Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 73: Dragon Boats Missing in the Lake at Midnight

Late at night, dark clouds blocked the moonlight, bathing the entire Tieyan City in darkness.

Except for a few places open all night such as Chunlou, there are still some lanterns and lights.

The rest of the streets were mostly pitch dark.

For Ding Chen, this could be considered a blessing from God, as it made it easier for him to blend into the night in his nightgown without being noticed by anyone.

The evening breeze rustled the treetops, and the occasional rustling sound was like a lullaby, lulling thousands of households in the city into a dream.

at this time.

On the surface of the "Zuixin Lake" in the southern part of the city, there was a large dragon boat floating, which was thirty meters long and four stories high.

It is the destination of Ding Chen's trip——

Wei Sanniang’s Dragon Boat Casino!

For Ding Chen, who was reborn like a "reincarnation"...

It is of vital importance to Ding Chen to find out the real cause of death of the original owner of this body and kill every murderer for him!

This move, while comforting the remaining soul of his previous incarnation, will also allow the reborn Ding Chen to have a clear conscience towards the original owner of this body.

This is very important.

Because only those who practice Taoism can avoid having inner demons if they have a clear conscience!

More than a month ago, Lu Chang and Zhou Hu, who designed to kill Ding Chen, a native of this world, had already been executed.

Today, the Zhou and Lu families have been destroyed!

The revenge of the original owner has basically been taken.

Now, there is only one suspicious person left: the boss of Dragon Boat Casino——

Wei Sanniang!

Ding Chen has always been clear about gratitude and grudges.

Before this, when Xiao Zhenxiong was about to kill him and everyone in the Luo family, Wei Sanniang had offered to help.

Although it's useless...

But Ding Chen saw this friendship and gave his reward on the spot -

When Xiao Zhenxiong forced Wei Sanniang to be his woman.

Ding Chen used the excuse that "the city lord must not get close to women until his injury is healed" to scare Xiao Zhenxiong.

In the end, Wei Sanniang successfully escaped from the clutches of the city lord.

In this way, Wei Sanniang's "favor" that day has been repaid.

Now, Ding Chen went to the Dragon Boat Casino at night to find this woman, in order to "grudge" -

He wanted to find out the real motives behind Ding Chen's previous life, being beaten out of the casino, and later, Wei Sanniang's frequent invitations to him...

Not long after, Ding Chen arrived at the lakeside and used his Qinggong skills to step on the surface of the lake, walking on the waves like a dragonfly skimming the water!

In just a few breaths, he jumped onto the dragon boat silently.

At this time, he was wearing night clothes, coupled with his unique method of gathering energy, as well as the body movements and speed of the "ninth level of the awakening meridian realm"...

In the darkness, no one could catch sight of this young man!

At this moment, Ding Chen was like a ghost, silently "floating" from the bow to the stern.

Along the way, Ding Chen heard a lot of news from the casino servants who were playing cards and chatting.

One of the pieces of information said that Wei Sanniang suddenly closed the business a few days ago and instructed them, the servants, to keep an eye on the casino.

She herself went out of town to avoid the limelight and would be back in a month at most.

"Wei Sanniang is gone?"

Ding Chen frowned slightly.

"Hahahahahaha, I won again, give me money!"

Suddenly, a small boss of the casino burst into laughter.

As he scooped up handfuls of silver coins from the gambling table, he laughed unabashedly, "Hehehe, after making this profit, I can have some spare money to have fun in the brothels after I repair my weapons!"

The purchasing power of one gold coin is roughly equal to that of one hundred silver coins.

One silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins.

At first glance, the two or three hundred silver coins won by the casino boss were equivalent to the purchasing power of two or three gold coins, which seemed to be nothing.

But in fact, in Tieyan City, those who spend "silver coins" are already considered "middle class"!

The vast majority of people use "copper coins" to buy basic daily necessities.

In the towns and villages surrounding Tieyan City, the poor at the bottom of society are even more miserable, and some even have to use "copper coins" to conduct transactions.

Ten "copper corners" can be converted into one "copper coin"...

The little leader put the silver coins into his purse, stuffed it into his arms, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today!"

"When I come back from a night of fun, I'll bring you some breakfast!"

"I'm leaving now. You guys should be more careful while on night duty."

A servant heard this and curled his lips: "Our casino has closed down. Before Wei Sanniang left, she emptied the entire vault. How could there be thieves who would want to visit our gambling boat?"

"It doesn't matter whether you use it or not!"

"It's just..."

"Huh? You dare to talk back?!"

The little leader grabbed the other's shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"Oh, I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore!"

"Hmph, everyone, keep an eye on the boat."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The little leader was satisfied and walked towards the stern of the boat where the small boat was.

The Dragon Boat Casino is located in the center of the lake, about a hundred feet away from the shore.

This little leader at the first level of the Martial Body Realm does not have Ding Chen's ability to "float on water with lightness".

If he wanted to cross the river, he had to take a small boat.

The little leader who won the money was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he walked: "The girls in the brothels have white bellies, tender legs, brothels..."

“Tap, tap!”

Suddenly, a faint crashing sound was heard.

It turned out that Ding Chen had pressed the acupoints of the little leader, making him unable to speak and unable to move.

With a tug of his hand, he was brought to a small room on the upper floor of the ship like a gust of breeze.

With the help of the stars, the little leader saw a masked man in black in front of him and was so scared that he pissed his pants!

In his opinion, anyone who could board the dragon boat in the middle of the lake without being noticed must be at least a strong person at the "Xingmai Realm"!

If you want to take your own life, isn't that easy?

Hence, the little leader's cunning triangular eyes were filled with pleading.

"I ask, you answer."

Ding Chen whispered, "If you dare to make any unusual move, you will die!"

"If you understand, just blink."

The little leader heard this and blinked...

If a hundred mosquitoes flew past his eyes, he would pinch ninety-nine of them to death!

Ding Chen then untied his mute point and asked him about Wei Sanniang's whereabouts.

"To answer your question, sir, I am just a waiter and I really don't know where my master is."

"Since Wei Sanniang left, several waves of people have come to our Dragon Boat Casino."

"Some are from the City Lord's Mansion, and some are from the Spiritual Pill Building..."

"They searched all the rooms but still found nothing."

"Most of those who have a little status in the casino were captured by the City Lord's Mansion or Lingdan Building and tortured and interrogated."

"The remaining casino servants have basically all run away."

"I am the only one left, along with a few small bastards that the big guys are too lazy to kill, to continue guarding the Dragon Boat Casino and wait for the master to come back."

"I think... the masters of the City Lord's Mansion and Lingdan Building kept me alive just to take a gamble."

"If Wei Sanniang returns and sees the Dragon Boat Casino which has not yet been abandoned, she may stay."

"As for where Wei Sanniang went, I really don't know!"

In the middle of the lake at midnight, on a dragon boat.

Not only did Ding Chen not see the person he wanted to see, he didn't even know where the other person was going.

His originally thoughtful gaze turned a little colder...
