The Evil Emperor Chases His Wife: The Good-for-Nothing Lady Is a Genius

When she first stepped into this place, there was no noisy noise as Jiang Xue had expected.

Instead, there was an extremely eerie and quiet atmosphere, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy, as if the entire space was shrouded by a mysterious force.

Even when they reached the counter, there was still no one in sight.

"Is anyone there?" Cuizhu couldn't help but raise her voice and shouted loudly in this empty gambling house. Her voice echoed in the air, but there was no response at all.

"Could it be that the owner of the gambling house owed someone crystal stones and was murdered?" Cuizhu frowned and guessed to herself.

However, Jiang Xue quickly glanced around and did not detect any bloody smell or unusual sounds.

"Maybe not. There is no strange smell or signs of fighting here." Jiang Xue analyzed calmly.

"Well, since no one is here, let's leave first. Come back tomorrow to see how things are going."

After saying that, Jiang Xue turned around and walked towards the door.

At this moment, a whisper came from the dark room deep inside the gambling house: "Is that the woman that the Emperor has chosen? She is so beautiful..."

At this moment, in the dark and deep dark room, a group of people in black robes gathered together. Their eyes pierced through the darkness and were fixed on Jiang Xue who was standing in the lobby.

"Fourth Brother, go and deliver the crystal to Miss Jiang." The others nodded in agreement.

"Didn't you go to Miss Jiang's yard to report the situation to the Emperor before? You are more familiar with it." One of the men in black robes said.

"No, how about we go together?" The fourth brother said with tears in his eyes.

"How dare you say that! What if we scare Miss Jiang Xue? The Emperor will skin us alive if he finds out!"

In the end, it was the fourth brother who walked out of the dark room with the three storage rings.

"Girl, wait a moment."

Just when Jiang Xue and Cui Zhu walked to the gate, the fourth brother came out with three storage rings and called Jiang Xue.

"Hey! Miss, there is someone in here." Cuizhu immediately covered her mouth when she thought of her slip of the tongue just now.

"Girl, these are the crystals you won." The fourth brother handed five storage rings to Jiang Xue with a smile on his face.

"Are you mistaken? Isn't this too much?" Jiang Xue asked curiously as she looked at the five storage rings in her hand.

"You're not mistaken, Emperor... This is what the girl won by betting. The odds in our store are one to one thousand." The fourth brother said with a red face.

Jiang Xue looked at Cuizhu suspiciously who was covering her mouth. Cuizhu blinked her cute eyes and looked at Jiang Xue, nodding and shaking her head.

"Really? Well...thanks." Jiang Xue thought to herself.

The person standing in front of her gave her an indescribable feeling. This man had a strong aura, even though he restrained his aura.

Although Jiang Xue was curious, she didn't think too much about it.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but look at the entire gambling house again.

Apart from a few large tables, the place was empty and there was nothing suspicious.

Although she was full of curiosity, she knew very well that it was none of her business, after all, this place did not belong to her.

Moreover, she had reaped a rich harvest today. The number of crystals she carried on her body was already quite considerable, and she also had a large number of medicinal pills.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xue finally asked, "Cuizhu, when you came to place a bet, was the odds of this store one to one thousand?" After careful consideration, she felt it would be better to ask clearly.

"To answer your question, young lady, that is not the case. I have observed carefully and found that the betting ratio set by each store is one to one hundred." Cuizhu replied in a firm tone.

"Then why didn't you mention this just now?" Jiang Xue asked with a little dissatisfaction.

Cuizhu looked embarrassed and hesitantly explained, "Uh... Actually, I felt that the man looked familiar, but I was not sure if I really knew him."

As the sun sets and the night deepens, a gentle breeze blows, bringing cool breezes.

Jiang Xue's courtyard was filled with an alluring aroma, as if the entire space was filled with this fragrance.

Today is a special day for Jiang Xue - the auction house has been successfully renovated, and she has earned a lot of crystals from her bets!

With such double happiness coming to you, how can you not reward yourself?

Thus, a grand barbecue party kicked off.

"Wow, Miss, it smells so good!" Cuizhu shouted excitedly, handing strings of fresh and juicy meat to Jiang Xue who was concentrating on grilling. Jiang Xue skillfully turned the food on the shelf, sprinkling some secret seasoning from time to time to make the rich aroma spread even more.

Nangong Jue stood quietly beside Jiang Xue, concentrating on helping her bake delicious food.

"Nangong Jue, you can actually barbecue?"

Jiang Xue asked in surprise, her eyes falling on Nangong Jue and the food that was being grilled.

She kept turning the lamb skewers in her hands, but her eyes were attracted by Nangong Jue's effortless movements.

Nangong Jue was seen brushing oil skillfully and sprinkling various seasonings evenly on the barbecue with precise and elegant techniques.

What surprised Jiang Xue even more was that the seasoning powder that Nangong Jue took out from the underground mall seemed very familiar to her. The use of each seasoning was just right, making people salivate.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but taste the skewers of meat grilled by Nangong Jue, and was immediately intoxicated by the deliciousness.

The taste was much better than what she grilled herself, and could even rival those of the famous barbecue shop owners of the 25th century.

"That's amazing!" Jiang Xue exclaimed sincerely, with admiration flashing in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Nangong Jue was not only handsome, but also had such an excellent talent for barbecue.

Nangong Jue smiled slightly and said modestly: "It's just that when I go out, I need to roast the monsters in the wild by myself to get familiar with them."

As for knowing these seasonings from Jiang Xue, it was she who taught him ten thousand years ago. She said she liked eating barbecue, so he learned it from her.

During this wonderful moment, Nangong Jue, Jiang Xue and the others were enjoying the fun of barbecue, and the distance between them was unknowingly shortened.

They enjoyed the skewers and drank various beverages in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

"I swore that I would spend my entire life to find you, and luckily I found you."

Nangong Jue picked up the cooled beef skewers on the side and brought them to Jiang Xue's lips.

"Try it, it's delicious." Nangong Jue said with a smile.

Nangong Jue wanted Jiang Xue to accept him slowly. Their relationship used to be so close, but now it was so distant.

Jiang Xue glanced at him with an awkward smile, took the beef skewers from his hand, and ate them with great relish, not noticing the disappointment in Nangong Jue's eyes at all.
