After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Once you're on his turf, he's the one who calls the shots.

With such a large piece of gold, he was about to become rich. Upon entering the gambling den, she was met with constant noise. The burly men were deliberately separating her from Leng Feng.

"What are you doing?"

Sensing something was wrong, Leng Feng said warily, noting that the burly man also looked fierce and menacing.

"This is also a rule in our casino."

Just as Leng Feng was about to speak, he noticed a few people not far away. "What are they doing here?"

"Are you following us like this to spy on us?"

Seeing that these burly men were still following behind them after they entered the gambling den, Ye Qingwu asked them a question.

The burly man at the head of the group did not respond; he merely glanced at them and left with his men.

But then Leng Feng came to the two men's side and called out anxiously.

“It’s no use,” Ye Qingwu said. “They’ve all fallen under the illusion spell and are completely immersed in this atmosphere.”

"Most importantly, a kind of formation has been set up here. Anyone who steps in will be trapped inside and will not be able to stop until they have lost all their wealth."

Ye Qingwu explained.

Hearing Ye Qingwu's words, Leng Feng couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Your Highness, is there any hope for them?"

"Why have my subordinates not been disturbed by this place?"

"You forgot about that talisman from earlier."

Fortunately, she gave Leng Feng an extra talisman; otherwise, the previous one alone would probably not have been enough to resist the effects of the formation.

She was rather curious as to who would set up such a formation here.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"I asked, Leng Feng."

"It's very simple."

Ye Qingwu's gaze was icy. Now that she knew the secrets of this place, she would not tolerate it continuing to harm people.

She not only wanted to break the formation, but also to take down the gambling den and the restaurants outside.

"Hahaha, I won again!"

As Ye Qingwu was pondering a way to break the formation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Following the sound, Ye Qingwu was taken aback by Ye Yuanfeng's appearance. How could this guy be here?

Most importantly, Ye Yuanfeng was surrounded by a murderous aura. Even when she stepped forward, he seemed completely oblivious, lost in his own greed.

"Raise."

Ye Qingwu placed the gold on the table, and in an instant, she felt all eyes on her.

Even Leng Feng, a veteran of countless battles, was shocked by the scene before him. When these people looked in this direction, their eyes were unfocused, and they could not be considered normal people at all.

It's like being a controlled puppet.

Leng Feng glanced at Ye Qingwu subconsciously, but seeing that she hadn't spoken, he could only remain unmoved for the time being.

Ye Qingwu curled her lips into a smile. This was exactly the effect she wanted. Inside the gambling den, besides the people who were being controlled, she also sensed a gaze.

Someone was secretly monitoring their every move, something that the shopkeeper who brought them there clearly couldn't have done on his own.

The only possibility is the person who set up the formation.

Perhaps it was normal for her and Leng Feng to come in, but in this place it became abnormal.

"Cold wind, just like these people."

Ye Qingwu reminded him.

Leng Feng quickly understood Ye Qingwu's words.

Sure enough, after immersing himself in these behaviors, there were far fewer stares around, and no one came this way, but the gaze from the shadows became even stronger.

It seems they've already set their sights on me.

"We won again!" Ye Yuanfeng's laughter rang out again as he continued to stuff the silver coins on the table into his pocket.

Got it!

Seeing Ye Yuanfeng's actions, Ye Qingwu suddenly realized the key to breaking the formation.

Since the other party is going to hide in the shadows, let's just force them to reveal themselves.

Even when under control, human instinct is to seek advantage and avoid harm.

She took out a talisman and chanted an incantation, and the surroundings instantly turned into darkness.

Under the influence of the talisman, the surrounding evil energy kept converging towards this side.

Ye Qingwu cut her palm and drew a symbol with her blood.

break!

In an instant, the surroundings returned to light, and those who had been staring blankly regained their senses.

"Next..."

Ye Qingwu sneered, and the next second she heard exclamations from the surroundings.

"Oh no! Fire!"

Everyone kept running in that direction. Ye Yuanfeng, who had regained his senses, looked around in horror. He wanted to run outside, but when he saw the people not far away, he was shocked and his eyes widened.

"Ye... Ye Qingwu?"

How could she appear here!

When Ye Yuanfeng saw Ye Qingwu, he felt an inexplicable anger.

For a woman to dare come to a place like this, Ye Qingwu is truly astounding...

Seeing everyone running out, Leng Feng came to Ye Qingwu's side and asked, "Your Highness, let's leave quickly too."

"Not urgent."

Seeing that most of the people from the gambling den had left, only a few of them and Ye Yuanfeng remained.

Ye Qingwu said to Leng Feng, "Take Ye Yuanfeng away from here."

"No! Ye Qingwu, you still haven't told me what happened."

Ye Yuanfeng asked Ye Qingwu angrily, as if he wouldn't let the matter rest until she gave him an answer.

Just then, more than a dozen people rushed in from outside, and the shopkeeper, who was in charge, was furious.

"Fine, I knew something was off about you two from the start, how dare you ruin my business!"

"What are you waiting for? Seize them all!"

A dozen or so men in black rushed over, and Leng Feng drew his sword and fought them.

Ye Qingwu looked around, took out a bottle from her spatial storage, and thought, "Why fight and kill to deal with these people?"

The moment the bottle hit the ground, a cloud of smoke filled the surroundings.

"We're leaving now."

As Ye Qingwu gave the order to Leng Feng, she walked outside, only to find Ye Yuanfeng still standing there.

I really don't want to deal with this person.

Ye Qingwu dragged Ye Yuanfeng away. Only after they left the gambling den did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, only to see that the people outside were gathered there, their faces showing expressions of fear.

"This young lady has made such a mess of my gambling den, and she thinks she can just leave like this? That's not very ethical, is it?"

There is another kind of formation around here.

Looking at the man who came out, he looked to be in his early thirties. The shopkeeper followed behind him, and he was extremely arrogant.

"Master, it was she who made this place like this."

"Did you set up this formation?" Ye Qingwu retorted, the surroundings were chaotic and extremely noisy.

Since this place is restricted by the formation and people can't leave, let's just...

Ye Qingwu waved her hand, and the colorless powder turned into a misty haze that drifted in the air.

Everyone present collapsed under the influence of the sleeping gas.

In the end, only she and the man remained standing there.

"Since you can see through my formation and possess such a wondrous object, young lady, if you are willing to serve me, I will forgive and forget what happened today."

The man was clearly intrigued by what Ye Qingwu had taken out.

"Effect?" Ye Qingwu scoffed. "With your abilities?"
