2879 I Would Risk My Life For You (1/2)

After that incident, they no longer despised the ordinary-looking woman onboard with them.

In fact, prior to the wizardry barrier that she set up, the crew already knew that the woman was talented because of the way she played chess! Apparently, she had brutally beaten Di Fuyi in the two games that they played.

Some of these fairy kids were also masters in chess, so they knew when someone was gifted. They originally wanted to learn the game from afar, but after they watched a few moves from the pair, they felt as though their heads somehow swelled, and their eyes were dizzy. Some of them even lost their balance once they moved their eyes away from the board. After trying to figure out the game several times, they did not dare to look at it anymore. Their gazes were only locked on their master, and the woman sat opposite him.

When Di Fuyi started playing the game, he did not seem to take it very seriously. However, after two moves, his face turned serious, and he seemed to think very carefully before every move. Nevertheless, he was still thoroughly defeated at the end.

Di Fuyi did not give up and wanted to play another game. Gu Xijiu agreed and even teased the man, \”If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself.\”

Di Fuyi nodded. \”Alright!\”

Therefore, the two of them got down to the second game. This time the game lasted even longer than before, but in the end, Di Fuyi was still defeated. The main difference was that he lost fewer chess pieces than in the previous game.

The man could not help but sigh. \”I have never lost a game of chess, and today, I actually lost two games.\”

To which Gu Xijiu replied, \”You have already exceeded my expectations!\”

She taught Fan Qianshi about this game before. At that time, she needed to repeat the rules five times before Fan Qianshi could even remember it. When they played their first game, he felt dizzy halfway through and needed assistance from Gu Xijiu to get rid of his headache. Nevertheless, the end result was as expected - Fan Qianshi lost terribly and even slept for two days straight right after the game.

Although Fan Qianshi's second attempt was better, the man could barely finish the game. He made plenty of careless mistakes and lost many unnecessary pieces. Overall, it was quite a miserable game for him.
