In the live broadcast room.
[Oh, I see. That arrogant youth is the real Prince Rapunzel, and God Xin is just a scapegoat.]
[So that’s why the king and queen were behaving strangely. They were looking at God Xin strangely not because they heard God Xin call out, “father”, but because they were afraid that their plan would be seen through. I wondered why the maid kept calling God Xin “Your Highness” all the time; it was too much.]
[They are so vicious. They deliberately used a slave to confuse the public, but it’s God Xin who’s the real scapegoat.]
[And the manu’s behavior was obviously because he was scared, this was not out of his own volition.]
[Because of his lowly status, he had no say in the matter.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, if it had been anyone else, they would have been scapegoated and probably died thinking that they were the prince. But this deceit has fallen on God Xin, I pity the castle in advance. ]
[Am I the only one whose concern is with the witch, the evil dragon, and the sea monster?]
[No, you’re not alone, I’m already preparing my seat belt.]
[? What seatbelts? What’s going on?]
[Alas, the woes of a second child.]
[Hahaha, when I went to watch someone else’s live stream: How thrilling! How will they get through a desperate situation like this? Ah, run away!
[When watching God Xin’s live stream: Why hasn’t the big boss shown up yet? When are God Xin and the Big Boss going to feed us dog food? When are we going to have a big wedding scene?]
[More than two years have passed, and Yama’s grand wedding scene is still lingering in my mind.]
[Waiting to be fed.jpg.]
[God Xin hasn’t started yet but the live stream has already stepped on the gas pedal. God Xin: I thank you guys, you’re not treating me like an outsider at all.]
——————–
The manu gulped: “You’re so mean, be careful, or you won’t be able to get a wife in the future.”
Bai Lixin raised his eyebrows at the words: “I’m not afraid; there will be someone even if I’m fierce.”
The manu: “Hey, you have a wife? Which girl is she?”
Bai Lixin: “Little brother, don’t be so stuck on gender.”
The manu: “……”
I seem to have learned something incredible.
“About two days ago,” The manu spoke slowly, with his head down and his voice lowered in a voice only two people could hear, “you fell out of the sky and into the river.”
“What His Majesty just told you in the dining room was true, but not all of it.”
The manu glanced cautiously toward the guards at the side and said, “After the seed was offered to the king and queen, they soon gave birth to the prince. On the night of the prince’s first birthday, the witch came uninvited and cast an evil curse.”
“The curse said that before he turned eighteen, the prince would be stabbed with scissors and bleed to death. If he did not die before the age of eighteen, then at the age of eighteen, he would drown in the river and turn into a daffodil by the river bank.”
“After the witch left, the king and queen were terrified and called for the magician. The magician eventually used all his magical powers and left the prince with a blessing.”
“He blessed the prince to be free from any scissors until he came of age. A hope would fall from the sky before the prince came of age, and that hope would become a substitute to die in the prince’s place. Once the substitute dies, the curse on the prince will be broken completely.”
“We found you by the river a few days ago, and the magician immediately realized that you were the substitute.”
Bai Lixin: “So the reason the prince has long hair is that he stayed away from all kinds of scissors?”
The manu: “Yes, why do you keep your head so long?”
Bai Lixin: “To look good…”
When he was at Diamond Mountain, he was planning to weave a gravity pendulum in order to speed up the chiseling.
The gravity pendulum needed a strong rope to hang from, and human hair was a naturally strong ‘rope’, so he had planned to cut off his hair and weave it as a tool.
He tried to use the ‘lost beauty’ to build a super-tough rope before, but because rope is made from strands, it was defined by the crystal ball as a weave of countless tiny fibers and could only be made in small pieces.
It would take him three days to make a small piece and ten years to create a rope of high tenacity.
So he simply left his hair to grow, trying to use it as a substitute for the high-tenacity fiber rope.
But then, plans could not keep up with the changes. The hair was not used, and it made him become someone’s substitute.
What bad luck!
The manu: “Does it look good? I was there when I picked you up. You were lying on your back at the water’s edge with your head in the water. You were like a water ghost—scary as hell. Your aesthetics and your choice of partner are poor. You leave the good girls alone and go for a man. Hiss, what a strange person.”
Bai Lixin: “……”

In the live broadcast room.
[God Xin: What bad luck! I’ve never been so speechless and aggrieved in my life.]
[God Xin says he’s numb.]
[There should be a big boss in here.]
[This the manu is also very powerful, he scolded two people with his words.]
[Well, they are the two people he shouldn’t provoke.]
[I suddenly understand why the king chose him as a fake substitute. With that mouth, he’s probably offended a lot of people.]
[I’m laughing to death, a man lives by his mouth.]
———————
“By the way. Although you already know that you are the fake prince, it doesn’t change the fact that you will take the fall for His Highness.”
The manu thought of something and said seriously, “After you passed out by the river, the king took you to the magician at that time, and His Highness the Prince was also there. You stayed in the room for a long time then, and when you came out again, the magician said that the curse had been transferred.”
“But the transferred curse is still unstable, and His Highness the Prince will only be safe if the curse takes effect completely.”
The manu paused, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. “So you be careful, in order to make His Royal Highness safe as soon as possible, the king will probably send you scissors. The night is long, you might not be here in two days.”
Bai Lixin looked The manu up and down and said, “You seem to know a lot?”
The manu’s eyes flickered slightly, “Not really, I happened to be skulking around at the time and got accidentally mixed up in it, how else would I have been chosen to be the substitute? Although I’m a fake… but it was still my bad luck.”
“But you are more unfortunate.” The manu raised his head and smiled at Bai Lixin, “The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If you really want to lift the curse, why don’t you just go to the Witch? Beyond the castle is the forest, and the witch lives deep within it.”
“You don’t have much of a way out anyway, so you’ll have to die before you can live. Just find the witch, tell the Witch that you’ve been switched, and the witch might be in a good mood and lift the curse for you.”
Bison looked at the manu beside him thoughtfully.
The boy, who had been pale and terrified a moment ago, now had no trace of cowardice on his face.
His eyes were curved into two small crescents, and the dark eyes hidden within were shrewd.
When Bai Lixin looked at The manu, The manu was also looking at Bai Lixin, and as they looked at each other, they both saw calculation in the other’s eyes.
The manu smiled faintly and asked, “Don’t you want to live? If you want to live, go to the forest. When the big bell strikes twice tonight, the castle guards will be at their weakest.”
He held out his hand and pointed towards where the fence was, saying, “Behind the vines, there is a door. Cross the winding path and you will see a dense forest.”
“The witch awaits your arrival, Lord Bai Lixin. A trusted envoy with the noblest of manners will be sent by the Lord to welcome you.”
With those words, The manu’s eyes rolled back, and his body collapsed limply to the ground the next second.
Bai Lixin quickly went to help The manu, and at that moment, a blue butterfly slowly flew out of The manu’s head.
Bai Lixin looked at the butterfly, but it was not afraid and circled around Bai Lixin, even nudging him on the cheek, before it flapped its wings and slowly left.
The butterfly flew into the air and abruptly turned into countless tiny pieces of stardust, disappearing into the air.
As it disappeared, The manu woke up in a daze.
He reacted to their current position and hurriedly pushed Bai Lixin aexpre, shivering with a miserable white face: “My Lord, Your Highness, I’m sorry.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
From the manu’s reaction, he probably didn’t know that he already knew everything.
So the butterfly had taken control of The manu at the moment Prince Rapunzel left.
After a brief exchange of words with The manu, Bai Lixin gave up after realizing that he would not get any clues from him and turned around to walk toward the manu’s room.
The butterfly had called the witch, Lord, so it seemed that it had been sent by the witch.
Which means the witch knew about the king using him as a substitute.
Bai Lixin was thinking about this as he walked, but at that moment, there was a static sound in his head.
Then the voice of the escape system rang out, [Bai Lixin, I have found it.]
The escape system’s voice was faintly guilty, [The …… situation seems to be more complicated than we expected.]
Bai Lixin: [How is it complicated?]
Escape system: [Fairy tales are not the same as the backgrounds and plotlines in the system. Although they have their own systems, many of the stories are intertwined.]
[…] Bai Lixin pressed his slightly aching temples: [Do you want to tell me that what should have been one fairy tale world has merged with others? ]
[Ahh,] the escape system felt even more guilty, [Master Bai Lixin is Master Bai Lixin, I just said a few words, and you guessed it, nothing can be hidden from you, he, he, he].
Bai Lixin: […… So should I thank you?]
The escape system hurriedly denied: [No, no, I will now tell you the current situation as soon as possible.]
In the live broadcast room.
[Oh, I see. That arrogant youth is the real Prince Rapunzel, and God Xin is just a scapegoat.]
[So that’s why the king and queen were behaving strangely.
