Chapter 1115 - 80: Great Emperor VS Shouzhe! Narrowly Avoiding Collapse_2

He knew early on that Your Majesty’s skin wasn’t thin, so naturally, he wasn’t surprised.He casually took out large bags of fruits and vegetables from the Storage Ring [Endless Abyss], and handed them to Old Yao beside him: "I know Your Majesty lacks nothing, and I’m unsure of what to gift. These fruits and vegetables were grown by Shouzhe during his leisure time; consider them a token of goodwill."

Fruits and vegetables?

Emperor Longchang’s old face twitched slightly.

Giving fruits and vegetables as a gift to the Great Emperor? Not to mention they were grown during "leisure time."

So you traveled tens of thousands of miles to Gui Long City, mainly to grow vegetables, then caused a great upheaval, and determined the Emperor’s Son selection?

He almost couldn’t resist kicking Wang Shouzhe into the lake.

Fortunately, Emperor Longchang, having lived for over three thousand years, was quite skilled in self-restraint. He took a deep breath to suppress the urge to kick Wang Shouzhe, constantly reminding himself.

Longchang, oh Longchang, you are a Great Emperor, you must have great tolerance and presence, lest Wang Shouzhe looks down on you, and later secretly "discusses" the Great Emperor behind your back.

"Alright, Old Yao, have someone take them to the Imperial Kitchen for processing, then later I will have a drink with Shouzhe." Emperor Longchang had a demeanor of "I am the Great Emperor, I won’t quibble with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao accepted the task.

"Come, come, Shouzhe, please sit here." Emperor Longchang warmly invited Wang Shouzhe to sit at a chess table, kindly speaking like an elder, "Shouzhe, your mind is meticulous, your strategies are manifold, I suppose your chess skills are equally refined. Come, let’s have a match."

Wang Shouzhe’s face twitched, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, are you teasing me?

Wang Shouzhe’s poor chess skills were already notorious in Gui Long City.

Emperor Longchang wasn’t looking for a match, he was clearly full of resentment towards Wang Shouzhe and wanted to vent his frustration without other outlets, so he found an excuse to play chess.

However, since the Great Emperor requested, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t refuse, so he obliged: "Shouzhe accepts."

He then assumed a posture and began playing against Emperor Longchang.

Prince Anjun watched with secret amusement.

Regardless of Shouzhe’s actual chess skills, at least his posture looked perfectly like an unparalleled master.

But unfortunately, all show without substance~~

Shouzhe was, purely and simply, a terrible chess player.

Indeed.

After half a stick of incense, Emperor Longchang effortlessly crushed Wang Shouzhe with the ease of sweeping fallen leaves.

"Satisfied!"

Emperor Longchang felt as if he had drunk a cup of Immortal Wine chilled with Profound Ice on a sweltering summer day, his body entirely content, his previous frustration greatly dissipated.

Even Wang Shouzhe seemed tolerable, his perspective on him brightening slightly.

"Your Majesty’s chess skills are superb, Shouzhe concedes."

Losing at chess didn’t bother Wang Shouzhe; he was used to losing frequently. With his chess skills, he could only beat Wang Anan occasionally.

"Shouzhe, don’t be modest, I find your chess skills quite extraordinary too. Come, let’s have another match."

Such a satisfying activity can’t end after just one match.

Emperor Longchang’s eyes shone brightly.

Soon, the two began a second game.

Knowing Wang Shouzhe’s chess ability, the Emperor added new tricks: first feigning defeat, then luring him into a trap, ultimately delivering a decisive move, leaving Wang Shouzhe stunned.

"Oh dear~ Shouzhe, see how careless you were? One wrong move and the whole game is lost. Come, let’s play another, I’ll give you an opportunity to turn the tables." Emperor Longchang was glowing, pleasantly exhilarated.

Bullying other terrible players couldn’t compare to bullying Wang Shouzhe; it was completely different.

Emperor Longchang felt that he could bully Wang Shouzhe a thousand times and never tire of it.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed...

Prince Anjun initially watched with amusement, but as it dragged on, he grew sleepy. Eventually, he wandered off for a while, returning to find Emperor Longchang still enthusiastically playing and teasing Wang Shouzhe.

Lacking alternatives, Prince Anjun left again for a lengthy stroll.

Until evening, when the Imperial Kitchen sent various delicious dishes, having tormented Wang Shouzhe for dozens of rounds, Emperor Longchang finally stopped, albeit reluctantly.

He patted Wang Shouzhe’s shoulder: "Shouzhe, your overall chess skills aren’t bad, just slightly inferior to mine."

"Don’t be discouraged, don’t be discouraged. Practice with me often, and your chess skills will improve rapidly."

To pave the way for future teasing of Wang Shouzhe, Emperor Longchang complimented his chess skills against his sincerity.

Prince Anjun looked at Wang Shouzhe with sympathy.

Come to think of it, Shouzhe offended Your Majesty while scheming for him, thereby inviting this "revenge." In the future, whenever he had a chance, he must make it up to Shouzhe.

Soon, the Imperial Chef and Inner Guard set up a casual evening banquet on the waterside platform.

Emperor Longchang, having bullied Wang Shouzhe comfortably, warmly invited him for a drink and asked Prince Anjun to join them.

Among the dishes sent by the Imperial Chef, a small portion were spiritual melons and vegetables brought by Wang Shouzhe, while most were meticulously prepared by the Imperial Kitchen.

After all, this was Emperor Lingxu; although the table appeared "homey," the display was still splendid. Emperor Longchang even specially prepared several dishes with Tier Seven Ingredients for Wang Shouzhe, making up for bullying him for dozens of rounds earlier.
