The two of them still sat at the gambling table, nonchalantly playing mahjong as if nothing had happened.
In the air, two terrifying forces clashed rapidly, each move a lethal attack.
Clearly, they aimed to kill each other directly.
As long as one died before the game ended, the game could still be won.
It was just that the stakes of the game would take effect in advance.
Both forces carried a world-destroying aura, and even a slight touch could reduce a person to ashes.
Although the forces disappeared after missing or being blocked, the gamblers and players around retreated in horror.
They were afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Some even fell to the ground, trembling and unable to breathe from fear.
It was an uncontrollable terror, as if they were facing some monstrous being.
They couldn’t defeat it, nor could they escape, and not even a hint of resistance could arise in their hearts.
Ruan Qing was the closest. Although the two intentionally avoided him and controlled their powers well, ensuring they didn’t stray towards him, he could still feel those terrifying forces.
His face turned pale, and his hand holding the mahjong tile trembled slightly, looking pitiful.
This was the influence of their powers, causing even Ruan Qing to feel uncontrollable fear.
It made one’s skin crawl.
[Husband, don’t let your hand holding the tile shake. They probably won’t hit you. When you shake, I get really scared, sob sob sob sob.]
[Who wouldn’t shake in this situation? I can feel that terrifying power through the screen. It feels like they could kill me through the screen. Husband, you’re amazing just for sitting there steadily.]
[Indeed, just watching makes me break out in a cold sweat, and my whole body trembles uncontrollably. These two are simply too terrifying.]
Even through the screen, that fear was palpable, making it unimaginable how horrifying it was on site.
Was this the strength of the players on the leaderboard?
The two at the gambling table clearly belonged in the second district of the Life and Death Casino, but had come to the first district to gamble.
Players and gamblers were baffled.
The clash of those terrifying forces in the air instilled fear just by watching.
But Su Zhen and the boy maid sat steadily at the table, as if those forces had nothing to do with them, continuing to draw and play their tiles.
They were even chatting idly.
The boy maid played a card while smiling at Su Zhen. “Uncle, do you know? A forced melon is not sweet.”
U...Uncle?
The players watching instinctively looked at Su Zhen.
Although no one knew Su Zhen’s exact age, he clearly didn’t look old enough to be called an uncle.
The boy maid was obviously trying to disgust Su Zhen.
Su Zhen didn’t seem angry and spoke leisurely, “It’s true that those who haven’t weaned should call me uncle.”
Su Zhen took a tile, glanced at it, and then played it, “But how do you know it’s forced?”
“But he doesn’t like you,” the boy maid tilted his head, his smile becoming even more radiant, “If he liked you, why didn’t he refuse my special services?”
“Are you sure he didn’t really refuse you?” Su Zhen casually tapped the gambling table. “One should have self-awareness. Don’t be thick-skinned and think you weren’t refused when you were.”
“And even if he didn’t refuse you, so what?”
Su Zhen laughed lightly and glanced at Ruan Qing, his tone affectionate. “He’s just being petty with me, trying to annoy me.”
Upon hearing this, the boy maid’s smile faded a bit, clearly guessing that Su Zhen had hit the mark.
The relationship between Yan Qing* and this man did indeed seem like Yan Qing was throwing a tantrum. (T/N: The name of Ruan Qing’s NPC identity in this instance.)
After all, Yan Qing’s fearful reaction to being discovered clearly showed he cared about the man.
And when Yan Qing was held by the man, he didn’t struggle or resist.
That wasn’t a pose typical of a normal relationship.
The boy maid lifted his chin slightly and looked at Su Zhen, speaking calmly, “He let me into his bed.”
Su Zhen’s smile also faded. “I told you, he was just trying to annoy me.”
“How can actions taken out of anger be taken seriously? You’re just a tool he used to provoke me.”
“It could be you. It could be someone else.”
After Su Zhen finished speaking, the boy maid spoke again calmly, “He let me into his bed.”
Su Zhen: “...”
Before Su Zhen could speak, the boy maid repeated once more, “He let me into his bed.”
The onlookers, both players and gamblers, were speechless: “…This is terrifying.”
The boy maid smiled at Su Zhen after speaking. “He even praised my dance.”
Su Zhen’s smile completely disappeared, his eyes filled with a menacing glare.
It was clear that the boy maid had successfully angered him.
The atmosphere at the gambling table grew increasingly frightening, to the point where the onlookers felt suffocated.
However, Ruan Qing continued to quietly play his tiles, playing his role as a background character, as if he wasn’t the person they were talking about.
As long as the two didn’t ask him anything, Ruan Qing pretended not to hear them.
The two at the gambling table seemed to no longer care about winning; they were both glaring at each other, wanting to kill one another.
Killing the other would be a faster way to win.
They stopped controlling the staff and directly turned the surroundings into a battlefield.
The clash of their powers created a terrifying aura that seemed capable of destroying everything.
Even though their control over their powers was precise and they retracted their attacks if they missed, the remaining aura was enough to make the entire Life and Death Casino extremely dangerous.
Almost everything near the Mahjong table on the first floor of the casino was destroyed, looking like a wasteland, except for the area around Ruan Qing, which was relatively safe.
The other gambling tables on the first floor had long ceased their activities. The gamblers either scrambled to leave the casino or hid near Ruan Qing.
The players naturally did not leave and mostly hid behind Ruan Qing.
But they did not dare to get too close to Ruan Qing, as they hadn’t forgotten that these two were fighting because of this young man.
If they got too close and made the two uncomfortable, they might be instantly annihilated.
The onlookers began to admire Ruan Qing.
Despite the fierce fight, he was able to sit steadily at the gambling table, whereas they would probably have fainted.
Even if they didn’t faint, they wouldn’t be able to hold their tiles.
Fear was difficult to suppress, and it’s hard to control one’s body when afraid.
That’s why some people, when faced with danger, do not run but collapse to the ground in terror.
As expected, someone who had so many powerful people offering bounties for him was not a simple character.
Su Zhen and the boy maid had been fighting openly for a long time, yet not a single staff member came forward to stop them.
It was as if their actions were in line with the rules of the Life and Death Casino.
Everyone could see that it was these two who were fighting, but no one dared to explicitly acknowledge that fact.
Because there was no evidence.
both of these guys are delusional. someone needs to come steal ruan qing away from this mentals
