Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1317 - 1317 1276 Game Rules

1317: Chapter 1276: Game Rules 1317: Chapter 1276: Game Rules Tang Yurou and the others were astonished to see an entrance to an underground passage just appear out of thin air; they had never seen anything so magical before.

“All our previous so-called adventures were just child’s play.

This is what you call a real adventure!” Exclaimed Zhang Lei, who, under Lu Chuan’s spell, was free from fear.

“Seems like Cousin’s skills really are formidable; you’re not even yourself anymore.

Logically, at a time like this, you should be wetting your pants…” Gao Qiang added inappropriately.

“If you bring that up again, I’ll never speak to you!” Zhang Lei said through gritted teeth.

“Alright, let’s go down this passage now.

I’ll lead the way; follow closely behind me.

If you fall behind, even I might not be able to save you.”

Lu Chuan did not waste any time and directly walked down into the passage.

Upon seeing this, Tang Yurou and the others hurriedly followed, fearing they’d lose Lu Chuan if they were even a step slower.

The passage was deep and pitch-black, with no end in sight.

Lu Chuan released a flame to illuminate their path.

The entire passage was eerily silent; the only sounds were their footsteps.

After walking downhill for over half an hour, a spacious area finally appeared before their eyes.

Lu Chuan divided the flame in front of him into four and sent them flying in four directions.

They hovered in mid-air, illuminating the entire space.

Only then did everyone realize that they were in a huge cave, adorned with various stalactites that made the setting look quite magnificent.

In the middle of the cave lay a coffin, and hovering above it was a grey sphere.

Once inside, Lu Chuan immediately felt an incredibly dense Yin Qi, and he could now confirm that it was emanating from the grey sphere above the coffin.

If he was not mistaken, it should be a Yin Pearl, a genuine Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

With the Yin Pearl, he should be able to awaken the Tower Spirit.

Lu Chuan felt inexplicably excited.

However, at that moment, the passage behind them suddenly disappeared, and a special force field emerged in the cave, enveloping everyone.

Feeling the force field, Lu Chuan frowned and instantly unleashed a power, casting a protective spell over Tang Yurou and the others behind him.

The next second, a force materialized, teleporting them instantly to the center of the cave, only a dozen meters from the coffin.

However, the ground where they stood was much lower, and the coffin was placed upon a huge rock, creating a height difference of dozens of meters between them.

Suddenly, the lid of the coffin atop the rock opened by itself, and a skeleton, nothing but white bones, rolled out from inside.

Upon seeing the skeleton stand up like a person next to the coffin and looking down at them, Tang Yurou and the others were terrified and shivered uncontrollably.

“That…

that skeleton came to life…”

“Is it watching us?

This is too scary!”

“Although its skull is facing us, it no longer has eyes or any such organs, so theoretically, it shouldn’t be able to see us…”

Everyone looked at Gao Qiang with speechless expressions.

The coffin lid has opened on its own, the bones have stood up on their own, and you’re here talking science to us?

“You’ve arrived.” The skeleton suddenly began to speak.

Tang Yurou and the others turned even paler with fright; a skeleton was talking to them – this incident would certainly give them a lifetime’s worth of stories to tell.

Lu Chuan watched the skeleton with a guarded expression, his Spiritual Power quietly circulating within him as he prepared to fight at a moment’s notice.

“There’s no need to be afraid.

I harbor no ill-intent.

On the contrary, I’m quite happy that you’ve made it here, as it has been nearly a thousand years since anyone has.

Every day I lie in this coffin, bored out of my mind.” The skeleton added, sensing Lu Chuan’s wariness.

“So you’ve brought us here to do what exactly?” Lu Chuan asked.

The skeleton gave off a chillingly eerie smile, “Of course, it’s to have you play a game with me.”

“Let me introduce myself.

I am the skeletal remains of the Elixir Master…

I’ve been dead for many, many years.

Because of some power I had in life, my bones can remain like this, appearing before you now.”

“Perhaps I played too much in life, which led to a lingering spirit after death, wishing for others to continue playing games with me, so much so that I haven’t been able to reincarnate even now.”

“In the thousands of years since my death, many people have come here to play games with me.

When I died, I left behind many treasures here.

Those who won the game got to take a treasure away.

Now, all that’s left is this Yin Pearl.”

“If you win the game against me, you can take away this last Yin Pearl, and then I can finally be reincarnated.”

How much do you love to play, to let this become an obsession after death, preventing even reincarnation?

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but complain silently in his heart, then asked, “What if we lose?”

Bai Gu let out another eerie and strange laugh, “If you lose, you’ll end up like them.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a corner of the cave suddenly lit up, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to find a pile of bones there, nearly forming a small hill.

Tang Yurou let out a scream, “So…

so many people died…”

The faces of the five young people turned extremely pale.

Having always lived a sheltered life, suddenly seeing so many dead people’s bones was naturally a bit too much for them.

The Elixir Master’s Bai Gu made a helpless gesture, “I am not a murderous person.

In my life, playing games with others and their loss only meant a little punishment, never death.

But after my death, due to my intense obsession and inability to reincarnate, losing the game became a matter of life and death.”

“I must make it clear, the punishment was set by the game rules themselves, not by my own intention.”

“Furthermore…

anyone who enters here must play a game with me.

There is no other choice.

Those who refuse to play with me will meet the same fate as those bones.”

Tang Yurou and the others were collapsing a bit.

They had never imagined that this game was not optional.

Lu Chuan coldly looked at Bai Gu, “Then what game do you want to play with us?”

Actually, he had already guessed it—it was nothing more than Truth or Dare.

Bai Gu smiled and said, “The game rules are very simple; just play toss the Copper Coin with me.”

As his voice fell, a staircase suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chuan and the others, with a total of nine steps leading to the location of the coffin.

“There are nine steps here.

You five will take turns tossing the Copper Coin.

If it lands heads up, you can ascend one step.

If it lands tails up, then you must answer a question from me or do something at my request.”

“If any of you honestly answer or complete the task as I request, then everyone will be safe for that round.

But if someone lies or fails to complete the task I set, then your lives will be taken by the game rules.”

“Actually, my game is quite humane; I’m not insistent on taking your lives.

Those who died over there did so because they lied or didn’t follow my instructions, that’s why they were punished by the game rules.

It wouldn’t be too much to say that they deserved their fate.”

“As long as you honestly follow the game rules to play, even if it takes a few more rounds, you can clear the game successfully.

At that time, you can take away my last treasure, leave this place, and I can finally be free to be reincarnated.”

“Isn’t this just Truth or Dare!” Zhang Lei blurted out.

Bai Gu gave Zhang Lei a glance, “Truth or Dare?

I like this name.

Since it is so, let’s start playing Truth or Dare!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than all six people, including Lu Chuan, were enveloped by a special power.

Tang Yurou and the others were somewhat nervous because they could clearly feel the power exerted on them by the white bones, which could take their lives at any moment.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was also a bit uneasy because when that power appeared, he tried to resist it but found that his own power was no match for the opponent’s.

This meant that the opponent’s Realm was above his.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this Elixir Master’s Realm during his lifetime must have reached the Grade 9 Nascent Soul Realm, only one step away from ascending to the Spirit Splitting Realm.

It was definitely impossible to forcibly break the rules of this so-called game with strength.

“Cousin, what should we do?” Tang Yurou looked at Lu Chuan somewhat fearfully.

Lu Chuan looked at them and said, “We’re already within his game rules.

Now, we can only play this game according to what he said, and only then can we leave here smoothly.”

“You don’t need to be afraid.

Zhang Lei was right.

This game is just Truth or Dare.

As long as we play honestly, there won’t be any problems.”

“It’s best that none of you lie or try to cheat.

The power he has placed on us can likely determine if we’re lying.

If any such behavior occurs, it could very well be wiped out by this power, so you must be honest, got it?”

Everyone nodded.

“It’s just Truth or Dare.

When we get together for drinks, we also enjoy playing this game; it’s not difficult at all.

Furthermore, if you fear that he might ask you to do things that are simply impossible, you can always choose truth, which shouldn’t be hard for us at all,” Gao Qiang chimed in.

Everyone seemed to agree with him.

Even Lu Chuan thought what Gao Qiang said made sense, after all, that’s what the game is all about.

Upon hearing this, Bai Gu began to laugh, “In that case, let’s start the game.

Who will go first?”
