Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Mei Hua Yao Yao glanced at the gambling table and shouted, "Hu Ba Zi, bring two more sets of dice cups and two more sets of dice!"

Hu Bazi hurriedly ordered his men to bring over two brand-new dice cups and dice. The cups were painted red and gilded, and the dice were ivory white. They looked very exquisite.

The two sets of items were placed side by side in the center of the gambling table, shimmering with a fluorescent light.

Mei Hua Yao Yao slightly raised her chin, pointed her fingertip at the two sets of dice cups, and glanced sideways at Xie Xiao Yi: "Choose one set. The rest is mine."

Xie Xiaoyi glanced at it, reached out and grabbed the set closest to him, then raised an eyebrow:

"So, how do you want to bet this time? Same as before, higher points?"

Mei Hua Yao Yao secretly thought—

He just used his internal energy to shatter the dice and get a total of 21, while I had no way to do anything about it.

this time......

Then bet on small!

The younger the better, let's see how he tries to act like a scoundrel then.

He then smashes the dice; the number of shattered dice determines his score, and the more shattered dice, the higher his score, guaranteeing him a loss.

"Simple, not big, but small! Three dice, the one with the lowest sum wins. Same rules as always, one round to decide the winner, dare to take the challenge?"

Xie Xiaoyi raised an eyebrow and smiled.

That slender waist must have learned its lesson from last time and wants to turn the tables on her.

It's just a pity that her cultivation level is only at the second rank, and she still doesn't understand the world above the fifth rank.

"I'll bet small, I'm all in. But if I roll the lowest number this time, you won't renege on your bet, will you?"

"Hmph! I'd accept it even if you smashed the dice to pieces, but this time we're playing a game of 'low'."

A hint of smugness flashed in Mei Hua Yao Yao's eyes. She raised her jade hand, grasped the dice cup, and gently turned it around with her fingers along the rim. The dice cup spun around in her palm.

"Clatter-clatter-clatter," the dice cup spun, creating a series of soft, rustling sounds.

Gao Lie smiled slightly, thinking to himself—

It seems that Plum Blossom is serious now, and that kid is bound to lose.

At the Paramount Ballroom, apart from Master Gambling Immortal Ko Chun, no one can beat Yao Yao at rolling dice.

This kid's definitely going to be a dog!

Next, all I need to do is plead for him and bring him under my command. That would be far better than those two guards on either side.

At this moment, the player with the number 10 on the board suddenly exerted force with his wrist, tossing the dice cup high into the air, catching it, and then sharply slamming his wrist down!

"Snapped!"

The dice cup was placed firmly on the gambling table, the force applied perfectly, without the slightest wobbling.

The entire venue was completely silent; the air seemed to have frozen.

With a confident smile on her red lips, Mei Huayao slowly lifted the dice cup with her slender, jade-like fingers.

Everyone stared intently—

Three ivory-white dice were neatly stacked into a pillar, with the top die, a red dot facing the sky.

"Three stacked together counts as one!" Hubazi's voice rang out, filled with barely concealed excitement.

The surrounding gamblers also joined in the commotion, creating a noisy scene.

"It's over, there's no way to compete anymore. A draw means the bookmaker wins, we're definitely going to lose."

"Exactly! Even if the Eight-Digit Roll is incredibly powerful, you still lose if you only roll a single point!"

Mei Hua Yao Yao raised her chin even higher, her peach blossom eyes full of mockery: "It doesn't matter, if he can shake it out even a little, I'll consider him the winner."

The guards behind Gao Lie all gave him a thumbs up.

"Sister Yaoyao is so cool, she really brings honor to Qianjin Pavilion."

"That's right, our little sister's three-fold technique isn't something you can just learn casually."

Xie Xiaoyi ignored them, slowly picked up the dice cup, and with a casual flick of his wrist, three ivory dice rolled into it.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and turned the dice cup upside down on the gambling table. He then gently pressed the top of the cup with his two slender fingers, the force of which looked so light that it was as if he had just supported it.

Mei Hua Yao Yao grew impatient and scolded:

"What are you dawdling for? If you're going to shake it, just shake it already! Stop playing tricks!"

Xie Xiaoyi whistled softly, his voice lazy: "What's the rush? I've already finished shaking!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"What? One press and you're done shaking?"

"Is this 'Great Hero' scared out of his wits? Playing like this, he's doomed to be a dog for sure!"

Gao Lie frowned, his eyes full of doubt. He had never seen anything like this in his life.

Mei Hua Yaoyao laughed in anger, took a step forward, and was about to overturn the dice cup: "I think you're trying to renege on your debt—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Xiaoyi raised his hand to stop her, tapping the top of the bowl with his fingertip: "Don't rush, watch carefully."

As he spoke, he slowly moved the dice cup away.

Everyone stared intently, and gasped in shock—there were no dice left on the gambling table.

There was only a small clump of fine white powder, not even a trace of the dice's outline, let alone any number.

Mei Hua Yao Yao's chest heaved violently, and she stood frozen in place.

With a wave of his sleeve, Xie Xiaoyi sent out a gust of wind that scattered the white powder in all directions, leaving no trace.

"There's nothing here, does that count as zero points? According to the rules, don't I win?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the gambling table.

"We just agreed that if you lost, you were at my mercy. Now, does that mean you have to do whatever I tell you to do?"

Mei Hua Yao Yao was stunned for a moment, then her gaze suddenly swept towards Gao Lie standing to the side—

His eyes held a mixture of pleading and resentment, as if questioning: Didn't you just think I was going to win? What do you say now?

Gao Lie's heart skipped a beat when she stared at him. He quickly turned his face away, his gaze drifting to the corner of the gambling table. His lips twitched, but he remained silent.

Just now, Mei Hua Yao Yao herself patted her chest and said, "Even if you shake the dice to pieces, I'll accept it."

Now that people have turned the dice into dust and even created a "zero point," what can he do?

We can't just break the contract in front of a bunch of gamblers and get Qianjin Pavilion a reputation for being untrustworthy.

All the gamblers' eyes were fixed on Plum Blossom, waiting to see how she would handle the situation.

Mei Hua Yao Yao bit her red lips, her voice tinged with resentment, but she ultimately didn't renege on her promise:

"You win! I admit defeat—now, what do you want me to do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a figure flash before her eyes, her wrist suddenly tightened, and she was pulled into an embrace by a force.

Mei Hua Yao Yao cried out in surprise. Just as she was about to struggle, Xie Xiao Yi grabbed her with both arms and made her unable to move.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Dry!"

Xie Xiaoyi stomped his foot, channeling his inner energy into the soles of his feet, and his body suddenly rose into the air.

Using the heads of the surrounding gamblers as leverage, he kicked one head at a time, flying through the air.

Mei Hua Yao Yao was both angry and anxious. She grabbed his collar and hissed, "If you have something to say, say it! Put me down!"

Xie Xiaoyi chuckled, his breath brushing against her ear, his tone both roguish and alluring: "That's exactly the kind of arrogant temper you're playing. Since you've lost, you naturally have to listen to me."

Without stopping, the two were already standing in front of the gambling den in the blink of an eye.

Xie Xiaoyi, still clutching Mei Hua Yaoyao, turned and shouted loudly to Gao Lie, who was staring in disbelief inside the door:

"Boss Gao, I'll borrow your Plum Blossom 100 for an hour or two, and return it intact afterwards!"

Return it intact?

All the gamblers grinned, their understanding unspoken—

There's still a chance of it being returned intact?

Who would believe that!
