The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Make your move, woman," Xiao Ji Yingting urged.

A pale purple star-like eye opened slightly, and a vortex like a nebula began to swirl gently.

What's this?

Li Qingqing murmured in bewilderment, for she had never seen such a beautiful sight in her entire life.

Starry sky, Milky Way, spiral.

A dazzling nebula has permeated her understanding of the world for over a decade since birth.

Are those...her eyes? Are these the kind of beautiful eyes a human could have?

A giant chessboard hung in the sky, and the little girl with long, light green hair gently raised her pale purple eyes.

Her eyes seemed to hold the entire starry sky.

No...maybe I saw it wrong.

She shook her long, dark green hair vigorously. When Li Qingqing came back to her senses, she found that Xiao Ji Yingting's eyes were only slightly narrowed, and the pale purple slits looked somewhat lifeless.

"Damn it, how long does this darn situation last? The timer isn't going to be that leisurely."

"pat"

Li Qingqing covered her eyes, which had been exposed to the wind, and struggled to pick up a white chess piece, placing it on the chessboard.

Koji Sakuraba, playing black, made his first move at the star point, while white's first move was at the small point.

Seeing that her opponent had finally placed the first piece, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ji Ying Ting's lips, and her two big, light green twin tails gently brushed against her cute cheeks.

"Let me see... your humility and weakness."

With her beige sleeves pressed against her mouth, Sakuraba whispered.

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

"Huh? What's going on? Were the five people from Jupiter distracted by the game's flow?"

Ji Heiyu, who was sitting in the commentary booth watching the screen, was slightly taken aback. Strange... Jupiter's side has been dragging on for too long.

Although she wasn't there, seeing how slowly one side was placing their pieces, Ji Heiyu roughly guessed that someone on the Moon's side... had done something.

Of course, it could also be due to the Jupiter player himself.

However, the five black chessboards on the screen finally began to be placed. Ji Heiyu tilted her long black hair slightly and glanced at the staff member next to her.

"Has the broadcast started yet?" she asked softly.

"Um"

The female staff member gave Ji Heiyu an OK sign.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ji Heiyu, a professional 6-dan player. Today, I'll be providing commentary for the match between Moon Team 1 and Jupiter Team 1."

"Sitting in position number one is Shang Gongying, a professional first-dan player, who is fifteen years old."

As Ji Heiyu spoke, the camera on the screen moved to Shang Gongying's front. A girl with long orange hair gently placed a black piece on the board. It was only the beginning of the game, so there wasn't much to say yet.

"Sitting in position number two is Lu Kuangmei, a professional first-dan Go player, who is fifteen years old."

Soon, the screen shifted to a girl with white hair.

"Seated in position number three is Ji Yingting, a professional first-dan Go player... fifteen years old."

Looking at the green-haired twin-tailed little girl appearing on the screen, Ji Heiyu's lips twitched a few times as he forcibly explained using the data sheet.

No matter what... it's too much to say that someone who looks like a young girl is fifteen years old.

However... when the camera switched to the chessboard in front of Xiaoji Yingting, she suddenly widened her black eyes.

"Is this... a joke?"

In that instant, I saw Xiao Ji Yingting's right hand gently holding a black stone... and with a thud, it struck the small corner and star point where the white stone had just been placed.

Chapter 297: Ji Yingting

I often wonder why I opened these eyes.

I am blind, yet I can look down upon the starry sky.

Is it because I am blind that I can place these kinds of chess pieces?

"Come on... even if it's you, come down here."

She slightly opened her pale purple starry eyes, and a green willow branch drooped down one side of her fair cheek. She spoke softly.

In front of her sat a blurry figure, who looked like a young girl with her eyes closed in deep thought.

The girl picked up a chess piece, and her right hand gently rose into the air, as if transforming into a dancing purple butterfly.

pat...

Ok?

Suddenly, the pale purple, squinty eyes narrowed slightly, and the surrounding environment became noisy once again.

Strange, who is she? That girl... the girl in my hallucination.

Xiao Ji Yingting gently shook her long, light green hair and covered half of her eyes with her slender little hand.

At this moment, sitting in front of her is a girl with long, dark green hair named Li Qingqing, not her!

Who is that girl...?

Two long, light green pigtails gently draped over the sides of her small head. Little Ji Yingting squinted and picked up a white chess piece.

So, the current game of chess... is it almost over?

pat...

Xiao Ji Ying Ting's right hand transformed into a starlight, quickly sliding down the chessboard.

Big Fly... is it another Big Fly? This is the third Big Fly by Ji Yingting in this game.

It's like the dividing line between amateur and professional.

People often say that if Xiaofei's accuracy rate is 97 points, then Dafei's accuracy rate is 100 points.

However, how many professional Go players can actually keep using the large knight's move?

The black-haired girl sitting in the commentary booth narrowed her dark eyes slightly.

Unlike an hour ago... her expression was slightly serious now.

"It seems that Ji Yingting, the Go player, really likes using the large knight's move to organize her board position... huh?"

"Wait, why am I still giving a serious explanation? This game doesn't need any explanation at all..." Ji Heiyu thought to himself.

The skill gap between White and Black is ridiculously large! Are you kidding me?! This is the Scorpion Cup, right?!

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

Snap... The pale green firefly light was caught in Xiaoji Yingting's palm, amidst the ghostly atmosphere and the fireflies drifting like snowflakes.

Boom! Time seemed to stand still as a drop of liquid flowing from Xiao Jiying's white jade palm turned into nothingness.

Greenish-blue ripples gently spread outwards from around Xiao Ji Ying Ting, in concentric circles, like the wind.

Pale green eyes appeared slightly, and Xiao Ji Yingting's right hand turned completely white jade. The luster of jade carried a white chess piece and gently fell into the chessboard with a soft thud.

"It's time to end this game..."

Xiao Ji Yingting tilted her head slightly, letting her soft, light green hair cling to her brows, and her two light green pigtails shot up into the sky.

The turquoise waterfall of light enveloped the entire starry sky in an instant, and the serene Yellow Springs hung upside down among the countless stars.

Wait a minute, this is so weird!!!

Meanwhile, sitting opposite Xiao Ji Yingting, Li Qingqing, with her long dark green hair, stared wide-eyed.

Why... why did I have to encounter such an opponent!

She...she's still just a child, right? How did she develop such skill in chess?

The moon-white sleeves fluttered gently, and the emerald green ripples, like the opening of a path to the underworld, instantly spread across the entire starry sky.

"call"

A soft breath came from Xiao Ji Yingting's nose, sounding like thunder in her ears.

"Well……"

In that instant, Li Qingqing's dark green eyes widened suddenly, and she gritted her teeth, her voice almost falling silent.

Her fingers... couldn't move. Although her thoughts hadn't stopped, she... no longer wanted to lift her arm.

Pat, pat, pat, pat.

The sounds of chess pieces falling around her were so familiar, but... she couldn't place a piece; only she could.

The turquoise ripples were like a gentle breeze caressing her face, softly blowing across Li Qingqing's dark green hair. However, her whole body seemed to be trapped in a quagmire from which she could not escape, and she collapsed under the influence of sleep paralysis.

tick, tick...

A few tears streamed from the corners of Li Qingqing's eyes, and she couldn't stop wiping them away with her hands.

The tragedy on the chessboard made her burst into soft sobs.

"Why...why is she so strong, while I don't even have the courage to make a move?"

"I admit defeat..." A few seconds later, her dark green bangs gently covered her eyes, and Li Qingqing silently lowered her head.

"Qingqing...you've already lost? You were faster than me!!"

Sitting next to her was a girl with long black hair, who was frantically raising her eyebrows.

She and Li Qingqing are both chess players from Jupiter, and she is also the opponent of Lü Kuangmei, who is sitting in second place.

The girl with long white hair looked at her opponent with a puzzled expression... something seemed off.

"I give up too."

Then, the black-haired girl slowly lowered her head.
