cramps have vanished. They simply come and go like the wind.”

Flurry slowly looked up and smiled. “Queen, please follow me to the dining hall.” Flurry turned and departed.

I didn’t have a good impression of Flurry. He was a sadist, and he had been eyeing Ah Zong as well. Yet, such a hateful person was willing to cut off his own hands to restrain himself from harming those he loved because of his obsession.

Just as Dian Yin had said, the people here might not be perfect, but they never pretended to be.

Feng You shrugged and fell into step beside me, following Flurry.

Our conversation halted at the Prince’s frail state. Everyone felt sympathy for his ordeal.

He had been lost in the wilderness before the Great Ghost King found him. No one could survive in the wilderness. Even I didn’t know how long I could endure in the wilderness.

During outdoor training with my father back then, there were trees, wild fruits, and worms. I could identify edible fruits and poisonous mushrooms. I could hunt fish and birds. In the world I came from, there were many foods I could survive on. As a last resort, there were worms.

However, in the wilderness of this world, there were neither trees nor fruits. Sometimes, there weren’t even worms. Just as Uncle Mason had said, finding two large, plump worms was a feast, and he had to save one for Harry.

Besides the lack of food, there was also harsh weather. Not to mention the day monsters, flying corpses, large rats, and various creatures that hunted.

When I went to look for Xing Chuan after he was thrown from Silver Moon City, he was cornered on a cliff by day monsters. They waited for him to die so they could tear his lifeless body apart.

In such a terrifying environment, it was already a miracle that the Ghost Prince survived. And he was so weak, without his powers.

He was not only mysterious, but magical.

Flurry did not lead me back to the building with the elevator. Instead, we entered the black palace.

The palace was constructed of a special material. It resembled black glass, yet it also seemed like a black crystal.

The mysterious, dark palace was bathed in golden sunlight. The natural light dispelled the distress and gloominess of the black color, shining into the mysterious palace. It looked like an ancient castle, with magical treasures hidden within.

Feng You left us at the door. Now, only Flurry led the way.

Then, I saw guards in front of us. Behind them was a room with both doors wide open. The aroma of breakfast wafted out.

Finally, Flurry stopped at the door and allowed me to enter the dining hall alone.

The spacious dining hall could easily accommodate a table for twenty, but there was only a table for four. The white wooden table was covered with a white tablecloth. In the center of the table was an exquisite blue vase with red roses.

Four sets of cutlery were laid out, as if prepared for a heartwarming family meal.

The door closed behind me, and I took one of the seats at the table. A cup of milk sat beside the plate. I hadn’t seen milk in a long time.

Over the years, I had lived outside. I only had better food when I arrived in Queen Town, but there was no milk.

Because a milking cow was a rare animal in this world.

Noah City had milk only because Kro had vacuum-packed milk.

Here, four cups of milk were on the table, and a large jug sat next to the vase. It seemed I could have as much as I wanted.

I laid the jacket over the back of the chair. Would they be wearing their masks when we dined together?

Just as I thought this, the door opened. The Ghost King, holding the Queen’s hand, entered. They were indeed wearing their masks!

They were dressed in everyday clothes. The Great Ghost King wore a shirt and trousers, like a working adult in his early thirties.

The Queen wore a long-sleeved floral maxi dress, like a casual housewife.
