Chapter 602: 304: Zhi Yan Breakup!_2

Suo Lun shook his head, "Sorry, I’m really not interested."

Yuanyuan’s gaze trembled, and she added, "I’ve heard that Lord Suo Lun’s painting skills are unparalleled. The characters you paint come to life so vividly, as if they are Soul Reflections. I wonder if I could ask Lord Suo Lun to paint a portrait for me?"

"Insignificant talent, not worth mentioning." Suo Lun once again rejected her coldly.

Yuanyuan’s beautiful eyes turned cold as she said, "Lord Suo Lun, don’t forget that you’re merely a prisoner at my feet, your life hanging by the thread of my applause. What use is there in provoking me?"

Suo Lun said, "I paint portraits for the women of the pleasure quarters, which allows them to change their Destiny. I play music for those who love it and to express my innermost feelings. But I will definitely not paint or play the piano for someone else’s amusement."

"Well said..." Yuanyuan stretched out her jade arm, propped up her chin, and said, "Do you know, both Zhi Li and Zhi Yan think you’re dead? I’ve made a skull that looks exactly like yours, even copying the crescent indentation on the teeth. What changes do you think will unfold in the Rage Wave Kingdom upon receiving news of your death?"

Suo Lun’s gaze involuntarily trembled.

Upon receiving news of his death, Zhi Li would undoubtedly be relieved and would no longer restrain himself in many matters.

Suo Lun had seen more than once the greedy gaze Zhi Li cast upon Gui Qinshao.

He could only hope that Gui Xingfu and Ling Ao loved her enough not to let her suffer too much harm.

On Zhi Yan’s side, upon hearing of Suo Lun’s death, she would probably give up any hope of seizing the throne completely. After Zhi Li’s ascension, if Zhi Yan wanted to survive, she would either need to seek the protection of Fang Qingshu or rely on Huai Bingyi.

Among the two, Zhi Yan would most likely have a closer relationship with Huai Bingyi. Moreover, Huai Bingyi’s influence in this world might also surpass that of Fang Qingshu.

However, in the attack on Suo Lun, perhaps Huai Bingyi played an unspeakable role.

At least, he kept Zhi Yan in Wangcheng Zidu instead of allowing her to return to Tianshui City with Suo Lun.

Otherwise, with Zhi Yan’s spiritual power and her sensitivity to the special energy of the Demon Continent, she could have detected the dangerous energy emanating from the Demon Continent from thousands of kilometers away, and Suo Lun would not have encountered danger.

Recalling the interactions with Huai Bingyi at the royal banquet, Suo Lun felt completely charmed, as if those eyes held no malice, only admiration and astonishment.

Suddenly, Suo Lun said, "Zhi Li shouldn’t be able to command you, the lofty Princess of Yaozhou, to kill me, right? Just for Ashi Luo, you wouldn’t put up such a grand show to kill me, would you?"

The Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou said, "I know what you want to ask, but there’s no need. However, if you wish to know, we can exchange answers."

Suo Lun said, "Please go ahead."

Yuanyuan said, "The Dragon Temple paid such a heavy price to kill Ashi Luo, what exactly is the reason? Does Ashi Luo have some unspeakable secret or identity?"

Suo Lun shrugged, "How could I possibly know such a secret?"

Yuanyuan laughed softly, then said no more.

Afterward, she suddenly asked, "Suo Lun, what do you think intelligence is?"

Suo Lun said, "An amazing memory, astonishing logic, and incredible inspiration."

Yuanyuan asked, "Then, does luck count as part of it, hmm?"

Suo Lun’s eyes narrowed, bitterness in his voice, "I understand."

Yuanyuan was taken aback, "I haven’t said anything yet, and you already understand?"

Suo Lun said, "Best two out of three."

Yuanyuan had a strategic game of wits with Suo Lun, best two out of three.

If Suo Lun won, she would let him go; if Suo Lun lost, he would surely die!

And in the first round, Suo Lun had won. If he won the second round as well, the game would be over ahead of schedule.

Yuanyuan suddenly said, "Originally, I wanted to wait until we were ashore and back home to carry out the second round of our strategic game, but just now you refused to paint for me and refused to play music, thoroughly angering me. Therefore, I’ve decided to bring the second round forward."

Suo Lun said, "Please, go on."

Yuanyuan said, "The second round of this game is crucial, you see. If you win, there’s no need for the third round; you win outright. I’ll let you go, and I mean what I say."

Suo Lun smiled, "Please proceed!"

Yuanyuan said, "Of course, if you lose, you will still be violated. But this time it won’t be by four brawny men, just one person, and that’s Zhuang Zhixuan standing behind me. I’m treating you well, aren’t I?"

At these words, Zhuang Zhixuan behind her trembled and his face turned pale.

Suo Lun looked at the tall and handsome Zhuang Zhixuan and immediately his face turned pale.

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou’s beautiful eyes once again revealed a devilish glint as she extended her right hand, clenched into a fist.

Her hand was delicate and fair, the clenched fist resembling a ball of snow.

"The second round of the battle of wits has begun," Yuanyuan said. "In the fist of my right hand, I hold one or two chess pieces, and no other possibilities exist. Guess whether it is one or two? If you guess correctly, you win!"

When this witch mentioned luck, Suo Lun knew what the result would be.

She had said that in human wisdom, luck must account for a large part.

In other words, she was prepared to play dirty. Because Suo Lun had won the first round, if he won the second round, the gambling match would have been over prematurely.

Suo Lun, she had to win the second round at all costs.

Witch Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Lord Suo Lun, come on, guess, is it one or two? You have a fifty percent chance of winning. Winning or losing is entirely up to destiny now."

Without x-ray vision, how could Suo Lun possibly see whether she had one or two chess pieces in her fist?

Yuanyuan said, "If you guess right, I’ll let you go. But if you guess wrong, you’ll be ravaged by my face horseman Zhuang Zhixuan, okay?"

Suo Lun closed his eyes and took a deep, steady breath, using his spiritual power to sense everything, especially Zhuang Zhixuan behind Yuanyuan.

Then he opened his eyes.

"Two," Suo Lun said.

Yuanyuan’s lips curled into a smug smile as she sweetly said, "You guessed wrong, you lost, it’s one piece."

She then flipped her clenched fist over and opened her right hand.

Indeed, there was only one black Go piece in her palm.

The second round, Suo Lun lost!

Then what if Suo Lun had answered one piece?

He would still have lost.

Because, the witch Yuanyuan could hold one or two chess pieces in her hand. When she did nothing, there were two pieces, but when she turned over her fist, the two chess pieces in her palm merged into one.

So, no matter how Suo Lun guessed, he would lose.

Concerning this outcome, Suo Lun had already thought of it. Therefore, when Yuanyuan mentioned luck, he knew it would end up this way.

Yuanyuan laughed and said, "We are all intelligent people, I know you saw through my tricks long ago. I just wanted to keep the suspense until the very end. Don’t worry, the last third round will definitely be a true contest of wits, and I will give it my all. If you win, you live, if you lose, you die! But for this second round, you might as well accept that you’ve lost."

Then she stood up, her delicate body turning towards Suo Lun, "The loser must submit to the bet."

Next, she gently flicked her wrist in front of Suo Lun.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance entered his nostrils, and Suo Lun immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Her face horseman Zhuang Zhixuan immediately cast a pleading look at her.

Yuanyuan said coldly, "Are you thinking of defying orders?"

Zhuang Zhixuan shook her head.

Zhuang Zhixuan gritted her teeth and stripped off her body-hugging attire.

Amazingly, she was a woman, her hair only an inch long, with a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure.

Dressed as a samurai, she looked completely like a beautiful man. Unexpectedly, she was a woman.

A statuesque and athletic woman emitting a unique scent!
