Chapter 1115 - 1115 80 Great Emperor VS Shou Zhe Perilous

Chapter 1115: Chapter 80: Great Emperor VS Shou Zhe! Perilous Drive to Collapse_2 Chapter 1115: Chapter 80: Great Emperor VS Shou Zhe! Perilous Drive to Collapse_2 He knew early on that His Majesty’s skin was thick, so he naturally wasn’t surprised.

He casually took out bags of fruits and vegetables from the Storage Ring “Endless Abyss” and handed them over to Old Yao beside him, “This subject knows Your Majesty lacks nothing and didn’t know what to give. These fruits and vegetables were grown by Shouzhe during his leisure time, please accept them as a modest token of my feelings.”

Fruits and vegetables?

Emperor Longchang’s old face trembled slightly.

You’re giving fruits and vegetables as a gift to the Great Emperor? Not to mention that they were grown “during leisure time.”

So you’ve traveled thousands of miles to Return to Dragon City, mainly to plant some vegetables, and then, by the way, stirred up a storm and decided on the Emperor’s son candidate?

He nearly couldn’t help it and almost kicked Wang Shouzhe into the lake.

Fortunately, Emperor Longchang after all had lived for over three thousand years and his cultivation of calm was adequate. He took a deep breath to suppress the impulse to kick Wang Shouzhe and kept silently reminding himself.

Longchang, oh Longchang, you are a Great Emperor, you should be magnanimous, you should have grandeur, lest you be belittled by Wang Shouzhe, and he later “criticizes” the Great Emperor behind your back.

“Alright, Old Yao, assign someone to take these to the royal kitchen for processing. Later, I’ll enjoy a few drinks with Shouzhe,” said Emperor Longchang with an air of “I am the emperor and won’t fuss over this.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” obeyed Old Yao.

“Come, come, Shouzhe, come sit here.” Emperor Longchang warmly beckoned Wang Shouzhe to sit in front of a chess set and said kindly like an elder, “Shouzhe, you have a meticulous mind full of schemes, surely your chess skills must be quite exquisite as well. Come, let’s spar a couple of rounds.”

Wang Shouzhe’s cheeks trembled, and he thought to himself, are you kidding me, Your Majesty?

His poor chess skills were already well-known in Return to Dragon City.

What Emperor Longchang wanted wasn’t a game of chess; he clearly held grudges against Wang Shouzhe and wanted to vent, finding an excuse to do so through a chess game.

However, since the Great Emperor has requested it, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t refuse and promptly accepted, “Shouzhe obeys.”

With that, he posed himself and began to play against Emperor Longchang.

An Commandery Prince who was watching from the side could not help but chuckle.

Regardless of Shouzhe’s chess skills, at least his posture was on point, giving off the air of a peerless master.

Sadly, all glitters are not gold~~

Shouzhe was simply a hopeless chess player.

Sure enough.

Half an incense stick later, Emperor Longchang, like a sweeping autumn wind, mercilessly trounced Wang Shouzhe.

“What a relief!”

Emperor Longchang felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a cup of Mysterious Ice-chilled Immortal Wine on a scorching summer day, and even the frustration in his heart dissipated a lot.

Consequently, he looked at Wang Shouzhe with less fury, somewhat more pleasing to the eye unintentionally.

“Your Majesty’s chess skills are superb, Shouzhe admits defeat.”

Losing at chess was nothing new for Wang Shouzhe; after all, he had grown accustomed to losing. With his chess skills, he could usually only beat the likes of Wang An Nan on regular days.

“Shouzhe, don’t be modest. I see your chess skills are also quite decent, come, let’s have another game,” encouraged the emperor.

How could such a delightful occasion end after just one round?

Emperor Longchang’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Soon, they started the second game.

Having gauged Wang Shouzhe’s chess skills, the emperor played new tricks in this round, feigning defeat first, then luring the opponent deeper, and finally delivering a checkmate that left Wang Shouzhe utterly astonished.

“Oh, Shouzhe, you were careless, weren’t you? One wrong move, and the whole game is lost. Come on, let’s play another round, I’ll give you a chance to turn the tables,” Emperor Longchang beamed with a rosy complexion, feeling exhilarated and a bit high on the victory.

Bullying other bad chess players didn’t mean much, but bullying Wang Shouzhe was entirely different.

Emperor Longchang felt that he would never tire of tormenting Wang Shouzhe, even after thousands of games.

Two hours passed.

Four hours passed…

At first, An Commandery Prince had amusedly watched, but as time went on, he grew sleepy. Then he simply went out for a long stroll and came back to find Emperor Longchang still gleefully dragging Wang Shouzhe into game after game, tormenting him.

With no other choice, An Commandery Prince went out for another half day’s outing.

Only at dusk did the royal kitchen deliver various delicious dishes, and Emperor Longchang, who had been trouncing Wang Shouzhe for dozens of rounds, finally stopped, still with an unfinished appetite.

He patted Wang Shouzhe on the shoulder: “Shouzhe, overall your chess skills aren’t bad, just a few points short compared to mine.”

“Don’t get discouraged, don’t get discouraged. Practice more with me, and your chess ability will surely soar,” Emperor Longchang praised his chess skills against his true feelings, leaving the pretext to torment Wang Shouzhe again in the future.

An Commandery Prince looked at Wang Shouzhe sympathetically.

After all, it was for his own plans that Shouzhe had offended His Majesty and suffered this “retribution”. If there was a chance, he must make it up to Shouzhe.

Soon, the royal kitchen and the imperial guards set up a casual evening banquet on the waterside pavilion.

Emperor Longchang, feeling exhilarated from his enjoyable bullying of Wang Shouzhe, eagerly invited Wang Shouzhe to have a few drinks and asked An Commandery Prince to join in accompaniment.

Among the dishes served by the royal kitchen, a small portion was made from the Spirit Melons and Spirit Vegetables brought by Wang Shouzhe, while most were delicacies meticulously prepared by the royal kitchen.

Indeed, as dining arranged by the Transcendent Emperor, although this table of dishes was “homemade,” the spread was still of considerable prestige. Emperor Longchang also specifically prepared many Level Seven culinary delicacies for Wang Shouzhe, as a compensation for the several dozen rounds of bullying he had just endured.
