“Three of a kind.”
“Full House!”
“Four of a kind.”
“Royal flush!”
A young man was playing poker with a calf on the wooden floor.
Ye Fan made the pack of poker cards on the spot. He used to play poker with his friends when he was a kid.
Huangniu was very interested in the poker game. It would grin whenever it had a higher card suite than Ye Fan. “This is fun.”
The calf's mood greatly improved after a dozen rounds of the game.
Ye Fan started to fish for information at this point. “Mister, where are we?”
Huangniu shook its head. “I don't know. I've been here ever since I can remember. Back then, Wan'er and an uncle were the only humans who had to play with me. Afterthe uncle died, Wan'erfell into a deep sleep. I had no one to play with me anymore since then. I'm so glad you came along. I've got myself a new playmate now,” Huangniu said happily.
“How long have you stayed here?”
“Very long. Ever since I could remember,” Huangniu replied.
Ye Fan twitched his lips.
Da*n it. This is getting me nowhere.
“Then, do you know how to get out of here?”
“I don't.” Huangniu shook its head.
“Do you know what those writings on the walls mean?”
“No.” Huangniu shook its head once again.
“What do you know then?” Ye Fan's face darkened.
Looks like this calfisn 't going to be any help to me.
“I know how to wake Wan'er up. She knows everything, so you can ask her.”
“Wan'er?” Ye Fan turned to the beautiful girl lying on the magical bed. “You mean her?”
“Yes, you're her brother, right? Wan'er has been waiting for her brother to pick her up ever since. She said to wake her up when her brother arrives, and then you came along. So you are her brother, right?”
Huangniu asked Ye Fan earnestly as it checked him out.
“Brother?” Ye Fan shook his head. “I'm not her brother.”
“Okay, I knew it. He's not coming. It's been so long. He must have forgotten. Mr. Long and I are the only ones who remember her. I'm the only one who remembers her now that Mr. Long is dead. But anyway, you're here now.” Huangniu spoke in a pitiful tone.
However, Ye Fan wasn't interested in Wan'er's brother at all. All he wanted was to leave the place as soon as possible.
Junie was still in the hands of the King of India. He couldn't help but worry about her safety.
“Did you say this Wan'er knows everything? Then, she must know the way out, right?” Ye Fan asked.
Huangniu nodded. “Of course. Wan'er knows everything. She knows that the mountains outside are green, the water is blue, and the flowers are red. She was the one who told me about all these things I've painted. She even taught me how to fight. Do you know how to fight? Let's fight. I've never been in a fight ever since Mr. Long passed away.”
Huangniu aimed a kick at Ye Fan as it spoke.
Ye Fan wasn't in the mood for a fight at the moment. He blocked the blow half-heartedly and was about to ask Huangniu how he could wake the girl up.
However...
Bang!
The kick sent Ye Fan flying like a cannonball.
He bared his teeth in pain as he was slammed into a wall.
“F*ck! Such incredible power from a calf!”
Ye Fan was shocked.
Even though Ye Fan had almost depleted his elemental force, he still had the Dragon God Body to back him up. Hence, he was still stronger than most Supremes.
Nonetheless, the calf sent him flying with a kick.
“Did Wan'er teach you that?” Ye Fan frowned and asked.
He suddenly found the girl who was sound asleep to be very mysterious.
“Yes. Do you want to wake her up? We can play poker together if she's awake.”
Huangniu had fallen in love with the game of poker ever since Ye Fan taught him the rules.
