The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 49

Tang Rou's matter was finally solved satisfactorily.

The future of Lin Kai and Chen Qianqian was completely ruined. They, who used to be popular stars, now were like street rats hated by everyone. Criticism of them spread all over the Internet demanding them to quit show business.

Chen Hanlong did not break his promise. He actually helped Lin Kai and Chen Qianqian find an easy job.

Lin Kai was good-looking and fair-skinned, so Chen Hanlong let him work in one of his entertainment clubs and serve homosexual customers. As for Chen Qianqian, her situation was no better than Lin Kai's. She became a high-level prostitute. Chu Xun had originally wanted to punish Lin Hong and Huang Chenguang as well, but under Zheng Guangyi's earnest persuasion, he left these two people to Zheng Guangyi.

Zheng Guangyi built up his career from nothing. Though he was not as ruthless as Chen Hanlong, he was not a good guy either. To show his ability in front of Chu Xun, he would let Lin Hong and Huang Chenguang end more miserably.

Tang Rou gained the most from the event. Voices of sympathy filled the Internet, and many netizens became her fans. During the past several hours, she had over 500,000 followers more on her Weibo.

After the ups and downs in the day, Tang Rou was a little tired. Chu Xun sent her home for a rest against her will, and when they passed by a mobile phone store, under Tang Rou's threat, Chu Xun accepted the gift she gave him—an iPhone of the latest version.

Chu Xun returned Qianlong Mount Villas and had a vague feeling that he would make a breakthrough soon.

Late at night, Chu Xun felt restless during his cultivating. He suddenly opened his eyes, flew out of his yard, and looked upward.

He saw that the stars that covered the sky disappeared gradually like candles being put out. The sky now looked as if it had been covered by black cloth, and it was all silence between heaven and earth.

“Boom!”

An earth-shattering booming sound resounded through the sky.

Chu Xun's eyes suddenly contracted, and his heart ached inexplicably.

“Boom boom boom…”

Earth-shaking sounds kept echoing, shaking the buildings and the ground.

“Boom!”

A bolt of lightning flashed through the sky as if cutting the sky open.

Long-lasting light shone through the cut. Chu Xun's eyes shrank violently as he saw that countless stars were sucked into the cut and shattered into dust by an invisible force.

“Space Turbulence,” Chu Xun murmured to himself.

Space Turbulence always hid deep in the space, containing unpredictable, violent power. Even when Chu Xun was the Immortal Emperor, he had to be extremely careful when he passed through Space Turbulence.

Suddenly, thousands of golden lights shone through the cut, dazzling the eyes.

“Even if I'm doomed eternally, I'm willing to find you, and I have been reincarnated ten thousand times just to find you.”

In a trance, Chu Xun seemed to see a figure, accompanied by lingering words, walk out of the golden lights and disappear with the lights. The world then fell into darkness again.

Chu Xun regained his presence of mind and felt a chill from his face. He touched his face and realized his face was covered with tears. “Why did I feel so heartbroken? Why am I crying?”

When the sun rose and morning light fell on him, Chu Xun realized that he had been standing there for a whole night. He had never felt as touched as at the moment.

When Chu Xun returned to his villa, his eyes still looked confused, and the figure in the golden lights kept flashing in his mind.

Right then, Chen Hanlong came. He would go there to collect dewdrops every day and was more punctual than when he went to work.

“Good morning, sir!”

Chen Hanlong greeted Chu Xun.

Chu Xun collected his thoughts and nodded as a response.

“Is there any news from Bai Renjie?”

“Bai Renjie called us several times saying that he had found the accurate location of Bauhinia Casino.”

“Confirm the address and go there with me tonight.”

“Yes.” Chen Hanlong nodded hurriedly and smiled happily.

As night fell, Chen Hanlong drove Chu Xun to the suburb areas.

After driving for an hour, they finally arrived in a small village.

The village was small, and looking from afar, there were just about one hundred houses. The road in the village was made with stone.

As soon as the car entered the village, it was stopped by two villagers.

The two well-built men walked over and knocked on the car window. When the window was pulled down, they handed two masks into the car.

Chen Hanlong received the masks and handed the two men two wads of money, which were exactly 20,000 yuan.

One of the big men waved his hand, signaling them to move on.

Chen Hanlong was stunned when looking at the masks in his hands. One of the masks was “White Face” Cao Cao, while the other mask was “Black Face” Zhang Fei. Moreover, the masks were made so roughly that Chen Hanlong could smell a plastic smell. In the outside market, this kind of masks was worth only one yuan each.

“Sir, we have to wear a mask to enter this place.” Chen Hanlong explained.

“The owner of this place is really cautious.” Chu Xun smiled and put on the mask of “Black Face” Zhang Fei.

Chen Hanlong was stunned and thought that Chu Xun had token the wrong mask. Not daring to ask anything more, he put on the mask of “White Face” Cao Cao. The car moved on.

However, they were stopped again after they drove forward about 200 meters.

They pulled down the window of the car, and a big man handed in two poker cards, one of which was the Ace of Hearts while the other one was the King of Spades. The cards were made with normal materials, and a deck of this kind of playing cards would only cost two yuan.

Chen Hanlong complained secretly when he received the cards and thought that the man was so slapdash. However, he still gnashed his teeth and handed the man 100,000 yuan.

“What did they mean?” Chu Xun asked.

“These cards are the passports to enter the place, just like tickets.” Chen Hanlong explained helplessly.

Chu Xun felt amused that it cost him 100,000 yuan to buy two ordinary playing cards and that the owner of this place was really interesting.

After driving for ten minutes, the car was blocked by an ordinary house.

Two strong men walked out of dark and signaled Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong to get out of the car.

After they got off the car, one of the strong men signaled them to follow him.

They walked into the ordinary house. The yard was full of weeds and lay in desolation, but Chu Xun knew that there were no less than ten people hiding around.

The strong man remained silent and led Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong into one room. The man then stretched out to push the window that was about to fall.

“Creak!”

There were sounds of machine rubbing machine when the stone floor close to the wall shrank, revealing a path that two people could pass shoulder to shoulder.

Chen Hanlong opened his mouth, looking like he was shocked.

The strong man signaled Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong to get down the path.

Chen Hanlong had wanted to go down the path first, but Chu Xun went ahead of him. Chen Hanlong knew that Chu Xun was trying to protect him, so he was grateful to Chu Xun.

They walked downward along the stone path and saw that there were two well-built man guarding the place every a few meters.

After walking about ten minutes, they were stopped by a huge door over three meters high and two meters wide. The two big man who were guarding the door opened the door, and Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong were surprised by what they saw.

Looking through the door, they saw the hall inside was brightly lit and full of loud voices. Stunning bunny girls shuttled back and forth among the crowd.

As Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong walked into the hall, they found that it covered an area over one thousand square meters and was luxuriously decorated, like a luxurious underground palace.

“Sir, what are we going to play?” Chen Hanlong asked in a low voice.

There were all kinds of games in the place, such as roulette, dice rolling, playing cards, and mahjong.

“Dice rolling,” Chu Xun replied.

“Please wait for a moment, sir. I'll go to exchange for some chips.”

“Excuse me, how much is the cheapest chip here?”

Chen Hanlong asked a bunny girl who passed by there and got to know that the cheapest chip was five hundred yuan. The girl led Chen Hanlong to where he could exchange for chips enthusiastically. Bunny girls there could get a percentage of the chips their customers bought, and if they met generous customers, they would get a good tip.

However, when seeing that Chen Hanlong only exchanged for a chip of five hundred yuan, the bunny girl was so surprised with her eyes wide open. Her plump chest trembled when she tried hard to suppress her impulse to call Chen Hanlong names. She cursed to herself, “Where does this rustic come from?” She had been working there for a long time and had never met anyone who only exchanged for a chip of five hundred yuan. To be more accurate, there had never been such a customer like Chen Hanlong since the casino was established.

Chen Hanlong felt helpless, and his face blushed under the mask when he spotted the barely suppressed disdain on the bunny girl's face. Until this moment did he realize that the mask, which cost him 10,000 yuan, was not expensive at all because it at least could hide his embarrassment. He came to the casino with tens of millions, but Chu Xun ordered him to exchange for the cheapest chip. He could not help with it.

Seeing that she would not get a tip, the bunny girl left Chen Hanlong alone and walked away wriggling her waist and wagging her bunny tail.

Holding the chip of five hundred yuan in his hand, Chen Hanlong felt that everyone was laughing at him.

“Sir, why don't we exchange for more chips?” Chen Hanlong suggested cautiously.

Chu Xun ignored him, turned around, and walked to the table where he could play the game of rolling dice.

The game rule of rolling dice was very simple—the players could bet on the Come Out roll and double or lose their initial stake.

The croupier of the gamble table was a young man with small eyes and thin lips. The naevus beside his mouth indicated that he was a cold-hearted man. The croupier picked up the dicebox and shook it fast. There was nothing special about the way the man shook the box.

“Place your chip on what you bet, and withdraw your hands.”

The gamblers all shouted as they placed their bets.

“Withdraw your hands, withdraw your hands,” the croupier shouted twice.

After all the gamblers placed their bets and withdrew their hands from the table, the croupier placed the dicebox on the table.

The moment the dicebox touched the table, Chu Xun threw out his chip of five hundred yuan on the word “Small”.

The croupier could not help but glance at Chu Xun before suddenly opening the dicebox.

“One, two, three, Small Points.”

Those who placed their bets on “Small” immediately cheered up while those who placed their bets on “Big” could not help but sigh and complain.

Chu Xun picked up the chips of one thousand yuan that belonged to him quietly.

“Four, six, six, Big Points!”

“One, one, three, Small Points!”

“Four, five, six, Big Points!”

The number of Chu Xun's chips became bigger and bigger.

The croupier looked at Chu Xun from times to times and no longer looked as calm as before.

“Place your bets, hurry up! Withdraw your hands!” the croupier shouted.

However, at this moment, no one placed their bets but all looked at Chu Xun. The gamblers also realized that Chu Xun had never lost any round. Thus, they started to follow Chu Xun to bet and bet on what Chu Xun bet, thinking that they would certainly win.

So far, Chu Xun had turned his chip of 500 yuan into 500,000 yuan.

Chu Xun pushed out all of his chips.

The gamblers could not help but feel surprised because Chu Xun bet on three-of-kind instead of “Big” or “Small”.

“Three-of-kind” referred to that the three dices of the come out roll were the same numbers, and once the come out roll was a three-of-kind, those who bet on it would be the winner of the round and quintuple their chips.

Seeing Chu Xun's action, the gamblers was caught in a dilemma and wondered whether they should follow Chu Xun to bet or not.

A hint of sarcasm flashed within the croupier's eyes as he thought to himself, “No matter you're an expert in gambling or you have good luck, lose all your money this round!”

As the croupier touched the dicebox, his feet, which hid beneath the table, stepped on a button secretly. When he felt a slight tremble from the dicebox, he had a complacent smile on his face. Then, he opened the dicebox suddenly.

After the croupier opened the dicebox, his smile froze on his face. He stared at the three red points with dull eyes.

“Three 'one' points, it's a three-of-one-kind.”

Some gamblers could not help but exclaim. Then, an uproar broke out among the gamblers.

The gamblers beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting not following Chu Xun to place their bets.

Chen Hanlong laughed like a fool. Though he was very rich, he still felt very excited to see 500 yuan being turned into several millions. Besides, he knew that this sum of money would grow larger and larger just like a rolling snowball.

However, the croupier looked very sad as if he had lost his parents. Beans of sweats broke out on his forehead. He did not understand why his trick did not work out. Moreover, no gambler except for Chu Xun had participated in this round, which meant the croupier lost 2.5 million this round. Since the casino was not a charity, he would face serious consequence if he did not win those money back.
