Chapter 597: The B&B is busy with the game
As night falls, the tatami in the Japanese-style guesthouse exudes a faint aroma of straw mats.
Under the dim light, five people sat around a low square table, and the atmosphere was subtle.
Lin Qiye took a sip of sake, his eyes moving between Yuhui Qinggong and Xing Taixiang.
Finally, it fell on the latter: "So, Qing Gong means that when we enter the ruins the day after tomorrow, we will have three chances to predict the future?"
Xing Taixiang nodded and held up three fingers. "Including today, that's three times in total. Miss Harumiya's plan is indeed very thorough."
Yuhui Qinggong smiled slightly and added, "If we take into account the possibility of... pulling out [Wu Ji'er], we can have up to six prediction opportunities."
"Six times?!"
Xing Taixiang suddenly looked up, opened his mouth, and seemed to have thought of something. His eyes swept back and forth between Lin Qiye and Wu Hen.
"Wait, I remember... only Yuzhe Li Kuro's son possesses the royal blood and can draw out [Wu Ji Er], right?"
Xing Taixiang looked at Lin Qiye doubtfully, then looked at Wu Hen, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
"Who told you that we are the sons of Yuzhe Lihei?" Wu Hen asked with a smile, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
As he spoke, he took out a lollipop from his pocket, tore open the wrapper,
He took a bite, making a crisp sound.
Lin Qiye looked indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Xing Taixiang was stunned, then suddenly realized, "
He took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.
He continued, "However, obtaining the prophecy is not that easy. You must defeat the sword spirit of Huojin Sword in the game, that is, this..."
He pointed at the fox girl sitting opposite him, "Otherwise, there will be punishment."
The fox girl, Wu Ji'er of Huojindao, was lazily leaning against the table.
A pair of charming fox eyes narrowed slightly, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
She gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and the scarlet wine shone with an alluring luster under the light, as if silently tempting everyone present.
Xing Taixiang heard this and suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his gaze to the fox girl.
His eyes flickered, a suspicious blush appeared on his cheeks, and his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, and his body trembled slightly, appearing extremely excited.
"I...I..." Xing Taixiang hesitated and his eyes wandered over the fox girl, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Finally, he slumped down on the table like a deflated ball, letting out a low growl of frustration.
He buried his head in his arms, and his expression could not be seen. All that could be seen was his slightly trembling shoulders and his constantly rising and falling back.
The fox girl looked at Xing Taixiang and saw his appearance, and the smile on her lips became even wider.
She gently put down the wine glass in her hand, making a crisp "ding" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent room.
Xing Taixiang's body stiffened slightly when he heard the voice. He slowly raised his head.
He stole a glance at the fox girl and saw that she was looking at him with a half-smile.
He quickly lowered his head again and stammered, "I...I have no objection."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head as if to escape and looked out the window, not daring to look at the fox girl again.
Outside the window, the night was dark, with only a few stars twinkling, as if mocking his embarrassment.
"In that case..." Yuhui Qinggong said.
She waved gently.
Yuhui Qinggong raised her hands lightly, and an invisible barrier quietly opened.
The space around the low table is covered to prevent the game from affecting innocent B&Bs.
She turned to look at Xing Taixiang and signaled him to start.
Xing Taixiang took a deep breath, as if to expel all the hesitation and uncertainty in his chest.
He slowly walked to the low table, his eyes darting back and forth between the fox girl and the dice cup in his hand.
Finally, he clenched his teeth, as if he had made some kind of decision, and his eyes became firm and resolute.
"I... I'm ready!" Xing Taixiang's voice was a little trembling, but his tone was extremely firm.
He held the dice cup tightly in his hand, as if it was not cold porcelain, but all his hope.
The fox girl chuckled softly, her eyes were as charming as silk, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.
Tactfully and sweetly: "Then, let's compare our sizes."
"Six dice, three per person, held captive by a teacup. Whoever has the highest sum of the dice wins. Simple and straightforward, no cheating."
She casually picked up three white porcelain teacups on the table and divided the six dice into two.
Put them in two teacups respectively, and then push them in front of Xing Taixiang.
Xing Taixiang looked at the dice cup in front of him, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He could feel that the air around him seemed to have solidified.
An invisible pressure enveloped him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He knew that this was not just a simple game, but also a gamble with fate.
"Let's start." The fox girl said lightly, as if it was just a trivial game.
Xing Taixiang swallowed his saliva, picked up the dice cup with trembling hands, and began to shake it vigorously.
The dice collided in the teacup, making a "clattering" sound, like the beating of war drums, echoing in the silent room.
His movements became faster and more violent, as if he wanted to pour all his strength into this small dice cup.
"Stop!" The fox girl suddenly spoke, her voice as clear as a silver bell.
Xing Taixiang suddenly stopped and held the dice cup tightly with both hands, not daring to let go.
His heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
He could feel that his palms were soaked, and the sticky sweat made it almost impossible for him to hold the dice cup.
"Open it." The fox girl's voice sounded again, with a hint of amusement.
Xing Taixiang took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and as if using up all his strength, suddenly opened the dice cup.
"Nine o'clock..." Xing Taixiang's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of loss that was difficult to conceal.
He looked at the three dice in the dice cup, which were "two", "three" and "four", adding up to only nine.
The fox girl also opened her dice cup at the same time, and the three dice showed "four", "five" and "six", which added up to a total of fifteen points.
"Oh, it looks like Shota-kun lost."
The fox girl covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, with a hint of teasing in her voice, "As for the punishment... we'll talk about it later. Now, it's the next person's turn."
Xing Taixiang's face instantly fell, and he walked aside dejectedly.
He handed Wu Ji'er to Lin Qiye and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Qiye Jun... I'm counting on you. You must win!"
Lin Qiye took over [Wu Jier], it felt cold to the touch, and the blade emitted a faint chill.
He gently stroked the hilt of the knife, feeling the powerful force contained within it.
He took a deep breath and slowly unsheathed [Wu Ji'er].
"Chong-"
A crisp sound of a knife was heard, and the blade flashed dazzlingly under the light, like a silver lightning, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.
The fox girl turned her head and looked at Lin Qiye, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
He gave a meaningful smile: "Lin Qiye...right? I wasn't wrong."
Lin Qiye was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the fox girl actually knew his name.
A trace of doubt arose in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
He knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things, the most important thing was to win the game.
"I'm ready." Lin Qiye said lightly, his tone calm and firm.
"You'd definitely cheat if we were to compare sizes. After all... you're the owner of the 'eyes'."
The fox girl's voice became a little cunning. She stretched out her delicate hand and pointed at her eyes.
"So, let's have a competition... arm wrestling."
Lin Qiye's heart trembled as he realized that this fox girl was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Not only does she know her name, she also knows her abilities.
The two walked to the low table and sat opposite each other.
Lin Qiye stretched out his right hand, and the fox girl also stretched out her right hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.
"Miss Qinggong, Lady Xing, please step back a little." Lin Qiye said.
Upon hearing this, Yuhui Qinggong and Xing Taixiang quickly stepped back, leaving space for Lin Qiye and the fox girl.
The atmosphere in the room became tense again.
The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Qiye and the fox girl, waiting for the start of this power showdown.
"Start!" Lin Qiye shouted softly, and all the strength in his body burst out instantly.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, the low table was instantly shattered into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere.
Lin Qiye and the fox girl held hands in mid-air, and the two powerful forces collided with each other, erupting into an astonishing wave of air.
Cracks began to appear on the tatami in the room, and the walls began to shake, as if they would collapse at any time.
Sawdust was flying in the air and a hurricane was raging in the room, making a whooshing sound like ghosts and wolves howling.
Xing Taixiang opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene in shock.
He had never imagined that arm wrestling could unleash such terrifying power.
"Is this...is this still arm wrestling?"
He muttered, his voice trembling.
