In the Bliss Building, the first thing that caught his eye was the courtesans. They were singing and dancing in the middle of the hall. Their singing was melodious, and their dancing was charming. Next, there were gambling tables of all sizes around the stage. Everyone was drinking wine while placing their bets excitedly.
Gambling had existed since ancient times. Anything could be used as a stake, including money, women, reputation, power, and even life. Anything you could think of.
Zhu Houcan looked at the people around him who were spending money in a drunken stupor and just smiled casually.
It was not that there were no such people in the future. This Blissful Pavilion was just a private meeting like in the future. It was almost the same.
Looking at a familiar figure in front of him, Zhu Houcan smiled and said to Blooming Flowers," Lu Xiaofeng is here. I recognize him."”
Blooming Flowering Tower nodded and said," That's right, he's here. His friend Sikong Zhaixing is probably here as well. Let's see how they move first?”
Zhu Houcan pursed his lips helplessly and said," You smelled it again, didn't you?”
Blooming Flower said with a smile," Everyone's smell is different. You know that my nose is more sensitive.”
Zhu Houcan agreed with him. After all, Blooming Flowering Brothel's strongest abilities were hearing and smell.
There was a large gambling table on the second floor. They were betting on turtles, and martial artists were standing around them.?
Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing stood at the side and observed for a while. He took out a handful of notes worth a thousand taels of silver and casually threw them on the table.
When the gambling official saw this, he quickly took it and handed it back to him. He explained," Sir, our Bliss Hall can only use cash and jewelry as bets. Banknotes are not allowed.”
Lu Xiaofeng put away the silver notes, took out a silver ingot worth fifty taels, and threw it on the gambling table.
When the gambling official saw this, he shook his head and said," Sir, we have at least 1,000 taels here.”
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly. He looked at Sikong Zhaixing and said," I don't have it on me. Do you have it on you?"”
Sikong Zhaixing shook his head and continued," Jewelry? Look, is this pendant okay?"
Lu Xiaofeng took it, looked at it, and said," Aren't you afraid that the main character will catch you red-handed?”
Sikong Zhaixing looked left and right and said in confusion," Where is it? Who dares to catch me?”
Lu Xiaofeng gestured for Sikong Zhaixing to come behind him. The two of them turned around and saw Blooming Flowers and Zhu Houcan.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said," These two young masters are dressed in expensive clothes from head to toe. They are well-dressed. However, look at the young master holding the fan. The pendant on his fan is missing. It must be done by you, the king of thieves!”
Lu Xiaofeng walked up and handed it back to Blooming Flowers." You dropped your pendant, and now it's returned to its original owner."”
When Blooming Flowers heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, he smiled and replied," It's indeed quite fated. As for the pendant?”
The two of them looked at Sikong Zhaixing and smiled.
Sikong Zhaixing explained," I think this pendant is pretty good. I'm just borrowing it for a few days. I'll definitely return it to you."”
Everyone nodded and smiled in unison.
In the Blissful Pavilion, no one reported their names, but the four of them knew it in their hearts. Blooming Flowering Pavilion smiled and said to Lu Xiaofeng," I saw that this young master wants to gamble. Then use this pendant of mine!”
Lu Xiaofeng said," Thank you. I'll lend it to you."”
With that, they came to the gambling table. Lu Xiaofeng handed the pendant to the gambling official and said," Do you think this is okay?"”
The official took it over and examined it carefully. He nodded and said," The color is bright and the carving is exquisite. It's a rare piece of top-grade jade. This pendant is worth 10,000 taels.”
Lu Xiaofeng continued," Then, how do you explain the game?”
The official said," Today's bet is a bet on turtles. There are a total of four turtles. They are the Red-backed General, the Yellow-browed Heavenly Venerate, the Green-headed Fiend, and the Green-faced Scholar. Whichever turtle reached the finish line first would win.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff opened four boxes. Inside were turtles, and the turtles were painted with the corresponding colors.
When they were ready, the official said," Please place your bets!”
When the people around heard this, they placed their bets one after another. Lu Xiaofeng randomly chose one and placed a bet.
The gamble soon began.
In the beginning, the turtles crawled very slowly, and no difference could be seen at all. However, after 15 minutes, the gap was revealed. At this time, the race track was already halfway through.
A burly man inadvertently placed a hand on the gambling table, and the yellow-browed Heavenly Venerate he had bet on quickly stood up.
Zhu Houcan observed carefully and suddenly realized that he was cheating with his internal energy. No wonder Heavenly Venerate Yellow-Browed seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac.
Lu Xiaofeng also quickly discovered the problem. He stretched out two slender fingers and pressed them on the gambling table.
The red-backed general quickly got up as if he had been injected with chicken blood and quickly surpassed the yellow-browed Heavenly Venerate.
When the burly man opposite him saw this situation, he gave a look to the person beside him. The person next to him quickly put a hand on his body.
Yellow-browed Heavenly Venerate's speed increased again. Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng continued to use his power. The red-backed general was still in the lead.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't compare to Lu Xiaofeng's internal energy, another five people came.
The current situation was Lu Xiaofeng fighting seven opponents at once, competing in internal energy.
Yellow-browed Heavenly Venerate and the red-backed general were also climbing quickly. The red-backed general was slightly ahead.
Blooming Flowering Pavilion didn't have much of a reaction, still smiling.
However, Zhu Houcan was watching with great interest. After all, he had just started to come into contact with martial arts, so he was still quite curious about these things. After all, internal strength could make a turtle crawl faster. He was still very curious.
Finally, the red-backed general won by a head. Lu Xiaofeng won.
Sikong Zhaixing quickly went forward and hugged the silver on the table. He laughed and said," We won. We're really rich now."”
Zhu Houzhao shrugged. After all, although he never cared about money, he liked the feeling of winning. Who would like to lose?
The seven burly men on the opposite side slammed the table angrily. Although they were wearing masks and their expressions could not be seen, Zhu Houcan could guess that they must be very angry now.
However, who cares what they did? They were just a bunch of small shrimps. If he wanted to get rid of them, it would be in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said," Those who see it will have a share. Then let's split it among the four of us!”
As he spoke, he picked up the pendant and returned it to Blooming Flowers. He said happily," Not only did we keep the pendant, but we also made a fortune. I'll return it to you."
Blooming Flower took the pendant and said with a smile," We've made a deal. I only want my pendant. If I win, it's all yours."”
"I don't need it. After all, I don't have to spend money on my own.”Zhu Houcan shrugged and said indifferently.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't care about what he said. He knew how rich Prince Wu's mansion and the Hua family were. This was just a drop in the bucket.
