Chapter 61: Temptation, Temptation

  Everyone is requested to support San Shao's new book "Only I am a Fairy": /showbook.asp?Bl_id=40717, VIP has also been put on shelves.

  A simple-minded Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he watched the scene unfold. As a youth under eighteen, he was naturally drawn to such a dazzling display. The white-clad girls flitting about like butterflies continued to stimulate his senses. Yan Li was even more affected, with drool almost dripping from his mouth, his robust arm already wrapped around the waist of the girl accompanying him, his eyes gleaming with a mesmerized expression. Yan Shi, on the other hand, only felt a slight surprise at first, but quickly regained his composure. To him, these lovely young women were nothing more than soulless zombies, devoid of self-respect and autonomy, willing to be manipulated by others. Such women held little allure for this man who had long since lost his heart.

  "Hmm!" A cold hum from the rock shook Ah-Dai out of his trance, and he felt a jolt throughout his body. He had already realized his mistake, and as he woke up, the vital energy inside him naturally stirred, stimulating his mental strength. The cool sensation was like a refreshing drink that instantly brought Ah-Dai back to normal, and his eyes regained their clarity. Yan-Li also became somewhat sober, but it was clear that he had been too deeply entranced, and his large hands were still tightly clasped around the girl's waist and hips.

  A'Doh and Rock exchanged a glance, silently acknowledging the intensity of the scene. Even they, seasoned warriors with stronger wills than ordinary people, were almost entranced. Rock nudged A'Doh with his eyes, then gestured towards Rockforce's direction, hinting for A'Doh to find a way to wake him up.

  A'Doh's heart stirred, and he stuck close to Yan Li's side. His right hand lightly placed on his own chest, under the stimulation of the pure true energy, the hilt of the Ming Wang sword at his chest emitted a wisp of evil energy. A'Doh carefully used his pure true energy to wrap up this evil energy and sent it into Yan Li's body. At Tian Gang Mountain, the Tian Gang Sword Saint had specially instructed A'Doh on how to control the Ming Wang sword's overwhelming evil power. Although the evil power of the Ming Wang sword was strong, it could only be displayed after being unsheathed. Before that, with A'Doh's current pure true energy cultivation, controlling the evil energy it emitted was not a problem. Even if it were unsheathed, he could still rely on his refined skills to control the evil energy within a certain range. The evil energy A'Doh input into Yan Li's body was very weak and not enough to harm his strong physique, but as a stimulus, it was sufficient.

  Yanli's eyes sparkled, and he shivered with a chill, his whole body feeling a sudden coldness. He felt as if there was a terrifying force surrounding him, and he grunted, suddenly releasing the girl's hand. The dazed look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a shocked expression. Ah-Dai transmitted a message to Yanli: "Brother Yanli, this place is too tempting, you must guard your heart! Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you fall into it and can't pull yourself out. Be careful with everything."

  Yan Li slightly nodded, withdrawing his gaze from the scene and lowering his head to look at the ground. All of this happened almost instantly after the doors of the Fu Gui Hall opened, but Ah Dai and the three others had already exchanged blows with An Hao Ye's men, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

  The girl beside Ah-Dai raised her hand and smiled: "Please, honored guest." As she spoke, she took a step back, yielding the space to enter to Ah-Dai and his companions. This girl was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure, long beautiful legs, captivating eyes, and an absolutely stunning appearance that surpassed all the other girls present. What set her apart from the others was the pair of white gloves made of gauze on her hands, which only vaguely revealed the slender beauty of her hands inside.

  Three silly men walked into the hall, apart from the three girls following them, no one would notice them, the gamblers' attention were all focused on their own games in front of them.

  "Sir, what would you like to play?" asked the girl who was with Ah-Dai.

  The silly one stared blankly, turned his head to look at the rock, and the rock said calmly: "We love playing roulette the most, not only is it fast, but also completely relying on luck. Do you have a roulette here?"

  The girl smiled and said, "Of course, we have the largest casino in the entire Dark City, and it's definitely among the top three in the entire Sunset Empire. We have all kinds of gambling tools, no matter what. Please follow me." As she spoke, she turned around and led the way, her footsteps light and graceful, walking in front of Ah-Dai, her slender figure constantly transforming into a seductive silhouette.

  A'Dai had learned from his previous lesson, and at this moment, he was extremely cautious. His mind was clear and focused, using the dark energy of the Ming Wang sword to stimulate his body and mind. No matter what temptation came his way, it would have no effect on him now. The roulette wheel was located in the northwest corner of the hall, and under the girl's lead, the six of them arrived before it. There were only two gamblers here, both dressed as wealthy merchants, looking like they had just finished a round of betting. Their faces showed signs of despair, clearly having lost.

  Yan Shi Chong Ah stupidly nodded, and the three of them gathered in front of the roulette wheel. The girl who was leading the way stuck close to Ah's side, her plump and elastic body pressing against him. Ah had never encountered such a situation before, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. He slightly dodged to the side, but the girl followed closely behind him, still clinging to him. Her full-bodied figure twisted slightly, and her ample chest rubbed against Ah's arm. Ah was extremely embarrassed, and he lightly coughed, pushing the girl's body to the side. The girl's height exceeded Ah's nose, and she gently lifted her head, a look of sadness on her face that made people want to pity her. In a low voice, she said: "Sir, do you dislike me?"

  Ah-Dai was most afraid of women crying, and hastily explained: "No, I don't dislike you, it's just that you're so close to me, I'm a bit unaccustomed to it. Don't cry, or others will think I've bullied you."

  The girl's sadness turned to joy, and she slightly moved away from Ah-Dai, but her delicate body still touched Ah-Dai's arm, just not as seductively as before. Ah-Dai let out a sigh of relief and didn't dare to dodge anymore. The girls beside Yan Shi and Yan Li were doing the same thing, and Yan Li's earlier clarity was clearly dispelled by this huge temptation. His thick arms once again wrapped around the girl's waist, occasionally pinching her buttocks, but the girl only blushed slightly and didn't dodge, letting him do as he pleased. Yan Shi was like Ah-Dai, also resisting the temptation, but the stimulation of his beloved wife Yun Er's death was too great. The girl in front of him, although excellent in both figure and appearance, couldn't move his icy heart. He ruthlessly pushed the girl aside and coldly shouted: "Get away from me!" The girl let out a cry, her body almost falling over, her eyes reddening as tears flowed down. Yan Shi seemed not to have seen it, and shouted at the girl beside Ah-Dai: "Give me another 1,000 gold coins by the 36th."

  The girl next to Ah-Dai's face moved, looked at Ah-Dai for a moment, and neatly placed 1,000 gold coins of chips on the betting position of number 36. The roulette betting method here is exactly the same as Fat Uncle's casino before, even the odds are the same.

  The other two gamblers saw the rock press the single number, and they both showed a disdainful expression. One of them pressed the white grid representing an even number, while the other pressed a multiple of three.

  The croupier was a man in his forties, with an extremely ordinary appearance, nothing special could be seen from him. When he saw the rock pressing down on Du Ma's face, there was no expression on his face. In terms of quality, he was much more impressive than the croupier at Fei Shu's place. He shouted "Place your bets!" and started spinning the wheel. Ah-Dai quietly urged the true energy in his body to explore under the roulette machine, just like he did at Fei Shu's casino. When his energy entered the roulette machine, he was shocked to discover that there was a large box underneath it, filled with water, with ripples gently lapping against each other. The energy Ah-Dai inputted was immediately shaken up, making it impossible for him to find the right position. Ah-Dai's heart skipped a beat, could it be that this casino was not cheating?

  The girl beside Ah-Dai lowered her head, feeling the subtle energy fluctuations on Ah-Dai's body. A cold glint flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and all her previous coquettishness disappeared without a trace. However, none of the three people noticed it.

  Ah-Dai, of course, wouldn't give up at this point. Although the bottom plate under the wheel was all water, there were still boxes to hold water. He carefully transferred the energy from the wooden box in an orderly manner and finally managed to sneak into the space under the wheel just as it was about to stop. With the control of the energy threads, he successfully pulled the small wooden ball on the wheel into grid number thirty-six.

  "Ah——" The other two gamblers exclaimed in surprise, this round was a rare case where the banker lost everything. Those two had also bet 1,000 gold coins each, and now they both had quite a bit of profit, but the biggest winner was still Rock, who quickly won 25,000 gold coins with his 1,000 coin chips.

  The rock probed successfully, glanced at Ah Dumb, and showed an encouraging color. Without hesitation, he let the girl put the 75,000 chips in her hand on number 36 again. The banker who had been lowering his head slowly raised his head, looked at the rock with concentration, and his eyes flashed with a captivating light. A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if to say, "Come and die if you want."

  The rock didn't flinch at the opponent's expression, smiling faintly with his hands clasped in front of his chest. The other two gamblers were taken aback by the rock's massive bet, but they didn't follow suit and instead placed the same bets as before. The banker didn't hesitate, saying in a low voice, "Place your bets." The roulette wheel spun rapidly under his powerful control.

  A'Dai still used his old trick, inserting the energy thread under the wheel, but just as his energy touched the wheel, a strong surge of energy suddenly came from the other side, instantly blocking the energy thread he had sent out. A'Dai was shocked in his heart, looked up to see that Zhuang Jia was pressing both hands on the table behind the wheel, his eyes shining brightly and staring at the rock. A'Dai suddenly understood that the resisting energy must have been emitted by Zhuang Jia, this Zhuang Jia's power is not weak! Obviously a master, but he had his hands pressed on the table, seemingly his power was still inferior to his own.

  Ah-Dai naturally couldn't let the entire bet slip away, so he quietly urged his silver-gold body to change its method of outputting vital energy. The threads of vital energy suddenly became extremely sharp and easily broke through the obstruction of the Zhuang family, smoothly reaching the roulette wheel below. The Zhuang family's face changed greatly as their power was broken, and they took a step back, momentarily stunned. At this time, the roulette wheel had almost come to a stop, with the wooden ball continuously jumping about, just about to fall. Ah-Dai was just about to pull the ball into the grid when he suddenly felt a sharp energy burst forth from the girl's body, which was pressed against his own. Because he feared that his vital energy would overflow, the protective energy surrounding him wasn't strong, and it was easily broken through by that sharp energy. Ah-Dai let out a stifled groan, his heart filled with great anger, as he suddenly raised the energy of his silver-gold body to its peak. His body rapidly emitted a faint white glow, which flashed once before disappearing, having already dispelled the invading energy. Just as the ball was about to fall into grid number 38, Ah-Dai made a sudden downward pull, successfully keeping the ball in grid number 36.

  Although Ah-Dai didn't counterattack, the girl's energy was neutralized by him, and she couldn't help but turn pale, stumbling to one side. Her face changed greatly. She never thought that Ah-Dai's internal energy would be so strong, and in such an unfavorable situation, he could actually dissolve her sneak attack. Ah-Dai glared at the girl with a cold gaze, but he couldn't say anything now, after all, he had also used his internal energy to cheat, changing the direction of the wooden ball. The girl's shocked expression made him feel a pang in his heart, and he furrowed his brow, shifting his gaze towards the banker behind the roulette wheel.

  Yan Shi was unaware of the danger Ah Dai faced, and amidst the cheers of two other gamblers, he rushed towards the pale-faced banker and said: "Pay up. The total is one million eight hundred seventy thousand gold coins."

  The banker coughed and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I don't have that many chips here. Would you mind waiting for a moment? I'll go get some."

  The rock in his heart secretly admired the fact that the banker had lost so much money yet remained calm and composed, although he was going to find help, but didn't mean to not pay. The banker quickly left. Ah-Dai continued to stare at the girl beside him, the girl no longer had her flirtatious expression, her face suddenly turned abnormally cold, a chill flashed in her eyes, staring at Ah-Dai without relaxing. Ah-Dai suddenly felt that this cold and stern girl was more lovely than the coquettish one before, his heart softened, he let out a light sigh, but still didn't say anything.

  The girl's mind was filled with regret, blaming herself for her impulsiveness. Her task wasn't to affect Ah-Dai, but rather she had suddenly felt the urge to test his abilities after sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from him. However, her rash actions hadn't succeeded, and Ah-Dai might have become wary of her. She had thought that Ah-Dai would definitely be influenced by her and make a move, so she watched for anger in his eyes, ready to defend against his attack at any moment. But Ah-Dai merely glared at her for a few moments without taking further action, as if nothing had happened earlier. What shocked her the most was that after seeing her return to normal, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed across Ah-Dai's face, replacing his previous rejection. She couldn't help but wonder: could it be that the cold me is more lovable than the masked me?

  The banker finally ran back, followed by Jin Bo. Jin Bo didn't seem to be tense due to the banker's huge loss of money. Behind him, a big man held a large tray in his hand, and on the tray was a high stack of dark red chips, about two hundred or so.

  "Three gentlemen, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. It turns out that the three of you are actually high-stakes gamblers, and I was truly impolite earlier. These are your winnings, which can be exchanged for cash at our Dark Tiger Nightclub at any time, please accept them." As he spoke, he gestured to the large man behind him to hand over the tray in his hands.

  Ah-Dai took the tray and was surprised to find that the chips inside were all worth 10,000 gold coins. The dark red chips were actually made of red crystal, and so many pure dark red crystals were extremely valuable. It seems that the hidden strength of this Dark Night Club is really astonishing!

  Yan Shi walked up to Ah Dumb, who hadn't noticed the earlier disagreement between Ah Dumb and the girl. He put all his attention on Jin Bo, smiling faintly: "Today's luck is not bad, I pressed twice on the single code and both times won! Thanks for your auspicious words earlier, Brother Jin! Brother Jin, do you think if I were to bet all this money again on the single code, would your Dark Gang still be able to afford it?"

  Jin Bo's face changed color and he smiled unnaturally: "Of course, we can afford to compensate, but you few are no longer suitable to play here."

  Yan Shi's face sank, and he said, "What do you mean by this?"

  Jin Bo suddenly became calm and smiled: "Don't misunderstand, sir. What I mean is that with your current assets, plus the identity of this noble magician, you can already go to the third floor to enjoy better treatment. There, you will receive even better hospitality."

  Yan Shi and Ah Diao exchanged a glance, saying: "Alright, I've long heard that your Dark Castle's three layers are the paradise of the mortal world. It just so happens that this time we can experience it for ourselves. Brother Jin, please lead the way."

  Jinbo glanced at the girl beside Ahdai with a flicker of his eyes, turned around and made a please gesture, leading the way. The three girls followed behind Ahdai's trio, quickly exiting the luxurious hall. Just as they were about to go upstairs, Yalik discovered that the little beauty he had been "loving" for half a day hadn't followed them, and couldn't help but ask: "How come they're not following us up?"

  Jin Bo smiled and said, "They are all attendants of the Rich and Noble Hall. The Sacred and Noble Hall above will have even better attendants, a level higher than them. Don't worry, in the Sacred and Noble Hall, you will definitely receive even better treatment, please come."

  "Wait a minute." Ah-Dai suddenly stopped Jinbo. Jinbo was taken aback and asked, "Sir, is there something else?"

  "Ah-Dai nodded and said, 'I don't want anyone else to accompany me, as long as she is with me.' He pointed at the girl who had just snuck up on him. He was very curious about her. Earlier, when she had been seductively entwining herself around him, he hadn't sensed that she was a skilled martial artist. But after sneaking up on him, she suddenly became as cold as ice. Ah-Dai didn't understand why he wanted to keep her by his side; he just felt that her clear eyes seemed to be filled with sadness and resentment."

  The girl's heart skipped a beat as she looked up at the silly yet highly skilled magician in front of her, furrowing her brow. Golden waves of light fell on her, revealing an inquiring expression, and the girl's eyebrows gradually relaxed as she turned to Ah-Dai, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and the girl found that Ah-Dai's gaze was so clear, without a hint of impurity. Her slender body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily nodded.

  Yan Shi looked at Ah Diao, feeling somewhat puzzled. Although the girl's appearance was indeed exceptional, it still fell short compared to Xuan Yue. Suddenly, he also noticed the change in the girl's expression. But Ah Diao didn't show any signs of being tempted by her. Could it be that Ah Diao had other intentions? Thinking this far, Yan Shi decided not to speak out against it.

  Jin Bodao: "Since you want Ah Bing to accompany you, Master Magician, then take her. You can always switch her out once you're upstairs."

  A'Dai smiled slightly and nodded at A'Bing, who gave him a cold stare in return. Under Jinbo's lead, the three of them, along with A'Bing, headed upstairs together.

  At this time, in a dark room of the Black City Lord's mansion, a pale-faced middle-aged man stood quietly behind his desk, with his back to the door.

  A light knock at the door came, and the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged as he said in a low voice, "Come in."

  The door opened and a black figure flashed into the room, his whole body shrouded in black clothes. He bowed and said: "Master, Eagle has come to report."

  The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, still with his back to the door, and said faintly: "Have you found the person I told you to find?"

  "Eagle said: 'Found it. I have over 80% confidence that the person we found is the martial artist magician you are looking for.'"

  "Huh?" The middle-aged man let out a light hum and said, "Why isn't it 100%?"

  "Eagle bowed his head and said, 'Master, after receiving your order that day, I quickly rushed to the garrison of the Hua Sheng Empire. Originally, I wanted to sneak past quietly at night, but I overheard the soldiers in the military camp discussing a magician who could summon dragons. After eavesdropping for a while, I heard from several groups of soldiers that they were all talking about the same thing: not long before I arrived, three people had come to Guangming City, one of whom was a magician. Because the Hua Sheng Empire's garrison suspected their identities, the magician showed off his extraordinary summoning magic in front of many soldiers, and actually summoned a silver dragon filled with sacred aura, shocking the entire Hua Sheng Empire's garrison. It is said that those three people were heading towards our Luori Empire. At that time, I thought that if what the soldiers said was true, it was very likely that the magician was the person you mentioned. So, I quietly returned and finally found the three people not far from Hei An City.'"

  The middle-aged man slowly turned around, facing the eagle, and said: "A magician who can summon dragons? This is very refreshing. I haven't heard that there are still dragons on the mainland. You continue to speak."

  Here is the translation:

  "Now, Eagle told me how he disguised himself as a wealthy guest who had lost all his property and gained the trust of Ah-Dai and others. 'That magician has a very kind heart, he once used his internal energy to calm my emotions, so I can confirm that he is indeed the magician you mentioned who knows martial arts. His internal energy is extremely rich and belongs to the orthodox school, which must have taken a long time to cultivate. Later, under my leadership, they actually destroyed the casino of Fat Uncle in the east city and robbed him of 100,000 gold coins. Do you still remember the traps we set up? Using those traps, I led them to Dark Mansion, Jinbo's memory is good, and he cooperated with me very well, without revealing any flaws. Now, I think the three of them are still in Dark Mansion. Jinbo should have arranged for Bing to receive them, but now I don't know what the situation is like. Master, how do you plan to deal with them? Oh, right, they also gave me a letter saying that with this letter, I can safely pass through the guards of Guangming Province and go to their territory.' As he spoke, Eagle took out the last letter and diamond coins Ah-Dai and others had given him."

  The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, grasped the letter in his hand and said: "You take this money as your reward for this time. Let's go to the Dark Mansion and see what kind of skills this magician has. I really want to know how powerful he is. He can not only use martial arts but also summon dragons, which is something I've never heard of before. No wonder he can even defeat the demon's summoning. It seems that he is much stronger than that evil bastard. However, I'm curious, why did they come to our Sunset Empire? Are all the people in Huasheng stupid? Such a powerful magician would also be abandoned... no, not right, if that magician is really as kind as you described, then he must have other purposes for coming to the Sunset Empire. This purpose of theirs, I'm very interested." After finishing speaking, he took Eagle and quietly left the door, disappearing into the dark corridor of the City Lord's Mansion.

  Three people, including Ah-Dai, went up the stairs with Jin Bo. Bing crowded next to Ah-Dai, her face expressionless, her plump body always keeping a distance of half a foot from Ah-Dai, but the fragrance on her body kept stimulating Ah-Dai's sense of smell. Ah-Dai was very curious about this girl named Bing, and he really wanted to figure out why she had changed so much between before and after. Just now, he had used his skills to explore the situation inside the other girls' bodies, but he hadn't found anyone with extraordinary abilities. Was Bing a dark horse arranged by Ye Hao's Night Club, or did she have strong powers that even Ye Hao's people didn't know about? With a puzzled heart, Ah-Dai kept glancing at Bing, and although her surface was calm, she was surprised to find that her heartbeat had accelerated, and even the speed of her blood flow had increased. Why was this happening?

  Finally arrived at the third floor, the third floor is completely different from the previous two floors. After climbing the stairs, you can no longer see those magnificent decorations, replaced by a hall decorated with natural marble, surrounded by no extra furnishings, looking exceptionally elegant and giving people a very comfortable feeling. On the two doors carved like jade stones, there are three ancient and simple characters - Shenggui Hall. The most attractive thing is the eight white-clad maidens in front of the gate. These eight maidens all wear white long dresses, almost wrapping all their skin except for their heads inside, which is completely different from the maidens in the second floor's Fugui Hall. Not only are they more beautiful than those maidens on the second floor, but also their faces reveal a holy and pure expression, without any hint of flirtation. This kind of expression makes the three people feel greatly pleased.

  The rock in his heart secretly admired the mysterious and luxurious night club, which indeed had its unique charm. The decoration design was ingenious, especially the maids at the entrance, who were obviously set up for those noble guests, giving off a different flavor. Even someone as calm as him couldn't help but feel a good impression.

  Jin Bo smiled slightly and said, "Three noble guests, you can choose one of the eight maidens in front of this door as your personal attendant. They were all carefully selected from all over the country by our Dark Night Club and have undergone rigorous training. Each one is a rare treasure. If you are willing, they can also accompany you for the night, but it will require a relatively high fee. Their nightly rate is 50,000 gold coins." Lowering his voice, Jin Bo said with some mystery, "However, please rest assured, these maidens are absolutely worth it. They are all absolute virgins. Hehe."

  Looking at Jin Bo's sly smiling face, Ah Dai felt a surge of disgust in his heart. The Empire of the Setting Sun was indeed a dark country, actually treating these living girls as commodities to be sold.

  Yan Li was shocked and said: "Five hundred thousand gold coins, this is a bit too expensive."

  Jin Bo smiled and said, "Actually, it's not expensive at all. These girls were bought from their parents by us when they were around ten years old, and after more than six years of training, they came out to work. They can only receive guests once and cannot stay here again. Almost every guest who pays a high price for them will redeem them at a price of 100,000 gold coins after the event. If you don't believe me, you can try it out, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

  A'Dai let out a somewhat annoyed cough, pulled on the reins of his horse, and said: "Let's go in, we're here to gamble, not...". His face turned red as he trailed off.

  Jin Bo still had a smile on his face, just about to lead the three into the Shenggui Hall, but was blocked by Yan Shi. Yan Shi looked up and down at the eight girls, shook his head and said: "This kind of goods is not bad, but my brothers don't think much of it, Jin brother, I wonder if you have any other top-notch items here."

  "Ah, sir, these are all top-notch beauties from our secret society's midnight gatherings! Even if you searched the entire continent, it'd be hard to find women of this caliber!"
