Infinite flow: The non-African's partner is the European emperor

At the entrance of the Ghost Market stands a black stone archway with bright red lanterns hanging on it. In the middle of the archway are the bloody words "Ghost Market".

Chen Xuan really guessed it right. This place didn't look normal at first glance.

The streets were full of people, and the entire street was lined with shops with open doors and red lanterns hanging.

There are different words written on the lanterns in each shop. In the absence of a signboard, the words on the lanterns represent what the shop does.

"Food", "wine", "jade", "clothing", "utensils"...

Entering from the main street, there is a grocery store on the left and a gambling stone shop on the right. There are many players watching something, and they exclaim or sigh from time to time.

They only need to get close to automatically get information about the store.

For example, this gambling stone shop.

The proprietress, Qiniang, was a beautiful woman with a graceful demeanor, wearing a cheongsam and holding a long pipe inlaid with gold and jade in her hand.

The rule here is that as long as you want something, you can choose an uncut stone from her as long as you give her the price.

She won't take anyone's life, and the stones she gives out can contain five-star cards, props, weapon cards, etc.

That's why these players are so crazy.

They stood outside the crowd. Chen Xuan stood on tiptoe and tried to see what was happening ahead. After much effort, he finally saw a little bit. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If Brother Xing were to do this, the boss lady would probably lose miserably, right?"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the players in front to hear.

He keenly caught the words "Brother Xing" and turned around quickly, with a look of surprise on his face. It was really the big guys.

"The bosses are coming, get out of the way!" The guy pushed the people in front of him away.

"You!" The person in front was about to get angry, but when he turned around, he saw the extremely dazzling group of four. He swallowed all the curses, and then, like the player just now, he made way for Xie Fei and the others.

Apart from anything else, they just want to see how the boss will display his strength next.

Especially for the European emperor, this kind of game is a piece of cake for him.

Xie Fei asked curiously: "Brother, do you want to try it?"

"Oh my, where did this beauty come from?" The proprietress's voice suddenly interrupted Xie Fei's words.

She did not hide her gaze at all and walked towards them with graceful steps.

Xie Fei saw her raise her hand as if she was about to attack, so he took a big step forward and stood in front of Zhou Xing, saying coldly: "Don't touch him."

At this moment, he looks a bit like a paparazzi protecting his master.

Zhou Xing lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled.

It's so cute.

Qi Niang was not angry either. She changed her target directly. She ran her fingers across Xie Fei's cheek in an ambiguous way and said in a charming voice, "Little brother is also good-looking."

"Pa." Qi Niang's hand was slapped down by someone.

The person who did it used so much force that the back of her hand turned red.

Qinnan was also a little angry, but she didn't show it on her face.

"It seems she is still a grumpy beauty."

The person who did it was Zhou Xing.

He took a disinfectant wipe and wiped Xie Fei's face where she had touched it.

Qi Niang also saw that their relationship was unusual and found it very interesting, so she smiled and said, "Are you interested in trying it?"

"It's different from what they play." Qi Niang returned to the chair in the shop, crossed her long white legs, and tapped her long pipe on the armrest. "I can play gambling stones with you."

Xie Fei subconsciously looked at Zhou Xing.

Gambling requires a lot of luck.

But Zhou Xing happened to be the luckiest one.

Zhou Xing had a cold expression on his face, but he didn't refuse. He asked coldly, "How do you bet?"

Qi Niang glanced at Xie Fei inconspicuously, with a meaningful smile on her face, "I'll bet on you... a kiss."

"No gambling!" When Xie Fei heard that she wanted Zhou Xing to kiss him, he exploded like a firecracker, his face looked extremely gloomy, "Gambling will lead to the separation of wife and children, the destruction of the family, do you understand! It's better not to touch such unhealthy things."

Qi Niang: "Then why don't I bet with you?"

Xie Fei grabbed Zhou Xing's hand, protected him behind him, and said coldly: "Then I will gamble with you."

Qi Niang smiled sweetly and said, "In that case, what I want is not a kiss, but...your life."

"Tsk, you wishful thinking." Xie Fei sneered, "My life is not something that anyone can take away just because they want to."

He held Zhou Xing's hand tightly, with their fingers interlocked.

Zhou Xing looked at Qinnan with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Qi Niang noticed his gaze, not only was she not afraid, she raised her eyebrows provocatively, and opened her red lips slightly: "Then please!"

The gambling stone shop is filled with raw stones of various shapes and sizes, and it is impossible to see them all at a glance.

The other players looked at Xie Fei curiously, wanting to see what choice he would make.

Xie Fei led Zhou Xing inside, looking carefully at the raw stones, and asked, "What does it take to be considered a victory?"

Qi Niang said slowly: "Of course, whoever opens something precious will be the winner."

Xie Fei stared at us and said, "How do we know which one is the most valuable? What if you take advantage of us not knowing how to gamble on stones and try to cheat us?"

"Have you seen the grocery store across the street?" Qi Niang said, "The prices of everything in the ghost market can be estimated there, and we'll let him make the selection when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around to look at the grocery store.

It was a very small store, like one of those old shops, except that there was a window in the front. You could see an NPC inside, but you couldn't make out his appearance clearly.

They hadn't paid much attention to the shop, but now when they looked at it, they felt that the things inside were not simple.

"click"

Xie Fei felt as if he stepped on something. He lifted his foot slightly and saw a thin, palm-sized piece of raw stone underneath.

"This is it." He bent down and picked up the rough stone.

The players watching were all confused. Just picking up a random piece would do the trick? Wasn't it obvious that they were doomed to fail?

If a European boss picked it up, they would think they would most likely win.

But when Xie Fei picked up a stone so casually, they felt that this sentence was very far-fetched.

Qi Niang was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?"

Xie Fei nodded, not worried at all, "I think this one is pretty good."

When he first saw this stone, he had a hunch that if he wanted to win, he could only choose this piece of raw stone.

He squeezed his clasped hands and asked Zhou Xing, "Will my brother worry about me losing?"

Zhou Xing lowered his head and touched his forehead, whispering: "Don't worry, my Feifei has 100% luck."

His voice was so low that even Chen Xuan and Jiang Zhi, who were closest to them, could not hear the complete words.

Qi Niang sighed in her heart. They were actually showing off their affection in front of her. If she didn't let this boy suffer a little, it would be unworthy of the dog food she had eaten today.

She picked up a piece of rough stone with confidence.

"Little brother, do you want to cut it yourself, or should I help you?"

Xie Fei said coldly: "I don't trust you, I'll do it myself."

Qi Niang sneered: "Then let's go together."

There were two stone cutting machines on the side. Since Xie Fei's piece was a little small, the smallest machine was used.

This is pretty much the same as regular stone cutting.

Xie Fei saw the crack on the edge of the raw stone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and decided to attack the crack.

Everyone held their breath and dared not blink, for fear of missing any exciting scene.

Qinnan was an experienced person and quickly threw away her piece of rough stone.

The emerald green jade emits a faint light, and inside it is a dark green round sphere.

You can tell from Qinniang's face that she thinks she is sure to win.

When Xie Fei had just cut half of the stone, he suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask Qi Niang: "You haven't told me yet, if you lose, what is the bet?"

Qi Niang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you so confident?"

Xie Fei said calmly: "If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't be here to gamble with you."

Qi Niang: "If I lose, I allow you to choose three rough stones from me."

Zhou Xing: “Ten dollars.”

Before Xie Fei opened his mouth, Zhou Xing's voice rang out.

Qi Niang frowned slightly and said in an unhappy tone: "Ten yuan is too much, I can add one more, four yuan."

Zhou Xing said coldly: "Eight pieces."

Qi Niang's temper flared up all of a sudden, and she slammed the table, "You insist on bargaining with me, right? I said four dollars, so it's four dollars!"

Zhou Xing looked at him coldly, and uttered two words from his thin lips: "Seven pieces."

Qi Niang: “…”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and everyone held their breath, fearing that the boss and the boss's wife would start fighting in the next second.

Looking at the indifferent aura on the man, Qi Niang actually felt a little scared. She frowned and said sternly, "No more than six pieces."

"make a deal."

Zhou Xing agreed so readily that I felt like I was being tricked.

"I'm done." Xie Fei had already cut it.

I saw that the surface he cut was pure black, and there seemed to be something inside, but it was not clear.

When Qi Niang saw this thing, her expression changed slightly, which was caught by Xie Fei.

"Let's go." Xie Fei picked up the rough stone and said jokingly, "Let's decide the winner."

The grocery store owner seemed to know what they were doing. His body was hidden in the shadows. He tapped the counter with his fingers and said in a hoarse voice, "Put it here."

Xie Fei's small rough stone is fine, but can Qiniang's big one really fit?

Without giving it any more time to think, Qinnan's raw stone had been carried up.

The grocer touched the cut side with his fingertips, and after a while, he slowly said, "Life Stone, worth 50 copper coins."

Qinnan seemed dissatisfied with the price, but she just looked unhappy and carried the raw stone away again.

Then came Xie Fei’s.

The palm-sized stone was held in the hand, and the pure black side had a mirror-like luster.

He didn't just touch it as he had just done when he examined the big rock.

He knocked on it with his knuckles, and with a "crackling" sound, several cracks appeared on the raw stone.

The entire stone was cut open, revealing what was inside.

A pure black page.

"A demonic codex, sir, would you sell it to me? I'll give you 300 copper coins."

These copper coins are the special trading currency of the Ghost Market. If you want to buy things in the Ghost Market, you can only use copper coins.

Xie Fei lowered his eyes slightly, the outcome was already decided.

"Sorry, I'm not going to sell it." He took the palm-sized page wrapped in black jade back into his hand and asked curiously, "What is this Demonic Codex?"
