"Ye Lang, are you willing to gamble?" The Seventh Princess asked a crucial question on behalf of everyone.
"No way!" Ye Lang replied.
"You're lying. How could you not know? If you don't know, how do you explain winning the entire Supreme Gambling House and then winning against King Gao Fei?" the Thirteen Allied Kingdoms questioned.
"Nothing more than luck!" everyone said in unison, then looked at each other and laughed. Sure enough, King Gao Fei was really unlucky to run into this kid.
"Luck?" The people of the Thirteen Allied Kingdoms didn't have time to study why these people were so well-organized; they just wanted to know what luck meant.
"That's right, it's all about luck! When this kid was born, there were colorful clouds all around him, and he was called the Son of God. Although that was later denied, he has always been favored by the Goddess of Luck. Luck is incredibly powerful." Seventh Brother began to explain.
"Gambling, while it involves skill, is ultimately futile if you encounter someone with absolute luck. No matter how skilled you are, it's all for naught, because that person with absolute luck will always win! And this kid, Thirteen, is that person with absolute luck!!"
No matter how good the other conditions are, if you're unlucky, you'll still lose at gambling. Even if you cheat, if you encounter someone like Ye Lang who is favored by Goddess of Luck, cheating will only help him win.
This is King Gao Fei's personal experience over the past two days. He tried countless gambling methods and even cheated secretly, but Ye Lang still won every time.
When rolling the dice, King Gao Fei got three sixes, which was the highest possible result. However, Ye Lang managed to get three sixes plus one. The reason was that the dice were cracked, and no one knew why they scattered when Ye Lang rolled them.
The king was frustrated...
When playing Tianjiu, Ye Lang always gets the Double Heavenly Supreme card, no matter how he shuffles it, the result is always the same. The strange thing is that it is King Gao Fei himself who shuffles the cards.
Still feeling down...
When playing mahjong, Ye Lang always gets a perfect hand, leaving no chance for others.
Depressed...
King Gao Fei had tried all the gambling tools, but the result was always the same. He felt that Ye Lang was a hidden master, so he stopped using gambling tools and started relying on luck, such as flipping coins or drawing lots.
Upon learning this, Ye Lanyu and the others sighed inwardly. This King Gao Fei was practically asking for death—he dared to compete with the freak Ye Lang in luck. Unless you are the Goddess of Luck, you are doomed.
This proved to be true; no one could match Ye Lang Ye Lang's luck. He could predict the outcome with just a few casual remarks.
Now everyone understands why the door was open earlier, and why Ye Lang said it was a woman and that he had won. It turns out that the two of them were betting on this again.
The bet was on whether the first person to enter would be male or female. King Gao Fei, knowing his own residence well, was certain that the first person to enter would be his servant, that is, a man!
However, they did not expect Ye Lanyu and the others to appear here, and they also learned that Ye Lang might be inside. That's why Ye Lanyu was the first to enter, and he lost again.
Perhaps, without Sister Mandy's appearance, not only would Ye Lanyu and the others have been kept there, but everyone would have also learned of Ye Lang's whereabouts. In that case, Ye Lang would have lost this bet and would have lost everything he had won.
However, Goddess of Luck wouldn't allow Ye Lang to lose his luck, so she arranged for Sister Mandy to come over and for Ye Lanyu to take the lead.
"What exactly did you do inside? How did it take you two days?" Ye Lanyu and the others asked Ye Lang.
"It was a gamble. He used everything he could think of, and now that he's out of ideas, it's over. Sigh..." Ye Lang sighed. "It's not that I didn't give him a chance to beat me, but he's just too bad. He loses every time!"
"..."
What can be said? Does King Gao Fei now have thoughts of suicide?
No, it's not that he had the desire to die, but rather that he was already dead...
"It's terrible! His Majesty the King has committed suicide by jumping off a building!!"
The sound from outside was puzzling. Wasn't the king inside? Why would he commit suicide outside?
At this moment, everyone looked at where the king had been standing and realized that because they were concerned about Ye Lang, no one had noticed that the king had quietly left.
"No way, he'd just commit suicide like that? Gambling really is harmful. I'm going to shut down the gambling den!" Ye Lang said regretfully. While explaining how harmful gambling is, he seemed unaware that he was the one who had won against the other person.
Everyone ran outside and came to the king's body, only then realizing it wasn't a joke!
Everyone is wondering why the king committed suicide. Was it just because he lost to Ye Lang, a novice who couldn't gamble? That can't be right.
"Brother, what exactly did he bet with you on?" Ye Lanyu asked, frowning. Thinking about it, this was the only reason; he must have lost something he shouldn't have lost.
Yes, that's right, otherwise why would someone commit suicide?
The crowd seemed to have no sympathy for the king who committed suicide; they were only concerned with the reason. After all, gamblers were not worthy of sympathy; they had brought it all on themselves.
"Didn't I say that he's gambled everything he could think of? All his assets, gambling dens, houses, land, gold, silver, jewelry, furniture, etc., and it seems he even bet his Tianjiu City, and his kingdom too..." Ye Lang slowly recalled, but because there were too many things, he couldn't explain them all at once.
As he spoke further down the story, everyone's expressions changed, becoming very strange...
"So that means, Ye Lang, you've won over this little kingdom, and you're now its king?" The Seventh Princess wanted to confirm.
"Yes, that's right!" Ye Lang nodded and said.
"..."
Everyone fell silent. This was an unprecedented event; one person had actually won over an entire kingdom! How could this be?!
Ye Lang, can you pull off something else that will surprise us? I think our nerves are about to go numb!
A small kingdom, a small kingdom, and this kid won it so easily in just two days. Goddess of Luck, could you be any more biased?
Everyone can only be envious of Ye Lang's opportunities, but they can never obtain them...
However, Ye Lang himself didn't care about any of that!
"Why did you have to die? If you wanted to come back, you could have just said so. I don't want these things." Ye Lang looked at the dead king and said with some confusion.
He doesn't know you don't care about these things. He thinks he has nothing left, which is why he's so upset!
