Chapter 362 The Bet
How strange is it?
It's supposed to be a bathhouse, but it has a huge, spacious lounge area.
Once inside, Fei Yue's cold expression gradually disappeared, and she returned to her cheerful self. She took a deep breath and said, "Phew, I was so bored on the way here."
Huan Die glanced at her. "Fei Yue, didn't we come here to soak in the hot springs?"
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. It'll be more fun if we do some small activities before soaking in the hot spring, don't you think?"
""
I don't think so.
Huan Die glanced around; beside them were various teddy bears, board games, chess, Go, and...
Chess, and video games.
Although it's called a lounge, it's more like a playroom exclusively for Fei Yue.
Seeing Huan Die's annoying way of constantly using words to insult her, Fei Yue hardened her fists. Fei Yue made up her mind that she would make this girl pay a terrible price today.
You have to understand that this is her territory. If you push her too far, she'll have someone throw Huan Die into the hot spring first, and then dump the soaking wet Huan Die on the street.
This poor girl must have attracted a lot of attention on the street.
Fei Yue thought to herself, fuming.
"Actually, it's okay for us to have some fun."
At this moment, Bai Cha Xia Zi saw that Fei Yue looked somewhat embarrassed and angry, so she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Upon hearing that someone was willing to play with her, Fei Yue's expression changed instantly, her angry face breaking into a happy smile.
"Let's play Ludo."
Seeing the joy on Fei Yue's face, Bai Cha Xia Zi felt a pang of sympathy. She couldn't help but think of some special scenes from novels and anime.
Is it because Fei Yue grew up in such a complicated environment that she had very few playmates when she was young, which is why she kept pestering Bai Xiaodie?
Thinking of this, Bai Cha Xia Zi walked to Huan Die's side and tugged at her sleeve, "Xiao Die, why don't we play a few rounds with Fei Yue?"
Will Fei Yue lack care?
Huan Die would never believe it; she was more inclined to believe that the other party was preparing some kind of prank.
However, under Bai Cha Xia Zi's enthusiastic invitation, Huan Die didn't say much.
Let's play a few rounds then.
Contrary to what Huan Die had imagined, they actually played several rounds of Ludo, acting just like little kids.
There are many play equipment in this room, but how should I put it?
Fei Yue is really bad at the game, and she's the kind of person who's bad at the game but has a huge gaming addiction.
Whether playing Ludo, Monopoly, or Gomoku, she always lost the most. But Fei Yue wasn't sad at all; on the contrary, she was very happy. Huan Die almost believed her because of her seemingly bad but playful demeanor.
"It's not fun, it's not fun at all, chess is not fun at all, it's not interesting at all."
Looking at the scene of certain defeat before her, Fei Yue spread her little hands and threw herself onto the black and white bear behind her, rolling around on it with a whimper, just like a child who couldn't handle a game.
Her gaze fell upon the chessboard beside her, and as if suddenly remembering something, she jumped up excitedly, "Let's play chess! I'm sure I can crush you all with this!"
Fei Yue played chess with Bai Cha Xia Zi three times, winning two and losing one. Then she started playing with Huan Die, losing all three games. Doesn't that damned Bai Xiao Die understand the most basic social etiquette?
Ah!
For some reason, when Huan Die saw Fei Yue's exasperated appearance, she suddenly felt that continuing to play along with her wasn't such a bad idea.
While it's somewhat unethical to bully weaker opponents, it's a different story if you're bullying a little witch in front of you.
Fei Yue set up the chessboard, and Huan Die looked at Bai Cha Xia Zi beside her. The latter quickly shook her head and said, "You guys can play. I've never played chess before and I don't know how to play it very well."
Since that's the case, then Illusion Butterfly will have to go herself.
clap clap clap!
At that moment, Fei Yue suddenly clapped her hands, and a graceful figure quietly pushed open the door and entered the game room.
The young girl wore a classic black and white maid outfit, the black skirt accentuated by white lace trim, simple yet charming. Under the dim light, her delicate white stockings, as pure and flawless as snow, contrasted sharply with the black base color, making them particularly eye-catching.
With light steps, she placed a similar maid outfit aside and left.
At this moment, Fei Yue spoke, her proud little face full of confidence: "Actually, I've been hiding my strength at the beginning, but now I'm going to get serious. See this maid outfit? Whoever loses this round will have to wear this."
Fei Yue slightly raised her chin towards Huan Die, her eyes filled with provocation.
Normally, Huan Die would definitely agree; she wouldn't miss any opportunity for a beautiful girl to wear a maid outfit.
But now, looking at Fei Yue's mischievous appearance, Huan Die calmed down. She wasn't an all-around genius, and she was just a beginner in chess. There was no need to play so big.
After all, it was always others who dressed up as maids for her to see; when had she ever dressed up as a maid for anyone else?
Seeing that Huan Die seemed a little hesitant, Fei Yue immediately put on her sarcastic expression, "Tsk tsk tsk, is Little Die scared?"
"Since Bai Xiaodie is scared, let's change the bet to something smaller. Whoever loses has to give the winner a massage or back rub. How about that? That's a much more lenient offer."
Huan Die shook her head and said, "There's no need. Let's just combine the two bets into one. Whoever loses the first round has to wear a maid outfit, and whoever loses the second round has to give the winner a back massage and call them 'master' while doing so. How about that?"
Looking at the other person's confident smile, Huan Die smiled back.
If the other party doesn't know how to play, that's fine.
If the other party really knows how to play, then she has no choice but to cheat. Just because she doesn't know how to play doesn't mean that other abyssal creatures don't know how to play.
Actually, she didn't want to cheat, but she couldn't resist the smug look on the girl's face that was so overly effeminate.
She felt uncomfortable if she didn't teach the other person a lesson.
"Okay, it's settled then. Shiracha Natsuko will be the referee."
"Well... weren't you two going a bit too far, Bai Xiaodie and Fei Yue?"
Bai Chaxia glanced at the maid outfit on the sofa, then at the two exquisitely beautiful girls, a hint of worry on her face.
Although it's obvious that whoever wears the maid outfit will look great.
But wouldn't this affect their friendship?
friendship?
But it seems that Bai Xiaodie and Fei Yue don't actually have this thing.
As the flags of both sides fluttered, the maid battle officially began.
"Little Butterfly, which region of Xia Kingdom did you live in before Dongying City?"
"Xiaodie, do you have a crush on any boy in your class?"
"Little Butterfly, do you like magical girls?"
'
""
Fei Yue kept talking throughout the process of moving the flag.
However, Huan Die seemed not to have heard these questions and focused intently on playing chess. After several rounds of play, she could tell that her opponent's chess skills were actually quite average, and the two of them were evenly matched.
If she were even slightly more skilled, she could have utterly annihilated her opponent, silencing them early on and forcing them to reluctantly and affectionately call out, "Master~".
Taking advantage of the subtle flaw that Fei Yue inadvertently revealed while speaking, her bishop was exposed and not adequately protected.
Huan Die immediately seized the opportunity, first using her troops to restrain Fei Yue's queen, and then cleverly maneuvering her knights to prepare for a fatal blow.
At this moment, the game instantly became tense.
Upon seeing the international chessboard brimming with murderous intent, Fei Yue smiled faintly, "Little Butterfly-chan, do you really think you can beat me like this~?"
"Since you're so persistent, Little Butterfly, I'm sorry, but it seems you're destined to become my maid today!"
"Tsk."
Huan Die didn't take Fei Yue's words to heart at all. The other party was already in a predicament of being surrounded on all sides. She just needed to slowly exhaust the opponent's pieces.
But with the next move, Fei Yue suddenly sent Huan Die a pawn, and after this move, the entire chessboard was instantly reversed. At this point, it was too late for Huan Die to ask for help.
In the following rounds, Fei Yue stopped speaking. Her chess skills suddenly improved dramatically. She quickly adjusted her forces using the open space on the chessboard, forcing Huan Die's king into a corner.
Finally, after a brilliant combination attack, Fei Yue successfully delivered a checkmate, leaving the King of Illusionary Butterfly in an unsolvable predicament, and he fell into complete silence.
The opponent's move was a masterful blend of deception and reality, demonstrating exceptional skill.
Fei Yue smiled and pointed to the room next door: "Little Butterfly, that's the changing room, please~"
Huan Die gave the girl a deep look; she accepted her defeat this time.
Meeting Huan Die's complicated gaze, Fei Yue smiled and walked up to her, handing her the maid outfit. "Ora, ora, Xiao Die-chan, don't look at me like that. A bet is a bet. Hurry up and change your clothes so we can start the second round right away."
Holding the black and white maid outfit in her hand, Huan Die walked into the dressing room with an indifferent expression.
After the girl's figure disappeared from the room, Fei Yue quietly approached Bai Cha Xia Zi and urged, "This maid outfit looks very pretty, but it's very troublesome to put on. Do you think we should go into the dressing room and help Xiao Die-chan?"
"This isn't a good idea."
Bai Chaxia swallowed hard; it wasn't that she was attracted to Xiaodie's beauty.
But then she recalled that when the maid had walked in earlier, her maid outfit looked very exquisite and indeed seemed quite troublesome to put on.
"What does it matter? We're all girls, and our bodies are the same. The only difference is who's bigger and who's smaller."
"No, no."
Bai Cha Xiazi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head firmly.
"Alright, it seems I'll have to go help."
Fei Yue tiptoed to the door of the dressing room, and was about to take out her spare key to open the door when she found that Huan Die had already changed into a maid's outfit and come out.
The maid outfit that Huan Die was wearing was clearly different from the maid girl she had just seen. This maid outfit was obviously more exquisite than the previous one. The outfit was mainly black and white, with delicate silver-gray lines outlining it. The cuffs and hem were inlaid with intricate lace trim, and the pure white apron was decorated with small bows.
Although Huan Die had never worn a maid outfit, Hoshino Seri had. After undressing a few times, she had a fairly good understanding of how to wear a maid outfit.
"Wow, Xiaodie-chan is so cute!" Fei Yue circled Huandie three times to the left and three times to the right, sighing, "She's so much cuter and prettier than the maids in my house."
Without a second thought, she reached for her phone to take a picture, but Huan Die was faster, snatching the phone from her. She looked coldly at the girl and said, "Our game isn't over yet!"
From Fei Yue's perspective, this was a sign that the other party had become infatuated.
"Hehe, come on, since Little Butterfly is already so eager to give me a massage, I, as her host, can't very well refuse, can I?"
"snort."
Phantom Butterfly snorted coldly, while on the other side, the demon Kurt in the Abyss Cyberspace was already ready.
The upcoming competition is not only about Prince Huan Die's dignity, but also a crucial opportunity for him to be rescued from the cold palace and regain his favor.
As the two took their seats, Shiracha Natsuko, who was watching from the sidelines, straightened her posture slightly. She clearly noticed that the two girls next to the chess pieces seemed to have changed their appearance.
This is no longer a game of chess; it's a real battle where two armies are facing each other across the distance, and war is about to break out.
The white flag still went first. At first, Fei Yue wanted to continue to provoke Huan Die a few more times. After all, in the last round, she had basically figured out her opponent's strengths and weaknesses, so she didn't think she would lose.
But after only a few steps, she sensed something was wrong; her opponent's skill level was completely different from the previous game.
Fei Yue looked up, and if the figure in front of her wasn't still the familiar girl, she would have thought that the other person had been replaced.
"Hmph, so Little Butterfly-chan also likes to play dumb to fool others!"
Fei Yue stopped being careless and began to focus all her attention on the chessboard.
Meanwhile, Bai Chaxiazi, who was standing to the side, glanced cautiously at Bai Xiaodie. At this moment, Bai Xiaodie had long hair draped over her shoulders and skin as white as snow. She was like a plum blossom blooming alone in winter, beautiful yet aloof.
Especially after putting on that exquisite maid outfit, this cold girl lost her initial aloofness and instead exuded a calm and elegant demeanor.
So, as if possessed, Bai Cha Xia Zi walked to the side, took out her phone, and secretly took a picture of the girl in front of her.
By the time she realized this was a despicable act of voyeurism and was about to delete the photos, the battle between Fei Yue and Bai Xiaodie was already over.
Fei Yue lost. Her face was full of disbelief. She couldn't understand why the girl, whose chess skills were terrible in the first game, could attack so fiercely in the second game.
Even after winning, Huan Die remained silent, crossing her arms in front of her chest and looking at her opponent with a playful expression.
Fei Yue bit her cherry lips, just about to say something to Huan Die.
The dignified maid who had just entered the room carrying the dress suddenly rushed in, shouting, "Miss, run!"
"The 'Swelling Face Group' and the 'Sakura Capital Group' are together again..."
""
Before she could finish speaking, a cold blade suddenly pierced through the girl's chest, and crimson blood splattered onto the snow-white carpet in the game room.
