"Your Majesty, didn't you secretly set up a plan to attack Transcendence three days ago? Now that the Celestial domain is suddenly attacking us, should we continue carrying out our plan?"
The Infernal general's words made Shi Xiaobai frown. He had yet to reach the seventh level three days ago. The person secretly setting up the plan was clearly the real Infernal King, but why would the real Infernal King attack Transcendence?
Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment and asked, "Back then, what reason did This King use to propose the plan to attack Transcendence?"
The Infernal general was slightly surprised. The question sounded odd, but the Infernal general immediately expressed good loyalty and respect. He quickly answered truthfully, "This Lowly One does not know the exact situation. This Lowly One only remembers that Your Majesty was extremely angry back then. He angrily denounced Transcendence as a 'darn thief', as though they had stolen something important from you. It made you break years of peace to attack Transcendence.
Update as soon as possible. "
Shi Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat. The word 'thief' made him produce a strange association.
Shi Xiaobai did not carry on asking. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said to the Infernal general, "Cancel the plan to attack Transcendence. What's most important now is to protect the Infernal domain and withstand the Celestial domain's attack."
Regardless of the reason why the real Infernal King wanted to attack Transcendence, the present Infernal King was Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai naturally could not lose his mind and send troops to attack Transcendence while the Celestial domain was attacking.
When the Infernal general heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately answered respectfully, "Yes! This Lowly One will inform the various generals to cancel the plan to attack Transcendence. "
The Infernal general still had a fresh memory of the Infernal King's rage three days ago. He was afraid that the Infernal King would lose his mind due to his anger and insist on attacking Transcendence. Now, seeing the Infernal King calm and composed, the Infernal general heaved a sigh of relief.
When the Infernal general retreated, the silver-haired girl happened to fly down from the sky.
After the silver-haired girl landed, she stared at Shi Xiaobai. Clearly, she was grumbling about Shi Xiaobai's willful act of pulling her hand away when he was two hundred meters from the ground. It gave her such a fright that her heart nearly leaped out.
Shi Xiaobai gave a sheepish smile and said, "Look, This King is completely unharmed after falling from two hundred meters."
Shi Xiaobai had no other choice. A sudden attack from the sky was the fastest and most effective way to crush the morale of the Celestial soldiers. However, the silver-haired girl was just too kind. She did not even agree to a height of ten meters. She was afraid that he would be injured, so Shi Xiaobai had no choice but to resort to such a method.
When the silver-haired girl heard this, she rolled her eyes. Like an angry kitten with its tail up, she stared angrily at Shi Xiaobai, as though she was saying, "You are naughty, you are really naughty."
When the silver-haired girl regained her liveliness, it made Shi Xiaobai's heavy mood turn for the better. He laughed out loud and reached out his hand to rub the silver-haired girl's head. He teased, "Thank you for bringing This King on a flight. However, your flying skills still need to be improved. This King nearly thought that we would encounter a plane crash."
The silver-haired girl blushed slightly as she pretended to glare angrily at Shi Xiaobai. She turned around and ran towards Sunless and company who were walking over from afar. She, who was unable to speak, naturally had a good impression of Sunless, who was not good with words.
Shi Xiaobai nodded at them in greeting before turning to look at the Infernal soldiers who were cleaning up the mess.
The war had just begun, but the Celestial army's first probing battle was already so bloody and tragic. How cruel would the war that would intensify in the future be?
How was he to stop the war?
.....
.....
Shi Xiaobai and company waited an entire night at the Infernal domain's first line of defense. The Celestial domain's second wave of attack had yet to arrive even in the early morning. The Infernal servants who had gone to search for the Celestial army's encampment had returned one after another. All of them reported that there were no traces of the Celestial army within a radius of fifty kilometers.
Shi Xiaobai noticed that the Infernal soldiers were exhausted from waiting the entire night. Therefore, he let the Infernal soldiers return to rest, leaving behind a number of patrolling soldiers.
Shi Xiaobai, Sunless and company waited until ten in the morning before returning to the Infernal King's palace to rest. Waiting foolishly for the enemy's attack without resting was an extremely foolish thing to do. Ensuring sufficient sleep was crucial because no one knew how long the war would last or when the enemy would attack.
When Shi Xiaobai returned to the Infernal King's bedroom, he realized that the Infernal Queen was still sleeping wrapped in a blanket. When he opened the door, the Infernal Queen did not open her eyes either. However, the slight changes in her breathing revealed that she was pretending to be asleep.
Shi Xiaobai did not plan on exposing her because he had more important things to do.
Shi Xiaobai walked straight to the desk that he did not have the chance to stay at for too long.
The desk was filled with books and notebooks. The real Infernal King could very well have left behind a lot of useful information on the desk.
But this time, Shi Xiaobai did not immediately flip through the books. Instead, he reached his hand into a drawer at the bottom of the desk.
As it was impossible for outsiders to enter the Infernal King's bedroom, the drawers were not locked. Shi Xiaobai pulled open the drawer and began rummaging. There was a lot of junk in the drawer, but none of them were what Shi Xiaobai was looking for.
Only when he rummaged through the third drawer did Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly. He pulled out something from the junk in the drawer.
It was a jade pendant, a pure, cold, smooth and flawless amber jade pendant.
Shi Xiaobai held the jade pendant in his hand and finally confirmed his guess.
The jade pendant was very beautiful, but it looked like an ordinary jade pendant. However, Shi Xiaobai, who had a keen sense for physical energy, could sense that the jade pendant contained infinite energy when he held it. The energy value was nearly on par with the Transcendence Holy Tree's fruit.
It was not an ordinary jade pendant.
It was the Celestial Jade!
Shi Xiaobai sighed. When he heard the Infernal general say the word 'steal', he recalled the story of the Hero King. The Hero King had stolen the Infernal King's Infernal Sword and framed Leonis, resulting in the war between the Infernal domain and Transcendence. And in that story, the reason why the Celestial domain attacked the Infernal domain was because the Hero King had stolen the Celestial King's Celestial Jade and given it to the Infernal King.
Therefore, the first thing Shi Xiaobai did when he returned to the bedroom was to find the jade pendant. He never expected the Infernal King to place it in the junk drawer.
But what exactly was going on?
Did the assessment program deliberately set the story's background in such a way?
Shi Xiaobai fell into deep thought.
As he pondered, Shi Xiaobai instinctively did something very instinctive. He stuffed the Celestial Jade in his hand into his mouth and after chewing a few times, he swallowed it.
After swallowing the Celestial Jade, a surging energy surged through his body. Only then did Shi Xiaobai jolt awake. He gaped slightly and was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
How did he develop such a bad habit …
"Darling is awesome. You can even eat the Celestial Jade."
The Infernal Queen's teasing voice sounded from behind him. "I'm very curious. How does the Celestial Jade taste?"
Shi Xiaobai turned his head and saw the Infernal Queen, who was dressed in translucent pajamas, with her voluptuous figure faintly discernible, crawl out of bed and slowly walk towards him.
Shi Xiaobai said with a bashful smile, "It's alright. It's about the same as meat muffin."
Shi Xiaobai did not plan on finding excuses for his unintentional and instinctive actions. So be it if he ate the Celestial Jade. Although it was someone else's possession, it was now in his hands.
Furthermore, the Celestial Jade's nutritional value was on the same level as the holy tree's fruit. Eating it was beneficial to him and not harmful at all. As for the blame of eating the Celestial domain's sacred item, it was the 'Infernal King' who would shoulder the blame.
This world did not have meat muffin, so the Infernal Queen was momentarily unable to imagine it. All she did was smile as she looked at Shi Xiaobai. Her eyes shimmered with a probing glint. When she saw Shi Xiaobai find the Celestial Jade, she wanted to see if Shi Xiaobai would take it for himself. But she never expected Shi Xiaobai to eat the Celestial Jade in one bite.
This left the Infernal Queen stunned, shocked and somewhat amused.
From her point of view, Shi Xiaobai was an extraordinary human.
"Darling, you made me stay in the room alone for an entire night. How cruel. I'm truly lonely."
The Infernal Queen did not continue on the topic of the Celestial Jade. Instead, she squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "Darling, can you accompany me to play a game of chess to kill the boring time?"
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. Play chess?
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat baffled by the Infernal Queen who did not play by the rules.
However, he did not have the mood to play chess at the moment. He rejected her without any hesitation, "I'm not free."
The Infernal Queen clearly did not expect Shi Xiaobai to agree either. Therefore, she immediately said with a smile, "Darling, every time you win a game, I will answer any question other than my identity!"
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he was alarmed. He could not help but ask, "Really?"
The Infernal Queen nodded. "I will definitely not go back on my word."
Shi Xiaobai, who was agonizing over how to stop the war, immediately had his eyes light up. He knew that the Infernal Queen in front of him definitely had a lot of information and intelligence that he did not know. If he could ask any question other than her identity, it would definitely be of great help to him.
Shi Xiaobai immediately said, "Alright, This King agrees. Tell me, what game should we play? "
Shi Xiaobai was actually not good at many games of chess but he was very confident in his intelligence. He was not afraid of a game of chess that involved intelligence.
However, he never expected the Infernal Queen to ponder for a moment before blinking her eyes and saying, "What game does Darling want to play?"
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. "Let This King decide?"
The Infernal Queen nodded and tersely acknowledged.
Shi Xiaobai laughed. She actually let him decide what game to play? The Infernal Queen really did not know her limits!
Winning the game would allow him to obtain information and intelligence, so Shi Xiaobai would not stand on ceremony.
He said with a smile, "Alright, then let us play a game that tests one's intelligence and strategy …"

(PS: Let's just do one chapter today. This chapter already has three thousand words. The main reason is to let everyone guess what game Shi Xiaobai will choose to play. Whoever can guess it, I'll give 50 Q coins. It will only count as the answer in this chapter's acceptance speech. It will only be limited to the first person to answer correctly.)
