Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao and the other onlookers all showed a hint of interest in their eyes.

Actually, there was no such thing as gambling with one's life in the Killing City originally, not because it was too cruel.

On the contrary, the people here are used to life and death. A gambler's worthless life and the bloody Marys squeezed out after death are not enough to pay for a single gambling session. So, after these people have lost all their money, they are usually driven away. Let them die somewhere else, so that they don't have to clean up their mess.

After Chen Yao arrived, he looked down on those Bloody Marys and set a rule: if someone lost everything and was penniless, they could gamble their life with him. If Chen Yao lost, he would return all the Bloody Marys he had won. If Chen Yao won, there was nothing more to say; it was up to him whether he wanted to do it himself or Chen Yao would help him.

Chen Yao looked down on that Bloody Mary, so he was naturally happy to have some entertainment there and to have more fun for himself.

The onlookers who were initially dismissive of gambling with their lives found it quite interesting after witnessing several of Chen Yao's life-or-death games. Although they couldn't do something as wasteful as Chen Yao using Bloody Mary for amusement, they still watched with great relish.

Amidst the cheers and shouts, Chen Yao smiled and nodded, then looked at the maid beside him who was dressed provocatively, wearing animal ears and with a cat tail attached to her back.

Chen Yao gave her breasts a couple more firm squeezes before chuckling.

"Continue dealing the cards."

Upon hearing this, the maid blushed and turned to look at Chen Yao with affection. However, she saw that he was looking elsewhere with a calm expression. A look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she had no choice but to give up her wild fantasies and do her job. She stood in the center of the card table and began to distribute the cards to both sides.

However, halfway through the dealing of cards, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the tavern, which was slightly different from the usual noise.

"Who's gone mad this time, trying to smash up the tavern?"

Someone muttered.

"I don't know. In the past, we might have been able to have some fun, but if someone tries to smash up this tavern today, the consequences will probably not be good. This person is here today."

Some people replied with schadenfreude.

The person who had spoken earlier nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Yao also noticed the commotion outside the door. He frowned slightly, then glanced at the crowd and pointed to a person who looked somewhat familiar and whose image he had a decent impression of.

"Go outside and see if anyone is causing trouble. Chase them away so they don't spoil my fun."

"Yes, sir!"

When the man saw that Chen Yao had called his name, he was overjoyed and looked honored. He quickly squeezed his way out of the crowd.

Although, under the harsh conditions of the killing field, cultivating a good relationship with Chen Yao wouldn't bring any preferential treatment; you'd still die if you were destined to die.

But in the outside world, it's different. He will be labeled as Chen Yao to some extent. At least if he walks out of the killing field seriously injured, those guys on the street who want to mess with him will have to think twice.

A moment later, the person who had gone out ran back, but with some hesitation on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he still spoke to Chen Yao.

"My lord, the person outside is the Asura Woman."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's expression froze, and he paused in the action of drawing cards.

I was a little surprised; I never expected Ah Yin to come to a place like this.

However, after a moment of surprise, Chen Yao waved his hand and said.

"Since it's her, we don't need to worry about her. Let her do whatever she wants; she won't cause trouble."

Now that Ah Yin is the most normal one among the four of them, she wouldn't come out to cause trouble for no reason, so Chen Yao didn't take it to heart.

Ah Yin was depressed because of that embarrassing thing.

I had long heard that alcohol could help people forget their troubles, but after another indulgence tonight, I felt like I was getting myself into a fire and couldn't calm down. After some hesitation, I decided to come out and try this alcohol to see if it was as magical as Liu Erlong had said.

After entering the tavern, Ah Yin went to the counter to order a drink, but then heard a commotion coming from one side of the tavern.

Ah Yin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the other side was surrounded by a crowd of people, their heads bobbing together.

Driven by curiosity, Ah Yin took the glass from the bar and went to the crowd. Feeling the pungent smell of blood mixed with the smell of smoke and alcohol on these people, Ah Yin frowned slightly, then released Blue Silver Grass and patted them.

"Damn it! Who's filming me?"

Some people turned around angrily, feeling very dissatisfied that the exciting scene had been abruptly interrupted.

But when he turned around completely and saw Ah Yin's expressionless face, his expression froze, and the curse he was about to finish was completely frozen in place.

"I need to get in, clear a path for me."

Ah Yin raised her wine glass, took a small sip, and felt the strange taste lingering in her mouth. She frowned slightly, swallowed with difficulty, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the person who had turned around and spoke.

The man nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and then began to push his way through the crowd.

Although it initially drew dissatisfaction from those in front, they soon saw Ah Yin behind them, staring at his wine glass in deep thought, under that person's guidance. They all became obedient and made way for him.

"It tastes awful. I don't know why these people are so enthusiastic about alcohol. It's like they feel uncomfortable if they don't drink for a day."

Ah Yin muttered to herself as she crossed the cleared path and entered the inner perimeter.

As soon as she entered, she spotted Chen Yao intently shuffling cards at the mahjong table.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Chen Yao? What are you doing here?"

However, Chen Yao didn't even look up, only saying concisely.

"Play."

"Play? What kind of play? Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin became interested and immediately walked to Chen Yao's side. Looking at the maid who had returned to her seat next to Chen Yao, she immediately gave her a threatening look.

The maid trembled at the sight. She was well aware of Ah Yin's fearsome reputation in the killing field and was terrified. Without hesitation, she quickly gave up her seat.

Ah Yin nodded in satisfaction, then sat down next to Chen Yao, leaning closer to stare at the cards in Chen Yao's hand, full of curiosity.

But as she got closer, Ah Yin caught a whiff of Chen Yao's aura.

Although Chen Yao had probably killed more people than anyone else present, strangely, there was no bloody smell clinging to him. Although he still smelled slightly of alcohol, Ah Yin didn't find it repulsive.

Because it was a familiar scent to her.

At the same time, she also remembered the shameful things Chen Yao had done to her back in the Star Dou Great Forest.

A blush immediately crept onto her cheeks, and the restlessness she had managed to suppress surged up again, threatening to become uncontrollable.

Ah Yin was startled and shook her head repeatedly, trying to clear her mind of all distracting thoughts.

"What is this thing? How do you play it?"

Ah Yin asked Chen Yao a question, trying to distract herself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Ah Yin, and initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but after thinking about it, he still spoke to the person who had been ordered around earlier.

"You go and explain it to her."

Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with joy, and he readily agreed.

Ah Yin looked somewhat displeased upon hearing this, as Chen Yao always liked to ignore her!

But as the man began to explain the rules of the card game to Ah Yin, Ah Yin's attention was drawn to it, and she became very interested in this novel way of having fun.

As Ah Yin gradually understood the rules, the moment of truth for the card game in the room arrived.

After Chen Yao and his partner revealed their cards, the result was revealed to everyone.

Unfortunately, the person who made the bet couldn't defy fate; he still lost.

It was all luck. Anyone who played cards with Chen Yao knew that he only enjoyed the thrill of the unknown when the cards were revealed. He didn't care about the bloodshed. After coming in, he had both wins and losses.

So even the people who were gambling on the cards never suspected Chen Yao of cheating. However, at this moment, his face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his eyes were filled with madness. He could hardly believe that this was his fate.

However, the gazes cast around them showed no pity, only disdain and mockery.

They despise those who choose to lose at the gambling table rather than risk their lives on the killing field.

"He lost, didn't he? And what was the price he paid?"

Seeing the man's seemingly crazed expression, Ah Yin asked him a question out of curiosity.

"He doesn't have a Bloody Mary on him right now, so the price of losing is naturally his own life. It's just that Lord 'Demon' is kind-hearted and willing to accept his bet. Otherwise, the Bloody Mary made from the little blood on his body wouldn't even be a tenth of the chips on the gambling table!"

The person explaining to Ah Yin at that moment also spoke with a disdainful expression.

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin remained unmoved. Living in the Killing City, she had long since become indifferent to the loss of a life.

Just as Ah Yin nodded as if she understood, Chen Yao yawned in his chair, pointed to the person in front of the table, and said lazily.

"Can someone help me collect the bets?"

"Hehe! I'd be happy to serve you, sir!"

At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on the faces of the surrounding crowd as they approached the gambler step by step. Amidst his terrified and desperate expression, a series of dark figures engulfed him.

Chapter 134: Intensity (Two chapters combined)

The death of a gambler did not affect the atmosphere; on the contrary, the spreading smell of blood made the crowd even more excited.

"Who's coming next?"

Chen Yao was smiling as he picked up the cards, his eyes sparkling with excitement; he was clearly enjoying himself.

However, just as some people in the crowd were getting restless, Ah Yin suddenly spoke up from the side.

"I come!"

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and even Chen Yao looked at Ah Yin in surprise.

"you?"

"That's good, so what, is it not allowed?"

Ah Yin tilted her head back and said.

“It’s not impossible”

Chen Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking, saying that he was just out looking for some fun, and it didn't matter who he played with.

Besides, Ah Yin was much more attractive than the gamblers in the tavern, so Chen Yao readily agreed.

"But we're not betting on Bloody Mary, I don't want that stuff."

Ah Yin continued.

"Okay, so what do you want to bet?"

Chen Yao didn't care. Like Ah Yin, he didn't really care about Bloody Mary; it was just a pawn to have fun with.
