The man realized his recklessness and immediately knelt down in fear.

"Boss Duan, my name is Gou Shi."

When Tang Yue first heard this name, she almost couldn't hold back. Didn't they think twice before choosing a name? Gou Shi, dog shit, awesome!!!

Duan Yu, clearly influenced by Tang Yue, was easily distracted and blurted out, "Your father really knows how to name someone; the name truly reflects the person."

Tang Yue: ...It seems he made that connection too.

"Alright, stand up. Let's make a bet. If you win, I'll tell you whether I'm a gigolo or not. If I win, your tongue and your hands will all stay here."

Upon hearing this, Gou Shi's face turned deathly pale and he trembled all over. He knew he had gotten himself into serious trouble.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but Duan Yu didn't give him the chance.

He stood before Gou Shi, gently shaking his head. "With me, there's no such thing as begging for mercy. It's a choice: either I deal with you now, or I deal with you later. The choice is yours."

Gou Shi didn't even last half a second before shouting that he wanted to gamble.

Gambling offers a chance to win; not gambling means certain defeat.

Gou Shi made his choice, and Liu Dachui had a gambling table cleared out.

Duan Yu faced south, while Gou Shi faced north.

The two of them were comparing sizes.

Duan Yu casually shook the dice, placed the dice cup on the table, and then closed his eyes to rest.

In contrast, Gou Shi was so nervous that he was covered in sweat, his lips were pale, and his hands trembled as he picked up the dice cup, shook it for a long time, and hesitated to put it down.

The gamblers around held their breath, their eyes fixed on the gambling table.

Even Tang Yue stared intently at the gambling table; she had never gambled before and was genuinely curious.

Gou Shi shook his hand for a long time before finally stopping and slamming the dice cup down on the table.

Duan Yu opened his eyes and calmly asked, "Is it done shaking?"

"Yes."

"Then let's open them," Duan Yu said, and lifted his dice cup. Gou Shi followed suit and opened his.

The dice cup was opened, and everyone was shocked.

Gou Shi's dice rolls were average, but Duan Yu got three sixes—a clean sweep!

Upon hearing this result, Gou Shi collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He murmured in despair, "How could it be a leopard? How could it be?"

Duan Yu coldly looked at Gou Shi, who had lost: "Will you do it yourself, or should I have someone help you?"

Gou Shi collapsed to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Duan Yu and begging for mercy.

Duan Yu frowned in disgust and ordered Liu Dachui to lead his men to pin Gou Shi to the gambling table, chop off his hands and his foul-mouthed tongue.

Blood spurted high into the air, almost splashing onto Tang Yue's giant polar bear.

The people in the gambling den were too scared to utter a word, after all, they had just been discussed, but they weren't the unlucky ones who were about to make a move.

After Duan Yu and the others cleaned up the bloodstains at the scene, they casually said, "If there's nothing else, let's start gambling. This isn't a shelter."

After saying that, he took Tang Yue upstairs and went back to his room.

Tang Yue placed the giant polar bear on the soft couch, walked to Duan Yu's side, and said with sparkling eyes, "Big Brother Duan, you were so incredibly cool just now!"

He's practically the epitome of an overbearing protagonist.

Duan Yu reached out and pressed down the stray hairs sticking up on Tang Yue's head, and said with amusement, "Aren't you scared?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue immediately began to feign trembling, and in a coquettish voice, she glanced at Duan Yu and said, "Oh dear, of course I'm terrified! Just look at me, this delicate, frail fairy! Let alone something as terrifying as blood, even the slightest scream would terrify me to death!"

"How come... um..." She hasn't finished her performance yet, why are you covering her up?

Duan Yu felt a vein throb in his arm as he looked at Tang Yue's accusing gaze.

Who taught her to talk like that? Tsk, she sounds like an old monster reincarnated.

"Speak normally to me and I'll let go."

Tang Yue nodded.

Duan Yu removed his hand, then couldn't help but say, "Don't talk like that again!!!"

You'll get beaten up.

Tang Yue looked at Duan Yu, who was clearly disgusted, and gave a cheerful "oh".

Then, standing obediently and looking apologetic, he said to Duan Yu, "Brother Duan, I'm sorry. If I hadn't given you the polar bear, you wouldn't have been subjected to such harsh words."

Upon hearing this sincere apology, Duan Yu proudly raised his head.

"Then what will you do to compensate me?"

"Hmm, what do you want?"

"As punishment, you have to treat me to hot pot next time."

"okay."

"I want the most luxurious set meal!"

"No problem, I'll arrange whatever you need."

"Well, since that's the case... I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Tang Yue clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"What important business is it?"

"Of course we're going to deal with the leftovers, have you forgotten?"

Duan Yu reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, his tone suddenly becoming urgent: "I haven't forgotten, I'm just waiting to see if you have." In fact, he really had forgotten. To him, it was just some leftovers, something to be thrown away if he couldn't finish it. What was the big deal?

"I haven't forgotten, this is my new brain!"

Duan Yu: ...What does this have to do with whether my brain is new or not?

"Hey, take this lunchbox, let's go buy something," Tang Yue put the lunchbox in Duan Yu's arms and turned to leave.

Duan Yu raised his head and followed behind Tang Yue.

Duan Yu thought Tang Yue would feed the food to cats and dogs, but he didn't expect this girl to lead him around buying steamed buns, dumplings, vegetables, and meat.

He looked at Tang Yue in confusion: "Why did you buy so much food?" He felt like he was being crushed by the weight of the food.

Tang Yue gave him a mysterious smile: "You'll find out soon enough."

"What, you can't lift it?"

“I can carry it. How could I not be able to carry this little thing?” Duan Yu quickly retorted. How could a man say no?

"If you can handle it, just follow along. Why all the talk?"

After Tang Yue finished speaking, she went to buy some coarse linen clothes and daily necessities before leading Duan Yu out of the city.

Seeing that she was walking further and further astray, Duan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we there yet?"

"We're here! Look ahead, isn't there a huge earth god temple?" Tang Yue said, pointing directly in front of them.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu looked around and said, "It seems there is an abandoned earth god temple."

"Yes, that's our destination."

"So, you're going to supply these things to the land? You won't need that many, will you?"

"Boring. That earth god temple is already abandoned. Who would still make offerings to it? I'd give it two steamed buns at most."

"Then what are you going there for?"

Tang Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "In that dilapidated temple, there are many homeless beggars. They were all abandoned by their parents at birth, or, well, they are disabled. We give them all the food and supplies we provide."
