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

Thirteen's voice carried three parts defiance and seven parts confidence.

Shen Yifei thought to himself, "No matter how many tricks you have, you can't escape my open-ended bet with you!"

However, since I've become the dealer, the initiative is in Thirteen Sister's hands. What if she guesses right...?

No, I have to be prejudiced from the start!

Shen Yifei took the dice cup in his hand and began to shake it.

"Thirteenth Sister, I love going all out, and... there are advantages to going all out..."

Thirteen knew he was playing psychological tactics again. Looking at his dice-rolling technique, he was worse than a beginner, just randomly shaking the dice.

"Young Master Shen, since you like big, then I'll guess big. I also want to see if you can roll big!"

"Thirteenth Sister, you've made me grow up, so I'll show you!"

Shen Yifei continued swaying as he spoke. He was waiting for Jinbao to give him orders!

However, Jinbao remained silent.

"My little darling, this time I want something big. When do you want me to release it? Give me a straight answer."

Jinbao still didn't respond.

Thirteen Sister leaned back in her chair, watching him sway back and forth, and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master Shen, are you done swaying?"

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Shen Yifei gave a perfunctory reply, but in his mind he was communicating with Jinbao.

"Little darling, are you asleep?"

"Try channeling some of the Five Elements magic into it and see if you can wake up the Earth Spirit. I have a feeling this guy has sealed himself away!"

Shen Yifei thought to himself, "That's right! The essence of the five elements is from the same source. The essence of earth and the essence of metal are the original things of the beginning of heaven and earth. Isn't the power of the five elements in my body a natural key?"

While pretending to shake the dice cup in his hand, he silently channeled a wisp of pure Five Elements power into the dice cup.

The moment the wisp of Five Elements power touched the inner wall of the dice cup, Shen Yifei felt an extremely faint response, and the surface of the dice cup flickered.

"There's hope!" Shen Yifei was overjoyed and increased the flow of the Five Elements power.

Jinbao shouted in his mind, "Give it your all! That idiot Earth Spirit is awake, but he's still pretending to be asleep. He's testing you!"

Shen Yifei condensed that wisp of the Five Elements power into a single line and sent it straight into the depths of the dice cup.

Suddenly, a very faint "humming" sound came from inside the dice cup.

Shen Yifei felt a sudden warmth in his palm, and the dice cup seemed to connect him to it through blood.

"The earth spirit has awakened." Jinbao's voice carried a hint of joy. "I've already spoken to it. It said that this woman refined its essence and sealed it in this broken vessel, using it as a gambling tool for who knows how many years. If you can take it away, it's willing to listen to you."

Shen Yifei was overjoyed inside, but kept a straight face, still shaking the dice cup with a grin, muttering, "Big...big...big..."

Thirteen Sister leaned back in her chair, watching Shen Yifei's amateurish dice-rolling technique, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.

Although she had refined the earth spirit in the dice cup, she had not completely tamed it; she had merely sealed it within the cup using a secret technique.

It didn't work in the first few rounds; in Shen Yifei's words, this was called "feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap."

This is the game she's been waiting for, the game that will decide the outcome!

Others thought she relied purely on her gambling skills, but her real trump card was this special dice cup!

She could manipulate the earth spirits at any time by shaking the dice, using secret techniques to change the dice into the numbers she desired. This was the real reason for her invincible record; even Hades fell into her trap because he couldn't see through this secret.

However, she didn't know that this thing was an earth spirit; she only regarded it as a rare and precious material that she had refined.

After playing so many rounds, she concluded that without that woman's help, this kid wasn't very capable; he relied entirely on incredible luck.

Without that woman's help, Shen Yifei would be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in her presence.

If we win this last round, we can get back everything we lost before. Not only that, we can also stake this kid's entire life in the gambling den, and from now on... humph! We'll make him wish he were dead.

Thirteen Sister sneered inwardly.

She patiently watched Shen Yifei shake the dice cup haphazardly, waiting for him to say the word "finally."

As soon as the dice cup is placed on the table, she secretly activates a secret technique to change the dice rolls to whatever she desires.

Shen Yifei shouted "Big" for a while, then suddenly slammed the dice cup down on the table with a "bang".

"Thirteenth Sister, guess!" He smiled and reached out, pressing down on the lid of the bowl, making a gesture as if he was about to lift it but couldn't.

Thirteen Lady glanced at him, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Young Master Shen, you kept mentioning 'big,' so I'll guess... big. You want me to guess big, then I'll guess big. Just like you, I like big!"

Shen Yifei chuckled, "Thirteenth Sister, you guessed big, no changes?"

"I'm not changing it!"

Shen Yifei laughed heartily, "Thirteenth Sister, now it's your turn to strip!"

With the help of the earth spirit, he rolled three nines. No matter whether Thirteen Lady guessed big or small, she would lose!

After saying that, he was about to lift the dice cup!

Just then, Jinbao's voice shouted, "Wait! That woman's playing tricks! She changed the dice!"

Shen Yifei suddenly stopped, pressing down on the lid of the bowl without opening it.

He cursed inwardly. This woman really did have a backup plan! No wonder she was so confident of winning; it turned out that besides her gambling skills, she could also control the numbers inside the dice cup!

"Thirteen Sister, do you know what number I rolled?"

"I know, with your technique, I could grab any gambler out there and they'd recognize it!"

Shen Yifei is stalling for time. Once the score is set, he's guaranteed to lose! Three nines—changing even one point would be a huge loss!

"So that means I'm definitely going to lose this round?"

"Anything is possible before the potion is opened, Young Master Shen, please open it!"

"Open it, of course I'll open it! You'll be surprised when it comes out!"

Shen Yifei pressed down on the lid of the cup. "Jinbao, tell the earth spirit to change the dice back to one, two, three. I'm going to scare this woman to death!"

"I was just saying! The earth spirit said that this woman's power can only be activated once, and it will immediately revert back. But... you need to stall her for a bit; the earth spirit has been sealed for too long, and its reaction is a little slow!"

Shen Yifei made a hesitant gesture, but Thirteen Sister didn't urge him; she just watched coldly.

"Thirteenth Sister," Shen Yifei suddenly lowered his voice, his expression becoming extremely serious, "before this round begins, I want to ask you a question."

Thirteen Sister raised an eyebrow: "What's the problem?"

"What secrets are hidden beneath that mask?"

"What... Wait until I lose, then you can take it off for me, and you'll know what the secret is. Young Master Shen, since there's nothing fancy, just open it! After you're done, we can go do whatever we need to do!"

"Alright, then I won't ask any more questions." Shen Yifei's serious expression turned into a mischievous grin. "Thirteenth Sister, are you ready?"

"Ready?" Thirteen Sister sat steadily in the chair. "Let's go."

Shen Yifei used his fingers forcefully to suddenly lift the lid of the bowl.

The moment the dice cup was lifted, the smile on Thirteen Sister's face froze.

Three dice, one, two, three.

Six o'clock, small!
