Chapter 200 Just Treat It as a Game
After confirming that the Ice Saint had closed her eyes again and fell into silence, Xia Yue grabbed Li Muhan's arm and took him to the other side of the stage.
"Like I told you before, you have to forget all your fighting methods here, whether it's demonic power or the realm. Just like what happened just now, if you don't follow the rules here, the difficulty will increase exponentially."
"But....."
Li Muhan scratched his head. It was not that he could not understand Xia Yue's words, but who could be like Zhang Wuji and immediately forget all fighting methods in order to learn Tai Chi?
Just now, he tried very hard to learn to imitate Xia Yue's dance steps, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Perhaps after opening the realm, his senses and reaction speed would be able to keep up.
But it is indeed very difficult given my current physical condition.
"I understand that this isn't an easy task. She and I were trapped here for three months before we finally passed this trial."
When Xia Yue said this, she seemed to be recalling something from the past.
Li Muhan immediately grasped the key point of this sentence.
"Actually, I've been wanting to ask this since the beginning. Have you been here before? With someone?"
Xia Yue nodded, she didn't intend to hide it.
"Well... this... is the space my mother created."
Li Muhan had already guessed this, but there was another problem.
"...Who did you participate in the trial with?"
He was a little nervous when he said this. At first he didn't know what he was afraid of. He wanted to hear the answer, but he was also afraid to hear Xia Yue say the name of a man he didn't know.
Although Xia Yue has lived for many years, according to Li Muhan's observation, he probably has no experience in love.
but......
What if?
"And that idiot, Charlene."
call--
Li Muhan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and it was at this moment that he truly understood what he was afraid of.
Seeing Li Muhan's reaction, Xia Yue seemed to understand something. She clasped her arms across her chest and looked at Li Muhan with a slightly provocative smile.
"Jealous?"
"......No."
"You also know that this feeling is not pleasant? Do you know how many times you have made me experience this feeling before?"
“…???”
"That stupid wolf doesn't need to be mentioned. She's a wild beast that loves to go into heat. You even didn't let go of Nightmare and those weirdos from Fusang. What on earth are you..."
At this point, Xia Yue suddenly shut up. Originally, she just wanted to tease Li Muhan and let him experience that uneasy feeling.
However, as the words came out, her emotions became more and more excited, as if there was an invisible force pushing her.
Now I really want to punch this man in the face...
"I'm sorry, I know how it feels. I'll be more careful next time."
But she never expected that Li Muhan, who was always as quiet as a log, would carefully touch Xia Yue's head this time, and then whisper to her in a very gentle voice.
"Just so you know... humph."
Xia Yue was a little overwhelmed by his actions. She turned her head away, feeling mixed emotions.
But she did not reject Li Muhan's touch, and the familiar and warm hands still stayed on her hair.
"So, you and Charlene also fought here like you did just now. Are you... that close?"
Li Muhan brought the topic back to the present.
He really couldn't imagine the scene of Xia Yue and her sister, or her elder sister, fighting in coordination with each other like two dancers.
"Which sisters are enemies from birth... Although I was wrong about that incident, Charlotte was spoiled by her mother. She looked down on humans and other alien species. Although she wouldn't hurt anyone, her disregard for life has led to several disasters. But no matter what, she was still a pretty cute sister at the time."
When talking about Xia Luer, Xia Yue's tone obviously changed slightly.
Although she tried her best to show that she did not care about this sister, the hint of tenderness that was inadvertently revealed between the lines of her words still made Li Muhan feel that their relationship was not irreconcilable from the beginning.
Maybe one day in the future, he could create an opportunity for these two dishonest vampires to sit down and have a good chat.
Just like he did to Thanatos and Hypnos before.
"What are you thinking about..."
"No, nothing. Go on and tell me how you passed the trial."
"It's not that difficult, actually. The main thing is... following the rules. You like playing games, so you should understand that games all have rules. For example, that game you often play... King of Farmers..."
"Fuck you, you're the one playing the farmer, but I roughly understand what you're saying. If you understand the rules, then this is a game."
Xia Yue nodded vigorously, and a gleam of light flashed in her bright and clear eyes.
"Forget this is a battle, Li Muhan, treat it as a game."
"But... I have no dance skills at all, and I tried really hard to follow you just now, but I can't seem to do many of the moves as smoothly as you can."
Li Muhan scratched his head. He saw Xia Yue's fight very clearly. Following the rhythm of the dance music was the rule of the game. As for counterattack, it must be based on this.
Just like Li Muhan didn’t keep up, so the rhythm was disrupted, so the rules will also change according to your actions.
But now the problem is, Li Muhan can't dance at all.
"Well, of course you can't keep up, because that's a girl's dance."
Xia Yue slowly stretched out her hand towards him.
"We still have three days. I will guide you well. Your body has been infused with demonic power. Even if you can't activate the realm right now, your physical fitness and motor skills should already be considered top-tier human beings. Don't worry, I'm the best teacher."
Li Muhan was a little skeptical, but still slowly held Xia Yue's hand.
He may have confidence in other things, but he really has no idea about dancing.
"Don't worry, think of this as a game." Xia Yue gently guided Li Muhan to the center of the stage.
"I will teach you the boys' dance steps first, sir. I have only one request. While you are dancing, don't complain, don't make jokes, and don't make me laugh. Can you do that?"
"...Do I look like the Funny Man?"
"I'm asking you if you can do it."
"Even if I can't, if you ask me to do it, I must do it."
"Well, then... Act One, the Knight's March, rehearsal begins."
As the music started, the Ice Saint slowly opened her eyes, and the armored knights were also activated at the same time.
......
At the same time, in the courtroom, Qian Gongyue, who originally felt a divine power warming her body, now fell into great pain again.
“.......”
The broken wing on her back had begun to bleed, and the wound was getting worse as time went on.
"Did you do anything when you tore her wings?"
Lin Ze seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Qian Gongyue's condition. Even though her wings were torn, the Special Management Bureau's medical department had already carried out emergency treatment. Logically speaking, even if she would not recover, it should not have worsened.
There can only be one possibility in that long.
Nyarlathotep, who was stared at by Lin Ze, did not answer, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
