342: Absurdity

The Chess Emperor of Eternity heard this, her eyes sizing up Chu Feng, her gaze sweeping over him from top to bottom for a moment, then she said faintly, “What do you think?”

Chu Feng’s mouth curled into a grin: “I guess… you shouldn’t be my Dao Companion, right?”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity looked at the Chaos Palace suspended in the distant sky. Inside the palace, a graceful figure could vaguely be seen, undergoing the baptism of endless Chaos Qi. She slowly said, “Did Water Without Heart tell you that?”

“If I weren’t your Dao Companion, why would I cooperate with you in every way within the Great Dao Chess Game, and contend against the two top forces of the Dao Realm?”

“Oh?”

“What evidence do you have to prove that you are my Dao Companion?”

Chu Feng’s eyes narrowed as he stared directly at the Chess Emperor of Eternity’s Dao Body, which was shrouded by a black dress.

All movements within the Great Dao Chess Game had actually been under his observation.

The other party’s chess skills were actually not bad.

At least much stronger than that stinky chess player, Chess Spirit, even if she was thrown into the most dangerous corner by Chess Spirit.

With her chess skills, she definitely wouldn’t have been trapped there for so long.

If this woman was his Dao Companion, then things were far more interesting than he had imagined.

“If I can’t prove I’m your Dao Companion, are you, this heartless fellow, planning to suppress and kill me?”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity’s eyes held a hint of grievance. At this moment, her demeanor, compared to the calm and composed one seen before, had changed slightly, revealing a touch of charm.

She felt a terrifying killing intent from the man’s eyes. As long as their relationship wasn’t that of Dao Companions, she had no doubt that this man would mercilessly strike to kill.

Chu Feng smiled and shook his head: “How could that be?”

“You at least helped me out and told me about Tianhuang Hall and the Grave Digger. I, Chu, am not such a heartless person.”

“At most, I’ll pin today’s events on you and send you back to the Dao Realm, letting you bear this Karma. That should be fine.”

“Presumably, with your background, you shouldn’t fear these two major forces, right?”

He spoke indifferently, his tone calm and casual.

“You truly are as heartless as ever.”

“If you send me back to the Dao Realm, regardless of whether I have Karma with you, given the actions of those two major forces in the Dao Realm, they will certainly come after me. At that time, as a mere Dao Monarch, I would rather die here than live a life worse than death.”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity slowly analyzed, easily seeing through the implied threat behind Chu Feng’s words.

Sometimes, living is far more painful than death.

Especially after stepping into the Path Domain, where the Dao Body is as tough as the Great Dao itself, there are too many new forms of torture to endure.

She looked at Chu Feng’s eyes, which held no ripples, and shook her head helplessly. Slowly, she walked forward, her lotus steps light, and in just a moment, she was within a foot of Chu Feng.

Just by drawing near, Chu Feng’s nostrils flared slightly, catching a fresh, orchid-like scent.

He made no movement, silently watching this woman, who was a head shorter than him, subtly raise her hand and move it towards his lower abdomen.

“Demoness, do you intend to trick me with your methods?”

He calmly stared at the Chess Emperor of Eternity.

Even the Chess Emperor of Eternity, whose Heart-Nature was as indifferent as hers, felt her breathing become slightly erratic upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, almost losing her composure. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly: “You, fellow, after so many years, you’re still so improper.”

“Take this.”

As her voice fell, a light red scroll appeared between her fingers.

It was placed at Chu Feng’s waist, emanating various Dao Rhythms representing marital ties.

Chu Feng lowered his head, looking at the light red scroll. It seemed familiar. He picked it up casually, and a familiar, gentle aura emanated from his fingertips.

He unfolded it casually, his gaze falling upon the scroll.

Indeed.

It was the same thing Water Without Heart had shown him earlier.

Another “marriage certificate.”

This item was connected to the Great Dao, intertwined with Karma, and could not be faked.

This Eternal Chess Queen, skilled in the Dao of Chess, was indeed another one of his Dao Companions.

“Why do Dao Companions keep falling from the sky?”

“It’s endless.”

Chu Feng closed the “marriage certificate” and subconsciously complained.

He clearly remembered Water Without Heart saying that only those women from the Emperor Realm were his Dao Companions, but he hadn’t expected another one to appear now.

And she came from the Dao Realm, which implied an even more terrifying possibility: perhaps there were other women related to him within the Dao Realm…

“Keep falling Dao Companions?”

“You did those absurd things yourself back then. Are you going to act innocent after getting the benefits?”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity raised her eyes, gazing at Chu Feng, and said faintly.

“Absurd things?”

“Tell me what absurd things I’ve done before?”

Chu Feng’s eyes flickered as he asked her.

The Chess Emperor of Eternity raised an eyebrow: “All the divine threads of destiny from the Great Dao of Marriage were snatched by you. Every prominent woman in this eternal era is entangled with you by destiny, and you still ask what absurd things?”

Chu Feng: “…”

“Could a pure love warrior like me do such an absurd thing?”

He said in shock.

The Chess Emperor of Eternity remained silent, not wishing to dwell on such matters.

Seeing her not respond, Chu Feng didn’t mind. Holding the chaos pearl, he took a step forward, his body pressing against the Chess Emperor of Eternity, feeling a surge of icy Qi instantly: “Then, my Dao Companion, can you tell me which force you come from in the Dao Realm, and why you arrived at this time?”

“I come from ?????, and I came here naturally because I sensed that the Emperor Realm was at risk of extinction and came to assist. I never expected to coincidentally meet my husband, you, who activated the Great Dao Chess Game ahead of time, leading to our reunion through this Opportunity.”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity felt Chu Feng’s arm around her waist and did not resist, answering his question.

However, when she spoke of her origin, a wave of ethereal fluctuations, like a Chaos storm, obscured her words.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes: “An unknowable place?”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity nodded: “It cannot be known in the Supreme Realm.”

“It seems your background is no worse than those trash forces like Tianhuang Hall and the Grave Digger.”

Chu Feng pondered, then suddenly, a warmth emanated from the chaos pearl in his palm. He seemed to sense something, his expression shifting slightly as he instructed the Chess Emperor of Eternity: “You wait here for a moment, don’t move. I’ll be right back.”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity’s gaze also fell on Chu Feng’s palm: “Go. I will guard Water Without Heart’s Dao here in the Chaos Palace.”

She was different from Dao Yi God Lord and the Demon Monk. Her attainments in the Dao of Chess were extremely profound. Those two thought the Chaos Palace was the ultimate Opportunity reward for solving the Great Dao Chess Game, but in reality, the pearl in her husband’s palm was the true treasure.

She watched Chu Feng disappear before her eyes, then looked towards the Chaos Palace, slowly saying, “It’s truly a dream.”

“My husband… has actually returned.”

“It seems this world, after all, has ushered in an unprecedented great change.”

“I hope there will be good news.”
