Chapter 4251: Ripped Off Again

Half an hour later.

Cold sweat dripped from Long Xiangyun's head. She couldn't help but feel weak in the knees and collapse onto the ground.

She had lost thirteen rounds in a short period.

The little Crown Princess hit Nine Treasures Lotus Lamp thirteen consecutive times, all of them "pure one-suit" hands—either dots, bamboos, or characters.

Long Hui's face had become somewhat numb by the end.

The fourteenth hand, Nine Treasures Lotus Lamp of bamboos.

The fifteenth hand, Nine Treasures Lotus Lamp of dots...

The sixteenth hand...

"Ha, ha, haha." Long Xiangyun, with a forehead full of cold sweat, suddenly raised a hand to her brow. "Brother, brother, I feel a bit dizzy. I, I think I need to rest. You find someone else to play."

Long Hui immediately stood up, expertly acting as he supported his sister. "Xiangyun, are you okay? It might be due to the intense heat. It will get even muggier at sea."

"We haven't even entered the sea yet," Qiao Mu said blandly.

Long Hui chuckled awkwardly twice, then continued, "Well, Crown Princess, I'll escort Xiangyun back to her room to rest first."

"Aren't you planning to pay the spirit coins before you leave?"

Long Hui's back stiffened slightly.

"We played nineteen rounds just now. The total is 16,872,000 spirit coins, per person!"

"Settle the bill before you go. Your Royal Highness here doesn't particularly like people owing me money."

Long Hui stiffly turned his head, looking at the little Crown Princess. "You, you... but you, weren't you very good at cards?"

How, how did she have the nerve to say "knows a little"?

The little Crown Princess looked puzzled. "I do know a little!"

She only knows this one type of hand, so how isn't that knowing a little? She doesn't even know how to win a normal hand. Her mother used to complain about it!

Mo Lian, sitting nearby, was almost dying of laughter.

Watching his wife play cards while sitting beside her was simply a visual treat.

His wife was like a little monster; she got whatever she wanted, and her Nine Treasures Lotus Lamp hands were like a gift from the heavens...

Truly worthy of being a relative of the Heavenly Dao, Crown Prince Mo thought to himself.

Long Hui took a deep breath. "Fine!"

He wore a look of heroic self-sacrifice, pulling out several spirit coin cards from his pocket and tossing them all to Qiao Mu.

"This should add up to 51,000,000 spirit coins."

Qiao Mu nodded, put the spirit coin cards in her pocket, and casually asked, "Want to play again tomorrow?"

Play your ancestors!

Long Hui stormed off in a huff, not only cursing Qiao Mu vehemently in his mind but also berating his sister, Long Xiangyun.

If it weren't for the brainless Long Xiangyun suggesting they play madiao because she was bored, how could they have lost so miserably?

This was truly too tragic!

Long Xiangyun cried, her face a mess. "Brother, I originally wanted her to lose a lot of money to compensate you for the procurement fees you got ripped off for at noon."

Unexpectedly, she ended up getting ripped off by the little Crown Princess again instead.

Long Xiangyun gnashed her teeth, secretly resentful. "She's too good at pretending. I really thought she only knew a little, a novice who wasn't very skilled. Who knew..."

"Shut up!" Long Hui angrily glared at Long Xiangyun. "I'm warning you, starting tomorrow, don't you dare provoke her again."

He had finally realized that every time Long Xiangyun deliberately provoked the little Crown Princess, it never ended well.

Come to think of it, it was always his sister, Long Xiangyun, who ended up getting tricked and losing out.

Why couldn't this thoughtless girl learn a lesson for once?

Long Xiangyun had been feeling frustrated for days, and now she was reprimanded by her brother, who usually doted on her, making her burst into angry tears.
