Chapter 381: It's Your Turn! (Fourth Update)

A small hotpot! Everyone had a great time eating!
But Jiangnan alone stopped eating halfway through, no matter what—he wouldn't touch anything in the pot anymore!
He munched on cucumber dipped in sauce on the side, with a guilty look on his face.
Yu Qingqing: "Nan Shen? Why aren't you eating? Not to your taste?"
Jiangnan rubbed his belly and squeezed out a faint smile: "Uh... I'm full!"
Xia Yao: "Don't worry about him! He just ate three plates of meat! Heh, can't eat anymore, right?"
Nightingale: "The rest is all ours then!"
Jiangnan covered his face, wondering how many bathrooms Yu Qingqing's house had...
He was already prepared to teleport at any moment!
But until the meal ended, nothing unusual happened at all!
Jiangnan was stunned.
What's going on? No reaction?
Could it be that Yu's mom didn't put in her own Detoxifying Soybeans? Just regular soybeans from home?
Or was the effect diluted by the soup?
Everyone ate until their bellies were full!
Victoria: ...
They cleared the table and checked the time—only eight in the evening, still early.
Yu Qingqing turned around and crawled under the bed, pulling out a deck of playing cards!
"How about we play cards? The loser gets a flick on the forehead!"
Xia Yao was the first to raise her hand, her face full of determination: "I want revenge!"
Zhong Yingxue bared her fangs: "Revenge! Revenge!"
Yu Qingqing and Nightingale were both stunned for a moment.
Such a grudge?
Even the usually calm Xuexue was full of fighting spirit?
Little did they know, back in the Thousand Lakes Island Spirit Ruins, the two of them had played Landlords with Jiangnan and never won a single round!
He had drawn little turtles all over their bodies! Even now, thinking about it made them grind their teeth!
Revenge night! It's now!
Jiangnan twisted his neck and gave a sinister smile: "Looks like we'll have four more unicorns today!"
"Hmph! Arrogant!"
"Come on, let's fight!"
"My forehead flick can kill someone, you know!"
"Have you ever seen the Vajra Finger Technique?"
15 minutes later!
Nightingale and the other three sat at the table, all holding their heads with tears in their eyes!
Their smooth foreheads were red from the flicks!
Jiangnan leisurely shuffled the cards, smoother than Chow Yun-fat!
For a space-type, cheating was no problem at all, right?
"How about we just call it a night? My fingers hurt from all the flicking!"
[From Nightingale...]
[From Yu Qingqing...]
Xia Yao: "No way! I have to flick you today, or I'm not sleeping!"
Zhong Yingxue gritted her teeth: "Let's keep going!"
Jiangnan grinned and placed the cards in the middle.
Xia Yao and Nightingale exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
Then Zhong Yingxue winked at Mila.
Mila's little face was serious, taking on the mission!
She crept over to Jiangnan to act as a little spy.
Maybe it was just a blur in the eyes, but Nightingale's figure seemed to flicker for a moment.
Then they started drawing cards.
Jiangnan looked at his hand and his face darkened.
Terrible!
Stupid Nightingale! Don't let me catch you!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yingxue and the others were buzzing with excitement.
Even with their toes, they could tell they had a good hand!
Everyone was full of energy.
Nightingale's eyes lit up as she looked at her cards! If she didn't win this round, she'd find a piece of tofu and crash into it!
Jiangnan, just you wait! I'll flick you till you cry!
"I go first! I'll start!"
"Pair of Aces!"
Then she looked at Jiangnan smugly.
Heh! Block you right away! Let's see how you play!
Jiangnan: "Can't beat that!"
"Uh... I mean literally, I can't."
Nightingale's smile froze instantly.
Xia Yao: "Pfft—Mmph!"
Ah! Can't laugh!
Nightingale has to save face!
Zhong Yingxue bit her lower lip and lowered her head, holding back so hard she crumpled the cards in her hand!
Yu Qingqing: ???
[From Nightingale's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Nightingale...]
In an instant, her ears turned red!
I should be happy that Jiangnan can't beat me!
But why do I feel like even if I win this round, I've lost in life?
This joke is never going to end, is it?
What the heck, "Can't beat that"!
Ahhh! Jiangnan! I'm going to flick you till you explode today!
In a flash, a cold blade gleamed! A short knife was pressed against Jiangnan's neck!
Nightingale ground her teeth.
"You play it!"
Jiangnan flinched, swallowed his saliva, and put on a scared expression as he glanced at his hand.
"Not that... I want to, but my cards don't allow it!"
I don't have anything bigger than a pair of Aces!
Nightingale glared: "I don't care! Or else I'll chop you!"
Jiangnan said weakly: "Then... a pair of sixes!"
Nightingale glared at Jiangnan angrily: "Fine, I'll count that as beating me."
Jiangnan let out a long sigh.
Is playing cards really this life-threatening?
It was Zhong Yingxue's turn to play.
But by now, everyone's expressions were off. Their stomachs rumbled nonstop.
Suddenly, the room filled with fragrance, a garden of aroma!
Zhong Yingxue's face flushed bright red.
"Pair... pair of eights!"
Everyone in the room exchanged glances, silently understanding not to say anything.
Jiangnan: !!!
It's Xuexue! It must be Xuexue, right?
Blushing so hard—it's totally exposed!
You're too cute!
Xia Yao was also going crazy!
Why does my stomach have to hurt now!
No way! I can't leave the table now!
We're about to beat Xiao Nan! If I get up, he'll definitely switch my cards!
But... I can't hold it anymore!
Quick-thinking, she slammed two cards hard on the table with a "smack"!
"Pair of tens!"
Then she visibly relaxed.
Jiangnan couldn't help but laugh.
Da Lang Mie really is a clever little fox!
So many tricks—I'd give you a hundred points for that move!
But Yu Qingqing was also in trouble. Seeing Xia Yao's method, her eyes lit up!
She mustered all her strength and threw her cards down hard!
"Smack!"
"Pair of Jacks!"
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiangnan frantically pinched his own thigh!
No way! If I laugh, I'll definitely get beaten to death by the group!
But Xiao Yu, you're not careful enough! The curtain behind you just fluttered!
By now, the fragrance in the room was extremely rich!
Mila couldn't hold on any longer; she dashed out of the room like the wind!
Everyone was desperately holding out! They had to win against Jiangnan first!
This was a life-or-death game!
Nightingale bit her lower lip, struggling to pull two cards from her hand.
"Pair of twos!"
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled!
Oh ho ho!
Nightingale is quite the little fairy, huh?
Give you a thumbs up!
Nightingale took a deep breath. Seeing Jiangnan not playing, she got anxious!
If you keep stalling, I won't make it!
"It's your turn!"
Jiangnan was startled. "Is it my turn to let one out?"
At those words, Zhong Yingxue and the others all froze in place!
They all lowered their heads, faces bright red!
This... so embarrassing!
What the heck, "your turn" meant it's your turn to play a card, not to let out gas!
What kind of magical brain circuit is this?
Embarrassed? You're embarrassed!
[From Nightingale...]
[From Xia Yao...]
Instantly, the Resentment Value list exploded!
Enough for a ten-draw!
Jiangnan panicked. Would he be beaten to death tonight when he went to sleep?
"I'm going to the bathroom!"
"I... me too!"
"And me!"
Several of them stood up and headed straight for the door.
Just at that moment, the door opened!
Yu's mom walked in carrying several cups of Happy Fat Guy Cola!
She noticed a slight haziness in the room.
"Are you guys thirsty? Want some..."
The next second, her eyes rolled back and she fainted straight backward!
Jiangnan reacted quickly and caught her.
Yu Qingqing: ∑(°口°๑)
"Mom! What's wrong? Mom!"
Jiangnan's face darkened.
She was clearly knocked out by the smell!
Everyone present was guilty!
Just like an avalanche—no single snowflake is innocent!
Huh?
Seems like another strange metaphor popped up!
