Donor nodded. âAlright!â
Xuanyuan Chen placed the white chess piece beside Donorâs chess piece. âI bet they wonât succeed.â Xuanyuan Chen had known Beatrice since he was young. He had seen clearly how much she hated men. He didnât think a person like Beatrice could marry a man, let alone a weakling like Feng Yuncheng.
Donor also picked up his chess piece and engraved a row of words on it. âMy bet is a bottle of holy water.â
The Holy Water of Light was much more precious than the puppet.
Seeing this, more and more students followed suit and placed their white stones.
In the end, only Yu Huang, Mo Yuelou, and Estelle had yet to place their bets.
The reason Estelle didnât bet was because he was poor and couldnât take out a decent wager. Knowing how poor Estelle was, Donor skipped over Estelle and swept his gaze towards Yu Huang.
Everyone looked at Yu Huang.
Fang Peipei also smiled and said, âYu Huang, youâre good friends with Fourth Brother. Are you too embarrassed to play with us?â
Only then did Yu Huang walk to the table.
She stared at the pile of white stones on the left for two seconds before finally extending her right hand. However, her hand didnât reach into the white Go jar, but fell into the black Go jar.
Seeing this, Donor exclaimed, âAre you planning to support your buddy to the end?â
âHow loyal!â
......
Even though she knew that Beatrice and Feng Yun wouldnât succeed, Yu Huang still chose to be a black piece. If this wasnât out of loyalty, what was it?
Yu Huang used her spiritual power to carve two words on the chess pieceâ
[Villa.]
âIâve discussed it with Sheng Xiao before. If a good friend is getting married, Iâll give him a villa. So, my wager is a villa.â Then, Yu Huang threw the black chess piece to the right of the chessboard.
The first black star finally appeared on the clean table.
Donor asked her, âWhich villa? Donât tell me itâs a villa in a rural area. It wonât be worth much.â
âFrom Jingdu.â
Donor nodded. âThatâs more like it.â Donor looked at Mo Yuelou again. âSecond Brother Mo, whatâs your choice?â Donor was an elven prince, and Mo Yuelou was the prince of the Divine Moon King. The two countries had dealings with each other, so they were old acquaintances.
Now that they were both students of the Holy Spirit Academy, it was appropriate for Donor to address Mo Yuelou as Second Brother Mo.
Donor thought that since Mo Yuelou was Beatriceâs closest relative, he knew how afraid Beatrice was of men better than anyone. Donor thought that Mo Yuelou didnât approve of Feng Yuncheng being with Beatrice.
The others thought so too.
However, Mo Yuelou and Yu Huang extended their hands towards the black Go jar.
Seeing this, Donorâs smile froze for a second, but it quickly appeared again. âSecond Brother Mo, you also think that theyâll start dating?â
Mo Yuelou didnât answer. âI hope it works.â
There was a cage in Beatriceâs heart that imprisoned her real soul. It wasnât easy for his sister to muster up the courage to step out of the cage. Mo Yuelou hoped that Beatrice could really walk out of the cage, escape the psychological cage, and be completely free.
Therefore, he chose the black piece.
Mo Yuelou wrote a sentence on the chess pieceâ
[A quarter of my wealth.]
When Xuanyuan Chen saw the words Mo Yuelou had written on the black piece, he was surprised and asked, âWhy a quarter?â
Mo Yuelou said, âMy wealth is divided into four parts. One is for the country, one is for the families of the soldiers who died in battle for the country, one is for my future lover and child, and the last is the dowry I reserved for my sister.â
He placed the black piece on the chessboard and said, âOne day, on the day of Cuisiâs wedding, letâs open this chessboard together. I will definitely let my only sister get married in a glorious manner.â
Hearing this, the students stopped joking.
They suddenly realized that it was blasphemy to start this bet.
No relationship should be made fun of.
So what if Fourth Brother was weak?
He dared to accept Beatriceâs challenge and became her first boyfriend. This was impressive in itself. He was indeed weak, but his attitude towards love was much braver than people like them.
Beatriceâs beauty was top-notch even in the Holy Spirit Academy. Her sexy figure, flawless appearance, powerful combat strength, and powerful background were all her shining points.
Her popularity in the academy was comparable to Yu Huangâs.
Although Yu Huang was beautiful and dazzling, she was already taken. The person behind her was the strongest student, Sheng Xiao.
Who would dare to snatch Sheng Xiaoâs woman?
Before they could even reach the corner of Yu Huangâs shirt, Sheng Xiao would raise his forty-meter-long knife and charge at them.
Thus, the single and beautiful Beatrice became the idol of other single men, their dream goddess. But who among them dared to pursue love as bravely as Feng Yuncheng did?
No one did.
Just based on this, they had no right to look down on Feng Yuncheng.
After figuring this out, some male students couldnât help but ask Donor, âCan we go back on our words? I want to vote for the black piece.â Even Mo Yuelou believed that the two of them could succeed. They also felt that Beatrice and Feng Yuncheng could succeed.
At this moment, Yu Huang took a step forward and placed her seal on the chessboard. She said, âThe bet has been made, so you canât go back on it.â She slapped the chessboard into the sky, and it hung high above the activity room.
Yu Huang clapped her hands and said, âIâve already sealed the chessboard. The next time itâs opened, either Fourth Brother and Beatrice will get married, or theyâll break up.â
âOkay!â
After making the bet, Yu Huang returned to the dormitory.
When she passed by the third floor where the boys lived, she saw Sheng Xiao waiting there.
Sheng Xiao stood in the stairwell from the third floor to the fourth floor. He leaned against the armrest and his tall figure cast a long shadow on the stairs. The shadow extended to Yu Huangâs toes.
Yu Huang stopped and looked up at Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao smiled and asked, âI heard that Fourth Brother and Her Highness started dating?â
âI guess so.â
Fourth Brother had finally wooed the person he loved. Yu Huang was quite happy for him. Her mood, which was gloomy because of the Grand State Masterâs matter, became much better. âThey even made a bet. The others bet that the two of them wonât succeed. Only the prince and I bet that the two of them will succeed.â
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked Yu Huang, âWhy do you think they started dating?â
Yu Huang walked up to Sheng Xiao. Her toes were on the same level as Sheng Xiaoâs, and were squeezed between Sheng Xiaoâs feet. Half of her feet were hanging outside the stairs. Sheng Xiao was worried that she would fall back, so he wrapped his arms around Yu Huangâs waist.
This posture was very ambiguous and charming.
Yu Huang was much shorter than Sheng Xiao. She raised her head and rubbed her forehead against Sheng Xiaoâs chin. A faint stubble on his chin brushed past her forehead. It was itchy.
Yu Huang liked this feeling very much.
She rubbed her face against him gently and said softly, âAlthough Fourth Brother is a little weak, who dares to say that they canât get together? Back then, I was so ugly, but I even got you.â Only with deep affection could an ugly woman get a handsome man.
Besides, Feng Yuncheng had a good appearance.
Sheng Xiao couldnât help but smile when he heard Yu Huangâs words. He said, âMy feelings for you have nothing to do with your looks. Even if you become ugly, I will still like you.â She was who he wanted but couldnât get in his previous life. She was also precious in this life.
The first time he saw her, he was attracted by the soul under her ugly appearance.
Therefore, in a relationship, good looks was only a plus. A compatible soul was a must.
Yu Huang was Sheng Xiaoâs must.
