Even the courtesans—who were entertaining the handsome, young men—stopped their bantering and stared straight at the area not far away.

A youngster in a white shirt walked over slowly. His eyebrows were long, his eyes looked like stars, and his skin was as white and delicate as porcelain. When the sun shone on his high nose, one could not find any flaw with it.

The youngster was not very tall, but his figure was defined and obviously had a child-like weakness. When his cold eyes swept past the crowd, it gave people an icy feeling and sent chills down their spines.

Upon seeing the youngster, everyone was charmed by him. They were obviously under the scorching sun, but when they looked at him, it was as though they saw pure, white snow as he was breathtaking and charming.

The man nearest to the youngster could not help it but swallow his saliva and muttered in a daze. “Which family is this Young Master from? Why are you so… so…?” Breathtaking!

Even he—who clearly only liked gentle women—had his breath taken away by him, and he wanted to just rush over and cuddle with him in public.

Just that, when he took two steps forward and wanted to touch the youngster’s white cheeks, he suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body. His entire person flew out, and he fell on the floor with a loud thump.

The youngster’s cold gaze swept across the crowd as he slowly opened his mouth to ask, “Is this Long Happiness Lane Gambling Den?”

This charming youngster was He Xi, who disguised herself as a male.

She was afraid Nalan Hexi’s look would be recognized and felt that a female disguise would be troublesome so she used her superb disguising skills to create a new look for herself.

In everyone’s eyes, the current her—other than her body being a little skinny and small—had no difference from other fifteen- and sixteen-year-old youngsters; even doctors who took her pulse might not be able to tell the difference.

Just that she did not expect Nalan Hexi’s natural, beautiful look would attract so many people’s attention even in a male disguise.

However, if one wanted to take advantage of He Xi, he had to judge his own capabilities first!

After receiving a confirmatory response, He Xi ignored the surrounding spectators and walked towards the noisy gambling den quickly.

As expected, Zhang Dezhong was leaning against a table and shouting at the top of his lungs until his face was red.

“I don’t believe I won’t win this round!” Harshly, he slammed his gambling chips on the table. “This round, I’m betting on small again. Big had appeared for the past six rounds, I don’t believe the next round will still be Big. Hurry up and open it!”

There was a flash in the eyes of the pageboy shaking the dice in the gambling den, revealing his cunning intentions.

There was a pang in He Xi’s heart, and a cold smile appeared on her face. It seemed like this Zhang Dezhong did not know that he was being conned.

As expected, when the die was revealed, it still showed Big.

Furious, Zhang Dezhong smashed the table and yelled, “F*CK! Why am I so unlucky today? Give me another hundred chips!”

The pageboy of the gambling den gave a despising look and sneered, “Manager Zhang, you’ve already owed the gambling den one thousand Yuan Jing. If you carry on gambling, would you be able to pay up?”

“What are you saying?!” Zhang Dezhong rushed over and grabbed the pageboy by his collar and hollered, “Do you know who I am? I have lots of Yuan Jing now. Don’t have your nose stuck in the air and look down on me… aiyo!”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone kicked him harshly. Following which, punches and kicks landed on him mercilessly like raindrops.
