The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

2404 Ask

Time slowly passed as dead silence lingered in the air.

Inside the room, Rong Xiu sat opposite Chu Liuyue.

There was a chessboard between the two of them. On it, the intense black and red-gold colors complemented each other, forming an extremely bright scene.

Beads of sweat slowly emerged on Chu Liuyue’s forehead, wetting her hair.

Six hours had passed, but she only made five moves during this period of time.

It wasn’t that she did not know where to place her piece, but… The force of this chessboard was too strong! If she wanted to successfully place her piece, she had to put in a large amount of effort! Besides, every move was even more difficult than the previous one.

Before this, Chu Liuyue never expected that her game with Rong Xiu would progress in such a slow and bitter manner.

Chu Liuyue knew that Rong Xiu was very strong. However, this was the first time she clearly felt the difference between them…

It was like the difference between heaven and earth—hard to cross!

After she made her sixth move, Rong Xiu raised his hand.

A black chess piece lightly landed.

His movements were very smooth, seemingly not encountering the suppression that Chu Liuyue faced when she tried to make a move on the chessboard. It was as if everything was as easy as ABC to him.

In actual fact, that was indeed the case.

Chu Liuyue pursed her lips. I’m already a legendary warrior. Besides, without exaggerating, I’m definitely the top amongst all the legendary warriors. My holy force is definitely suppressive compared to most cultivators, not to mention that I have already completed the Star Path and solved all the Xuan formations.

A Grandmaster Xuan Master was beaten into such a sorry state in front of Rong Xiu.

Chu Liuyue closed her eyes and gathered her focus. I have to finish this game and… listen to the truth that Rong Xiu has hidden for so long!

…

Qiang Wanzhou stood in the yard and looked at the door before him with slightly knitted brows. There was a hint of worry on his pretty and intricate face.

It had been a long time since the two of them went in. Not only did they seem like they weren’t coming out, but the entire room even had a faint suppression.

That is Rong Xiu’s doing. He set up this horrifying barrier and easily blocked everything inside. What exactly…

After hesitating for a moment, he walked toward another room.

The room door wasn’t locked. However, Qiang Wanzhou still came to it and knocked. “It’s me.”

A nonchalant and calm voice sounded from the room. “Come in.”

Qiang Wanzhou then went in.

Behind the screen, Cen Yi stood behind the desk. There was a painting before him.

Qiang Wanzhou instinctively glanced at it and faintly saw the complicated patterns on it. In its mess, there seemed to be a certain indescribable pattern.

When he saw the familiar blurred handwriting hidden beneath the lines, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately lowered his head.

However, Cen Yi didn’t seem to mind as he casually used an item to cover it. Following that, he looked up. “What’s the matter?”

Qiang Wanzhou hesitated for a moment before saying, “There… seems to be something amiss with Master and His Highness.”

It was fine if it was a day or so, but they continuously didn’t come out. Besides, His Highness’s moves were unsettling.

Cen Yi shook his head. “Master is with His Highness. You don’t have to worry.”

Qiang Wanzhou was hesitant with his words. After thinking for a while, he said, “There’s less than half a month left until the Heaven Gate closes.”

The turbulent winds preceded the storms.

Currently, Fantasy Divine Palace was much colder than before, and the atmosphere was tense. Clearly, everyone was waiting for that day’s arrival.

Cen Yi’s expression did not change as he nodded. “It is indeed soon… Master and His Highness have their own plans. We don’t have to worry. As for you, how have you been doing lately?”

Qiang Wanzhou touched his brows. “Everything went smoothly.”

Cen Yi did not seem shocked.

Ever since he solved that seal, the coldness in Qiang Wanzhou’s body had been completely absorbed and melted. He broke through to become a legendary warrior in one shot.

Cultivating was just a very simple matter to the current Qiang Wanzhou. As long as nothing went wrong, there was nothing to worry about.

“It’s fine if you know what you’re doing. However, don’t go out for this period of time. Just cultivate here peacefully.”

“Yes.” Qiang Wanzhou acknowledged the order. Then, he thought of something, pressed his thin lips against each other, and said, “I heard that on the day the Heaven Gate closes, the deities will all appear. At that time, the Fantasy Divine Hall’s First Deity should also…”

“He’s already come out.” Cen Yi lowered his head and looked at the drawing before him.

Qiang Wanzhou was stunned. “What?! Why isn’t there any news outside?”

He had been intentionally asking around during this period, but he did not hear any relevant rumors.

Cen Yi’s lips curled up at an extremely faint angle, as a dark glint seemed to flash across his narrow and nonchalant eyes. “He went to the Fantasy Divine Sea. Of course, you don’t know.”

Qiang Wanzhou instantly understood. But after hearing the three words ‘Fantasy Divine Sea,’ he glanced at Cen Yi rather hesitantly. “Then… when do you plan to go?”

Cen Yi paused in his actions and did not reply to him. He asked in return, “Si Jing is still in the lightning pool?”

Qiang Wanzhou nodded. “Previously, he came back every day. But since three days ago, he has been there the whole time and hasn’t come back.”

“He should,” said Cen Yi.

Qiang Wanzhou did not continue.

After a moment, Cen Yi said, “Go back and rest. You don’t have to worry about this. After this period, there should be quite a few things waiting for you to handle.”

Qiang Wanzhou’s gaze flickered. He touched the token around his waist before saying, “OK.”

…

Shu Jing quickly returned and arrived before the light-green barrier. She furrowed her brows tightly.

The previous strange ripple had already disappeared; it was as if nothing had happened. However… she clearly knew that it was not the case!

Shu Jing felt terrible.

The barrier had strange changes and kept having problems from time to time, which gave her a feeling of being teased.

Thinking of First Deity and Second Deity’s previous attitudes, she was even more frustrated.

At this point, she had to admit that she couldn’t solve the problem with her own strength!

Thinking of this, she was determined as she turned around to leave.

Not only this barrier, but there is also the Left Divine General… Even though I already feel that it’s impossible, I still want to verify it personally.

…

Yu Qian was on the legendary fiend mountain.

Ever since he was punished by the First Deity in public, this was his first time coming out.

The legendary fiends on the mountain seemed to detect his low mood, and they didn’t dare to approach him. They all avoided him.

Yu Qian walked in the forest alone. As he walked, he kept thinking of some incidents that happened lately.

As for the First Deity, he definitely had some vengeance and indignance toward him.

No matter what, he was also the Second Deity. Even though his status and identity were lower than the First Deity, he kneeled in front of the crowd for three days and three nights. How could Yu Qian not feel anything?

All these years, First Deity didn’t do anything and left all the big and small matters in Fantasy Divine Palace for him to handle personally. In the end, just because he asked a question, he received such a punishment!

Yu Qian’s gaze turned darker.
