"A young lady from which family?"

Many were intrigued to hear about a pretty girl. They quit their games and gathered around. The person who said the information was quite smug about it so many people were expressing interest. He said, "Lady Seven of the Tu Family. Hiss, she put down more than 10 million Xuan Crystals in one bet without even blinking. She is so loaded!"

"10 million!"

Many were taken aback. Truth be told, many warriors had that amount of money but they didn't have the guts to put down 10 million Xuan Crystals in one bet. If they were unlucky, they could lose billions of Xuan Crystals overnight. For warriors of the Eternal Realm, that was a huge amount.

"It is her. No wonder…"

Some warriors smiled a dirty smile. One of them said in excitement, "I heard that Lady Seven is fond of young, handsome men and she pays them 10 million Xuan Crystals to spend a night with her. Piss…Lady Seven is so pretty. If she has her eyes on me, I will let her toy with me for free."

"Ha, ha, Brother Chi, you think Lady Seven will fancy you with your look? You are good enough for that."

"I feel quite sorry for Lady Seven, actually. She was married to that good-for-nothing in the You Family. He cannot even consummate the marriage. How can she possibly stand that? She suffers in the You Family. No wonder she is seeking fun here…"

"I have seen her once. She is so stunning. I think fairies are no prettier than her…"

"…"

After eavesdropping for a moment, Lu Li had gained a clear picture. Two families formed the Drifting Cloud Hall, the Tu Family and the You Family. There were internal competitions between the two families. The most powerful and outstanding warrior from either family would become the hall master which could guarantee that the master was always the strongest. This method could also stimulate disciples of the two families to cultivate hard.

The two families were bonded by marriages as well to stabilize their relationship. Lady Seven of the Tu Family had married a young master of the You Family. Unfortunately, the young master could not perform sexually. Maybe he had been badly injured but could not find some special Mystical Materials to be cured or the young master wasn't valued so he wasn't given such resources. Therefore…the Lady Seven would go out and have fun, she kept lovers and would find young men to toy with…

Lu Li had seen many slutty girls. This Lady Seven was particularly interesting.

Being a young lady of the immediate Tu Family, she might have the chance to meet the Saintess.

Why had Lu Li come to the city? He was here to meet Saintess. After making sure Saintess was Lu Ling, the rest of the rescue effort would become much easier. If Lu Li could gain trust from the Lady Seven, he might have the chance to seek an audience with the Saintess.

Lu Li listened for a bit longer and left. He found that old servant who eventually came directly to his point, "I want to go to the VIP room. Games out here are not thrilling enough."

The old servant looked at Lu Li with doubt and said, "My lord, you need at least 100 million Xuan Crystals to get into the VIP room. If you can afford that, I will go and ask Chief Steward Li."

For Lu Li, to provide 100 million Xuan Crystals was utterly easy. But he pretended to have a hangdog expression while said in a low voice, "I have picked up some dead guys money and I do have 100 million Xuan Crystals. The war is about to begin. This money will be of no use. But…keep it private and confidential."

"Of course, I know!"

The old servant understood. Lu Li handed over an Interspatial Ring secretly. The old servant checked and his expression turned more respectful right away. He showed Lu Li into a side chamber and said to a steward, "Chief Steward Li, this guest wants to go to the VIP room. He can afford the Xuan Crystals."

"Sure."

As soon as he heard Lu Li had enough Xuan Crystals, Chief Steward Li put on a warm smile. But he noted the Drifting Cloud Hall armor Lu Li had on. After a pause, Chief Steward Li said, "My lord, please change into a regular robe. You know…"

If news spread out that an average warrior of the Drifting Cloud Hall was gambling heavily, it could bear ill influence, of which Lu Li understood. He nodded and said, "Show me the way. I will get changed."

Lu Li changed into a handsome robe in a small room. Immediately, the robe gave him a different look. Meng Ji was not good-looking but he was not ugly, either. Lu Li's own bearing had added to his appearance. Lu Li had his fair share of experiences. His eyes were clear but with an intimidating glare.

The old servant showed Lu Li to an elegant side chamber which was much smaller than the hall. There were only 10 round tables. Some young masters and young ladies were inside along with some gambling old men of the Noble Lord Realm.

Lu Li's attention was attracted by the most stunning young lady at the largest round table right away. The young lady was only about 20 years old. She had on a black dress, emerald earrings and a headwear with pink tassels. Her outfit was bright-colored and beautiful.

The young lady had a nice figure. Lu Li could see her side from his direction. Her waist was slim but her breasts were developed. She had porcelain skin and a small and delicate nose. She could be compared with Jiang Qiling in appearance, qualified to be called one of the most beautiful young ladies.

There were two young masters standing by her. They were handsome but were sleek-haired and creamy-faced pretty boys. They were smiling and fawning, which had diminished their bearings greatly.

Lu Li began to wander around calmly. He put down bets of tens of thousands of Xuan Crystals on two tables, won once and then wandered to the big roundtable Lady Seven was at.

They were playing dice at this table. The dealer was the casino and the others were punters. Bets and odds were varied.

The dice cup was specially made. Lu Li tried several times but could not get psychic power in. Of course…if everyone could do that, the casino would be out of business.

Lu Li didn't go to Lady Seven. Instead, he went to the opposite side of the table. He didn't even look at Lady Seven. He focused on the dice cup, waiting to place his bet.

There were many people around the table but not many were placing bets. Only five were playing. More were watching Lady Seven gambling at high stakes.

Lady Seven wasn't holding Xuan Crystals in her hand, but mauve jade chips. One chip represented 10 million Xuan Crystals. She was playing heavy bets but for Lu Li, this amount of money was nothing.

The Drifting Cloud Hall was the second largest force in the Clouds Plains. The only one that was not afraid to offend Tu Family here was the Palace of Sun or some forces from the Central Plains.

Forces at the Central Plains had made a pact not to infiltrate in the other eight plains but it was okay to have some business developed secretly. For example, the Du Family was running an auction house at the Northern Desert. If the force behind the casino promised to stay out of conflicts at the Clouds Plains, it was nothing unusual to have some properties here.

After observing for a while, Lu Li placed his bet. He found a servant at the VIP room and get enough chips for 100 million Xuan Crystals. He put down five chips on number six.

"What~"

Lu Li's first action amazed all. Even Lady Seven looked over. Many here could afford 50 million Xuan Crystals but to place all on one number was something else. If it really turned out to be six, the casino would have to pay Lu Li 300 million Xuan Crystals.

Lu Li stayed composed and didn't look at Lady Seven. He said to a steward, "Now!"

The steward was calm as well but he gave Lu Li a meaningful glance. The steward looked at others around the round table and said, "Anyone else? If no we will open the cup now."

This time, nobody else was placing bets. They all stared at the dice cup. Lu Li was getting even calmer. He even stopped looking at the dice cup and began to drink tea.

The steward opened the cup. It was six! A heated discussion around the table was stirred up. Lady Seven kept looking at Lu Li and found him an enigma to be able to drink tea so casually.

The steward settled the bet. He began to shake the dice cup again. Putting it down, he said, "Okay, place your bets now."

Lu Li put down his teacup and said lightly, "Six again, 100 million this time."

Again, his action took everyone by surprise. Lady Seven was greatly intrigued. She said, "Same number for me, six and I will bet 20 million."

Nobody else dared to place bets. Steward checked again and opened the cup. Turned out…it was six again.

Everyone was boiling with excitement.
