Chapter 74 Golden Jade Pavilion My aunt is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, thank goodness...
As her slender, pale fingertips dipped slightly, Lu Xiaofeng immediately winced and cried out in pain.
Yan Jin glared at him and said irritably, "How could I have used that much force?"
Lu Xiaofeng said with a straight face, "That's right, I know you can't bear to part with it!"
He changed into a crimson robe, and after washing away the mud, he finally looked presentable. Unfortunately, whether as a human or a dog, his face was covered in wounds.
Yan Jin carefully collected all the bottles and jars on the table into the box, without arguing, and slowly said, "This ointment is homemade, it should be more effective than ordinary medicine. How is it, is it better?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I'm too badly injured. If it weren't for the world's cutest little fox blowing on my wounds, I'm afraid I'd have a hard time getting better."
Judging from his glib tongue, how could I not know that he was already much better after applying the medicine?
"You rascal." Yan Jin snorted and glanced at him, saying, "Next time, if you drag yourself around with all these injuries, let's see if I'll still waste my medicine."
Hearing these insincere words, Lu Xiaofeng felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and suddenly grabbed her hands tightly, saying, "Good Jinjin, let me take you down the mountain to play!"
Upon closer reflection, this affection was not without precedent.
Given Lu Xiaofeng's temperament, he guarded this small building like a miser, never leaving it for a moment. If it were in the past, he probably would have disappeared within a few days.
Yan Jin said, "I hide in the deep mountains and don't go out because I don't want to get involved in worldly troubles."
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled, "A minor hermit lives in the mountains, a major hermit lives in the city."
As he spoke, he winked at Yan Jin again, "Besides, with me here, who would dare to cause trouble in front of you? I'll make them pay."
Lu Xiaofeng was a powerful figure in the martial arts world, and his Lingxi Finger technique was incredibly skillful. This is not an exaggeration.
Yan Jin laughed out loud, and said leisurely, "It seems you really have to show me your skills."
......
Qilin Flower Market.
Flower stalls stretched as far as the eye could see, with a dazzling array of flowers clustered together, layer upon layer, like rosy clouds and snow.
Yan Jin led Lu Xiaofeng through the crowd, flitting about like a butterfly. She picked up a rain lily with her right hand, sniffed it delicately, and smiled sweetly, saying, "So many flowers! Why did you think of bringing me here?"
Lu Xiaofeng curled his lips and honestly said, "Actually, Hua Manlou told me about this place!"
Yan Jin immediately thought of the blind young master she had met last night. His clothes were made of fine satin, and the jade pendant hanging at his waist was as pure as solidified cream. His expression was so gentle when he touched the flower petals. He must not be an ordinary flower lover.
Yan Jin's mind raced, and she suddenly thought of that tuberose, saying with a thought-provoking tone, "This young master has told you quite a lot! One good friend like that is enough."
Lu Xiaofeng could only keep his mouth shut; a smart man always has to pretend to be deaf.
After figuring out what had happened, Yan Jin said indignantly, "No wonder I hit it off with him at first sight. It turns out he really is an old friend. It's just that you, the middleman, were the one who acted as the intermediary!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth in envy and widened his eyes, saying, "Love at first sight? How did I become the intermediary?"
He put on a stern face again, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms, "If you don't like me, who else do you want to like?"
Yan Jin shoved him away, grabbed his face, and said, "You've finally managed to take advantage of me."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed in a wise and mature manner, and said slowly, "Don't you understand the principle that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation?"
He took the opportunity to kiss Yan Jin on the cheek, shaking his head and saying, "I've read a lot of flower books and florists this past month. You can buy any flower seeds here, and I'll plant them for you."
Yan Jin's face was wet from his kisses, but her heart was even wetter. She turned her head away and said, "I don't believe your sweet talk."
Lu Xiaofeng got anxious and pulled her over, "How is that flattery? Let alone planting flowers, I've brewed several jars of flower wine."
Yan Jin blinked, then suddenly burst out laughing, "How come someone is secretly brewing wine?"
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at her, frowned, and said, "What if it doesn't turn out well? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
It's always easy to talk the talk but not walk the walk, but it's very difficult to do the opposite.
Yan Jin thought to herself: You're sincere.
Yan Jin had picked countless flower seeds, but fortunately, Young Master Lu wasn't short of money. At this moment, she even surprisingly thought of Hua Manlou's words: "Lu Xiaofeng, if you keep stealing flowers like this, my little house will be completely ransacked in no time."
So he specially sent two copies to Hua Man Lou.
Who says his flowers are the freshest and most beautiful?
Lu Xiaofeng had a new idea and said with bright eyes, "Jinjin, shall I go with you to buy rouge?"
He had certainly seen many beauties, whether lightly or heavily made up, and he used to think that all cosmetics were the same, which gave him a headache.
Now I really want to see what Yanjin wears in different colors of face powder.
Peach pink is delicate, vermilion is vibrant, and lilac purple is elegant; each color has its own unique charm.
No wonder women love rouge.
He reached up and touched the stubble on his lip, saying cheerfully, "Let's buy all the colors."
"You have so much money you can't spend it all?" Yan Jin asked, rubbing his wrist.
Lu Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and spread his hands, saying, "There's nothing I can do. Money can't buy Jinjin's love. I've never cared about money; I'd be willing to spend it all to make you happy."
The flower vendor across the street, unable to bear his boasting any longer, laughed and teased, "What a waste to scatter them like this! Why don't you try your luck at Jin Yu Lou, young master? I heard the owner is in there today!"
A customer who was picking flowers glanced at him and laughed, "This young master is handsome and has a beauty by his side. I'm afraid he has no more desires to fulfill!"
Jin Yu Lou.
Lu Xiaofeng's smile faded, and his expression turned rather unpleasant. He had completely forgotten the most important thing. Just hearing those three words made him feel uneasy, as if a knot of tension was twisting around in his stomach.
His gaze fell on Yan Jin's lower abdomen. He clenched his fists so tightly that blood almost seeped from his mouth.
This is his and Yanjin's child. Will he have fox-like eyes? Will he look a lot like Yanjin when he was a child?
A jumble of chaotic thoughts flowed through my heart like boiling snowmelt, followed by that cry...
My long-cherished wish, my long-cherished wish.
He pondered it twice in his mind, then suddenly said, "Jinjin?"
Lu Xiaofeng was lost in thought for a long time, not expecting that Yan Jin was also looking down, seemingly lost in thought. Hearing his question, Yan Jin slowly clenched her wrist and said with a heavy heart, "Go and see."
The sound of those words was so soft that they dissipated without a breeze.
Just as she was about to walk forward, Lu Xiaofeng grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back.
He pressed his lips against Yan Jin's neck and rubbed against her, saying, "Jin Jin, buy a veil and wear it. The gambling den is full of scoundrels and perverts. If they even glance at you, my heart will break."
On their way down the mountain, everyone they encountered seemed to have their eyes glued to Yan Jin. He was already feeling envious, and now they had to go to the gambling den – how could that be tolerated?
Doesn't he know how despicable the people in the gambling den are? I'm really afraid of running into a few clueless bastards; no matter how much I beat them up, I still won't feel satisfied.
His soft hair kept falling into his shoulder blades, tickling Yan Jin and making him giggle.
There's really nothing you can do when a man who's so annoying, stingy, yet so adorable sticks to you.
By the time the two arrived at Jin Yu Lou, it was past noon. It was lunchtime, but the building was still packed with people, almost breaking down the threshold.
The word "gambling" itself can easily make people lose their minds. Once addicted, how can one stop? When the gambling mood is high, one can even bet their life on the gambling table, let alone a meal.
The 'street vendor' in front of the gambling den had already set his sights on these two fat sheep, bending over so low he was practically digging into the ground, and greeted them, "This gentleman looks like he's got a lucky streak! He's sure to have a prosperous day! Our gambling den is bustling with activity, how about a couple of rounds, sir?"
Yan Jin pointed to herself and said with a smile, "Then what do you think of my face?"
The girl's face immediately turned red, and she stammered, "With such a beautiful appearance, what wouldn't you want, gold and silver?"
I'm afraid that if she just said she wanted something, countless men would rush to pile gold and silver at her feet.
Yan Jin laughed out loud, her voice like a silver bell.
Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened, and he said expressionlessly, "I never knew you could get so into gambling."
Yan Jin poked his cheek, right where the dimples were, and said sweetly, "I was just afraid of ruining your luck, Master?"
The envious and jealous gazes of the men around him almost pierced Lu Xiaofeng, but he finally revealed his dimples and said lazily, "Don't be afraid, my luck has always been incredibly good."
This Golden Jade Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a den of iniquity; the entire way inside is filled with all sorts of beautiful women, fine wines, and countless gambling games.
Lu Xiaofeng calmly surveyed the crowd, noting that among them were not only famous wealthy merchants, but also many well-known figures in the martial arts world.
The gambling at Jin Yu Lou is worth a fortune, but all gambling dens in the world are just using the same tricks.
"Sir, would you like to bet on big or small? Place your bet and you're done."
He hugged Yan Jin tightly, using his body to block those old men with impure intentions, and asked with a smile, "Jin Jin, should we buy the big one or the small one?"
Yan Jin said lightly, "How would I know you have such good luck?"
Lu Xiaofeng coughed lightly and said seriously, "No matter how good my luck is, I still have to listen to you."
Yan Jin chuckled lightly; how could she not understand his meaning?
She glanced at the bets placed on the gambling table and said sweetly, "Then I'll bet on small."
The burly, dark-faced man next to him sneered, "A henpecked pretty boy, trying to gamble like a real man."
If it weren't for the fact that the casino was full of tough guys, and no one dared to cause trouble under their noses, this pretty boy would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.
Lu Xiaofeng wasn't angry. He just said seriously, "My aunt is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. We must treat her well."
He took out all the silver notes in his pocket and placed them on the gambling table. Two thousand taels was a considerable sum, but no one in Jin Yu Lou would give it a second glance.
The dealer, dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with gold thread, had a cold expression. He skillfully picked up the dice cup, flicked his wrist, and the crisp sound of the dice colliding rang out.
Several martial arts practitioners held their breath, and even Lu Xiaofeng listened intently.
In a few breaths, the dice cup was slammed heavily onto the table.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly winked at Yan Jin.
Who says only gambling dens are allowed to cheat?
