The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

The sound of heavy raindrops came from outside the window, and the sleeping girl slowly opened her gray eyes.

It's raining heavily today too.

She sat up in bed groggily, her long, messy chestnut hair inadvertently obscuring her eyes. She reached out her slender left hand and gently tidied her hair a few times.

Her gray, lifeless eyes stared out the window in silence for a long time, the incessant sound of the torrential rain masking her complex emotions.

Wearing a golden Taoist robe, the girl walked to the mirror and gently picked up a wooden comb. Her chestnut-colored, messy hair was quickly combed into neat, waist-length hair.

Red eye makeup outlined the corners of her eyes, and after finishing her eye makeup, she casually tossed her soft chestnut hair a few times.

"It seems I got up a little too early," the chestnut-haired girl sighed softly as she glanced at the clock on the wall after finishing her preparations.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the Go board, she looked down at the life-and-death problem she hadn't solved the night before. Solving life-and-death problems was one of her favorite things to do while learning Go.

She loved the moment when she solved a life-or-death problem, the feeling of piercing someone's heart with an arrow, and at the same time, her own soul felt as if it had been redeemed.

The life-and-death problem she's studying today is the Golden Cabinet Corner.

The Golden Corner... is an extremely common life-and-death problem with countless complex variations, and it is a shape that many people encounter in actual games.

Every Go player, from amateur to professional, will encounter different kinds of challenging positions at each level.

Some professional Go players have even said that if a player can thoroughly study all the variations of the Golden Corner, then his Go strength must be above that of a professional 7-dan.

…………

Soon after, the brown-haired girl dropped a black chess piece onto the chessboard with a crisp, clattering sound.

"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right..." Soon, she picked up the black chess piece from the board with her fingers, but it made a clanging sound.

My hands... are trembling.

She frowned slightly, and the arm that had just picked up the chess piece began to tremble slightly involuntarily, as if it had been electrocuted. The black chess piece kept colliding with other pieces, making a clanging sound.

"Oh no... I'm too excited... I need to calm down."

The brown-haired girl let out a soft breath, and after lowering her arm, she gently narrowed her gray eyes.

I've been waiting for this match for years, Shang Gongying, do you remember what she said to me back then?

Shang Gongying, I'll force you to reveal everything in this competition... including her.

No, to be precise, the person I initially wanted to play chess with was her...

Ma Gongling stuck out her tongue and gently licked her slightly dry lips.

Shang Gongying, tell her to wait for me.

....................

"Let's go eat at a regular restaurant for lunch today. Eating McDonald's too often isn't good. Speaking of which, young kids especially love McDonald's. Is it because the gutter oil makes it taste so good?"

Ji Yingting sat on the sofa, gently swaying her green willow branches, her pale purple starry eyes blinking thoughtfully.

A water lily-colored Taoist robe was spread out on the edge of the sofa, and two slender legs encased in white over-the-knee stockings were gently raised, with ice-blue cloth boots hanging precariously from the toes.

A few minutes later, a figure with long silver hair sat down in front of Ji Yingting. She was a mature girl who looked rather tall.

The girl with silver whip-like hair gently lifted her silver Taoist robe and sat down in front of Ji Yingting, her blue eyes filled with a serious fighting spirit.

"Ah...so it's not a little sister, it's an older sister?" Ji Yingting casually swung her white-stockinged legs, and looked listless when she saw the person who came.

Hmm? Seeing Ji Yingting's lazy appearance, the silver-haired girl frowned slightly with her straight silver eyebrows.

Why does my opponent seem so unserious? Is it because my attitude isn't right?

Oh right, I should greet my opponent first... that's more in line with a chess player's etiquette. She thought to herself.

After all, she is such a strong player. Such a player should care a lot about the attitude of her opponent, right?

"Hello, my name is Shi Shishi, 18 wins and 2 losses."

The silver-haired girl took the white chess box from the chessboard and stared intently at Ji Yingting's long, light green hair.

"Wet wet wet?? What a funny name."

She tilted her long, bluish-green hair in a strange way and almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Ji Yingting's fair face puffed up into the shape of a steamed bun, and she covered her mouth with both hands, her shoulders trembling.

Huh? Is she laughing? Is she mocking me? No... it shouldn't be. Although little sister Ji Yingting is very strong, she looks quite cute. She doesn't seem like the kind of disgusting, scheming bitch.

"Ok?"

After imagining the scene, Shi Shishi stared at Ji Yingting's pale purple, narrowed eyes with expectant eyes, remaining silent as if waiting for something.

...A bluish-green ahoge suddenly stood up from the top of Ji Yingting's green head.

Huh? Why is she staring at me like that? It's making me a little nervous...

Ji Yingting picked up the black chess box and placed it on her right. She slightly opened her pale purple starry eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl sitting opposite the starry chessboard with a strange gaze for a while.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, the girl with silver whip-like hair suddenly froze.

Why...why hasn't she greeted me yet?

I clearly greeted her... I don't think my attitude was inappropriate, right?

"Shall we start playing chess?"

Feeling a little uneasy under the gaze of the silver-haired girl Shi Shishi, Ji Yingting lifted the black chess box and asked softly. A strand of her long, cascading green hair was pulled from behind her, and she casually rubbed the green strands with her small hands to hide her embarrassment.

"But you haven't greeted me yet... How can we start playing chess without greeting each other?" Finally, the silver-haired girl whispered to Ji Yingting.

Oh no, this older sister is a lunatic!! No, she must be a madwoman, right?

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Yingting was suddenly startled.

Then, she fidgeted and shook her long, bluish-green hair.

To avoid this madwoman doing anything strange, I'd better greet her first. Ji Yingting nodded, secretly shaking her long, bluish-green hair.

"Oh, my name is Ji Yingting, and I'm 15 years old."

Chapter 226: Nine Transformations of the Jade Face!

The pitch-black night sky was shrouded in darkness, with a pale green artificial moon hanging high in the night.

The surrounding environment was pitch black, with only a beautiful girl with long orange hair reaching her waist climbing the mountain step by step.

Tick-tock...tick-tock.

A few tears slowly fell from her orange eyes as she stood silently weeping before a grave, her orange hair casually draped over her petite body.

However, she was not the only one standing here at this moment... because there seemed to be a few sobs and choked voices in the air beside her.

"Mom, we've come to see you..."

"Your last wish is about to come true, and the once-prosperous Go family business will soon be reawakened. Although we have never seen you in person, thank you... for bringing us into this world."

My sisters are very sad today. Can you hear them crying? Mom...

...

In the Go professional arena of Yongyue City, a beautiful woman with long, light green hair was staring blankly out the window, her gaze seemingly reaching for the distant starry sky.

Plop... A tear fell from her silver eyes, and the woman with long silver hair suddenly stopped the chess piece she was about to place.

It wasn't just the two of them...

Tonight, many professional chess players who dominate the professional chess arena are destined to have a sleepless night.

Because... today is the anniversary of her death.

It was the day that Shang Zha Nu, who was known as the strongest genius on the moon fifteen years ago, passed away.

Fifteen years ago today, they lost a common life goal, because back then she was invincible, and now she is dead... so she can never be surpassed by them again, never.

but!!!!

The sun sets for a moment, only to rise even more brilliantly fifteen years later...

The next day, under the bright moon, a pair of sharp orange eyes slowly opened, and the dormant thoughts returned.

Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat

The sounds of chess pieces being placed around her reached her ears, and Shang Gongying gently picked up a black chess piece.

*Thud!* With a crisp sound, the black piece landed heavily in the star position in the upper right corner of the chessboard.

At the same time, she slowly raised her slender left hand, covering her no longer sharp orange eyes. Two lines of clear tears dripped from the corners of her orange eyes, flowing down her fair cheeks.

"Ma Gongling, you've always wanted to see her, haven't you..."

! ! ! ! !

In an instant, her long brown hair began to sway gently.

Her long brown hair stopped swaying, and Ma Gongling almost held her breath as her red eye makeup slowly slid inward.

dong dong dong! !

The moment Shang Gongying spoke, she could even hear her own heart pounding violently.

"Will my long-awaited dream finally come true today?"...

Whew~~~

A few seconds later, Ma Gongling exhaled a breath of stale air, and her gray eyes no longer showed hesitation or confusion.

“Let me defeat her, Shang Gongying, I’ve waited too long!! It’s been years…”

With her fists clenched, she held a white chess piece between her fingers and placed it heavily in the lower left corner of the board, making a small eye.

Suddenly, Shang Gongying's slender left hand stopped at her fair cheek. She gazed calmly at Ma Gongling, whose expression was extremely serious, her orange eyes as still as water.

"Alright... then I'll grant your wish this once and let you see my sister." After saying this, her slender left hand gently slid down her beautiful profile, gradually obscuring the view beneath her orange bangs.

Huh?! In the blink of an eye, Ma Gongling's gray eyes widened instantly.

Is she about to change? Now?! This is only the first move! What will her strategy be?
