The Last Step

"Revealed."

"Super double."

"Four twos."

"Royal flush!"

"Straight to the end."

"Ha!"

Yi Feng slammed the cards in his hand onto the table, revealing a happy smile. After playing who knows how many rounds tonight, he didn't know he had won so many games from these two little brats!

Seeing yet another win, the embarrassed looks on the two women's faces grew even more ashamed.

If this kept going, not only would the two women not win, but the only treasure they had would likely be lost as well. This was utterly disastrous!

Making matters worse was that the rooster was already crowing outside, meaning it would be dawn soon.

In that moment, the anxious look on the two women's faces grew even stronger. Right then, Yi Feng stretched and got up, saying: "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back to continue."

After speaking, Yi Feng walked out of the room.

After Yi Feng left, Mao Yun'er bit her red lips and softly asked Yao Ling'er: "What should we do?"

Yao Ling'er frowned in deep thought.

Then with a flip of her jade hand, she took out a red porcelain bottle.

Mao Yun’er was startled, then also took out a white jade bottle.

The two looked at each other, not having expected that both had made the same preparations. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.

"So...should we use yours or mine?"

Mao Yun'er finally asked, biting her red lips.

"Let's use both!"

After thinking for a bit, Yao Ling'er said. Although her Celestial Fragrance Powder could make practitioners immune, Yi Feng was no ordinary cultivator. So just to be safe...

She gritted her teeth.

Bringing over the nearby water jug, she poured the contents of both bottles into it.

"I'm back."

Just as she finished pouring the medicine, Yi Feng happened to sit back down. Looking at the cards on the table, he said: "It's almost dawn, I'm so tired. Why don't we call it a night?"

As he spoke, he took Mao Yun'er's copper coins and Yao Ling'er's twin blades.

"I'll just take these as souvenirs, okay?"

Seeing this, the two women's faces changed in a panic, and they stretched out their hands to take them back.

"You have to honor your bets, why are you reluctant?"

Yi Feng jokingly said.

But Yi Feng's joking words sounded like questioning and mocking to the two women. They retracted their hands at the same time, forcing smiles and gritting their teeth to say: "No...of course, since we lost, we will certainly honor the bet."

"That's right, they're just little trinkets, you can win them back next time."

Yi Feng smiled and put the two items away.

He didn't actually care much for these things. But when gambling, if there were winnings, he certainly couldn't break the rules. Otherwise there would be no sense of seriousness when playing cards again in the future.

"You're right."

The two women nodded, but the smiles on their faces looked more agonized than crying.

Their hearts were practically bleeding.

But luckily, they still had a final resort.

As long as they succeeded in the end, they could pout and act cute later to try and get their things back, or perhaps even obtain other nice items.

With this thought in mind, after exchanging a glance, the two women smiled at Yi Feng and said: "Sir, you've been playing cards all night without drinking much water. Have some water first and rest here a bit!"

As they spoke, the two women poured a cup of water for Yi Feng.

"No need to be so polite, you haven't had water either!" Yi Feng laughed and took the water jug, pouring a cup for each woman as well, "You should drink too!"

Seeing this, the two women's hearts thudded violently, and their faces paled.

"It's just drinking water, why are you so nervous?" Yi Feng asked in puzzlement.

"No...nothing."

The two women explained in unison, afraid that Yi Feng would notice something. After exchanging a glance, they came to a decision and raised the water cups.

Perhaps their behavior after drinking would be even more pleasing to this gentleman.

Thinking this, the two no longer felt psychological pressure. They then drank the water together with Yi Feng, and only then did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The plan had already succeeded halfway.

They just needed to stall a little longer. Once the drugs took effect, their great cause would be accomplished.

Unable to help themselves, Yao Ling'er and Mao Yun'er chatted idly with Yi Feng. Unknowingly, they gradually felt the effects of the drug taking hold, their bodies growing increasingly hot.

And Yi Feng also seemed to be...

"Oh, why is it suddenly so hot?" Yi Feng fanned himself with his hand, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Just as expected.

The two women were delighted, with only the last step remaining.

However.

Yi Feng suddenly grabbed his stomach with a frown, saying: "Why does my stomach feel uncomfortable again? Please wait, I need to use the restroom again."

Hearing this, the two women's faces changed in panic, but Yi Feng had already walked out.
