519: Elegant morning breeze

“What a slut! She dared to kiss me today, so if she doesn’t have a child later, won’t she dare to sleep with me?”

Watching Lin Qingyue’s retreating figure, Su Xuan smiled wickedly. It wouldn’t be long before he took Lin Qingyue.

“Next, it’s time to see what that guy Feng Chen is up to! Hehehe!”

Su Xuan wore a mischievous grin.

At this moment, Feng Chen was dominating the gambling den. His luck seemed good today; he had managed to win quite a bit with the small amount of silver he had left from yesterday.

Feng Chen sat calmly at the gambling table, a small stack of heavy silver piled before him. His expression was serene as he toyed with three dice, his gaze sweeping over the betting areas on the table with an almost certain composure.

His luck today was extraordinarily good. No matter what he bet on, he won on the first try, as if the God of Gamblers had possessed him.

“Isn’t that kid Feng Chen? How is his luck so good today? He must have won hundreds of taels of silver!”

“I’m so envious! When will I ever have such luck? To earn so much just by throwing a few dice!”

“Little Brother Feng, your luck is too divine! How about you give me some pointers later? If I win, I’ll give you thirty percent!”

Someone even squeezed directly next to Feng Chen and said fawningly.

“There’s no trick to this gambling den! It’s just good luck, you make it sound like I’m cheating!”

Feng Chen was a bit carried away.

Seeing this, the man didn’t say much more, only looking at Feng Chen with envious eyes.

Feng Chen enjoyed the surrounding gazes, feeling as if he had returned to a few years ago.

He recalled that when he was still the eldest young master of the Feng family, he was also highly sought after when he came to this gambling den.

But later, when he gambled all his money away, he naturally couldn’t enjoy those past days anymore.

Now, Feng Chen’s state seemed to have returned to his spirited appearance of a few years ago.

Feng Chen couldn’t help but take out a mirror and look at himself.

“How much do I resemble my former self?”

Feng Chen looked at his somewhat haggard face and couldn’t help but sigh.

Immediately after, to the astonished gazes of everyone, Feng Chen directly bet on three sixes!

“Holy cow! He dares to bet on a triple! Is Feng Chen crazy? Something with such a low probability…”

“Is he going for broke? If this triple hits, he’ll get paid one hundred and fifty times!”

“Yes! If it hits, Feng Chen will earn tens of thousands of taels of silver today. That’s not a small sum!”

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, among ordinary people like them, was definitely a considerable fortune, even enough to be considered wealthy.

At least, in Qingfeng Town, one could buy several large estates, and with a small business, they would basically never run out of money in their lifetime.

But could Feng Chen really do it?

Gasps of surprise rose and fell around them, everyone’s eyes fixated on the area where Feng Chen placed his bet. Even the dealer responsible for shaking the dice in the gambling den couldn’t help but frown, tightening his grip on the dice cup.

“Little Brother Feng is… playing this big?”

The man who had just approached swallowed, his eyes filled with both tension and anticipation.

“If this works out, Qingfeng Town will probably have a new wealthy household!”

The dealer’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He suddenly twisted his wrist, and the dice cup clattered rapidly on the table. The three dice tumbled wildly inside, as if trying to break free.

Everyone around held their breath. Even the clamor in the corner of the gambling den seemed to be swallowed by this moment of silence, leaving only the crisp sound of the dice cup spinning, tapping on everyone’s hearts.

Feng Chen’s fingertips rested on the table, his gaze fixed intently on the slowing dice cup. His earlier airiness had long faded, leaving only a near-desperate focus.

“Open!” The dealer shouted, abruptly lifting the dice cup.

Three pristine white dice lay quietly at the bottom of the cup, six vibrant red dots facing upwards, perfectly aligned, no more, no less.

It was indeed three sixes!

“Whoosh—!”

The deadly silence lasted only an instant before a deafening gasp erupted in the gambling den.

The man who had just been discussing it leaped up, his wine bowl clattering to the ground unnoticed.

“It hit! It really hit! A triple! Three sixes!”

People swarmed forward, clinging to the gambling table and craning their necks, their eyes wide with disbelief written all over their faces.

“Oh, heavens! A triple can actually hit? He must be the God of Gamblers descended to earth!”

“Tens of thousands of taels… just like that, Feng Chen has reached the heavens in one step!”

Some rubbed their hands excitedly, some rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they had seen wrong, and others stared intently at the three dice, as if trying to find some secret in them.

Even the usually expressionless dealer’s face changed, his hand trembling slightly. He looked back and signaled into the depths of the gambling den; such a large sum was clearly beyond his authority.

Feng Chen himself was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the table and threw his head back, laughing loudly.

His laughter carried a long-suppressed exhilaration, and a touch of the arrogance of something regained.

“Hahahahaha! I won! I freaking won! I really freaking won!”

Feng Chen burst into laughter.

The spirited demeanor of a few years ago now seemed to truly return to him with this triple.

At this moment, he was no longer that useless Feng Chen, but the eldest young master of the Feng family!

Some flirtatious women even linked their arms with Feng Chen, acting coyly.

“Brother Feng Chen, you’ve earned so much money today, how do you plan to spend it!”

“Yes, yes, Brother Feng Chen, since you’ve earned so much money today, can you give me some? As long as you give me some, you can do whatever you want tonight…”

Facing the seduction of these flirtatious women, Feng Chen couldn’t help but swallow.

His wife was already pregnant, so even if he wanted to do something, he couldn’t.

Now that a few flirtatious women were clinging to him, why not take the initiative and indulge tonight?

“Alright, alright, alright! This money is all for you!”

Feng Chen was also very generous, throwing hundreds of taels of silver into the pile of women.

Seeing silver falling from the sky, the women immediately scrambled for it, tearing their clothes. The sight of their fair skin and the gleaming silver was overwhelming.

“Damn it! You bitch! This silver was given to me by Brother Feng Chen, how dare you take it?”

“Go to hell, this was clearly given to me by Brother Feng Chen! When did it become yours?”

The women started fighting, while Feng Chen watched everything with a smile.

He remembered that when he was the eldest young master of the Feng family, he used to love doing this; it was called throwing money around!

Now, after so many years, he felt like he was back to how things used to be!
