Chapter 60 Betting
What decent person would follow someone all the way to their door? This didn't seem like a kind reminder at all, but rather like someone with bad intentions deliberately scouting the area.
Unfortunately, apart from him, there are only his elderly grandmother and Jian An Ning, who looks powerless, in Lu Fei's family. If someone really has plans against his family, he is really powerless to do anything.
He thought about it for a long time and decided to go to that place.
After all, in this shabby house of his, the only thing that is worth coveting by those with ulterior motives is the blood of God in his hands. The previous man in black and the stalker came here for this reason.
Lu Fei calculated the date and found that the full moon night would probably be the day after tomorrow, so there was still some time to prepare.
Then, he asked Jian Anning, "Are you going to this place?"
He waved the golden card in his hand.
Jane An Ning actually didn’t care whether she wanted to or not, whether she wanted to go or not. She just wanted to go back. After all, her sister would probably be going crazy with worry if she disappeared suddenly.
And somehow, she could feel that going to the address written on the card would give her a better chance of returning.
Then there is no reason not to go, she thought.
Jian An Ning nodded at Lu Fei.
The time in between was peaceful and uneventful, except that Lu Yu said she had found a new job.
Lu Fei assured her that the work was neither dangerous nor tiring, so she stopped saying those annoying words asking Lu Yu to rest at home.
After all, he is the grandson and Lu Yu is the grandmother. If he wants Lu Yu to live out her days at home, Lu Yu will definitely not agree.
Because his grandmother was a very strong-willed person.
Lu Fei sometimes doesn’t quite understand, but still chooses to respect.
Time soon came to the full moon night.
On the dark sky, a full moon shines brightly, while the stars are dim.
Lu Fei took Jian An Ning and moved forward under the bright moonlight.
The address on the golden card was not a remote place. On the contrary, it was on the long street where Lu Fei used to go frequently.
Lu Fei watched helplessly as the long street he had walked countless times in the night turned into a very unfamiliar scene to him.
A golden archway seemed to appear out of thin air and was suspended in the quiet long street. Lu Fei saw some people wearing black clothes and hoods covering their faces, walking towards the golden archway.
Lu Fei thought that this group of people were covering their bodies with black clothes, so he and Jian An Ning must not go in like that.
Jian Anning watched him pull out two large pieces of black cloth from somewhere, sew them together in no time, and handed them to her, saying, "Put them on and cover yourself up."
Of course, there was no reason for Jane Anning to refuse, so they put on simple night clothes and followed the people passing by into the golden arch.
It seems like there is another world inside the arch.
A long road extends from the archway to a magnificent building not far away. There are rows of shops on both sides of the road. Crowds of people are crowded in front of the shops, eagerly looking at the goods inside.
Lu Fei also joined in the fun and went forward to take a look.
He discovered that these shops were selling rare treasures that were rarely seen in the past, including various precious jewels, various sharp weapons, various brocades and silks, and even many magical creatures.
For example, one store had a large sign at the entrance that read, "We can install and repair all organs and limbs we sell."
Lu Fei rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. How and where should the organs and limbs be installed?
Lu Fei was terrified when he thought about it, so he pulled Jian An Ning across the busy road and came to the end of the road.
The magnificent building seemed to be made of gold. The huge doors were inlaid with many gems, and those gems shone brightly like stars in the night sky.
Lu Fei felt that he should have seen such a building there before, but the obscene sounds coming out from inside the door from time to time made him feel that he had never seen such a decadent place except this place.
Lu Fei and Jian An Ning walked in together.
As soon as the door opened, the music became louder and a rich fragrance filled the air, choking Lu Fei and making him cough.
There were two women wearing gauze clothes as thin as cicada wings, standing on both sides, holding pipa and playing music.
Nearer the door, someone came forward enthusiastically and said to Lu Fei, "We can multiply the blood of God in your hand countless times."
"Think about the quests in the temple. They get harder and harder each time, and eventually become ridiculously difficult. But here, you can easily obtain a lot of God's Blood."
"Won't you try it?"
Lu Fei was a little puzzled. Wasn't this divine blood bestowed by the gods? What kind of place was this that dared to claim to have the blood of many gods?
He pondered for a moment, then took out the white porcelain bottle in his hand. He said hesitantly, "I only know that temples can obtain the blood of gods. Is this also a temple?"
The man stared at the white porcelain bottle in Lu Fei's hand, and then revealed a mysterious smile. He led Lu Fei and Jian An Ning inside and said, "You'll know when you come."
They passed through a long corridor lined with countless singers and dancers, and came to a rather spacious golden hall. The gems inlaid on the walls of the hall shone, illuminating the place.
In the middle of the hall stood a huge table. A woman in simple clothes that was totally out of tune with the luxurious atmosphere was leaning against the table, her eyes slightly squinted, and she looked as if she was about to fall asleep.
"Wu Dong," the man who came here because of Lu Fei and Jian An Ning, although he called the woman by her name, his expression was full of respect, "Two new guests have arrived, and they want more blood of the gods."
The woman named Wu Dong opened her eyes with a whirlwind of movement and stood up straight. She waved her hand and told the man to get something. Then she looked them both up and down and asked, "Is this your first time here?"
Lu Fei nodded honestly and said, "Your people said that the blood of God can be easily obtained here, but where does your blood of God come from? I have only seen that the blood of God can be obtained in the trial ground and the temple."
Wu Dong laughed, her laughter echoing throughout the vast hall. She asked, "How do you know this isn't a temple?"
Lu Fei was stunned, and then saw the person leading the way brought two dice cups.
Wu Dong pointed at the two dice cups and said, "How do you know this isn't a test from the gods?"
Lu Fei was still hesitant, and Wu Dong introduced it naturally: "Let's play a game? The rules are simple. Whoever rolls the highest number wins."
Wu Dong said this, pulling out a familiar white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and smiling, "This is my bet."
Lu Fei sneered in his heart, pulled Jian An Ning up and turned away.
Are you kidding? He is not a gambler who has lost his mind due to gambling, so he would not do something that is bound to lose money.
However, it is easy to enter this hall but difficult to leave.
The door slammed shut, isolating the aroma and music from outside. At this moment, this overly luxurious hall was filled with a distinct sense of danger.
"What do you mean?" Lu Fei turned around and asked with an ugly look on his face.
Wu Dong chuckled and said, "The gambling has already begun, but you haven't put down your stake yet."
Lu Fei gritted his teeth and thought to himself that he was such a fool. He should not have joined in the fun. This time, he was destined to pay with his divine blood.
He blamed himself and threw the porcelain bottle containing the blood of God on the table with a little emotion. He didn't know what the porcelain bottle was made of, but it didn't show any sign of breaking.
Wu Dong's smile widened upon hearing this, and he pointed at the two dice cups and said, "Choose one."
"I won't choose." Lu Fei has completely entered the bad mode.
Wu Dong seemed to have seen many people cheating like this before, so he continued calmly, "Then the gambling game can't officially begin. We have to keep going."
"And what I lack the least is time."
Lu Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He could almost foresee the tragic fate he would face if he did as Wu Dong said.
But there is no way.
So he could only go forward and choose the dice cup according to Wu Dong's instructions. Jian Anning, who had been silent the whole time, came over and said, "If you don't want to, then I'll do it."
Lu Fei was slightly startled. He had not expected Jian An Ning to stand up at this moment. He asked hesitantly, "Do you know how to play this thing?"
"certainly."
Jian Anning stepped forward, answered Lu Fei's question, took a dice cup, and said, "I'll play chess with you."
Wu Dong doesn't mind who she plays against.
She took the remaining dice cup, shook it wildly in her hand, and then dropped it on the table.
Wu Dong frowned slightly as he looked at the dice cup that had been left there motionless after being taken away, and said, "Aren't you going to shake it?"
But Jane Anning just shook her head.
Lu Fei wiped his face and thought to himself: Miss Jian originally lived in an isolated place, so she probably doesn’t know much about how the dice game is played.
But Jane Anning didn't give anyone a chance to correct her behavior. She simply opened the dice cup, and the numbers on the three dice inside were 1, 3, and 2 respectively.
This is a pitifully small number.
Wu Dong opened the dice cup and saw three sixes inside.
Wu Dong's brows smoothed down again, a smile appeared on her face again, and she said, "I won."
She instructed someone to take away the porcelain vase that Lu Fei had placed there, then picked up the dice cup and said with a slight smile, "Continue."
"Wait!" Lu Fei stopped her, "Since we've already lost, we should leave."
But when Wu Dong heard this, it was as if he had heard a funny joke. He repeated the last word of Lu Fei's sentence, as if chewing it in his mouth many times before spitting it out.
"Leave? In my territory, how can you leave without risking everything you have?"
Countless men in black appeared in an instant and surrounded them tightly.
Wu Dong, holding the dice cup, chuckled and said, "Come on, we've all come here. How can we leave unless we lose everything and become deserted by everyone?"
Wu Dong placed one of the white porcelain bottles on the table and said to Jian Anning, "Now it's your turn to place your bet."
Jian An Ning thought about it, took out the blood of God in his hand, and started the game again.
Unsurprisingly, she lost again.
Now Jian An Ning and Lu Fei don't have a single drop of divine blood in their hands.
Lu Fei tried to say to Wu Dong, "You just want the God's Blood, right? Now we don't have any God's Blood at all, can't you just let us go?"
Wu Dong laughed again and said, "Who said that? If we only want the blood of God, where will we get the singing girls and dancers here, and the small trinkets from the shops along the street?"
Lu Fei's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the strange shop he had seen before.
He subconsciously scanned the encirclement, hoping to find an opportunity to escape with Jane An Ning.
