Night had just fallen, and with the moon yet to rise, the sky was still very dim.
Liu Ruomei was practicing her sword within the villa's enclosure. She wore a set of white practice garb, her black hair flowing like clouds in the air, her jade hand holding a three-foot longsword.
She moved about the grounds, her right hand thrusting the sword out rapidly.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH...
The sound was piercing, as if tearing through space itself. The cold light flickered in the night, chilling one to the core.
By now, Liu Ruomei had cultivated to the Rushing Pulse Peak, just a step away from the Qi Sea Realm. She had become much, much stronger. This was simply a miracle. Even she felt as if she were dreaming; the speed of her improvement was just too fast.
This was all thanks to her brother-in-law, Zhang Bin. Her skin had also become more delicate and smooth, making her even more beautiful and enchanting—and this too was his doing.
Will he come back tonight? Will he disguise himself as Chen Junheng to come for a secret romance?
With these thoughts, she no longer had the heart to cultivate. She stopped her sword practice as a gorgeous blush blossomed on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes filled with an intoxicating, dreamy glimmer.
Suddenly, she sensed something strange. She quickly looked up, her eyes wide.
Then she saw a Flying Saucer hovering silently above her head, emanating a mysterious aura.
She stood stupefied, dumbfounded. A Flying Saucer belonging to Extraterrestrials? It actually breached the Great Array? I'm going to be rich! If I capture this thing and give it to Brother-in-law, how incredible would it be to fly around in it with him?
Therefore, she immediately shouted excitedly, "Listen up, Extraterrestrials in the Flying Saucer! You're my captives now, so come on out obediently. And from today on, this Flying Saucer belongs to me, too!"
Inside the Flying Saucer, Zhang Bin was dumbfounded. Damn, what a brazen beauty! I was planning to scare her a little, but so much for that idea.
Nevertheless, he said sincerely, "Beautiful lady, I hail from the Sigma Gamma Star System. Are you willing to come with me and be my Empress?"
Liu Ruomei was stunned for a moment, then she became extremely excited. The extraterrestrial could actually speak Chinese and be reasoned with! She demanded, "You are my captive now! You have no right to negotiate. Come out and surrender immediately, or I'll turn your Flying Saucer into dust!"
Indeed, with the power of the Formation, she could bring down the Flying Saucer. Under the terrifying Gravity, it was entirely possible for it to be crushed to dust.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming out. Just try not to throw yourself into my arms when you see how handsome I am," Zhang Bin said with a mischievous smile.
"Bastard! I'll rip your mouth to shreds!" Liu Ruomei said furiously.
But the next moment, she froze as if dumbfounded. The door of the Flying Saucer opened, and a high-spirited youth stepped out. He was so handsome he dazzled her, but most importantly, it was none other than her brother-in-law, Zhang Bin.
How did Brother-in-law get out of an alien Flying Saucer? Don't tell me he captured it before I could?
With a look of shock on her face, Liu Ruomei couldn't help but leap high and throw herself right into Zhang Bin's arms. She hugged his neck tightly and pouted, "You Big Bad Egg, how dare you scare me? Fess up! Where did you get this Flying Saucer?"
"Careful, we still have guests inside. Don't let them see what's going on," Zhang Bin whispered, his voice transmitted directly to her.
Blushing crimson with embarrassment, Liu Ruomei quickly let go of his neck and jumped down.
However, as Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue stepped out, they both had knowing smirks on their faces.
Ma Rufei even added with a grin, "Don't worry about it, beauty. Just pretend we're not here. We definitely won't tell anyone your secret."
"Brother Bin, I'm seriously impressed," Chen Chaoyue said, his face full of admiration.
"Pah! You two, stop spouting nonsense or I won't be so polite!" Liu Ruomei snapped, flustered and embarrassed.
After a moment of laughter and teasing, Zhang Bin put away the Flying Saucer. Liu Ruomei then excitedly pulled him down the mountain, chattering all the way. "Brother-in-law, the village is throwing a celebratory banquet for you tonight! It's because you won the title of World King of Gamblers. You're the hero of our Sanchahe Village!"
"A hero's return! Haha... This is definitely worth celebrating!"
"We're not stopping till we're all drunk tonight!"
The two clowns bounced along behind them, giddy with excitement.
A radiant smile spread across Zhang Bin's face as well.
Moving as light as a feather, they reached the foot of the mountain, where Sanchahe Village had already transformed into a sea of joy.
Today's Sanchahe Village was a far cry from what it used to be. Every family was building a new house according to a unified plan. Many streetlights had also been installed, so even at night, the village was lit up as bright as day.
Amusingly, banners and slogans were hung everywhere—on trees, streetlights, and walls.
"Welcome back, our victorious World King of Gamblers!"
"Congratulations, Xiao Bin, on claiming the title of World King of Gamblers!"
"Mighty Xiao Bin, bringing glory to our nation!"
"Sweeping the world gambling scene, the King of Gamblers triumphantly returns home..."
"..."
The place was truly decked out with lanterns and decorations, brimming with joy. Almost every household was setting off firecrackers, the sound even denser than during the New Year.
Xiao Fang, Liu Ruolan, Liu Xin, Father Zhang and Mother Zhang, Village Chief Cheng Youtian, Mother Cheng, and many other respected elders all came forward to greet them excitedly. They were truly welcoming the greatest hero of Sanchahe Village.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the King of Gamblers!"
"Long live His Majesty the King of Gamblers!"
"Your Majesty, you're so handsome!"
"..."
The villagers shouted and cheered with excitement. They ushered Zhang Bin, Ma Rufei, and Chen Chaoyue to a pre-arranged table and served them hot food and wine. As they ate and drank, they pestered Zhang Bin to recount the thrilling moments of the competition.
Zhang Bin didn't hold back and began to speak with great flair. "That moron Changdao Sheng actually dared to humiliate me! And that idiot Buck dared to scheme with him. Edward, that fiend, was unbelievably malicious... You have no idea how full of themselves they were. They all had the Clairvoyance Ability. Buck even had a bizarre Interference Special Ability, and Edward was even more terrifying—he had a powerful Curse Special Ability! But when they ran into me, they were all dead meat..."
Everyone listened in absolute shock. They broke out into a sweat when Zhang Bin described the most dangerous parts. When Zhang Bin mentioned that Edward had issued a kill order on him, they seethed with rage.
But when they heard how he escaped—he didn't mention his Pass-Through-Walls Special Ability, only that he had impersonated a member of the Hell Organization—they all burst out laughing, some nearly falling over. It was just too funny. It wasn't just them; Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue were laughing so hard they nearly choked.
