Book 5 Chapter 9 (Part 2) I Shrunk

  "Gurgle", the tub started to bubble, after a long time, the bath water was like boiling, getting hotter and hotter. By the time the maid removed the lid, I was already sweating all over, hastily jumping out of the big tub.

  Put on the pants, touch all over, I and Mr. Mouse looked at each other, then took a look at the slender butterfly maid, and said in surprise: "How come we haven't changed at all?"

  "There's just one more procedure left." The little princess lifted the curtain and walked in lightly, catching sight of my bare upper body, her face turned red again. She walked up to me, shooed away the butterfly maid, took off the blue flower crown from my head, and whispered, "Young master, bear with the pain a bit." She plucked a flower from the crown, its stem sharp as a needle, aimed at my heart, and suddenly stabbed it in.

  I grunted, my heart feeling as if it had been stabbed with a dagger, the pain making me grit my teeth. If I weren't trying to show off in front of the little princess, I would have already cursed loudly. The little princess's hand was pressed against the petals, her eyes fluttering wildly as she manipulated them. The flower slowly sank into my skin, as if it had taken root on my chest. The petals slowly unfolded, beginning to grow.

  I stared blankly as the flower bloomed on my chest, growing bigger and bigger, I was extremely shocked. Before long, the flower had grown larger than me, its blue petals unfolding like outstretched arms, wrapping me in layer after layer. The faint scent of flowers wafted up, a wave of irresistible fatigue flooded over my eyelids, and I fell asleep in a daze.

  When I woke up, I was still wrapped in this blue flower. The little princess stood opposite me, looking up at me silently.

  "How long did I sleep?" I rubbed my eyes, asking curiously, the surrounding blue and shiny, soft and huge petals reflected the moist light. On my chest, the inserted blue flower stem was stunning, as if it had merged with my flesh and blood.

  "I only slept for a short while, it's still dark outside." The little princess said softly, after a pause, she asked: "Lin Gongzi, aren't you afraid of assassinating Ye Liu Bing?"

  I spat out my tongue: "Afraid, of course afraid. But a big man has something to do and something not to do. For Ji Danmei, I'm willing to risk it all. You don't have to be afraid either, even if we fail in our assassination attempt, we'll think of a way to clear your name and won't let you get implicated."

  The little princess smiled faintly, and from her long hair, she slowly pulled out a fine blue strand: "I've already made preparations for losing." She tilted her head, took out a comb, and slowly combed her long hair into a braid, coiling it on top of her head, humming a tune.

  "In the distant flower cluster,"

  A bluebell flower lies down.

  She closed her eyes,

  Wait for someone to wake her up.

  She just fell asleep.

  Wait for someone to come and wake her up."

  She had finished styling her hair and inserted that sharp strand of hair, asking me in a low voice: "Do I look like a bride? You said I'm beautiful, like a little fairy, is it true?"

  A wave of sourness surged up in my heart, although our interests were the same, but after all, I still used her. Lin Fei, you are so despicable! I lowered my head and didn't dare to look into her eyes.

  The little princess let out a soft sigh, her hands clasped together, and the tips of her fingers slightly curled up. The bangles on her wrists emitted a strange glow. "Shh", the blue flower petals quivered and rapidly shrunk, opening layer by layer. With each layer that opened, my body felt a sensation, convulsing in pain, making me break out in cold sweat. "Crack crack", my bones creaked, I shrank inch by inch, my arms grew thinner, my legs smaller, until the blue flower was fully open, and I had become exactly the same size as the little princess.

  The little princess lightly flicked the flower core with her fingers, and the blue flower suddenly drilled into my flesh and blood, leaving a light blue mark on my chest. She took out a yellow seed and handed it to me: "As long as you take it, you can restore your original appearance."

  I carefully hid the flower seeds and looked around. Wow, the original palace suddenly became much bigger! The jar that was originally used to soak the flower juice now looks like it can be swum in. I stretched my arms and legs, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

  As I stepped out of the inner chamber, the butterfly maidens were busily preparing my dowry throughout the night. Colorful clothes, gift boxes and powder cases filled the ground, and my heart couldn't help but ache slightly. The sky outside had already lightened up, and the steps in front of the door were illuminated with a bright red color by the dawn. The wind blew in, causing the colorful clothes to rustle softly, displaying an indescribable beauty that was dazzling to behold.

  "For us, having Huajing lead the way can save a lot of trouble and allow us to sneak into the tiger's lair to rescue Jidan Mei. But for the little princess, it's like betting her entire life's happiness." I don't know when, but Gan Ning suddenly appeared beside me, saying this lightly. She had also shrunk down, and the Sanqian Ruoshui sword had been transformed into a thin needle, inserted into her hair.

  "It's impossible to get the cub without entering the tiger's lair." I took a deep breath and turned my head. In the corner of the hall, the little princess was holding a bright red wedding dress, lost in thought.
