Li Xiang was stunned when he heard this. He looked directly at Chen Chen with a pair of red phoenix eyes, with hesitation and caution in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Chen stopped his smile and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything too extreme, such as making you cough!
However, what I ask you to do will never be easy, otherwise you wouldn't have that sense of frustration. "
"What if you lost?" Li Xiang asked.
"If I lose, I will play with you until you surpass Chu Yun, and I will never play chess with Chu Yun again." Chen Chen said resolutely.
Li Xiang was still a little hesitant after hearing this.
When Chen Chen saw this, he spread his hands and his expression became cold.
"If you can't make up your mind, forget it. I'm living a good life in Li Xianzong, and I don't need you to do anything for me. You can go back, I still want to practice."
Seeing the contempt hidden in Chen Chen's eyes, Li Xiang's expression changed again and again.
At this moment, she seemed to be hearing Chen Chen say, "You are not as good as Chu Yun. What others are willing to sacrifice is chastity, but you are not willing to do anything, so you deserve to be surpassed by others!"
Seeing that Chen Chen was about to turn around, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind and she blurted out: "You and I will play this game!"
Hearing this, Chen Chen calmly began to swear an oath, no matter how vicious he was, saying that if he violated his oath, his body would die and his soul would disappear, and he would not be reincarnated.
After hearing this, Li Xiang naturally had to follow suit and swear an oath.
It was very simple for Chen Chen to make her swear an oath. If she violated the oath, her cultivation would stagnate in this life and she would never be able to surpass Chu Yun.
After making the oath, Li Xiang's face had turned pale before he started playing this "chess", as if he had been hit hard.
She had never experienced this feeling several times in her life.
"Let's keep this game of chess simple and let nature take its course, so as not to accuse me of bullying you."
Chen Chen took out a pair of "chess" and placed them on the table completely disordered. These "chess" were all face up and made of materials that could shield spiritual consciousness. It was impossible to see what cards they were on.
"Let's do this, you and I pick a piece at random, and whoever has the bigger piece wins."
Looking at the "chess" on the table, Chen Chen said with a smile.
In fact, this way of playing chess can no longer be called chess, but real gambling, which is no different from ordinary people throwing dice and betting big and small.
A kind of "chess" is called chess if it depends entirely on skill, but it is called gambling if it depends entirely on luck.
In the past, there were more or less elements of chess in the games of "running fast" and "fighting the clan leader", but now they are completely gone.
But Chen Chen has no choice. In order to win, he must do whatever it takes.
As for Li Xiang, she didn't realize there was something fishy about it. Not to mention that she didn't understand that there is such a thing as dice among mortals. Even if she did, who would connect the playthings played by ordinary people with the Tiandao chess that can make people realize their enlightenment
Seeing beads of sweat forming on her forehead, Li Xiang disrupted the "chess" on the table again without thinking, and then carefully pulled out a piece. At this moment, she was extremely nervous.
If you lose, you must obey Chen Chen's orders! Who knows what orders this man would give
Chen Chen saw her draw one and secretly asked the system in his heart.
"System, is there a bigger card than her within a radius of 0.5 meters?"
"Yes, twenty centimeters to the host's left hand side, fifteen centimeters to the front of the right hand..."
The system gave four answers at once, and Chen Chen picked one at random.
Before Li Xiang could look at it first, he turned over the card and it was a four.
Seeing this picture, Chen Chen said bitterly: "It seems that God is not on my side today."
Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and the tension on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was just a four. As long as she didn't draw two or three, she could win. But after all, the stakes were so high that she couldn't open it directly like Chen Chen.
After pausing for a moment, she carefully looked at a corner of the card.
At this sight, her whole body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and she shivered. Chen Chen couldn't hold it in anymore, and the corners of his mouth turned up, but he soon turned it into a forced smile.
"If you beat me, you don't have to be so excited."
Li Xiang slowly raised his head when he heard this, his face was white and his eyes were extremely blank.
Chen Chen was sitting opposite her and could even faintly hear her heartbeat.
"I...I am three."
After a long time, Li Xiang uttered such a sentence with great difficulty.
Chen Chen's expression changed when he heard this, and with a thought, the card in Li Xiang's hand was turned over, and it was a three.
Regarding this, he did not show any ecstasy, but simply said: "I didn't expect that I could win this. Before the sect leader comes out of seclusion, you have to listen to me. How about it? How do you feel now?"
"It's very uncomfortable... I feel empty inside, as if I have lost my soul."
"It's okay to feel uncomfortable. If you don't break it, you won't build it. The way you feel now is the way your group of junior sisters felt when they lost all the best spiritual stones two days ago."
Chen Chen said happily, just congratulating him directly.
Li Xiang showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said softly: "Chen Chen, what do you want me to do?"
When Chen Chen heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, as if he was thinking about Li Xiang.
"Well, I certainly can't let you suffer too much loss, nor can I let you take risks, nor can I let you harm others."
Li Xiang's face gradually became better. Now it seems that Chen Chen is quite a good person.
"Otherwise, just call me daddy."
As soon as Chen Chen finished speaking, Li Xiang felt a burst of anger rushing to his forehead, almost fainting on the spot.
Just when she subconsciously wanted to take action, Chen Chen shook the four pieces with a half-smile and said: "To be honest, if you call me daddy, I won't get any benefits at all, but it will give you a huge benefit." of blow.
Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to. Just pretend that nothing happened today and I won’t argue with you. As for the oath, you can treat it as a joke. "
After saying that, a look of contempt flashed in Chen Chen's eyes, as if I'm doing you a favor and you still don't appreciate it.
Li Xiang's face was horribly pale.
Chen Shenwei asked her to take out the spiritual stone and magic weapon, but he just asked her to call daddy in this deserted place.
This is indeed of no substantial benefit to Chen Chen, and it seems that it is really for her own good.
Moreover, there is no way to break an oath casually. If it is broken, even if it will not come true, when you break through a big realm in the future, you will keep thinking about it in your mind, and it will eventually become a knot in your heart.
As soon as she thought about this, she gritted her teeth and said vaguely: "Dad..."
Chen Chen suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
"father!"
Li Xiang shouted and was completely exhausted, as if he had experienced a battle, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
She was adopted by her master as a child and has never met her biological parents. This is the first time in her life that she calls someone such a name!
"good!"
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that Li Xiang was in a daze, he added: "It's this kind of frustration that can make people break down and stand up again, but now the fire is not even close.
How about this? From now on, you will bring me food every day at noon, and call me daddy by the way. Isn't this too much? "
When Li Xiang heard this, he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
…
Wait until noon the next day.
Li Xiang walked into Chen Chen's room with a pale face, carefully took out several plates of food and placed them in front of Chen Chen.
Yesterday's night was definitely the longest and most painful night in her life.
But she knew that this kind of feeling could only be met but not sought. It might really allow her to break through, but as Chen Chen said, there was still a chance.
"Ahem!"
Chen Chen coughed twice.
Li Xiang shouted with shame: "Dad."
"Good boy, go ahead." Chen Chen waved his hand, and Li Xiang immediately left the room as if he was running away.
As soon as Li Xiang left, a female cultivator suddenly walked out of the screen behind Chen Chen, her eyes full of disbelief.
The look on his face was as if he had seen the destruction of the world.
Chen Chen slowly picked up the food, took a bite, and then said calmly: "How is it? Junior sister Li, do you know how much Li Xiang paid for that glimmer of a breakthrough opportunity? She promised me that within ten years You all obey my orders, if you don’t want to, then go ahead, I won’t force you.”
The female cultivator's eyes gradually became firm when she heard this, and she said solemnly: "Seven years, seven years! I am willing!"
