Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

"So, if they're not going to lock me in a dark room, then I'll just go back?"

The little girl then walked into the Tai Chi formation.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Fan swiftly grabbed her by the neck and pulled her out of the Tai Chi formation.

"what?"

The little girl didn't struggle, letting Lin Fan carry her, her limbs limply hanging in the air.

"I still don't know your name. My name is Lin Fan."

"My name is Jiang Mengyao~"

Jiang Mengyao pointed to herself, took the little girl from Lin Fan's hands, and held her in her arms.

The little girl used her hands and feet to find a comfortable spot in Jiang Mengyao's arms, nestled down comfortably, and squinted her eyes as she spoke, "My nest is called Tai Chi Formation, isn't that what you all call me?"

"How about I give you a name? It's not very pleasant to keep calling you 'Tai Chi Formation' all the time."

Jiang Mengyao poked her cheek and was surprised to find that it actually felt real. She kept pinching and squeezing it.

"Anything is fine, but I'd like the first character of my name to be 'Tai'."

The little girl thought for a moment.

"That's the way it is."

"Taihe Dao, let me think about it."

As Jiang Mengyao spoke, she didn't notice that the expression on the person next to her was a little off.

His girlfriend might think that the two words "Taihe Dao" meant Tai Chi formation and Tao, but how could he not know what they meant?

If this had nothing to do with Laozi and the Supreme Lord of Morality, he would have simply eaten souls upside down.

"How about we call it Dao Shang Qing?"

Jiang Mengyao spoke with a smile.

"No, no, no!"

Lin Fan quickly waved his hand, interrupting her.

"How about we name her Dao Qingwan? What do you think?"

"Um...."

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Mengyao's words, but then she seemed to remember something and sighed.

"Let's still call her Qingwan, I think it's quite nice."

"Okay, then you'll be called Qingwan from now on! You can come and play with us whenever you're bored."

Jiang Mengyao squeezed her tiny hand, which was even smaller than hers, and said with a smile.

"Can I come out and play with you guys?"

Dao Qingwan's eyes lit up.

"Of course!"

Lin Fan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and spoke.

"Perfect timing! I know some fun three-player games. I'll teach you how to play them after I've completed my breakthrough."

"Play games? Sure, sure! It's been so long since anyone played games with me!"

Dao Qingwan's eyes lit up even more.

"How about we play for a bit now? Just a little while, it won't interfere with our breakthrough."

She blinked, her face full of anticipation.

"this...."

Lin Fan and Jiang Mengyao exchanged a glance.

It doesn't seem to work?

I'll just take a day off.

"Okay, shall I teach you how to play?"

"Okay, okay."

Dao Qingwan raised her head and listened attentively.

"This game consists of fifty-five 'cards,' but what those cards are..."

With a thought, Lin Fan used his magic to lift a white bone into the air. As it flew, bone fragments kept falling off, and by the time they reached the three people, they had turned into fifty-five pure white cards.

"These are the cards. There are four sets of 12345678910 and JQK, as well as three wild cards."

"The rules are simple. The lowest card starts from 3, not 1 or 2. If I play a 3, you can only play a 4 or a 2 to beat me, and so on up to the K. The K can only be beaten by a 1. Do you understand?"

As Lin Fan spoke, he drew the shape of each card on the card surface.

"able!"

Dao Qingwan nodded repeatedly.

"Then there's the wild card. This card can be combined with any other card. For example, a 3 and a wild card is called a pair of threes. A 3 and a 4 plus a wild card can be played as 345. Four cards of the same rank is a bomb, which can beat any other card."

"These are the rules. Shall we begin?"

Dao Qingwan: "Okay!"

Jiang Mengyao: "I'm fine with that too."

"Okay, then I'll deal the cards."

Lin Fan nodded, and dealt five cards to each of them in the order of himself, Jiang Mengyao, and Dao Qingwan.

"No peeking at each other, okay? My last card is a 4. Does anyone have a lower last card than mine? If not, I'll play it first."

Jiang Mengyao replied to Qingwan, "No."

"A 4. By the way, what did you mean when you said that a wonder could be placed in the Divine Realm?" (Dao Qingwan)

Jiang Mengyao glanced at the cards in her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "No."

"Hot five!"

Dao Qingwan spoke up smugly.

"It's simple. Aren't there two gods in total? Isn't it normal for them to be able to accommodate a wonder?"

Lin Fan: "No, is that so? I really didn't expect that."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Mengyao.

Jiang Mengyao looked at the cards in her hand again, took out the Undying Mound of Jing from her body, and chose to use it: "I'd better not..."

Dao Qingwan: "Will that nest continue to produce eggs?"

Lin Fan shook his head: "You can only play or draw a card after everyone has drawn one."

"Okay, sure!"

After Dao Qingwan, he, and Jiang Mengyao each drew a card in that order, Dao Qingwan said, "Hmm—a pair of 8s."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the cards in his hand: 78910j.

"don't want."

Jiang Mengyao glanced at the cards and realized that the miracle had indeed been successfully used. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "A pair of 9s."

"don't want."

Draw a card.

Jiang Mengyao: "345678, that's all."

Lin Fan said to Qingwan, "Huh? You can beat me with six cards?"

.....

None of the three were made of flesh and blood, so they didn't need to worry about thirst or food. The fight lasted for three days.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."

Lin Fan dropped the pile of cards in his hand and casually picked off a few white cards from his face.

"This is ridiculous. Every time I have 5, 6, 8, 9, you play 5, or when I have 2, you play pairs like crazy. When I finally get a pair of 2s, you say you have no cards left and can't play."

"Okay, this is quite interesting, Wanwan, what do you think?"

After three days of playing the game, the group became increasingly familiar with each other, especially the two adorable creatures, who were like sisters.

Jiang Mengyao turned her head to look at Dao Qingwan, who was still full of interest, and a bad feeling crept into her heart.

"This is so much fun! I feel like I could play this for another year!"

Dao Qingwan spoke in a childish voice, her eyes still shining brightly.

"Brother Lin Fan, can you really bear to watch me and Sister Mengyao play by ourselves? Aren't you going to play with us for a few more days?"

Dao Qingwan revealed a pleading expression, which complemented the white stripes covering her entire body.

If not pitiful, she was quite frightening.

Lin Fan's eyes twitched a few times. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not that I don't want to play with you, but I really need to break through. How about this, I'll go find a few skeleton mages to play with you? Their intelligence is more than enough to play this kind of game."

Jiang Mengyao removed the few white streaks from her face and said softly, "Yes, Wanwan, you've been playing for three days and you're a little tired. Besides, your brother Lin Fan and I have things to do. Why don't you take your cards and go play with other skeleton mages?"

"Okay."

Dao Qingwan sighed regretfully.

"How could I ever get tired of such a fun game? Looks like I'll have to go play with the Skeleton Mage and the others."

Lin Fan gave a reminder:

"Remember not to look for leader-level skeleton mages; they're also responsible for researching new spells!"

"Okay, okay!"
