Capital City used to be where the emperor stayed, and it served as China’s capital!
Pricing aside, the land within Capital City’s 2nd Ring Road carried with it a special symbolism. It could be said that most of China’s landmarks and pride were all on the 2nd Ring Road. The land within that ring was equivalent to being within the residence of the emperor!
To think that the Sun Nation was aiming to get a hold of such a precious plot of land!
What owning such a plot of land signified? It was equivalent to giving away China’s most treasured land to the Sun Nation!
Wang Yun’s expression turned gloomy, saying nothing.
“Hey, the likes of you are trying to get a hold of Capital City’s land? Dream on!” The flippant sound attracted everyone’s attention. Miyako’s beautiful eyes shot a cold glare at Ye Lingchen.
“Hey beautiful. You look rather cute when you’re angry. Would you like to add me on WeChat? Perhaps we can get to know each other?” Ye Lingchen asked with a smile, looking directly at Miyako.
“Are you here to gamble as well?” Miyako’s expression turned colder by the second, replying calmly.
“That’s right!” Ye Lingchen nodded. “Right now we’re the only two left with chips. Did you think I’m only here to flirt with you?”
Miyako stared at Ye Lingchen, blinking repeatedly.
Since entering the Casino, she had checked everyone out. That was the basic ability of an expert gambler.
Honestly speaking, Ye Lingchen did not pique her interest at all.
He was too ordinary. Too young.
Within the younger generation, Miyako never thought that anyone was worth her respect.
“You have managed to survive all this while. Who is your sensei?” Miyako asked.
To her, Ye Lingchen must have a sensei just like her. Otherwise, he would not have lasted that long.
“My sensei’s surname is Lao, given name Gong,” Ye Lingchen answered quickly while maintaining a serious expression.
“Lao Gong[1]?” Miyako felt the name was weird, but she did not think much about it. Instead, she sneered, “I haven’t heard of him! It goes to show that your sensei is nothing noteworthy. Even if he’s here, he won’t be my match, much less you!”
“It’s easy to arrange for a match with him. All you need to do is to call out his name a few more times and he will naturally show himself,” Ye Lingchen informed Miyako with a smile on his face.
“Call him out a few more times? Lao Gong, Lao Gong. Like that?” Miyako gave it a try.
“That’s right. Keep it up, don’t stop.” Ye Lingchen narrowed his eyes, showing a blissful expression on his face.
Pfft!
Hahahaha!
Around them, several people could not hold it in and burst out in laughter.
Countless eyes looked at Ye Lingchen respectfully. That was just amazing, daring to tease the disciple of the Gambling King. Scary, truly scary!
“You dare toy with me?” Miyako had finally come to a realization. Her gaze turned into a chilling glare, staring directly at Ye Lingchen. At that moment, she emanated an unbelievably strong presence. “You’re asking for death!”
“Sigh, women are truly the most unpredictable creatures. Just a moment ago you’re calling me husband, yet in just another second you’re talking about killing me, not even reminiscing about our feelings,” Ye Lingchen began talking to himself as though he could not feel Miyako’s rage at all.
“Hmph!” Miyako harrumphed, the furious expression on her face slowly calmed down. She then looked at Ye Lingchen teasingly, “This plot of land in China, the Sun Nation is taking it! Putting aside the possibility of you winning against me, as long as I refuse to gamble with you, I’ll be safely placing first! What do you have to compete with me?”
Miyako’s words caused Ye Lingchen’s brows to twitch in silence.
“If you want to gamble with me, that’s possible! However, I will add another condition!” Miyako’s smile turned icy. “If you lose, you will become my slave and serve me forever!”
That move from her was extremely vicious. Ye Lingchen pranked her, yet she wanted him to be her slave, making up for that with a life of slavery.
“Grandmaster Ye, this…you must not agree!” Lu Tianxiong and Lu Hao quietly reminded him, unwittingly showing some anger on their faces. That was an outright insult!
“Sure thing.”
To everyone’s surprise, Ye Lingchen agreed to it without a second thought. He said with a smiling face, “Since this pretty lady yearns to see me every day, I can’t let you down. However, if you lose, I want you to be my maid!”
“Sure!”
Miyako similarly answered without hesitation. She had never thought of herself losing.
The people around them were flabbergasted. Nobody could have thought that things would turn out like this.
“That kid must be crazy!” Jin Heng shook his head. “He doesn’t know how terrifying Miyako is. The ignorant are truly brave!”
Even the foreign expert beside him was crushed, what more could be said of Ye Lingchen?
“He’s asking for it!” Wei Hong was still resentful about Ye Lingchen disqualifying him. “This kid is just too insolent. This time he’s biting off more than he can chew.”
The rest were all shaking their heads. Such a young kid with so many years ahead of him, yet his life was probably done for on that day.
Lu Tianxiong could only smile bitterly. He knew about Grandmaster Ye’s temper. It was pride that ran in his blood. As expected, he had agreed to such a gamble.
“What are you best at? Make your choice.” Miyako asked nonchalantly.
“You should take the pick. After all, you’re going to be my servant soon. This will be your last autonomous decision,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Ye Lingchen’s words once again stunned the crowd. Even at such a time, this person still bragged. Youngsters truly are insolent and impulsive.
“Hehe, you’re really asking for it.” Miyako did not bother to be courteous with Ye Lingchen. The only thought on her mind at that time was to quickly defeat Ye Lingchen, then she would make him regret those words he had spoken!
She immediately decided, “We’ll gamble in the simplest way by rolling dice!”
Just as she finished, someone immediately carried two brand new dice cups.
These dice cups were different from the regular dice cups. They were a good three times larger than usual. Furthermore, it was not the usual three or six dice in them. Each cup instead came with 24 dice!
“Heavenly King Dice!”
Quite a number of people in the crowd identified it by its name and exclaimed, changing into a serious look.
The difference between the Heavenly King Dice and regular dice was that the difficulty of rolling it was harder by over a hundredfold. The dice cup’s size, weight, and the number of dice was abnormal. To roll all 24 dice in one go required a strenuous amount of control over one’s strength. It could be said to have reached the limits in the world of dice, hence the name of Heavenly King Dice!
Nobody would have expected Miyako to have chosen the Heavenly King Dice!
Unless one had put in the effort to practice, it was almost a guaranteed loss for whoever touches it!
Obviously, that was Miyako’s strength. As for Ye Lingchen…he probably did not even know what Heavenly King Dice was, let alone roll them.
“This kid is really in trouble this time…” some people in the crowd lamented.
Most of the people present were Chinese nationals. They were more or less a little biased towards Ye Lingchen. They just shook their heads with a bitter laugh.
