Chapter 215: The Desire to Survive
Xiao Jingfan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows until they turned red before he said, "I forgive you, please stand up."
Damn woman, couldn't you have told him something as serious as this earlier? Why did you have to wait until now? If it were someone else...
[The tyrant, this cunning idiot, actually believed my words so easily and didn't even investigate me. It seems that the tyrant playing chess with the immortal in his dream was real!]
Chu Liuzheng felt that he didn't need to look up the answer in the system. Just looking at the tyrant's reaction, he already had the answer.
If she had the time, she could eat something else.
[Hey, I managed to get away with it. The tyrant is pretty easy to fool!]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He tilted his head to look at Chu Liuzheng, who was standing two steps away, and looked him up and down, his hands on the table ready to move.
"come over."
The words squeezed out from between teeth should not be too murderous.
Chu Liuzheng:!
[It's over, it's over, it's too early to celebrate. Will the tyrant find me suspicious and want to kill me?]
She was so nervous that she took small steps forward, her hands and feet trembling, and she had already repeated her last words three times in her mind.
As she was getting closer and closer to the emperor, she wanted to stop, but the emperor stared at her coldly and did not call for a stop.
Fearing she would die faster if she stopped, she kept walking until her toes touched the base of the couch and she could go no further.
The two were only a few feet apart, and Chu Liuzheng's fear of death made him look around aimlessly at the emperor's eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips.
Watching...
[Wow, Tyrant has such great skin, how does he maintain it?]
[Oh my, those thick eyelashes, long and curled, the pupils are so black, the eyes are so deep, even more alluring than the peach blossom eyes of the butterfly.]
[Wow, these lips are just the right thickness and have a healthy color. They don't look like someone who often stays up late at all. They look quite soft.]
[She has so much hair, and it's so black and shiny. Is this what they call satin hair? It must be very nice to touch.]
…
Driven by the fear of death, Chu Liuzheng was so nervous that his only instinct was to be obsessed with looks. Before his brain could react, he had already output a lot of praise in his mind.
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He coughed dryly twice, originally wanting to hit the woman a few times to vent his anger, but after a wave of praise, he changed his tone and asked, "What reward do you want?"
"Ah?" Chu Liuzheng opened his mouth stupidly. Is this what it feels like to ascend from hell to heaven?
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows, his voice filled with a hint of laughter: "Don't you want a reward?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Liuzheng nodded quickly, but only then did he realize that his behavior was indecent, so he bowed quickly.
However, she was too close to the couch and her knee suddenly hit the edge of it. The pain made her lose her balance and she fell towards the emperor on the couch.
【Ah ...
Seeing himself getting closer and closer to the emperor's handsome face, Chu Liuzheng turned into a screaming chicken, shocking Xiao Jingfan so much that he forgot to dodge.
Ahh ...
Driven by the desire to survive, her adrenaline surged, and Chu Liuzheng used a speed that she could never normally display. She supported herself on the small table with her right hand, and on Xiao Jingfan's legs with her left hand, and tilted her head to the right.
At the critical moment, he perfectly avoided the emperor's head, stabilized his body, and kissed the air accurately.
She didn't even bother to look at the emperor's expression. She took three steps back like a catapult and almost hit the vase.
She knelt firmly on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
[I, I, I, I tried my best to save myself. Please, I really didn't mean to do this. Tyrant, please don't kill me!]
Xiao Jingfan stared at the person who had just jumped away like a grasshopper, and there was still a faint scent of jasmine lingering in his nose.
He moved his fingertips slightly, raised his hand and brushed it across his legs without making a sound.
Chu Liuzheng touched the ground with her forehead, and could feel the emperor's real gaze on her, which she spontaneously understood as a desire to skin her alive and cut her into pieces.
[Woo woo woo, my life is over! ]
[If I had known I wouldn't have come today, where is the medicine to regret it? I'll pay a huge price to buy it! ]
Just when Chu Liuzheng felt that he couldn't walk out of the Yangxin Palace upright today, a deep voice came from the front: "Get up."
Chu Liuzheng paused in his wailing voice and looked up at the emperor. Are you really not going to bother with her?
"What reward do you want?" Xiao Jingfan rested his elbows on his knees and supported his chin as he looked at her.
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[Holy shit! Did I hear that correctly? The tyrant was talking about rewards, not death?]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Chu Liuzheng didn't bother to guess the emperor's thoughts and said hurriedly, "Serving Your Majesty with loyalty is my duty. I shouldn't ask for a reward, but Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent. I can't let your kindness go to waste, so I will shamelessly ask for a reward."
She bowed again and said, "I do not wish to go to Xixia. I beg Your Majesty for protection."
"I understand." Xiao Jingfan said, "Get up."
Does this mean you agree?
Chu Liuzheng stood up nervously, unable to verify anything with the emperor. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the emperor ask, "Can you play chess?"
Chu Liuzheng:?
She shook her head honestly: "No."
Xiao Jingfan gestured towards the seat opposite him: "Come over and play a game with me."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
【What I just said is not true, right? 】
Suspecting that the emperor had misheard, she took a long detour and did not pass by where the emperor was sitting, for fear that the previous accident would happen again.
Xiao Jingfan placed the chessboard and two jars of jade chess pieces under the small table and played black first.
Chu Liuzheng played with white pieces, but she had never played Go in her two lifetimes combined, so she could only make random moves.
She was nervous and scared, and had no idea what the emperor was trying to do.
There is no point in killing people. Stop torturing her!
Xiao Jingfan was leisurely placing the chess pieces, his eyes occasionally sweeping across Chu Liuzheng's face with a hint of inquiry.
Chu Liuzheng behaved very well from beginning to end, staring at the three acres of land in front of him without glancing at the opposite side at all.
[I'm just messing around, how come I haven't lost yet? ]
Chu Liuzheng stared at the black and white chess pieces in front of him, unable to tell who was winning or losing.
Xiao Jingfan placed the last black chess piece, "You lose."
【Ah, I finally lost. 】
Chu Liuzheng let out a long sigh and said with his eyes downcast, "I don't know how to play chess, and I've disturbed your Majesty's enjoyment. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness."
[Hurry up and get me out! I’m scared to death! ]
Xiao Jingfan glanced at her, picked up the black piece on the chessboard and said, "Let's play another game."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
She just watched the pair of large hands with distinct joints going in and out of her field of vision, and she almost saw double.
She bit the soft flesh inside her lip to force herself to calm down, reached out to pick up the white piece on the chessboard, and tried hard not to make any contact with the big hand.
[Hmm~ What's going on? Do you feel good bullying a chess novice? ]
Chu Liuzheng played chess game after game, and lost game after game.
Of course, she couldn't tell what winning and losing were, so she just did it in a confused manner and casually arranged it.
She is definitely not good at playing chess, but she can still arrange the patterns neatly.
Come with an ×, come with a √, come with a circle, come with a...
Xiao Jingfan's eyebrows twitched.
Well, let’s play it right under his nose.
He casually placed the black piece on the board, "You lose."
Chu Liuzheng withdrew his hand regretfully as he was only one chess piece away from forming a concentric circle.
[I'm just randomly killing someone with obsessive compulsive disorder. Luckily, I don't have it.]
