The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Bingyuan, behave to your sister! Otherwise, your sister will hit you!" Ji Yingting's voice suddenly became much more serious.

"No, no means no," Ji Bingyuan said, shaking her head as she tossed her long, icy blue hair.

"You stubborn child! Watch me forgive the storm!" *Slap slap slap slap slap*

Ji Yingting was genuinely angry. She tossed her long, light green hair, shook her head, and started slapping Ji Bingyuan's long, icy blue hair behind her back.

"Waaaaaah, sister, you don't agree and you're going to hit me! Waaaaaah, please stop hitting me!"

Whipped repeatedly by her long, bluish-green hair, Ji Bingyuan wiped away her tears and cried with great grievance. Her heartbroken expression made Ji Yingting feel a pang of heartache.

Ji Yingting was a little helpless. She patted Ji Bingyuan's back like she was coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, I won't hit you anymore. Let's go to sleep, okay?"

"Mmm," Ji Bingyuan sadly shook her long, cascading, ice-blue hair, and closed her ice-blue eyes as Ji Yingting held her close, gently falling asleep.

-------------------------------------

On the third day of staying in the Moon Palace, Ji Yingting squinted her pale purple starry eyes and looked down at the chessboard where she and Ji Bingyuan were playing.

Ji Bingyuan, playing black, used the wrong small eye opening, while Ji Yingting, playing white, used the star small eye opening.

"Bingyuan, want to come and play chess? I'm so bored," Ji Yingting said.

"Hey," Ji Bingyuan was kneeling behind Ji Yingting, playing with her long, light green hair, when she heard her words and was slightly taken aback.

With her icy blue bangs obscuring her eyes, Ji Bingyuan's expression gradually turned strange. After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly whispered something.

"If I really finish that game of Go with Sakuraba-nee, you might never be able to leave this place again."

"Maybe? What do you mean? Does that mean if I win, you can get out of here?"

Ji Yingting raised her light green eyebrows slightly and said, "If it's really that easy, I still think it's better to go out as soon as possible."

"Well, but if you lose, you'll really have to stay here forever... But there's a price to pay for me agreeing to play chess with you, sister."

"Let Bingyuan think about it. Sister Yingba, do you want to have my baby, or would you like your cute little sister to have your baby?"

Ji Bingyuan shook her long, icy blue hair with a blank expression, and walked straight to the opposite side of Ji Yingting.

"Have children?? After losing the game, you can do whatever you want with me, as many as you like."

Ji Yingting blinked her pale purple starry eyes and looked gently at Ji Bingyuan. Her fair face was a little cold, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Hmm... I wish I had known she would agree to play chess with me. Why use words when a game of chess can solve the problem?

With her slender, fair right arm raised, revealing a light green sleeve, Ji Yingting picked up the white chess box from the chessboard again.

With a "whoosh," a breath of icy mist escaped from her cherry-like mouth, and Ji Bingyuan, dragging her icy blue Taoist robe, sat down cross-legged.

“After you lose the game, let’s start tonight! The plan to have a baby… first we need to take a bath together… and then… and then…” White steam rose, and her face suddenly turned incredibly flushed. Ji Bingyuan covered her fair face with her hands and lowered her head shyly as she spoke.

Don't worry... None of what you're imagining will happen, because after I win the game and leave, I'll show my little sister what a "super invincible forgiveness storm with ten thousand consecutive hits" is like. Just wait for your sister's loving lashing.

With a flick of her long, bluish-green hair, Ji Yingting narrowed her pale purple starry eyes as she pondered.

Being threatened by Ji Bingyuan with such unreasonable conditions naturally fueled her anger.

Splash...

Ji Bingyuan calmly ruffled her long, ice-blue hair, then reached her slender right hand into the chess box and slowly picked up a black chess piece.

"This match is filled with my sister's love, big sister!"

Heart-shaped flowers bloomed in Ji Bingyuan's icy blue pupils as she gently placed the black chess piece into the chessboard with her right hand.

In that instant... the moment Ji Bingyuan picked up the black chess piece, Ji Yingting suddenly felt a strong pang in her heart. She frowned and clutched her chest.

What's wrong? My heart has been feeling strange since just now, it's beating so fast, like I've suddenly lost something precious, I'm so sad.

"The timer over there seems to be malfunctioning. Should we go and adjust it?"

One of the referees quietly reported this to the head referee.

Almost an hour had passed since the start of the match, and only four pieces remained on the board. Both players seemed to be asleep with their eyes closed, and their timers were not moving at all.

"It's alright, don't worry about that," the chief referee slowly shook his head.

Sitting next to the two at table number one, a stunningly beautiful girl with long, fiery red hair quietly watched them.

Snap... The two of them kept their eyes closed. The ice-blue sleeves were gently lifted, and Ji Bingyuan slowly extended her slender right arm to place a chess piece.

"Oh...she's finally made her move."

With her pale purple eyes narrowed, Ji Yingting sat on the ice-blue chair and picked up a white chess piece.

*Thud*, high-flying small flight.

Black's low approach to White's small corner, and Ji Yingting's high-position knight's move is one of the most common joseki in modern times, with a feel of a modified version of Honinbo Shusaku's "Shusaku Point".

Compared to the small knight's move, the small knight's move is less conservative, and the shape looks smoother and more comfortable.

"Pat-pat, pat-pat, pat-pat, pat-pat"

"Sister, sister, your chess skills are amazing! I didn't anticipate this cross-cut, and now I'm at a disadvantage."

Rubbing the icy blue waterfall, Ji Bingyuan spoke slowly with a blank expression, her voice slightly low.

"Yes, because I'm very serious, Bingyuan."

Ji Yingting blinked her pale purple starry eyes and said softly. Her long, light green hair swayed in the cold wind, and the cold wind in the entire ice-blue palace seemed to have become much stronger. A layer of ice shavings clung to Ji Bingyuan's hair.

"Sister...do you really want to leave me that much...don't you want to be with Bingyuan that much?" As the scheme was about to end, Ji Bingyuan's expression remained unchanged, her two icy blue pupils moving listlessly.

"I really want to stay with Bingyuan, so please let me out quickly, I'm already a little tired," Ji Yingting said, brushing aside the stray strands of her light green hair that had fallen beside her ear. However, her voice was much softer than before.

Pat, pat, pat, pat.

"Sister, do you feel sleepy? Bingyuan feels a little tired..." Ji Bingyuan yawned lightly, patted her mouth with her right hand, and slightly changed her sitting posture, curling up her legs and placing her hands on the chessboard.

"Sister is also sleepy... Let's go to bed and take a nap, Bingyuan," Ji Yingting said softly. Her light purple pupils dimmed considerably, and even the chessboard in front of her seemed somewhat unreal.

“No, sister… once this game of chess starts, it’s impossible to stop. This is the game you decided to play, right?” Ji Bingyuan said as she pondered, her left hand gently tapping the chessboard with her ice-blue Taoist robe, as if this would help her stay more alert.

As the game continued, Ji Bingyuan gradually lowered her two slender jade hands. Her entire ice-blue hair was covered with a thick layer of ice, and even her right hand, which was holding the chess piece, was covered with ice.

---------------------------------

"I'm no match for my older sister. I admit defeat. I was so naive... I underestimated her chess skills."

With a slight smile on her lips, Ji Bingyuan spoke slowly, a layer of white frost suddenly appearing at the corners of her eyes as she spoke, her icy blue pupils barely supporting her eyelids.

The icy blue waterfall froze into a frost, and as Ji Bingyuan slowly closed her icy blue eyes, Ji Yingting's expression gradually turned cold.

"Bingyuan...you lied to me, didn't you? If this is the outcome, why did you agree to play chess with me in the first place?"

Ji Yingting shook her long, bluish-green hair and asked, as she gently stood up from the ice-blue chair, dragging her light green Taoist robe.

"Goodbye, my sister..."

Ji Yingting said coldly, her pale purple starry eyes revealing a hint of anger, and walked away without turning her head, her long green hair swaying.

Ji Bingyuan had decided from the very beginning that she would stay here forever... all alone... forever in this place.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to keep my sister here with me forever, but it seems that's not going to work out. I really want to be with my sister." Ji Bingyuan said slowly, rubbing her long, ice-blue hair in distress.

"Sister, sister, are you still there?" Ji Bingyuan asked softly, her voice so weak that even she could barely hear it.

"Sister, have you really left? Have you really decided to leave Bingyuan?" Ji Bingyuan murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face and falling onto the chessboard.

"I'll be all alone again, huh? Yes. Sakuraba-nee cares about Benizaki-nee, I've known that from the beginning... It's always been like this, I can't possibly have her all to myself, I'm just fooling myself."

The deep ice layer completely froze her tears into pearls, and Ji Bingyuan's ice-blue robe was gradually covered by ice. Countless ice-blue chains appeared in the Guanghan Palace, wrapping around her body one by one.

"If I can't get what Sakuraba-nee wants... I'd rather stay here alone forever."

His body was encased in ice, with only his icy heart still beating slowly.

Haha, I've been planning this ever since I saw Sakuraba-nee again a few days ago, and I never expected it would all come down to just one sentence from her.

"It's so boring here, I want to play chess..." That was a complete failure, because I really wanted to play chess with her too, even if I lost... After all, that was the only time I could have her all to myself, otherwise I would lose Sakuraba-nee forever, and it was such a rare opportunity to see her.

However, Sakuraba-nee was really amazing in the last game. She seemed to be glowing when she played. She was definitely much better than me.

Sister, have you gotten out yet? If you don't get out soon, you'll end up like Bingyuan, stuck here forever.

------------------------

"What's going on... I can't breathe." At table number 8, a girl with dry, yellow hair gasped for breath. A sharp pain shot through her heart, and Ji Qiuyao's right hand, which was about to place a black chess piece, stopped abruptly.

Although I didn't experience any other physical sensations, my heart was beating exceptionally fast, and I felt a suffocating sadness.

Chapter 127: The Ice Cat Devours the Moon, Solar Eclipse

"What's going on... I can't breathe." At table number 8, a girl with dry, yellow hair gasped for breath. A sharp pain shot through her heart, and Ji Qiuyao's right hand, which was about to place a black chess piece, stopped abruptly.

Although I didn't experience any other physical sensations, my heart was beating exceptionally fast, and I felt a suffocating sadness.

"Huh? What's wrong with her? Why is she making that weird expression on her face?"

Qi Yue frowned her purple eyebrows. Ji Qiuyao's record was seven wins and two losses. Even if she lost this game, she could still be promoted to the fifth dan. But Qi Yue only had six wins and three losses at the moment.

Regardless of the circumstances... this game must be won, Qi Yue gripped her right hand tightly, which held the white chess piece.

"Bingyuan, is this the ending you wanted? I already wanted to warn you that night. Even if you made this decision to escape reality, it shouldn't have happened, especially since you specifically dragged your sister into it."

Ji Hongying glanced silently at Ji Bingyuan, who was emanating an extremely cold aura. Ji Bingyuan's chess moves had completely spiraled out of control and were on the verge of going berserk. The icy blue chains had bound her into a cocoon.

Sitting opposite her, Ji Yingting suddenly raised her green willow eyebrows, and her pale purple starry eyes slowly opened a purple slit. The timer beside them started running again.

However... the outcome of this game is already quite clear: Ji Bingyuan has lost.

"Phew... Is my sister finally coming back?"

Just as Ji Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly froze again. Ji Yingting's pale purple starry eyes closed again. "Sister, what are you doing?!" A runaway chess move is very dangerous!
