Dimensionality-Reduced Space.
Xiao Jiao held a scroll of chess records in one hand and pinched up a chess piece with the other, carefully placing it on the board.
Across from her, Xiao Qing happily placed down a piece of her own. "Madam Xiao Jiao's chess skills are improving incredibly quickly. I'm sure it won't be long before you surpass me."
"Easy to learn, difficult to master. Do not underestimate it," Xiao Jiao said seriously, her face expressionless.
"Madam is right." Xiao Qing replied somewhat uneasily, then glanced over at me.
Both Xiaomeng Tong and I were experts in our respective fields, so we were discussing the Origin Universe Crystals nearby and weren't particularly interested in watching the two beginners play chess.
"You're already starting to look the part. After a while longer, you'll be able to play a hundred or so moves against Meng Tong," I teased.
"Since Master says so, then it must be so." Xiao Jiao had a blind faith in me. Whatever I said was fact. Her reply made me reflect on whether I should stop speaking so definitively in the future.
Xiaomeng Tong let out a little laugh and said, "What kind of growth is merely lasting a hundred or so moves? Shouldn't she defeat her husband?"
"Huh? Meng Tong, don't make jokes like that. No one can defeat Master." Xiao Jiao immediately rejected the idea.
"All right, all right. In any case, no one can defeat your master. But there are exceptions to everything. When it came to chess, someone who could ultimately defeat your master would appear. You could protect him in every way during normal times, but what would you do then?" Xiaomeng Tong had been caught off guard and clearly wasn't going to keep playing the good-natured teacher.
