Journey In A Fantasy World
Life Betting Test

The four of us were forced to kneel before the palace gate, persuading Prince Archi to come out and be willing to come with us to visit the Princess Mayor.

After three hours, a eunuch came out of the palace gate, carrying a letter with a red envelope and was given to us.

Win accepted it, and instantly read it on the spot.

Judging from Win's facial expression, it seemed that the letter did not include any good news for us. Did Prince Archi tell us to leave from Archi City?

"You stand up, leave our palace immediately. If you want to stay a few days, in the city center there are many large inns that are enough to make you comfortable rather than just kneeling here. Our prince won't let you in." The eunuch held Win's hand, helping him to stand up.

Me, Rui and Zhi stood up, my legs numb. I don't know why I have to go through this suffering for someone else. Gosh darn.

"Can't complain, Jian. It should be accompanied by sincerity," Rui elbowed my arm while whispering softly. Looks like he saw my tired face expression earlier.

"Friends, let's get out of here first. Something's wrong with this prince." Win walked towards us, then told us to leave this palace immediately.

We stopped in front of a large inn. Win booked two rooms. We had to stay for a few days in the city.

"Win, what's wrong? You hurriedly left the palace gate." Zhi was seated on a chair facing directly towards this huge royal palace of Archi.

The wind blew fiercely, the view from the third floor of the inn looked beautiful. I followed Zhi's gaze, a distance of about a thousand meters from the nearest inn where we stopped by.

"What do you think is the reason Prince Archi refused our invitation?" Win asked quietly while staring at the majestic peak of the palace.

"Could he not want this match?" Zhi guessed it randomly.

Win shook his head, "Archi City and Luse City are next to each other. Although the two contradict each other, but the government of both never experienced problems and always on good terms. If my guess is correct, the King and the Mayor match their son, it is for the sake of uniting these two great cities. But it seems, Prince Archi has his own plan."

Rui and I looked at each other. His words are hard to understand.

"Explain it better, Win. I don't really understand" Zhi snorted.

"I also don't know why Prince Archi behaved like that. If he refused an arranged marriage, he ignored the good relations of these two cities. If he accepted it, would he really do it the way the King wanted?" Win looked at Zhi who still looked clueless.

However, Zhi finally nodded his head, "You mean, this Archi Prince is using matchmaking as the best tool for him for a certain purpose, and he doesn't like the City Guardian Princess at all, he knew his plan was in a critical period because the Princess Mayor was suddenly struck by a sleeping spell. He knows our arrival is to try to wake the Princess Mayor with his kiss, whereas he has absolutely no love for the Princess Mayor. So afraid the plan will get messy?" Zhi flicked his fingers, smiling widely.

"Fright!" Win patted the table, laughing widely, "I once read a note about this Prince Archi about five hundred years ago. He was a man of great ambition to be king. The magic is pretty high. It might be equivalent to the energy accumulated after a thousand years of cultivation. Do you think he married the Princess Mayor to begin this ambition? Logically speaking, Luse City was closest to Archi City, if he married Luse City, and could utilize his wife's power, he would be even more power hungry. This kind of person, sooner or later, will have the ambition to rule the whole world."

"So, is that something to worry about?" Rui.

"Of course!" Win patted the table once more, "This world, more peaceful like this alone. There must be no second Queen Hudie. As soon as he takes control of Pubu City, this whole world is his. Once he's taken over the whole world. This thing that we are going through, sooner or later will happen again. We have to stop him, after all he's just a snot kid, it's easy to make him give up."

Rui said slowly, "Then, what should we do?"

"We have only a little time. The daughter of the Mayor should not sleep too long anymore. Gotta wake up soon." Zhi reminded us again

What we can only answer is, "The Prince is not willing."

Finally the Mayor decided to announce his services. There were countless young men gathered in front of this majestic residence.

"A hundred days ago, my daughter was unlucky. Her engagement event with Prince Archi was forced to be canceled because she was hit by a sleeping spell by someone. I, as his father, have been negligent, only knowing this reason after he had suffered for a hundred days. All the young men. If one of you would love my daughter sincerely, I would allow you to wake my daughter with your sincere kiss, if she really wakes up, as a gift, I will marry you to her. But before that, you must take the test I gave you. The stakes are lives, if you're willing to die for this competition, I'll unhesitatingly take it to see my daughter."

The young men in front of this residence whispered to each other and discussed. If you don't love truly, then it's free to pass this life-betting test. Although he would kiss the mayor's daughter, it was also useless because he could not wake her up and marry her. Of course these young men must be calculating.

"Who dares to hold this ridiculous competition on my future wife!"

The young men were shocked to hear a stern cry from behind them. It was seen Prince Archi floating down from the open portal.

I glanced at Win who was smiling faintly. It seems to be going according to our plan.

"Greetings, Prince!" The young men knelt in front of him. The Mayor smiled as he bowed. Me and Rui followed him.

"Jian, why are Win and Zhi quiet?" Rui suddenly elbowed my arm and whispered.

I covered her mouth with my index finger, "Win and Zhi this is already a dozen thousand years old, Rui. They are also the Door Guards. Why kneel to this little prince?"

"Your Majesty. What business does Your Majesty have visiting my residence today?" The Mayor smiled faintly.

"What do you mean, Lord Mayor? Of course I came to visit my future wife. I heard he's been asleep for a hundred days. Could it be that I need my help to wake her up?" Prince Archi returned the smile with a loud satire.

The Mayor instead responded with a small laugh, "Your Majesty. Two days ago, I sent people to pick you up to our Luse City. For the sake of asking for help to wake my daughter. But you refused to come, so I thought you weren't serious about this matchmaking. These young men present are the ones who are willing to pass the test to wake up my daughter. You've given me the chance to meet and wake him up without passing the life-betting test. But you ignored my call. If you want to meet my daughter, you have to join these lads and pass the life-betting test. I don't want to be considered a favoritist. They are the people of my Luse City."

"Master of the City! Why did you renege on our deal?" Prince Archi exclaimed angrily, "I've made a match with your daughter. Of course it should no longer be careless to choose a new soul mate for him, let alone in a ridiculous way like this. Your daughter, there's no need for a man to wake her up. I'm going around the world looking for a cure. You can cancel this competition and free them from the test of a ridiculous life-betting"

"Can't!" Win cut his sentence just like that.

Prince Archi's gaze was immediately directed at him, seeming even more furious, "You who, dare to cut my word!"

"Your Majesty," Win bowed slightly, "My name is Win, a wolf that has stood guard at the gates of Dixia Academy for tens of thousands of years for the sake of world peace. On what basis do I dare to cut His Majesty's word? But you are still a Prince, your father is still so healthy, he was once my student while studying at our Dixia Academy. On what basis do you dare to call your ridiculous speech a word?"

Prince Archi instantly fell silent, he dropped his knee and apologized to Win, "The Great Teacher. I didn't know where you were before, please forgive me."

Win waved his hand, "It was easy. But if I were to tell your father about your attitude today, you might not be able to become his successor anymore. Think carefully, Your Majesty. Do you still want to mess up here?"

"Great Teacher, this City Guardian Princess has already been betrothed to me. I certainly wouldn't let it be contested by so many men. I'm willing to travel the world looking for a cure." Prince Archi continued to refute him.

"no need. The sleep spell has no other antidote, except the sincere kiss of the person who loves him sincerely. If you want him to wake up and not fight over these talented youths, you shouldn't have ignored me in front of the palace gates yesterday. Since you chose him yourself, you can only join them and get the position you deserve. The reward was to marry the Princess Mayor. If you fail, you can only accept fate."

Me and Rui looked at each other, it turned out that this super haughty prince could be silent in front of Win with just a few sentences. I smiled with satisfaction.
