The Hedonist Sword God - Chapter 377
Still trying his best to get his hand free of Xiaxue’s grasp, Jian Shen was regretting the fact that he didn’t use the spatial token and escape to the Divine Realm when he had the chance to.
Blaming his overconfidence from thinking that he could come on top regardless of what the situation was, Jian Shen was now seeing a dangerous future where he’d always been on the bottom while the slutty dragon would bounce on top of him and squeeze him dry every single day.
Shivering once again Jian Shen couldn’t help but try to think of a way to avoid that fate at all cost.
“Don’t worry, little dragon, I’m a very kind-hearted and magnanimous woman due to which I’ll accept you even though you are so weak.”
Bringing her lips near Jian Shen’s ear and making everyone who saw them think they were an intimate couple, Xiaxue first slightly bit down on his ear to leave a tiny marking which would let her track him at all times after which she said, “I’m never letting you go, little dragon. The two of us will bring the Heavenly Dragons into a new era of prosperity.”
Smiling bitterly, Jian Shen hated how seductive this vixen was due to which he was feeling a little turned on despite wanting to escape her at all costs.
“Is little dragon’s little brother excited from thinking about ravaging this married woman’s adulterous cave?”
Speaking such words in a tone which made its way straight towards Jian Shen’s soul, Xiaxue looked like she would end up mesmerising him with just her words and take him back with her willingly.
Refusing to answer, Jian Shen bit his tongue to maintain his senses and asked, “What are we doing here?”
“I guess I should explain things to you. You are going to gamble dao.”
“Gamble dao?”
“Yup. Though people call it dao gambling, I don’t see much difference in the two of them.”
Forcing Jian Shen to give her his name if she wanted her to explain more, Xiaxue began explaining about Dao Gambling after telling him her name.
“Remember those chips you’ve exchanged for at a 1:1 ratio by using Dao Stones? All of the dao laws they contain can be comprehended by you in less than a minute if you manage to gamble properly and win.”
“Even though those chips contain around a third of the dao laws that a dao stone contains, and they contain the most basic dao laws of fire, water, wind, lightning, and so on, considering how you can comprehend them in just a few seconds make them worth more than those dao stones which need years upon years of secluded comprehension, don’t they?”
Nodding his head unconsciously since these chips were essentially worth more than a single dao stone due to how quickly they can be comprehended, Jian Shen almost asked won’t the casino take a loss by doing this when he suddenly realised the truth.
No casino was going to take a loss, and there was no way this one would take a loss either. After all, he had almost forgotten how Xiaxue had explained that he needed to gamble and win if he wanted to use them.
“How do you gamble here?”
“It’s quite simple.”
Pointing towards the table they were walking behind, Xiaxue said, “Each player places how many ever chips they want as the bet, Once everyone does that, the dealer will add the same amount of chips to the total pot.”
“Next, a total of forty such bowls are placed on the table which contain the entire sum of chips divided among them. Of these forty bowls, twenty of them are completely empty while the other twenty can randomly contain any sum of chips out of the entire pot. Of course, out of these twenty round bowls one bowl contains half of the entire pot.”
“You need something to draw customers, and that jackpot is what everyone hopes to obtain.”
Stunned from hearing how this was a real gamble which depended entirely on luck and there was no skill involved in winning. In fact, one might bet a hundred chips and the other can bet just one chip and still end up choosing the bowel which possessed half of the entire winnable chips.
Pointing somewhere else next, Xiaxue continued, “See that one who managed to pick one of the bowls which contained the chips. See what happens now.”
Picking the bowl he had opened, the man’s eyes were shining despite the pitiful five chips inside the bowl. Placing the opened bowl in front of him on the table, the man didn’t do anything as the array which was neatly laid to cover just him and the part of the table in front of him lit up brightly.
Following this, the chips inside his bowl began shining after which they exploded into a mist which covered the man who greedily inhaled the powder which was entering his body anyway.
“This… If he comprehends different daos at the same time, won’t he stray from his path?”
“That depends on how talented he is. If he is good enough, he will be able to comprehend each dao and manage to maintain their state separately from the other ones, like her.”
Pointing towards a girl in the distance who had a dao ring around her which was perfectly split into red and blue colour, Xiaxue looked around for a few seconds after which she pointed towards a man who was pitch black in colour and had a pair of antlers on his head.
“If you aren’t talented, that is what will happen.”
Frowning towards the single dao ring which looked like it was split into eight pieces due to the different colours, Jian Shen didn’t need to wait too long before the eight colours began mixing with each other due to which in the end the entire ring disintegrated and turned into untouchable ash.
As for the man from a weird race, he coughed up a lot of blood and fainted because of the backlash.
Surprisingly, even though many people saw this they didn’t show any special reaction as if they were used to seeing such a thing and went back to minding their own business.
“How is it, little dragon? Do you dare Dao Gamble?”
