Chapter 563, Lost?

“Continue!” After taking a deep breath, Qin Yichen’s palms slowly loosened. He extended his arm and made a gesture of invitation to the crystal cutter, but his hands, which had been gripped so tightly they had turned somewhat pale and were still trembling slightly, made the smile on Ouyang Haotian’s face even more pronounced.

 

The crystal cutter glanced at the manager, then nodded and picked up the last Shooting Star Spirit Crystal beside the Spirit Dissipation Crystal, before beginning the cutting.

 

*Swish! Swish!*

 

The result was still unsurprising—this piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals also turned into a pile of waste fragments that scattered on the ground.

 

“Just hurry up and crawl out of here!”

 

As the waste fragments fell, Ouyang Wensu suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with mad laughter.

 

Being humiliated by a young man not even twenty years old, having his Crystal Appraisal Technique questioned, and being completely outmatched in verbal sparring.

 

Now, he had finally waited for this moment!

 

Finally, he could make this extremely punchable-looking guy roll out on the spot.

 

The manager of Water Moon Crystal House’s lips moved, but in the end, he did not step forward. After all, the result was clear—the goddess of fortune had not descended upon this young man as she had in the past. He had lost!

 

“From the first time I saw this young man, I knew his fate would be like this. So arrogant. Having one stroke of good luck was already thanks to his Ancestors’ virtue. To actually compete with Ouyang Wensu, he’s truly seeking death!”

 

“Haha, I came all this way just to see this young man make a fool of himself in front of two beauties!”

 

“Hurry up and crawl out…”

 

The Nobles on the second floor also mocked him one after another. Among them were even those who had deliberately guided Qin Yichen to purchase Shooting Star Spirit Crystals earlier—clearly, they had all been pointing randomly.

 

Ouyang Haotian sat quietly on his chair, leisurely holding a cup of fine tea and taking light sips.

 

At this point, he did not need to worry about anything. Plenty of spectators would help him handle the rest.

 

“Are you all blind?”

 

Amidst the overwhelming ridicule and laughter, a voice that seemed to be from someone driven to anger and embarrassment suddenly rang out. The speaker was none other than Qin Yichen!

 

“Can’t you see there’s still one more left? That one cost me over a million gold coins—it’s my grand finale treasure, the thing that will bring me certain victory!”

 

As if driven by the overwhelming mockery, Qin Yichen’s face had reddened somewhat. At this moment, he was pointing at the Spirit Dissipation Crystal with a crack and loudly argued.

 

“Haha, you fool! Are you blind? Don’t you even recognise a Spirit Dissipation Crystal when you see one?”

 

“He really is a fool. Look at his appearance—he’s already driven to desperation, haha. Someone without even basic common sense dares to challenge Ouyang Wensu!”

 

“Hurry up and crawl out of here, we’ve been waiting all day for you!”

 

Qin Yichen’s argumentative words immediately caused many Nobles to become angry again. Led by Ouyang Wensu, numerous gamblers cracked their knuckles, adopting an attitude that if Qin Yichen did not act, they would help him start rolling.

 

“Manager, you must stand up for me! They’re about to resort to violence!”

 

Faced with the men cracking their knuckles one by one, a look of fear flashed across Qin Yichen’s face. Then, under numerous astonished gazes, he flashed behind Shen Ling and Gongshu Zhiyi, poking his head out from between the two women’s fragrant shoulders and calling out pitifully to the manager.

 

Seeing his shameless behaviour, numerous Nobles’ eyes blazed with fire. At such a time, he had actually hidden behind women!

 

Even more alarming was that these two women were both absolutely beautiful, and among them, Gongshu Zhiyi’s pair of adorable large eyes blinking gently made everyone feel their protective instinct surge.

 

Yet this shameless guy had actually run behind such cute and beautiful women, using them as Human shields!

 

“Too shameless! Too despicable!”

 

“This person can’t be a Noble! If he is, he is a true disgrace!”

 

Although the numerous Nobles were angry in their hearts, in front of two stunning beauties, they restrained their previous crude behaviour considerably, each shaking their heads on the spot and adopting gentlemanly appearances.

 

Clearly, they all wanted the two beauties to see Qin Yichen’s true nature and quickly throw themselves into their arms!

 

*Haaa…*

 

Regarding Qin Yichen’s behaviour, the manager simply could not help but shake his head secretly. However, there was indeed still one Shooting Star Spirit Crystal on the table, and even though it had been personally acknowledged by Divine Appraiser Ouyang Zhutian, due to the rules, it still had to be opened before the result could be determined.

 

“*Ahem…* There’s still one piece left that hasn’t been cut…”

 

The manager coughed dryly and said. When saying this, his cheeks also burned with embarrassment, as if he could feel mocking gazes staring at him.

 

After all, it was a Spirit Dissipation Crystal. Even if there were Spirit Seeds inside, they would have long since dissipated and become waste products. This was hardly a secret.

 

It was precisely because the aura on this Spirit Dissipation Crystal was extremely rich that they had priced it at over a million gold coins, but even the manager had never hoped this Spirit Dissipation Crystal would actually sell.

 

Under the manager’s indication, the crystal cutter began to prepare for crystal cutting, though somewhat reluctantly.

 

The Spirit Dissipation Crystal was several times larger than ordinary Shooting Star Spirit Crystals and would be extremely laborious to cut, so he was rather unwilling to waste time and energy on it.

 

“Wait a moment!”

 

Just as the crystal cutter was about to begin, a voice suddenly rang out. Looking over, it was that detestable face emerging from between those two fragrant shoulders that made numerous nobles envious.

 

“What other nonsense do you have to say!?”

 

“Stop dawdling and get on with it already!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen speak again, Ouyang Wensu and numerous Nobles scolded him with dissatisfaction.

 

“Well, if I don’t cut this piece, then it doesn’t count as my losing, right?”

 

Under numerous mocking and disgusted gazes, Qin Yichen smacked his lips and said timidly.

 

“Impossible!” As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Wensu loudly refused.

 

At this moment, he had a belly full of rage, but seeing Qin Yichen’s appearance, a perverted pleasure arose in his heart.

 

Regretting only when death was imminent? Too late!

 

“Well, then I won’t open it. I won’t open it unless… we change the conditions…”

 

Qin Yichen shook his head like a rattle drum, looking completely roguish. What made people even more furious was that as his head swayed, he kept bumping into the two stunning beauties, making both women’s pretty faces flush red.

 

“This bastard!”

 

Numerous gamblers were filled with anger and jealousy. At this moment, they were even more determined to make Qin Yichen lose face!

 

Ouyang Wensu’s teeth ground audibly, as if Qin Yichen had bedded his woman. Meanwhile, Ouyang Haotian wore a face full of smiles—the more roguish Qin Yichen acted, the happier he became.

 

When this matter reached the Feng Family’s ears, he would like to see what face Qin Yichen would have left to maintain any connection with the Feng Family!
