Chapter 43: The True Colors of the Sea King (asking for monthly tickets)

When Wang Xi heard the witch call him Gului, he immediately guessed that the other party probably learned the information about him from the goblin settlement.

Wang Xi's simple disguise might be able to fool those innocent goblins, but how could he fool this witch?

But Bev?
Why does this name sound so familiar?

"Witch! What do you want to do?!"

At this time, Pinocchio stepped forward, stood in front of Wang Xi, and questioned the woman in pink skirt who was riding towards him.

The brown horse stopped obediently a few meters away from the two of them.

The Sugar Witch glanced at the robot boy with her emerald eyes, then stretched out her slender white index finger and lightly touched his dark green lips.

"Little Iron Man, I let you go this time. If you yell at me again, you'll be a donkey for the rest of your life."

Her voice is soft yet powerful, slightly hoarse, and as mellow as red wine.

"I'm not afraid of you."

Faced with the threat, Pinocchio's eyes were firm.

"If you try to hurt my friends, I will stop you even if it means death!"

"Oh?" The Sugar Witch glanced at the two black-haired young men and smiled slightly. "It seems you have become friends."

"What an enviable friendship."

She played with a strand of curly blonde hair on her forehead and smiled charmingly:
"I didn't mean to hurt him, little iron man."

"then you……"

Pinocchio seemed to be very afraid of the witch and was about to say something when Kai gently pulled him away.

Wang Xi gave the young man a reassuring look.

Through the brief observation just now, he roughly judged what type of woman this powerful witch was.

Dressed elegantly, with graceful demeanor and unhurried words... she possesses a deep sense of pride and confidence, a confidence born of strength. Furthermore, through the goblins' fragmented words and Pinocchio's experiences, we can also glimpse a kind and benevolent side deep within the witch's heart.

If Wang Xi were to face a five-star hero head-on, he would simply surrender. Even if he played all his cards, his chances of winning were slim.

But if the other person is a woman...

Then Wang Xi felt more confident.

The villain in his heart held his chin in his hand and thought deeply. In an instant, he sketched out the image of the sugar witch Bev and thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Wang Xi decided to follow the following principles:

Respect her elegance; acknowledge her confidence; understand her pride; and be grateful for her kindness.

Based on the four principles, we should know the limits, use appropriate humor to narrow the alienation caused by arrogance, and demonstrate our wisdom and sincerity.

The last point is especially important.

This is Wang Xi's valuable experience.

"Miss Witch, I'm sorry for deceiving your subordinates, but I mean no harm."

Wang Xi took a step forward and saluted with his hand on his chest.

He looked apologetic and spoke sincerely.

"My real name is Gail Farrell. I'm a down-and-out noble from Randall. I came to the Magic Forest to search for petrified lizards..."

Wang Xi briefly stated his purpose.

Pinocchio on the side said in a deep voice:

"Gai didn't lie. Not only did he not harm the goblins, he even helped them defeat the invading blackened monsters."

"I know."

The Sugar Witch smiled and said lightly.

"Otherwise you wouldn't be standing here unharmed and still able to talk to me."

Her eyes fell on the black-haired young man and she spoke softly:
"You don't seem afraid of me?"

"Before I came into contact with the goblins, I was very scared."

Wang Xi lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

"Oh?" The Sugar Witch smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"But after that, I wasn't so scared anymore."

"why?"

"When speaking of Miss Witch, I saw in the Goblin King's eyes awe and gratitude for you. Although you are called a 'witch,' you always protect monsters like them. This kindness and goodness is even greater than that of most human lords and even kings."

"You are not a cruel and bloodthirsty leader."

Wang Xi laughed.

He raised his eyelids and looked directly into the witch's green eyes.

"If you wanted to take my life, you would have had countless opportunities before. But you didn't. Instead, you showed up on your own initiative... I guess you think there's more to my story than meets the eye."

"Heh." The Sugar Witch chuckled. She leaned forward, lowered her head slightly, and stared closely at the black-haired young man in front of her. "You're smarter than I thought, little Jiayi."

"I'm honored to receive praise from Miss Witch."

Wang Xi spoke in a humble tone but looked natural.

Unexpectedly, the Sugar Witch changed the subject, patted the head of the brown horse under her, and said lightly:

"But I took your horse without your permission and tamed it. Aren't you angry?"

"It is a blessing from God that this foal can stay by Miss Witch's side."

Wang Xi smiled.

"Compared to spurs, stinking sweat, and the same old hay and rotten beans, naturally, soft skirts, sweet breezes, and endless green grass and fruit are more blissful."

"Besides, who could refuse a beautiful and elegant queen?"

"Cuckoo..."

Hearing this, the witch with blonde hair and pink skirt chuckled.

Her shoulders trembled slightly as she sat sideways gracefully on the horse's back. Her emerald eyes looked at the black-haired young man with interest, her tone curious:
"You mean... the Queen?"

Wang Xi nodded and said sincerely:
"Perhaps Miss Witch hasn't noticed, but you actually have a very strong aura. It's an aloofness and majesty that's even more arrogant than that of human nobles. I almost froze when I spoke just now, and my heart is still beating wildly."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and gently placed his palm against his chest. The Sugar Witch was clearly enjoying it, her eyes narrowing in a smile, the corners of her mouth curling upward. For some reason, she felt her heartbeat inexplicably quicken.

This little guy is so sweet...

Moreover, he understood her better than those stupid monsters and even her two sisters.

Bev's green eyes flickered.

Pinocchio had been stunned, watching this conversation that he couldn't understand. When he heard what Kay said, his expression tightened and he asked with concern:
"Gai, are you okay? Is the Ice Heart Curse acting up again?"

Wang Xi and the Sugar Witch were both stunned.

Turn your head and look at him.

"what happened?"

This time, Pinocchio was also stunned.

Wang Xi was a little amused, but he could understand. His nice words had caused misunderstandings from this innocent boy.

The Sugar Witch got off the horse silently without saying a word.

She walked over slowly and stopped in front of Wang Xi. Immediately, she reached out and touched the young man's chest.

Pinocchio clenched his fists and was about to stop him. Wang Xi quickly raised his hand and said:
"Don't worry, Miss Witch won't hurt me."

The main reason why he was so sure was that the entry above the witch's head had quietly changed from yellow, which originally represented neutrality, to a friendly light green.

Pinocchio did not act rashly because of his trust in Kay, but just stared at the witch vigilantly.

It seems that if the other party has the slightest malicious intention, he will take action.

Bev glanced at him, then turned her gaze back to the black-haired young man in front of her, and said softly:
"You still have eleven months."

"I know, Miss Witch."

In Bev's eyes, the young man did not show the nervousness and fear she had expected. Instead, he was very calm and even maintained an elegant smile.

This kind of elegance is exactly what Bev appreciates.

She asked with a little surprise:

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Of course I'm afraid," Wang Xi nodded. "That's why I came to the Magic Forest and started my journey of self-rescue."

Hearing this, Bev smiled and couldn't help but raise her hand, moving it from the young man's chest to his forehead.

Use your fingertips to smooth the other person's black hair, and gently stroke the other person's cheek with the back of your hand... These subtle movements are like caring for a beloved work of art.

"Mr. Gayi, I'm very interested in the follow-up to your story."

Bev whispered.

"Would you like to come back to the candy house with me? Over sweet tea and snacks, tell me your story..."

"Of course." Wang Xi bowed his head slightly and saluted again. "It's my honor, Miss Witch."

Gay...

Don't go!

You can’t go!

Pinocchio standing by looked anxious, and his big black eyes kept winking at his good friend.

You will be turned into a donkey by this cunning witch!
Then he worked hard for her day after day until he was drained and died of exhaustion!
...

...

The brown-red pony, pulling a gorgeous float made entirely of candy, drove into the depths of the southern part of the Magic Forest.

When the monsters in the forest see this candy carriage, they will all stop and prostrate themselves in greeting.

Wherever the carriage passed, the air was filled with the sweet and colorful icing sugar dust. Monsters flocked to it, happily inhaling it.

now.

Wang Xi and Pinocchio were sitting in a colorful carriage, with soft cushions made of marshmallow cream under their buttocks, and they could hardly feel any bumps throughout the journey.

Click.

The black curly-haired boy raised his head and bit off a star-shaped wind chime pendant, his eyes lighting up.

Immediately, he broke off the velvet cake-like armrest and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering:

"Hao Chi..."

Of course Pinocchio didn't forget his friend, and he tore off another piece of chocolate from the heart-shaped car door and handed it to him.

"Ga...Gayi, Nichi."

Wang Xi glanced at the boy helplessly.

"..."

Looking at Pinocchio with his mouth full of frosting and a satisfied look on his face, he thought to himself, where is your original reserve and resistance?

Wang Xi shook his head and took the chocolate.

He tried taking a bite, and a rich cocoa aroma, intertwined with a hint of bitterness and the richness of milk, immediately melted in his mouth.

"It's really delicious..."

Wang Xi felt that this was more delicious than any precious chocolate he had ever had in his previous life.

Look up.

On the marshmallow mat opposite, the Sugar Witch sat in a dignified posture, holding a piece of parchment and reading it.

That was Wang Xi's demon hunting commission.

Noticing the young man's gaze, the witch smiled without raising her eyelids.
"If you like, Mr. Kay, please help yourself."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Witch, but everything should be done in moderation."

Wang Xi said politely.

The blonde witch nodded, seemingly in agreement.

She raised her emerald eyes again and said softly:

"Call me Bev."
