Chapter 1077 Boiling tea and playing cards around the stove

Although Canglu said that Jianjia liked interesting things, Jiang Xuxu felt that it was Canglu, the dragon, who attracted Jianjia more than interesting things.

She could give Canglu an idea on how to coax her back, but based on her two observations of Canglu, she didn't think he was the type to actively coax people.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xuxu decided to use another more roundabout idea.

After telling Chu Beihe what he wanted, Chu Beihe asked the palace servants to prepare the things in half a day.

When Canglu was "invited" over, what she saw was a low platform specially placed under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

There was a stove next to the low table, in which sweet milk tea was cooking, and sweet potatoes and oranges were placed next to it. Compared with the snow scene in the courtyard, this corner seemed unusually warm and cozy.

Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe both changed into casual clothes and sat cross-legged on both sides of the square table, fiddling with cardboard cards of various colors on the table.

Looking at the phoenix eggs that they had placed to wait for hatching, they were now placed on a soft mat next to the stove.

Cang Lu walked over, looked down, and asked the two,

"What is this?"

"Poker." Jiang Xuxu paused and added, "It's fun."

Although in fact, she and Chu Beihe had never played much.

But you haven't seen a pig run, and you haven't eaten pork.

They all know the basic poker gameplay and rules, and now they will know how to play it.

Canglu didn't pay much attention to the things in the human world, but after Chu Beihe's simple explanation, he quickly got the hang of it.

Chu Beihe initially thought that Canglu might not cooperate with this kind of time-wasting game because of the feeling he gave, but surprisingly, Canglu not only did not raise any objections, but was even very cooperative. He

was serious when listening to the rules and playing cards, and even when he lost and was given a note, he put it on properly.

The three of them played around the table with the stove on and just played two rounds, and they felt that the barrier around the courtyard that blocked sound and vision was distorted for a moment.

The next second, Jianjia's figure suddenly appeared behind Canglu, staring at the cards in his hand, and asked him,

"What are you playing?"

Canglu felt the familiar breath in his ears, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't turn his head, just said,

"It's a thing from another world, it's called poker."

Jianjia didn't feel how abrupt her appearance was. Hearing that it was a thing from another world, and looking at the sweet and fragrant milk tea warming in the stove, she immediately pushed Canglu aside, next to him, and pulled his arm holding the cards in front of her,

"Tell me how to play."

She glanced at the stove next to her and motioned to Chu Beihe, "Pour me a cup of milk tea."

It's called milk tea, she remembered that Jiang Xuxu called it that.

After a pause, he added, "Add more condiments."

Chu Beihe: ...

As a dragon vein, he is rarely told to do anything.

If this person is not Xuxu's previous life, or if it is someone else, he will ignore it.

He put down the sign in his hand with a good temper, turned around and made a cup of milk tea, but did not give it to Jianjia first, but gave the first cup to Jiang Xuxu,

"Five points of sugar, not as sweet as last time."

Jiang Xuxu rarely felt so relaxed and leisurely. He immediately took it with a smile and drank it in front of Jianjia. It was not that sweet.

Jianjia stared at the actions of the two people, a little unbelievable.

Her request was put second. Doesn't this alien soul know whose territory this is?

But inexplicably, she did not feel the slightest bit of displeasure towards Jiang Xuxu, the alien soul who "stealed" her first cup of milk tea. She even felt that it was natural for Chu Beihe to give Jiang Xuxu milk tea first.

Seeing that Jiang Xuxu had already started drinking, she quickly said to Chu Beihe,

"I want the sweeter one like last time."

After saying that, she saw Cang Lu looking at her, and suddenly felt that she had seen more of the world than him, and said,

"Have you tried this milk tea? I tried it last time, and it tasted good."

Cang Lu naturally hadn't tried it, but knowing that she occasionally liked to try the food of the world, she followed suit,

"Then I'll try it later."

Chu Beihe: ...

Because of the special status of Cang Lu and Jian Jia, Chu Beihe and Jiang Xuxu naturally wouldn't keep anyone in the courtyard, which meant that they could only do it themselves.

But this was only the first cup, and Chu Beihe wouldn't serve you another cup later.

Fortunately, no one present was greedy, even Jianjia wanted to try something new.

Holding a special milk tea cup and sipping the milk tea, Jianjia's attention returned to the cardboard in Canglu's hand.

After watching it for a while and being led to play for a while, Jianjia said that she had learned it, and sat down in another empty seat beside Canglu. The four of them played cards around the table.

The afternoon sun and warmth fell on this courtyard.

In the solemn palace, only this corner had some quarrels and laughter.

It was a rare leisure time. The four of them sat around the table. Each of them had a few pieces of paper stuck on their faces, but it did not prevent them from concentrating on looking at the cards in their hands. Their expressions were all serious and solemn.

Sanshu, who had been lying on the phoenix egg and nurturing each other's souls, had turned into a small fire phoenix at some point. He was lying on Canglu's shoulder at this moment, looking at his cards, and then looking at Jiang Xuxu across from him.

Suddenly, the small fire phoenix raised its tail feathers, and the flames at its tail inadvertently changed into the shape of a character.

Jiang Xuxu had just seen it clearly when Jianjia threw a fireball at it.

"Cheating in front of me, you're asking for a fight!"

Sanshu dodged, and although his tail was rubbed by the fireball, it was not damaged. It just circled over the heads of several people and landed on Jiang Xuxu's shoulder again, rubbing against it.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu just reached out and tapped his head, saying,

"No need to tell me the cards, I can win."

Jianjia followed her movements and looked at the bronze bell hanging on her wrist, but she looked away and chuckled.

"Who can you beat? You're just a soul from another world, don't be so arrogant."

Jiang Xuxu had figured out this person's personality, and after playing together for a while, he was not afraid of her at all. Hearing this, he just said lightly,

"You borrowed Canglu's luck to help you get good cards, but you only barely beat me two games. According to this probability, I would definitely win in the end even without Sanshu's help."

Being pointed out by her directly, Jianjia's ten tails exploded behind her,

"I'm a dignified ten-tailed celestial fox, do I still need to borrow luck to beat you?!"

The ten tails spread out, and the momentum was visibly strong, but it was obviously too strong. The ten tails accidentally knocked over the milk tea that had been heating on the stove.

When the four people reacted, they saw the boiling milk tea in the pot burst and poured onto the phoenix egg roasting next to the stove.

For a moment, the four people present, including Jianjia, the instigator, were silent.

Canglu reacted and was about to perform a cleaning spell on the phoenix egg, but unexpectedly, in just a moment, the milk tea on the phoenix egg was completely absorbed by the eggshell.

The next second, there was a crackling sound from the eggshell.
