Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 750 - 744, - 745: Horseplay

Chen Mo had already had dinner with Wu Mi, so he only drank a little wine.

The three won had all received etiquette training. No matter how delicious the food was, they only took small bites, chewing slowly and gracefully, with elegance in their every movent.

This dinner lasted about half an hour.

Madam Gan did not call for the maid but instead began to clear the dishes herself, putting them aside.

"Shall we play a ga of ’da ma’?"

At this mont, Madam Xiao took out a ga board from sowhere and said to Chen Mo and the others.

’Da ma’ is a ga of skill and chance in this world, where the pieces are called ’horses.’ According to certain rules, both sides use the horses to set up formations, strategize, attack, defend, and cross obstacles.

When Chen Mo first encountered this ga, he didn’t expect that this world would have ’da ma.’ Playing it felt sowhat like a more complex version of aeroplane chess.

Simultaneously, it was a common form of gambling among the people. In Chen Mo’s previous life, Li Qingzhao was known to gamble by playing ’da ma,’ and she even wrote "Da Ma Tujing. Xu" as an ode to it.

This gambling ga is best suited for two to five people.

Chen Mo and the others made four players, which was just right.

In this ga, cultivation does not provide any advantage.

It relies on luck and intellect.

Xiao Yunxi didn’t originally want to play but was persuaded by Chen Mo, who said it would be a good way to relax.

Madam Xiao said, "Since we decided to play, let’s first agree on the stakes. No money, the loser takes off one piece of clothing. If soone loses everything, the winner can ask the loser to do sothing, and the loser must comply. Agreed?"

"Okay," Madam Gan nodded in agreent.

"No problem for either," Chen Mo said.

"Then it’s settled," Madam Xiao replied.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

She hadn’t agreed yet.

The ’da ma’ dice are made up of three dice.

Each person has twenty horses, which are the pieces used in the ga.

The movent of the horses is determined by the results of the dice rolls.

The determination of victory or defeat is based on scoring rules, with the winner being the one with the highest score.

Since money is not involved, there is only one winner; the rest are losers.

The winner of the first round was Xiao Yunxi.

Chen Mo, Madam Xiao, and Madam Gan each removed one piece of clothing.

Since it was not yet autumn, everyone wasn’t wearing much, and removing a piece revealed a lot more.

This was exactly Madam Xiao’s intention.

The second round winner was Madam Xiao.

The third round winner was Chen Mo.

After the third round, Madam Gan was already completely exposed.

The fourth round winner was again Madam Xiao.

Since Madam Gan was already exposed, Madam Xiao instructed her to kiss Chen Mo.

Madam Gan had anticipated this, and blushing, she gave Chen Mo a peck on the cheek.

Xiao Yunxi averted her eyes.

The fifth round winner was Chen Mo.

This ti, not only was Madam Gan fully exposed, but so were Xiao Yunxi and Madam Xiao.

Chen Mo could choose a task for Madam Gan.

Without any pretense, Chen Mo embraced Madam Gan and whispered, "Ah Qin, I want..."

While being held by Chen Mo, Madam Gan felt a tingling sensation, and her rosy cheeks burned like fire, as she seed to let out a faint sound.

Beside her, Madam Xiao seed to hear this and said, "The loser must comply, rember."

At that mont, Madam Gan felt like a blazing furnace, almost steaming.

She gently left Chen Mo’s embrace, trembling with her delicate pale hands as she leaned closer.

Chen Mo didn’t say more, quietly gazing out the window, though all he could see was darkness beyond.

His brows furrowed and relaxed, and his stern, well-defined face showed a hint of enjoynt.

Next to him, Madam Xiao’s face was flushed, while Xiao Yunxi shyly turned away, silently cursing, "Shaless."

When the sixth round ca, Madam Gan won.

Chen Mo, Madam Xiao, and Xiao Yunxi were all losers this round.

Now, they were all exposed to one another.

All three had to do sothing upon Madam Gan’s instruction.

Madam Gan’s beautiful eyes shone with a fox-like slyness as she stated her demand.

She wanted Madam Xiao and Madam Gan to experience what she had just gone through.

Madam Xiao complied obediently.

But Xiao Yunxi attempted to stall.

Being alone with Chen Mo was not a problem.

But in this situation...

Especially as Madam Gan and Madam Xiao were already...

As the proud daughter of the Xiao Family, she could not lower herself, especially given her disdain for the two ladies.

She looked at Madam Gan with a cold expression, asking her to make a different request.

But Madam Gan wouldn’t relent.

She had not forgotten the humiliation of bowing and apologizing earlier.

Now with the chance for revenge, she wouldn’t miss it.

"Sister Yunxi, don’t throw a tantrum," Madam Gan said with a sarcastic tone.

Xiao Yunxi: "You..."

She glanced at Chen Mo, hoping he would speak up for her.

But as the biggest beneficiary, Chen Mo didn’t want to oppose himself and pretended not to notice.

"I... I owe you one," Xiao Yunxi said with a resentful look toward Chen Mo after a mont of thought.

"No IOUs allowed," Madam Gan pressed on.

"Don’t push too far," Xiao Yunxi growled through gritted teeth.

"If Sister Yunxi can’t play, then perhaps she should just leave," Madam Gan replied.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

"You’ll pay for this," she finally remarked, before taking out a handkerchief, wetted it, tidied up a bit, and then did as instructed.

Monts later, Xiao Yunxi moved her throat a bit, then wiped her mouth harshly, glaring at Madam Gan, saying, "Co on, continue."

Xiao Yunxi was enraged, determined to clash with Madam Gan to the end.

Madam Xiao saw Xiao Yunxi’s current deanor and felt a twinge of fear.

However, Madam Gan was unfazed.

The seventh round went to Chen Mo.

However, he preferred watching the drama between the three won, so he rely tapped each on the back.

The eighth round was again won by Madam Gan.

She had no fear of Xiao Yunxi’s retaliation, giving her even more outrageous tasks.

As a result, Xiao Yunxi’s hate grew deeper.

The ninth round, Madam Gan’s luck remained strong, and she won again.

As expected, Xiao Yunxi suffered once more.

When Madam Gan tasked Xiao Yunxi again, Madam Xiao even nudged her with her elbow, hinting for kindness, but Madam Gan did not heed it.

After this punishnt, Madam Xiao put so distance between herself and Madam Gan.

She was worried that if Xiao Yunxi won next ti, Madam Gan’s misfortune might spill over to her.

In the tenth round, Madam Xiao won.

Afraid of Xiao Yunxi’s revenge, she only punished Xiao Yunxi by making her drink a glass of wine.

Finally, in the eleventh round, Xiao Yunxi won.

Madam Xiao took her seat a bit further away again.

Sure enough.

Xiao Yunxi instructed Madam Gan to leisurely venture to Nanshan, inviting Chen Mo to enjoy the flowers.

Madam Xiao also felt uncomfortable, but due to her previous restraint, Xiao Yunxi rely punished her with a drink as well.

Following this punishnt, Madam Gan also boiled with anger.

...

Ti silently slipped by, the night growing deeper, yet inside, Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan remained tireless, locked in their face-off.

Even Chen Mo found it overwhelming and said to them, "You continue to play, I’m off to sleep."

"Prince, I’ll accompany you," Madam Xiao quickly retreated from the battlefield.

She realized that Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan were engrossed in their ga, and unless she left, she’d get caught in the crossfire.

Though Chen Mo left, Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan showed no signs of stopping.

Xiao Yunxi challenged, "Do you dare go another round?"

"Certainly, I’m not afraid of you," she replied.

...

In the early morning.

Chen Mo awoke leisurely, currently embracing Madam Xiao, whose plump figure felt soft and comfortable to hold.

Madam Xiao slept gracefully, her lush, curvy body nestled in Chen Mo’s arms while holding onto his sleeve.

Chen Mo glanced around but did not see Xiao Yunxi or Madam Gan.
