The Starry Sky Chessboard: Book 6 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  When playing with Black Mage, Cyber Elf Alpha had rarely requested support, asking for increasing the number of planet computers.

  After defeating Black Mage, the next 9 turns of game didn't make any trouble for Alpha.

  Now, there were only two opponents that were still blocking her way from becoming the strongest Star Go player.

  The well-known strongest attack, Orfina the Ruby Dragon.

  The well-known strongest defense, Norn the God of Wisdom, the only 6 star points chess player.

  They didn't make Alpha wait too long.

  As the biggest black horse, Cyber Elf Alpha finally met Norn the God of Wisdom at her 41st turn of the game!

  When the list appeared, it instantly attracted the eyes of all the legend ranked beings who were looking at the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  The biggest black horse, the supernova star of Star Go, Cyber Elf Alpha.

  The strongest chess player, the number one wise man in the endless god's domains, Norn the God of Wisdom.

  Who is the strongest? Who will be the new king of Star Go? Countless people looked at the "tower", waiting for the result.

  Cyber Elf Alpha played 40 rounds and achieved 40 victories in a row.

  Norn the God of Wisdom played 27 rounds and achieved 27 successive victories.

  No matter who was the final winner, everyone was sure that this turn of the game would become a masterpiece throughout the ages. Many people were waiting for the record of this Star Go game after they decided who was the winner.

  At the same time, Yun Xi just started his 15th turn of the game.

  "Hum? This smell... Hey, Casina, is it you?!" Orfina the Ruby Dragon looked at "A Cloud in the Sky" in surprise.

  Even though the figure of "A Cloud in the Sky" was covered with starlights, however, Casina was Orfina's best friend! How could she mistake the unique smell of her best friend?

  "No, I'm not Casina the Battle God!"

  Yun Xi retorted guiltily. He was just a fake, he didn't want to expose his identity now!

  "Humph, liar. How will I mistake your smell? Don't forget the past we slept in the same bed!"

  Orfina licked her lips, remembering Casina's alluring body scent, slender legs, warm lips, and the aroma of the wine.

  Chapter 406: Different Tengen

  A Dragon was a kind of long-lived creature.

  Orfina was a rare "starlight" dragon, the ruby that Yasha the Dragon God bred in person, the starlight dragon princess.

  Although she was still small, due to her elegant, beautiful dragon body and rare starlight type, she was the pride of the dragon race since the first day of her birth. She and Mumu Salabert the White Holy Dragon were called the twin stars of the dragon race.

  Casina the Battle God was Orfina's best friend, they once formed an adventure team, adventuring together.

  Casina was the striker, defeating their enemies using her excellent martial arts; Orfina was the defender, eliminating their enemies using her special gem magic.

  They were the best friends who talked told each other their secrets, and the confidantes who once slept on the same bed. To Orfina, Casina was special in her heart.

  Casina's character was careless, and this was the point that Orfina liked.

  Because of their long life, most dragons had no interest in any humans. After all, apart from legend ranked humans, even the lives of hero ranked humans were short in their eyes. Maybe they just went to sleep, then after they woke up, their human friends had died.

  Just like most dragons, Orfina also liked to sleep, however, she had a special avatar. When her true body slept in the Emerald Dream, she could use her avatar to travel around the world.

  Meeting with Casina was her happiest occasion within the last one thousand years.

  She clearly remembered Casina's height, weight and even the size of her breasts, so she would never mistake her with anyone else.

  The mysterious person whose code name was "A Cloud in the Sky" was undoubtedly her best friend, Casina!

  The immortal Battle God, whose hobby was dancing, the holder of the Sands of Time, Casina the Sky Sword!

  "No, you got the wrong person!" Yun Xi shook his head and firmly denied.

  Even if the "ruby princess" was really Teacher Casina's best friend, he wouldn't admit it!

  It's a secret!

  "Ho ho, why are you still pretending..." Orfina smiled and covered her mouth. Yes, this is her, Casina's special character! What a liar!

  "Yes, I don't make mistakes. If I'm wrong, it's the fault of the world!"

  "I'm not wrong! If everyone thinks that I'm wrong, I will correct the view of everyone!"

  "If the world doesn't accept me, then I will change the world!"

  This was Casina, the sixth Sky Sword, the legend who ruled the Battle God's Championship Contest!

  But, when did she start to play Star Go?

  Orfina remembered that she taught Casina the rules of Star Go before, but she had no interest in it and even fell asleep when she listened to her lessons. She didn't even remember the basic rules of Star Go!

  Orfina felt sorry for her, because Star Go was her favorite game, the stage she could challenge almost all the sophists in the endless god's domains.

  Her code name "Ruby Princess" was well-known by almost all Star Go players. After all, apart from Norn the God of Wisdom, everyone was defeated by her more than once.

  "Black Mage" thought that his "Sea of Chaos" could restrain her attack, what idiotic nonsense that was!

  When she played with Black Mage, she knew all the tricks he was playing. However, she still chose to face the tricks with her strongest attack, breaking all the obstacles in front of her.

  "I will break all obstacles. No matter who my opponent is, god or demon, it doesn't matter!"

  "I look forward to the battle, I'm eager for the battle, only the battle can let my blood burn."

  "March forward courageously is forever the style of my chess pieces!"

  Orfina looked at her opponent with curiosity after confirming that it was Casina.

  She didn't remember if Casina played Star Go before, but there was already 1 star point above her head, which meant that Casina had achieved 10 victories in a row, becoming one of the top 100 Star Go players.

  Is she really the Casina I know?

  The invisible Battle God started to play Star Go?

  Orfina felt strange. It wasn't Casina's style at all!

  "You go first, I give up." As Casina's "predecessor" of Star Go, Orfina gave up the guessing odd and even game and let Casina play first.

  Is it fine? Looking at the 5 star points above the Ruby Princess' head, Yun Xi wondered. She was undoubtedly the strongest opponent he had ever met after coming to the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  Referred to the game of Go in the real world, 5 star points meant that she was an expert of Star Go, and Yun Xi could feel the strong sense of self-confidence from the Ruby Princess.

  Her atmosphere was far stronger than Black Mage, which could only be cultivated after countless victories.

  The game started, a fiery-red star map appeared on the chessboard.

  Yun Xi was slightly surprised.

  "What a beautiful star map!" Orfina praised looking at the star map.

  Interpreting the secrets of stars using a star map, it was an overwhelming masterpiece to Orfina the Ruby Dragon!

  "The fire is burning. The sun comes up in the east, there is a tree called Fuso..." Yun Xi's hand subconsciously picked up a chess piece and put it onto the center of the chessboard.

  "Tengen?" Orfina felt both funny and annoyed.

  "Casina, I remember when I taught you the rules of Star Go, I told you that you shouldn't put your first chess piece onto tengen."

  "Putting your first chess piece onto tengen is equal to giving up your upper hand advantage, it's common sense!"

  "If you put down your first chess piece there, you will need to calculate the situation on the entire chessboard from the beginning. It isn't
a wise choice."

  Yun Xi looked up at the "Ruby Princess" in confusion.

  Why? The most terrible "ko" is lurking in this position.

  It was a shadow with a pair of fiery-red wings, flying above the thirty-three heavens. It was the absolute dominator of this star map!

  Chapter 407: Orfina's Feeling

  "This star map is a fire type, it's possible to breed a fire type fantastic creature."

  "I think it's a Rathalos, an ultimate fire dragon that can defeat all creatures on this starfield."

  "You chose the red chess piece, it was a wise decision, but you put it on the wrong place."

  Orfina the Ruby Dragon put down a chess piece on a corner of the chessboard.

  If she put her chess piece in the center of the chessboard too, the depletion of her computing power would be hundreds of times more than the computing power she would use if she put her chess piece on the corner. Therefore, unless she was teaching other people the rules of Star Go, she would never put the first chess piece in the center of the chessboard.

  What's the most important element when playing Star Go?

  Computing power. Essentially, Star Go was a game to complete the computing powers of the chess players.

  Calculating the nature of the star map, the moves of the chess pieces and the changes that would happen as time went by.

  Every move on the chessboard would be determined after countless calculation. This was the essential gap between Star Go and other board games.

  Just like the changes of stars in the real world, even Orfina had the power of starlight, she was not quite sure that she could calculate all the changes that would happen on the chessboard.

  However, she naturally understood the natures of the star map and chess pieces, plus her excellent computing power, this was her trump card to be the only 5 star points chess player who was only slightly inferior to Norn the God of Wisdom.

  Maybe there were some people whose computing power was stronger than her, but her understanding about star maps was the best.

  For instance, when Orfina first saw this star map, the method of how to form the Sanctuary of Fire on the chessboard immediately appeared in her mind.

  She even predicted the ultimate form of the Sanctuary of Fire, a Rathalos, one of the overlord fantastic creatures in the void!

  Just like what Black Mage did, using Black Death Hexagram to summon the shadow of the God of Death, the strong Sanctuary of Fire could achieve the same thing. It was the skill that only high star points Star Go players could master, the phenomenon after deeply exploring the rules of stars.

  I will win! After predicting the figure of the Rathalos, Orfina had seen the road of victory.

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  Orfina put down her chess pieces quickly. Even in the face of her best friend, Casina, she wasn't going to play match-fixing.

  She knew Casina was obsessed with winning, so was she. Casina would turn into an invincible battle god in the Battle God's Championship Contest, smashing countless legend ranked warriors' self-confidence, she did the same thing in the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  Her purpose of playing Star Go was to pursue the thrill of victory.

  Therefore, no matter who her opponent was, she would defeat her opponent using the most fierce attacks!

  "Casina, it's unexpected to see you here. I remember I didn't tell you the reason why I like to play Star Go." Orfina had confirmed that she would win this game within 10 rounds. She showed a smile of confidence on her face.

  "I have a younger sister, her name is Mumu Salabert, which means the purest white light."

  Yun Xi's hand suddenly trembled, almost putting down his chess piece at the wrong place.

  Mumu Salabert? Oh, it's really a familiar name. Isn't she the dragon who broke into White Lotus Sword Domain and slept in the Water God's World?

  She was the first legend ranked being Yun Xi had ever seen.

  So, the White Holy Dragon, Mumu Salabert is the young sister of the "Ruby Princess"? In this case, the real identity of the "Ruby Princess" must be a dragon in the Dragon God's Domain.

  "She is a naive but kind child. She knows nothing about the cruel world, as innocent as white paper."

  "From the bottom of her heart, she believes that her father likes her, he just had to leave her for some reason. She believed that as long as she keeps looking for her father, she would find him someday and obtain his love again."

  Hum? Why do I feel that I have heard some similar words before?

  "Unfortunately, I know it's impossible."

  "That bastard, he abandoned his wife and child and left nothing to them. How does he deserve their love and trust?"

  "We can't change the past, but we can protect the present and create an ideal future."

  "Every man is bad in nature! Poor Mumu, she hasn't known that her father is a bastard. Her mom is just one of that man's victims."

  "Tell me, Casina, do you think such a father still deserves his daughter's love?" Orfina asked.

  "Well... she'd better give up looking for him..." Yun Xi answered honestly, and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

  From the description of that man... why did it... sound like my past life?

  It must be a coincidence!

  "Yes, it is nonsense that women are not as outstanding as men! We don't need to rely on men! We are women, but we can create our bright future with our hands!"

  "Star Go is my battlefield. I will overcome all opponents here, proving that I'm the king of the Starry Sky Chessboard!"

  Orfina the Ruby Dragon looked at Casina with longing.

  Oh, my favorite soul mate!

  Your romantic spirit, your innocence, your wayward character, your strong strength, they are all so attractive!

  You are the invincible Battle God, the most beautiful dancer, and now, you even start to play Star Go! You are the most perfect lover in my dream!

  Casina the Battle God, my light, my hope, my precious!

  I swear to the great stars! After I win, I will immediately ask her to marry me!

  It must be the arrangement of fate to let me meet her at this time, this place, this stage!

  This stage of the greatest wisdom in the endless god's domains is our wedding scene!

  This time, I must win!

  Chapter 408: The Golden Red Light

  Orfina's wonderful future was already close enough to touch!

  They were both at the legend rank and had great talents, and now, they even started to like the same game. From the bottom of her heart, Orfina thought that Casina was the other half of her life.

  When she was still a child who longed for her father just like her younger sister, Mumu Salabert, she asked what the feeling was to fall in love.

  "Love is an impulse from the bottom of your heart. When you look at your lover, you will naturally realize that he is the right person."

  "No matter how many opponents I will have, I will be the final winner."

  "No matter how much I will pay, I will let him become my possession."

  "Never give up, never fall back, even if the entire world is against me, I will be honest to my heart."

  "If you meet such a person one day, just do what you want."

  "We dragons never concede!"

  When Orfina was bigger, she knew what the terrible mistake her father had made was. She felt confused.

  "Mom, my father is so indecisive and frivolous, why do you like him?"

  The great dragon god opened her black wings, covering countless stars. She answered her confused little daughter, "So what?"

  "Hum? But... isn't love a resonance between two lovers?"

  "Yes, I'm also doing my best, but I still can't kill those 'three'..." The dragon god swung her tail, knapping three newborn stars.

  "Why don't they just quit without affectation? I'm the only one who loves him in this world!"

  "If I caught him at that time... I shouldn't be decei
ved by him and agree for him to build these star bridges!"

  "Liar!"

  Orfina's great mom's answer really shocked her young heart. For the first time, she realized that her mom wasn't omnipotent, at least, her father once deceived her mom.

  After that, Orfina started to study the star bridges and towers. Relying on her familiarity to stars, she finally came to the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  When she first saw the star map on the Starry Sky Chessboard, her heart was captured. She believed that this was her holy land, her battlefield.

  In this world, she could show herself, proving the value of her life.

  Just like the Battle God's Championship Contest was Casina's highest stage, this was her highest stage too.

  At this time, at this place, she would defeat Casina and obtain the highest glory in this mystery world, just like what Casina obtained in the Battle God's Championship Contest!

  It would be the best celebration after proposing!

  Therefore, I will do my best.

  Calculating! Calculating! Calculating! I will win after 7 rounds! Orfina gave her whole attention to the golden red chessboard.

  Her chess pieces and Casina's had captured all the main points on the chessboard, however, her chess pieces had dominated most of the areas on the chessboard. Casina's chess pieces were divided into two corners, looking like a pair of wings that had been torn open.

  Anyone who knew the basic rules of Star Go could see that Orfina had occupied the absolute advantage.

  "Casina, don't concede quickly, I have something to say after this game." Orfina took a deep breath with a serious look.

  "Hum? Concede?" Yun Xi looked at the chessboard in confusion. Everything just went smooth, the pair of wings were already going to form. Is there something I don't see?

  "Yes, I'm sorry because I will let you face a crushing defeat, but, keep your chin up! As a rookie, you are doing well."

  "I didn't suspect that you would also play Star Go someday." Orfina said honestly, praising "Casina", the most perfect dream lover in her heart.
