Sorry I have been absent for so long. I have had a slump, plus I was trapped in the wonder of how a smut scene related by Alice would be like… you can't picture right away either, can you? Anyway, the point of this AN, is not to tell you this chapter is having smut, because frankly that's not the case. What I mean to say here is that I will be making some changes in my story, since I realized that there it would be a lot better if I put more Chinese words in it. So, this is the list of changes I will like you to have in mind.

"Big brother" = Dage

"Little flower" = Xiǎohuā

"Little sister"= Mèimei

Ok, other than that, I will be changing the order of names and last names, like Zhuo Xia Long, will be now called Long Zhuo Xia, since it's normal for Chinese people to put last names before the name; having said that, you can proceed to read the chapter.

And… for those wanting to see hell break loose… I had to think it over, and drop it. But it might happen not too long in the future… well story-wise.


Disclaimer: 1/2 Prince belongs to Yu Wo, but the epicness of this fanfic belongs to me... sadly this chapter is far from epic *sobs* well, having said that, read.

Chapter 31: The more the merrier

I logged in Second Life with one mission: To fend off Shen, once and for all. Naturally I looked to for husband, with a resolute expression and the dragged him into a shopping mall. The first step of my plan was to make the guy look at least presentable, even if I had to spend all day convincing him about it. In the end we reached an agreement, I would choose the clothes for the moment I broke the news to Shen, and he would chose mine for the moment I met his stalker… I should have not agreed to his terms.

"That's too boring, try something with more color. Maybe something red and black" Cao-cao said to the girls of the shop, as if the clothes h had handed me were not outrageous enough.

"There is no way in hell I'm wearing that!" I complained loudly as the grisl came back with a very tall wig, that resembled a lot to the ones worn by the ancient French royalty… except from the fact that it was split in 2 colors like the hair of 'Cruella De Vil', replacing the white part for blood red. Truly a hideous wig. And that was not all! He got a lot of matching horrible clothes, shoues and accessories.

"Why not?" He asked me upset "Is because it's red isn't it? I think they should have them in blue as well."

"Even if they DO have it in blue I wouldn't wear that kind of stuff"

"Why?" He insisted as he raised a bland wristband with spikes and a matching bulldog collar.

"Because I can't even bear to look at those, so how do you expect me to wear them?" I complained.

"Then why you can choose my clothes and I can't choose yours?" He demanded.

"Because" I trailed as calmly as I could, still wanting to burn this shop with every piece of clothes in it and him with it "I'm trying to make you look human, but you are only trying to make me look like a circus freak!"

"I don't care what you think, if you want to choose my clothes, then I will choose yours"

"FINE!" I finally agreed "Buy whatever you want, but you will pay for it, and in return you can't say anything about what I will buy for you" I said threateningly.

"Agreed" He said and then he ended up fishing for a black leather full body thing, the dog collar and the matching bracelet… I was thanking god that he didn't get the wig when he got a small red one, but that include a very ridiculous tea-shaped hat, with matching colors that seemed made of foam… well it only seemed like it, it was heavy as hell, so it was not foam.

I walked out of the store looking like I had tried and succeeded in betraying all the principles in what to wear. Now I didn't want my husband to look human, and Shen disappeared from my mind. Now my objective was making him look even more ridiculous than what he made me look like.

'This is war' I declared mentally before dragging him into a several shops… I think I should have gone to every shop in Infinite City, but finally I accomplished my objective.

"Are you sure you want me to wear this?" He asked with disbelief as I shoved him a rainbow colored afro -that looked extremely ridiculous- along with the orange shirt with dots -that had a rather radioactive color, and was said to glow in the darkness.

"I think it suits you perfectly" I said mockingly and then put a pair of purple glasses on his face "Now I only need a red nose and you would be the perfect clown"

I saw his face burn with anger "So you have dragged me all around the city for 2 hours just to make me look like clown?"

"Of course!" I declared "If not how are we supposed to match? I mean, given how I already look like a gothic-seudo-vampire-circus-freak nothing else will do"

What followed after my very fired-up comment, we started quarreling like crazy.

"So, if you are going to be like this, two can play the same game" He huffed.

"Bring it on hubby" I said as I took out my sword out.

"You asked for it wifey" He roared back, taking out his axe.

"Daaaaarliiiiing, where are yoooouuuuu?" A high pitched voice interrupted our stupid quarrel; however, instead of pausing by our side the woman kept out calling for "her darling" and passed by us, not recognizing Cao-cao, who was still wearing the clothes that I so diligently chose for him.

Several minutes passed and then the woman's voice grew further and further.

"To think all I had to do to not be recognized by that crazy fangirl was letting you chose what I would be wearing… I guess that looking like a walking joke also has its benefits"

"Fangirl?" I asked with some curiosity "Could it be that you are a musician?" I asked as the possibility popped in my mind along with the memory of Starlight's followers.

"You knew?" He said sounding cheated "So you planned all of this to get closer to me, the nerve of your!"

"Is that a yes?" I asked uncertain, not having a clue of what he was talking about.

"Are you playing dumb?" He asked with suspicious as he took off the purple glasses and the afro. "You obviously recognized me as DH, The vocalist of 'Lethal Poison'"

I looked at him with incomprehension before stating "Is that the name of a band? It's kind of redundant"

He looked at me with slightly wide eyes, then he stared at my face like he was looking for something in there "Are you serious?" He finally asked.

"Serious about what?"

"Do you even listen to music at all?" He said with anger.

"No" I replied shortly.

"That explains it"

"Does that mean you are a musician?" I asked -in confusion- once more and he nodded.

"I'm a singer, a very famous one… Have you really never heard anything about Lethal Poison?"

I shook my head and he started listing some band names (or so I think) but I could not recognize even a single name.

"What music do you hear then? I named about every band and singer I could think off, and you deny knowing any of them… have you been living under a rock or something?"

"Of course not" I grumpily denied "I know a lot of musicians, like Beethoven and Litz and…" I continued to ramble on names of classic compositors. I knew a lot of them, especially since my father had hired so many instructors to make them teach me how to play the piano… Huh?

I paused on my speech witnessing what it felt like a far away memory, of a man-shaped blur looking at me and insulting me while another blur stood next to it, nodding in agreement. I tried to focus on the memory of the first blur's face, but the only thing I could point about its features was that he had a very thick pair of eyebrows on his face.

"… Thick eyebrows" I said dazedly as I half-came back of my very unwanted flashback. I had already decided not to be Alice anymore, but my stupid brain keeps doing whatever it pleases. It's the 8th one I have gotten since I declared I would let my past behind. But try as I might I can't control them… Stupid medicine, I have already stopped taking it for two four and it still keeps working.

"I know that band!" Cao-cao chirped, pulling me out of my trance "But to think you would like that band… I guess that there are people with all kind of tastes…" He babbled, but I stopped paying him attention as I wondered what kind of retard band could have come up with the idea of naming his name 'Thick Eyebrows', and secretly hopped that the music the band played was not as weird sounding as its name… Not that I would know, all music sounds exactly the same for me.

"…If my manager heard I have been playing this game and gotten married to you, he would get really mad. Me getting married goes against the band's image... Well, if I had joined a game to be rebellious and married someone important it would have been ok, since scandals are usually good for an artist's career."

I looked at him in silence, and after hearing what he just said there was no way in hell I would let him know that I am a famous person. A scandal would damage the career of any woman in my position, basically having the opposite effect than it would for his.

"I won't say a thing" I assured him "I promise you I won't tell a soul, and I never break a promise, so you can be at ease"

"Thanks" He told me with a little smile "Now let's get some normal clothes, the both of us look like fools"

I felt the urge to murder him right there and then. Even if I was somewhat relieved that he didn't have such a wicked fashion sense, he had made me look like a fool on purpose. Damn hubby.

Fifteen minutes latter…

"Are you sure this is going to work?" I asked him as I leaned over his arm.

We were seating on the border of 'Infinite Fountain' -a very easy to spot place- with our normal clothes acting all lovey-dovey.

"Of course it will!" He whispered to my ear. From an outsider's perspective it must have looked like we were flirting.

I was getting bored to death and feeling like pushing away his heavy head away. I looked down on his clothes and felt nauseated, so for the sake of peace I closed my eyes in order to avoid looking at him. Then, all of a sudden I felt myself being pushed backwards and falling into the fountain.

"You bitch" I heard as I sat, completely wet in the fountain's water "He is mine" She roared, pulling the man into her.

*Slap* "How dare you put a hand on my wife?" Cao-cao said furiously.

"Wi-wife?" She stammered

"I won't forgive anyone who harms my beloved" He pushed her away and helped me up and pulled me into him in just one move, making him look cool… Well, almost cool, since the clothes ruined all the potential epicness of the motion.

The woman looked like she had just been cheated, but she probably looked like she nailed the lie, since she declared "If you are lovers, prove it. I bet you are using her as an excuse to turn me down, if that's not the case kiss her right here, right now"

"As you please. I will kiss her to show you the extent of our burning love" he declared, then came on my way and gave me a peck over my lips "See? The passion of our love burns hotter than the flames in hell" He said dramatically, glaring at her all the while.

"You call that a passionate kiss?" She questioned and I couldn't agree more. He calls that thing a hot kiss?

"What would you call it then?"

I sighed, watching them continuing their exchange over how that kiss counted as proof or not. Getting extremely irritated after 5 minutes of hearing their bickering, and not feeling like keep on seeing this I snapped. "Hubby"

"What?" He said turning on my way, but instead of an answer I kissed him over the lips once, then putting a hand over a side of his face, so the woman couldn't see his disbelieving expression I turned the light kiss into a deep one, frenching him with the same way She kisses me, since he is a demon, who learn to kiss in hell itself, so... that should make it a hot kiss, right? I kept my passionate kiss until I saw the woman run away in tears.

"Problem solved" I declared when she disappeared from my sight. Happy to have fullfiled my side of the deal I smiled proudly, and looked towards Cao-cao, was about to ask him to sit again on the fountain border, in the hopes of doing the same to finally fend of Shen, but my smile vanished when I saw his blushing face, that had a smitten expression.

"Whoa" he said dazedly after a while.

"What?" I asked him with a frown.

"That kiss" He trailed, making me wonder if there was something weird in it "Let's do it again!" He said pulling me into him in a flirty way.

I felt confused "Why should I? That girl is already gone, so there is not a need for such things"

The man put an expression that had a mixture of disbelief and anger, opened his mouth like he was going to say something, but I didn't pay him any attention since a voice called me from the PM system.

"Where are you?" Mei asked not bothering to greet me.

"Infinite Fountain" I replied.

"Great" She declared, then suddenly cut the conversation.

I looked dazedly at nothing in particular when suddenly something landed on top of my head.

"Jiejie, I missed you so much!" Said the childish, high-pitched voice, of the thing sitting over my head.

I looked up when the weight lifted, and up in the sky there was a little fairy. I followed it with my eyes, as it flew until it was floating in a standing position right in front of me.

"I'm so glad you found youre sister" A random unknown woman with a moved expression said, and another 5 others nodded and showed equally moved expressions.

"Puck, don't forget about us" "We will miss you" were the first two of what it seemed to be a chain of never-ending farewells, that were said as the group waved their hands away and left to who-knows-where.

I was completely distracted over the completely random situation... Apparently I seemed to have a little brother... I guess that I should have asked if I had any more relatives, but they should have told me so... Stupid amnesia... Oh no! If one of my brothers recognized me then it means that it will be a matter of time that Liang-Dage does too...

I started to panic inwardly, feeling endless waves of despair and didn't so much pay any attention to my didi.

"So this is your husband" The fairy-didi said looking extremely angry to Cao-cao who had was standing next to me. The little fairy took a sword out of his pouch and pointed it at the guy's nose, being barely a few centimeters away from him "Who do you think you are? How dare you lay your hands on my Xiǎohuā (little flower)?"

I saw the guy flinch in fear and back away a couple of steps. I raised my eyebrow over my nickname and looked into the fairy's face and it was a matter of seconds before something clicked on my brain "Dad?" I said probingly and he turned on my way, making me almost faint when I recognized the man...

What the hell was he doing here?

Dad turned his extremely angry green eyes towards my husband and with an extremely threatening voice he roared "Scram" and Cao-cao was nowhere to be seen in the split of a second after being yelled at by the extremely intimidating an imposing fairy that had an aura even more terrifying that that of a demon's...

Sheathing the toothpick sword he looked at me with a smile and waved one of his little hands with a cheeky attitude.

"Why are you here?" I managed to ask, after opening and closing my mouth several times.

"I had to meet this husband of yours, so I could meet him, and give him my best wishes over your relationship" He said warmly.

"But… you chased him away" I pointed out dryly.

"Oh, that's something between men Xiǎohuā, so it's normal if you don't understand. But believe me when I tell you that it was the normal way for a father to greet the man his daughter is meeting for the first time. So I decided to follow the tradition, after all, that was the most polite thing to do."

"But-" I began, many questions coming to my mind.

"Xiǎohuā" dad interrupted me before I could say anything else "Have I ever lied to you?" He asked me with a sad expression.

Feeling extremely guilty that I had hurt him with my doubts I shook my head.

Dad had come all the way here to greet my husband for my sake, since he is such a polite gentleman, how could I doubt him?.

Opening my mouth once again to talk, I let out my voice come out extremely apologetic "I trust you dad so -even if I don't get it- I Know you are right" I ended with a firm nod.

"Good" He said nodding in return, wings flapping rapidly behind his back making him remain floating in midair.

"Why are you a fairy?" I asked blinking in perplexity.

"Well, you see. I talked to Miss Hsu, told her about my worries and asked her for some advice since I wanted to come to your side as fast as possible. She told about the races and explained to me that becoming a fairy would be the best choice since the newbie village was near this city and people would easily level me up…" He trailed and then began to explain the benefits of being a fairy.

I felt my eye twitch as I kept hearing his list of stupid reasons, such like people could carry him everywhere and could save on food expenses, potions... I felt completely certain that this was Mei's revenge over my marriage.

"STARLIGHT, COME HERE RIGHT NOW!" I yelled on the private chanel, but the system notified that she had blocked my PMs, making me even more angry over the fact that I could not vent my frustrations.

"Xiǎohuā, are you listening to me?" dad asked me with a frown.

"Yes" I replied trying very hard to keep my temper on check.

I'm SO going to kill Mei when I see her… How dare she brainwash my dad?

"Good" He said with a nod before flaying a little lower and extending his hand "Then you should call me Puck from now on, since that's my avatar's name" He said with a smile before adding "And… I would like you to pretend that you are my big sister. You see such an old person like me shouldn't be playing this kind of thing. So would you let this dying old man, who came here to spend his last moments with his beloved daughter call you Jiejie?" He ended blinking cutely at me.

I frowned and put a pouting expression over his dramatic words as he looked at me with an eager -blinking- look… Geeze I can never say no to him when he looks like me like that "Fine!" I grumpily agreed.

"Then… Are you inviting me to join your team?" He asked and looked at me with extremely expectant eyes.

I looked at him for a while, the idea of having my dad around me in game looking like that…

"Join my team" I said with a big smile, I was wondering if I would have had to spend the time from now, to the day of the concert playing alone, so it was great that I could spent even so much time together with him.

Raising his arm -as he went up a couple of centimeters- he voiced a "Yay!" and then sat on my shoulder "Now let's go mob-hunting!" he said pointing his sword to the front.

Looking at the metal toothpick -at his hand- and the cute attire over his body, I asked him carefully "What level are you?"

"11" He replied right away, still maintaining a cocky pose, behaving like it was something really cool "Now I can protect you from all harm" He ended with proud and I looked at him with a smile.

How is a level 11 fairy going to protect me?

"If you are here to protect me then I have nothing to fear" I said chuckling, before ruffling his hair with my index finger "Let's go mob-hunting then" I said excitedly, rising up my sword again.

Then we exchanged happy looks and I started walking towards the forest. Secretly planning to level him up, before he realized that level 11 was actually a super low level.
