After all, this was the era of Legend of Yao Lao. Lin Xuan had no idea whether the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had existed in the Magical Beast Forest before Xiao Yan's rebirth.

Since the current timeline was that of Legend of Yao Lao, Lin Xuan could not be certain. He would only find out whether the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was in the Magical Beast Forest after they got there.

After Lin Xuan entered Lin Chou and Zi Yan's room, he saw the three girls sitting around the table with cards in their hands.

As Lin Xuan slowly approached them, he finally saw clearly that the three girls were playing Fight the Landlord.

Lin Xuan knew that Lin Chou must have learned it while reading his memories.

"Have you all learned it?"

After watching the three girls play a round, Lin Xuan smiled and asked them.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Yue Mei nodded without saying much.

As for Zi Yan, she smiled at Lin Xuan. "Of course. Who do you think I am? This kind of thing is ridiculously easy for me."

Lin Chou said nothing. She had already known how to play when she read Lin Xuan's memories.

Hearing Zi Yan's words and seeing the expression on her face that practically screamed for praise, Lin Xuan could not help but smile. He then said to Zi Yan.

"Yes, yes. As a genius, of course you learned such a little game with ease."

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zi Yan's face lit up with a smile. When she looked at Lin Xuan, she realized he seemed more handsome the longer she looked at him.

When Zi Yan's eyes met Lin Xuan's, her little face instantly turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Lin Xuan smiled and said to the three girls.

"How about I join you for a game of Fight the Landlord? Yue Mei lost just now, so I'll take her place."

"Sure, sure. Fight the Landlord is pretty fun. Let's start."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zi Yan raised her head and said with a smile. But when she saw Lin Xuan staring at her, she shyly lowered her head again.

Lin Xuan then sat down on the other side of the table, while Lin Chou sorted the cards. Once she had arranged them, Lin Chou dealt cards to Lin Xuan and Zi Yan.

However, after receiving his cards, Lin Xuan could not help casting a curious glance at Lin Chou. The hand she had dealt him was rather interesting.

There were seventeen cards in total, yet Lin Xuan's hand contained only three pairs, one six-card straight, and six single cards.

When Lin Chou saw Lin Xuan looking at her, she gave him an innocent smile. However, she knew both Lin Xuan's and Zi Yan's hands.

With her current strength, she could remember practically every card she had touched with perfect clarity. She knew exactly which cards she had dealt.

Still, Lin Chou had not told Yue Mei or Zi Yan about this. She would not cheat like that anyway. They were only playing Fight the Landlord to pass the time; cheating would make it boring.

"How about we play for stakes? Whoever loses takes off an article of clothing or something."

Looking at the cards in her hand, then at Lin Xuan and Zi Yan, Lin Chou smiled as she spoke to them.

Hearing Lin Chou's words, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he turned a mischievous grin toward Zi Yan.

With Lin Chou and Lin Xuan both looking at her, Zi Yan became a little embarrassed and softly said to them.

"Wouldn't that be a little inappropriate...?"

Zi Yan herself was rather conservative. She could not bring herself to do something like taking off an article of clothing for every lost round.

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Xuan gave up on the idea. After all, people in this world were more or less conservative in their thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chou said to the other three.

"Then how about we play Truth or Dare? The four of us can draw cards and compare their values. The person with the lowest card can choose Truth or Dare, and the person with the highest card gets to ask the question or assign the dare."

Hearing Lin Chou's words, Lin Xuan looked at her gratefully. Lin Chou was finding another way to get him some benefits. She was simply a god-tier teammate.

I suddenly realized... I'm liking Lin Chou more and more... Hehehe~ She keeps finding ways to get me benefits...

Hearing Lin Chou's suggestion, Yue Mei and Zi Yan exchanged glances. After looking at Lin Xuan and Lin Chou, they agreed, though they still said to Lin Chou.

"That works, but... the dares can't be too excessive..."

"No problem. Give me all the cards."

Hearing Yue Mei and Zi Yan's words, Lin Chou smiled and had Lin Xuan and Zi Yan hand their cards to her.

After taking the cards, Lin Chou began shuffling them. At the same time, she gave Lin Xuan a meaningful look, making him chuckle.

Yue Mei and Zi Yan merely kept their eyes on Lin Chou's hands. They were still somewhat worried that Lin Chou might cheat. After all, during the earlier game of Fight the Landlord, the two of them had kept losing, while Lin Chou had not lost even once.

Lin Chou quickly finished shuffling the cards, then spread them across the table and said to Lin Xuan and the others.

"You're not allowed to use your energy to cheat, or you'll be punished."

Hearing Lin Chou's words, Lin Xuan and the others nodded and prepared to draw their cards.

In the first round, Lin Xuan drew a 10, Lin Chou drew a 7, Zi Yan drew a 9, and Yue Mei drew a 3.

Seeing the card in Yue Mei's hand, Lin Xuan grinned mischievously at her.

"Hehehe, Yue Mei, I didn't expect you to lose in the very first round. So tell me, are you choosing Truth or Dare?"

Lin Chou and Zi Yan both smiled at Yue Mei, wanting to see what she would choose.

"Truth..."

With all three of them looking at her, Yue Mei's face flushed slightly as she answered Lin Xuan in a soft voice.

After speaking, Yue Mei looked at Lin Xuan. Though she was somewhat shy, she was not a sore loser. Besides, she was still Lin Xuan's little maid; perhaps she might even have a chance to become his principal wife in the future.

Hearing Yue Mei's words, Lin Chou and Zi Yan both looked toward Lin Xuan, wanting to know what he would ask.

Seeing the three girls looking at him, Lin Xuan smiled and asked Yue Mei.

"Truth, huh? Then tell me, do you still have your first time?"

"First time? What is that?"

Zi Yan, however, did not understand what Lin Xuan meant and could not help asking him and the others.
