Night, Mystical Street, Hundred Opera Square.
"Young Master, should we go big this time?"
Before entering, Xiaobao was already raring to go. From what he remembered, it had been a 'long time' since he 'did something' with his Young Master.
In the past, they had swindled and swindled people together, and pretended to be cultivators together. But now, they had become genuine cultivators, figures who could stir up a storm, and high and mighty nobles. The days of hiding, swindling, eating, drinking, and gambling seemed to have left them.
In the past, he was extremely resistant to these things in the depths of his heart because it always made him feel anxious and afraid. But now, he really missed those times. Those were the purest times he and his Young Master had, and they were carefree. Even though they lived in a remote corner where no one cared about them, it was still like the saying, "Crossing the wild without a single person on the boat".
Until now, Xiaobao did not even get to see his Young Master once a day. The days he spent with Li Chengfeng grew shorter and shorter. Although their statuses had risen greatly, their lives were filled with danger.
He missed the carefree days when no one cared about them.
The scene before him reminded him of it all.
But Han Tianxing was still a little worried. His eyes widened as he looked around. The Hundred Opera Square was filled with riches the moment they entered.
There was an opera troupe performing in the huge front yard but most of the people here were gamblers. Not many people were in the mood to watch the show. Entering the front yard, they were greeted by four pretty maids with lithe figures. Three of them enthusiastically leaned against Li Chengfeng, Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, while another one eagerly led the way. The two guards at the side pushed the door open for them respectfully.
Once the door opened, a wave of heat washed over them, dispersing all the cold around them. Han Tianxing looked around and saw that all around him was gold and jade, and all he could see were women. In front of them, several wealthy merchants were hugging servant girls in their arms. Their hands and feet were dirty and they were laughing. A few servants stood by the door and the servant girls next to them were obediently taking off their cloaks or coats. The servants at the side carefully bent down to take it and then left silently.
However, Li Chengfeng and the other two were cultivators, so they were not affected by the cold and heat. Hence, they only wore ordinary robes and did not wear expensive scarves or fur hats. Hence, the servants did not approach them. Even the servant girls who were accompanying them were careful not to tease them.
The reason was simple. Li Chengfeng and the other two had been through many cruel battles. All three of them had an extremely sharp aura. Even if they did not speak, they still exuded an imposing aura. The maids did not dare to act rashly.
Han Tianxing glanced around and saw that the front yard of the Hundred Theatre Square was huge. There were more than a hundred tables, and there were all kinds of gambles. There were familiar Pai Gow, Dice, Mahjong, and even cockfighting, dog fighting, and cricket fighting. There were even some that Han Tianxing had never heard of, such as cattail, wheel, or golden flower.
This huge casino was filled with shouts and roars. Some gamblers were shouting themselves hoarse, their eyes bulging out as they stared at the dice cups on the gambling table. Some were red to the ears, tightly clutching the Pai Gow in their arms. Their eyes were bulging to the point that they were about to fall out, and their breathing seemed to have stopped. When they saw the cards they wanted, they would laugh wildly. If they got bad cards, they would beat their chests and stomp their feet, cursing loudly.
Some people won handsomely, while others cried bitterly when they lost and were dragged and thrown out of the door.
Happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, life's myriad emotions were all present.
The bustling casino dazzled Han Tianxing. On the other hand, 'regulars' like Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao were very calm, standing motionlessly at the steps at the entrance as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, a waiter from the Hundred Opera Theatre very enthusiastically welcomed them. Before he even came close, pleasant-sounding pleasantries were bombarded over like a cannon, "Oh my, where did these three esteemed guests come from?
Please come in, please come in, I can tell these three esteemed guests are not ordinary people!
Our Hundred Opera Square is honored to have you here today. It is my honor to be able to serve the three of you. Sirs, you … "
Li Chengfeng reached out and stopped the blabbering Sun Xiao 'er. He threw a small ingot of silver at him with a half-smile. "Alright, cut the crap. Bring me to the gambling table!"
A waiter like him was a combination of a waiter and a helper in a casino. Not only did they have to work as a waiter, they were also in charge of guiding customers and helping them spend money.
Sun Xiaobao took the silver in a practiced manner and grinned. "Oh my, looks like I'm a regular!
But today is the first day the Hundred Opera Square has opened, you're really here. Come with me, this is the place for a master like you to play! "
Sun Xiaobao brought the swaggering Li Chengfeng, the bluffing Xiaobao and the cautious Han Tian into the backyard.
The backyard was not as busy and noisy as the front yard. It was very quiet and filled with a refreshing fragrance. Sun Xiao 'Er brought the three of them to an independent building and said with a grin, "Please come in, masters."
There was a plaque on the second floor of the loft that read: White Flower House.
Li Chengfeng snickered to himself. White Flower House?
White Flower House!
Pretending to be elegant but revealing his true nature!
The waiter at the door opened the door respectfully and the three of them walked into the loft. Under the guidance of a servant girl, Li Chengfeng walked through every room in the loft. The doors of these rooms were all carved with intricate patterns. The patterns were hollowed out and covered with a transparent veil. Standing at the door, one could clearly see what was going on inside. This was to make it easier for customers to judge if they liked it or not, and if they wanted to join the gamble.
Li Chengfeng could not be bothered to look at them. He pushed open the first door and swaggered in.
This was an extremely ordinary dice table. Two people sat at the table. One was an elegant middle-aged noblewoman, and the other was a middle-aged merchant who looked like a nouveau riche. Both of them sized up Li Chengfeng and his companions. The middle-aged noblewoman's eyes lit up while the middle-aged merchant's eyes were scrutinizing them, as if trying to figure out their identities.
The dealer was a average-looking young man with very fair hands. He smiled when he saw Li Chengfeng and said, "Please have a seat. We're playing …"
Li Chengfeng did not wait for him to finish. He smiled and slammed his palm on the table, causing the pear wood table to bounce. However, the other items on the table bounced along with the table, as if they were glued to the table. Only the dice cup with the dice inside jumped up and flipped to the side, revealing six dice inside.
Li Chengfeng slapped the table three more times. This time, the table did not move an inch. Nothing else moved either. Only the six dice three metres away from Li Chengfeng rolled in the air. After three slaps, the first time it flipped six ones, the second time it flipped six sixes, and the third time it flipped an even more shocking number of one, two, three, four, five, six!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. The dealer immediately broke out in cold sweat, knowing that they had encountered a top-notch expert!
Li Chengfeng did not make things difficult for him. He waved his hand and said, "Go invite your most powerful expert here. You're not qualified to play with me!"
