Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 126 The Incredible Feather Legend

Just as everyone was celebrating the cat's curse being lifted, a palace maid ran over in a hurry, her face pale: "Princess, the emperor's golden feather is lost!"

The golden feather is a mysterious item in the palace, said to have the power to summon a phoenix. Lily frowned as soon as she heard it: "This is no small matter, we must find it immediately!"

Mo Li asked, "Maid, when was the last time you saw the golden feather?"

The maid replied, "Just last night I saw it lying safely in the treasury. But when I went to check this morning it was gone."

Lily thought for a moment: "Where are the guards of the treasure house? Did they find anything unusual?"

The maid shook her head: "The guards said nothing happened overnight and they didn't see anyone suspicious."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lao Hu suddenly patted his head and said: "We forgot an important role - the parrot in the palace. It is a bird that can talk."

The parrot "GuGu" always likes to imitate human speech, and it has witnessed everything in the palace. Lily led everyone to the birdcage, where the parrot was pecking at its feathers leisurely.

"Gugu, did you see anything last night?" Lily asked softly.

The parrot tilted its head and suddenly shouted loudly: "Thief, thief! Man in black, man in black!"

"The man in black?" Mo Li frowned. "It seems this is not a simple theft."

Just then, a strange voice came: "You will never find the golden feather!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found a black cat in the corner, its eyes sparkling in the night. It licked its paws calmly, and then said, "I am another guardian here. Only by finding the right clue can we find the golden feather."

Lily was surprised by the sudden appearance of the black cat, but she immediately realized that the cat might know more secrets. "Tell us, where is the clue?"

The black cat blinked: "The clue is hidden in the palace's garden maze, but you have to pass the test of the puzzle."

Everyone immediately set off for the garden maze. The garden was full of flowers and trees, but the seemingly peaceful maze was full of mysteries. As soon as Lily and her team entered the maze, they were shrouded in thick fog, and everything in front of them became blurred.

"It seems we have to rely on our wisdom to find clues." Lily said firmly.

The first puzzle of the maze is a stone tablet with the words: "You can only move forward, but you can't go back. Choose the right path to move forward."

Lao Hu touched his chin, and suddenly an idea came to him: "We can use stones to mark the path we have walked, so that we won't have to go back."

Everyone praised Lao Hu's cleverness and followed his suggestion to mark the way forward with stones. Soon, they encountered the second puzzle: a stone bridge with various strange symbols carved on it.

"What do these symbols represent?" Mo Li asked curiously.

Meow then used the wisdom of a magician: "These symbols are an ancient language. Each symbol represents an animal. We must find the correct combination to cross the stone bridge."

Under Meow's guidance, everyone successfully solved the symbol puzzle and continued to move forward. At the end of the maze was an ancient door with a phoenix carved on it.

"This must be where the golden feather is hidden." Lily said excitedly.

There is a final puzzle at the door: a wooden box with the words: "Only those with a pure heart can open this door."

Lily took a deep breath and gently placed her hand on the box. The box instantly emitted a soft light and slowly opened, revealing a golden feather inside.

"We found it!" Lily picked up the feather excitedly, but at this moment, a cold voice came: "This is more than just a simple feather."

A mysterious man in black suddenly appeared with a sly smile on his face: "The golden feather can not only summon the phoenix, but also open the door of time and space. Do you know what this means?"

Lily took a step back alertly: "Who are you?"

The man sneered, "I am the leader of the Shadow Organization, Black Shadow. We have been looking for this feather, and today we finally got it."

Mo Li drew his sword: "Don't even think about it!"

The shadow dodged Mo Li's attack lightly, waved his hand, summoned a group of dark creatures, and rushed towards everyone. The battle was about to break out, Lily and her team fought hard, but the power of the shadow was extremely strong.

At the critical moment, Meow suddenly showed his powerful magic power, summoned a ray of light, and temporarily repelled the shadow and his dark creatures. Lily took the opportunity to take back the golden feather and held it tightly in her hand.

"We must find a safe place to study the true power of this feather," said Lily.

Meowth nodded, "We need more time to unravel the secret of the golden feather and find a way to stop the shadow."

They left the maze and returned to the depths of the palace. A new adventure was about to begin. They knew that this challenge would be more difficult than any previous one, but also full of unknown possibilities.

As Lily said, "No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we will face them together and find solutions. Because we are a team, nothing can defeat us."
