Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 138: Relevant Personel

Several minutes after Luo Wusheng entered the room.

“…You call this winning?”

Yue Xuanji looked at the young man in front of her with a look as if she were looking at a fool.

And Luo Wusheng, sitting across from her, pointed to the row of chess pieces on the board and nodded seriously, “Yes, I won.”

The white-haired loli fell into deep thought.

Luo Wusheng naturally knew what she was thinking.

Most likely, she was wondering if there was something wrong with this person’s brain.

But he was also quite helpless.

He only knew how to play this particular kind of black-and-white chess; what else could he do?

Did he not know what kind of chess someone as high-level as Yue Xuanji liked to play? If he knew how to play, wouldn’t he want to play a few high-level games to elevate his status?

The problem was that he didn’t know how.

So, he could only try to bring his opponent’s skill level to his own level and rely on his extensive experience to defeat them.

But the tower master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, who claims to have predicted everything, surprisingly didn’t see through his little plan. It’s either he is more stealthier than he originally thought, or she thinks that such a small matter doesn’t require the use of her divination skills?

It’s most likely the latter.

As Luo Wusheng was thinking, he heard Yue Xuanji, after some contemplation, not only not angry but also let out a light laugh. “I see, it’s a game with these rules… It suits someone like you.”

‘You mean it suits someone as coarse and rough as me?’

He silently complained in his heart, but Luo Wusheng’s expression remained unchanged, and he cleared his throat.

“Ahem, Miss Yue, are you here at this moment just to play chess with me? Is there anything specific to note about collecting good fortune this time?”

“Hmm? Notes on collecting good fortune… Didn’t I already give you the jade scroll? You will naturally know what preparations I’ve made and what to pay attention to when the time comes.” Yue Xuanji swayed her small head. “Don’t worry, those twenty pieces of Star-Moon Jade you owe are definitely worth it.”

Luo Wusheng looked puzzled. “So, Miss Yue, why are you here now?”

“I saw you waiting in the Immortal Pavilion earlier, and I was afraid you’d get bored, so I came to pass the time with you.”

‘???’

What kind of reason is that? Did she really come specifically to play chess with him?

‘But the meaning in this sentence… Perhaps the matter of good fortune doesn’t start tomorrow as soon as it arrives? Otherwise, if we accidentally spend too much time playing chess, wouldn’t it delay things?’

While making this conjecture in his heart, Luo Wusheng looked at the opposite side, only to see that the pieces just placed on the chessboard had disappeared orderly in a few flashes.

And in Yue Xuanji’s hand, wearing the Star-Moon Jade necklace, new chess pieces appeared.

“Let’s play another game according to the rules you mentioned earlier. There’s still plenty of time…”

The little girl placed the chess piece on the board.

Luo Wusheng hesitated for a moment but didn’t want to lose face in front of his backer, so he placed a piece as well.

“Why did Miss Yue hide her aura?”

Seizing the opportunity, Luo Wusheng asked about the matter of Little Yuli.

“Why?… Why don’t you guess?”

“Could it’s because she is related to the good fortune?”

Listening to Luo Wusheng’s guess/question, Yue Xuanji’s lips curled up slightly, but she didn’t rush to answer. Instead, after making a move, she said with a playful smile:

“Well… There are quite a few people related to your good fortune…”

…

Deep in the Imperial Palace.

The Empress, standing alone in the palace, wore a royal robe, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

For some reason, the dragon fortune she had cultivated within her had become unusually active at this moment.

A stirring dragon fortune was not a good sign.

“What’s going to happen again?”

She furrowed her delicate brows.

The incident of the dragon fortune taking the form of a missing eye had already been strange enough, and now, just a few days later, a change had occurred again in her inner dragon fortune.

Could it be that there were still other demonic races lurking in the royal city, capable of using mysterious powers to influence the dragon fortune she had cultivated within herself?

But this was too absurd. What kind of powerful demon could silently and imperceptibly accomplish such a thing?

After some thought, the Empress gently raised her hand.

Starlight gathered under her palm, forming the shape of a dragon.

Soon, the Empress spotted a glowing point.

‘Is it the problem with the eye again?’

Looking at the dragon-shaped star mist above, in the hollow and illusory pupils, there was a continuous rolling of starlight, as if something was gestating within. This stunning young empress finally showed a puzzled expression.

As the owner of these dragon fortune, she was equally puzzled by what was happening.

Could it be that these dragon fortunes were automatically repairing the lost eyeballs?

Because she had never encountered such a situation before, and there was no record of it in the ancient texts left by her predecessors. This forced her to make guesses about these changes and be prepared for any unexpected events.

Time passed second by second.

Gradually, this day entered its true ending.

And the thing in the dragon-shaped star mist’s pupils became clearer during this process, at least now it looked like a ring.

This ring seemed somewhat familiar…

Just as the empress had this thought in her mind, the turbulence of the dragon fortune suddenly stopped.

The time was set at the moment when two days met.

In the empty pupils of the dragon fortune’ star mist, the thing that had been gestating for a long time suddenly took shape.

Before the empress, with her beautiful face, could clearly see the appearance of that thing, it turned into a stream of light and fell onto her right wrist.

Feeling the unfamiliar but somewhat familiar touch, the empress was completely stunned.

‘How is this possible…’

Looking at the beautiful moon jade ring made primarily of the light of three stars that appeared on her wrist, she felt absurdity.

This jade ring was exactly the same as the starry moon jade ring that had been given to her by a certain disciple of the Demon Sect in a dream!

But that was clearly just a dream!

As the ruler of the immortal nation, the young girl was confused, and she even began to suspect that she was in a dream.

But after realizing that this was not a dream, the image of a certain young man began to appear in her mind.

“Could the changes in the dragon fortune really be related to him? But…”

All the contact with that disciple of the Demon Sect had clearly been with her mundane body, and she had not even spoken a word to him in her empress form… If this jade ring were to appear, it should have appeared on her mundane body’s wrist, not in her hand like it was now…

Even after synchronizing the memories with her mundane body for the past two days, she had not found any anomalies like this.

‘It seems… I have to meet him in person this time.’

The empress’s eyes flickered, and her heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Actually, she had initially planned to meet the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect as the empress of the immortal nation and had many questions to ask him formally.

But since she had heard Wutong’s words and made some judgments earlier, these past two days, she had often felt inexplicable emotions whenever she thought of the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect. In the end, she kept delaying this meeting with various excuses.

Even three days ago, when her mortal incarnation met Luo Wusheng, she had to rely on her strong mental fortitude and the barrier of her mask to avoid revealing any flaws.

But now, since she had decided to meet him formally, as the ruler of the immortal nation, she would not be wishy-washy.

“Yes… After daybreak, I will personally go and find him.”

Since there are things he needs to confirm, it’s better to meet with him privately rather than bringing attention to it with a public audience.
