The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Old Cui, the Ghost Hand, held his hand above the dice cup, cold sweat dripping from his forehead down his nose to his chin.

He had lifted the lid of the dice cup countless times in his life, but he had never felt that the dice cup was so heavy that his fingers were creaking.

Thirteen Sister was still sitting on the armchair opposite with her legs crossed, her white thighs exposed by the slit in her green dress.

She didn't urge him or move; she just stared intently at Shen Yifei, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Shen Yifei's elaborate scheme was nothing but child's play to her.

Shen Yifei set up a losing situation, thinking it would make her change her mind, but she refused to!

Shen Yifei crossed his arms, looking completely at ease.

The dice cup is opened.

The numbers on the three dice are clearly visible.

one two three.

A total of six points.

Small!!

Shen Yifei guessed big, but he... guessed wrong!

Old Cui with Ghost Hands widened his eyes, couldn't catch his breath, and fell straight backward!

His head slammed onto the bluestone floor with a dull thud, and he stood there motionless, his legs twitching twice.

The hall of the gambling den was deathly silent, with Thirteen Sister's eyes fixed on the three dice.

She glanced at Shen Yifei again.

Shen Yifei was whispering something to Liu Mengli, and Liu Mengli was amused and laughed out loud.

Thirteen Sister took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

She'd gambled countless times in her life, but this was the first time she'd ever been so thoroughly humiliated and manipulated like this.

She then realized that Shen Yifei's final all-in bet was a trap set for her. From the moment she showed herself, she had already fallen into this kid's snare.

"What a brilliant plan." Thirteen Sister clapped her hands dryly twice. "Young Master Niu, you played this game beautifully. You even calculated exactly when I would come downstairs and what I would do."

Shen Yifei waved his hand, "Thirteenth Sister, you flatter me. I didn't have such deep calculations, I just predicted one thing."

"What is it?"

"You have too much confidence in yourself."

After a long silence, Thirteen Sister said, "I'll give you Su Huan's life essence! Men, carry Old Cui out!"

Two guards entered through the hall door and carried Old Cui, nicknamed "Ghost Hand," out. Then they closed the hall door.

The hall returned to silence.

Thirteen Sister took out a jade bottle from her bosom. "Young Master Niu, you shouldn't have the surname Niu, right? May I ask your real name?"

"Shen Yifei!" Shen Yifei answered readily.

Su Huan glanced at him, her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything. This was not the time for her to speak; the jade bottle contained her life essence!

"Yes, this is Su Huan's life essence, and now it belongs to you."

After saying that, Thirteen Sister pushed the jade bottle towards Shen Yifei. Shen Yifei, however, pushed it directly to Su Huan without the slightest hesitation.

If you obtain the life essence of a ghost, you can make that ghost obey you and do whatever you ask it to do.

Clearly, Shen Yifei had absolutely no such thoughts.

Su Huan held the jade bottle, her eyes reddening.

She hadn't cried when her soul, which had been imprisoned for three hundred years, was taken back by a man she had only known for less than an hour. Now, however, her nose felt a little sore.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Niu... no... Young Master Shen. I will remember this kindness."

Shen Yifei chuckled, "We agreed on this beforehand, it's just a small favor!"

Thirteen Sister watched coldly as the two finished their exchange, then asked, "Young Master Shen, you said you wanted to play for even bigger stakes. What are you planning to bet on?"

Shen Yifei stared at Thirteen Niang's face, and suddenly became interested in the other half of her face. Her face was covered, and it was either absolutely beautiful or had a yin-yang appearance.

This reminded him of Feng Qingyin; after he treated her for a few nights, her face returned to normal.

If Thirteen's face is like that too, I wouldn't mind treating her. The price, of course, would be the Reincarnation Decree, thus gaining both the person and the money.

Shen Yifei made up his mind. "Thirteenth Sister, if we're going to play, let's do something exciting. Are you up for it?"

"Young Master Shen likes excitement? Tell me, how would you like to play?"

"Exciting, isn't it..." Shen Yifei grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Thirteenth Sister, the gambling den you run is all about Yin Life Crystals and Life Souls. That's too cliché. Let's try something new."

"Oh, what's this new way to play?" Thirteen Sister immediately became interested.

Shen Yifei wasn't in a hurry and said slowly, "It's nothing special. I don't have many other hobbies, I just like watching pretty women take off their clothes."

Thirteen Sister was stunned for a moment after hearing this, her tone tinged with anger, "Young Master Shen, are you trying to take advantage of me? Take off your clothes? What's so valuable about your body?"

Liu Mengli immediately objected, "His body... well, it's got a lot to offer. What do you have to offer when it comes to taking off your clothes?"

Thirteen Sister's face turned red with anger at Liu Mengli's blunt remark.

"Thirteenth Sister, you're a ghost now, why would you care about those few bits of stuff on your body? Do you dare or not?" Shen Yifei continued to stir things up!

"Alright! I'll do as you say! But I have a few conditions..."

"What other conditions do you have? Speak..." With Liu Mengli as his support, Shen Yifei was willing to gamble openly. As long as Thirteen Niang agreed to the bet, he didn't care about any other conditions!

Su Huan transmitted her voice, "Young Master Shen, be careful, she's going to use the same methods she used against the King of the Underworld against you!"

"It's alright, I want to see how Hades loses today. At worst, I'll lose everything and strip naked in front of her!"

Su Huan has been in the world of romance for three hundred years, leaving Shen Yifei speechless.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly gentle and refined person has a skin thicker than cowhide.

Thirteen Lady coughed lightly, "My first condition is that you can't just take off your clothes..."

"Hmm..." Shen Yifei straightened his back. "Is there anything else you need me to do? Hehe, I'm happy to oblige!"

Liu Mengli secretly pinched him and whispered, "Even if you have all the skills, don't go flirting with her now. Don't you remember what that little bastard told you?"

"Mengli, what do you know? I just threw her into a panic first."

Thirteen Lady remained unmoved by his words, "After you lose everything, you'll also gain your life force!"

"Sure!" Shen Yifei agreed readily!

"Very well, Young Master Shen, you're very generous! My second condition..."

"Is there a second condition?"

"What? Is it not allowed?"

Shen Yifei just wanted to strip Thirteen Niang naked as soon as possible. Of course, there was one more thing he had to win. He always felt that there was some secret hidden under this mask!

"Alright, Thirteenth Sister, stop dawdling and tell me your conditions as soon as possible!"

"The second condition is that the two people beside you, young master, please move upstairs."

Thirteen Sister now held a round fan embroidered with a skull, its surface opening and closing to obscure half of her mouth. "The rule in my gambling den is that we only gamble with one person at a time. You brought two helpers; are you planning a tag-team battle or a group beating?"

Shen Yifei turned his head and glanced at Liu Mengli.

Liu Mengli blinked and transmitted her voice, "Master, this woman is afraid of me. It's alright, I can still see her even if I go upstairs."

Shen Yifei tugged at her hand and looked at Xiang Shisan Niang: "Alright, I'm a man of principle. Miss Su, you two go upstairs for a cup of tea, and come down to see Shisan Niang with her bare bottom exposed!"
