"Brother Yuze, after all you've said, are you actually just looking for an excuse to get rid of me?"

"How could that be?"

Amused, Chen Yuze pinched Yuanbao's cheek, then took her hand and led her back into the courtyard.

“Since I decided to take you in, I was prepared to take care of you for the rest of your life. So, unless you, Yuanbao, want to leave, I will never let you go. Even if your two older brothers come, they will have to respect your wishes.”

"Brother Yuze!"

Unexpectedly, Yuanbao realized how much she meant to Brother Yuze. She couldn't help but hug Chen Yuze from behind, crying out, "Waaah! Only Brother Yuze is truly my brother! What are Wang Fugui and Luo Baiwan? They don't even deserve to be compared to Brother Yuze!"

"Um, I haven't asked Wang Fugui and Luo Baiwan yet?"

"My eldest and second eldest brothers are just two sixth brothers who are always thinking about pushing their younger sister into a fire pit."

"..."

Chen Yuze twitched his eyelids. Although he was actually quite happy to hear Yuanbao's words, he was also quite pleased.

But girl, you can't say these filial words in front of your own brother! Otherwise, your older brothers might really get a taste of human flesh.

……

At the same time, on Lion Camel Ridge.

"What?! You're saying Xiao Yuanbao ran away from home?!"

Looking at the maids kneeling before him, trembling with fear, Luo Baiwan was so angry that he used his elephant trunk to hit each of them with a large, hard slit.

He truly hadn't expected that these useless maids could be so good at keeping secrets.

My little sister has been gone for more than half a month, and they can still laugh and joke in her bedroom as if nothing happened.

If Luo Baiwan and his elder brother hadn't come today to finalize the matter of sending their younger sister to study medicine under a master, these maids probably would have kept this a secret forever!

"Second King, spare my life!"

Clinging desperately to Luo Baiwan's leg, one of the maids cried out pitifully, "The Third King forbade us to tell! He said that if we told you and the First King about her running away from home, she would marry us off to Chengxu Yuan as concubines when she returned! We sisters really have no feelings for the bald man, Second King!"

"This……"

With the elephant's trunk dangling in the air and swinging back and forth, Luo Baiwan truly felt sorry for these maids.

He knew his younger sister's temper well.

If these maids really offended her because of this, they would probably never be able to have a relationship with a man with hair on his head for the rest of their lives.

Left with no other choice, he could only cast a pleading look at the older brother sitting on the tiger-skin chair next to him.

"Brother, what should we do about this?"

As it turned out, asking the question only made things worse. Wang Fugui immediately started flaring his large nostrils, biting his lower lip, and covering his face as he sobbed.

"Waaaaah, Million! Little Yuanbao has run away from home!!! She's never done anything like this before, Million!!! Waaaaah, do you think Little Yuanbao thinks we're too much of a nuisance? Waaaaah!!!"

"Brother, the maids are still watching. You should be a little more mindful of your image."

After patting Wang Fugui on the back, Luo Baiwan then used his trunk to gently wipe the snot and tears from his elder brother's face.

The maids who were trembling and crawling on the ground were also driven out of the palace.

As soon as the outsider left, Wang Fugui cried even more bitterly.

He even unleashed his Lion's Roar technique while crying. Luckily, it didn't deafen Luo Baiwan's elephant ears.

After crying until his tears had dried up, Wang Fugui asked in his hoarse voice, "Million, do you think Xiao Yuanbao might have been kidnapped by some random man?"

"No, brother, it's really not that bad!"

Seeing Wang Fugui's increasingly extreme views, Luo Baiwan quickly said, "Look at those photos we found for Xiao Yuanbao before..."

"Which of my potential partners isn't an exceptional person? Even they wouldn't give a second glance to Little Yuanbao, so how could she possibly be snatched away by some random guy?"

"You're right!"

Listening to Luo Baiwan's analysis, Wang Fugui felt much better: "So what should we do next?"

"The best course of action now is to send someone out to find out about Xiao Yuanbao. Besides, maybe he'll come back on his own once he calms down."

"Alright, then so be it."

……

Two days later, at the foot of Changqing Mountain.

Two elegant and slender women from out of town were holding maps and looking around.

However, their transformation was not complete. Not only did they all have a pair of snow-white ears on their heads, but they also all had two fluffy tails on their backs.

And this is precisely the iconic symbol of the Qingqiu clan—the Qingqiu White Fox.

These two fox demons, the one with the larger breasts is named Yuanyuan, and the one with the longer legs is named Huanhuan. They came to Changqing Mountain on the orders of the candidate saintess to invite her sister and brother-in-law to visit Qingqiu.

However, their flying artifacts malfunctioned on the way here.

Left with no other choice, I had to switch to walking halfway through the journey.

Fortunately, we arrived at Changqingshan within the allotted time.

Next, as long as they find the sister and brother-in-law of the candidate saintess, the two of them can return to Qingqiu to receive their reward.

Despite the fact that the newly arrived candidate saintess is not a native of Qingqiu, some elders have strong opinions about the Queen taking her as her goddaughter and promoting her to the position of candidate saintess.

But what does this have to do with those two little fox demons?

All they knew was that the newly arrived candidate saintess was generous and treated them, the little demons, very well, and was someone they could follow.

At least in their eyes, Lady Bao Si was far superior to the other two candidates for sainthood who were arrogant and pretentious towards everyone they met, as if others had eaten their rice!

070. Today I'll teach you how to play Dou Dizhu!

Since Chi Lian fell into a deep sleep after consuming the Demon Spirit Pill, the Four Heavenly Kings guarding the mahjong table in the courtyard were temporarily missing one member.

But that's alright!

After all, it's common knowledge that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings.

For example, at this moment, Chen Yuze is taking over the responsibility of guarding a corner of the mahjong table, replacing the sleeping Chi Lian!

"Like" (or "bar")

"Self-draw, winning on the kong!"

Perhaps because he had suffered too many setbacks in the system's lottery draws recently, Chen Yuze's hand was incredibly lucky when drawing cards.

Before he'd even warmed the chair, he'd already won four hands in a row.

Thankfully, the girls didn't play too big a game, otherwise, they might have even exported their stockings.

"Chen Yuze, you didn't cheat, did you?"

Staring suspiciously at Chen Yuze's hands, Ruyi, who had never suffered such a defeat before, felt that something was amiss with this card game.

"It's not that bad, it really isn't."

After glancing at the spirit stones on his table, Chen Yuze quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence.

However, his actions did not dispel Ruyi's doubts.

In the new round of mahjong, she not only didn't let Chen Yuze participate in shuffling the tiles, but even the process of arranging and drawing tiles was done by Daji and Yuanbao.

As soon as Chen Yuze finished arranging the cards, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Amazing, Wuhu~"

As Chen Yuze pushed his cards aside, Daji, Ruyi, and Yuanbao fell into an indescribable silence.

This was the first time since they learned to play mahjong that they felt "bored" about it.

There's nothing we can do; Chen Yuze is just too good at winning.

As a result, the girls' gaming experience can only be described as 'terrible'.

This mahjong game is better left unplayed!

"I'm not playing anymore!"

Because she wasn't very good at remembering cards, Daji usually lost more than she won.

Now that Chen Yuze has messed with him like this, he simply pushed the cards away and lay down on the mahjong table, starting to cheat.

"That's right, that's right, the Red Serpent is definitely better."

With a pout of dissatisfaction, Yuanbao was clearly fed up with the game where only Chen Yuze won.

Ruyi, on the other hand, had already pointed to the gourd trellis in the yard:

"Why don't you call Jin Gang over, Chen Yuze?"

Although King Kong doesn't usually interact much with the others, and he had previously had a significant conflict with Ruyi, Chilian, and Yuanbao.

But none of the girls looked at her with hostility anymore.

After all, everyone now knows that King Kong's previous actions were all instigated by her 'master'.

In Chen Yuze's words, Jin Gang was an ignorant girl who had been brainwashed and hypnotized by bad guys and had her common sense altered; she was definitely one of the victims.

The reason Ruyi wanted to call Jin Gang over was not only because she really didn't want to play with Chen Yuze anymore, but also because she wanted to take this opportunity to bring Jin Gang closer to everyone else.

"Alright, I know you want to take this opportunity to help King Kong get to know everyone better. But she's currently busy on a journey of self-discovery and reshaping her values, so let's not disturb her for now."

Chen politely declined Ruyi's offer on behalf of Jin Gang, but wanted the girls to have fun.

Yu Zexuan then pulled out a deck of cards from the system space.

Of course, these are not ordinary playing cards, but rather the R-level item that Chen Yuze drew along with the Demon Spirit Pill during a lottery a few days ago—the Heavenly Secret Card.

According to the system's introduction, playing with this deck of cards for a long time can improve one's luck to a certain extent.

Of course, this is only an R-level item, and its ability to improve one's luck is relatively limited.

For example, it might increase your chances of finding money when you're out, or reduce your chances of encountering a stranger with flat chest on the street.

The idea that you can encounter extraordinary events or find rare treasures or ancient artifacts just by going out is pure daydreaming.

If you really get to pick up everything, how are people like Daji and Yuanbao, who are born with great luck, supposed to compete?

As for Chen Yuze...
