Chapter 217: Battle with Rival in Love (Part 1)

Yang Dingtian let out a smile without paying any mind.

However, Su Mei then said, “Alright, I do hope you win. That Yan Bieqin might be handsome, cool, and mysterious, but it seems like he has a hidden scheme. It is unknown what his objective is for approaching Madam. It is too dangerous.”

“Are you not afraid that I might have ulterior motives for approaching your Madam?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Did you previously know that Madam Qin was the owner of the auction house?” Su Mei asked.

Yang Dingtian shook his head.

“Did you previously know that Madam Qin was the true dictator of the entire West Prefecture City?” Su Mei questioned again.

Yang Dingtian shook his head again.

“That is why.” Su Mei laughed delicately and said, “If you don’t know anything, how can you have any motive? You are just like the other men who are attracted to Madam’s authority and beauty.”

Immediately after, Su Mei took a deep glance at Yang Dingtian and hesitated like she had something to say.

“What did you want to say?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Su Mei turned her face to the other side and said, “It doesn’t matter which one of you wins, the winner will only be able to accompany the Madam for half a month. She is a person that enamor with new people. Thus, to the Madam, your result is a minor matter, but to me, it is a matter that will decide my fate. So, I hope that you can win. Do you understand?”

Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished as he didn’t understand the meaning of Su Mei’s words.

“Alright, what kind of game are you designing? What tools do you need? Have you already thought about it?” Su Mei said, “That Yan Bieqin seems very formidable and he had wandered the world too. He must be proficient in games. So, your game must be sufficiently stunning to win against him.”

“I have already thought about it.” Yang Dingtian said, “It might not be stunning, but it is sufficiently long, and when Madam is extremely bored, she can even play alone.”

“Shameless.” When Su Mei heard Yang Dingtian’s words, she immediately pinched Yang Dingtian and blushed.

Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but get astonished. What exactly was she thinking?

“I can tell you that doing those things will surely fail.” Su Mei spoke with a red face, “Just in this underground palace, there is nothing that cannot be found. Moreover, they are made with brilliant craftsmanship. So, you better stop with your skewed ideas, or you will definitely lose.”

Yang Dingtian finally understood what Su Mei was thinking about and was utterly speechless. “What kind of rubbish are you thinking about? Go, find one square-shaped golden plate which is about one foot on all sides. Also, help me find two pieces of soft gems that are slightly bigger. One of them should be white, and the other should be black.”

Su Mei immediately turned around and walked into the warehouse to take the things that Yang Dingtian wanted.

A golden square plate and two large pieces of gems, one white and one black.

Yang Dingtian picked up a sword and drew lines on the golden plate. There were a total of 19 lines horizontally and vertically. Every line had an equal distance between them.

Afterward, he used a sharp sword to cut the gems into small pieces. There were 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces.

Finally, he used mystic qi on his finger to grind off the rough edges of the small pieces and made them all oblate and smooth.

That’s right. Yang Dingtian was making Go, a game that no one would get sick from playing. Five-in-a-row should be simpler, but with Madam Qin’s absolute intelligence and deep schemes, the boundless game of Go should be to her liking.

“Is it done?” Su Mei asked.

Yang Dingtian nodded.

Su Mei instantly frowned and said, “What is so fun about this thing? It looks so simple and boring. You are going to lose for sure.”

“That might not be the case.” Yang Dingtian commented.

The game of Go might be overly complicated for most people, but it surely wasn’t boring.

If Madam Qin didn’t like the complexity of Go, it could be used as Five-in-a-row, which was simpler and sufficiently interesting.

***************************************

Four hours passed by very quickly. Yang Dingtian carried the game and a long scroll of game rules before entering Madam Qin’s private chamber again.

At this moment, Qin Mengli was still in her sweet dreams, while that Yan Bieqin was already standing and waiting by the side while holding a box. He looked rather pale, and it seemed that he had consumed an incredible amount of energy. But his charm wasn’t affected at all.

Seeing the item in Yang Dingtian’s hand, Yan Bieqin immediately revealed a trace of disdain in his eyes. This person was truly arrogant and straightforward.

“It is already time? This nap was truly dull as well.” Qin Mengli woke up inside the beaded curtain and opened her charming eyes before stretching her body.

“Have the two of you designed your games?” Qin Mengli asked.

“It is already done, Madam.” Yang Dingtian and Yan Bieqin answered.

Qin Mengli asked, “Which of you shall present first?”

“Let me go first.” Yan Bieqin said, “After Madam plays my game, you might not need to play other games.”

This Yan Bieqin was truly arrogant.

“Alright, you shall start first.” Qin Mengli spoke tenderly, “I do like to see if such a good-looking man, like you, actually has some incredible ideas.”

“I will not let Madam down.” Yan Bieqin responded.

Immediately after, he walked in front of Qin Mengli’s couch and put down the giant box.

Yang Dingtian was also filled with curiosity. What kind of game would Yan Bieqin present?

When the box was opened, there was a nearly transparent jade board on the inside. It was covered with extremely complicated patterns, and those mystical patterns were rushing around on the board.

Yang Dingtian might not know what this thing was, but it still looked very valuable and rare.

“This is the Mystic Enchanting Jade?” Qin Mengli cried out in surprise while her beautiful eyes were instantly lit up.

“Madam has great eyes.” Yan Bieqin said.

Su Mei instantly leaned over to Yang Dingtian’s ear and whispered, “Just his Mystic Enchanting Jade is enough for you to lose.”

Yang Dingtian looked at this piece of Mystic Enchanting Jade and was amazed in his heart. Who exactly was this Yan Bieqin? He was actually able to obtain such a huge piece of Mystic Enchanting Jade. It was one foot in size.

This Mystic Enchanting Jade was a kind of lifeform, but it was a rock without a soul.

When it was born, it was a lump of energy. After hundreds of years to one thousand years, it would turn into an active fluid. After another hundred to one thousand years, it would then turn into a transparent jade solid form. Just a fist-size would be priceless, but Yan Bieqin actually possessed such a large piece.

This item’s greatest usage was for reconstructing a soul. When every high-classed martial artist was cultivating their martial soul, they would need to use the Mystic Enchanting Jade because after a demonic beast was refined into a martial soul, there won’t be any place for the martial soul to reside in. Hence, they would have to put the martial soul into this Mystic Enchanting Jade temporarily.

Afterward, the martial artist would carry this Mystic Enchanting Jade with the martial soul and conduct a long-term mutual nurturing. This way, the martial soul would gradually recognize its owner. When the martial artist could control the martial soul in battle as they desired, it would become a true martial soul.

Thus, most of the time, martial artists would forge the Mystic Enchanting Jade into sword hilts, armors, or wristbands. This would guarantee that the martial soul would spend time with the martial artist at every moment.

Furthermore, the longer the age of the Mystic Enchanting Jade, the larger the surface area, which meant that it could contain even more powerful martial souls.

It meant that this Mystic Enchanting Jade, which Yan Bieqin offered, had a value that exceeded the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art that Yang Dingtian had obtained.

This Madam Qin might be one of the wealthiest people in the world, but she was still amazed when she saw the giant Mystic Enchanting Jade that Yan Bieqin presented. To tell the truth, she had never seen such a huge Mystic Enchanting Jade before.

That was why Su Mei immediately told Yang Dingtian he was going to lose.

Withdrawing her amazed eyes, Qin Mengli said, “Darling, this is not a presentation of treasure but the design of the game.”

“It is a game.” Yan Bieqin laughed and said, “Will Madam please put your hand on this Mystic Enchanting Jade?”

“What are you doing?” Qin Mengli rolled her eyes at him and placed her snow-white hand on the Mystic Enchanting Jade.

“Please pour in a little bit of your mystic qi and also your spirit into the Mystic Enchanting Jade.” Yan Bieqin explained.

Madam Qin revealed a curious expression and acted according to Yan Bieqin’s instruction as she poured in her mystic qi and spirit.

Instantly, a miracle happened.

There was a pink radiance that started to gather on the Mystic Enchanting Jade. In the beginning, it was pale, then it got concentrated and brighter. Finally, the radiance formed a small delicate figure, and it was actually Qin Mengli.

It was a five-inches tall Qin Mengli. But in terms of appearance and figure, it looked exactly the same as Qin Mengli. It might be only five-inches tall, but it was lively and charming.

“Eh…”

At this moment, not only Qin Mengli, even Su Mei and Yang Dingtian were revealing expressions of surprise and disbelief.

“Madam, you can use your spirit to control this miniature Madam Qin.” Yan Bieqin explained.

Madam Qin acted accordingly and used her spirit to control this miniature figure.

Suddenly, the miniature figure on the Mystic Enchanting Jade started to dance. The movements were wonderful, and the postures were elegant. It floated and fluttered around on the jade board. It looked magnificent and was alluring.

At this same moment, Yan Bieqin had also poured in his mystic qi and spirit into the Mystic Enchanting Jade. Instantly, a miniature Yan Bieqin appeared on the jade board. It was also about five-inch tall and looked exactly the same as Yang Bieqin.

Subsequently, the two miniature figures shared a dance on the jade board. They appeared to have a vague relationship, as one would retreat while the other advanced with resistance and bashfulness.

Madam Qin had alluring dance movements, while Yan Bieqin had elegant and teasing dance moves, while his eyes were filled with aggressiveness.

The duo was getting closer to each other, and the atmosphere was getting passionate. Qin Mengli’s face had even revealed a trace of blush.

To be truthful, she already forgot how long ago she had been this shy.

Finally, on the jade board, Yan Bieqin made a turn with his arms and was about to embrace Qin Mengli.

Qin Mengli’s miniature figure gently avoided and rapidly retreated before vanishing into the jade board.

Afterward, Madam Qin’s small hand left the Mystic Enchanting Jade before she rolled her eyes at Yan Bieqin and said, “Such a rare treasure was actually turned into a toy to please a woman. Aren’t you afraid you might invite the wrath of heavens?”
