Chapter 57: Mutation
After the meal, in the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai's expression was still gloomy, and he didn't say a word during the entire process of washing the dishes.
Yao Yue, who was beside him, also had a cold expression on her face and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
An indescribable feeling of pressure spread through the two women in the kitchen.
Qu Feiyan, who used to chirp like a lark, now shrank her neck like a quail in the inexplicably solemn atmosphere in the kitchen.
As a result, the movement of washing dishes in my hands also unconsciously became lighter.
After all the bowls on the table were as clean as new, Qu Feiyan walked out of the kitchen feeling relieved and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After coming out of the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai's eyes immediately swept towards the courtyard.
When his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, who was sitting on a stone bench, his expression, which had been cold and indifferent just now, unconsciously became a little softer.
After walking up to Chu Qinghe and sitting down, Dongfang Bubai immediately noticed something was wrong.
At this moment, on this stone table, Chu Qinghe was not just warming one pot of wine as he did in the past, but there was an extra pot.
After the three women sat down, Chu Qinghe pointed to the wine pot on his left hand and said, "This pot is yours."
Facing Chu Qinghe's gesture, Qu Feiyan at the side couldn't help but ask: "Is there any difference between these two pots of wine?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "I added a few more herbs to calm the qi and blood and nourish the internal organs."
Listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue on the side knew exactly what Chu Qinghe meant.
Today alone, the two of them have fought three times, and each fight was more fierce than the last.
Although it may not be a problem in the short term, over time, some small problems will accumulate to a greater or lesser extent.
After a few glasses of wine, at Chu Qinghe's signal, Qu Feiyan got up and took the chessboard from Chu Qinghe's room.
A moment later, as the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard intertwined, Yao Yue, who was sipping wine from her glass, glanced to the side.
I didn't care at first.
But when Yao Yue's eyes fell on the chessboard, looking at the strangely arranged black and white chess pieces, she felt a little surprised in her heart.
After observing for a while, I realized that the two people were not playing traditional Go.
After a few games, Yao Yue, who had figured out the simple way to play Go, shook her head slightly and suddenly lost interest.
However, this lack of interest was discovered by Yao .
As Dongfang Bubai and Chu Qinghe played their respective chess pieces, whenever Dongfang Bubai began to fall into a disadvantage, Yaoyue's voice would always be heard from the side.
"Ha! Such a simple game, but you can still lose."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that I have overestimated the brains of some people before."
"Tsk, if you don't want your eyes, you can just donate them to someone else."
…
Just like that, after hearing these words again and again , Dongfang Bubai felt like he was about to explode.
His eyes fiercely swept towards Yao Yuejian, and Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. Don't you know this saying?"
In response to Dongfang Bubai's question, Yao Yue snorted coldly, "I just can't stand stupid people. After ten rounds, I haven't won a single one."
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he threw the chess piece back into the chess box and pushed the chess box in front of Yao Yue, sneering, "If you have the guts, come and win for me."
Seeing this, Yao Yue said bluntly: "Come if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
However, before Yao Yue could pick up the chess piece and put it down, Dongfang Bubai, who had his hands folded in front of his chest, suddenly said, "Also, we have a bet when we play chess, so someone should not be unable to afford to lose."
Yao Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this master not able to afford to lose?"
Then, Yao Yue asked, "Tell me! What's the bet?"
Dongfang Bubai slowly stood up and took out a wooden box from his room. The box was filled with notes that had been stuck on Dongfang Bubai's face when he lost a game of chess in the past few days.
"If you lose, you'll have to put this on your forehead, and you'll be responsible for washing everyone's clothes the next day."
After hearing what Dongfang Bubai said, Yao Yue said with disdain, "That's it?"
Seeing Yao Yue's confident look, Dongfang Bubai sneered repeatedly, then raised his head and said, "Then let's get started!"
Hearing this, Yao Yue didn't say much. She picked up a chess piece and placed it directly on the chessboard.
Dongfang Bubai on the opposite side saw this and waved his finger at the chess box, and a chess piece flipped onto the chessboard.
On the one hand, I have gained a lot of experience during this period, and I have been studying and researching late into the night every day.
I just got to know Go for the first time today.
It is easy to imagine which is better.
However, in just half an hour, Yao Yue's forehead was completely covered with paper strips, and her beautiful and cold face was now completely covered.
But although her face was blocked by the piece of paper, Yao Yue's chest was rising and falling more and more.
Even his hands were clenched into fists beneath his sleeves, and he was obviously very angry.
Next to him, after winning consecutive battles, Dongfang Bubai finally showed a smug smile on his face.
When his beautiful eyes glanced at Yao Yue, Dongfang Bubai sneered, "Oh, I thought you were such a great chess player, but it turns out you're just good at talking."
As Dongfang Bubai said this, Yao Yue snorted coldly and floated directly into her room.
At this point, Dongfang Bubai hummed with satisfaction, then picked up the wine glass on the table and started drinking.
However , when his eyes fell on Chu Qinghe who was standing beside him, Dongfang Bubai frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Facing Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Nothing, I just felt that you are more active today than before."
Having said that, after a pause, Chu Qinghe added: "But it does make her a little more adorable."
"Um?"
Hearing the description in Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But the next moment, Dongfang Bubai came to her senses and snorted softly in response, as if she was slightly dissatisfied with Chu Qinghe's use of the word "cute" to describe her.
However, after this cold snort, as Dongfang Bubai took a sip of the wine in his cup, he inexplicably felt that the wine tasted a little sweeter.
However, just as the three of them were drinking and singing in the courtyard enjoying the night, as the fluctuations of true energy echoed, Dongfang Bubai, who was originally sitting next to Chu Qinghe, seemed to have noticed something and quickly stood up and rushed out of the courtyard.
Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan were already used to this scene and didn't care at all.
However, dozens of breaths later, Dongfang Bubai, who had just gone out, flashed back into the yard again.
Moreover, he did not immediately return to his seat, but instead looked at Chu Qinghe and said in a slightly deep voice: "Li Dequan is dead."
"Um?"
