[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

How does it feel to be targeted in the area where you are best?
Li Xunhuan actually didn't feel anything. After all, the combined age of the Third Princess and the little prince was not as big as his shoe size. No middle-aged man would find pleasure in bullying children. What happened today was not a "matter" to him. It was just a game.

He didn't care, but the little princess was really happy. She was humming a song on the way back home and looked really happy.

"Do you want to learn?" Li Xunhuan suddenly asked.

The little princess' voice jumped a little: "Can you teach me?" Then she quickly fell down: "What's the point of me learning? I'm going to die anyway."

"Not necessarily." Li Xun Huan said: "As long as you are willing to give up your wish, I will leave your body, and then your agreement with the game will be invalid. You can continue to be your princess and live freely."

The little princess snorted coldly, and said after a while: "I knew it. After all, you don't want to help me at all! You don't want the prince consort to fall in love with me, and you don't want to hurt that bitch! Even if I get nothing, I'm just trapped in this body, watching you doing nothing all day long!"

"I have nothing to do, so you have the chance to regret it, right?"

The little princess was silent.

The carriage drove slowly along the long street, its wheels rolling over the road, making rumbling sounds. The vendors on both sides of the street were shouting. Now the sun was setting, and it was time for feeding. Tempting aromas came from the big pots, especially the smell of roasted meat coming from somewhere. The smell of smoke came in directly through the curtains.

Li Xun Huan knocked on the carriage wall, and the carriage stopped. Two maids slightly opened the curtains, and another maid in bright clothes and a hairpin bowed and asked, "What do you want, Your Highness?"

"I smell the aroma of barbecue. It's probably not far from here. Go buy some."

After a while, dozens of grilled meats skewered on bamboo sticks appeared on an exquisitely carved black lacquer plate. The bamboo sticks had been blackened by the smoke and the meat seemed a little burnt, but Li Xunhuan didn't care. He took the skewers and started eating, ignoring the jade bowl and silver chopsticks beside him.

"This meat is good. It must be fresh wild boar meat. It has fat and lean meat. But it was roasted a little too much. Meat like this only needs to be marinated with salt. It tastes good even without any spices."

The little princess sneered: "You said that as if it is a hobby for the poor to kowtow to the rich. Don't you think about what kind of people are the ones who set up stalls on the street? What kind of people are the ones who eat at the street stalls? For such people, eating meat once is already a luxury, so what kind of spices do they expect?"

Li Xun Huan was surprised: "I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess also understands the sufferings of the people."

"Humph!"

He had finished eating the skewers. He wiped his hands and mouth with a towel and said with a smile, "Yes, ordinary people live such a hard life that it is not easy to even eat meat, but they still choose to work hard to live, because as long as they live, they will find that even if life is difficult, there will always be happy things. Your Highness has a wealthy family, which is enviable for many people. Why should you give up your life for those illusory things?"

"There are so many good men in this world, not just the Prince Consort. You are still so young, and you still have room for choice."

The little princess seemed a little moved.

It's not like Li Xunhuan had not said these words to her before. He had said them on the first day he arrived. But at that time, her heart was already filled with hatred, fruitless love, and unrequited love. How could she continue to listen?
But now... now it's different. Li Xunhuan helped her a lot and helped her win the first prize in the Lotus Poem Competition. Her father has already noticed her and asked the palace servants to send her many rewards. Today's events must have been reported to the palace. Although she offended the brother and sister, she also made a name for herself. The prince consort also treated her differently. I think she will not die in humiliation under the stick in the future.

In addition to this, of course there are other ways, such as giving up being a princess, leaving the capital, and finding a place where no one knows her to start a new life. Li Xunhuan also said that as long as she is willing, he will arrange everything for her.

Should she give up her wish? Give up the person she deeply loves, give up revenge, cherish this new life that she has finally gained, and live well?
The little princess was silent for a long time, then hesitated and said, "If I give up, wouldn't your trip be in vain?"

Li Xun Huan laughed out loud: "How can I say that I came here in vain if I can give you a different life?"

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and then ran very fast, leaving behind the accompanying guards and maids, leaving behind only bursts of screams and shouts.

Li Xun Huan held onto the carriage wall tightly to avoid falling. The little princess cried out, "What's going on? Is the horse frightened? What should we do? Should we jump out of the carriage?"

"No need." Li Xun Huan sighed, "It seems that I can't leave just because I want to."

"You mean..."

"Someone bribed the driver and the guard of honor and intended to kidnap me."

"Who is it? Could it be the Third Princess? Or that bitch Bai Mengliu?"

Bai Mengliu was the concubine of the Prince Consort who came from a poor family. She had been quiet for a while and was not always around. If it was really her, she would have had plenty of time to prepare. Especially since her guards and ceremonial guards were all from the Prince Consort, it would be much easier for Bai Mengliu to get involved than the third sister.

"How to do?"

Li Xun Huan lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. The carriage had already entered a remote alley. It was obvious that the person who robbed him was very familiar with the road conditions in the capital. He asked, "Do you recognize this place?"

The little princess said, "I seldom leave the house, how could I recognize him?!"

In that case...

Li Xunhuan took advantage of the situation and bumped into the wall of the carriage, making a loud thud, and then closed his eyes. The driver seemed to sense something, turned around, lifted the curtain and looked, then laughed strangely, and the carriage went faster.

The little princess was confused: "You...what are you doing?"

Li Xunhuan didn't answer. If you want to pretend to be faint, you have to act like you are faint.

He didn't just pretend to be dizzy, but opened the system live broadcast and found his own live broadcast of the game.

The live broadcast was from a God’s perspective. He saw himself lying on his back in the carriage, and also saw the driver’s face, which was a stranger.

His delicate body was shaking so much that he felt like his whole body was falling apart, and he even felt like vomiting.

Resisting the discomfort, he looked at the number of people watching the live broadcast. There were only three people, Shangguan Jinhong, Yue Lingshan, and Wang Lianhua. And these three people actually sent him barrage comments.

Shangguan Jinhong: "Why haven't you come out yet? If you have time, please take a look at the movements of the monsters in the rain forest for me."

Yue Lingshan: "Oh! How come you were suddenly kidnapped? Will they take you to a remote place and destroy your innocence?"

Wang Lianhua: “Hahahahaha, hahahaha…”

Li Xunhuan shook his head and laughed, then tried to initiate a connection request with Shangguan Jinhong.

Speaking of which, more than half a month has passed since our last hasty farewell, and I don’t know whether they have sent the devil of hell named "Duriel" back to hell.

Shangguan Jinhong answered the call almost immediately. He was resting in a dark and narrow shack. Outside it was pouring rain with thunder and lightning. His expression was as weird as the weather outside.

Such a person who was almost incapable of expressing emotions, had such an indescribable expression on his face at this moment. Li Xunhuan's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, after the call was connected, Shangguan Jinhong's first words were ridicule.

"I never thought that you, Li Xunhuan, would end up like this. Even the famous Little Li Flying Dagger has been used by you as a childish trick."

Li Xun Huan just smiled and said, "How's your situation? It looks like the fight with Duriel is over."

Shangguan Jinhong said calmly: "Perhaps I should remind you that you cannot use any martial arts in this body, and now you have been kidnapped by bad guys. You should be able to guess what they will do even if I don't tell you."

Li Xun Huan said: "I roughly know who did it, but I just can't figure it out. I didn't hinder her, so why did she want to hurt me like this?"

"So you want to hear my opinion?"

"I understand your opinion."

Shangguan Jinhong asked: "Since you know everything, why do you come to talk to me?"

Li Xun Huan said leisurely: "Let's see how your progress is, and then I'll consider when to go back, so that I won't be alone in the empty courtyard, which is really lonely."

Shangguan Jinhong's expression became even colder: "This world is not something you can leave just by dying."

"I know." Li Xun Huan adjusted his posture as the car was shaking, trying to make himself more comfortable: "I have found a way to escape."

"I want to know how you can get out of this situation." He suddenly turned around and called out to the corner, "Use your skills to see what this guy is up to."

Then, Li Xunhuan was surprised to find that there was suddenly one more person watching the live broadcast, whose ID was: "Hua Man Lou"

At the same time, a line of words floated across the barrage.

"Perhaps my skills can help you."

……

When Li Xunhuan "woke up", he was "horrified" to find himself locked up in a small farmyard. In front of him stood seven or eight dirty and smelly farmers, looking at him with greedy eyes.

The little princess was so frightened that she couldn't speak, but Li Xunhuan was not too surprised.

One of the farmers asked, "Are you awake, sir?"

The other one laughed and said, "Someone sold you to us as a wife. Don't be afraid. As long as you don't run away, we brothers will never treat you badly."

"What a fair little face..." As he said this, he was about to touch it. His hands were black and thick, with long nails full of black mud.

Li Xunhuan was not a germaphobe and didn't mind shaking such a hand, but if that hand tried to touch his face, he would definitely vomit.

The live broadcast had not been interrupted yet, and a line of words floated over the barrage.

"Miss Lei will connect with you later. She will call you daddy, so you must agree to her request."

Li Xun Huan laughed: "That's not necessary. I already have a son for no apparent reason, but I don't want to have another daughter."

The farmers were all stunned: "Who are you talking to?"

Then they felt a flash before their eyes, and their bodies could no longer move.

Shangguan Jinhong asked in surprise, "Does this body of yours have any martial arts background?"

"No." Li Xun Huan rubbed his aching fingers: "But I can practice."
