Do any of you still want to challenge this Emperor~?

Fine, I admit the streamer's drawing skills are indeed impressive, but that doesn't prove she's the Empress.

Exactly! Didn't she say she's proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? She should at least prove the others too, right?

Agreed. Isn't it normal for an Empress to know all these things?

In the live stream chat, a portion of the audience remained unconvinced and was arguing.

Long Yue didn't get angry. Having just shown off in front of everyone in the live stream, she was currently feeling quite pleased with herself.

"Of course. Since this Empress has spoken, I am by no means deceiving you all."

"What else do you mortals wish to see this Empress demonstrate? Speak up and let me hear it. I shall grant you special permission today~"

"You should feel honored. Ordinary mortals cannot witness the display of this Empress's talents."

Live stream audience: ...

The streamer is too smug!

No! I can't stand it!

Can someone please put the streamer in her place!

Seeing Long Yue's smug and self-satisfied demeanor, the audience in the live stream became indignant.

One person directly gifted a rocket, along with a comment:

"Since the streamer claims to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I'll challenge your chess skills!"

"Ooh! A gift...!"

Suddenly receiving a gift, Long Yue leaned excitedly towards the screen, afraid she had misread.

After confirming it was indeed a rocket gift, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.

This was a genuine gift reward, not like the Demon Supreme's encouraging gifts. This was extra income for her household!

"Thank you to this mortal named 'Number One Online Chess Player' for the gift."

"Since you're willing to spend a gift to challenge this Empress, I'll reluctantly give you this opportunity!"

At this point, Long Yue paused, feigning difficulty.

"However, I don't know where you are. How shall we play this game?"

In the Immortal Realm, there is a treasure called the 'Myriad Sight Immortal Orb'. By channeling spiritual power into it, one can see scenes hundreds of thousands of miles away through the orb's surface.

Currently, she and the netizen were separated by a screen. This screen was like the 'Myriad Sight Immortal Orb'. Although it was just a small screen, it was unknown how far apart they were.

Hearing Long Yue's words, the audience in the live stream burst into laughter and doubt:

No way, the streamer doesn't even know how to play chess online?

Hahaha, is this the streamer's first time using a computer?

It's almost like an Empress who's just arrived on Blue Star.

Hahaha, it's normal for an Empress not to understand online chess.

I suspect the streamer has never played chess before.

"Hmph, this Empress has indeed never used this thing before!"

"You all wait, I'll find someone to ask."

Facing the mockery and ridicule in the live stream, Long Yue frowned slightly, snorted in dissatisfaction, and then turned to Lin Fan for help.

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, quietly got up, and went to her side. He took her mouse and helped her install a platform specifically for online matches, creating a game room.

Long Yue sat on the chair, staring dumbfounded, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"This thing called a computer is truly convenient...!"

In her impression, playing chess required chess pieces, a board, and a case. Most cultivators who enjoyed chess carried them with them, and sometimes they had to fly tens of thousands of miles to visit others to find someone to play with. Here, all it took was opening a game room online!

The convenience far surpassed that of her Immortal Realm!

After setting up the room, Lin Fan retreated, his task complete. Long Yue took back the mouse and said impatiently:

"I've got it ready, bring it on!"

"Let this Empress see how the mortals of this world play chess~"

As she finished speaking, the netizen with the username 'Number One Online Chess Player' entered the room.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream was increasing. Soon, someone recognized the netizen.

I know this person, he's really good at chess!

I've seen him in other chess streamers' live streams. He's challenged many streamers!

["I heard this guy used to be a professional Go player. Ordinary people really can't beat him!"]

["This should show if the streamer is the real deal or not."]

[...]

The people in the livestream chat were discussing animatedly, and Zhou Yan couldn't help but worry.

"Lin Fan, can sister-in-law win against this person?"

"Hmph, just watch quietly."

Lin Fan let out a soft snort, his expression calm and composed, showing no trace of worry at all.

From Long Yue's relaxed and at-ease expression, he couldn't detect any tension or anxiety from her. Her face was filled with the confidence and composure of her former self as the Empress.

Judging by her demeanor alone, he was certain she absolutely wouldn't lose!

"I'll let you have the first move, I'll let you go first."

Long Yue rested one hand on her cheek, holding the mouse with the other. Her lazy, casual words were filled with arrogance and confidence.

The opponent heard this and didn't hold back, vowing in his heart to make her regret it.

Soon, with the drop of the first black stone, the chess match officially began.

Long Yue's eyes were fixed on the screen expectantly. Almost as soon as the opponent made a move, she would immediately control the mouse with one hand and place her stone, without any hesitation or pause.

In contrast, the opponent would think for at least tens of seconds, or even longer, before each move.

After about half an hour of play, after Long Yue placed another stone, the opponent this time thought for nearly half an hour without making a move.

The audience in the livestream chat grew more confused the more they watched, while those who understood the game became increasingly shocked.

["Why hasn't he made a move yet?"]

["I don't know, maybe he fell asleep."]

["Stupid! He's thinking!"]

["To make the Number One Online Chess Player think for so long, the streamer really has skill!"]

["Oh no, could she actually be the real Empress!"]

[...]

Long Yue didn't rush to urge the opponent. Instead, she smiled faintly, quietly waiting for him to make his move.

In games like this, it was common for the opponent to take a long time to think.

She once played against an old immortal from the Immortal Chess Sect, and he took a century to make a move at longest. She had even gone into closed-door cultivation and come out of it before he finally moved…

The time she was waiting now was nothing at all.

After waiting for another ten minutes, the netizen named 'Number One Online Chess Player' unexpectedly chose to concede, much to everyone's surprise.

"I forfeit!"

With that, the Number One Online Chess Player exited the game room and disappeared directly from the livestream.

The people in the livestream chat were stunned.

["He just surrendered like that?"]

["They only played for this long, is the streamer that strong?"]

["This is the first time I've ever seen him voluntarily surrender…"]

["Holy crap, the streamer is legit!"]

[...]

"Hmph, to be able to recognize the gap between us and this Empress is quite praiseworthy~"

Long Yue let out a proud, soft hum, her pretty face filled with satisfaction and triumph.

In the Immortal Realm, when playing chess with others, regardless of winning or losing, her heart had always been calm. If she won, she would lightly say "you let me win," and if she lost, she would admit it frankly and challenge them again later.

Winning against these mortals now, she shouldn't have been happy according to reason. But thinking about how they had doubted her strength and identity before, mocking her with sarcasm, all she felt now was one word:

Awesome!!

This was much more satisfying than beating those old monsters from the Immortal Chess Sect!

"Next, does anyone else want to challenge this Empress~?"
