"Third Elder, really didn't expect it — the three of you actually went together to beat up that useless Yu Xiaogang. Why didn't you call me? It's been over ten, maybe twenty days since I last beat that kid, and my hands are itching."
Yu Loumian was quite unhappy inside. The three elders had gone to beat up Yu Xiaogang without inviting him. If they had called him along, he definitely would have beaten Yu Xiaogang severely.
"I, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder just acted on impulse and went to beat him up. Why would we call you? If you want to beat him, go do it yourself. But I'll say this beforehand — all the old wounds on Yu Xiaogang have healed. Any new injuries you give him, you'll be responsible for getting treated."
The Third Elder said that, then turned away, heading towards the mountain gate without another word.
Yu Loumian fell silent, thinking that if he went now to beat Yu Xiaogang and ended up hurting him, his older brother would definitely be furious with him. Although that useless nephew had badly screwed over his older nephew, he was still his brother's second son. Considering his brother's protective nature, he chose to let it go and avoid trouble.
"Consider yourself lucky, kid. I'm not going to deal with you for now, but just wait." Yu Loumian snorted lightly and pushed the thought of beating Yu Xiaogang far out of his mind.
Back at Zhao Ling's residence.
At this moment, Zhao Ling, Ah Yin, Bo Saixi, and Liu Erlong were once again playing mahjong.
"Two Bamboo..." Ah Yin placed her tile on the table, and just as she did, Bo Saixi called out, "Pong... One Bamboo."
Liu Erlong reached to draw a tile and frowned after looking at her hand. She was about to discard a tile when Bo Saixi suddenly said, "I…"
Originally, she wanted to say "I've won," but seeing Liu Erlong hesitate, she quickly changed her words.
"I'm a bit sleepy. Mahjong is quite tiring. Let's finish this round quickly — I want to take a nap afterward."
Liu Erlong nodded and placed her tile down. Just as the tile touched the table, Bo Saixi pushed her tiles forward.
"I won again…"
Liu Erlong's face immediately clouded with frustration. "Sister Saixi, how come you keep winning? You've won seventeen rounds straight today! You weren't this good a few days ago. Are you cheating?"
Ah Yin also glanced suspiciously at Bo Saixi. "Yeah, Sister Saixi, you've won so many rounds today. It doesn't feel right. I don't believe your hands are that good every single round."
Bo Saixi, hearing this, smiled awkwardly. "Cheating? How could that be? I'm not, I'm not — don't accuse me wrongly."
Zhao Ling looked at Bo Saixi too, noticing her evasive gaze. He suspected something and asked cautiously,
"Sister Saixi, you wouldn't secretly use your spirit power to check all the tiles on the table, would you? Given our Douluo title level strength, using spirit power to scan the tiles can indeed reveal the entire mahjong table clearly.
"But that's not proper. We play mahjong for fun. If you use spirit power to check the tiles, that's definitely cheating."
"Oh..." Ah Yin and Liu Erlong suddenly understood, both giving Bo Saixi skeptical looks.
For a moment, the three suspicious eyes fixed on Bo Saixi, making her a bit embarrassed and annoyed.
"Alright, alright, I admit it. I used my spirit power to check all the concealed tiles today, including yours. But hey, Zhao Ling and Ah Yin took advantage of being more familiar with the mahjong rules the past few days to bully me and Liu Erlong."
"That's not true! I didn't bully you because I know the rules better!" Ah Yin protested loudly.
"When Sister Dong and I were in Spirit Hall City, we only learned how to play poker, chess, and weiqi from my husband.
"This mahjong, my husband said you need four players to play. I've never played it before. How can you say we bullied you by knowing the rules better?"
Liu Erlong nodded repeatedly, complaining in a dissatisfied tone.
"Exactly, Sister Saixi, even if Brother Ling used his knowledge of mahjong rules to bully us, you shouldn't use your spirit power advantage to cheat against me and Sister Ah Yin. That's unfair."
"Yes, that's unfair! Sister Saixi, if you cheat, you must face severe punishment."
Ah Yin also showed an angry look, frowning as she thought about how to punish Bo Saixi for cheating.
"What kind of punishment would be fun?" Ah Yin thought for a moment, then looked at Bo Saixi and Zhao Ling with a mischievous smile.
"How about this — for every time you cheat, you have to kiss your husband once. You cheated seventeen rounds, so you have to kiss your husband seventeen times, each kiss lasting no less than one minute. How's that? Fair, right?
"If you're unwilling, then let your husband kiss you instead. Seventeen kisses in total, hehe. That'll teach you not to cheat again…"
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up hearing the punishment. Smiling, she looked at Zhao Ling and Bo Saixi, cheering.
"Ah Yin's idea is great! Brother Ling, it's decided — you're up! Sister Saixi actually dares to cheat openly. We can't let her get away with it. If she refuses to kiss, then none of us will play with her anymore."
Zhao Ling felt a headache coming from Ah Yin and Liu Erlong's excitement.
Kissing Bo Saixi? He wanted to — after all, she was an original character whose beauty and temperament could rival Bibi Dong.
But she already liked someone else and had come all the way to the land searching for Tang Chen.
If he ran up to kiss her now, she might explode with anger, and the fight that followed would be beyond his ability to stop. So he kept making eye signals at Ah Yin and Liu Erlong to stop hyping things up.
Just then, Bo Saixi actually stood up from her seat. Zhao Ling thought she was about to get angry and throw a fit.
But unexpectedly, she grabbed him and without hesitation kissed him on the lips.
Zhao Ling's head buzzed. Damn... Bo Saixi really followed Ah Yin's punishment. This was crazy.
One minute passed, they parted lips. Zhao Ling was just starting to catch his breath when Bo Saixi kissed him again.
Damn... Zhao Ling felt completely numb. Though being kissed by a beauty was enjoyable, could he get a proper breath? He definitely didn't want to be suffocated to death…
