Xia Yao stares at Jiang Nan in stunned disbelief!
Hey hey hey!
What time is it, and you’ve still got the mind for landlord?
There’s trouble outside, clearly surrounded!
Jiang Nan opens his mouth, uses lip language: “No panic!”
Then he crooks his fingers at the two!
“Goo goo goo~ Got it, right!”
“Pah! So naughty!”
“Heh heh, I like!”
The two, now in on Jiang Nan’s plan, can’t help but sneak smirks.
Thus, the three leisurely start playing landlord in the tent!
Xia Yao’s utterly expectant for the battle to come, her pretty face full of excitement.
Decides to go all in!
With a great hand dealt, she quickly says: “This round, whoever wins gets to draw a turtle on any spot on the loser’s body!”
“Xue Xue! Trust me! I’ll definitely win!”
Zhong Ying Xue blushes: “Fine… fine!”
“And Little Nan? Up for it?”
Jiang Nan swallows, eyes lighting up: “Any spot on the body?”
Xia Yao beams smugly: “Word’s bond! Draw wherever you fancy!”
Hmph hmph! Without the bait, how would Jiang Nan bite.
Watch me doodle your face with heaps of little turtles, revenge for my lumpy head!
Jiang Nan chuckles slyly: “Alright then!”
Xia Yao: “A six!”
Zhong Ying Xue: “With a seven!”
Jiang Nan: “Four aces!”
Zhong Ying Xue, Xia Yao: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Why!
Why when we play singles, you drop bombs straight off!
Follow the script, yeah?
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +666!]
[Resentment value from Zhong Ying Xue +365!]
But Xia Yao’s unfazed!
“Hmph! Four twos! Tops it!”
Jiang Nan: “Pair of kings…”
Xia Yao: ???
Cold sweat drips instantly, wait no!
This hand should’ve been mine!
She glances pleadingly at Zhong Ying Xue!
Zhong Ying Xue tosses her cards, coolly: “From now on… remember not to bet against Little Nan!”
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +1000!]
Hey!
Gotta fold this quick?
Xia Yao’s face full of reluctance, but she shuts her eyes, little hands clutching her short-sleeved top…
“Draw… draw away!”
Zhong Ying Xue’s pretty face beet red, lashes fluttering, little heart thumping wild!
Where’ll Little Nan draw?
Not somewhere weird, right?
Let him or not?
But a bet’s a bet, Xia Yao’s already said it…
Jiang Nan grins wickedly!
“All set? Here we go!”
Zhong Ying Xue’s face red as a ripe apple, frozen stock-still!
Xia Yao’s hackles rise, earlobes scarlet!
Oh no oh no!
If Little Nan picks some odd spot, what do I do…
Three minutes later, Jiang Nan exits the tent, wipes sweat from his brow!
“Tsk~ Refreshing!”
Zhong Ying Xue and Xia Yao sit in the tent!
Staring at the over 200 little turtles doodled on each other’s arms, utterly speechless!
What the heck!
Just arms?
We’d braced ourselves mentally!
And you…
Xia Yao covers her face: “Xue Xue, will Little Nan stay single forever?”
Zhong Ying Xue holds back laughs: “If he does stay single forever, Little Nan’s earned it fair and square!”
Out of the tent, Jiang Nan’s mood buoyant!
Drawing little turtles, way too thrilling, right?
His peripheral vision flicks to the woods, Jiang Nan’s brows furrow slightly!
How come no move yet?
This tolerant?
“Big fella, no roast lamb tonight, let’s stew some soup to nourish the body!”
“I’ll cook myself!”
With that, he hangs a big pot, pours in milk!
Wu Liang blanks, why not eat it?
Fine though, he fancies tasting Jiang Nan’s cooking!
See, Jiang Nan pours half a pot of horned dairy cow milk!
Tosses in three bundles of spirit energy chives, cabbage, potatoes and such!
Thinks, adds three jin of antidote little yellow beans!
Still unsatisfied, hauls a barrel of potency potion from the alternate space, dumps it in!
Specially preps the afternoon’s fished-up fish, stuffs it in the pot!
Salt, chicken essence, cooking wine, star anise, cassia, all accounted for!
At this moment, Zhong Ying Xue and Xia Yao huddled in the tent feel chills down their spines!
Hey hey hey!
What the devil is this pot you’ve made!
Dark cuisine?
Potency potion + antidote little yellow beans + spirit energy chives?
Eat that, straight to the heavens?
Nearby Wu Liang’s legs quake!
Damn!
South God, for real?
This pot down, won’t poison us dead?
As the soup boils, white steam rises!
Air fills with milky fragrance and fishy freshness!
Enough to stir anyone’s stomach worms!
Especially for those contestants wind-and-dew exposed ten days in the spirit ruins!
That mouth-watering, swallow-hard urge, drives one mad.
Eyes redden one by one!
Wu Liang watches Jiang Nan excitedly stir the soup, emitting “heh heh~” laughs, can’t help a shiver!
“South Bro! What’s this pot soup called?”
Jiang Nan beams proud: “Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup!”
Pearls there! Antidote little yellow beans!
Emeralds there! Spirit energy chives!
White jade there! Horned dairy cow milk!
Spot on!
Wu Liang smacks lips: “Major tonic!”
“Ain’t it?”
Hiding in the bushes, how can Chu Qi hold back?
Right now, Jiang Nan’s at his most relaxed!
“Jiang Yun! Strike!”
Nearby Jiang Yun’s eyes blood-gleam, full of vicious intent: “Spirit Skill: Heavy Mountain Domain!”
“Boom!”
A massive boom, gravity tenfold in a hundred-metre radius!
Presses Jiang Nan’s body to crouch!
Tent collapses flat!
In a flash, fireballs, water blades, ice spikes rain money-like at Jiang Nan!
See Jiang Nan’s face change drastically, drains white: “Bad! Big fella!”
Wu Liang roars wild, beastifies instant, Bear King Shield slams up!
Followed by dense crackles!
On the other side, Jiang Nan’s void chains snake out, gravity be damned!
Whirl about, coil every waist!
Other end shoots far, locks a big tree dead, then yanks hard!
The five somehow yanked out of Heavy Mountain Domain!
Just then, Jiang Yun’s next Heavy Mountain Domain crashes down!
But Jiang Nan’s seized the chance, teleports all mad, vanishes traceless!
Chu Qi’s face darkens: “Damn! Didn’t you say you could pin him?”
Jiang Yun’s expression ugly, pin Jiang Nan? Where?
Said that just to form the team!
“Don’t nitpick, you lot didn’t breach that tank either!”
“Circle’s this small! Jiang Nan runs, where to?”
“Bound to clash head-on sooner or later!”
Chu Qi snorts cold, says nothing!
At this moment, Ma Hao and Kui Yuan Yang lead a bunch charging up!
Loot the tent’s gear, game console, every item!
Treasures in their eyes!
While Chu Qi eyes the still-boiling milky soup, rubs his belly, licks lips!
Eyes sparkle!
“Heh! At least not empty-handed!”
