Yang Zhen was having a really good time. He had been preparing this deck of cards for a long time, and it was made from the most precious materials in the Great Wilderness World. If others saw it, they would definitely curse Yang Zhen for wasting such a precious resource.
But Yang Zhen didn't care; "Money can't buy my willingness."
Although the playing cards were made, there was no one who knew how to play them, and Yang Zhen was too lazy to explain the rules, so they remained unused in his storage ring.
Now that it's inside, although we don't know what that thing is, it can read Yang Zhen's memories, which saves Yang Zhen from wasting his breath.
The two figures Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue, who had materialized, were not only skilled at playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but Yang Zhen had to use all his strength to defeat them.
Even so, all three of them eventually had wins and losses, and in the end Yang Zhen simply couldn't beat the other two.
Yang Zhen stared in disbelief as he threw down the playing cards and said, "If I don't get serious with you guys, you'll think this is all the skill I, the Sage of Saunter, have for me! Let's play again!"
A strange look appeared on Hua Youyue's face as she said to Yang Zhen, "Are you sure you just want to play cards with us here and not do anything else?"
Seeing Hua Youyue's pitiful expression, Yang Zhen almost lost his bestial nature.
Han Yan'er then took the initiative to come to Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Yes, with such an opportunity, you're playing cards with us. Don't you think you're less than a beast?"
Dig up the grass!
Yang Zhen was stunned by these words.
These two guys actually know the "worse than an animal" meme?
Seeing their increasingly dazed expressions, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, pulled them into his arms, and said, "Come on, keep going! You two aren't exactly ready to beat this Sage of Saunter in your current state!"
As they talked, the three of them started playing cards again.
Outside the Emperor's Garden, Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue both had flushed faces, especially Han Yan'er, who had even drawn her Sun Shadow Sword and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll go and kill this bastard!"
Hua Youyue hurriedly grabbed Han Yan'er and asked with a strange expression, "Is it because he imagined us, or because he... was actually playing cards?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yan'er's face turned as red as the evening glow, and she stamped her foot, saying, "Sister, how... how could you say such a thing!"
Hua Youyue smiled and said, "The fact that he can conjure up you and me proves that we hold a significant place in his heart, so why would he be angry?"
Empress Fengyu looked at the two of them with a strange expression, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
Suddenly, a hysterical roar came from within the Emperor's Garden, startling everyone.
Yang Zhen was also startled. Staring at Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue, whose faces were contorted with rage, he narrowed his eyes and said, "If you ruin the image of the little girl and the Little Dao Addict, believe me, you'll regret ever being born!"
Upon hearing this, everyone outside the Emperor's Garden was taken aback, especially Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue, who were both shaken.
Even in the illusion, Yang Zhen didn't want anything to ruin their image.
At this moment, the Shameless Cat suddenly sighed and said, "I understand now. This kid clearly has other ways to break the Great Wilderness Heavenly Restriction, but he chose to use such extreme and violent methods just to show us that he's angry."
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable gave a wry smile and said, "Indeed, we underestimated Kid Yang's talent. He was able to remain unharmed in the face of the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul."
Empress of Emperor Su Palace shook her head and said, "We may not be safe. The terrifying thing about the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul is that it subtly alters a person's mind. Yang Zhen's anger just now may not have been directed at you or me; he may have been influenced by it."
roar!
A deafening roar resounded, and a sinister aura suddenly erupted from within the Emperor's Garden, soaring into the sky and enveloping the entire Emperor's Garden in the blink of an eye.
Yang Zhen walked out of the Emperor's Garden step by step, a strange expression on his face. He glanced at Empress Fengyu and the others, and after confirming that they couldn't hear him, he said, "Come on, let this Sage of Saunter see what you really are."
The Heavenly Yin Evil Soul is colorless and formless, lacks its own intelligence, and cannot even be considered a living being.
Hua Youyue and the others clearly did not see the aura emanating from him or the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul, so Yang Zhen could confirm that he was still in the illusion.
Are all these people around us also part of the illusion?
It's quite realistic!
Yang Zhen chuckled and said to the air, "Want to continue playing Dou Dizhu?"
Roar!
A surge of violent emotion came over, which amused Yang Zhen.
He's furious! He's really furious.
"Damn Sage of Saunter, I might be the first person in history to drive the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul mad. Sage of Saunter, I have a question in my mind. If you can answer Sage of Saunter, Sage of Saunter might spare your life."
The Heavenly Yin Evil Soul wavered, as if it wanted Yang Zhen to speak out.
Yang Zhen glanced at the people from the Three Flowers Holy Land and saw the worried expressions on their faces, yet they were still staring at the Emperor's Garden, as if they really hadn't seen him come out. Only then did he feel relieved and said, "Why... why was this Sage of Saunter's first illusion Empress Fengyu?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Fengyu trembled, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable looked completely bewildered and touched the top of his head.
He didn't know why he touched his head; he just wanted to, really wanted to.
Above the Emperor's Garden, a terrifying aura surged, as if it hadn't understood Yang Zhen's words.
Yang Zhen curled her lip and said, "Since you won't even say a word, then... let's end it here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhen casually waved his hand, and longswords composed of golden light shot into the air.
Meow!
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the surging air.
It sounds like a cat meowing!
Yang Zhen was startled, and was completely dumbfounded as he watched the overwhelming aura condense into a small cat the size of a palm.
"Gray... Gray Fur?"
Yang Zhen utterly shocked to see the kitten in front of him that was so familiar.
The Shameless Cat let out a strange cry, looking at the Gray Fur in mid-air with a completely bewildered expression.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? How come another Qilin has appeared?" The Shameless Cat, completely bewildered, grabbed the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and asked, "Another Qilin has appeared, did you see it? No, it's Qilin, then what am I?"
"You're a cat!" the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable said irritably, staring at Yang Zhen and asking, "Why did you immediately think of Feng Yu? Could it be...?"
Seeing the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's bewildered expression, the Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "What's so strange about that? The Heavenly Yin Evil Soul can penetrate the heart directly, but it cannot think and has no consciousness. After Yang Zhen went in, the Heavenly Yin Evil Soul immediately conjured up the things it was most familiar with to bewitch Yang Zhen. This is the most direct and most likely to succeed."
"Then... then it didn't succeed?" Nine Dragons asked blankly.
"Of course it didn't work, otherwise Kid Yang would have been a walking corpse by now." The Shameless Cat glared and said blankly, "Damn it, next up is Kid Yang's biggest gain. I wonder what he'll get, and... what the hell is this Gray Fur thing?"
Gray Fur was Yang Zhen's only friend on the blue planet, someone he relied on for survival, but who also died a violent death!
Upon seeing Gray Fur again, Yang Zhen was completely shaken!
