Chapter 4250: Novice On the Road

The little Crown Princess saluted the three with a solemn expression, "Please go easy on me."

Long Hui and the other two: ...

Go easy on your sister, we haven't even started yet!

What's with that expression, as if she's guaranteed to win?

It's truly frustrating to watch.

Feng Changqing and his brother, who were observing behind the little Crown Princess, couldn't help but twitch their lips in unison.

They just felt that the little Crown Princess's demeanor earlier was incredibly peculiar and comical.

"Wifey, just play normally," Crown Prince Mo said, fanning his little wife, his slender, smooth fingers peeling an orange.

"Cousin, with your wealth, how about we play for higher stakes? Let's multiply the original amount by ten," Long Xiangyun said with a brilliant smile.

Qiao Mu nodded, "Whatever."

"I just love how generous you are, Cousin," Long Xiangyun praised with a smile, but her hands were quick as she played a tile.

Qiao Mu expressionlessly drew a tile, then discarded an unwanted one from the edge.

Crown Prince Mo put an orange slice in her mouth. She chewed it twice, then went around the circle again, drawing a flower tile.

Looking at her expression, you couldn't tell if her hand was good or bad; she maintained a consistent poker face.

Mu Xingchen inspected the front and back of the ship, finding that there were about a hundred or so members of the Long clan on board.

The ship's captain had been plying the route between Forgetfulness Sea and Shenzhou for years, rumored to have been sailing for over a decade, and was highly experienced.

"You immortals, I hear there's a kind of teleportation array that can whisk you far away in an instant, right? But it can't be used at sea," the captain said, a simple smile on his swarthy face.

"There are no specific bearings at sea, unlike on land where it's easy to discern directions."

"If you teleport to the wrong place, you might just get lost at sea forever."

"That's why I've transported many immortals like you before. When they go to Forgetfulness Sea, they always come to us."

Mu Xingchen chatted with the sailors for a long time, and upon returning to the cabin, he saw his younger sister and the Long Hui siblings at the card table.

The moment he stepped through the door, he heard his sister's clear, cool voice, "Nine Treasures Lotus Lamp of bamboo suits. Thank you. 888,000 spirit coins from each household."

"Thud!" Mu Xingchen saw a guard fall off his stool, landing on his rear.

Long Xiangyun's hand, holding her tiles, trembled slightly. She forced a smile and said, "Cousin, your luck is truly phenomenal."

"It's alright, it's alright. Let Cousin win a bit first," Long Xiangyun continued to smile. "Jiang Song, hurry up and get up! Don't act like you've never seen the world before. Anyway, your brother will pay if you lose, so why are you panicking?"

Long Hui suddenly felt like crying.

"Qiaoqiao, have some water." Mo Lian handed a teacup to his wife.

Her Royal Highness Qiao took a sip, then rejoined the others in shuffling and building the tiles, her movements fluid and practiced, not at all like a novice.

Long Xiangyun secretly gritted her teeth, her face twitching. "Cousin, you don't look like a novice on the road? Why did you say you only 'know a little'?"

"I only know a little," Qiao Mu nodded, her face sincere. "Not many people are willing to play with me. I've only played madiao five times in my life; this is the fifth time."

Everyone: ...

"Pfft." Feng Changfei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His elder brother, Feng Changqing, glared at him, and Feng Changfei quickly stifled his laughter.

If Feng Heping were here and saw Feng Changfei daring to mock the Saintess, he would surely hit his head with a water dipper, leaving three big bumps!
