That's right. He had no idea that the huge Mystic Enchanting Jade would be able to store such a strong martial soul. It was indeed an invaluable and priceless treasure. However, it had actually been turned into a game by Yan Bieqin. Once the mystic qi and soul spirit was infused into it, it would lose all of its function. It could no longer be used to refine the martial soul.

Yan Bieqin's gaze was burning in passion while he spoke gently, “I'm willing to even pluck down the stars for the sake of Madam.”

At this moment, Su Mei's eyes had also turned moist as she spoke to Yang Dingtian, “Stop comparing. You are bound to lose.”

Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart as he replied, “Yan Bieqin, you're goddamn ruthless when it comes to flirting with a woman.”

Such a huge Mystic Enchanting Jade would be sufficient to exchange for four to five eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. Now, it was actually used to exchange for a woman's smile.

As the saying goes, ‘One had to squander to be romantic.' Yet, women wouldn't be able to stand this.

It was very clear that Qin Mengli was extremely fond of this object. Her beautiful eyes were filled with splendor as she stroked the Mystic Enchanting Jade admiringly. She had completely forgotten that Yang Dingtian was still standing beside her.

Qin Mengli only remembered Yang Dingtian after a few minutes as she looked over to him, “Oh right, Shen Lang, where's your game?”

Yang Dingtian went forward and placed the chessboard and chess pieces before Qin Mengli. Followingly, he offered the manual that was filled with thousands of words for her as well.

“The game I'm offering is the game of Go. It's something the Madam can use to pass the time.” Yang Dingtian commented.

Madam Qin picked up the piece of silk that was filled with Go's rules and looked over it slowly. She yawned after looking over it for a while as if her interest had run dry.

Only after dozens of minutes did Madam Qin finish reading the Go rules. Amid her reading, she had yawned more than ten times as if she were about to fall asleep.

Immediately, Su Mei felt that Yang Dingtian no longer held any chances. Meanwhile, Yan Bieqin's eyes became even more disdainful as he smiled coldly.

After Madam Qin read finished, she looked towards Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, “Shen Lang, did you create this game of Go yourself?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “Yes, Madam.”

Madam Qin continued, “I can tell that the rules are extremely complicated. I'm afraid there are innumerable ways one could play with it. How did you think of this?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “After wandering the world alone for many years, I played mind games with myself to pass these lonely times.”

Madam Qin commented, “What do you feel about your skills?”

Yang Dingtian continued, “Not sure because I had only played against myself.”

Madam Qin replied, “You created this game. Therefore, you ought to be extremely good at it.”

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “Not necessarily so. I created it but couldn't grasp hold of it. Others might be even better than me.”

Madam Qin replied, “In any case, since we are idling, why not play a game with me?”

“Yes, Madam.” Yang Dingtian agreed.

After which, Yang Dingtian sat down onto the couch and started to play Go with Madam Qin.

This Madam Qin was truly exceptional. She had actually memorized all the rules after reading it just once. Furthermore, she had mastered it completely.

However, from the start, she wasn't really careful with her moves. She had to retreat in defeat continuously under the intensive attacks from Yang Dingtian. This woman was smart. Furthermore, she was proud and arrogant. When she saw that she had been forced to such a miserable state, she couldn't help but feel unresigned. Gradually, she became more attentive and engrossed.

After playing it for a while, Qin Mengli became even more engrossed and attentive. During the latter part, she had even forgotten about her bearings and grace as her face began to reveal her nervousness, indignant, confusion, contemplation, and many other emotions.

Ultimately, she had simply placed all her mind and body into the game and no longer concealed her emotions. Furthermore, she had completely forgotten about the elapse of time momentarily.

Although Madam Qin became extremely focused and engrossed in the game in the latter half, it was still her first time playing it. Yang Dingtian's chess skills weren't very weak, either. Therefore, Madam Qin lost by eight chess pieces in the first round.

After she lost, Madam Qin sunk into contemplation. After which, she looked towards Yang Dingtian and inquired, “I made a lot of mistakes for the first game. I will prevent myself from making these mistakes in the following games. Let's have another round.”

The moment she spoke out such words, Su Mei immediately revealed a surprised expression. These black and white chess pieces were actually so interesting?

Meanwhile, Yan Bieqin's eyes had also revealed a surprised and worried expression.

Madam Qin started to play the second round together with Yang Dingtian.

This round, Madam Qin got even more absorbed. Furthermore, every step she took would be done only after careful contemplation. Her whole body and mind had completely sunk into the game of Go. She had completely forgotten about Yan Bieqin and Su Mei, who were beside her.

During the time when she was playing the game of Go, she would suddenly cheer excitedly, get angry and unresigned, or stuck in contemplation.

In short, all of her focus and heart had been placed onto this very small chessboard.

But even so, she still lost the second game. She lost by six chess pieces to Yang Dingtian.

“This won't do. Again.” Madam Qin argued, “This round, I made a lot of new mistakes. Another round. I don't believe that I will lose again.”

Immediately, she swept all the chess pieces away as she started to separate the white and black chess pieces before starting another round impatiently.

At this moment, Su Mei couldn't help but speak out, “Madam, it's already noon. It's time to eat.”

“Why do I have to eat? Not eating. I will eat after I win.” Madam Qin replied.

Su Mei continued to persuade her. Immediately, Madam Qin cried out in anger, “Am I the mistress, or are you?”

After which, she impatiently placed her first chess piece down before speaking to Yang Dingtian, “Quick, it's your turn. Hurry up…”

Yang Dingtian smiled slightly before playing against her for the third round.

In the third game of Go, Madam Qin became more anxious and impatient. She made even more mistakes, causing her to lose even more. Immediately, she lost by nine chess pieces to Yang Dingtian.

Immediately, Madam Qin grew flustered and exasperated. She pulled out the jade hairpin that was on top of her hair, allowing her beautiful hair to strike down. Her beautiful eyes grew very red as she stared at the chessboard unwaveringly. She also felt that her long sleeves are in a hindrance as she tore them apart as she spoke hurriedly, “Why did I lose even more for the third game? This wouldn't do. Again, again! I have to win against you today.”

Su Mei, who was beside her, couldn't help but speak out, “Madam, the sky had already turned dark. It's time for dinner.”

“Not eating, not eating…” Madam Qin rebuked, “I had lost so badly. Why should I eat?”

Subsequently, Madam Qin grabbed hold onto Yang Dingtian's hand, “Again, again. You're not to leave until I win.”

Yang Dingtian struggled free from Madam Qin's jade fingers and replied, “Madam, we will play again tomorrow. If this continues, I'm afraid you will lose even more. What you need to do now is to calm yourself down and think over it for some time before continuing.”

“Really?” Madam Qin inquired.

“Really.” Yang Dingtian affirmed.

Madam Qin's beautiful eyes were still filled with unwillingness as she inhaled a deep breath of air, “Alright, we shall have another match tomorrow. However, you are not allowed to leave. You will stay here.”

Yang Dingtian was startled as he replied, “I shall abide by your request then.”

At this moment, Su Mei's eyes were filled with admiration and disbelief for Yang Dingtian.

“Madam, who shall be considered the winner for this competition?” Su Mei inquired.

Only then did Madam Qin remember that Yang Dingtian and Yan Bieqin were having a competition. Immediately, her beautiful eyes looked towards Yang Dingtian profoundly, “You, this Shen Lang is not a good person since you had thought of this enticing game to torture me.”

Yang Dingtian smiled slightly and kept his silence.

Followingly, Madam Qin's beautiful eyes looked towards Yan Bieqin. Her beautiful eyes were filled with reluctance as she spoke, “Hubby Yan, your Mystic Enchanting Jade is really good and is a marvelous creation excelling in nature. But unfortunately, I would at most play it for two to three days before losing interest in it. As for Shen Lang's game of Go, I'm afraid I would never be able to master it in a lifetime. I prefer a man who is as complex as the ocean. Therefore, I'm sorry. It's Shen Lang's victory for the competition this time.”

Yan Bieqin's expression changed as he bowed, “Bieqin understands, and I accept my loss. However, the love I have for Madam would never change. I shall take my leave…”

After he spoke, Yan Bieqin turned around immediately and left.

Qin Mengli stared at his rearview, and the reluctance in her beautiful eyes grew even denser.

This Yan Bieqin was really a ferocious hoodlum. He didn't even bother to be in a tangle after he lost but left immediately. Instead, this caused his impression to become even deeper within Qin Mengli's heart. Very clearly, he was scheming for the future.

After Yan Bieqin had left, Qin Mengli smiled at Yang Dingtian, “From today onwards, you're my temporary companion. The time I fire you will be the time you make me lose my interest in you. Now, you shall accompany me to have a meal together.”

For the subsequent days, Yang Dingtian would frequently accompany Qin Mengli to play the game of Go. Indeed, Qin Mengli's intelligence was extremely brilliant. On the fifth day, it was Yang Dingtian's first loss to her. From then on, things started to get out of hand. Yang Dingtian started to suffer defeat in every battle. Furthermore, the number of chess pieces he lost grew even more overtime.

Thus, Qin Mengli became more and more uninterested in playing the game of Go against Yang Dingtian.
