I Can Track Everything Novel - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Isn’t This Too Much?

Li Xiang froze on the spot when she heard this. She looked straight at Chen Chen with hesitation and vigilance in her pair of narrow eyes.

When Chen Chen saw this, his smile disappeared and he said calmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you do anything too excessive, such as making you…” *coughs*

“However, I won’t let you do things easily. Otherwise, you won’t feel that kind of frustration.”

“Then what if you lose?”Li Xiang asked.

“If I lose, I will play with you until you surpass Chu Yun. Moreover, I will never play chess with Chu Yun again.”Chen Chen said resolutely.

Li Xiang was still a little hesitant when she heard this.

When Chen Chen saw this, he spread out his hands and his expression turned cold.

“If you can’t make up your mind, then forget it. I am living quite well in the Li Xian Sect and I don’t need you to do anything for me. You can go back. I still have to cultivate.”

Seeing the disdain in Chen Chen’s eyes, Li Xiang’s expression changed again and again.

At this moment, she seemed to be listening to Chen Chen say, “You can’t compare to Chu Yun. She’s willing to offer her chastity but you’re not willing to do anything. Then you deserve to be surpassed by others!”

Seeing that Chen Chen was about to turn around, she had a flash of inspiration and she blurted out, “I’ll play this chess game with you!”

Hearing this, Chen Chen calmly began to swear. He was going to be as vicious as he was going to be. He said that if she violated the oath, she would die and her soul would disappear, and she would not be reincarnated.

Li Xiang naturally had to follow suit and swear as well.

It was very simple for Chen Chen to make her swear. If she violated the oath, her cultivation would stagnate for the rest of her life and she would never be able to surpass Chu Yun.

After she swore the oath, Li Xiang’s face had already turned pale before she even began to play this “Game.”It was as if she had suffered a great blow.

She had never experienced this kind of feeling before in her life.

“Let’s play this game a little simpler. Let’s leave it to fate. Don’t say that I’m bullying you.”

Chen Chen took out a set of “Chess”and placed it on the table in a complete mess. These “Chess”were all made from materials that could block spiritual sense. There was no way to see what cards they were made of.

“How about this? You and I can randomly choose one. Whoever’s chess piece has a bigger number will be considered to have won.”

Chen Chen smiled and said as he looked at the ‘chess pieces’ on the table.

In reality, this kind of chess playing method could no longer be called chess. Instead, it was a true gamble. It was not much different from a mortal throwing a dice and betting on a big or small bet.

A genuine chess game only is where one relies solely on one’s skills to win. If one relies solely on luck, it would be considered a gamble.

Previously, when he played ‘run fast’ and ‘fighting the sect master”, there were more or less some elements of chess. However, it was completely gone now.

However, Chen Chen had no other choice. In order to win, he had to resort to any means.

As for Li Xiang, she did not detect any tricks within it. Forget about the fact that she did not understand that there were dice among mortals. Even if she did, who would associate the plaything that an ordinary person played with with the Heavenly Dao chess that could cause one to have an epiphany?

Li Xiang saw beads of sweat on her forehead. Without thinking, she messed up the “chess” on the table again. Only then did she carefully draw a card from it. At this moment, she was extremely nervous.

If she lost, she would have to obey Chen Chen’s orders! Who knew what kind of orders this person would give?

Chen Chen saw her draw a card and secretly asked the system in his heart.

“System, within a radius of 0.5 meters, is there a card that is slightly bigger than hers?”

“Yes, 20 centimeters from your left hand and 15 centimeters from your right hand, Host…”

The system gave four answers at once and Chen Chen randomly picked a card.

Without waiting for Li Xiang to look first, he directly turned the card over. It was a four.

Seeing the four, Chen Chen said with a bitter expression, “It seems that God is not on my side today.”

Li Xiang also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. The nervousness on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was only a ‘four’. As long as she did not draw ‘two’ and ‘three’, she would be able to win. However, this was an important matter after all. She could not be as relaxed as Chen Chen and turn it over right away.

After pausing for a moment, she carefully flipped up a corner of the card.

When she looked at it, her entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning. She trembled for a moment, causing Chen Chen to be unable to hold it in. The corners of his mouth curled up, but it was quickly turned into a bitter smile by him.

“You don’t have to be so agitated after defeating me, right?”

Li Xiang slowly raised her head when she heard this. Her face was completely pale, and the daze in her eyes was incomparably holow.

Chen Chen, who was sitting opposite her, could even faintly hear her heartbeat.

“I… I, I am three.”

After a long while, Li Xiang finally spat out these words with great difficulty.

Chen Chen’s expression changed when he heard this. With a thought of his divine will, the card in Li Xiang’s hand directly flipped open, and shockingly, it was a three.

He did not reveal an ecstatic expression towards this. He only said indifferently, “I didn’t think that I would be able to win even with this. Before the sect master comes out of seclusion, you have to listen to me. How is it? how do you feel now?”

“It’s very uncomfortable… my heart is empty, as if I’ve lost my soul.”

“It’s right to feel uncomfortable. If you don’t break through, you won’t be able to establish yourself. The feeling You’re feeling now is the feeling that your Junior Sisters had when they lost all their supreme-grade Spirit Stones two days ago.”

Chen Chen said happily, almost congratulating her directly.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. She said softly, “Chen Chen, what do you want me to do?”

Upon hearing that, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Chen’s face, as if he was thinking for Li Xiang.

“Sigh, I definitely can’t let you suffer too much loss, nor can I let you take the risk, let alone let you harm others.”

Li Xiang’s expression gradually became better. From the looks of it, this Chen Chen was a decent person.

“How about this, you can call me Dad.”

As soon as Chen Chen said those words, Li Xiang felt a surge of anger rush to her head. She almost fainted on the spot.

Just as she subconsciously wanted to make a move, Chen Chen shook Zhang Si with a smile that was not a smile. He said, “To be honest, if you call me dad, I won’t get any benefits at all. However, this will give you a huge blow.

“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to. Just pretend that nothing happened today, and I won’t hold it against you. As for the oath, you can take it as a joke.”

After saying that, a trace of contempt flashed in Chen Chen’s eyes. It was a look of ‘I’m doing you a favor, but you still don’t appreciate it’.

Li Xiang’s face was frighteningly pale.

Chen Chen didn’t ask her to take out the Spirit Stones and the magic treasures, but only asked her to call him ‘father’ in this deserted place.

This was indeed not of any real benefit to Chen Chen. It seemed like it was for her own good.

Moreover, how could one casually break an oath? If one broke an oath, even if it did not come true, when one broke through to a higher realm in the future, one would constantly think of this matter and it would eventually become a knot in one’s heart.

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and said vaguely, “Father…”

Chen Chen forced down his laughter and said seriously, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Father!”

Li Xiang was completely exhausted after shouting. It was as if she had experienced a great battle. She almost collapsed to the ground.

She had been adopted by her master since she was young and had never met her biological parents. This was the first time in her life that she had called someone that way!

“Good!”

Chen Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that Li Xiang was in a daze, he added, “It’s this kind of frustration that can make a person fall from grace, but it’s still a little lacking now.

“How about this? From now on, every afternoon, you can come and bring me lunch and call me your father. Is that too much?”

When Li Xiang heard this, she felt like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Her vision went black and she almost fainted.

..

It was noon the next day.

Li Xiang walked into Chen Chen’s room with a pale face. She carefully took out a few plates of food and placed them in front of Chen Chen.

Yesterday night was definitely the longest and most painful night of her life.

However, she knew that this kind of feeling could be encountered but not sought. Perhaps it could really allow her to break through. However, just as Chen Chen had said, she was still lacking an opportunity.

“Cough Cough!”

Chen Chen coughed lightly twice.

When Li Xiang heard this, she called out very shamefully, “Father.”

“Good, go.” Chen Chen waved his hand, and Li Xiang immediately fled the room.

After Li Xiang left, a female cultivator suddenly walked out from the screen behind Chen Chen. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

That expression was as if she had seen the destruction of the world.

Chen Chen slowly picked up the food and took a bite, only then did he indifferently say, “How is it? Junior Sister Li, do you know how much Li Xiang has paid for that tiny chance of a breakthrough? She promised me that she would obey my orders for ten years. If you’re not willing, then leave. I won’t force you.”

When the female cultivator heard this, her eyes gradually became firm. She said in a deep voice, “Seven years it is! I’m willing!”
