Chapter 57

"Still, it's better to be cautious," Xia'er felt a bit more at ease after hearing this. "Do you want to go to the gambling den and supervise?"

"No need," Mei Chaofeng picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. "Although Mei Huaqi's cultivation is not high, he can hold a high position under me because he is the best gambler. For over a decade, no one has ever beaten him. In recent years, he doesn't even need to play himself; he has trained a group of disciples who can handle various situations. With him overseeing the Yingu Hook Gambling Den, the young lady can just wait for good news."

At this moment, the gambling master Mei Huaqi was bowing low around Zuan An, asking, "What would you like to play, young master?"

Mei Huaqi felt a bit contemptuous of his own servile attitude, but thinking that this guy would soon be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, this bit of humiliation didn't seem so bad.

"What game tests luck the most?" Zuan An looked around. He had come to this gambling den today to "take" money, not because he was a gambling god, but because he had a lucky pill drawn from the keyboard.

While the keyboard's products were sometimes unreliable, when used correctly, they were incredibly powerful. He had already experienced this deeply. This time, the lucky pill he drew, he originally planned to use for a lottery, but it turned out to be ineffective for the keyboard's lottery, which had given him a headache for a while, unsure of its use.

Until Mei Shisan's appearance made him realize a clever use for the lucky pill. In gambling, skill is important, but luck is even more crucial. In the face of absolute luck, skill is powerless.

Of course, this is all predicated on no one cheating. Otherwise, no matter how lucky he was, he would still be slaughtered like a pig.

This was also why he brought Chu Chuyan along, not only for his own safety but also to prevent the casino from cheating.

Although Chu Chuyan didn't know how to gamble, her Fifth Rank cultivation meant that any tricks these people tried would not escape her notice.

"The game that tests luck the most is Dice Treasure," Mei Huaqi smiled, but inwardly sneered. This game appears to be about luck, but the casino can shake the dice to whatever number they want. You'll just be a piece of meat on the board.

"What is Dice Treasure?" Zuan An asked, puzzled.

"It's a game of high and low," Mei Huaqi said, exasperated.

"High and low is just high and low, why make it sound so fancy," Zuan An gave him a contemptuous look.

Mei Huaqi didn't get angry, thinking that if this guy didn't even know this, no wonder he lost a thousand taels before. Today, if he doesn't lose ten thousand taels, no, tens of thousands, I, Mei Huaqi, will retire!

"Ha ha ha, Zuan, you have a clear path to heaven but choose to enter hell," a loud, arrogant laugh came from nearby.

Zuan An turned around and saw Mei Shisan being pushed in a wheelchair, his eyes red with madness.

Mei Huaqi inwardly cursed, thinking that this guy couldn't just hold back. If he jumps out now and scares him away, what will happen?

Zuan An laughed when he saw Mei Shisan's state: "If your leg is broken, just rest. If you keep moving around, you might end up with a broken arm too."

Mei Shisan's teeth were almost bleeding from clenching them: "Little bastard, without the teachers from the academy to protect you, let's see what you can do. Men, break his arms and legs!"

Anger from Mei Shisan +798!

"Yes!"

Mei Shisan held a high position in the Mei Hua Gang and had many ruthless followers. Hearing his command, they rushed over.

Zuan An quickly hid behind Chu Chuyan: "My dear, you saw it with your own eyes. This guy is so arrogant in front of you. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chu Chuyan was annoyed by his constant use of "my dear," but with so many people around, she couldn't correct him. She could only vent her anger on Mei Shisan: "What did you just say?"

A cold aura spread, and the previously noisy and stuffy gambling den suddenly became cool. Many gamblers even shivered involuntarily.

Mei Shisan was stunned. He had rushed over upon hearing the news, not expecting Chu Chuyan to be there. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. A Fifth Rank expert, the entire Mei Hua Gang combined couldn't match her.

Mei Huaqi quickly stepped in to mediate: "Miss Chu, Miss Chu, this is all a misunderstanding. Thirteen's leg is injured, and the pain has made him speak without thinking. He mistook you for someone else, he mistook you for someone else."

"Mistook me for someone else?" Chu Chuyan sneered, looking at Zuan An. "How do you want to punish him?"

Zuan An was surprised. This cheap wife usually treated him coldly, but now she was giving him face in public?

Overjoyed, he pointed at Mei Shisan: "Since this guy just threatened to break my arms and legs, break his arms and legs."

"Good!" As Chu Chuyan spoke, a white figure flashed, and before anyone could react, Mei Shisan was screaming in pain, unable to sit in his wheelchair. His hands were clearly broken, and his legs were broken again, blood seeping through the bandages.

Seeing Chu Chuyan return to her spot with a cold expression, the people in the gambling den drew in sharp breaths. This woman looked delicate but was so ruthless?

The few who had whistled and teased earlier swallowed hard and took a few steps back, hiding in the crowd.

Zuan An gave Chu Chuyan a thumbs up. Indeed, she was a worthy wife, ruthless and quiet, no, beautiful and quiet.

Chu Chuyan glanced at him coldly: "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not doing this for you, but for the Chu family's dignity." She had been skeptical of his words before, but seeing Mei Shisan's arrogance, she realized Zuan An was probably right.

The Mei Hua Gang was indeed targeting him!

Although the Chu family couldn't directly interfere in local affairs due to the court's restrictions, they wouldn't let someone insult them without retaliation. This guy dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her, thinking the Chu family was easy to bully.

"It's the same, it's the same. It's all our family's dignity," Zuan An said with a grin.

Chu Chuyan rolled her eyes. This guy's face was thicker than the city walls.

Zuan An, however, saw this as a good opportunity to harvest anger points. He went to Mei Shisan and looked down at him: "What did I say? If your leg is broken, rest. If you keep moving around, you might end up with a broken arm. You ignored my good advice, and now your arm is broken, right?"

Mei Shisan was in pain and anger: "Zuan, you always hide behind others. If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

Anger from Mei Shisan +999!

Zuan An laughed: "Do you think I'm like you, a powerless nobody? Why wouldn't I use my connections? I'm a precious person, not someone like you. What era are we in, still doing one-on-one duels?"

Damn, how shameless!

The people around them were stunned. A few days ago, you were a poor, worthless guy. Now, you're acting like a noble?

Anger from Bystander A +66!

Anger from Bystander B +66!

Anger from Bystander C +66!

...

Not just the bystanders, even Chu Chuyan felt the urge to cover her face.

Mei Shisan finally couldn't hold back and shouted: "What's so precious about you? You're just a freeloader."

Anger from Mei Shisan +1000!

"So what if I'm a freeloader? Why don't you find a beautiful, strong, and well-connected wife like her?" Zuan An said, putting his hand on Chu Chuyan's shoulder.

Anger from Mei Shisan +666!

Mei Shisan didn't know whether he was more angry at this guy's shamelessness or at his inability to find such a wife.

Not just him, the people around him, seeing his smugness, contributed a wave of anger points.

Zuan An thought it was wise not to go to the VIP room. Without the audience, where would all these anger points come from?

Chu Chuyan slightly moved away, freeing herself from his hand, and scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up, you're embarrassing me." This guy had no noble manners, which was beyond her comprehension.

Zuan An then went to Mei Shisan: "You made my wife angry, so I'll fight you one-on-one!"

Mei Shisan: "???"

Damn, it was you who made her angry! Why am I blamed?

Anger from Mei Shisan +666!

Wait, he said one-on-one?

Before he could react, a shoe sole appeared in front of his face, and his nose started bleeding.

Zuan An sighed: "You were the one who wanted a one-on-one, but now you're so weak, not even a match for me. What's the point?"

Damn!

My arms and legs are broken, and you want a one-on-one now?

Mei Shisan had fantasized many times about beating Zuan An to a pulp if he had no protection. Now, the opportunity was here, but he was beaten to a bloody mess.

The huge disparity and the shame of being beaten by a wimp made him faint.

Anger from Mei Shisan +1024!

Zuan An was surprised, seeing this number and instinctively wanted to say "May you have a peaceful life." This was the first time he encountered anger points over 1000. Was this the upper limit of anger points, but only under very specific conditions?

He was about to kick a few more times, but Mei Huaqi and others had already reacted, blocking him: "He's already unconscious. Isn't it too much to keep pressing?"

Saying this, he felt awkward because they were usually the ones bullying others, not the other way around. Such words were often said by the weak in front of them, but today he had to play the role of the weak.

This guy was really...

He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. Who the hell is the villain here?

Anger from Mei Huaqi +666!
