? Prince Vol 4 Chapter 10 (2/2)
“Alright, let’s go eat!” Just as I was about to raise s and walk in front, two hands suddenly rested on my shoulder
“Prince, the bookshop is alraph session for the portfolio is next week Please renature look neater” I turned around to see Yu Lian-dàsăo s at me She then turned towards Gui and asked, “How are the books co?”
Gui nodded and answered, “I have two books that are ready to be published, plus the one that Jing and Yun gave me So there are a total of three books that can be displayed on the day of the grand opening”
“Prince, the construction of Infinite Rhapsody has caused Infinite City’s budget to be in the red again,” Yu Lian-dàsăo’s sanize more concerts and sell more portfolios in order to earn so your portfolios, do you understand?”
“Understood…” I sed stiffly, andabout what I had to do
The days that folloere a living nightmare Within teeks, Infinite Band had performed five concerts Moreover, in order to attract audiences, every concert featured new stunts, such as ju onto the stage dressed up as angels
(That hen I finally realized why angels in paintings are always depicted standing up, straight as an arroith only their ar a pair of wings weighing over thirty kilograht?!)
What was even stranger was the fans see stirred up during the first concert Thus, in every subsequent concert, XiMen Feng, under the sehis ass The harder he got his ass kicked, the happier the fans would be
Sigh, it
(XiMen Feng furiously roars: I’uy, damn it!)
Next, the bookstores were finally done being constructed thanks to all the hard work from Gui, Fairsky, and the others They built two bookstores One was in the middle of don and the other was combined with a café, built on the lakeside with a nice atned to be a couples-trap Therefore, , would finally be put to good use
On the day of the autograph session, there was a surging sea of people… Wait, what? That phrase is too ordinary—it’s not raph session amped with so many people that it seemed as if Jolin Tsai4, Jay Chou5, Andy Lau6 plus Stephanie7 all appeared together in Xiether in one es ranging from five to fifty
“Thank goodness we have the flying carpet! I don’t think we could enter the bookstore otherwise” I released a sigh, looking down at the horrifyingly jam-packed crowd
“Sunshi+ne, land on that estured at a very se, complete with tables and chairs, surrounded by soldiers led by Nan Gong Zui for security purposes, to prevent the fans froe
“Sure” Sunshi+ne obediently directed his flying carpet to land slowly on the stage
I juhtly at the screae Then I walked to a pre-arranged table and sat in the chair
“The autograph session shall now begin,” I said as I exhaled deeply, picking up the pen prepared by the workers as I readied n until my arm fell off
“Thank you for your support”, “Handshakes are fine”, “Uh, kisses are not acceptable!”, and “Zui! Hurry and drag this fan off the stage!” were ned
I gave out autographs while answering each and every fan’s questions with a gentle smile From time to time, there would be fans anted to kissto be rejected that they would just forcefully throw theed theraphs This cycle continued to be play out: sign, answer, be offered a kiss, be forced a kiss, and watch theet taken away…
Out of the corner of my eyes, I would occasionally sneak a peek toward the other members of Infinite Band Gui’s situation was no different than th, he had already been kissed forcibly on his cheeks by “wolves” several tirief as he continued signing and was even using XiMen Feng, as previously enjoying a break, as his shi+eld The jealous fangirls had already used their wolf claws to scratch several bloody crosses on poor XiMen Feng the hot babe, and he wasn’t even allowed to retaliate
(As Yu Lian-dàsăo would say, the paying custo, so no ht)
In contrast, Wicked was in aa warrior and with his aloof face, hardly any fangirls dared to approach hiazed at hih ready to s him up if the opportunity came
Since Phoenix and Fairsky were both girls, allowing the male fans to do as they pleased with them was obviously out of the question The duo was surrounded by so many Infinite City warriors that I could barely even see their silhouettes… What kind of attitude is this? Why is Zui the only warrior protecting e lord at the sight of women…
The autograph session went on like this until even XiMen Feng the hot babe had becaraphs, except noasn’t just Gui, but everyone in the group ere holding back tears as they signed If there weren’t any fans looking at ood chance that I would have cried out loud I glanced atuncontrollably as though as I had a stroke, while keeping count in my mind how many people were still lined up
“The last one…” I finished giving outdeeply moved Luckily, it was a dude and it was quite obvious fro back towards Fairsky and Phoenix that he wasn’t the slightest bit interested inI felt touched beyond words
Sure enough, just as I finished signing, he i into a half-kneeling position on the floor A colossal bouquet of red roses appeared out of nowhere in his left hand and an enor with a diaht hand
“O dearest Lady Fairsky, my love for you flows ceaselessly like the Yellow River, stretches on infinitely like the white clouds above, and crashes wave after wave like the ocean tide…” Such nauseating drivel gushed forth endlessly fro all around flowed ceaselessly like the Yellow River as well
“…So, beloved Lady Fairsky, please marry me!”
“Sorry, I have to tell everyone, there’s already sohtly, not even sparing a glance at the e, and then bowed towards her fans below the stage to express her apologies
“Who is it? Who is the one that dares to steal away e, Fairsky’s fans began to riot I sighed helplessly I probably have the most enemies in the world
Then, Fairsky inhaled deeply and raised her head to gaze at the sky towards Sunshi+ne, as sitting on the flying carpet “He is the one that I like”
“Ehh?” Including mine and Sunshi+ne’s, there were five “ehh” sounds
Fairsky gazed at the astonished Sunshi+ne with her cheeks flushed red After a long while, she turned and bowed to me “Sorry Prince, but I realized that I have fallen in love with Sunshi+ne, so I can’t have feelings for you anymore”
“T-this…” I stuttered aardly for quite a while, but couldn’t seem to squeeze out even half a sentence
Oh, why does my head hurt more now compared to the time Fairsky tried to force e of heart and fell in love with someone else I would be 120 supportive, but couldn’t you pick a more normal partner? First you fall for a tranny likeme because that would be just homosexual, but you’re now in love with an NPC! What would that be called?
Even bestiality is better than falling in love with a NPC At least a beast has a physical body, but NPCs… Don’t tell ht; I’m in love with several lines of computer code”?
“Sunshi+ne, don’t you like azed at Sunshi+ne earnestly, sounding fully confident9
“I… I…” Sunshi+ne knitted his eyebrows tightly; he was clearly at a loss
“You really like Fairsky as well?” I paled in shock Sunshi+ne is an NPC Even though he has gained self-awareness, he is still different fro For example, he does not kno to tell a lie, so he cannot cos for Fairsky, he would have said so directly, and yet he could not seem to speak? Does that mean…?
Sunshi+ne turned towards me, confusion written in his eyes
“Prince, this is not a good place for an interrogation!” Gui pulled e
“You’re right” I could only forcibly suppressthe appearance of the Blood Elf Prince
I put on a polite sraph session shall end here for today Infinite Band shall work harder in the future, and we hope that you would continue to support us Thank you”
The seconds I waited as the crowd dispersed felt like yearsThen, I ied Fairsky and Sunshi+ne aithand Yun’s house Afterthem to wait for me at their home
Just as I started walking, I suddenly stopped and turned to face the other Infinite Band hly threatening tone, “No one is allowed to co, you hear?”
The trio behindmy stern expression, they all nodded in unison

Footnotes
1 Unable to make heads or tails of the situation: Here, Yu Wo uses “丈八摸不着头脑”, (zhàng bāversion of a Chinese idio mō bu zháo tóu nǎo)
In some Chinese idioms, the first phrase is a description for a riddle, while the following phrase offers the explanation In this case, the first phrase 丈二金刚 (zhàng èr jīn gāng) means ‘Twelve foot tall Monk (Also known as Vajrapani)’, the following phrase 摸不着头脑 (mō bu zháo tóu nǎo) means ‘can’t touch his head’ Literally, it means the monk is so tall that you can’t touch his headThe whole idio or bizarre that one wouldn’t knohat to do immediately It best describes the confusion/questions one usually has in the ine you’re in thea murder case, ‘how could the murder occur when the room is locked from the inside?’ is such confusion)
Yu Wo, however, exaggerates the idiohteen feet tall, and thus Prince could not reach its head (understand) [Credit to Erihppas]
