Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

"What the hell is this thing?! Why can you all calculate it correctly, but I can't?!"

Looking at the empty table in front of her, and then at the mountain of top-grade immortal crystals piled up in front of Su Daji and the Holy Mother of Wudang, Bai Yaoyao's cold and beautiful face revealed an extremely humiliating sense of defeat for the first time.

She was the dignified Empress of Qingqiu, having lived for countless eons and seen all sorts of storms.

For her, predicting the secrets of heaven and controlling the rise and fall of a clan were as easy as drinking water.

But now, she was stumped by these few small jade pendants!

The combinations and variations of this thing are ten thousand times more complex than her deduction of the laws of the Great Dao!

"Little sister Yaoyao, don't rush. This is called mahjong, a unique leisure activity of our Pangu Palace."

Houtu Niangniang was eating five-needle pine cones on the side, laughing so hard she was shaking.

"Playing this game isn't about cultivation level, it's about luck, and a little bit of scheming."

"Calculation?"

Bai Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. Her greatest skill was scheming against people's hearts, so how could she possibly lose in this area?

"Again! I, the Emperor, am determined to find out today!"

Unconvinced, she waved her hand and pulled out a whole bunch of glittering, top-grade spiritual treasures from her storage space, slamming them on the table as stakes.

"I'm betting a 100,000-year-old Blood Dragon Ginseng this time! Whoever wins keeps it!"

Seeing Bai Yaoyao's bloodshot face, Lin Xuan laughed even louder.

He handed the sleeping Deng Chanyu to the maid beside him and strode over.

"You bunch of women, all you do is bully the newcomer."

Lin Xuan grinned and naturally walked behind Bai Yaoyao, wrapping his arms around her incredibly soft and slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"what!"

Bai Yaoyao was startled by this sudden intimate gesture and froze. A hot, masculine aura instantly enveloped her, making her cheeks, which were already flushed from losing money, turn red all the way to her ears.

"What...what are you doing! Let me go!"

She instinctively struggled, but found that the man's arm was like an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free at all.

"Don't move, I'll teach you how to play."

Lin Xuan completely ignored her protests, resting his chin affectionately on her shoulder, his bright black eyes fixed on the card game on the table.

"Look, you have three 'East Wind' tiles in your hand. Just one more and you can open a meld. Don't touch whatever your opponent plays; just wait for a self-draw."

Lin Xuan's warm breath brushed against Bai Yao's earlobe, his voice deep and magnetic.

His large hand then restlessly covered Bai Yaoyao's fair and delicate hand, teaching her how to draw and arrange the cards.

Bai Yaoyao had never experienced anything like this before.

Being held so intimately from behind by a man, feeling the burning heat from his broad chest and his strong heartbeat, she felt her own heart flutter.

The majesty of an empress, the airs of an ancient powerhouse—all vanished into thin air at that moment.

Her mind went blank; she could only feel the hot breath on her ear and the domineering strength around her waist.

She completely gave up resisting, letting Lin Xuan control her hands as he drew and played cards at the card table.

"You won! You managed to win with thirteen terrible cards?"

Su Daji stared in disbelief at the cards laid out in front of Bai Yaoyao.

Under the close guidance of Lin Xuan, the "sixth brother," Bai Yaoyao actually managed to snatch a "double win" from Wudang Saintess despite having a terrible hand.

"You...you won?"

Bai Yaoyao stared blankly at the mountain of spiritual treasures and immortal crystals in front of her, still somewhat unable to react.

"See, we won."

Lin Xuan chuckled softly in her ear and rewarded her with a kiss on her smooth cheek.

"boom!"

Bai Yaoyao's mind went blank for a second.

Her usually cool and beautiful face turned completely red, like a red-hot iron.

At this moment, she completely abandoned all the aloofness of an empress, and like a docile kitten, she obediently huddled in Lin Xuan's arms, not even daring to lift her head.

The female immortals in the Pangu Palace smiled knowingly at this scene.

It seems another sister has completely fallen for it.

Just as this family was happily preparing to start their next game of mahjong...

The encrypted communication jade slip in Lin Xuan's arms suddenly started flashing wildly and vibrating rapidly.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and casually answered the call.

Immediately, the face of Demon Lord Wutian, filled with fanaticism and excitement, was projected onto the jade slip.

"My lord!"

Wu Tian knelt on one knee in the void, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"I have important news to report!"

"explain."

Lin Xuan spoke lazily.

"It's done! My lord, your scheme to frame someone has succeeded!"

Wu Tian excitedly raised his head.

"The forged 'Blood Letter of Guang Chengzi' that my subordinate forged has now spread throughout the Southern Continent! The lower-level disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect all believe that the other side killed their own people. The forces of both sides have already gathered on the border of the Southern Continent, and tensions are high, and a fight could break out at any moment!"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Xuan's mouth instantly stretched from ear to ear.

"Good job, lad!"

The dog-eat-dog drama is finally about to begin!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the drama unfold!
