Chapter 75 I can't live without her, I regret it, I didn't know I would meet her...
With a "bang," the dice cup fell to the ground.
The air froze for a moment, then a group of people pressed forward, their eyes fixed on the gambling cup, as if their life and fortune were truly on it.
The dealer glanced around, then calmly lifted the lid of the betting cup. The three dice were neatly arranged, with clear numbers.
Six o'clock.
How could it be six o'clock?
His usually calm eyes narrowed for a moment. This man was an expert in dice; he could tell from the sound that there were thirteen points in the dice cup.
He pursed his lips, glanced around nervously, and then subtly looked at the person staring at him. He slowly said, "Six points, the idler wins!"
Lu Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, sweeping the chips on the table over, and said mockingly to the burly, dark-faced man, "You guys have no idea about the benefits of being afraid of your wives."
The burly man had lost both face and substance in front of the beauty, and his face was flushed red. He was about to step forward and shove her when the short man next to him grabbed his arm.
The short, thin man said to Lu Xiaofeng indifferently, "What's there to be proud of after winning only one game?"
Even the unluckiest person can win a round or two at a gambling den. If you keep losing everything, even the "drowned dogs" hiding in the gambling den will have their eyes on you and give you a little taste of victory.
How could Lu Xiaofeng not understand this principle? It's a pity they didn't know that the title of "Goddess of Wealth" wasn't given for nothing.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone in the gambling den knew that a young man, relying on his wife, had won ten consecutive bets against the house. Ten bets would be remarkable in an ordinary gambling den, let alone in the Golden Jade Den.
This young man always bets his entire stake. His extravagant gambling, coupled with his unwavering winning streak, is enough to ignite the passion in anyone who sees him. Immediately, almost everyone in the casino crowded around the table, making it impossible to move.
These people had different thoughts, and of course, they had all sorts of ideas. Only the dealer was sweating profusely, and his entire inner shirt was completely soaked.
Once at the gambling table, the most important thing is to remain calm and composed, not revealing your intentions to anyone. However, he was already in a state of mental chaos, making numerous mistakes.
Although Jin Yu Lou is a newly opened gambling den, Tang Hao has been playing dice for countless years. Of course, playing dice, like killing, requires specialized training.
If his skills weren't so refined, how could he have made it to Jin Yu Lou? In gambling, there are wins and losses, and he has never missed a shot when rolling dice; he can roll whatever number he wants.
But today it's as if I've really seen a ghost! His ears and his hands were meant for this dice cup, but now they seem to have been completely ruined overnight.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and glared at the pale-faced young man. It must have been these two who had tampered with the game. But the two of them were embracing each other and hadn't even sat down at the gambling table. If he were to accuse them of cheating, it would be too much of a turn-off for customers.
The people at the gambling den were naturally getting restless, but Lu Xiaofeng said with a beaming smile, "If we keep gambling like this, it'll probably get very boring."
This meant they wanted to change the game, but Tang Hao's eyes flickered slightly as he deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Of course we can't spoil your fun, young master."
As soon as he finished speaking, the drumbeats began, and several graceful figures emerged. The dancers wore beaded curtains to conceal their faces, thin gauze dresses, and floor-length skirts. Golden bells hung from their snow-white waists, and their bare feet touched the ground. Every smile and gesture exuded charm and allure.
The five women, each with a graceful figure, rushed forward with their wine cups, snuggling into Lu Xiaofeng's arms and saying seductively, "We'll serve you wine, young master."
That one shout could make your bones go weak.
From the crowd, someone chuckled in a low voice, "As expected of Lu Xiaofeng, he's truly blessed with good fortune in love! One stunning beauty after another is trying to snuggle into his arms!"
Even though he shaved off his signature mustache and only had two eyebrows left, there were still quite a few martial arts figures who had seen Lu Xiaofeng.
Who in the martial arts world doesn't know about Lu Xiaofeng's romantic escapades?
Lu Xiaofeng didn't even have time to look up when he heard the sound; he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.
The cheap scent of cosmetics wafted over him, and he raised his hand, hurriedly taking several steps back, saying, "I can't handle this!"
The man laughed loudly three times, saying generously, "Who in the martial world doesn't know that you, Lu Xiaofeng, can't sleep without women? I bet you can handle as many as you want!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng abruptly withdrew his hand, his heart tightening as if he had been stabbed.
He felt suffocated, as if someone was blocking his breathing, and suddenly looked at Yan Jin.
She merely frowned slightly, and Lu Xiaofeng panicked and lost his composure, exclaiming, "One is enough for me!"
The man seemed to be challenging him as well, and laughed loudly, "To avoid upsetting the beauty, Master Lu is really putting himself through this."
Yan Jin smiled gently and said indifferently, "A man who isn't romantic in his youth is wasting his life. What do I have to be angry about?"
Lu Xiaofeng thought he should breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this. But something went wrong, and instead of feeling relieved, he felt an overwhelming bitterness in his heart and a bitter taste in his mouth.
A sour feeling welled up inside him. He blinked hard, moved his lips, and stammered, "I regret it."
He lowered his eyes helplessly and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't know I would meet you."
Meeting you has turned all the moments of joy I once enjoyed into a knife stuck in my heart, each cut piercing my lungs.
The thought of it is like poison going down my throat, or a raging fire burning my insides.
He never believed that a woman could be considered to have lost her virginity. He believed that love between men and women was a matter of mutual consent, and that people in the martial arts world never took it too seriously.
But when you fall in love with someone, you just want to give them everything. Love is a kind of greed, but the blade of this greed is pointed at yourself, for fear that you are not good enough, for fear that you are not giving enough.
The more he loved, the more afraid he became of losing her; this hidden worry made him wish he could erase all the bad things from his past.
But the dancers were oblivious to his intentions, and their delicate hands kept reaching towards his chest.
Lu Xiaofeng said coldly, "If this hand doesn't have eyes, its whereabouts are hard to say."
How strange, how truly strange! Is this really Lu Xiaofeng, the dashing playboy with four eyebrows?
The wandering swordsman was quite surprised: "Lu Xiaofeng is so infatuated with a woman, I'm afraid all the beauties in the martial arts world must be weeping."
Yan Jin paused, her hand gripping her wrist, then suddenly turned to look at the wandering swordsman, her expression pitiful. "Can you bear to see me weeping all day?"
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a rosy blush surrounded her fox-like eyes, which were filled with spring water. These overflowing spring waters filled her heart drop by drop.
Let alone answer him, you couldn't even call his soul back.
The first line of the ancient Chinese tales of the strange and supernatural came to mind: "The eyes of a fox spirit should not be looked at, for if you do, you will be bewitched."
The next instant, those captivating fox eyes were forcefully covered by a large, scratched hand.
Lu Xiaofeng's chest heaved twice as he suppressed the sharp displeasure in his heart and coldly glanced at the dazed martial arts traveler.
I had seen this person before at a banquet in a mountain villa. How come I never thought he was so repulsive before?
The dealer deliberately used this divisive tactic, and immediately said with a smile, "It's just a matter of having someone serve you some drinks. I don't think this young lady will be too harsh. Are you afraid of a shrew's roar, so afraid that you don't dare to utter a sound?"
Jianghu people value their reputation most, and Tang didn't believe that such provocation would be useless.
But he didn't know that Lu Xiaofeng was someone who would only respond to gentle persuasion, not force.
Lu Xiaofeng tightened his grip on her eyes, then suddenly lowered his head and chuckled, saying in a hoarse voice, "It's more than just not daring to breathe loudly; it's because I fell in love with her."
These words caused an uproar among the martial arts practitioners present. Who on earth could make Lu Xiaofeng say such a thing?
As if hearing everyone's thoughts, Lu Xiaofeng, seemingly drunk, suddenly raised his voice and said, "She is my dream lover! The most beautiful, gentlest, most adorable, and sweetest woman in the whole world."
He smiled as if he had just thought of something, "Sweeter than honey. Lu Xiaofeng is hopelessly infatuated with her."
He gently rubbed his eyelids with the calluses on his palms, and Yan Jin blinked twice, staring at the dark spot in front of him, and said in a sweet voice, "I think you did drink a bowl of medicine less."
Lu Xiaofeng chuckled, his dimples deepening. He exhaled lightly and said recklessly, "Yan Jin, her name is Yan Jin. She can take my money, my body, my organs, everything I have!"
Yan Jin couldn't stand it anymore and slapped his hand away. She looked up, turned to meet those bright eyes, and the teasing words she was about to say disappeared without a trace.
He bent down, winked at her with his smiling eyes, and said smugly, "Who told me to fall in love with you?"
A sudden, unrestrained, and intense draft swept through the room, scattering her long, black hair across her shoulders. As her hair swayed, her hair ornaments swayed and collided in the wind, the tinkling of the silver tassels echoing softly.
Yan Jin clenched her fists, suppressing her racing heartbeat. Only the tinkling sound of flowing water echoed in her ears, and the thin snow covering the mountains seemed to melt in the scorching wind.
Another hoarse voice rang out from the crowd, "The rumors circulating in the martial arts world tomorrow are going to be quite interesting!"
Lu Xiaofeng laughed so hard he bent over, bracing himself against countless ardent gazes, and said without any attempt to hide his feelings, "If I cared about these empty titles, I wouldn't be Lu Xiaofeng. I might die tomorrow, but I want the whole world to know that I can't live without her. She is mine."
He raised his eyes, and countless candlelight flickered within them, even displaying a hint of the arrogance of his youth.
Yan Jin stared blankly, as if his eyes alone could keep the lamp burning and the day going.
Tang Hao met his sharp gaze, nodded coldly, and said, "Young Master Lu is so affectionate, it would be a shame to disrespect him."
He abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Since Young Master Lu has already invested so much, he must be hoping to see the Master and have his long-cherished wish fulfilled."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Not bad."
Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then things will be much easier.
He bowed and said, “Young Master Lu, your gambling skills are superb, but if you wish to see the Master, these chips are far from enough. There is a limit to the number of gold and silver tickets that can be bet, and I'm afraid neither of you has had enough. If you are willing to gamble with all your chips, I think the opportunity to see the Master today will be yours.”
Lu Xiaofeng and Yan Jin exchanged glances, and Lu Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and said, "We'll gamble, of course we'll gamble."
