Chapter 003: Not Pleasing to the Eye

Therefore, Wang Bo strongly suspected that the queen was also a transmigrator, and moreover, a transmigrator who had seen the plot of Aladdin.

Only in this way would she so pointedly warn Jafar.

After all, the world of Aladdin has spread to many realms.

But if that's the case, Wang Bo must be even more careful.

If the queen is truly a transmigrator who has seen the story of Aladdin, then it means she also knows about the magic lamp, and perhaps she has even already obtained it.

In that case, Wang Bo would be no match for the queen at all.

Although Wang Bo now considered himself quite powerful, he was still a far cry from the nearly omnipotent lamp genie in the story.

For a moment, Wang Bo did not even dare to test whether the queen was a transmigrator. If this transmigrator turned out to be very unfriendly to him, wouldn't he be doomed?

Unless Wang Bo strikes now and kills the queen outright.

But if the queen is not a time-traveler, then the act of personally killing her would reach the ears of the time-traveler.

He would not only become a wanted criminal in Agrabah, but also attract the attention of the time-traveler.

Therefore, Wang Bo must remain calm.

"What are you two talking about?"

Just as Wang Bo and the queen were locked in a standoff, a new interloper appeared.

She was a beautiful maiden with black hair, dressed in a blue skirt, a gold ornament adorning her right wrist. Her delicate features, like those of the queen, were charged with an exotic allure.

In terms of looks, this woman is absolutely not inferior to the queen.

In terms of temperament, however, the maiden is still too green, while the queen is mature and poised.

Standing together, the two women looked like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Wang Bo immediately realized that this newly appeared intruder was the female lead in the storyline, the real Princess Jasmine.

"Your Highness." Wang Bo bowed to the young woman.

Princess Jasmine swept her beautiful eyes back and forth over Wang Bo and the queen a few times, and said, "I saw the two of you chatting just now. What were you talking about? Could you tell me?"

Wang Bo said, "It was really nothing. The Queen simply does not wish for the Princess to marry far away, so she wanted to discuss this matter with me."

Princess Jasmine looked at the Queen with a face full of surprise, but said bluntly, "I thought you would marry me off to some faraway place."

The queen said dotingly, "How could I do such a thing."

Princess Jasmine said without mincing words, "I think you should do that, because with one pull, Agrabah would be under your control."

It was clear that Princess Jasmine had little fondness for this stepmother.

One could even say it was filled with hostility.

Wang Bo could understand that, too—a woman of unknown origins suddenly bewitching his father so thoroughly was clearly no simple character.

As the king's daughter, Princess Jasmine naturally had ample reason to regard this woman of unknown origins with hostility.

Set in modern times, this would be a melodramatic family drama.

The queen seemed not to take Princess Jasmine's misunderstanding to heart, and still spoke gently: 'I have never thought of it that way. This is your country, the Sultan is your father, you have the right, and everything here is up to you.'

Princess Jasmine gave a cold snort, seemingly unappreciative.

Wang Bo, standing as an observer, felt he should say a word of fairness.

“I think you might have a slight misunderstanding about the Queen, Princess Jasmine.”

"This matter has nothing to do with you, Jia Fang!" Princess Jasmine retorted without the slightest courtesy.

Wang Bo shrugged. It seemed Princess Jasmine not only had no regard for the Queen, but even had no regard for him.

Who asked Wang Bo to replace a major villain.

Seeing that the three of them seemed unable to get along, he decisively ended this confrontation. "The Sultan is summoning me. I must take my leave, Queen, Princess."

The queen said, "Perfect timing, I also have matters to discuss with the Sultan."

Princess Jasmine, not to be outdone, said, "Me too."

Wang Bo made a gesture of invitation, letting the two go first.

The three went upstairs, passed through the open door of the study, and saw the Sultan sitting in a chair, looking at a document in his hand with a worried expression, as if deep in thought.

Hearing the footsteps, the Sultan looked up and, seeing the three people crowding in, couldn't help but pause in surprise. He asked, "Why have you all come together?"

The queen said, "We happened to meet on the road."

Princess Jasmine nodded.

Wang Bo stepped forward and said, “Sultan, I ran into Hakim and heard you were looking for me.”

Sultan nodded and handed the document in his hand to Wang Bo. "Recently, a strange thing has been happening in our Agrabah. I hope you can investigate this matter thoroughly."

Wang Bo took the documents and glanced over them. The documents stated that over the past ten or so days, one or two people had died every night in Agrabah.

The cause of death was the same.

The entire body withered like a dried corpse, all the blood in the body vanished.

Seeing this, Wang Bo instinctively thought of a monster.

A vampire!

In many novels, films, and television dramas, people whose blood has been drained by a vampire turn into desiccated corpses. Could it be that the transmigrator who came to the world of Aladdin this time is not the queen, but this vampire?

The queen became the queen because of the butterfly effect stirred up by this vampire.

Was she a native?

At this thought, Wang Bo couldn't help but glance at the queen. The queen's face was dignified, revealing no expression.

Just then, Princess Jasmine suddenly walked over and snatched the document from Wang Bo's hand. Wang Bo could have stopped her, but after a moment's thought, he ultimately did not, allowing Princess Jasmine to take the document from his hand.

Princess Jasmine glanced at it a few times and couldn't help but say angrily, "This is too much. Who on earth would treat our subjects like this? This person absolutely cannot be let off lightly."

The Sultan nodded. "So I need Jafar to help me find this murderer. You can do that, right?"

Wang Bo could certainly do that, but the problem was that he didn't want to. What he wanted most right now was to find the magic lamp, not to catch some monster.

What if this transmigrator has actually seen Aladdin, knows that this world has a magic lamp, and finds the lamp before him? So Wang Bo now, more than anyone else, is eager to confirm whether the magic lamp is still inside the Cave of Wonders.

Seeing Wang Bo fall silent, the Sultan's face could not help but show a trace of anger.

"Jafar!" the Sultan called out angrily.

Just then, Princess Jasmine suddenly said, “Since Jafar is unwilling to accept this matter, then leave it to me. With Hakim’s help, I believe I can certainly avenge the people of Agrabah!”
