The improved female villains regained their memories.

Xiaoyu had to speak up again.

“If the three of you insist on vying for the right to stay overnight in the next room, I have another suggestion.”

--------

Fight the landlord.

If Yang Pingsheng were here, he would definitely recognize this game very well.

The rules are simple: it is played by 3 players using a deck of 54 cards (including jokers). One player is the landlord, and the other two players are the opposing team. The two teams compete against each other, and the team that runs out of cards first wins.

The well-known bombs and straights go without saying. In the game of Dou Dizhu, as long as there are time travelers, they will definitely shout "Fellow countrymen!"

Xiaoyu found a deck of cards from somewhere and explained the basic rules. The three female villains weren't stupid; they understood how to play after listening for a moment.

"There are five rounds in total. Whoever has the most points wins, and the winner gets to stay in the room next to the young master. That's roughly the rule. Any questions?"

On the stone table in the pavilion, four people sat in different places, listening to Xiaoyu explain the rules. The other three shook their heads.

The rules are simple, and the process is low-key. Accepting the consequences of your bet is indeed a good idea.

“However, young lady, I have a question,” Xu Anlu asked. “As you said, the landlord is one side and the two peasants are the other side. Suppose someone is always the landlord and then the peasants keep winning, wouldn’t the two peasants have the same number of points after five rounds?”

Wen Shihan and Luo Benmo nodded; both of them had noticed the problem.

Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then the two farmers can have another showdown. I have my own way of doing it."

That's what she said. What she didn't say was that the situation Xu Anlu was worried about would never actually happen.

Putting aside the hidden conflicts among the three, even just for the sake of winning, these three people would have hundreds or thousands of schemes up their sleeves and would never allow themselves to remain in the position of landlord or peasant forever.

After explaining the names and combinations of the cards in detail, Xiaoyu picked up the playing cards.

"During the game, cheating with killer moves, spiritual energy, or traces of the Great Dao is strictly prohibited. If caught cheating once, half of your points will be deducted. Now, if there are no problems, I will begin dealing the cards."

As soon as Xiaoyu picked up the playing cards, she smiled and looked at Wen Shihan:

"Can we stop setting up the formation?"

"Tsk." Wen Shihan curled his lip and removed the large array outside the pavilion.

"And Your Highness, now that your sister is back, she shouldn't be hiding in the pavilion peeping."

The red-haired soul descended from above, spat at Xiaoyu, and hurriedly fled back into her older sister's body.

Xiaoyu sighed helplessly and looked at Luo Benmo again.

Luo Benmo looked at her and said, "I didn't do anything."

Your feet.

Under the table, Luo Benmo's foot emerged from his shoe, his delicate, white toes holding a shard of mirror between them.

"You didn't say we can't use cheats."

"Then let's change the rules a little. No matter what method we use, cheating is not allowed. Do you all understand?"

The three nodded. Anyway, it hadn't started yet, so getting caught wouldn't deduct points.

Xiaoyu was a little tired. Maybe letting these shrewd people play Dou Dizhu (a card game) wasn't a good choice.

But since things had come to this point, she had no other choice but to start dealing cards to the three of them.

In the first round, Xu Anlu caught the exposed cards and started calling for the landlord.

She looked at the cards in her hand, pondered for a moment, and then called out, "1 point."

Her voice carried hesitation and uncertainty, giving the impression that she had a good hand but not many cards.

However, no one fell for it.

"Could your acting be any more fake?" Wen Shihan was speechless. "Is it even necessary to act like this?"

"I didn't act, believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, it's your turn to get one point."

In order, the next one is Lobenmo.

She closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No."

The pressure was put on Wen Shihan.

She glanced at the cards in her hand and sneered, "Three points."

It's all about confidence.

The three cards were dealt to Wen Shihan. She tidied up the cards in her hand, and her expression subconsciously changed.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to act anymore?" Xu Anlu squinted. "What's going on here?"

"Hmph, mind your own business. Hurry up and play cards, three of a kind."

Wen Shihan played a pair of threes, and Xu Anlu and Luo Benmo followed up with pairs of fives and nines respectively.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Shihan played a pair of j, Xu Anlu refused, Luo Benmo played a pair of k, and Wen Shihan immediately played a pair of a.

Lobenmo didn't stop, pressing out a pair of 2s.

Wen Shihan raised his hand, indicating that he should not.

Luo Benmo looked at the cards in his hand, closed his eyes again to feel them carefully, and then played a 6.

Wen Shihan plotted, and after a few moves, Xu Anlu frowned slightly, pressed the 'q' button, and when it came to Luo Benmo, she closed her eyes to sense it again and chose not to.

But this time Wen Shihan took it and bet on it.

Luo Benmo slammed the cards shut and closed his eyes to rest.

Xu Anlu looked at her strangely: "What are you doing?"

"I'll assume you don't want the rest." Luo Benmo yawned with his eyes closed. "Go ahead and do it."

"?"

Xu Anlu couldn't understand what this guy was up to, and could only face Wen Shihan alone.

Seeing that the opponent played a K, she played an A.

Wen Shihan refused, and Xu Anlu looked at the cards in her hand and decided to pass with a small single card.

So she played a 3.

"You played this card? If that's the case, then I really have to thank you."

Wen Shihan smiled sinisterly and played a 7.

Xu Anlu was not fooled; she chose to ignore Wen Shihan's performance no matter what.

"So-called growth is about constantly overcoming obstacles. You can't shake me like this, because I have already surpassed my past self."

Xu Anlu smiled and played an 8: "As for you, is it because you've realized you can't get rid of all the cards in your hand in one go?"

"This behavior is meant to tell you," Wen Shihan said, throwing the king aside, "that from now on, your defeat is inevitable."

Xu Anlu stopped smiling.

Wen Shihan still had eleven cards left, but she played the King to seize the initiative, which was enough to show that she no longer wanted to play single cards.

Xu Anlu looked at the cards in her hand: 22k101010106654. She did have a bomb in her hand, so stopping it wasn't impossible, but...

She glanced at Luo Benmo, who still had his eyes closed and showed no intention of participating at all.

[The opponent has played the King, which means the Little King is in Luo Benmo's hands. The probability of the opponent having a bomb composed of four 10s is very low. However, the probability of scoring will double if this bomb is played. If Wen Shihan wins, coupled with his status as the landlord, he will immediately pull ahead of us by a large margin.]

Xiaoyu's rules are that the winner gets points and the loser loses points. If Xu Anlu loses the first round, she will get negative points.

This woman's expressions, words, and demeanor are all completely unbelievable; she's such a nuisance.

In the end, Xu Anlu chose to play it safe. Since she had the bomb in hand, she wanted to see how Wen Shihan would proceed.

Wen Shihan played a straight: 34567.

As usual, Luo Benmo did not play, and Xu Anlu did not have a straight in her hand.

Hope lay with Xu Anlu. She calmed herself down and began to think about what the other party's remaining six cards were.

She pondered for a long time, but ultimately chose not to move. Wen Shihan continued to play, and played a triple Q with a 9.

"Report a pair." Wen Shihan smiled sinisterly and gestured to Xu Anlu with the cards in his hand.

The remaining two cards look very much like a small pair. If Xu Anlu doesn't take them, Wen Shihan is very likely to win directly.

Can't wait.

Xu Anlu decisively used the bomb.

She secretly watched Wen Shihan and noticed that he seemed relieved on the surface, signaling her to continue, but in reality, his eyelids twitched and he was restless.

[Oh, I see, it's a couplet.]

Looking at the cards left in her hand, Xu Anlu chose to play a single card, discarding a 4.

"Sorry, I won."

A photo of Xiao Wang was taken by Wen Shihan.

"What!?"

Xu Anlu was stunned. She looked up at Wen Shihan, whose face was now devoid of any smile or subtle expressions, only filled with cold indifference.

"It's really not easy to fool you. I don't think there's anyone with a bigger name than me, Xiao Wang, right now?"

Luo Benmo closed his eyes to rest, while Xu Anlu was still puzzled by the small joker on the table. There were indeed no bigger cards left on the table.

"Well then, I accept the victory in the first game."

Wen Shihan played his last card, a 9.

This guy not only broke up the two jokers, but even broke up the pair with a three-of-a-kind and a single extra card at the end.

With both her expressions and words, her entire purpose was to deceive Xu Anlu.

"...You bastard."

For the first time, Xu Anlu looked directly at the celestial beauty before him: "She really shouldn't be underestimated."

"You flatter me, let's start the next round."

Five rounds of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) passed by under the cover of night.
