As the rain continued, Tang Xi felt that her brain was no longer able to keep up with Shen Yunhao's pace.
The situation on the chessboard is like an invisible net, tightening more and more. It seems that every move I want to make is within the opponent's calculations, and I have no way to defend myself!
Even she found it so difficult, and the group of demons watching the game behind her were even more dazzled, their heads buzzing, feeling that there was danger lurking on the chessboard and that every move was full of hidden secrets, exclaiming in disbelief.
Finally, under Shen Yunhao's scheme, after two "cars" were successively taken away, the woman's mentality completely collapsed.
"Smack!"
It was accompanied by a slight cracking sound.
Tang Xi lost control of her strength and crushed a chess piece into pieces...
Some sharp-eyed maids and servants realized something was wrong and quietly moved away from the room. After leaving, they would exchange glances and sigh in secret.
"This is too tragic, too tragic... This is a complete joke..."
Shh! Keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?!
The room was completely silent.
Tang Xi stared at her own utterly defeated state on the chessboard, her chest heaving slightly. She took several deep breaths to barely suppress the turmoil in her blood.
She raised her eyes, forcing a smile through gritted teeth, "You...you really want to see my real body that badly? Don't you even know how to give me a break?"
Shen Yunhao: "..."
You really can't blame me, can you? You made such a bizarre bet, if I lose, where am I supposed to find you to reveal your true form?
Shen Yunhao coughed twice, looked at the chess piece that Tang Xi had crushed, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively offered her a way out: "Ahem... Miss Tang, you see, this game of chess... is not completely over yet, and the outcome is still uncertain. How about... we call it a draw?"
He had already given her plenty of face, but unexpectedly, Tang Xi just glanced at him sideways and sneered, "A draw? Young Master Mu, do you... think I can't afford to lose?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao was speechless.
You were the one who told me I should give way before, and now you're the one stubbornly refusing to admit defeat...
Women are so hard to please!
Tang Xi stopped looking at him and sat upright in her chair. Although she had lost the game, she still maintained a dignified posture.
She turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the servants in the room, a half-smile playing on her lips. "What? Are you all interested in my true form? Want to stay and see for yourselves?"
When everyone was swept over by her gaze, they suddenly realized what was going on!
"Ah! I just remembered there's soup simmering on the stove!"
"My mom is calling me home for dinner!"
"It looks like it's going to rain outside, I'm going to bring in the laundry!"
In an instant, various excuses arose one after another, and the crowd rushed towards the door in a panic, scattering like birds and beasts in a moment.
Only two Sea Devouring Clan maids remained, standing there with hesitation written all over their faces. One of them couldn't help but whisper again, "Miss...you need to think this over carefully!"
"go out!"
Tang Xi waved her hand, her tone leaving no room for argument and giving them no chance to refute.
The two maids exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, and could only bow their heads and say, "Yes, Miss."
He then quickly left the room and carefully closed the door.
Just as the door closed, leaving only Shen Yunhao and Tang Xi, the woman suddenly raised her hand and produced a paper talisman that glowed with a faint light from somewhere. After lighting it, it transformed into an invisible ripple that spread out and filled every corner of the room.
Tang Xi chuckled softly and looked at Shen Yunhao again. "Although my chess skills are not good and I lost to you, young master, my identity is special after all. This true form... is not something that just anyone can see. I've set up such a soundproof array. I'm sure you won't mind, young master?"
Shen Yunhao gave her a long, quiet look.
Based on his understanding of spirit arrays, the array he just saw was no ordinary soundproof array. It was probably enough to isolate all internal and external auras and even divine sense probing. It was a high-level product that only advanced cultivators could create.
He simply smiled faintly, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Since Miss Tang herself doesn't mind, why should I care? It's just that..."
Shen Yunhao changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the enclosed space around him. "If we, a lone man and a lone woman, were to be alone in a room like this, and some rumors were to accidentally spread, it might not be good for your reputation. People who don't know better... might think you have some improper thoughts about me."
He meant it as a joke, but Tang Xi, instead of being embarrassed or annoyed, suddenly gave him a strange smile and her voice became seductive and sticky: "How can Young Master Mu be so sure that I have no improper thoughts about you?"
Before the words were even finished, the scene suddenly changed!
Just moments ago, Tang Xi was all smiles when suddenly a blinding blue light burst forth from her body. Her figure blurred and distorted in the light before vanishing completely!
Immediately following was a series of loud "bangs" and "cracks"!
The table and chairs between the two were violently overturned and torn apart by a huge force, and the chessboard in front of Shen Yunhao was shattered into wood chips everywhere.
Before Shen Yunhao could react further, he felt a tightening around his waist as a cold, slippery, and incredibly thick emerald green snake tail quickly coiled around him like a giant steel cable.
The force was incredibly powerful, and in an instant it bound him tightly, rendering him unable to move!
He barely managed to lift his head, only to see a scarlet maw the size of a face plate right in front of him. Deep inside the mouth, the expanded throat resembled a dark cave. Through the writhing muscle channels, he could vaguely see the python's bottomless, blood-red stomach, like an abyss, emitting a strong, pungent, fishy smell!
Although Shen Yunhao knew very well that the other party was putting on an act, he had no doubt that if the circumstances hadn't prevented it, the snake demon in front of him would have swallowed him whole without hesitation!
Some things, you get used to after experiencing them many times.
After all, he possessed the heart of the vast ocean, and the monsters who wanted to eat him had been constantly coming since he started cultivating immortality... Among them, various snake demons were the most fond of playing the "swallowing alive" trick.
Sure enough, the next moment, Tang Xi's voice, tinged with urgency and barely suppressed, came from the giant mouth of the python, which was so close at hand:
"Young Master Shen... has anyone ever told you... that you smell really good! So good that it makes people... want to... devour you whole!"
The title here has changed from "Young Master Mu" to "Young Master Shen," indicating that under the cover of this all-isolating formation, the other party is too lazy to pretend anymore!
Shen Yunhao shifted his body, only to find that the python was tightly coiled and he couldn't break free at all. He could only sigh helplessly, "I've heard it before, I've heard it so many times... my ears are practically calloused..."
