"Shi Xiaobai, at this point in time, is there a need for you to fabricate such crappy lies? A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. Since I've taken the initiative to lay my cards on the table, it's time to end this game. "
The Infernal Queen put away her fake coquettish smile and the way she addressed him as' husband and concubine '. Her eyes were sharp and cold.
"A lame lie? This King does not understand what you mean, nor does he know what your so-called chess game is. "Shi Xiaobai looked puzzled as a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A sneer suffused across the Infernal Queen's lips. "That matter can be hidden from that bunch of idiots, but can it be hidden from me?"
"That matter?" Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly.
"Hehe, looks like you're going to play dumb till the end."
A look of disappointment flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes. She originally admired Shi Xiaobai's intelligence when playing chess, as well as his principles and willpower to not be seduced by beauty. However, Kali's lowly love that did not match her identity, as well as the 'matter' that happened not long ago, made her understand that the so-called 'gentleman' should be preceded by the word 'hypocrite'.
"Fine. Since you want to continue to play dumb and keep your mouth shut, I'll make you speechless."
The Infernal Queen's eyes were cold as she said with a sneer, "Do you remember that not long ago, you asked me about the Infernal King's Mandate?"
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly and nodded.
He had indeed asked the Infernal Queen about the Infernal King's mandate. As such, he learned of the feud between the first Infernal King and the Celestial King. He also learned that the Infernal King's mandate was to kill the current Celestial King.
The sneer on the Infernal Queen's lips deepened as she continued, "You are very smart. After using two chances, you managed to guess that I'm the assessment program. You know that although I'm targeting you, I still have to abide by the rules of the 'program'. I can set you as the Demon King, preventing you from completing the Champion of the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament as a Braveheart, but I can't completely cut off your path of gaining the recognition of the program. The trial-takers who were programmed to be heroes, be it winning the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament or killing the Demon King, both were actions befitting their status. Therefore, you logically guessed that the way the trial-takers who were the Demon King obtained the 'program's approval' was … to complete the Demon King's Mandate. So you asked me about the Demon King's mission. "
Shi Xiaobai's expression changed slightly as a look of shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He shook his head and said, "You are overthinking things. This King isn't that smart."
"No, you're smarter than I thought."
The Infernal Queen said with a sneer, "You knew that I was targeting you, but you still asked me because you were confident that you could deduce the correct answer from the wrong answer. And I, who could easily figure this out, would instead give an answer that was close to the real answer to confuse you. When you play chess, you will always think ten, twenty, or even more moves. It was the same this time. You guessed from the start that I would give you a half-truth. "
Shi Xiaobai said with a laugh, "Sorry, you are really overthinking things."
The Infernal Queen sneered and said to herself, "The answer I gave you is half true and half false. In the history of the Transcendental World, this generation's Infernal King nearly unified the Three Realms, but he was eventually killed by the combined forces of the Celestial King and the Hexstar Bravehearts. Therefore, trial-takers with the identity of the Infernal King have to kill the Celestial King to complete the Infernal King's mission or kill the Hexstar Bravehearts to prematurely end the lives of the six leaders of the Bravehearts era. Regardless of which side was killed, it would prevent the situation of the Celestial King and the Bravehearts from joining forces. It would also change the final fate of the Infernal King. Although I hid the latter, I had considered one more step and told you the former. "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his expression changed as he frowned. He still remembered that Pulp Farmer and company had been received as' Hexstar Bravehearts' back in Transcendence. It turned out that these identities were deliberately designed.
Shi Xiaobai said with a wry smile, "Aren't you targeting me too much? You set This King as the Infernal King and Speechless as the Celestial King, while Sunless and company were set as Hexstar Bravehearts. Making This King have to kill Speechless or the other six to obtain the 'program's recognition', what's the difference between this and completely severing the means for This King to clear the level? "
"I originally believed that doing so would completely sever the means for you to clear the level."
A mocking smile suffused across the Infernal Queen's lips as her gaze turned slightly cold. She said, "But I never expected that not only did you guess that the answer I gave was true, you even mercilessly completed the matter."
Shi Xiaobai frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Do you still want to continue acting dumb after saying so much? Since you are forcing me to expose you, I won't beat around the bush. "
The smile on the Infernal Queen's lips suddenly turned abnormally strange. She said, "Shi Xiaobai, three days ago, you pretended to be unconscious and took the opportunity to kill the Celestial King, completing the Infernal King's mission. What a great trick and scheme!"
Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly as his expression turned cold. "That joke is going too far."
The Infernal Queen said with a sneer, "Do you think you can hide everything you have done from my eyes? Unfortunately, no matter how flawless you are, even if you can hide from my eyes, there is no way you can hide from the rules of the 'program'! "
Shi Xiaobai said coldly, "What are you trying to say?"
"I just want to tell you that I can't hold it back any longer. The rules of the program have determined that you have completed the mission. Even if I use all my authority, I can only stall for time, but I can't stop the final outcome. You have succeeded. You have won. This game of chess is my loss. "
The Infernal Queen had an indignant look and her eyes were filled with anger. However, there was a strange smile on her lips.
Finally, she returned to her usual charming and enchanting self.
"As you wish, the eighth level's world has been opened to you."
She crooked her finger, licked her red lips, and said seductively.
She said with a coquettish voice, "So, please come in!"
.....
.....
As the important conversation in the Infernal King's bedroom was ongoing, another important conversation was happening in the forest outside the Infernal King's bedroom.
The path in the forest was shaded by greenery. Other than the chirping of birds, the rustling of the branches in the wind, and the sparse footsteps of two people, there was no other noise.
The azure-dressed girl walked in front at an unhurried pace.
The Daoist robed youth followed behind with a hesitant look.
Liu Yu was filled with questions. When he heard that Shi Xiaobai had awoken, he had rushed to the Infernal King's bedroom. Along the way, he happened to meet Sunless, who had come out to get food.
He never expected that it would turn into such a situation.
Why did Sunless' invite 'him out alone?
Did she have something to discuss?
In Liu Yu's impression, this azure-dressed girl who seldom took the initiative to converse with others had yet to say a word to him. He never expected that the first thing she said was' follow me '.
With Sunless's personality, unless the matter was so urgent that it was necessary, it was impossible for her to do so.
No, not only that.
This matter was definitely related to 'sword' or 'Shi Xiaobai'.
Could it be …
As Liu Yu's thoughts reached this point, he suddenly thought of a certain possibility. Seeing Sunless walk deep into the forest without a word, he suddenly had an ominous foreboding. With a dry laugh, he was the first to speak. "Benefactor Sunless, could it be that you want to discuss in detail with This Penniless Priest about concealing Benefactor Shi Xiaobai?"
Suddenly, Sunless, who was walking in front, came to a halt. She turned her body slightly and gave Liu Yu a nonchalant glance. Her sidelong glance seemed somewhat cold.
"You are lying."
Sunless suddenly said.
Liu Yu's pupils constricted slightly as his expression changed slightly, but he instantly turned calm.
"Lying?"
Liu Yu said 'blankly', "When has This Penniless Priest ever lied? Oh, could Benefactor Sunless be referring to concealing Benefactor Shi Xiaobai? If concealing the truth is considered lying, then This Penniless Priest has indeed told a huge lie, but … "
Sunless suddenly interrupted, "Shi Xiaobai's hair did not turn silver."
The bright sunlight seemed to freeze at that moment.
