My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang gently patted his own head with a hint of distress.

It was only now that he came to a realization.

Could it be that Wu Ling had developed some inappropriate feelings towards him?

Wu Ling belonged to the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

And he was the Princely Heir of Duke Zhen's Mansion.

No matter how their relationship developed, they were doomed to never be together.

Cheng Guang had never expected that after only a few encounters with Wu Ling, she would harbor different feelings towards him.

In the blink of an eye.

Cheng Guang thought of many things.

Seeing Wu Ling's tearful approach, thrusting her sword at him, he could imagine how much pain she was in.

Clearly, Wu Ling had no such thoughts.

Instead, it was he who had misunderstood Wu Ling, pushing her to the opposite side.

For a moment.

Cheng Guang felt a trace of guilt in his heart, sighed, and stood still without intending to resist.

His current level of cultivation was much higher than Wu Ling's.

Only if Wu Ling exerted all her strength might she be able to injure him.

Moreover, with the Divine Power of Everlasting in him, even if he suffered severe injuries, Cheng Guang believed he would quickly recover.

Letting Wu Ling stab him with her sword now seemed like a good idea.

Cheng Guang stood still.

Without moving an inch.

As Wu Ling approached Cheng Guang, the Primordial Spirit she had transformed into a golden black Longsword, aimed directly at Cheng Guang's chest.

When the blade touched Cheng Guang's chest.

Wu Ling suddenly stopped again.

She held back the tears in her clear eyes.

She looked at Cheng Guang stubbornly and incredulously.

"Why didn't you dodge?"

Cheng Guang shook his head and after a moment of silence,

he then spoke.

"Wu Ling, you don't happen to have feelings for me, do you?"

After Cheng Guang asked the question,

Wu Ling's eyes trembled, then her arm shook, and she placed the Longsword on Cheng Guang's neck.

"I don't like you at all."

"You're a big liar. You clearly had no cultivation back then, and I beat you countless times, yet you lied to me, saying you let me win."

"How could I possibly like someone like you?"

Cheng Guang looked at Wu Ling, then pushed the blade away with one hand and glanced around.

He then slowly stood up.

Walked to the edge of the lake, and picked up some black and white stones.

They were of different sizes and not symmetrical.

Cheng Guang drew a chessboard on the stone table, pushed all the black pieces to the other side after the board was set,

and then sat down with a flourish.

Lifting a hand, he gestured to the stone stool opposite.

"Come sit, let's play a game of chess."

"If I win this time, we'll call the whole thing off. If you win, I can agree to any one of your requests. Whatever your form of revenge may be, I'll accept it, as long as it's not excessive."

Wu Ling heard Cheng Guang's words.

She stood still.

Dumbfounded for a long while.

Then she took a deep breath.

"Fine!"

Wu Ling said this, tossed aside the Longsword in her hand,

sat down in front of Cheng Guang, picked up a black piece, and placed it firmly in the center of the board.

Cheng Guang also picked up a white piece and slowly placed it down.

The two silently played chess at the stone table.

Just like in the past.

As always.

Except that the atmosphere was different this time.

After a while,

Cheng Guang was about to win.

Perhaps it was because Wu Ling's mind was unsettled, or perhaps because at that moment, her thoughts were not on the game at all.

Cheng Guang won easily.

And just as Wu Ling thought Cheng Guang was going to pick up a white piece and place it on the board,

Cheng Guang suddenly dropped the stone.

He smiled and said,

"I've won, but I can still grant you one request."

Wu Ling frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Cheng Guang.

"Are you mocking me?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, "No."

After speaking, Cheng Guang added another sentence.

"Whatever you want me to do, just tell me."

Wu Ling replied coldly, "What if I want you to die?"

Cheng Guang thought for a moment, "Do you think that might be a bit excessive?"

Wu Ling snorted with laughter, "Excessive? I think it's quite reasonable."

Cheng Guang shook his head, "That request is not possible for the time being. Everyone must die someday, but when I'm close to death, perhaps I could satisfy your wish. Choose another."

"Great Zhou may soon be in chaos. Why not let me lend a hand?"

"Great Zhou will be in chaos?"

Wu Ling's brow furrowed, looking at Cheng Guang with confusion.

Instinctively, she assumed that when Cheng Guang said this, it probably meant that the Duke of the State, or more precisely, the Duke's Mansion, was going to cause trouble.

After all, within the entire Great Zhou, the Duke was the only Sky-Man.

Not a single person in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace could suppress the Duke.

As for her, a minor Crown Prince, it was even less possible.

Cheng Guang smiled and nodded, then added, "Great Yuan might make a move against Great Zhou. If you want to be in power, this is an opportunity you could utilise."

"Why don't you make a request, and let me help you ascend to the position of Emperor Zhou?"

"Great Yuan will make a move against Great Zhou? That's impossible. There's never been a war between Great Yuan and Great Zhou, and the two nations have had many marital alliances."

"Father even told me before that the two countries are old friends."

Wu Ling simply did not believe it.

Cheng Guang did not insist, and with a smile said, "Then do you want to change it?"

"I don't want to change it. Seeing you just annoys me, go away, go away."

Wu Ling waved her hand.

She stood up and walked towards the bedroom in the courtyard.

Cheng Guang watched Wu Ling's retreating figure, stunned for a moment, not expecting her to react this way. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

He shook his head with a chuckle.

At the same time,

Cheng Guang's mood also grew much heavier.

He probably knew what was on Wu Ling's mind.

But,

this kind of love was too much of a luxury for him.

If only Wu Ling were not a member of the royal family, if only Emperor Zhou had not thought of moving against him from the beginning.
