Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 836 - 837: Turning Stones into Gold

As she spoke, Xiao Ziyan pulled Xiao Tianyu along, making him look quite frustrated: "Hey, hey... don't pull me, I'm a person with an incurable disease..."

Are you sure you have an incurable disease?

Upon hearing this, the ladies glanced at Xiao Tianyu with disbelief. I've never seen someone with an incurable disease looking this lively. Earlier on the bus, you said you're going to ascend to heaven; you were probably just fooling us, right?

Having walked several miles, Xiao Tianyu wasn't out of breath or flushed, not at all looking like someone with an incurable disease—more like a vigorous dragon.

An incurable disease, who would believe that?

Soon, Xiao Tianyu, under Xiao Ziyan's tug, arrived at the stone gambling market.

The stone gambling market covered tens of thousands of square meters and was quite large. Inside, many people gathered, turning it into a chaotic battle of mixed fish and dragons, with even Ancient Martial Artists present.

Additionally, there are numerous jewelry stores in the Imperial Capital whose raw materials are transported from here, showing how profound and financially strong this stone gambling market is.

Now, in the center of the market, there were all kinds of strange stones piled up like mountains, with many people selecting stones and some responsible for cutting them. When colors appeared within the stones, the owners of the stones would smile slightly.

Conversely, when nothing appeared within the stones, faces would be clouded with worry, their tens of thousands of dollars wasted.

"Look, that person hit a Middle Grade gemstone, he's struck it rich!" At that moment, someone exclaimed, and many eyes turned. They saw a young man reveal a red gemstone from the stone.

This gemstone contained a thick Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, making it truly priceless.

Many people envied and felt jealous towards him; of course, some showed greed, but thinking about his identity, their greed vanished into thin air.

"It's Gu Hao from the Gu Family. I didn't expect he'd be interested in stone gambling, but he seems to be a pro, picking several stones and hitting a Middle Grade gemstone. Truly enviable!" someone continued.

The Gu Family is an Ancient Martial Clan, quite famous in this area and with a profound heritage, few dare to provoke them.

"Young Gu, your luck wasn't bad!" Soon, a young man smiled and spoke to Gu Hao, who turned his gaze and replied indifferently, "Just average. By the way, Wu Cheng, are you interested in stone gambling too?"

This young man was Wu Cheng from the Wu Family, also from an Ancient Martial Clan, with quite good talent, and treated as a Core Disciple by the Wu Family, though he was quite lecherous.

"I'm just wandering around!" Wu Cheng smiled slightly.

"Are you here for the beauties?" Gu Hao seemed to understand Wu Cheng well. Wu Cheng's eyes flickered, "You understand me, Brother Gu!"

Then Wu Cheng gestured with his finger, his face filled with eager smiles, "See over there? Beautiful, each as if descended from heaven. Are you interested, Brother Gu?"

"Looks like Brother Wu is truly a romantic!" Gu Hao smiled faintly, then looked in the direction Wu Cheng pointed, and was instantly lost in his gaze. Those goddesses were really beautiful; he hadn't seen such breathtaking beauties in his life.

"Seems like Brother Gu is quite interested too, but those young men around the goddesses, they seem quite annoying!" Wu Cheng smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Though Wu Cheng had good talent, he was extremely lecherous, having victimized countless women. But due to the Wu Family's power, those victimized dared not speak up.

"Even if interested, what can you do, snatch them openly?" Gu Hao spoke.

"No need to snatch!" Wu Cheng's greedy look intensified, "With our status, do we need to snatch?"

In Wu Cheng's view, revealing his identity would make those goddesses throw themselves at him.

Moreover, who in this area doesn't know Wu Cheng as a notorious lecher? Instead of struggling, one might as well surrender.

Their conversation was naturally about Xiao Tianyu and the others.

In fact, since Xiao Tianyu and the others arrived at the stone gambling market, they had become the most noticeable group. The reason was simple: they were just too good-looking.

"Tianyu, the gaze of that person over there is really annoying!" Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes flickered, evidently noticing Wu Cheng, who was a hundred meters away.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu replied calmly, "Just ignore it!"

"Alright!" Gu Yunxi nodded.

"Let's go over there for a look!" Then Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, followed by the ladies, so eye-catching it was, drawing countless envious and jealous glances.

Xiao Tianyu, of course, paid no mind to it.

"Brother, how about a gamble?" Xiao Ziyan tugged at Xiao Tianyu's sleeve, suggesting.

"Gambling is illegal!" Xiao Tianyu replied seriously.

"..." The ladies were speechless, their beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Tianyu, as if saying, "You're the highest authority at Emperor Star Academy; aren't you the law? If you say it's not illegal, who dares to argue?"

Thus, Xiao Ziyan tugged at Xiao Tianyu's arm, making him look quite exasperated: "So, what do you want? Middle Grade gemstones, or Top Grade gemstones, or maybe the Best Grade?"

What's the situation?

Upon hearing this, the ladies were stunned. They haven't even gambled yet, and this guy is asking what gemstone they want. Do you have x-ray vision to see through the stones? Are you sure you're not making a mistake?

At this moment, many people's eyes around them were peculiarly fixed on Xiao Tianyu.

Some even said, "That's quite the bullshit. Damn, I've lost tens of thousands and haven't seen a hair, and this guy is just asking the goddesses what gemstone they want. Trying to impress the goddesses like that?"

"Tell me about it; he might get struck by lightning any moment now!"

"..."

As one spoke, many agreed, expressing disdain towards Xiao Tianyu, as if he knew which stones held gemstones.

As for Xiao Tianyu, he naturally ignored the foolishness around him.

At this moment, Lu Die'Er's beautiful eyes flickered: "Are you sure you can win the gamble?"

"Gamble?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Lu Die'Er: "Do I need to gamble? I hit the mark every time. So, tell me, what do you want?"

Not bragging, would that kill you?

At this moment, the ladies felt the weird gazes around and collectively expressed they didn't recognize this bragging fool, clarifying to everyone, don't misunderstand.

However, Lu Die'Er believed it wholeheartedly, her beautiful eyes flashing: "I want a Best Grade gemstone. Can you help me get it?"

"But you'll have to pay yourself!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"If it's not too expensive, I can afford it!"

"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded. Then, he slowly raised his right hand, pointing to a particularly ugly shaped odd stone within the pile, "That one has what you want!"

That one?

That one is so ugly, lying there, having been picked and tossed aside as a reject. Are you sure there's a gemstone inside?
