Chapter 1746 - 1746 You Haven’t Tried
When one was immersed in a matter, time always passed especially quickly.
During this period of time, Chu Liuyue had always been very busy running from Godly Phoenix Mountain to the God-Killing Tumulus.
The two of them almost didn’t have any alone time, and it was hard for them to even talk properly. Now, they finally had the time to sit down and rest; they could even play chess and talk.
The key was that nobody disturbed them, and they weren’t worried that their lives would be in danger.
Chu Liuyue felt very relaxed.
His Grace also felt very pleased.
“I won!” Chu Liuyue’s eyes lit up, and they were filled with unconcealable elation.
Rong Xiu smiled as well and had a hint of nonchalance and laziness. “Yue’er, you seemed to have improved.”
Chu Liuyue raised her brows. “Of course.”
Rong Xiu smiled and shook his head. “I’m saying that after you came out of the God-Killing Tumulus, your improvement… seems especially obvious.”
When she plays chess now, her playing style is different from before. She seems… to understand it better.
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment and considered it seriously. “I think there is a little…”
In the beginning, she hadn’t thought so. Now that Rong Xiu said it, she then realized that when she played chess with him, her thoughts seemed to be clearer, and her reaction was faster. It was like… she faintly and naturally knew how to make a move already.
Suddenly, Chu Liuyue was stunned. Could it be because… I read thousands of music scores at the God-Killing Tumulus?
After overcoming the music scores one by one with much difficulty, she felt much more relaxed when she saw these things.
Rong Xiu smiled and looked at her. “I lost. Princess Consort, do you have any rewards?”
Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and glanced at him from the side. “Your Highness, can you be less thick-skinned? It’s fine if you beat me. Now that you lost, you still want a reward?”
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and readily followed good advice. “There are no rewards, but there should be comfort, right?”
Chu Liuyue: “…No.”
As she spoke, she waved her palm, and the chess pieces on the chessboard disappeared in unison.
“Again.” Now, she desperately wanted to verify her guess.
However, Rong Xiu didn’t want to continue. The corner of his lips curled up, and he said, “I’m very tired. I can’t continue.”
Chu Liuyue was speechless. How long has it been? He actually said he’s tired and that he can’t continue? Even though this method of playing chess indeed exhausts one’s force and energy, there is no trustability when it comes from Rong Xiu’s mouth. He is clearly asking for ‘comfort!’
After a moment, she laughed as well. “I can’t believe that after a few years, His Highness’s stamina actually dropped to—”
Once she said this, Chu Liuyue felt that the surrounding temperature had suddenly turned cold.
Rong Xiu raised his brows and abruptly stood up; then, he walked over.
Once he stepped out, the chessboard between the two of them disappeared like water ripples as it formed sparks and flew away.
The distance between the two of them was originally short. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue was sitting down, and he was standing up with a very suppressive feeling. Then, he lowered his body.
The demonically handsome face suddenly closed in, and a warm aura landed on her face.
Chu Liuyue’s heart suddenly tightened. At this moment, she sharply detected a sense of danger.
“Yue’er.” Rong Xiu was very close to her. When he spoke, their breaths intertwined.
He seemed to be smiling, and his voice was especially low and seductive.
He reached out his hand, squeezed her chin, and didn’t let her escape. His slightly rough fingers then gently caressed her red and soft lips.
His breathing suddenly became heavier.
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat.
Rong Xiu leaned in even more closely. He leaned to the side slightly, went close to her soft and slightly translucent earlobe, and softly said, “You haven’t tried. How do you know?”
Half of Chu Liuyue’s body turned numb.
Rong Xiu watched her white and petite ears quickly flush red in satisfaction!
This red hue quickly extended to her thin neck.
Her hair was like a waterfall with it down, and it caused her skin to be even more intricate.
With this speck of red, it seemed to have added a fire in Rong Xiu’s heart.
He suddenly bit her soft earlobes.
Chu Liuyue was shocked and instinctively shrunk her neck as soft sounds came from her throat.
Sweet and soft.
It was so addictive that his entire body turned red.
His syllables were blurred, yet every word hit her heart.
“Since Yue’er is unwilling to give it to me, I’ll take it myself.”
…
The barrier outside Seven Lotus Peak was guarded strictly.
A guard couldn’t help but turn around to take a look.
Quiet and cold. Other than the cave being burned by Rong Xiu on the first day, there were no other movements.
“It has already been a few days, but why don’t they have any reaction at all? The clan leader’s side has already asked twice specifically.”
Another guard turned around to look and knitted his brows. “Exactly. This isn’t any other place—this is Seven Lotus Peak! Even when the clansmen are locked up in there, they can only stay for a maximum of three days, let alone these two humans…”
Ever since Rong Xiu and Shangguan Yue were locked up here, they had been tense and didn’t dare to let their guard down, preparing for them to come out and surrender with hung heads at any time.
According to their past experience, it wouldn’t drag for too long. However, who knew that everything was still normal after so many days?
“I don’t think so… Could it be that the two of them have already fainted inside, so—”
“Impossible. If that’s really the case, they would directly be sent out, and it wouldn’t be like this… There is no noise at all.”
The two of them fell silent.
Judging from the current situation, they could only continue waiting.
“…I think half of the people in the holy hall have been eliminated.” A guard changed the topic.
The other one disregarded it. “Isn’t it normal? There are only a few capable ones. To those people, the Thousand Summit is a good chance to excel. However, most other people are just accompanying them on the run.”
The competition in the clan was intense, and such a matter was very normal.
“True.” The other guard acknowledged it and didn’t speak further.
…
Outside Godly Dragon Island.
On some deserted peak, Tuan Zi gazed at Nan Suhuai, blinked, and couldn’t conceal her excitement. “Director Grandpa, will this plan really work?”
