Truth or Dare
Hu Liena patted the spot next to the bed. "Qin Chuan, sit here. We're going to do something a little more exciting today."
Qin Chuan walked over and sat down. "What do you want to play?"
Hu Liena counted on her fingers. "Coin of Fate, Rock-Paper-Scissors, Truth or Dare, Destiny Roulette, and Freeze..."
Xiao Wu interjected, "We want to play Truth or Dare."
Hu Liena nodded. "Yes, Qin Chuan, just unleash your Third Soul Skill, that'll be fun."
"Yeah, I want to play this too." Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing spoke almost at the same time.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned. "That's not right, this Soul Skill seems to only be able to be used by others."
Hu Liena explained, "No, Wang Qiu'er told me everything. The dealer can choose the player the first time. After that, they just call out a name to continue the game. From the second round onwards, everyone needs to roll the dice, and the person with the highest number chooses the person with the lowest number."
"Oh, I see." Zhu Zhuqing said in realization.
Qin Chuan looked at the group. "You've figured out even this little secret. Don't tell anyone about this rule, okay?"
"Of course!" they all said in unison.
Qin Chuan stood up, flipped his hand, and his third Soul Ring lit up. A pale golden light swirled in his palm.
"Third Soul Skill, Truth or Dare."
The Clown Dwarf leaped out of the palm, somersaulted in mid-air, and the bells on his hat jingled.
"Game begins! The dealer, please select the first player."
Qin Chuan glanced at the group, then pointed to Hu Liena: "You."
Hu Liena's eyes widened. "Qin Chuan, you..."
The Clown Dwarf flew in front of Hu Liena, grinning broadly. "Please choose, Truth-Telling or Dare?"
Hu Liena gritted her teeth. "I choose dare."
Qin Chuan chuckled, stood up, and pointed to the steel pipe downstairs. "Alright, then go downstairs and do a pole dance."
"Ah, pole dancing?" Hu Liena was stunned.
Qin Chuan explained, "It's about dancing around a steel pipe and making various shapes."
"Haha, this is great!" Xiao Wu laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Nana, you can't be lazy!"
Hu Liena blushed. The game rules were enforced, so she stood up and walked downstairs.
Several people were peering out the window.
Hu Liena walked to the steel pipe on the first floor, took a deep breath, and began to twist her body around the pipe. Her movements were somewhat stiff, clearly indicating that it was her first time doing something like this.
Xie Yue and Yan, who lived on the first floor, were stunned when they saw this scene through their window.
Xie Yue blinked. "That's... Nana?"
Yan swallowed hard, unable to utter a single word.
Hu Liena, her face flushed, finished the game, ran upstairs quickly, rushed into the room, and pointed at Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan, you just wait. The game continues!"
The Clown Dwarf flew into the air. "All players, please roll the dice."
Five dice fell from the sky and landed in front of each person. Each die had a faint golden glow.
Ning Rongrong threw out six points, the highest possible score.
Zhu Zhuqing threw out a small number, the lowest possible value.
The Clown Dwarf flew in front of Ning Rongrong: "Please give Zhu Zhuqing an instruction: Truth-Telling or Dare?"
Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, "I choose dare."
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "It seems everyone is afraid to tell the Truth-Telling. In that case, alright. Zhu Zhuqing, put that fruit in your mouth and feed it to Qin Chuan."
"What? Ning Rongrong, you..." Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red instantly.
Qin Chuan inwardly gave Ning Rongrong a thumbs up. This girl usually seemed innocent, but she could be quite ruthless when it mattered.
Having no other choice, Zhu Zhuqing picked up a grape from the table, put it in her mouth, and walked over to Qin Chuan.
She closed her eyes and handed him the grapes.
Qin Chuan opened his mouth to catch it, and their lips touched lightly.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly stepped back, her face as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
Xiao Wu chimed in from the side, "Oh dear, Zhu Zhuqing, your face is so red!"
"Let the game continue!" shouted the Clown Dwarf.
This time, Zhu Zhuqing threw six, and Qin Chuan threw one.
"I choose dare," Qin Chuan said.
Xiao Wu excitedly said, "Zhu Zhuqing, give him a hard time, make him do a pole dance!"
Qin Chuan's inner thoughts: No way, that would be a disaster!
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment. She had just been embarrassed by Ning Rongrong, and now it was her turn to get revenge. But she was gentle by nature, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Qin Chuan, propose to Ning Rongrong in front of everyone."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "This..."
Zhu Zhuqing took it as revenge for the previous game.
Having no other choice, Qin Chuan specially took out a ring, flowers, and a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue from his Storage Soul Tool, then walked up to Ning Rongrong and knelt on one knee.
Holding flowers and a ring in his hands, he looked up at Ning Rongrong and asked, "Ning Rongrong, will you marry me?"
Everyone was stunned.
This was all very elaborate, with flowers and a ring, unlike the marriage proposal scenes in the Douluo Continent.
Ning Rongrong was stunned, her heart racing. She accepted the ring and flowers, looking at the crystal-clear Whale Rubber in her hand.
"What is this?"
Qin Chuan stood up. "Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, a great thing to enhance strength."
Ning Rongrong put everything into her Storage Soul Tool, a smile on her face, "Then I'll accept it."
Xiao Wu clapped her hands from the side. "Wow, Qin Chuan, you really know how to propose!"
Hu Liena pouted. "The rules of the game are enforced, what's there to envy?"
The game continues.
This time, Xiao Wu threw the maximum point, Qin Chuan threw the minimum point.
Qin Chuan sighed, "A dare."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then said with a mischievous smile, "Qin Chuan, hug Hu Liena and spin her around three times, then say what you most want to say."
Hu Liena blushed. "Xiao Wu!"
Qin Chuan walked up to Hu Liena, picked her up, and spun her around three times. Hu Liena was very light, Qin Chuan carried her with almost no effort.
"Hu Liena, you are beautiful." Qin Chuan said, then put her down.
Hu Liena's face turned so red it was almost bleeding. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Chuan.
Xiao Wu laughed even harder, "Haha, Nana, your face is so red!"
After playing two more rounds of the game, Ning Rongrong was punished by having to sing a song, Xiao Wu was punished by having to bark like a dog.
Everyone is tired.
The Clown Dwarf flew into the air. "Game time is over. Thank you for participating."
After the game ended, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Qin Chuan stood in the corridor, watching them leave.
Qin Chuan returned to his room and lay down on his bed.
So much happened today: the symbiosis of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Martial Soul Evolution, the exclusive secret technique, and the game we just played.
He closed his eyes and sank into the Sea of Consciousness.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lay sprawled in the icy blue space, snoring softly. Its body emitted a faint white light.
Qin Chuan didn't disturb it, but instead checked his own Soul Power.
Level 74, still a while before reaching level 75.
However, with the blessing of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his mental strength surged, and he was confident that he would be able to break through soon.
Qin Chuan opened his eyes and rolled out of bed.
He walked to the window and opened it. The night breeze blew in, carrying away the day's fatigue.
The night in Spirit City was quiet, with only the sound of patrolling guards in the distance.
As Qin Chuan gazed at the distant starry sky, the map of the Douluo Continent appeared in his mind.
The Upper Three Sects and the two great empires are all immediate troubles.
As long as the Game Hall continue to expand, it's only a matter of time before the Spirit Hall unifies the world.
As for the more distant Evil Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire, that's a matter for later.
Get some rest; we're going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect tomorrow.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a knock on the door.
