Chapter 69: End of the First Meeting
Four people gathered around the table, holding neatly cut thin pieces of wood in their hands, with patterns and numbers carved on them. A very common way of playing in the beast world is playing poker.

Lezhi liked to play the game of hitting turtles for fun. The faces of the second and third children were covered with dead leaves, and there was no place to put the punishment for the losers.

Only the eldest brother's face was still clean, while Le Zhi's little face also had three pieces of stains.

The emerald eyes looked quietly at the eldest brother's expression, without any flaws.

The second brother had only one card left, and he quickly snatched a piece of wood from the third brother's hand, cheering for being the first to end the torture.

"Oh yeah! As the saying goes, I don't have to stick those damn leaves on my head anymore!"

The third brother sighed, turned around and prepared to take the wooden chip from Le Zhi's hand. He kept testing the two cards with his fingers, and finally took away the joker card.

Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief. He still had one card left in his hand. As long as he could grab a matching card from his eldest brother, he could easily win.

Le Zhi stretched out his soft fingers towards the eldest brother. The man quickly withdrew the cards in his hand, put them behind his back and fiddled with them a few times, not wanting to let Xiao Si draw the cards easily.

Feng Zhi: "We can't let Xiao Si win all the time. I can see that you are such a clever guy. You have fooled your second and third brothers around."

Le Zhi didn't refute it. It was because these two idiots had such rich facial expressions that it was not challenging to play with them.

At present, the third brother has two cards in his hand, I have one card in my hand, and the eldest brother has two cards in his hand. It will become more and more difficult to make a pair as time goes by. Winning depends entirely on luck.

Huazhi Liuyan secretly turned his head towards his elder brother and made a barely noticeable gesture to Xiaosi.

Le Zhi understood what he meant and instantly took a card from his brother's hand. He bared his two rows of white teeth and smiled with satisfaction.

Feng Zhi didn't understand how Xiao Si did it, so he had to play a psychological game with Xue Zhi.

"Third brother, is the joker in your hand?"

Xuezhi tried hard to keep a tight expression, not wanting to reveal any flaws.

The two men played for a while, and the result was touching. The eldest brother was still the winner. A leaf was hung on the left side of the third brother's mouth, making him look like a prank artist with cucumber slices on his face.

The second brother snorted in dissatisfaction, the third brother lowered his eyebrows and was not very happy. The fourth brother shook his head and looked at the eldest brother with a resentful face.

Feng Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Why do you look so depressed?"

Xiao Si plucked the leaves that were in the way with disdain and explained with a curled lip, "This game is interesting only because of the punishments. Brother, aren't you obviously bullying us three brothers because our ranks are lower than yours? You didn't even give us a chance to enjoy ourselves. We don't want to play anymore. It's meaningless."

Feng Zhi has lived a long life, but he has never been exposed to meaningless things. He just learned how to play wooden cards today, and he can even beat the whole family. It's really hilarious.

The second brother also found it boring, so he collected the scattered wood chips on the table and started cleaning. Out of habit, he was afraid that the fourth brother would escape from prison, so he directly hung her on the ceiling with spider silk.

The third brother sorted out the bottles and jars on the ground and put them all in a corner.

There was dim light in the room, and several people were busy. Occasionally, various noises could be heard. The two brothers who were brought up by me were quite virtuous.

I couldn't help but sigh.

It took the eldest brother a long time to realize that something was wrong. He was so numb that he looked up at the girl who was doing the breaststroke in mid-air.

Feng Zhi was surprised and asked, "Why hang Xiao Si up? Cleaning is so troublesome, I really don't understand."

Even the quiet third brother spoke up at this time: "Big brother, you are not often at home, so you don't know Xiao Si's situation. Whenever my second brother and I clean the house and don't notice her, she will sneak out and make trouble in a short while."

Le Zhi threw the few remaining jujubes in his hand at his third brother's head with quite a bit of force.

"Third brother, you are so rude. You mock me in front of my eldest brother!"

The third child stuffed the poor jujube that fell on the ground into his mouth without saying a word and ate it without any disgust. Feng Zhi had a splitting headache. It was not a good thing for the fourth child to always like to run outside, as he would always run the risk of being caught.

Only after the three brothers finished cleaning up could Le Zhi land on his feet.

Feng Zhi had a serious expression on his face. He crossed his arms and looked at the three children he had raised.

He finally made up his mind and made a serious announcement.

The eldest brother confessed to them what he had been dealing with recently. The City of Ten Thousand Beasts and the City of the Beast King began to take joint action, setting their sights on all the cities, and they would not give up until they found a suitable female beast.

The situation is not optimistic now, and the Erosion Beast City is also being closely watched. Even though Feng Zhi is the king of the desert, facing a head-on confrontation with two big cities, Feng Zhi is ready to do something bad.

The second and third children were not very smart and were confused by what they heard.

Le Zhi said excitedly: "Brother, can we leave the desert now?"

Feng Zhi threw out a bird's head, which was filled with many common pebbles. The head wrapped in the pebbles spun wildly on the table.

Finally, three uneven stones were thrown out.

Xuezhi used to be a priest and knew divination. The arrangement before him could be considered a way to win in danger.

The third brother said leisurely: "It doesn't look very safe."

The second child didn’t understand, so he just rested his chin on the table and watched the fun.

Xiao Si was at an age when he had a strong desire for knowledge. He frowned and asked, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Why don't you two explain it clearly, Big Brother and Third Brother?"

Feng Zhi put away the stones and bird heads on the table, speaking in a casual tone.

"Not good, but not bad either. Fortune and wealth come from the midst of danger. Prepare all the valuables at home in the next two days. We will leave in three days."

What Feng Zhi didn't tell them was that according to divination in the past few days, the chances of staying in the Erosion City were only 10%, which was a mortal danger...

The tree house in the City of Beasts is particularly deserted. The high priest’s residence has not been changed for a long time and is as simple as before.

There was no one in the room. The neatly dressed priest was watering the ground with a watering can, his movements smooth and skillful.

The city lord looked more stable and mature, and after thirteen years, he had transformed into a young man.

Ying squatted on the ground, staring at the red mark on his right palm, a long line running from his index finger to his wrist.

Yinghe and the priest beside him complained: "It has been almost fourteen years. Master Ayao is so cruel that he left us alone in the world."

The priest paused for a moment and then returned to normal.

Mu Hui said, "I think the kitten should still be alive. Although the bond of companionship has been broken, the royal city has been sending out orcs more and more frequently to search for female beasts recently. They must have a way that we don't know to determine whether the kitten is still alive."

A smile appeared on Ying's face, and he said with some self-mockery: "Then should we continue to sit here and wait for death? I don't know what the damn Deer King has exchanged with the Deer God. His current strength should not be underestimated. If Lord Yao is found by him first, we will definitely have no chance..."

The golden rings on the priests' chests collided with each other, making clear and pleasant sounds, melodious and lingering.

Mu Hui casually threw a stone to the city lord and told him firmly: "The barbarian land that rises in the east and sets in the west will become a land that meets water. We can see the kitten again. Don't be impatient."

A faint fragrance blew in the wind, and the high priest reached out to touch it out of habit. It seemed as if in the past, there would always be a girl squatting here, working hard, with a sly look in her eyes and a bright smile.

Mu Hui had a sinister look on his face. He would never let the kitten get hurt again this time. He would imprison the kitten in a safe cage, and no one would be able to harm his happiness...
