Chapter 186 At worst, it’s just a game

When Xia Ming woke up from the dream world, he held his head and recalled when Theresia looked most confident.

The lively Theresia, the quirky Theresia, the smiling Theresia...

He remembered.

Theresia was most confident when competing and playing games with him.

It was a spontaneous self-confidence that did not require his support and encouragement, and did not rely on his belief, because at that time he had already become her opponent.

That comes from Theresia's own self-confidence in refusing to admit defeat. She will win, she will win, and she will always win.

There was a wonderful magic about Theresia at that moment, a kind of beauty called confidence.

"Theresia, your so-called confidence and determination are just false and inflated confidence that you got from me. I gave you the illusion that you are omnipotent and that you have defeated yourself."

In the square of Yuhuo Town, Xia Ming once again deeply affected the girl's self-confidence.

"You seem to have seen clearly the fact that you are weak in advance. Now, do you still dare to draw your sword?"

Xia Ming said calmly, looking at her calmly with eyes as cold as snow.

The cold wind and snow slapped the girl's cheek, causing her face to lose its color and become pale and cold.

Her fingers nervously and fearfully grasped the corner of her clothes, her emerald eyes trembling in the howling cold wind, shrinking, so weak and pitiful.

She couldn't figure out why Xia Ming suddenly became so cold and heartless, ruthlessly tearing open the wound in her heart and piercing the layer of disguised self-confidence.

Obviously in his own perception, his kindness towards him is still as warm as a burning furnace, but why...

Seeing the girl's devastated look, Xia Ming's lips turned up with a proud smile. He reached out to pick up a strand of her hair and played with it in his hand.

"Theresia, although you have always won, it is a pity that you have lost this game that tests your confidence."

game?

lose?

Theresia suddenly raised her head, and her dim eyes quickly found a glimmer of light. She suddenly understood why Xia Ming's attitude towards her suddenly changed so drastically.

She and Xia Ming obviously play this kind of tacit and no-word game several times a day. Sometimes it's physical teasing, sometimes it's verbal confrontation, and sometimes it's just childlike nonsense, such as glaring at each other to see who can come first.

Blink, whoever speaks first, who can't help laughing first...

However, the situation today was special. She didn't react immediately, and Xia Ming seized the opportunity to come back and win.

hateful!

Obviously this kind of clumsy trick wouldn't work on me before, but that bastard Xia Ming just took advantage of this tense and critical moment and accidentally launched a sneak attack!

"I...I didn't lose! I just pretended to be like this to trick you..."

She turned her head, clasped her hands behind her back, and said harshly as usual: "Hmph, it's obvious that you, a bad guy, were deceived by the disguise I put on. You thought you had won. It's you who failed my primary intelligence test."

…”

At this moment, the bell rang, Luger failed to draw his sword, and a dark and desperate mood spread in the square.

"Then, go and draw the sword, Theresia."

A contemptuous and mocking smile appeared on Xia Ming's face, but at this time, such a smile not only did not hurt the girl's heart, but instead only inspired her fighting spirit.

"Do what you thought before, to boost morale, become the focus of everyone's attention, and then under everyone's expectations and hopes... draw the sword and fail. Theresia, I bet you can't draw the sword."

"Humph, then I'll just pull it out and show it to you!"

The girl clenched her fists and raised her head unwilling to admit defeat. Her confidence and heroism instantly returned to her. She looked at the big sword silently inserted into the ice in the distance, her eyes sparkling with hope.

Xia Ming thinks she can't draw the sword, so he wants to use this as a hope to defeat her?

Sorry, Xia Ming, I will never let you have a chance to surpass me. I will never lose. I will always win, beat you, beat you, win your people, and win your heart!

"You have to think carefully, Theresa, you don't have my support and encouragement this time. The self-confidence you built by relying on me is of no use at all. It depends on you alone. You alone can still muster the courage."

, to take over that mission and break that fate?"

Xia Ming's merciless blow struck again.

Theresia's heart only trembled for a moment, and then became firm again.

No matter how much you treat all of this as a joke, a game or a slapstick, there is no denying the facts in Xia Ming's mouth. She is addicted to false self-confidence, arrogantly thinking that she can defeat everything and accomplish everything.

She also knew clearly that hidden under Xia Ming's cold and shocking words, hidden behind this seemingly joke and game background, was the sincerity that still wanted to warm her despite the cold reality.

Her inflated self-confidence was popped like a balloon. Does she still have the courage and self-confidence to face all this?

I don’t want to lose to Xia Ming, I don’t want to disappoint him.

Therefore, she must win.

The heavy pressure from reality, the suffocating pressure and darkness, if you treat all of this as a difficult game that needs to be cleared in one life, it seems... it doesn't seem so scary anymore?

Yes, life is a game, it is just a difficult game with only one chance and one life.

And it just so happens that what she is best at is games.

She walked to the center of the square with dignity, and Xia Ming followed closely, as if he wanted to see her face of despair and frustration after her failure for the first time.

She rolled her eyes at him, pinched him and ignored him. She walked to the center of the square and began to deliver a speech.

Her beautiful and heroic figure and flying red hair immediately attracted everyone's attention. She accepted the attention of these eyes calmly, and her inner fighting spirit and self-confidence became higher and higher.

She believes she can do it, she is confident she can do it.

This is not an empty self-confidence like a castle in the air that is inflated for no reason, but an absolute confidence that you can win, built up through winning games again and again.

Although it sounds a bit funny and childish, after all, the games she and Xia Ming played have no reference value at all. They are just what she thinks, and they are not even games at all.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she feels it is, as long as she believes that she can win, the worst thing is to treat life as a game, a game of bravely accepting missions and breaking fate.

She will definitely pass this game.

When she attracted all the attention of the audience, and her heroic figure and demeanor once again ignited the hope in everyone's hearts, Xia Ming had quietly slipped to the side of the Red Flame Sword, and gently slid his fingers across the cold sword body, whispering

said:

"Xiao Chi, please give me some face. If Theresia is not far behind your standards in a while, how about you relax a little and let her pass?"

"The evil dragon is coming soon. Only she can exert 100% of your power to defeat and kill the opponent. I can't do it. Even if I hold you, you will die under its full burst of spiritual energy."

"Xiao Chi, it doesn't matter whether I die or not, but if even Theresia can't get your recognition and you just let the evil dragon wreak havoc, you will either be buried under the endless blizzard and never be seen again.

Tianri, or you will be brought back to the lair by the evil dragon and become a toy like metal that it will step on under its feet. I don’t want to see you face such a sad ending..."
