Looking at the beautiful and delicate face in front of him, Zhang Tianhao remained unmoved, after all, he really didn't have the energy to think about anything else right now.

"Oh, right, there's a big clock at home that I have to wind up every day. It wakes me up at one o'clock!"

"Ok!"

Xiaoju responded, but seeing that he was unmoved, she gave up and went back to her room to sleep.

New quilt, new bed, new pillows, new sheets—everything was new, and it almost felt unreal to her.

She was sold to a new man; she could hardly believe that she was like this now.

Meanwhile, in the small courtyard outside, Zhang Tianhao continued to cultivate. With each cultivation session, his spiritual power increased, and at an increasingly rapid pace.

Once he breaks through the last few blood clots, he can regain his former strength.

Time passed quickly, and when he woke up again, he looked at his watch and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, it was already one o'clock, and Xiaoju still hadn't woken up at all; in fact, she was still fast asleep. Clearly, no one expected her to be sleeping so soundly.

Shaking his head, he went straight to the kitchen and took out a lot of coarse grains and more than ten kilograms of refined grains from his spatial storage, which was quite a good amount.

At the same time, he also piled up a bunch of firewood in the yard. This firewood was the one he had cut on the mountain last time. Now that he had so much firewood, it would definitely be enough for him.

Salt, oil, seasonings, and some utensils that weren't in the kitchen before—even several bowls were brought out. The entire kitchen looks brand new now, completely transformed.

After doing all that, he looked around the house and started preparing to dig a basement in the kitchen area after his mental strength had fully recovered in a few days.

After all, having a basement makes it easier to store things at home.

Or at least on the surface, there are no other unnecessary items in the house, and security is guaranteed to a certain extent.

After doing all this, he headed towards the casino.

The casino was still as lively as ever, except that Xiaoju's father was no longer there.

He secretly harmed her, and she probably won't live more than a few days. What he told Xiaoju was true.

"Ah Shan, how did you feel going back this time? Were your legs weak?"

At this moment, Dog Brother looked at Zhang Tianhao and sized him up, clearly looking for something!

"Hey kid, you brought your little wife home this morning, you didn't do anything with her, did you?"

Dog Brother laughed, and even his henchmen looked at Zhang Tianhao curiously, asking with a hint of curiosity, "You've never been with a woman before, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao's face darkened; he never expected the other party to say such a thing.

"Brother Gou, I just went back to buy some things and tidied up the house, then I came to work. I didn't have time."

"No way, no way!"

"How could that be? I'm really strong, you know!"

"Haha, he's just a virgin. If we take him to Cuihonglou, they'll even give him a red envelope. I should have sent him to Cuihonglou first."

"Yes, Ah Shan, I never expected this, I really never expected this."

He glared disdainfully at the group of people before walking over to the other gambling tables to examine them.

This is probably the only casino in the entire Changfeng County, so there are quite a few gamblers here.

"Hehe, Ah Shan is embarrassed now. He didn't expect her to still be a virgin!"

"Haha, do you guys want to teach him a lesson?"

"Get lost! Do you think Ah Shan is like you?"

Dog Brother couldn't help but laugh, clearly not expecting Zhang Tianhao's expression to lead him to misunderstand something.

Having been around the streets for so long, he knew what was going on in Huangshan before, but now it seems there's more to the story.

"Alright, everyone, let's all keep quiet. Ah Shan's face is turning red!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter. After all, that was all they could do for now, and they stopped talking.

Zhang Tianhao didn't say much. Watching the others brag, he simply took out a chip, put it on the table, and casually tossed it there, starting to gamble.

Although it was only an occasional act, the dealer still noticed.

"Hey Shan, why don't you gamble a few rounds now and then? You're not going to lose all your money again, are you?"

"No, look, I still have a few left. I just play around with a few when I have nothing to do. If someone tips me, I'll play; if no one tips me, I'll just forget about it. I'm not going to exchange them for chips."

He smiled, greeted him, and said a few casual words.

One afternoon, although he didn't make many moves, seeing that he had dozens more chips in his hand, he couldn't help but smile.

But no one noticed how much he had won; not even the dealer on the side noticed that he had won again.

Time passed little by little, and he watched as the sky outside grew darker and darker, while the atmosphere here became more and more lively, as if there were even more people at night.

Even when he finally wanted to go and place a bet, he could barely squeeze in.

He was also somewhat helpless.

Looking at the room full of people, he couldn't help but walk out of the casino, go to the door, take out a cigarette, and slowly smoke it.

"Hey, Shan-ge, what are you doing standing outside all by yourself? Why don't you come in and have some fun?"

"I stayed there for a while and felt uncomfortable, so I came outside for some fresh air."

"So this is ah!"

"By the way, Brother Shan, how much did you win this afternoon?"

"I won a dollar!"

As he spoke, he picked up all the chips, placed them in his hand, and showed them to the other person.

"No way, I saw you played quite a few rounds and only won one dollar?"

"You think I don't want to win? Damn it, I might win a few small hands, but then I win the last big one and give it all back. How am I supposed to win like that? Besides, I'm just playing around."

"These are all tips from other people, why would I need so many!"

"Oh, I see!"

The two stood at the door and started smoking, and Zhang Tianhao's face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Brother Shan, have you heard? Something happened at the warehouse, and they still haven't found out what happened!"

"I've heard about it too, but do you know who did it?"

"Who knows? We don't know either. I heard the warehouse was emptied and then burned down. I guess the losses this time are pretty big."

"It is quite large, after all, it is a warehouse."

"We're doing alright here, but it's a real problem at the opium dens. It seems like the opium is almost gone. It used to cost two silver dollars to smoke once, but now it's five. They're even worse over there; they've doubled the price."

"You can't touch that stuff. If you do, even selling your whole family wouldn't be enough."

"By the way, you can't talk about this carelessly. I heard that the president seems to be in trouble. I wonder how he is."

"This is none of our business. No matter how they try to undermine me, we should just focus on living our own lives."

"Ok!"

The two chatted outside for a while, then went back into the casino and got busy again.

However, when Zhang Tianhao saw that he had more than thirty silver dollars and more than two hundred dollars in his pocket, he couldn't help but smile.

After all, such ill-gotten gains, given enough time, will eventually become his. (End of Chapter)
