Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 1388

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1385: Your Head Buzzing Yet? (3rd Update)

Magic Treasures Pavilion.

When Xue An walked inside carrying snacks for six people, An Yan, Hu Ying, and Xiao Yu were locked in a fierce battle.

"Pair of threes!" An Yan, with several slips of paper stuck to her face, was staring tensely at the cards in her hand, so focused she didn’t even notice Xue An entering.

Hu Ying had even more slips of paper stuck to her face, and was equally concentrated. When An Yan played her pair of threes, Hu Ying laughed loudly three times.

"Pair of fours!"

Then she looked at Xiao Yu with hopeful eyes. "Xiao Yu, crush her!"

An Yan protested immediately, "What? Now you’re even teaming up?"

Xiao Yu appeared rather tragic—her entire face was nearly covered with slips of paper, and her dozen or so tentacles waved wildly, each holding a single card.

After hearing An Yan’s complaint, Xiao Yu chuckled, "Sister Yan, do you think I need to strategize to beat you? Honestly, I wonder what kind of cards you’ve got that you dare declare landlord!"

With that, she slapped two cards down onto the table.

"Jokers! Boom!"

An Yan’s face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembling. "Pair of fours followed by Jokers?"

"That’s how I roll! Sister Yan, how do you feel? Head spinning yet?" Xiao Yu laughed with exaggerated arrogance.

Hu Ying joined in, her excitement growing, "Yes! That’s the kind of boldness we need! Keep going! Victory is within reach!"

"Sister Yan, forgive me!" Xiao Yu’s tentacles flailed with enthusiasm.

"Airplane!"

"Pass!" An Yan blurted, looking completely lost.

"Straight flush!"

"Pass!" Hu Ying looked so thrilled she almost jumped for joy.

"Sister Yan, don’t blame Xiao Yu for being rude!" Xiao Yu gleefully played two more cards.

"Pair of twos! And one card to announce—last call!"

An Yan stared blankly at the cards on the table, looking utterly bewildered.

"It’s over! Mom lost!" Xiang Xiang exclaimed, efficiently pulling out a slip of paper.

Nian Nian, holding a small bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, shrugged and said, "I just don’t understand why Mom, Sister Hu, and Xiao Yu are so obsessed with this! They’re going so far as to neglect sleep and food—how is it that much fun?"

Xiang Xiang replied faintly, "Nian Nian, your use of idioms is getting better and better!"

"Of course! I’ve already memorized the entire idiom dictionary!" Nian Nian said proudly.

"Is that so?" a gentle male voice interrupted.

The two little girls froze in place, then turned around, spotting Xue An’s smiling face.

"Dad...!" The girls started to cheer.

Xue An chuckled softly and shook his head, gesturing for them to keep quiet before handing them the snacks he was carrying.

Nian Nian, having already caught a whiff of the delicious aroma, couldn’t resist anymore. Dropping her brush and bucket, she grabbed a piece and began wolfing it down.

Xue An walked over to stand behind An Yan and glanced at the cards on the table, then said nonchalantly, "Bomb her!"

"Huh?" An Yan whipped her head around in surprise.

Xue An flashed a bright smile, bent down, and reached from behind An Yan, pulling out four Kings and tossing them onto the table.

"Boom!"

Now it was Xiao Yu’s turn to be dumbfounded.

An Yan, meanwhile, looked slightly worried as she muttered, "But Xiao Yu only has one card left!"

Xue An smiled and reassured her, "No problem, she’s not getting away!"

As he spoke, Xue An casually pulled out another card. "Four!"

An Yan’s heart sank. It was over!

Xiao Yu, sitting with just one remaining card, was forced to play a four. How could she possibly win this way?

"Well, a certain someone has been so consumed by gambling that even the readers can’t take it anymore. They’ve been complaining about why you haven’t shown up lately, so I thought I’d come check on you!" Xue An replied with a laugh.

"Readers? What readers?"

"Oh, nothing! Just pretend they don’t exist!" Xue An said casually.

"Alright!" An Yan replied, then seemed slightly bashful. "Hubby, I admit I’ve been a little too obsessed lately. I promise I won’t do it anymore!"

Xue An reached over and pinched her nose playfully. "Play as much as you want! You’re my woman—what’s a few card games?"

"Ow! That hurts!"

Despite her complaint, a bright smile spread across An Yan’s face, though whether her joy came from playing cards or hearing those possessive, confident words was hard to say.

After a long quiet moment, An Yan asked, slightly out of breath, "Hubby, how are things outside right now?"

"Still in the ghost realm," Xue An replied.

"Oh! Have you found the friend you were looking for?"

Xue An shook his head. "Not yet. But this world is quite fascinating!"

"How so?"

"Have you read ’Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio’? The native Ghost Race here are all characters from that book! Nie Xiaoqian, Ying Ning, Xin Shisan Niang... and so forth!"

An Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment. "Are you saying some Hua Clan predecessors have been here before?"

"That’s a possibility! But I think there’s something strange about this realm’s overseer," Xue An mused.

An Yan nodded thoughtfully, though still half-confused, then suddenly giggled.

"Hubby..."

"Hmm?"

"Teach me how to cheat at cards!"

"...."
