Chapter 408 Being a man isn't easy!

A few breaths later, Yaoyue also returned to the courtyard.

Seeing the raised eyebrows that Yaoyue couldn't help, the group confirmed their earlier guess.

After glancing at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, Qu Feiyan looked at Yaoyue and asked, "Sister Yue, are you planning to go to the Ming Dynasty's palace or the Song Dynasty next?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Yaoyue said calmly, "Yihua Palace is located in the Great Ming Kingdom and has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years. Naturally, I will stay in the Great Ming Kingdom."

Hearing what Yaoyue said, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, but remained silent.

However, the expression on his face unconsciously turned somewhat gloomy.

Upon hearing Yaoyue's next choice, Qu Feiyan's face immediately fell.

A moment later, as the group returned to the kitchen, Lianxing, Lin Shiyin, and Wanwan all walked up to Qu Feiyan and extended their hands.

Looking at the group of people gathered in front of her, Qu Feiyan sadly took out gold from her purse and placed it in the hands of the three of them.

Then, looking at her purse with only a few copper coins left, Qu Feiyan suddenly felt a heartache so intense it was hard to breathe.

Seeing Qu Feiyan's expression, Lin Shiyin laughed and said, "Who told you to make Sister Yue's odds so high? One to ten, now you've given back all the money you won a few days ago!"

Qu Feiyan said with a resentful look, "How was I supposed to know that Sister Dongfang would lose to Sister Yue! Sister Dongfang usually had the upper hand, so why did she suddenly lose this time?"

As someone who entered this courtyard even earlier than Dongfang Bubai, Qu Feiyan witnessed the struggle between Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue the most and understood it the clearest.

Qu Feiyan also knew that when Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue usually fought, Dongfang Bubai won more often than he lost.

Therefore, Qu Feiyan was full of confidence in Dongfang Bubai this time.

But who would have thought that Dongfang Bubai would lose this time?

At this moment, Qu Feiyan was also filled with melancholy.

However, just as Qu Feiyan was feeling down, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the kitchen doorway.

"Ha! So you're disappointed this time, it's my fault after all."

Upon hearing the voice, Qu Feiyan's expression instantly changed.

With a stiff head, I turned to look at the kitchen doorway.

When Dongfang Bubai's cold yet beautiful face came into view, Qu Feiyan's heart skipped a beat.

"It's over."

Lin Shiyin and Wanwan, who were standing nearby, quickly put their hands, which were holding gold and silver, behind their backs.

After his gaze swept over Qu Feiyan and the others, Dongfang Bubai sneered, "You guys are quite the player, betting me against that stupid woman."

In response to Dongfang Bubai's question, Qu Feiyan chuckled dryly and said, "Isn't this because everyone is curious? We'll just make a bet for fun."

"Oh!"

Dongfang Bubai gave a cold laugh in response to Qu Feiyan's words.

Taking in Dongfang Bubai's expression, Qu Feiyan's face fell, and she said weakly, "Inside the villa or outside the city?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Dongfang Bubai replied, "It depends on your preference."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan stuffed the emptied money pouch into her bosom, then walked out of the kitchen with a look of utter despair.

Not only did he lose money, he also got beaten up.

There is nothing more painful in the world than this.

After shifting his gaze from Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai looked at Wanwan and Lin Shiyin, who were smiling in the kitchen.

"You all join in too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin and Wanwan, who had just been watching the spectacle with amusement, instantly lost their composure.

Suddenly, Qu Feiyan, who was walking towards the kitchen exit, stopped and said, "Lianxing and Qianxun are also involved in the bet."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai immediately glanced sideways at Lianxing and Xue Qianxun.

When Dongfang Bubai stared at them like that, Lianxing and Xue Qianxun's bodies instantly stiffened.

Lianxing, in particular, gritted her teeth and growled at Qu Feiyan when she came to her senses: "You traitor, you actually dragged us into this mess."

In response to Lianxing's words, Qu Feiyan raised her chin and said, "We agreed that good sisters should share happiness and hardship, so why can you stand aside?"

Hearing this, Lianxing's urge to beat someone up intensified.

Faced with Dongfang Bubai's gaze, Lianxing and Xue Qianxun could only dejectedly follow Lin Shiyin and Wanwan out the door.

A few moments later, the once bustling kitchen was now empty except for Xiao Zhao, who had a kind and adorable smile.

When she heard the screams and pleas for mercy coming from the other courtyard, Xiao Zhao's honest and simple demeanor deepened.

Sometimes, people who seem honest and simple may not be the most shrewd, but they are definitely the most intelligent.

At least for now, Xiao Zhao is definitely the one who has been beaten the least in the courtyard.

Even Wanwan, who entered the courtyard last, has now endured more beatings in total than Xiao Zhao.

......

The hour of You (5-7 PM).

Sunset.

As the sunlight began to turn a bit more hazy, Qu Feiyan and the others returned to the inner courtyard.

Even after sitting down, their injuries were completely healed by the Phoenix Blood. At this moment, Qu Feiyan and the others were still grimacing and rubbing certain parts of their bodies from time to time.

Even after the body has recovered from some injuries, the mind still needs time to adjust.

Qu Feiyan, in particular, although she was already sitting on the stone bench, still felt a bit awkward about the whip that Dongfang Bubai had used to whip her with his true essence, making her feel uneasy.
