Chapter 1861 - 1455: Guesswork All the Way, Cleared!

Gu Changsheng was genuinely nervous!

Nervous like never before!

She wasn’t even this nervous when she was surrounded by thousands of troops!

Because, darn it, she really had to rely on guessing here, and honestly, she didn’t know how to play chess at all!

Gu Changsheng didn’t want to look down; she feared that seeing the black and white pieces on the chessboard would make her dizzy. But, she had to look down; even if she was guessing, she had to find a blank spot on the board to place her pieces, didn’t she?

She couldn’t let the pieces stack on top of each other, right?

Phoenix Eyes unwillingly glanced at the chessboard, and sure enough, the scattered black and white pieces made her feel dizzy!

Deep breath...

Gu Changsheng kept encouraging herself mentally, she couldn’t slip up now; after all, wasn’t guessing what she was doing...

But when it came to luck, Gu Changsheng truly lacked confidence, especially considering that behind her was a string of companions tied to her fate; if she guessed wrong, it wasn’t a big deal for her, but all these people would perish along with her, none of them could escape!

"No way!" Ultimately, after a few deep breaths, Gu Changsheng withdrew her hands, turning uncomfortably to look at everyone beside her...

"Um, could you not hold onto me like you’re pledging yourselves?" Gu Changsheng blinked a few times and honestly spoke, "You guys are putting a lot of psychological pressure on me!"

Where is it just big; it’s clearly as big as Alexander’s burden!

If she failed, pulling this group down together wouldn’t feel great; inside, Gu Changsheng genuinely felt a bit guilty about it!

She hadn’t even made a mistake yet but was already feeling guilty; if she really guessed wrong, she might carry this guilt till death!

"No way!" As soon as Gu Changsheng spoke, Zhou Mu replied without hesitation; his face, like a Divine Residence, was full of certainty, his eyes deep as a cold pool clearly stating that there’s no room for discussion.

Gu Changsheng was furious, looking at her own evildoer whose face was twitching. After holding back several times, she couldn’t help but shout, "Can’t I die in peace? If I guess wrong, it’s just me done for. Why are you all jumping into this? Are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation forever?"

Darn it, the two beside her weren’t anonymous nobodies either, even she herself was bearing the title of the Southern Emperor!

If this were in modern times, they’d absolutely be the powerful stars among superstars!

Taking down three in one go; this was destined to be etched into history forever!

And Gu Changsheng, as the main culprit for guessing the chess game wrong, surely would have a permanent bad name!

The small bit of good reputation she painstakingly earned was dwindling away, it seemed like it was about to vanish completely!

"You must believe in yourself!" Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng and shook his head with a smile.

"Smile! Smile! You can still laugh! Such a unreliable idea, only you could come up with it!" When Gu Changsheng saw Zhou Mu smile, she exploded instantly.

"The one who came up with this idea is him." Zhou Mu showed no concern for Gu Changsheng’s anger, pointing to Shi Wujue beside them, speaking with righteous tone.

"As the City Lord, I only casually suggested this; bringing it up again was you!" Shi Wujue, hearing this, raised an eyebrow slightly, giving Zhou Mu a sidelong glance.

Gu Changsheng looked at the two men, lifted her hand with trembling lips, yet didn’t know what to say.

Even these two men, masters of the ways of black and white, were stumped, yet insisted that she, someone completely ignorant of chess, should guess!

If she guessed correctly, that would be fine.

But what if she guessed wrong?

Thinking of the consequences made Gu Changsheng a bit headache-y!

It wasn’t that she feared dying, but she felt that her evildoer and Shi Wujue were really too reckless!

How could they play like this?

However, despite Gu Changsheng’s protest, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue had no intention of changing their minds; they gave Gu Changsheng unprecedented encouragement, though their words of encouragement merely revolved around her generally having good luck, asking her to believe in herself.

Gu Changsheng heard these words and seriously had a moment of wanting to die!

Believe in yourself?

This darn thing wasn’t something that could be solved by believing in oneself, was it?

But did her protests have any effect?

They were completely ineffective!

Thus, under the encouraging gazes of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, and the desperate plea for a quick end on Yuan Bao’s face, Gu Changsheng finally turned back around, facing the chessboard directly!

No way out!

This was entirely a matter of a blind cat bumping into a dead rat; she was completely driven to Liangshan with nowhere to retreat!

"God bless me, Angel bless me... No, wait... You guys can’t interfere with this domain! Start over!" With hands clasped together, Gu Changsheng held the two pieces in her palms and couldn’t help but close her eyes, praying sincerely, "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother’s grandmother, Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Grandpa, Dad, Mom..."

Even though Gu Changsheng’s endless mutterings were long, Yuan Bao, clutching her waist and waiting to die, grew more anxious, interrupting Gu Changsheng’s uncompleted prayer, "Wife, it’s not New Year yet, no need for offerings..."

Her chanting included gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, deceased ancestors, and even a remark about eating New Year’s offerings...

Just thinking about it made Yuan Bao break out in goosebumps!

"Darn it! Get out of here!" Her prayer interrupted mid-sentence, the tiny courage Gu Changsheng had just mustered was shattered to pieces!

Yuan Bao was stunned by his wife’s yelling, and quickly shrank his round body behind Gu Changsheng!

"You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You deliberately caused trouble, right? I just wanted them to bless me, why are you interrupting..." Gu Changsheng held two chess pieces, turned around in anger, his gaze seemingly wishing to tear Yuan Bao apart!

"Wife, I was wrong, I’m sorry..." Yuan Bao’s attitude of admitting his mistake was very good.

"Sorry doesn’t help, what’s the use of urban management..." Gu Changsheng glared, oh dear, her courage, who will return it to her?

As Gu Changsheng was scolding Yuan Bao, Shi Wujue, with a face that astonished the world, suddenly narrowed his long eyes, slightly raised his head, and the mask covering half of his face reflected the stars twinkling at the top of the tower, dappled and flowing light...

He didn’t know if he saw wrong, he actually felt that the illusory emerging bright moon suddenly became radiant...

The brilliance was dazzling, and vaguely made him feel a trace of an aura from the Ancient Wilderness!

The faith of their Sand Sea Wolf Tribe, from ancient times to now, still flows a trace of Moon God’s lineage in his body...

This trace of aura, others might not feel it, but how could Shi Wujue not feel it?

At this moment, Shi Wujue’s heart was shocked!

However, he hadn’t had a chance to speak, when Gu Changsheng, interrupted by Yuan Bao, had already exploded with anger!

"Oh dear, I’m done playing, whoever wants to play, go play! Whoever wants to cheat, go cheat!" Gu Changsheng’s bright little face flushed with anger, turned around, and slapped the two chess pieces onto the board!

"Clap!"

The chess pieces landed on the board with two clear sounds!

Although the sound wasn’t loud, everyone present heard it distinctly!

Upon hearing this sound, Gu Changsheng widened her eyes in terror, coming back to her senses!

Damn it!

What did she do?

How did she, in a fit of anger, throw the pieces onto the board?

This...

Isn’t this courting death?

Everyone’s eyes turned to the chessboard in shock...

One black and one white chess piece were thrown on the board, a black piece jumped up, bounced twice, and fell off the board...

And the other white piece also jumped up due to Gu Changsheng’s furious strength, bounced a few times...

Then, as if alive, it found an empty spot and stopped...

Stopped!

"Damn!"

Seeing the white chess piece stop, Gu Changsheng instinctively reached out, grabbed her evildoer with one hand and the stunned Shi Wujue with the other, and jumped back.

Oh dear, they said if the chess piece was placed wrong, people around the board would disappear on the spot!

This is no joke!

Now that the piece is placed, she’s a fool if she doesn’t run!

Moreover, damn it, even blindly guessing would be better, this happened by itself!

This is really...

Yuan Bao, holding Gu Changsheng’s waist, was frightened by Gu Changsheng’s sudden drop of the chess piece and didn’t expect his wife to suddenly move?

So the disaster happened!

"Ouch!"

"Boom!"

"Smack!"

Gu Changsheng, together with Yuan Bao and the others like Qiwowen Du, suddenly fell into a heap, if not for Zhou Mu’s quick action to pull Gu Changsheng, she would have sat straight on Yuan Bao’s belly!

"You’re a useless troublemaker, why are you blocking the way, you’re causing harm and won’t take responsibility!" In the crucial moment of praying, Yuan Bao made her confused and dropped the piece, and in the critical moment of escaping, Yuan Bao blocked the way, Gu Changsheng really found it hard not to explode!

"Wife, I..." Yuan Bao, who fell on the ground, was innocent, his big watery eyes filled with tears, extremely aggrieved.

"You what? You’re just a nuisance, you..."

"Broken!"

Gu Changsheng grabbed Yuan Bao’s plump earlobe and was shouting when suddenly two words rang in her ears, and not reacting in time, Gu Changsheng instinctively turned around, tugged her clothes and took a look, "Where is it broken? If anything is broken, it’s Xiao Er Que’s fault, he must have torn my clothes when he fell..."

"It’s not your clothes that are broken, it’s the chess game..." Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng inspecting her clothes, helplessly shook his head, his face full of affectionate indulgence, appearing godlike.

And Shi Wujue stood there, his whole being somewhat absent-minded.
