A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1161

How could he be comparable with her uncle?

An illusion… it must be an illusion.

Xia Yingluo forced herself to calm down. She raised her head and steadily met his eyes.

The young man’s beautifully shaped thin lips curled slightly upwards, as if pulling a laughing arc, but it looked even more chilly and cold in her eyes. He turned his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Yixuan on the side. “I’ll bet with you.”

The cold and magnetic voice made Zhao Yixuan swallow his saliva.

This man eluded a scary feeling that made people’s scalp numb, and it wasn’t only Xia Yingluo that felt that.

Zhao Yixuan did not dare to refuse him and stuttered. “Okay… Okay.”

Xia Yingluo said, “It’s not okay!” She reached out and pointed to the middle-aged man who was full of fat. “Zhao Yixuan, you have promised to gamble with this person. You can’t go back on your words!” Although she didn’t know what the mysterious man in the dark did, his parents and brothers had warned her before that it was best to avoid unpredictable things. Obviously, when they got to the hotel room, it would be much easier to deal with the middle-aged big-bellied man than with the dangerous unfathomable man.

The man sitting in the dark laughed again, or it was more a kind of arc similar to laughter, but the feeling it gave others was scarier than when he didn’t laugh. He stared at Xia Yingluo as though he were calculating something interesting.

All of Xia Yingluo’s body hair stood. She put on a bold face and said, “Sir, you have to follow the order of arrival.”

“Oh? Order of arrival?” He didn’t say much, but his voice was still like a breeze blowing through the snowy ice plain.

Xia Yingluo had yet to speak when the middle-aged man on the side couldn’t stand it anymore. He wiped the oily sweat on his head and said, “I’m not gambling, I’m not gambling! This gentleman, do as you wish, do as you wish.” While talking, he laughed, gathered his chips and retreated into the crowd. What a joke. Even though he was facing a beauty, he still wanted his life. The man was obviously a sly character, and he didn’t want to offend him.

The voice of the man was light and breezy. “Who else wants to gamble?”

His line of sight swept past all the surrounding gamblers, and everyone who met his eyes took a few unconscious steps back and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes. The dangerous atmosphere he exuded was too strong, so strong that everyone felt in danger and didn’t dare to speak.

The man was satisfied. Then, he looked at Xia Yingluo. “Now you can only gamble with me.”

“You are despicable!” Xia Yingluo was angry. Who was this, he really thought she was easy to bully?

“Fine!” Anyway, she was already in such a state and would lose out either way, so she might as well bet with him. Who knows, there might even be a way out. She arrogantly lifted her chin, her delicate little face full of provocation. “Do you want me? Then let’s see if you have the ability! I’ll gamble with you personally, do you dare?”

Her gambling skills had been passed down from generation to generation.

One year she had been dragged out by her second brother Li Rui, and the two had gambled around the world’s big and small casinos. Every family had begged them to leave in tears as if sending off Bodhisattva and had begged them not to stay there sucking their wealth dry.

Recalling the past, her heart was a little more emboldened, and her eyes lit up brighter.

The man said, “You? Sure.”

He didn’t seem to care much about who he was betting with. He had a slender hand on the expensive sofa chair and a hand playing with something. At this time, he opened his hand and everyone could see clearly what was inside: a chip. “I’ll gamble with you with this. If you win, it’s yours.” He said casually, “But you’re not worth all that money, let the two people bet their chips too.”

The chips in his hand were all black, like a starry sky, speckled with a little bit of gold.

A person who knew the goods exclaimed, “Supreme Black Gold! This is the Supreme Black Gold chip!”

The chips in the casino were divided into several categories, and the most upscale was the Supreme Black Gold. It was said that there were only three in the whole casino. Not to mention owning them, even those who were qualified to see it were few.

Many people had been betting here for several years and had never even seen it once.

The Supreme Black Gold chip had a demon-like luster in the hands of the mysterious man, and looked fascinating under the lights. The man played with it as if playing with an inconspicuous marble. He said to the two people behind Xia Yingluo, “One billion, are you betting or not?”

Zhao Yixuan’s eyes were blank. He didn’t expect such a good thing to happen to him.

The sum of his and Pei Yan’s chips amounted to only a few tens of thousands. If they won, they could earn a huge profit!

Pei Yan also had the same thought. This was equivalent to earning from nothing, and they would be stupid not to do it! Furthermore, Xia Yingluo wouldn’t dare lose on purpose. If they lost, they would only lose money, but she would lose her own body.

The two looked at each other and Zhou Yixuan said, “Okay, I’ll bet!”

He turned his head and warned Xia Yingluo fiercely. “Bet well. If you lose, who knows if he’ll cut you up and sell your organs, or ship you off to some dark place! You can’t play tricks!” Worried that Xia Yingluo would deliberately lose and afraid that her losing her body wasn’t enough to scare her, he decided to scare her first.

Xia Yingluo sneered. For a moment, she really wanted to deliberately lose, so that she could see the tearful expressions on Zhou Yixuan’s and Pei Yan’s faces. However, were they worthy? She was the only big lady of the Li family. Her little finger was more expensive than the two of their lives, and she didn’t want to doom herself out of anger towards them.

Ignoring the two of them, she looked directly into the eyes of the mysterious man. “What are we playing?”

The man said, “You choose.”

It was a confident expression.

Xia Yingluo felt determined inside. She must win him and let him pay for his own arrogance and shamelessness! “Then we’ll play big or small, it’s the easiest.” She had a sly smile on her face and decided to play her signature game.

The man had no opinion. Sitting in the shadow of the dark light, he made a “please” gesture to her.

The gamblers around had long since made space, and the gambling table had been cleaned up by the dealers, leaving only one bowl and three dices.

Xia Yingluo put the dice in her palms and turned it around. No problem, she casually threw it into the bowl and it spun. Her technique was adept, like moving clouds and flowing water, making it delightful to people’s eyes, and they watched as her white delicate hand danced elegantly like a butterfly under the lights.

Many gamblers revealed surprised expressions. They couldn’t tell that this girl was actually a master?

Xia Yingluo did not look into her bowl from beginning to end. She looking straight at the man, showing a cold and provocative smile. Shaking the dice was a game she had played since young, and she was more than familiar with it. Even with her eyes closed, she could shake out three sixes.
