Meanwhile, in another, larger side hall of Tianyue Building, the atmosphere was completely different.
This place was originally intended for guests to rest or have private conversations, but now it is crowded with demon servants and maids.
Upon closer inspection, you'll discover a remarkable sight.
Those burly, tall demon men, some standing and some sitting, all gathered to one side, forming a standoff with Shen Yunhao, who was sitting alone opposite them.
They all stroked their chins, their brows furrowed, deep in thought, their eyes fixed on a chessboard placed in front of Shen Yunhao!
Meanwhile, the demon maids surrounded the chessboard, their large, watery eyes fixed intently on the unfolding situation.
This is a chess set!
After poisoning Zhuli in the past, Shen Yunhao brought this thing, which did not belong to this world, to the group of "simple" demon men for the second time. He also carved the chessboard and chess pieces on the spot using his spiritual energy.
Sitting directly opposite Shen Yunhao, playing chess with the same bear-clan giant he had chatted with earlier, was the same man from the bear clan.
But this was clearly no longer a battle between two people. As the game progressed, every move the bear-man made was met with a barrage of "advice" from a group of "strategists" behind him, making the scene quite chaotic.
"Quick! He made a mistake! I'll take out his sniper rifle (vehicle)!"
Suddenly, the "giant" standing at the very back, the tallest of them all, whose head almost touched the ceiling when he stood up, let out a loud shout, his voice booming like a bell.
But Xiong Hanzi waved his hand impatiently and roared without turning his head, "Shut up! You can't cross the river anyway!"
"Huh?" The giant was shocked. "Why! The horse can go through, but I can't?"
"Idiot!" a man from an unknown ethnic group shouted angrily. "Horses can jump, but can you? You'll drown if you try to cross the river!"
As everyone knows, elephants cannot jump.
Upon hearing this, the giant's massive body froze abruptly. After a moment of thought, he suddenly clutched his head with both hands, as if questioning the meaning of life. "Damn it! I can't do it! But... I can definitely do it now!"
As he spoke, he actually assumed a jumping posture, his massive body slightly crouching, startling the group of maids watching the chess game nearby, who gasped in shock:
"Idiot! Stop right there! You'll collapse this building! I couldn't pay for it even if I sold you!"
Shen Yunhao smiled slightly as he watched the chaotic scene unfold, and amidst the lamentations of the demon warriors, he easily won another round.
Well, I thought the little white dragon was stupid enough back then... but I didn't expect that all these guys combined are not even as good as the little white dragon!
"hey-hey!"
Shen Yunhao clapped his hands, a malicious smile spreading across his face. "I've won again! As agreed, it's my turn to decide the punishment!"
Then he turned his gaze to the group of demon maids watching the show from the sidelines, "We agreed before that if you win three rounds in a row, you can choose anyone to be punished on the spot this time!"
The maids whose gaze swept over him all blushed, lowered their heads in embarrassment, and took a small step back.
But Shen Yunhao had no intention of letting them go. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Let me see... are there any Po Ling Clan girls here?"
Upon hearing this, the maids from the other tribes breathed a sigh of relief and, with remarkable tacit understanding, betrayed their companions, pushing out a slender, thin maid in a purple dress from the side of the group.
"She's from the Spirit Breaker Clan!"
"Xiao Rui, it's all up to you!"
The little girl named Xiao Rui seemed a bit shy. Pushed to the front of the line by her companions, she blushed instantly under the gazes of Shen Yunhao and the group of burly demon men. She nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, her voice barely a whisper: "Young Master Mu... I... can I not change...?"
Shen Yunhao chuckled softly, "A promise is a promise! Aren't we demons the most trustworthy?"
Seeing the girl's continued hesitation, a group of men behind her, who were also feeling down after losing the game, impatiently started to jeer:
"It's just showing your true colors, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh! Stop dawdling, it's not satisfying at all! Hurry up, don't delay our comeback in the next round!"
"That's right, none of us know who Young Master Mu really is yet. Today, we should at least win him out so he can see the world!"
At this moment, the maids united and stood up to defend Xiaorui: "Isn't it all because you're stupid that you lost the game! You dragged Xiaorui down with you!"
The men, embarrassed, retorted defiantly, "Aren't you women all chattering and giving useless advice too? None of you are any good! You're just making things worse!"
"It's not like we're playing chess!"
"..."
Seeing them start to "pass the buck," Shen Yunhao shook his head helplessly.
He originally created chess just to pass the time, but he didn't expect it to cause such a stir.
As for the "revealing true form" operation, Shen Yunhao was simply curious and wanted to see the true form of the other party's Heavenly Gang War Bear.
Somehow, it later evolved into a penalty chip in the game, even taking into account one's own non-existent "true self".
For demons, revealing their true form in front of outsiders is not particularly embarrassing; it depends more on individual personality.
Some bold and unrestrained female demons can be completely unconcerned, while male demons may be shy and socially awkward, and dare not stand in front of the stage.
It was just a joke, and since the little girl resisted, Shen Yunhao naturally wouldn't force her.
Just as he was about to give up, the little girl, perhaps encouraged by her companions, timidly squatted down, and a soft purple light emanated from her body.
A flash of light appeared, and a purple ball of fur, about the size of a house cat, appeared on the spot.
Upon seeing the true form of the Netherworld Purple Sable, Shen Yunhao's eyes immediately lit up.
The little guy looks similar to the ferret Shen Yunhao had seen on screen, except that its fur is a dreamy light purple, smooth and shiny, like the finest silk, with a pair of bright black eyes set in them, and you can vaguely see a hint of shyness.
What's most captivating is its bushy tail, which is even longer than its entire body, trailing behind it in fluffy fur.
No wonder Bai Xiaoruo previously said that the tails of the Mink Clan were all of the highest quality, even better than those of the Fox Clan... Seeing them today, it's clear they lived up to their reputation!
That tail looks so nice to touch!
"Young Master Mu... are you ready?"
The little sable seemed to sense that Shen Yunhao's gaze was fixed on her tail, and shyly tried to hide it behind her back, but unfortunately, the tail was bigger than her upper body and could not be hidden at all.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao immediately snapped out of his daze, quickly averted his gaze, and coughed twice: "Alright, alright... I've certainly broadened my horizons today, thank you, Miss Xiaorui..."
