Chapter 286 Going Back, Chatting
Ji Xinghan was so focused on communicating with Madam Yingyue that he didn't even notice the chat channel.
She opened the chat channel and discovered that she had posted a series of survival gossip messages about half an hour earlier:
[Survival Gossip: Lady Yingyue turns evil at the Heart-Slaying Pavilion; the Heart-Slaying Virus will spread thousands of miles away in half an hour!]
In the chat channel, players were in a panic:
"A thousand miles away? My god, that's a huge area? This is going to be deadly!"
"Oh my god, how many people are there thousands of miles away? We're going to die! Run!"
"Where did they run to? The area is so wide, I don't know how many players have been caught in the trap, and even those who ran out were killed."
"Exactly! This virus greatly increases one's strength!"
The players were in a state of panic.
Du Ruoming: "Is it because of Ji Xinghan?"
Qi Xiangxiang: "Can't you be reasonable? What does this have to do with her?"
Du Ruoming: "Hehe, this whole thing happened because she went in!"
Jian Lin: "But everyone can think about it. Based on the experience of the Broken Heart Lake in the Forest of Disappointment, this Heart-Slaying Virus should have spread long ago, right?"
[Survival Gossip: Lady Yingyue's descent into darkness has slowed; in half an hour, the virus will spread over a hundred miles away!]
Qi Xiangxiang: "It's Ji Xinghan! Ji Xinghan has made a move!"
Chu Feifei: "It's true, the spread has slowed down so much all of a sudden."
Jian Lin: "Qi Xiangxiang, Du Ruoming, what do you have to say?"
[Survival Gossip: Lady Yingyue's descent into darkness has slowed; in half an hour, the virus will spread to a distance of fifty miles!]
[Survival Gossip: Lady Yingyue's descent into darkness has slowed; in half an hour, the virus will spread to a distance of twenty miles!]
The players finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was only 20 miles. Thankfully, they could manage if they ran fast.
Despite this, some people still fell victim to the virus.
Two or three players who were guarding the vicinity initially had issues, but this number later increased to seven or eight.
They had to tie those people up and imprison them.
It took a lot of effort to do these things.
Ji Xinghan kept an eye on the chat channel while chatting with everyone.
Five minutes later:
[Survival Gossip: Lady Yingyue is gradually regaining consciousness, and the virus concentration near Luxin Pavilion is decreasing!]
At this moment, Madam Yingyue opened her eyes. She saw Ji Xinghan, paused for a moment, then looked up at the gloomy sky and frowned: "Why is it so dark here?"
She glanced around again, her brows furrowing even deeper: "This place is all bare, who would like it?"
Taking the opportunity, Ji Xinghan said, "Do you want to go back to the Valley of Heartbreak? Don't worry, I've cleaned up the courtyard; there's no unpleasant smell."
Lady Yingyue nodded: "Alright!"
With a wave of her hand, Ji Xinghan felt dizzy and swayed. When he opened his eyes again, he found that they had returned to the courtyard in the Valley of Heartbreak.
Lady Yingyue stretched and yawned: "It's so much more comfortable here!"
She took a deep breath, even more satisfied: "Finally, there's no more unpleasant smell."
She turned around: "You're quite good. Tell me, what's your purpose?"
Ji Xinghan smiled slightly: "It's nothing. I just thought that only you, Madam, like to listen to me play the suona, so you are my kindred spirit. That's why I tidied up the courtyard."
Lady Yingyue sat in the chair: "Then will you play another tune for me?"
Ji Xinghan: "With pleasure!"
She took the opportunity to send a message to Jiang Youyou: "Make some bamboo shoot and pork stew, I need it!"
Jiang Youyou immediately agreed.
At that moment, the setting sun painted the sky outside the courtyard with its glow, and Ji Xinghan stood in the campus and played a tune.
It was still simple and unfamiliar, with occasional wrong notes, which she deliberately played in a mess.
Sure enough, this suited Lady Yingyue's taste perfectly.
Ji Xinghan really went all out, blowing on the air for a full half hour. Only when her cheeks were tired did Madam Yingyue finally raise her hand: "Alright, thank you. I need to rest today, you..."
Ji Xinghan hadn't achieved his goal yet, so how could he leave? He quickly said, "I've had bamboo shoots stewed with pork prepared. Madam, would you like to have dinner with me?"
Wangzai and Dingdang brought in two white puppies, both of which were barking incessantly.
Madam Yingyue smiled and patted the puppy's head: "You like them? Okay, then let them keep you company for a while longer."
Ji Xinghan was relieved and finally decided to stay.
She was very anxious, not knowing how to increase Lady Yingyue's favorability. To help Lady Yingyue and her first love reconcile, she needed to know their story, but such a private matter required a higher favorability rating.
She can only try little by little.
During his break, Ji Xinghan privately messaged Niu Ma: "Sigh, nothing to do!"
Niu Ma: "Madam, you usually spend all your time making medicine. It would be quite boring if you didn't make medicine."
Ji Xinghan was disappointed. She had hoped to learn about the lady's preferences from Niu Ma, but it turned out that the lady only liked making medicine.
Niu Ma: "Madam, do you still enjoy playing Gomoku? You always beat me. It's been a while since I played, and I really want to see if I've improved."
Ji Xinghan pondered the meaning of "ox and horse".
The lady likes to play Gomoku (Five in a Row), and she has to win?
arrange!
Gomoku is child's play, isn't it?
She glanced at it and noticed a piece of white paper on the table. She flipped it open and found it was a Go board game, drawn randomly.
There were a few pebbles nearby.
She suddenly realized that it was probably Long Si and Long Shisan who had been playing Gomoku with the lady earlier!
Seeing Ji Xinghan open the Go board, the lady's eyes lit up: "Do you know how to play Go?"
Ji Xinghan's eyes darted around, and he feigned arrogance: "Yes, of course I can! I'm very good at Gomoku, I've never met a match!"
Lady Yingyue became interested: "Really? I don't know how good I am at chess, but in all the games I've played, I've only ever lost to one person!"
Ji Xinghan immediately laid out the papers, looking smug: "Then you might lose this time!"
The two of them started immediately.
Three minutes later, Ji Xinghan's forehead was almost covered in sweat.
It's not that Lady Yingyue is difficult to deal with, it's just that... it's too hard to lose!
It's just Gomoku!
She didn't know how Lady Yingyue could do something so clumsy, even something as simple as this!
She has to put in a lot of effort and put on a show to lose.
For example, right now she has a bitter and resentful look on her face, her brows are furrowed, and she keeps muttering, "Oh no, this won't do, ah, I'm clearly very strong, so annoying, so annoying, I lost again!"
After playing five or six rounds in a row, Ji Xinghan was exhausted from her performance.
So she gave up, stopped performing, and looked completely defeated.
Lady Yingyue's interest grew, and she said with a smile, "So I'm this good? Actually, I haven't played for many years. I didn't expect to win so many games in a row these past two days. Humph, when I see him again this time, let's see if he still dares to call me an idiot!"
Ji Xinghan immediately became agitated, feigning anger: "Who is it? Who dares to be so bold?"
Lady Yingyue's beaming face suddenly froze. She threw down the chess piece, her interest waning. "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. No matter how well I play, I can't beat him because... he's gone, and he never wants to see me again!"
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed; sure enough, they had found the right person to talk to.
So, as she tidied up the chess pieces, she casually asked, "Perhaps he doesn't not want to see you, but rather thinks you don't like him?"
Lady Yingyue was taken aback: "I don't like him? I've made it so obvious, can't he see it? Is he that stupid?"
She suddenly froze, muttering, "Isn't he stupid?"
Ji Xinghan clenched his fist, hoping that Madam Yingyue would provide more information.
Hurry up and dig out that first love.
She was extremely anxious!
Lady Yingyue suddenly sighed, "Never mind, let's not talk anymore!"
Ji Xinghan became even more anxious. How could they not talk? They had to talk; she was determined to get that person out of their sight!
