NOVPUBXia Feng felt a jolt in his heart and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the woman in the red dress standing before the crystal coffin with bare feet.
The woman lifted her foot slightly, as if she wanted to approach the crystal coffin, but she stopped herself in the end.
"Click clack—"
Just then, the cabin began to ascend, and the Mushroom inside, its eyes red and struggling to twist left and right, could not break free as its limbs and neck were shackled in an "X" shape by alloy locks.
"Liszt! You bastard!!"
The girl’s angry curse came from the cabin, and Liszt smiled, glancing at Xia Feng not far away, "Anyway, the result is the same, boy, why don’t you persuade the Princess to just accept being the Princess Consort? That way, I might even spare your life."
He said casually as he stretched his right hand over the red button, about to press it, when suddenly Xia Feng spoke up:
"All right."
"?" Liszt paused in his motion, turning his head in confusion to look at the young man nearby.
Xia Feng was serious: "Prince, I think you’re making a lot of sense, so I’ll try to persuade Mushroom."
"..."
Liszt was momentarily stunned, then his mouth curled into a grin, realizing that this young man saw that he couldn’t be killed and was now scared, afraid of him seeking revenge afterward, so he was quick to show goodwill and change his attitude.
But was it any use?
No use!
How utterly foolish~ Liszt’s lips curved into a faint smile:
"It seems you do understand the wisdom of conforming to the times. Rest assured, as a magnanimous Prince, I will show leniency once everything is done."
As expected, is that the kind of broad-minded man the Prince is, believing he wouldn’t blame me for becoming his wife’s master~~ Xia Feng mused inwardly.

Now, just one final step left, to have Mushroom recognize her mother!
This was a very easy task for him.
Xia Feng turned his head toward the Mushroom in the cabin and smiled, "Mushroom, recognize the Princess Consort as your mother."
"Eh?" Mushroom was a bit dumbfounded. Hadn’t they agreed that they absolutely must not let the birth ritual be completed?
"Trust me, I have a way to deal with the Prince." Xia Feng walked closer to the edge of the Infinite Field and used Near-distance Transmission to speak in Mushroom’s mind.
Mushroom’s eyes widened, then looked skeptical.
The voice of Xia Feng in her mind continued, "Due to some unknown reasons, the Princess Consort has already recognized me as her master. Now all we need is your acknowledgement, and we can make the Princess Consort be born and enter into a contract with me, rendering everything the Prince has done useless."
"..." Mushroom opened her mouth, looked down doubtfully at the equipment on her body, then raised her head to look at the button under the Prince’s control; the Prince hadn’t pressed the button.
So she wasn’t in a dream... right?
Xia Feng looked on with expectancy. Although he had only known Mushroom for a few years, he had come to know her inside and out and trusted her deeply, so he believed that Mushroom would trust him too.
Mushroom remained silent for a moment, then frowned and scoffed, "I don’t."
Xia Feng: "..."
"Don’t think I don’t know. In fact, I’ve already entered the real dream!" Mushroom lifted her adorable little face, her eyes twinkling with intelligence as she let out a cold laugh, "You think you can fool me by disguising yourself as Xia Feng? Let me tell you, no way!"
Xia Feng: "..."
Xia Feng and Prince exchanged looks, and Prince cracked a smile, "Kid, it seems that even my daughter doesn’t trust you much, so there’s no helping it. We’ll have to do it my way."
As he said this, he was about to press the button when Xia Feng, feeling helpless, spoke: "Hold on, Prince, I mean, there’s no need to rush, just give me one more minute."
Convincing Mushroom to willingly recognize her mother through the real dream would take several hours, while Xia Feng’s Third Rank state could only last half an hour; he didn’t have time to waste with Prince.
After thinking it through, he turned to Mushroom and earnestly transmitted his message: "Mushroom, you’re a lacy girl. Your favorite anime is ’Citrus Scent’, your favorite character in the two-dimensional world is ’Blue Origin Youzi’, your favorite color is green, and you adore teddy bear bitter tea and blue cat lingerie. Your height is 155cm, your weight fluctuates between 47 and 48 kilograms, your waist is 61cm, your hips are 82cm, and your chest size is..."
As Xia Feng spoke, Mushroom’s eyes widened in shock, her little face visibly reddening, steam practically rising from her as she glared in embarrassment and anger:
"Shut, shut up!!"
Xia Feng instantly fell silent, ultimately not mentioning Mushroom’s bust size. Mushroom was careless at home, not minding him at all and leaving her clothes and underwear strewn about; his eyes were like rulers, and it was hard not to know her measurements.
Mushroom’s complexion quickly returned to normal, her eyes slightly narrowed as she scoffed, "So what if you know all these things about me." 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She looked around the cabin thoughtfully, "This dream must have extracted my memories, even those of Xia Feng, which is why you can imitate Xia Feng’s tone and demeanor so accurately! Because you are Xia Feng from my memories, not only a pervert but shameless too."
I really appreciate it, Little Mushroom!!
Xia Feng felt his fists clench: "Very well, it seems that I need to bring out something more explosive to convince you!"
Xia Feng lifted his chin and scoffed with a cold transmission, "Little Mushroom! There’s a secret pull-out door in the bottom right corner underneath your bed, where there’s a green box hidden. Inside the box, there’s a bunch of toys, a single-headed dragon, a vibrating egg, lube..."
The more Xia Feng spoke, the more explosive his words, and Mushroom’s little face turned as red as a blaze, the shade of crimson spreading from her cheeks to her ear tips. She clenched her eyes shut, muttering under her breath in denial,
"I’m not listening, I’m not listening, the chanting of a bastard turtle, I’m not listening... It’s all fake, it’s all fake, it’s all fake...."
She had hidden those treasures so well, how could Xia Feng have possibly found them? He couldn’t have known about them! Right, it must be another extraction from her memory, and that’s how the Xia Feng in the dream knew! It had to be!
So, I haven’t socially died! Thinking of this, she suddenly felt it was no big deal—after all, dying in a dream doesn’t count as dying~
"Last time didn’t you ask me to help find a key? I was just checking to see if it had fallen under the bed, and guess what~ you forgot to lock and close your secret pull-out door, and the box inside was open, tsk... that’s not my fault..."
Xia Feng’s words were like the whispering of a demon within one’s heart, the mere sound of his low laughter enough to make someone go insane with frustration. Mushroom bit her teeth down hard and squeezed her eyes shut, merely wishing for this damn dream to end quickly!
When Xia Feng saw that this idiot wasn’t paying attention to him at all, he sighed with resignation,
He had never expected that the biggest obstacle would come from this foolish teammate! However, he could understand; after all, if he put himself in her shoes, he, too, would find it hard to believe that anyone could mysteriously win over the Princess’s recognition, which seemed absolutely fantastical.
With the existence of the device for real dreams nearby, it was difficult not to wonder if one had already fallen into a dream.
