Outside the sleeping quarters.
As soon as Ming Beiya and the other person left the bedchamber, Nan Xiao frowned slightly, looking back at the room with concern, her thin, crimson lips pressed tightly together.
Compared to Ming Beiya beside him, he appeared exceptionally calm, trusting Mo Shisheng's decision and having complete confidence in her. After all, she was his Asheng, and no one understood Mo Shisheng better than him.
Aren't you worried?
Nan Xiao was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Um."
Ming Beiya nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Nan Xiao's deep eyes looked at Ming Beiya beside him, calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
Nan Xiao said calmly, "It can't be resolved in a short time. Why not play a game of chess? The last game hasn't ended yet."
Ming Beiya did not answer, but nodded slightly to Nan Xiao and then turned around and sat leisurely at the table.
Nan Xiao chuckled: "Someone, bring out the chessboard from last time when the game wasn't finished, and replicate the positions of the pieces in their original places."
The two men played a game of chess, black and white pieces in hand. The small chessboard was a battlefield, with traps hidden at every turn. The screams of pain from the women in the bedchamber could be heard from time to time, but they were ignored.

Mo Shisheng used his cultivation and supernatural abilities simultaneously to restrain Situ Xue on the bed, her limbs spread out and unable to move.
"Let me go! Mo Shisheng, what do you want to do!?"
Mo Shisheng lit the candles around the bed, heated the dagger in the outer flame of the candle, and removed it when she felt the temperature was right.
Mo Shisheng's expression was cold, and her series of movements were practiced, which should not have been seen on a three-year-old girl.
Mo Shisheng gripped Situ Xue's wrist tightly with his left hand, while holding the dagger upside down with his right. The tip of the dagger lightly grazed the surface of her skin, causing it to crack and blood to gush out from the fissure.
"You vile wretch! You lowly person! You'll die a horrible death!" Situ Xue cursed as she saw the cut on her wrist.
Mo Shisheng glanced at Situ Xue indifferently, did not respond, and turned back to continue with the business at hand.
Dissatisfied that the dagger tip only grazed the surface of the skin, Mo Shisheng held the dagger blade close to the wrist bone, penetrating deep into the blood vessels, cutting from the skin layer to the muscle layer, creating a groove. He held the wrist, tilted the dagger, and with a gentle flick of his hand, the blood vessel and artery burst, and blood gushed out like a water pump.
"Die! Die! Die! I will not let you go!" Situ Xue's eyes were like steel, staring intently at Mo Shisheng.
Mo Shisheng parted her lips slightly, her expression indifferent: "Noisy."
She walked to the table, picked up the tablecloth, and stuffed it into Situ Xue's mouth, inwardly disgusted by the mad hen on the bed.
The blood flowing from his wrist stained a patch of the mattress, leaving a vivid crimson flower on the sheet.
Mo Shisheng continued working on the wound, using the blade to penetrate deep into the muscle layer, and found the tendon tissue at the junction of the wrist bones.
Tendons enable human movement by driving bone movement through muscle contraction; these are known as hand tendons.
Mo Shisheng exerted force and thrust the dagger into the tendon tissue. He channeled his cultivation into the dagger, easily severing the tendon tissue. With the blade pointing upwards, he forcefully plucked the tendon in Situ Xue's hand, severing it completely. The pale bone could be clearly seen through the wound.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! You bastard! I hate you to the core! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
"..."
Mo Shisheng took out gauze and casually bandaged the wound, saying unhurriedly, "I'm tired. We'll take it slow. I won't let you die."
Mo Shisheng took the blood-stained dagger and heated it over the candle flame. The blood evaporated and boiled on the dagger, making a "sizzling" sound.
