The Hedonist Sword God - Chapter 379

“Please wait until this round is over.”

Asking Jian Shen to wait since the round had just been started, the female dealer was about to send some flirtatious glances when she shivered and looked away due to a dangerous presence locking down on her.

In fact, not just her but all of the women around the table were forced to look away from Jian Shen due to the same terrifying intent locking down on every one of them.

“You… you are way too jealous for someone who isn’t related to me in any way!”

Crying out in an aggrieved manner, Jian Shen didn’t need to look towards the woman who was doing this as she approached him by herself.

Bending forward and embracing his head from the behind, Xiaxue rested her chin on top of him while her huge breasts were smothering him from either side.

“You are so cruel, little dragon. How can you talk like that towards your future wife?”

“What wife? You’re …”

Unable to finish his words since Xiaxue moved in a flash and sat on top of his waist, Jian Shen said, “If you want, they’ll put a huge throne here for you to sit.”

“No need. I doubt a shitty throne can be more comfortable than your lap anyway.”

Wrapping her arms around Jian Shen’s neck and then nesting her head on his chest, Xiaxue truly made everyone think that she was a loving woman who couldn’t bear to stay away from her loved one for even a short while.

Of course, everyone but Jian Shen who knew the truth thought this.

For Jian Shen, Xiaxue was only trying her best to stay as close to him as possible so that he wouldn’t escape.

Since he knew this, Jian Shen decided to give up on trying to struggle and chose to just enjoy himself for the time being. Once the City of Beginning was opened, Jian Shen would manage to escape her grasp without having to do anything.

After that, the next time he exited the City of Beginning Jian Shen would do his best to immediately disappear and in this way successfully escape from this woman at all costs.

Thinking until here, Jian Shen’s tense body eased up a little and he wrapped his arm around her waist naturally.

Smirking a little as she sensed this change and also guessed the reason behind him relaxing at the same time, Xiaxue subconsciously looked towards the tracking mark she left on his earlobe.

‘You can never escape me, little dragon.’

Waiting patiently until the round was over, Jian Shen was now even more confident since the Jade Rabbit’s unique ability didn’t fail him even once the entire time.

“Now accepting new bets.”

Smiling brightly as she said those words since no one had chosen to leave the table and tell seats had been filled, the dealer smile only kept on growing as everyone placed their bets one by one.

“Three hundred thousand chips.”

“Half a million chips.”

“Two hundred and fifty thousand chips.”

“Seven hund…”

Speaking in an order, Jian Shen received the opportunity to go last.

Counting how many chips had been bet until now, Jian Shen despite wanting to take things easy and not bite more than he could chew right from the beginning decisively spoke, “Two and a half million chips.”

“…!!!”

Stunned for a second, the dealer smiled like she had hit the lottery which made it quite obvious that she would receive some commission depending on the total bets of each round. At the same time, she began cursing Xiaxue without whom she could have made a move on this wealthy and handsome gambler.

“Everyone had now placed their bets. As per the rules, the house will add the same amount of chips. This means that the total pot this time will be ten million chips! Everyone, please try your best to obtain the jackpot bowl which contains five million chips!”

Speaking excitedly since this was the first time such high stakes were being used to play on the table she was the dealer of, the woman didn’t have to wait long before someone came and handed her a spatial ring which contained forty sealed bowls inside them.

Not taking all bowls outside of the spatial ring at the same time, the female dealer brought out one bowl after the other. That too she did so by showing her skills in juggling them, adding one bowl after the other to the juggle, the woman showed off her skills by juggling all forty of them at the same time.

Not that anyone was impressed by it though. For people as strong as them, such a thing could be done even with their eyes closed. Still, due to how beautiful the woman was no one bothered stopping her and just enjoyed the small show after which she started throwing the bowls onto the table one by one.

Throwing all the forty bowls onto the huge rectangle table which was curved on both of the longest sides, the woman bowed and said, “Please make your choice carefully, guests. We don’t allow anyone to pick a second time.”

Hearing those words, everyone just nodded their heads and began moving in their own way.

Some picked randomly, some intensely glared towards the bowls as if trying to see through them, and some even hummed their favourite song on the inside and picked the bowl their eyes were on when the song stopped.

But, the one who picked first was Jian Shen who had chosen the bowl which was somewhere in the middle.

“Since everyone has picked, I will now reveal what the unpicked bowls contain.”

Saying so, the woman began opening the bowls and revealing what was inside them one by one. Sure it took some time, but at the end of it everyone was filled with excitement.

In fact, not just the ones who were playing but everyone in this area around the lake were filled with excitement since out of the unpicked bowls none of them contained the five million chips!

What did this mean? Someone hit the jackpot!!!
