Nan Qing had no idea that this gambling den was divided into an inner and outer area.

Actually, she's just in a regular outdoor area, where most people are just ordinary folks playing around.

Therefore, most of the silver and copper coins were in loose form, and it was rare to see a whole ten taels of silver being pressed down.

Several observant people in the room immediately noticed the gambling table where Nan Qing was, and they all secretly moved closer to it.

"Place your order now!"

"Place your order now!"

The person in charge of this table inside the casino gave a shout, and many more people threw down their coins.

"466"

"big!"

As the dice cup is opened, four, six, six—sixteen points! That's a big win!

The winners happily swiped their coins towards their side, while the losers could only sigh and curse their bad luck.

Nanqing just happened to be on the losing side!

She stared with those clear eyes that seemed to say, "You're rich but stupid," while her small hands kept tugging at Wang Fu behind her, and said:

"Wang Fu, Wang Fu"

"Quick, can you take a look at this for me?"

"Has this young master lost?"

"I lost?"

"I lost?!!"

Our little goddess is a bit skeptical.

You think I could lose to such a simple game?

Wang Fu looked at the Empress, who seemed somewhat vulnerable, with a pained expression, trembling and not daring to tell the truth.

"this....."

"Your Highness, Young Master, this is just a matter of luck. Our luck wasn't great last round, but we'll definitely have better luck next time!"

There's no other way but to coax him. Otherwise, can he say, "Your Majesty, you lost, you lost"?

But Nanqing herself felt the same way.

After cheering herself up, she heard the "place your bet" sign and tossed a ten-tael silver ingot onto the "small" character.

I even secretly thought, this can't stay big forever, it'll be small eventually!

"Little Eight, quickly use your telepathy!"

"I have a feeling it must be small."

What do you think?

Xiao Ba confidently told Nan Qing:

[Host, don't worry.]

【You're an immortal, our luck in this small world is nothing to us!】

[Even Xiao Ba thinks this time it's definitely a small one!]

The two people, one human and one fox, had two pairs of eyes, four pupils in total, staring intently at the covered dice cup.

"556"

"big!"

Nanqing and Xiaoba both blinked their big eyes in unison.

"Xiao Ba...."

"You're talking about our luck..."

"Is it really that good??"

Not only his expression, but Nan Qing's tone was now filled with disbelief.

ha! ! ! ! ! !

She lost?

Twice?!

After the initial disbelief, Nan Qing began to get a little carried away, muttering resentfully to herself:

"I refuse to believe it! How could I, the dignified Goddess of Nebula, lose at such a trivial gambling table?"

So, after another round of gambling began, Nanqing angrily threw the remaining three ten-tael silver ingots from his purse onto the "small" character again!

Half an hour later

Private rooms inside the casino.

Nan Qing swallowed hard, looking at the chubby, smiling face in front of her. She leaned back slightly and whispered to Wang Fu, who looked even more distressed, "..."

"Wang Fu, how much silver do we owe...?"

Wang Fu also felt somewhat embarrassed, and hesitated as he looked at their Empress before speaking:

"Your Majesty, young master, it's nine thousand taels..."

Hearing this, Nan Qing felt dizzy. Had she gotten herself into trouble?

Feeling a little anxious, she hiccuped, and between hiccups, she shifted the blame, asking:

"Hiccup~"

"How could you... hiccup... not stop... hiccup... me from ordering?"

Wang Fu thought to himself that he couldn't stop the Empress Dowager on ordinary days, let alone the Empress Dowager who had just gone mad, but he still obediently took all the blame upon himself.

"It's this old servant's fault."

"This old servant has already sent someone back to fetch the silver."

"They should be back soon, young master, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing this, Nan Qing felt less panicked. She was truly afraid of being forced to wash dishes to pay off their debts...

Thinking back to what had just happened, Nan Qing felt a little regretful, realizing that she had actually been having a pretty good time outside.

Although I lost a few games, I also won many.

Later, someone told them that there were more fun things to do inside, so Nanqing led Wang Fu and several guards into the inner area.

Actually, she did win a few games at first, which made her extremely happy.

But then they just kept losing...

To this day, I still owe the gambling den nine thousand taels...

Not only Nan Qing, but even the little fox in her arms is listless now.

suddenly.

A hand rested on her shoulder.

Nan Qing was startled.

Who dares to be so bold? Where are Wang Fu and his guards?!

But when Nanqing turned around, her previously listless eyes immediately lit up. Her face fell, and she looked pitifully at the newcomer, saying:

Qin Mobei

"Why are you so late?"

Qin Mobei raised his hand and patted Nan Qing's fluffy little head. Looking at his aggrieved little empress, his heart sank slightly, and he said softly:

"Good boy/girl~"

"I am coming"

Wang Fu, who was behind him, quickly brought a chair for His Majesty and placed it next to the Empress.

There's hope! There's hope!

In his heart, his emperor was omnipotent!

After Qin Mobei sat down, he took Nan Qing's small hand and squeezed it, then whispered a few words of comfort. Only when he saw that Nan Qing was no longer so dejected did he look up at the person across the gambling table.

Qin Mobei's face was expressionless, and his tone was indifferent.

"I heard my wife owes nine thousand taels of silver at your gambling den."

"why not"

"Let's make a few rounds."

Qin Mobei slightly raised his right hand and made a gesture to the people behind him. Then, a guard dressed in dark, tight-fitting clothes and exuding a murderous aura placed a box of moderate size on the gambling table.

He opened the box and poured the thousand taels of gold inside onto the table.

One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver.

One thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

Actually, this amount isn't much in the gambling den, but looking at Qin Mobei's demeanor and the guards accompanying him...

Yao Ping, the manager of the casino across the street, sensed something was wrong. He immediately whispered something to the person next to him, then looked at Qin Mobei and Nan Qing with a smile and said amicably:

"Young master, I am the manager of this gambling den."

"Your Madam does indeed owe nine thousand taels of silver at our gambling den."

"However, our gambling den's owner is also a well-known member of the Huo family in Beiyan City, and our owner is extremely hospitable."

"We didn't know that you, Madam, were visiting Beiyan City from out of town. Since you are a guest of Beiyan City, then you are a guest of our master."

"Let's settle this score then. I hope it didn't spoil Madam's mood."

Yao Ping wasn't surprised when he heard the distinguished-looking man opposite him say that the other handsome man was his wife.

Having frequented various places for years, how could he not see that Nan Qing was a woman disguised as a man?

I never expected that this woman would have such an imposing husband.

When Yao Ping saw the thousand taels of gold, his first reaction was not excitement.

Instead, it felt like something was wrong.

The man exuded an aura that was even more intimidating than their boss.

Yao Ping felt a shiver run down his spine just from the mere glance he gave him.

That man casually handed over a thousand taels of gold.

Moreover, the guards following behind him exuded a strong aura of blood...
