Chapter 268: Trip to the Beach (Act 5)
Chapter 268: Trip to the Beach (Act 5)
Dark, dark, still dark...
The room Jiang Ming was in was dark at the moment, with only a few candles lighting up the surroundings. His body was also bathed in sharp vision that could sting his skin. If a person with a weak will were here, he would have fainted long ago because he could not bear the oppression.
"Hmm..."
Jiang Ming hummed softly and rolled his eyes to check the situation around him.
In a space of about 25 square meters, there is a large table, and Jiang Ming, Raiden Mei, the Queen, Anna, Beichen Mei, Yulandel, Yaezakura, and Yuexia.
Siegfried, Cecilia, Raiden Sae, Alexei, Alexandra.
Bronya, Rita, Yae Rin, Kiana, Bella, and Sirin sat down around the table.
The buttocks of most people around Jiang Ming barely touched the chairs. They leaned forward as if they were about to pounce on Rita, or to be more precise, on the wooden sticks with numbers and crowns engraved on them in the bamboo tube in Rita's hand.
Their sparkling eyes were staring at Rita. This scene made Jiang Ming feel a little nervous. Rita spoke lightly.
"So... who is the king?"
At that moment——
"—!!"
Everyone around Jiang Ming simultaneously supported themselves on the table with their hands and leaned out, like piranhas rushing towards flesh and blood thrown into a pond, scrambling to grab the wooden sticks in the small bamboo bucket.
In the blink of an eye, most of the wooden sticks disappeared from Rita's hands without a trace. This is a game of luck, not speed... Even if I tell them this, I'm afraid they won't listen.
The storm raged past, the moon was trembling, and adults like Cecilia, Raiden Sae and good children like Sakura, Mei and Jiang Ming slowly drew the remaining wooden sticks, and of course, there was also Kiana who was a little unhappy.
"very good!"
The Queen raised the corner of her mouth slightly and showed the wooden stick with the unique crown mark in her hand.
Jiang Ming swallowed lightly: "So... Queen, what are your orders?"
The Queen looked at Jiang Ming with an invading gaze, then raised her right leg to him. She was not wearing any clothes to cover her, not even socks. Even in this dark environment with only candlelight, one could see her perfect curves. Needless to say, her fair and smooth skin was still seducing the young man.
"It's simple. Just come to my place."
"I...sigh."
The inner helplessness finally turned into a sigh. After all, the king's order is absolute...
....................
"Want to play the King's Game?"
Jiang Ming looked at the people in front of him who were expecting him, slightly widened his eyes, and pretended to be surprised.
Of course he knew why everyone suddenly wanted to play this game. After all, Rita had already said when they were taking a hot spring bath just now that she would use this game to convince herself to do anything for everyone.
The general idea of the game is to prepare according to the number of people, write "King" on the front end of one of the wooden sticks, and the others are numbers in sequence, and then draw lots. The person who draws "King" becomes the king and can order the others who draw "King" to do certain things.
The king's orders are absolute and cannot be refused. Based on this rule, this game seems to be often played when drinking at parties or socializing... To be honest, this game does not give people a very healthy impression, but rather has a bad tendency.
However, with Bianca's explanation, the rules were slightly changed - if someone becomes king and does not want the person being ordered to take a dare, they can also convert it into a truth.
Jiang Ming thought this was very good. After all, if it was a normal random thing, it was very likely that the king would ask himself, Alexandra or the two mothers to complete some excessive orders, and vice versa, which would make people feel disgusted.
For example, Jiang Ming becomes the king and orders No. 6 to complete an excessive adventure. But if No. 6 is Cecilia, then this excessive adventure must be transformed into a true confession, and vice versa. Of course, according to the character of the people present, the true confession will naturally not be too excessive, and they may only ask some daily questions.
Of course, if the order is really too excessive, then those present will vote - for example, asking Jiang Ming and Bianca to do something overly shameful on the spot.
If the number of people who think the above order is excessive is greater than the number of people who think it is not excessive, then this order must also be converted into the truth.
The person who received the order only had to answer one question from the king, but the prerequisite was that he must not lie and must speak the truth, which of course no one would lie about given their character.
[PS: In summary, who gets drawn, what adventure to complete, or what truth to answer are all chosen by the author himself, so please keep some h or disgusting thoughts to yourself.]
But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Ming felt that this was a game aimed at him.
You said it was a big dare, right? Why not just let yourself do it? Even if I think it's too much, what if the girls also want to give me this excessive order after I become king? So it's very likely that no one will vote for me.
Are you telling the truth?
Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue and Bella said they would not participate in the game, while Rita said she would be the referee and also did not participate.
Because Himeko drank too much and soaked in the hot spring for so long, she fainted and was carried into the room by Theresa. I heard that the latter was very angry and had already considered deducting her salary. Theresa also did not participate in the game because she had to take care of Himeko.
That is to say, there are a total of 17 people including Jiang Ming, and at least half of them will target him after becoming king. What is the difference between this probability and asking him directly?
"..."
"Oh...Okay, but this game should last a long time. It's 8 o'clock now. How about we play until 10 o'clock and then go to bed? If it's later, it will be staying up late."
Although he knew that playing this game would mean he would be at a disadvantage for a long time and might be asked to do some excessive commands, Jiang Ming still agreed to it for their happiness.
Kiana went back happily to report: "Great! Everyone! Jiang Ming agreed! We can play until 10:00!"
Yae Rin's lovely blue eyes sparkled: "Really? I thought half an hour was the limit."
More people breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.
Rita clapped her hands and smiled as usual: "This is really good news. Let's get ready. There will be no shortage of snacks and drinks."
Jiang Ming, who was being pulled by Yae Rin, was a little stunned. Did they not think that he would agree to this game?! He had considered so many things at once, but the person who initiated the game challenge did not hold out hope?? He was the only one who thought so much?
Damn it, I'd better not let myself become the king, otherwise I'll be spanked and punished early!
.................
Everyone sat down on the sofa next to an oversized table in the bedroom, but this was obviously not enough, so someone brought in chairs to form a big circle around the table.
The approximate location is -
Xilin-Mei Hokusatsu-Mei Raiden-Jiang Ming-Bianca-The Queen-Yae Sakura-Yae Rin-Tsuki-Rita-Anna-Bronya-Alexandra-Alexei-Siegfried-Cecilia-Kiana-Raiden Sae-Xilin.
Bella stood behind Xilin, and the others who did not participate or did not like to stay up late returned to their rooms to rest.
PS: Why are there two Xilin?
Because this is a circle, in order for everyone to understand it more intuitively, you don’t need to worry about how big the table is, just treat it as an ordinary daily text.
(′?w??`)
......
"Okay, then Rita, confirm again, you can only rely on your own luck in this game, and you are not allowed to use Honkai energy or any technological means, otherwise Lord Jiang Ming will punish you."
"Why me?!"
Ignoring Jiang Ming's wailing, Rita, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, looked around.
"Well, if you still have questions, please raise them."
"I have a question."
Jiang Ming changed his previous wailing appearance and became extremely serious. Knowing that he usually didn't joke, Rita nodded.
"Excuse me, what is the problem, Master Jiang Ming?"
"I think...compared to luck, this game should be absolutely fair, otherwise most people would definitely feel helpless or resentful."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I question Kiana's luck."
Jiang Ming spoke calmly, but it caused some dissatisfaction from Kiana.
"My luck? What do you mean?"
The white-haired girl frowned slightly, but she did not act silly. She just waited quietly for Jiang Ming's answer. In this respect, she was quite well-behaved.
"Please wait for me and Kiana to experiment a few times. Soon, you will all know what I mean."
After saying that, Jiang Ming took the small bamboo bucket from Rita's hand. Since Rita was not participating but only acting as a referee, there were 17 wooden sticks in it corresponding to the number of people.
"Come on, Kiana, there is only one king among these 17 wooden sticks. The order is messed up. You come and draw one."
"?oh......"
Although she was confused, Kiana still drew a wooden stick in front of everyone - it was the king.
Some were slightly shocked, some remained expressionless, some had their eyes wide open, and some frowned slightly.
Jiang Ming's expression remained unchanged. He took back the wooden sticks and shuffled them again, leaving 17 sticks again. He said in a calm tone.
"Come on, continue."
Kiana drew another punch upon hearing that—it was the king.
.........
This happened repeatedly for more than ten times, and during these ten times, just as Jiang Ming expected - all of them were kings.
Everyone could no longer remain calm and exclamations were heard. Even the Queen, Bianca, and even Jiang Ming himself found it a little weird.
What kind of luck is this? Even the eighth-level Hongyun Qitian Gu is just like this, right? The Immortal Juyang followed Kiana for more than half a year before he created this luck, right?
"As you can see, I think to ensure fairness, let the others draw first. How about Kiana take the last one?"
Jiang Ming's proposal was agreed by most people. After all, the purpose of this game was to make Jiang Ming work for everyone wholeheartedly and tell them some little secrets in his heart.
If Kiana were to play everything alone, she might not have this precious opportunity again next time.
Of course, in response to this incident, everyone will definitely give appropriate apologies in the future, especially Jiang Ming, the proposer, who should repay the favor, even though this game was originally aimed at him.
After re-determining the rules and confirming that no one had any questions, Rita placed a small bamboo tube containing 17 wooden sticks on the table in front of everyone.
"Anyway, let's have a round first."
Next, shout out the specific elongated words as described in the rules of the game.
"Who...is the King—?"
As they finished speaking, everyone reached out to the small bamboo bucket on the table in an orderly manner. Of course, Kiana was the last one, and by the way, Jiang Ming was the second to last.
The result was just as Jiang Ming said, the king was not Kiana, but Yae Sakura.
"Wow, it's Sister Sakura!"
"What a blessing."
Everyone was envious and their expectations grew higher and higher.
"Then please say two numbers between 1 and 16, and then choose truth or dare."
Since the wooden stick in Ying's hand was engraved with the king, there were 16 wooden sticks left. Ying was a little socially anxious, and because she was the first to take the lead, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, especially since Jiang Ming was staring at her with a gleam in his eyes.
"Ah... then, number eight, answer a question for number six."
It's a simple adventure, nothing wrong with it.
After Yaesakura finished speaking, everyone started looking for number six and number eight, but they were then a little surprised - number eight was Raiden Mei, and number six was Raiden Sae.
"Ms. Sae, you may begin asking questions."
Rita reminded from the side.
"Hmm, let me think..."
Sae placed her right index finger on her chin in thought, showing her very girlish side, and soon clapped her right fist and asked the question with a smile.
"Meiyi, have you made it with Mr. Jiang Ming?"
"..."
"Mother-in-law, aren't you being too blunt?!"
"Although it's a good thing to care about your own children, why do you have to do it publicly when you can just ask in private? And what's with that confident and expectant smile!? "
Jiang Ming's mind was suddenly filled with a storm of emotions, but then it quickly calmed down and a flash of inspiration came to him.
"I see! He brought it up in front of so many people on purpose. Whether he did it or not, it was mainly to declare his sovereignty - Jiang Ming is his own child, right? And he brought the Queen with him, so it seems that he treats him as his own child as well. That's good."
When the others heard this question, some tilted their heads in confusion, some blushed and covered their cheeks, some breathed faster and felt nervous, and Yaesakura, who had made the risky request, was among them.
After all, everyone wants to be the first, but what they don’t know is that Jiang Ming’s virginity was taken away by Mistletoe during the trip to the snow mountains.
If someone later asked him who he had sex with for the first time, he would be doomed.
Mei looked away slightly, acting a little shy and hesitant.
"Yes...I have..."
PS: Someone will definitely ask, when? Why didn’t I see it?
The author just briefly mentioned it in the fourth paragraph of Chapter 266. Anyway, Shen He won't reveal the complete details, right?
"Wow, I found out some good stuff."
“That’s the value of this game.”
Some people secretly cheered, but some children like Kiana and Yuexia were confused. However, they quickly got rid of the doubts and began to look forward to the next round.
They drew lots again - the King was the Queen.
"very good."
The Queen glanced around with an indifferent yet serious look, then spoke softly.
"Number 5 and number 10, each complete a great adventure of mine."
Fortunately, No. 5 is Jiang Ming and No. 10 is Yae Rin.
The two of them were waiting for the great adventure of the Queen.
The Queen nodded and looked at Yae Rin: "Just eat whatever is on the table."
After all, the game is mainly aimed at Jiang Ming. He only says two numbers because the upper limit is two numbers and it increases the probability of hitting the target.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the Queen raised her right foot the next second and looked straight at Jiang Ming who was surrounded by several girls in front of her.
"Come here, I will reward you with my feet. Pay attention, fully cover every corner, and then slowly move inwards after finishing..."
"Stop...Stop! I demand a vote!"
Just when she was about to get to the point, Mei Raiden proposed a vote on whether this dare should be converted into truth or not. Although Jiang Ming didn't seem to refuse, no one except the Queen would make such an excessive request.
And according to the final voting results, Her Majesty the Queen naturally lost.
"You think this is too much? I can't imagine what kind of childish demands you will make later."
"Okay... okay, Queen, I will make it up to you. If licking your feet doesn't work, then..."
Jiang Ming stood up and gently licked the Queen's snow-white neck several times. Because there was only candlelight as the light source, no one could see clearly. They only knew what Jiang Ming did.
"At this level, how about adding a true confession?"
The Queen was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"In that case..."
The girl with night-black hair looked back at Jiang Ming and chuckled slyly as if she wanted to take revenge on the people present.
"Slave, among the people present, who do you most want to have sex with right now?"
"......Eh?"
