My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 1796 - 255: A Gamble

The Seventh Princess of Great You Country understood Fan Dachuan's temperament, so she would not believe Fan Dachuan's nonsense.

Fan Dachuan, having nothing to say, glared madly at Lei Ming before turning and leaving.

Lei Ming's lips curled slightly, spring breeze triumphant, and he expressed gratitude, "Thank you, young lady, for your noble assistance."

"No need for thanks, maintaining order here is the duty of this Princess." The Princess of Great You Country replied expressionlessly.

"You're the Princess of Great You Country?"

"Do you think a foreign princess can handle affairs within Great You Country's borders?"

"Well, not exactly."

"If not, queue properly, and don't stir up any trouble again."

With those words, the Seventh Princess of Great You Country rode away without looking back, entering a mansion.

Lei Ming was left dumbfounded; this Seventh Princess of Great You Country had quite a fiery temper, it seemed he couldn't afford to provoke her.

Throughout the process, Lin Yifan watched coldly from the sidelines because he believed Lei Ming could handle the situation.

However, Fan Dachuan is quite a capable expert; if not for the appearance of Great You Country's Princess, Lei Ming might have been in a bad fight now.

Despite this, Fan Dachuan is not the kind to easily let things go, and he might cause trouble for them later, so from now until tomorrow, they must act carefully and cautiously.

After quickly registering, the two hurried away.

Watching their departing figures, Fan Dachuan, full of anger and resentment from behind the registration line, immediately sent someone to secretly follow them.

Tonight, he plans to ensure Lei Ming doesn't participate in tomorrow's sword competition at Tianhua Mountain.

...

After a bit of wandering around Tianhua City, Lei Ming and Lin Yifan went to find an inn.

Checked several streets, their responses only amounted to two words: "Full house."

The arrival of the grand event brought a crowd to Tianhua City.

Those who came by admiration or invitation formed a large group.

These people had arrived in Tianhua City long ago and booked all the famous inns, so latecomers could only find lodging in remote areas.

They continued all the way to the outskirts before Lin Yifan and Lei Ming finally managed to rent a room.

Faced with the simple and cramped room, Lei Ming felt embarrassed.

He had never shared a bed with another man, so he felt awkward and uncomfortable.

In the end, not caring about Lin Yifan's face, he asked, "Brother Lin, should I hang out outside tonight?"

"Why?"

"Two men shouldn't share a room." Lei Ming stammered in response.

"What are you afraid of, you little virgin? I'm not going to eat you. Besides, you want to share a bed with me, and I might not agree." Lin Yifan sneered coldly, completely inebriated.

"So, I'll hang out outside, and Brother Lin can sleep inside." Lei Ming responded uncomfortably but respectfully.

"Alright, alright! You, with your little body, staying outside, might catch a cold, and I'll have to waste time with alchemy to cure you." Lin Yifan replied, "Tonight you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

"Sleep on the floor? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"What's wrong with it? That's the plan."

Lin Yifan didn't bother to argue with Lei Ming's shyness and awkwardness.

Lei Ming felt really embarrassed, but Lin Yifan wouldn't discuss it with him, so his words were ineffective. He just went along with the arrangement.

After renting the room, the two went out to find something to eat.

Because this inn only provided lodging and not a place to eat.

As night fell, the city lit up with dim yellow lights.

After dinner, Lei Ming and Lin Yifan headed to the bustling market.

Here, cultivators from various places could be seen everywhere, making it lively.

Lei Ming glanced around continuously, feeling many things were quite new.

Although Heavenly Thunder City also had bustling markets, each place had its own characteristics, and the goods were different, which deeply attracted Lei Ming.

As they walked, Lei Ming noticed a shop ahead bustling with people, so he curiously moved in for a closer look.

Squeezing into the crowd, he discovered a new phenomenon—gambling on gemstones—so he immediately became interested.

As for the gemstone gambling, Lin Yifan wasn't very interested, so he urged Lei Ming to leave.

Lei Ming begged, assuring Lin Yifan he'd leave after just a few minutes.

With no choice, Lin Yifan reluctantly stayed to accompany Lei Ming in observation.

"Oh dear! Almost had it again, seems like this rich guy's luck is off."

"Cut dozens of stones, not a single gemstone, huge loss."

"If it were me, I wouldn't believe these lousy stones contain treasure."

...

These comments provoked the gemstone gambler.

The gambler felt he might have been cheated, so he grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, angrily questioning, "Tell me, are these stones fake?"

"M... Master, these stones are carefully selected and bought from Zhou Mountain mine, there must be treasure among them, you just haven't found it. Besides, gemstone gambling is all about luck; bad luck, and gambling at any shop will be the same." The shopkeeper nervously replied.

He was just a small cultivator, couldn't afford to provoke such big figures from the High Immortal Realm.

"Can't handle losing and starting a fight, this sort of behavior shouldn't be seen in the Jianghu, it's nauseating."

"Exactly, can only bully our Tianhua City's common folk?"

"Have no skills, get lost."

...

Some criticism emerged, making the gemstone gambler reluctant to cause trouble, especially since the shopkeeper's reasoning was valid, and he had nothing to refute.

Additionally, here in Tianhua City, and with the sword competition approaching, causing trouble might lose him his qualifications, leading to a huge loss.

This is a mutually agreed trade, losing means losing, there's no excuse. Blame can only be placed on one's inability to control greed or the hope of breaking even.

Thinking about it, the gemstone gambler admitted defeat, turned away, and disappeared into the crowd.

With this example, those preparing to gamble on gemstones dared not try, and they left one after another.

Watching the scene unfold, Lei Ming curiously asked, "Brother Lin, do you think these stones have treasure?"

Lin Yifan glanced simply, confidently asserting, "They do!"

"Well then, Brother Lin, can you gamble and win a gemstone?" Lei Ming asked, fully trusting Lin Yifan's words.

"Nope." Lin Yifan promptly denied himself, not wishing to waste time on these gemstones.

"Do you think I can gamble and win?"

Lei Ming asked, with a slightly proud tone and a playful eagerness.

"Do you know how to gamble on gemstones?" Lin Yifan retorted.

"I don't, but I can rely on my extraordinary luck to win." Lei Ming answered, full of self-pride.

"Who gave you the courage to say that?" Lin Yifan asked, eager to pour cold water on Lei Ming and dampen his enthusiasm.

"If you don't believe me, Brother Lin, let's make a bet. If I win, you must teach me a move or two."
