Mo Qianqiu was suddenly stunned.
This person's greatest skill, perhaps, is speaking sweet nothings with a sincere expression. The most terrifying thing is that Mo Qianqiu is completely powerless to resist such heartfelt love words. He can only hide his slightly red face, cough, and point to the chessboard, saying, "I grant you permission to play chess with me."
Then, Mo Qianqiu lost thirty-six games in a row.
Mo Qianqiu: "..."
"My chess skills are extraordinary, and you are not human, so why can you play chess of my race, and play it so..." So well!
Mo Qianqiu couldn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Jin Li continued to fiddle with the chessboard, saying calmly, "I'm five thousand years older than you. When I was eight hundred years old, I came across a chess manual on Dragon Island. Now I think it might have been collected by my father. Since there's no one on Dragon Island, I often play chess by myself. I've gotten used to it."
Jin Li spoke calmly, but Mo Qianqiu felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but touch Jin Li's hand. The latter looked up at him in surprise. The beautiful Demon Lord raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Then I will show my mercy and from now on... I will play chess with you. How about that?"
Jin Li was stunned and did not answer.
Mo Qianqiu raised an eyebrow: "You don't have to thank me too much. I was just bored, so I was a little interested in playing with you..."
"No." Jin Li's resolute words stunned Mo Qianqiu. The handsome and noble demon lord lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Your chess is too bad. It's better to play with me than with you."
Mo Qianqiu: "...Get out of here!!!"
This time, Mo Qianqiu was so enraged that he returned directly to the Demonic Palace. It wasn't until half a year later that he returned to Dragon Island. Something had happened in the Demonic Palace, and Mo Qianqiu had been dealing with it for a long time before finally returning. This time, he directly broke into the barrier of Dragon Island and found Jin Li, who was digging a piece of green silk wood out of the soil.
Mo Qianqiu said in surprise: "There is a tomb here, why haven't I seen it before?"
Jin Li casually smashed the wood into pieces, and soon, small birds that had long lived on Dragon Island began to pick up the pieces of wood and build nests for themselves. They were born on Dragon Island and would eventually die there. Some were even earth-level monsters that had accompanied Jin Li for at least a hundred years, yet when they saw him, they still avoided him from a distance, never approaching him.
Mo Qianqiu watched this scene, calmly took Jin Li's hand, and said, "What kind of tomb is this? Why did you tear it down?"
Jin Li said: "It is originally a cenotaph, so it doesn't matter if it is demolished."
Mo Qianqiu asked in surprise, "Is he your friend? Which demon lord?"
Jin Li was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and placed a kiss on Mo Qianqiu's lips. After a gentle kiss, he shook his head and said, "Not really a friend. I thought he had been dead for over two thousand years, but I only recently learned that he was not dead, so I destroyed this cenotaph."
Hearing this, Mo Qianqiu felt a little uncomfortable.
Not friends.
It has been guarding someone's cenotaph for more than two thousand years.
With a light snort, Mo Qianqiu shook off Jin Li's hand and strode forward: "I'm going to the lake to practice."
Amidst the shimmering beauty of lake and mountains, a blue figure stood by the water, his sleeves rustling in the wind. Standing before an unnamed cenotaph, he calmly gazed upon the red-robed Demon Lord cultivating in the center of the lake. Gradually, his gaze softened.
Jin Li shook his head slightly, and an almost inaudible sigh was lost in the wind.
A few days later, Mo Qianqiu dragged Jin Li to play chess again. Jin Li didn't want to play against such a poor chess player... or rather, it wouldn't be a duel at all, but a one-sided massacre. Mo Qianqiu considered this seriously for a moment and said, "Let's make a bet. If you can beat me a thousand times, I'll promise you something. If I beat you once, you'll promise me something."
Jin Li: "...Qianqiu, did you say the wrong number?"
Mo Qianqiu asked without hesitation: "Really? Then get started quickly. It's impossible for you to win a thousand games against me."
Jin Li: “…”
Six months later, Jin Li finally won his thousandth game. Mo Qianqiu remained calm during the first hundred games. After all, while his chess skills weren't strong, he could easily defeat Qin Guihe, though he was slightly behind Luo Jianqing. But in the last hundred games, Mo Qianqiu started to cheat.
He quietly moved the chess pieces, but no matter how he cheated, he still lost.
With a flick of her red-robed sleeves, the chessboard vanished into the bamboo pavilion. The beautiful Demon Lord twitched his lips, snorted with disdain, and said, "You truly deserve to have outlived me by five thousand years. You truly possess some strength."
Seeing his proud look, Jin Li's eyes moved and he said, "Qianqiu, you owe me something."
The expression on Mo Qianqiu's face froze for a moment. After a long moment, he said, "Go ahead."
"Come boating on the lake with me."
Mo Qianqiu opened his eyes wide and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Before long, the two of them boarded a Heavenly Grade Treasure Ship and sailed across the lake in the center of Dragon Island. If others knew they were using a Heavenly Grade Magical Treasure as an ordinary boat, they would probably be so angry that their necks would twist.
This is a heavenly magic weapon!
A heavenly-grade magic weapon that can withstand a full-strength attack from an early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator and travel thousands of miles a day!
Mo Qianqiu excelled at refining weapons, and the items he used were always the best. Monsters, especially divine beasts, rarely used magical weapons, relying solely on their own strength. Previously, Mo Qianqiu had forged a celestial-grade magical weapon for Jin Li in the shape of a pearl. This pearl shone brilliantly, like the most dazzling cold jade liquid from the depths of the Pleiades, pure and noble.
