Chapter 196 - Li Xianxian Appears!

Chapter 196 Li Xianxian Appears!

It was obvious that she was rejecting him. Besides, she was actually really scared, even though it did not show on her face. She was well aware that for people like Chu Tianjiao, if you reject him for any reason, he could very well kill you for that.

This was a deterrence she felt from inside out. Chu Tianjiao was really like a live demon.

When his lips curled even more acutely, and the smirk in his eyes grew more intense, Tang Xia knew that this was the sign that he was going to erupt. At this exact moment, a voice came from the back. It could not be more familiar to Tang Xia.

“May I have the honor to dance with His Royal Highness?”

Tang Xia instantly froze on the spot. She turned and looked towards the person, and realized that it was indeed the one she was thinking of!

It turned out to be Li Xianxian!

Li Xuanxuan smirked at Tang Xia. Her gaze was filled with scorn.

“So what if you wore the most elegant gown? You still could not conquer the male population as well as I can. Hence, the winner of this game will definitely be me!”

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Tianjiao’s eyes when he saw Li Xianxian, but it was gone after a while. A mild sinister smirk hung on his lips, as he slowly got up and walked towards her.

Li Xianxian’s heart was instantly filled with joy. She knew that, no matter what kind of a man was standing in front of her, they would not be able to resist a well-behaved and beautiful woman.

Hence, as long as she treated them a little better, all men would definitely bow to her charms, eventually.

Li Xianxian looked at Tang Xia and laughed sarcastically. Tang Xia was a woman who did not know how to make use of her charms, nor did she know how to go with the flow.

Here, in this Garden of Eden, Tang Xia would definitely not survive. Li Xianxian believed that the final winner would be her.

Just when Li Xianxian thought that Chu Tianjiao would surely invite her to a dance, Chu Tianjiao suddenly stopped in front of her. Li Xianxian looked at him in confusion, and asked, “What’s wrong, Your Royal Highness?”

When she looked at him from a closer distance, she realized that this man had an inexplicable fatal force, which made him very attractive to women.

He was like an opium-poppy, his beauty was beyond words. She had to admit that this man was even more deadly than Ye Yifan.

However, Chu Tianjiao suddenly stopped just one centimeter away from her face. She could feel his breath blowing onto her face. After keeping quiet for a while, he lifted his hand and caressed her cheeks.

Speaking in a highly seductive voice, he said, “Although you’re pretty…”

Li Xianxian was surprised. He was actually complimenting her! A joyous expression spread across her face instantly. However, he continued with the rest of his sentence. “But I met someone even more beautiful than you, today.”

After which, he released Li Xianxian, and turned around to look at Tang Xia.

Li Xianxian stood there for a long while, as her brain refused to process what had just happened. She did not expect him to reject her outright! She had always been a girl who received so much attention all these years, when was she ever treated like this?

She threw a deadly glare towards Tang Xia. What did he mean by someone more beautiful than her? What a joke! She was the prettiest! How could she be looked down by an NPC? How could it be? She was so mad that she soon became breathless.

Standing where she was, it was the first time that Tang Xia felt that Chu Tianjiao was quite cute. Only a demon would be able to hurt other peoples’ feelings, in this kind of situation.

Li Xianxian looked at Tang Xia. Although Tang Xia did not have any expression on her face, she knew very clearly, that she must be laughing at her, silently!

She would not accept defeat in this battle, between Tang Xia and herself! She threw Tang Xia a deadly stare and stomped away.

Tang Xia really wanted to laugh out loud in her face, but when she remembered that the devil Chu Tianjiao was still by her side, she had no choice, but to face him.

Chu Tianjiao looked at Tang Xia, and walked towards her slowly. This time round, she no longer avoided or stepped back. She stared back at him, and her gaze was filled with silence. Chu Tianjiao raised his brow. Was this woman finally getting it?

“Would you like to dance with me?”

Chu Tianjiao seemed to be trying his best to make himself appear more normal. There was no weird expression on his face. Since Tang Xia had already cooperated, he would not show her any more bad expressions.

Tang Xia frowned, after listening to what he said. She actually wanted to reject his request, but she knew very well that it would not be possible.

No matter what, she had to have this dance today. Just like forcing her to put on this gown, he could get other people to grab hold of her and force her to dance with him.

At the end of the day, there was only one rule. In this place, no one could go against him.

Seeing Tang Xia’s slightly hesitant expression, Chu Tianjiao felt a little angry and frowned. He was obviously annoyed. He turned and leaned towards her ear.

“Otherwise, I will force you to dance with me, like how I forced you to wear the gown. How’s that?”

Tang Xia was startled. She started to break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, it was exactly what she thought. If she did not follow his orders, he would do it by all means.

Tang Xia looked at Chu Tianjiao and remained silent for a while. Chu Tianjiao looked back at Tang Xia. She changed from being hesitant earlier on, to have a little fear, before she finally settled into having the calm look she had now. All this while, her eyes revealed an endless cold gaze.

“Okay, I’ll dance.”

Chu Tianjiao was surprised. He then had a sudden realization, that she was indeed the woman that he had been searching for, for such a long time. Truly, she did not disappoint him.

Chu Tianjiao laughed softly and stretched out his hand, as an invitation. Tang Xia placed her hand into his, and at that moment, the whole auditorium seemed to quieten down.

Everyone focused on Tang Xia and Chu Tianjiao on the stage, and ignored the bunch of crazy women below the stage. The music started playing. Bit by bit, the sounds of the cello slowly filled the auditorium.

Tang Xia’s heart was thumping loudly. One step, two steps, every step she took, she came closer to Chu Tianjiao. Everything seemed to be so perfect. There was a term called ‘a match made in heaven’. The image of the two of them together, was probably like that.

“Are you happy?”

Tang Xia was startled. She looked up at Chu Tianjiao, and for an instant, she saw that his eyes seemed to be red, and he looked just like a devil. She was so scared that she wanted to push him away. But luckily, she retained her wits. She silently watched Chu Tianjiao, as he danced. It was really best for her to stay as far away from this man as she could.

Suddenly, Chu Tianjiao came closer and whispered. “This is just the beginning.”

Tang Xia was startled and looked at him in shock. What was this gorgeous pervert saying?! For some reason, his sentence made her panic, as if it was a system reminder saying that the game had just started.

The dance came to an end, as the music stopped.

Tang Xia pushed Chu Tianjiao away forcefully, and fled if she was escaping from the gates of hell.

Chu Tianjiao looked at her reaction, and suddenly smiled. This would only make the game more interesting. After which, he turned and left.

Tang Xia did not know how far she ran. She was so worn out that she had to lean against a table, to catch her breath. Chu Tianjiao was giving her so much pressure.

Just as she was resting, she suddenly caught sight of a small girl, eating by the dance floor. She walked towards her and striked up a conversation.

She did not know the rules of the game at all. Besides, the system had yet to give any mission. Until now, she could only rely on herself to gather any information. Hence, she could only do so, by asking more questions. “What is your name?”

The girl was startled. She turned around and looked at Tang Xia. “Your gown is so beautiful!”

As she spoke, she put down the items in her hand, skipped over to Tang Xia’s side and caressed the fine diamonds on her gown.

Tang Xia rolled her eyes a little. “Haha, really? Is it beautiful? ” It was indeed quite beautiful. But she did not like it at all, since it was a gift from the pervert.

“Really? Haha.”

Tang Xia did not want to talk about the gown. Just as she was about to change the topic, the little girl suddenly looked at her and said, “My name is Zhu Yuanyu, you can call me Pearl.”

Tang Xia was surprised. She felt that this girl was quite cute. She then asked, “Do you know what place is this?”

The girl went silent for a while, before she looked up to her and said, “This place is called the Garden of Eden, but…”

Pearl suddenly leaned closer to her and said softly, “Chu Tianjiao is a pervert, he keeps a collection of beautiful women, just so that he can lock them up and have them fight it out with each other.”

Tang Xia stared at Pearl in shock. Indeed, she did not expect her to be so forthright. After all, she could see for herself very clearly, that Chu Tianjiao was a pervert.

But…she finally understood why he was doing all these things. Why he would single her out, make her wear the gown and only invite her to dance.

It was very obvious that he was pushing her to the frontline, to make everyone go against her, to start this disgusting war. This was indeed the Garden of Eden, the sick desire of a pervert was really incomprehensible.

After staying silent for a while, Tang Xia asked in confusion, “Then have you never thought of running away?”

Pearl also stayed silent. She walked towards her and grabbed her hand before walking to the window slowly. She opened the curtains, and they were greeted by the view of the sea and …

“This castle is located on the edge of a cliff. We can’t escape at all. There’s nowhere to escape to.”

This was such a well-designed plan. Everything was related and fitted perfectly. There was not even a single bug. Tang Xia had no choice, but to rub the space between her brows that was giving her a headache. What was she going to do now? There was not even a place that she could escape to.

At this moment, Li Xianxian suddenly walked over to her. Tang Xia looked at her and smiled slowly. “What? You didn’t face enough rejection?”

Li Xianxian threw her a harsh glare. She walked steadily towards Tang Xia, one step at a time. She lifted Tang Xia’s chin. “I will eventually let you know what is called having a taste of your own medicine. Just wait.”

Tang Xia was silent. Did she really understand what that meant?

“This war had already begun. You and I can’t escape.”

A hint of starlight sparkled in Tang Xia’s eyes, suggesting that she firmly believed that everything will end in the way she thought it would.

Li Xianxian scoffed, “The mission has not been given yet and you’re already thinking of escaping?”

Ignoring Tang Xia’s gaze, Li Xianxian felt a little guilty. At this moment, a line of words appeared in front of them.

‘He who remains, is King’
