The Knight from the Fairytales

Chapter 89: Suppressed in the Toilet

Beihai crouched down, then leaped into a standing long jump, his entire body soaring into mid-air. The tremendous force propelled him continuously upward and forward.

Each time he was about to descend, he just happened to spot a bird flying by.

It was an eagle. It had been flying peacefully high up, bothering no one, when inexplicably it got kicked.

This made Beihai almost lose his composure. In ancient times, there was sword-riding flight and cloud-soaring—but here I am, using eagles as stepping stones for high-altitude travel?

Every time his speed was about to drop and he was about to fall, an eagle just happened to be flying right by his feet. It was a shame they couldn't make eye contact, or the eagle would probably be cursing up a storm. But since Beihai was above the eagle, this could be considered the animal version of Ladder Cloud Leap.

Using this set of graceful movements, when there was no eagle ahead and his body began to plummet downward, he knew the gnome must be right below.

With one violent stomp, he directly stomped the gnome into the ground. The surrounding earth cracked all over, forcibly creating a large crater.

"Damn gnome, I'm back."

The gnome was stomped into the pit, its mouth buried in dirt, completely unable to speak. Beihai lightly jumped back, then forcefully yanked the gnome out of the soil.

To prevent the other's magic, he had no choice but to make things a bit uncomfortable. He tore off both of its arms, pondered for a moment, then tore off both of its legs as well.This made him feel much more at ease. If it weren't for needing to talk to the other to resolve the Little Ghost's curse problem, he would have torn out its tongue long ago.

The conflict between the two was completely one-sided. The gnome could only passively take the loss. Although it didn't seem to feel much pain, it certainly wasn't pleasant either.

At this moment, the gnome seemed to have no sensation of physical pain at all. It didn't scream in agony and could even still negotiate with Beihai.

The reality was, at this point, resistance was rather meaningless for the gnome, and it wasn't invincible.

"Don't be so hasty. It was just a little joke. If possible, I can give you prophecies. I can give you many things. We can make a deal."

The gnome was quite confident in this move. Everyone has greed. Some want wealth, some want power, kings want more territory, women want eternally unchanging beauty.

Especially one's own future—who wouldn't want to know what their future holds? But the gnome just couldn't say, "You will definitely die in the future."

Because it couldn't see that, and if it really said that, Beihai would probably retort, "Don't worry, you'll die before I do."

"You shut up first."

Beihai wrenched the gnome's jaw, temporarily rendering it speechless, then dragged it before the Little Ghost.

"The reason you're so ugly and provoke disgust—it's all his fault. You need to fight back. Come, kill him."

Beihai didn't see anything wrong with this. Anyone in this situation would find it unbearable. According to traditional web novels, now is the time for kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

Of course, Beihai wasn't that extreme. Mainly, if the oppressed fought back, they could kill the gnome. Otherwise, there would be some trouble.

Unfortunately, if the Little Ghost did that, she wouldn't be the Little Ghost anymore. Her kindness was unquestionable. You might call her a saint.

But a saint forces others to act to gain moral satisfaction for themselves, while everything the Little Ghost did was sacrificing herself to satisfy others.

This was a pure form of goodness. If one had to name its only flaw, it was that she was too blank about everything in this world—commonly called ignorance.

Seeing the Little Ghost hesitating there, Beihai feared she might want to forgive the other. Then he could only play the villain himself.

He reattached the gnome's jaw and began negotiations, then left the Little Ghost behind and walked deeper into the forest.

"So, what can you give me? Actually, I shouldn't ask that way, since you probably have the same old three things: wealth, power, and princesses.

I have plenty of wealth. As for handsome looks, I'm already a handsome guy myself, no appearance anxiety.

Don't you know the protagonists in novels are usually similar to the readers?

But I do indeed have something I want to ask of you. You must agree. Within my first request, you can only agree and take action."

The gnome was troubled by this demand. But as Beihai said, he seemed to need nothing. For this world, he was quite carefree.

In the past, he had anxiety about getting stronger, but through relentless effort and sweat, he had finally forged an indestructible body.

If he couldn't see a way out and was still suppressed, he might as well make a big profit in the end. It was just one request anyway, something it could fulfill.

"If you can give me endless wealth, I'll help you achieve it."

Beihai and the gnome reached a deal. The gnome opened a small pouch. The pouch seemed tiny, as if it could only hold about 1,000 gold coins before being full.

But in reality, when Beihai took out his wallet and poured the contents in, the falling gold coins were definitely far more than just 1,000.

However, Beihai wasn't worried about gold coins. He possessed the entire undersea treasure, the wealth amassed by countless heroes from around the world.

He even had something as heaven-defying as Aladdin's Lamp, a wishing machine. Mere endless treasure was nothing.

After filling the other's money pouch, the gnome also understood this was worth far more than the price. The payment offered was enough to return everything taken from the Little Ghost.

After the new contract and transaction were completed, Beihai stated his first request.

"I demand that you be suppressed within a toilet, as a stinking stone, until the world's destruction."

According to the terms, the gnome could only fulfill it, just as it had once bewitched the queen.

The queen was everything regarding her firstborn child, and Beihai's first request was impossible to refuse.

"What?"

The gnome left only these two words before disappearing without a trace. If one wanted to find it, they'd probably have to search in a toilet.

The key was, Beihai also forgot to specify which toilet. That was rather awkward, but at least one problem was solved.

He refused to believe there was any loophole to exploit here, or any way to escape. Even Beihai couldn't think of how to break this curse.

Now, the Little Ghost had regained everything. That queen's beauty had surely aged, but it was still relatively early.

In the short term, it wouldn't be noticeable. In the long term, it was hard to say. One thing was certain: the Little Ghost couldn't stay in this country.
