374 It's Not that the Enemy is Dumb...
There were a lot of cabins in the cruise liner.
Chen Xiaobei singled out one in random, entered and laid out Emperor Yan and Wenyuan's bodies on the floor. Wenyuan was clothed, but Emperor Yan was completely naked – which was why Chen Xiaobei quickly grabbed some men's clothing from his bag and dressed the corpse. After that, he took the Soul Reclamator Tokens from his treasure chest.
There were distinct markings on the tokens; they identified one as a Two-Stars Soul Reclamator Token while the other was a One-Star Soul Reclamator Token. Chen Xiaobei placed the two-stars token on Emperor Yan's chest and the other one on Wenyuan's chest, before pulling out the Spirit Cage from his treasure chest to release Xiangyu and Wenyuan's souls.
Soon, mystical forces exuded from the underworld. Blue streaks of light and countless strings of ancient characters wafted into the air, as if a spell – or perhaps a ritual.
Time passed, and the characters dissipated. The Soul Reclamator Tokens acted as a medium, allowing Xiangyu and Wenyuan's souls to enter their respective bodies.
Both of them opened their eyes within moments.
"Hahaha… Finally, I'm a man again!" Xiangyu laughed happily and hugged Chen Xiaobei immediately. "My good brother! I'll never forget this favor! Let me cut the crap; from this day forth, I will do anything for you! I'll change my surname if I refuse anything you ask me to do!"
His tone was very serious on the last part.
"Bro Yu, you are most welcomed! We're brothers after all!" Chen Xiaobei grinned brilliantly. Though he had just spent three hundred and thirty-three thousand merit points, what he felt right now was definitely worth more! Those mere points could never be compared to having a brother in flesh and blood!
"Hey, Uncle! It's my turn to hug Master Xiaobei now!" Wenyuan pouted as she came beside them. She appeared more attractive after returning to her body; her womanly features accentuated her coquettish appearance, granting her an apparent feminine charm.
"Okay…" Xiangyu let go of Chen Xiaobei gently.
"Master Xiaobei! I want a kiss!" Wenyuan smiled and ran headlong into his arms. She wrapped her hands around his neck and began to shower kisses on his face as if she was a woodpecker. It was fortunate that she had not applied lipstick on her lips – his face would have been plastered with crimson lips markings otherwise.
"Hold your horses… Are you trying to get inside my pants?" Chen Xiaobei was stunned, not quite able to resist the passionate advance from Wenyuan. The contact from her soft lips was making his blood boil too!
"Yes, I want that! And I want it now – right now!" Wenyuan had never one to fall back from shyness. She always spoke her mind and had kissed Chen Xiaobei when she first met him all those years ago. One
Naturally, it should not be surprising to see her being so forward.
"Alright, time to stop messing around! There are some serious matters right now that I need to deal with, and I'll let you do me when the time is right." Chen Xiaobei said jovially.
"Okay… Serious issues should be the priority. It's impossible for you to run away from me anyway! Hehe…" Wenyuan smiled slyly like a fox.
"Xiaobei… You did mention that there would be some dangerous stuff going on today. Has it been resolved?" Xiangyu asked with a deep voice. There was no need for him to hide his true identity now that he has a new body; even the way he addressed Chen Xiaobei had changed.
"It's not been settled as of yet." He replied, shaking his head.
"What are we waiting for? Who is the one who messed with you? Do you want me to destroy all of them now?" Xiangyu frowned, and a kingly aura leaked out from his handsome visage.
"There's no rush. My enemies are going to give me quite a huge wad of cash. You two can destroy them after that!" Chen Xiaobei smirked evilly.
"Huh? The enemies are going to give you their money? How idiotic can they be?" Xiangyu asked, puzzled.
"Uncle! You're wrong!" Wenyuan pouted. "It's not that the enemies are dumb, our Xiaobei is simply too smart!"
"Haha… Wenyuan has such a sweet mouth!" Chen said happily.
"Not just sweet – it tastes like strawberry too! Care to have a try?" Wenyuan asked, keeping her seduction game on by winking her wide, spirited eyes at him.
"I'll take a rain check…" Chen Xiaobei gulped.
Without sparing another second, he dashed out of the room; another kiss and Wenyuan would probably have slipped into Chen Xiaobei's pants as she intended.
He had just left for three to five minutes. It was not enough for the members of Black Gang to come up with something special, and they were not onto his machinations as well.
"Alright! Let's continue!" Chen Xiaobei walked into the casino cheerily and logged in to the system.
It appears that the Black Gang had managed to dug up with another two hundred million, and transferred it into Qiu Hairui's account.
"Let me be clear, I'll draw first this round!" The head of the Black Gang said seriously. For him, this was a surefire way to win – the dealer could simply hand him the best card before Chen Xiaobei's turn. And he would definitely lose regardless of luck!
"Well, I'm fine with that…" Chen Xiaobei responded calmly.
"I'll bet first too! One million!" Qiu Hairui declared – clearly having learned his lesson this time. He did not dare to let Chen Xiaobei wager first, and it was a rather small bet as well – he was testing the waters.
"I'll call." Chen Xiaobei beamed and placed the money into the gambling system.
*Whoosh*
The dealer shuffled the deck and spread them out on the table in a fan shape.
*Cough*
Qiu Hairui faked a cough and stretched out to for a card.
"I'll draw now…"
He touched every single card but he was not really paying attention to what he was doing. Every bit of his focus was on the dealer as she kept shifting her gaze until his fat finger finally landed on the best card. However, the process was really subtle and most people did not take notice.
"I'll take this card!" Qiu Hairui was delighted, pulling it out immediately and pressing it within his palm.
"My turn, then?" Chen Xiaobei smirked, drawing a random card and flipping it.
It was the Eight of Spades!
"Only eight! I will definitely win this!" Qiu Hairui gulped and revealed his card gingerly.
It was Ace of Spades!
"Victory! I've won! Bahahaha…"
Qiu Hairui leapt up and danced around to celebrate his first win.
"Our boss finally won! Chen Xiaobei must has used up his luck! There is hope now!"
"Great! We don't have to go bankrupt!"
"Boss! One million is too little! Put more in or we will be here for a long time!"
"Bet! Bet! Bet! Bet!"
The other Black Gang associates started to dance around as well, it was as if they could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Three million this time!" Qiu Hairui said confidently.
