Chapter 167 Just an upgrade

"Everyone is here, let's open the cards." The woman in palace clothes took a puff of cigarette and said with a charming smile.

A stack of thin wooden signs appeared in the center of the square table, and the woman in palace clothes spread it out with her hands. She then winked at Mi August and said, "Dignified guests please go first."

Mi August was forced to reach out for the cards again.

The wooden sign was very thin, and there was a carefully carved painting on the inside that she didn't recognize.

After her is the bald old man.

It turns out that you don't need to pick the cards in the order they are listed, but you can choose them from the flat wooden cards at will.

Everyone drew two rounds of cards, each holding two, and the force of the mandatory rules temporarily disappeared.

"The distinguished guests place their bets." The woman in palace attire said with a smile again.

Mi August said truthfully: "I don't know how to play."

The woman in palace clothes said: "You won't regret it when you get to the card table."

The bald old man also spoke, "You'll get better after playing a few more games." His voice was sharp and harsh, and every word was like metal scratching glass, causing intense torture to your eardrums, "Place a bet, follow a bet, and the three rounds will determine

Winning or losing is easy."

bite.

The copper bells hanging at the four corners of the card table rang suddenly, followed by a voice in Mi August's ears.

"The bet this time is anything on your body."

The invisible power of rules guided her to grab the wishful bag in her sleeve.

Just when his hands reached the sleeves, Mi August grabbed the corners of the sleeves, took off his outer robe and put it on the table.

"..."

The expressions of the woman in palace clothes and the old man both stiffened for a moment.

Then the old man called and he sneered and took off his robe.

The women in palace attire and the male disciples from the academy followed immediately.

The first round was passed peacefully, and the old man was the first to draw the card in the second round.

I once had an experience where Mi August took the initiative to draw cards before the rules were enforced.

She put the unintelligible cards on the table, took out the book of good and evil and put it aside, and asked the woman in palace clothes: "Why hasn't my spiritual crystal arrived yet?"

The woman in palace attire was speechless when she asked her question, and said with a smile: "We are playing cards, why bother thinking about other things."

"Didn't pay?" Mi August asked.

The word fell and the space was turbulent.

The woman in palace attire put down her long cigarette.

Mi August grabbed the cards on the table and said, "I won't play anymore."

"...Please be patient, dear guest." The long cigarette butt blocked Mi August's move to throw away the card.

There was a knock on the door.

The maid who had bet with Mi August came in.

It expressionlessly placed a wish-fulfilling pouch in front of Mi August's desk.

"Isn't this coming?" The woman in palace clothes smiled with bloodthirsty eyes.

The dead-faced maid left expressionlessly. Before the door closed again, her gloomy gaze was always fixed on Mi August.

bite.

The copper bell rings.

The bald old man suddenly took off his head and placed it on the table.

"Oh, it's boring to play like this in the second round." The woman in palace clothes glared at the bald old man, discarded the cards in her hand, "I won't follow."

The male disciple behind it did not pick off his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Follow!"

When Mi saw this in August, he felt thoughtful.

Three pairs of eyes looked towards her.

Mi August lost her cards just like the ladies in palace clothes.

The woman in palace clothes smiled and seemed not to care about her giving up this time.

At the card table for four people, two people folded, leaving the bald old man and the male disciple to continue.

In the third round of drawing cards, the male disciple made his bet.

He looked around, confused as to what bet to place.

The woman in palace clothes slowly smoked a cigarette and said in a charming voice, "If you gamble with your head, don't you still have hands, feet and bones? The bones are pretty good, let's make a pair of dominoes for fun."

After she finished speaking, the male disciple actually nodded, "Take the bones in my body as an indication."

The bald old man let out a harsh laugh. He peeled off his body and placed the bones on the table, leaving a layer of flesh supported by invisible forces.

Three rounds are over.

Flop.

The next second, the male disciple's head, body, and bones were separated.

"Ahhhhhh-"

A shrill scream came from the mouth of the male disciple.

His originally red-eyed dull eyes regained clarity and were covered with pain and fear.

"Help..." Before he could finish his cry for help, the man completely turned into a puddle of flesh and blood.

The head and bones of the bald old man on the gambling table were all returned to his body. His face was rosy as if he had eaten a big meal, and he looked at Mi August with greedy eyes.

"Don't keep your distinguished guests waiting, let's start the second round." The woman in palace clothes knocked the butt of her cigarette and cleared the card table.

The wooden sign was refolded and placed neatly in the center.

This time it was the bald old man who took the card first.

Still everyone got two cards first.

bite.

"There is no limit to the bet this time."

The bald old man has bright eyes.

It couldn't wait to take off the head again and put it on the table.

The woman in palace clothes hummed softly and folded her cards again.

Mi August followed suit and folded.

The bald old man moved his head back to his neck and shouted dissatisfied, "You guys are so boring!"

Neither the woman in palace clothes nor Mi August paid any attention to it.

Just when the woman in palace clothes was about to shuffle the cards again, Mi August stretched out her hand and said, "I'll do it."

The woman in palace clothes looked at her and said, "Okay."

It leaned back on the chair, smoking a long cigarette slowly and exhaling smoke.

The eyes behind the smoke flashed with greed several times, and the throat rolled rapidly, impatiently waiting for the prey to be caught.

Soon, soon.

It can't wait to taste the taste of this prey!

Mi August arranged the wooden signs and put them on the table.

This time, the woman in palace clothes drew the cards first, and she also placed the bet first.

bite.

"The bet this time is..."

The sound paused, as if it was disturbed by something.

Mi August looked sideways, but saw that the woman in palace clothes and the bald old man did not respond.

"all."

The bald old man and the woman in palace clothes laughed together.

They seem to have been waiting for this moment, and once the opportunity comes, they will completely tear off their disguise. Seeing Mi August's eyes as if they have something in their bag, they predict that she has no way out.
To be continued...
