Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Sleeping Beauty 7

Inside the door was a resplendently golden bedroom–

A luxurious European-style court bed was placed right in the middle, with crimson velvet satin draping from the golden Roman columns around it. Withered roses were scattered beside the bed, a gold chain and pearl hairpin rested on the bedside, and the pillow was delicately trimmed with gold threads.

Tan Xiao picked up a golden comb from the dresser and ran it through his hair a couple of times, feeling astonished, “Unbelievable, everything in this room is either gold or silver!… Look! Even gems!”

The man with glasses disapproved immensely, “And here I thought you found some important clue, really… Hey! Did you come in here for the gold and jewels?!”

Tan Xiao paused, “…Ah, we were supposed to look for the sword.”

It seemed he’d just remembered that, so he put down the comb and began searching for the sword.

He opened a beautiful large wardrobe filled with various luxurious gowns, then lifted the mattress and curtains, but found nothing suspicious.

The man with glasses said, “This room obviously belongs to a woman, how could there be a sword here? I think we should look somewhere like an armory.”

He turned to leave and had taken a few steps when he noticed that the man in the hat was still lingering in the room.

“What’s up?” the man with glasses turned back and asked curiously, “Aren’t you leaving?”

The man in the hat was frowning deeply, scrutinizing the lavish bedroom with great concentration.

He gently wiped the tabletop with his hand, pinched the dust between his fingers, and then looked down at the shoe prints on the floor tiles…

The man with glasses also looked around and, puzzled, moved closer to him, asking, “What is it, did you find something?”

“The dust in this room, there’s very little,” the man in the hat said, frowning, “Much less than in other places.”

“Now that you mention it, it is strange…” the man with glasses also examined more closely, unable to understand, “But why would that be? Is there something special about this room?”

“Definitely special!” Tan Xiao chimed in, “Haven’t you noticed how luxurious this room is!”

The man with glasses retorted irritably, “Do you really need to say it? Anyone with eyes can tell!”

Tan Xiao laughed heartily, “Ah! I just remembered, you’re nearsighted~”

The man with glasses: “…”

“Okay, stop arguing,” the man in the hat walked over to Tan Xiao, frowned, and looked him over, “You, turn around.”

Tan Xiao widened his eyes, “What for?”

The man in the hat didn’t bother explaining to Tan Xiao, instead he just went behind him and plucked a few strands of hair from his head.

Long, golden hair.

“He just combed his hair with the golden comb on the table, these are the room owner’s,” the man in the hat held up the hair so both could see, “A woman who resides in a room like this has to be either the Queen or the Princess, right?”

“The Queen would definitely live with the King, so…” the man with glasses realized, pointing at the hair in his hand, “So this room must belong to a princess with golden hair!”

“That’s right,” the man in the hat nodded, “We’ve come all this way, and everyone we’ve seen has been asleep, except we haven’t seen the Princess. Where could the Princess be?”

Tan Xiao grew more confused as he listened and couldn’t help but interject, “Does it matter where the Princess is? Weren’t we supposed to be looking for the sword?”

The man with glasses said, “Who’s ‘we’? We are us! You are you! We are not the same side, understand?!”

“Damn!” Tan Xiao got angry, and snatched the hair from the man in the hat, “Then give me back the hair! I found it first!”

The man with glasses was about to object when…

“Alright,” the man in the hat slightly headache, “We still haven’t found the sword, let’s just cooperate for now, and when we find the sword, whoever gets it will rely on their own skills, how does that sound?”

Once they found the sword, his side had more people, and the advantage would only be greater.

The man with glasses also figured this out and kept quiet.

Tan Xiao thought it over, then handed back the hair, generously saying, “Okay! We’ll do it your way and cooperate temporarily!”
