Chapter 1167 Dark Cinderella
Shi Li stared at the nightingale in the cage and shook her head arrogantly and indifferently.
"Do not."
"I have already promised to help you turn back into a human. You shouldn't make any other excessive requests."
She rejected Lady Anna.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned, and then began to frantically refresh the screen in anxiety.
[Anchor, please don't do that! ]
[What if she doesn’t tell me???]
[It's okay to agree first and regret later! ]
But Mrs. Anna was not angry at all after being rejected, but was relieved. She said that to test whether Shi Li really wanted to help her.
If Shi Li agreed to her conditions without thinking, Mrs. Anna would only feel that she was fooled. But if she rejected Shi Li directly, she would feel at ease.
"Okay, remember you promised to turn me back into a human." Mrs. Anna took two steps forward and whispered to the edge of the birdcage, "The key is in the leftmost drawer under the table. It's a silver key with a bell tied to it. Be careful when you take it."
After listening to this, Shi Li took a deep breath.
Opening the drawer and taking out the key is a very simple thing for a person. But she is just a little sparrow now, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to do this.
She couldn't give up. Thinking of Lorraine who was imprisoned and might even be tortured, Shi Li seemed to have the courage. She flapped her wings and flew under the desk. She grabbed the table with one claw and tried to pull the drawer handle out with the other claw.
I tried my best, but the drawer didn't move at all.
Shi Li thought about it, bit the edge of the table with her beak, and used both claws to grab the handle of the drawer and pull it out with force.
This time the drawer finally moved, opening a gap as thin as a thread.
The price was that Shi Li's mouth was rubbed by the hard table and bled.
Feeling the fishy-sweet taste in her mouth, Shi Li felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, but now was not the time to cry. She continued to push hard, not caring whether her mouth was bleeding again or whether her two claws were torn. She just wanted to open the drawer quickly.
The gap between the drawers opened a little wider, and with a little more effort she could get her paw in to get the key.
But the next second, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the king's voice was heard.
He is coming to the study!
The drawer was already ajar. Even if she hid now, the king would notice something was wrong and would not give her a second chance to get the key.
Shi Li figured it all out in a flash, and pulled the drawer even harder.
Finally, the drawer opened wide enough for her to thrust her paw in and reach the key inside.
She grabbed the key and pulled it hard, and the key was brought out, and the small bell tied to it was also brought out, jingling.
Shi Li was so frightened that she stumbled towards the window grabbing the key.
At the same moment the door of the study opened and the king came in.
The nightingale in the cage uttered one mournful cry after another before he heard the bells.
The bird's cry was heart-wrenching, and it banged its head against the cage, which immediately attracted the king's attention.
Shi Li knew that Lady Anna was buying time for herself, so she grabbed the key and flew towards the palace dungeon without looking back.
There were two soldiers guarding the dungeon entrance and no one was allowed to approach.
Shi Li knew very well that the king would soon discover that the key had been stolen, so he accelerated in mid-air, risked flying directly between two soldiers, and headed straight into the depths of the dungeon.
"A bird just flew in?"
"It seems like... the bird seems to be holding something in its claws?"
"You stay here and I'll go in and take a look!"
The two soldiers became suspicious, and one stayed behind while the other chased into the dungeon.
Shi Li flew forward desperately, and flew to the innermost cell by instinct. Sure enough, he saw Lorraine sitting alone in the corner, his clothes in tatters.
She flew in, pecked Lorraine hard on the back of his hand, and threw the keys in front of him.
Lorraine stared at her in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Uncuff yourself quickly! The soldiers are chasing us!" Shi Li was so anxious that she flew in front of him, chirping as she flew.
