A long time ago, there was a demon who asked for a princess from the surrounding countries every year.
There are seven countries around, and they agree with each other that each year they will give a princess to the devil.
If the devil gets the princess, he will no longer do evil.
The country has good weather and the people have good harvests every year.
All that happiness is based on the sacrifices of these princesses.
But, one day.
Your bride was also captured by the devil.
A true warrior will not bow to the devil.
You go it alone...
The system suddenly got stuck. It paused and continued:
No, no, you take your little guard and walk all the way into the forest.
After untold hardships, we finally found the castle.
But who knows, the devil knows you are coming, and he mixes the ghosts of other dead princesses with your bride.
You don't know who the real princess is.
You have a chance every day to lead a princess out of the forest before the devil comes home.
If it were not your bride, you would be back in the castle the next morning.
Every time you return to the castle, the demon will chop off a part of your body.
As long as you can bear it, you can spend countless hours looking for your bride.
........
Find your real princess now.

...
The voice belonging to the system slowly disappeared, and a simple, solemn and luxurious castle appeared in front of him.
It is majestic and majestic.
The iron gate of the castle is more than four meters high, painted black, and has rows of sharp blades at the top of the gate.
There is a dense forest all around, and the sound of chirping birds can be heard in my ears.
The air was very fresh, and Cheng Ye's mood improved.
He walked forward and saw that one side of the yard was filled with flowers and plants, and the other side was filled with fruits and vegetables.
This is a self-sufficient place.
Cheng Ye stretched out his hand, preparing to knock on the door.
At the same time, Xiao Ming also received a notification from Cheng Ye to download the copy.
He turned on the crazy following mode.
[Ding, this copy cannot be followed, please try again...]
[Ding, this copy cannot be followed, please try again...]
[Ding, this copy cannot be followed, please try again...]
…
Xiao Ming was furious.
He didn't understand why he couldn't follow even though he tried so hard.
Are his skills broken?
…
As Cheng Ye knocked on the door three times, Chu Yue arrived late.
She wore a gray maid's outfit with pudding on it.
The hair was tied up high, and the beautiful face was exposed at a glance. The skin was fair and the eyebrows were delicate, making the whole person look clean.
A pair of bright eyes, like amber, are unforgettable.
But the blue-grey color under her eyelids revealed that she hadn't rested for a long time, and her eyes were full of fatigue.
She stood respectfully on the other side of the door, raised her head, smiled, and saluted Cheng Ye.
For a moment, Cheng Ye had an indescribable emotion.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a moment.
Chu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and the fog in her eyes seemed to dissipate a little.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if something was about to burst out of the ground, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into: "Hello, I am the maid of this castle - Rose."
"Congratulations on getting a seven-day free stay. During these seven days, I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"You can contact me at any time if you have anything, and I will handle all the problems in life for you."
"I hope this trip will leave a deep impression on you, and I wish you a pleasant journey."
After saying that, Chu Yue's little hands tried hard to open the heavy door.
In the end, Cheng Ye stepped forward to help and pushed the door open.
Chu Yue said apologetically: "This door has been in disrepair for a long time and is too heavy."
Cheng Ye said nothing and followed Chu Yue towards the castle.
Chu Yue walked in front, standing tall and graceful, showing grace in every step.
The walking posture is elegant and calm, with lotus growing at every step.
Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an followed Chu Yue into the castle.
Everything is step by step and organized.
Chu Yue dutifully began to introduce the areas in the castle.
"The first floor is our dining area. We will dine here at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m. every day. Please don't be late."
[Newbie Guide: Note, when encountering rules, please try to abide by them, otherwise there will be penalties. 】
The sudden announcement made Cheng Ye's brows a little more playful.
As expected of a newbie, he has guidance everywhere.
He reached out and touched the enamel bowl on the counter.
A line of small white words appeared next to it: "Antique items from the last century, please handle them with care. If you smash them, you may lose your fortune."
Cheng Ye laughed, it was quite interesting.
This newbie copy gave him the feeling of actually playing the game.
There is no pressure or difficulty, just follow the system's guidance and learn how to pass.
But Wei Sheng'an, who was standing next to him, had a solemn expression.
He has been silent since entering the game, and his brown eyes are filled with complicated emotions.
It seemed that something was wrong.
But this is indeed a newbie copy.
It's also possible that I'm overthinking it.
He comforted himself thus.
Chu Yue continued to walk forward, her voice was sweet and clean.
Every place in the castle is introduced in an orderly manner.
Even the paintings on the wall were introduced.
After walking through the winding corridor and reaching the platform on the second floor, Chu Yue's eyes suddenly flashed.
This piano...
...It feels a little familiar...
But soon, Chu Yue regained her composure and said: "This is the piano left by our master. The third princess likes it very much. If you don't know how to play the piano, don't touch it. The third princess may be angry."
Cheng Ye nodded.
Go around the piano and continue up.
Arriving in front of the corridor on the third floor, Chu Yue froze for a moment. She felt that her memory seemed to be wrong.
Didn’t the princesses live in the same room at the beginning?
Why did they suddenly live apart again?
Chu Yue shook her head. She didn't have time to think carefully, and said mechanically in the next second: "This is where our beautiful princesses live. Counting seven rooms from this one are their bedrooms."
"Please do not approach the third floor after 8 p.m."
"If you are regarded as a gangster, you will be severely punished."
Chu Yue blinked, looking slightly playful.
Cheng Ye frowned.
He noticed something was wrong with the maid in front of him.
Is she a real person or a mindless NPC?
One moment she feels very stiff, and the next moment she feels very agile.
This copy sounds more like a fairy tale world. Is this also a real world?
Or is it just a script?
Cheng Ye suppressed his suspicion and listened carefully to Chu Yue's words.
I just gave the newbie guide, and what she said is probably a very important reminder.
"I heard from our host that you are a warrior he likes very much. You traveled all the way from a distant country single-handedly. He was impressed by your courage, so he gave you a chance to stay for free for seven days."
"If you can pass his test, he will send you a princess."
"You can have more contact with the princesses during the day and see which princess suits you best."
Seven days free?
Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an looked at each other.
This copy has no time limit, but both the system prompts and the NPC in front of you emphatically repeat that there are only seven days of free stay.
In other words, if he still hasn't discovered the real princess after seven days, will he pay a heavier price?
Chu Yue naturally didn't care about the undercurrents among the players. She began to talk about the princesses' likes and dislikes in order.
"The eldest princess likes to eat watermelons. The watermelons grown in the backyard are all prepared for her, but she especially hates tomatoes. The flesh of both items is red. Please don't get confused."
Chu Yue walked forward and walked to the second door.
"By analogy, this is the second princess's room. The second princess has no special preferences, but she can't eat spicy food. Spicy food will cause skin allergies and acne, and she will be angry."
Continue forward and come to the third room.
"This is the third princess's room." Chu Yue smiled: "I just introduced it to you. She especially likes to play the piano. The master downstairs specially prepared the piano for her."
Specially prepared for her? It seems that the treatment is more special than other princesses.
Maybe she is a real princess.
Cheng Ye thought as he kept up with Chu Yue's pace.
"This is the room of the fourth princess. She likes to eat apples and thinks they can help lose weight, so she has a special liking for apples."
"This is the fifth princess's room. She likes to eat oranges. The more sour the better. She likes them as long as they are sour. She also likes to eat jealous bibimbap and the like."
"This is the sixth princess's room. She is relatively introverted and doesn't talk much. We usually chat for a while after dinner, but she is always the first to go back to the bedroom and lock herself up..."
As she spoke, Chu Yue felt something was wrong.
Cheng Ye also felt something was wrong.
Chu Yue felt something was wrong because her mind was filled with the chatter of these princesses. She seemed to have never known an introverted princess.
Shouldn't she be annoyed to death by the princesses every day?
What Cheng Ye felt was wrong was that out of the seven princesses introduced here, six had already been introduced. Except for the third princess who received special treatment, the other princesses were all ordinary.
Such an obvious reminder that something is wrong.
Even if it's a newbie copy, the answer shouldn't be that simple...
Chu Yue hesitated for a moment, then continued walking forward, pointing to the last room: "This is the seventh princess's room. She likes to sleep very much. She eats and sleeps every day. The more she eats, the more she sleeps."
After listening, Cheng Ye was silent for a long time.
The lights in the castle were bright, illuminating his expression clearly. He looked towards the stairs. Counting from here, there were seven rooms in total, all of which were the princess's rooms.
And behind him, there are a bunch of rooms.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How many rooms does this castle have in total?"
Chu Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, her long eyelashes fluttering: "Probably more than a hundred, I haven't counted them either."
Cheng Ye nodded and turned to look at Wei Sheng'an.
Wei Sheng'an looked solemn, as if he had discovered something.
He raised his head and looked at Cheng Ye, and suddenly said: "Where is our room?"
