Do You Like Me That Much? Miss Villainess

Inside Xihong Courtyard, Mu Qinglan and Bai Yuyu sat together, intimately whispering to each other.

On the other side.

Shen Yao sat alone among the seats, finding the food hard to swallow.

There were eight teams participating in this gambling match.

Earlier, she had also participated in one round with the maid beside her. After the maid was eliminated, Shen Yao barely managed to win.

Since it was a game of luck, whether she won or lost, Shen Yao wouldn't have much emotional reaction.

But when she saw those two being all lovey-dovey together.

Shen Yao's brow furrowed.

'When did their relationship become so good? I remember they weren't this intimate when we arrived, now they're practically glued together!' the big iceberg thought to herself.

Yoo Shi was also quite resentful.

Here, she was always the one flirting with others—when had she ever played wingman for someone else?

Directly across, Sun Zhu watched those two's relaxed and carefree manner, as if they didn't take him seriously at all, and began to feel uncertain.

He had previously thought Mu Qinglan was just a pretty vase.

One that would shatter at a touch.

But now he wasn't so sure. In gambling, winning and losing were normal, but mainly she was just too calm.

"Do you think she might be playing dumb to catch the wise?" he whispered to the slightly chubby man beside him.

The fat man also hesitated: "Doesn't seem like it... didn't you say she's a princess? There are indeed quite a few people in the city with better gambling skills than me, but that definitely wouldn't include a princess."

Hilarious.

If Mu Qinglan knew these two were pondering her gambling skills, she might have to mislead them properly.

Her gambling was entirely based on cheating—she was never inferior to anyone.

Dealer, reveal the cup!

"They won another round, does that mean they qualified for the finals?" Bai Yuyu looked outside the curtain, puzzled.

"Just another defeated opponent," Mu Qinglan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Bai Yuyu's face lit up with a smile again:

"Mu Mu, you're so reliable, I love you to death. But how did you all win? Didn't they say this was a game entirely based on luck? Why can you keep winning like this?"

Although they had only won two rounds, Bai Yuyu already regarded Mu Qinglan as a great master who could keep winning.

Over there.

Although Bai Yuyu really disliked Sun Zhu, that arrogant guy, she had to admit he did have some skill—he hadn't lost once so far.

Mu Qinglan thought for two seconds, tilted her head and made something up:

"Look, the dealer hasn't changed the dice from beginning to end, and each time different numbers are rolled, there are different sounds. Listen a few times, remember them, then carefully distinguish—you can roughly guess the range of numbers."

Her expression was serious as she seriously made things up.

Come on, how would she know how to win?

Don't ask her about her hacks.

If Bai Yuyu insisted on asking, Mu Qinglan could only use theories she'd heard online in her previous life to bullshit.

Seeing Bai Yuyu about to ask more, Mu Qinglan quickly pinched her cheeks: "It's almost our turn again, you should focus on that instead."

"Let me see," Bai Yuyu's big eyes looked around, then suddenly turned back and whispered:

"The next opponent seems to be Senior Sister."

"So what if it's her?" Content orıginally comes from novel⚑fire.net

Bai Yuyu grinned:

"I'm just afraid you might go easy on her, hehe, she's your rumored girlfriend after all~"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to gently poke Mu Qinglan's calm cheek with her fair, delicate finger, as if it was very amusing.

"You call the number."

"Oh right, I call the number!" Bai Yuyu's eyes nearly curved into crescents, "What number should I say, Mu Mu?"

"Six, isn't that your lucky number?"

"You still remember."

"Of course."

"Then we'll go with... Six!"

Beside them, Shen Yao glanced at them indifferently and casually called out a number.

As expected, hacker Miss Mu Qinglan smoothly won without leaving any suspense.

"Thanks, Senior Sister! I'll carry on Senior Sister's will!"

Shen Yao looked at Bai Yuyu's cute smile, feeling inexplicably annoyed, and lightly snorted.

You're only happy now.

Once the bad woman deceives you, you'll have plenty to cry about.

At this time, Yoo Shi stood up, clapped twice to attract everyone's attention, then smiled:

"It seems the two final teams have emerged, and they happen to be the teams with the two constables."

"So you two, shall we continue?"

Sun Zhu looked grim:

"Continue!"

He didn't think he would lose, but he didn't dare underestimate his opponent either.

"Let's continue."

Mu Qinglan silently withdrew her gaze from Shen Yao's pretty profile, smiled soundlessly, and pondered thoughtfully—she seemed quite unhappy.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the pavilion.

—Sun Zhu lost without surprise.

The moment the dealer revealed the dice cup, Sun Zhu's face instantly turned purple.

"How does she deserve this?!"

The slightly chubby man beside him also looked grave.

This had to be skill—there was no such luck in the world.

From beginning to end, neither of them suspected that Mu Qinglan had colluded with Xihong Courtyard to deliberately cheat at gambling.

Because if you had the connections to make people cheat for you, couldn't you just directly take what you wanted? Why play house with them here?

Wasn't that just being masochistic?

"It's up to you!"

Sun Zhu said helplessly.

Everyone burst into uproar.

And unlike the earlier disappointment at missing entertainment, this time everyone was truly shocked—a sickly wheelchair gambling saint?

Yoo Shi was even more speechless.

She knew what was going on, but couldn't say.

"Wuhu~"

The little girl happily clapped her hands, her lively little eyes nearly disappearing from smiling, feeling that winning or losing didn't matter—this trip was really so much fun!

Thanks to Mu Mu!

And in the distant Six Bureaus in the city, looking at the information handed over by spies, Su He's face broke into a smile.

"Take a look?"

He said, passing the results to the other party.

"Hmph! Useless!"

Guardian Wang glanced over and said somewhat angrily.

To be fair, as a third-rank royal guardian, he indeed didn't lack this one Heavenly Flower Treasure Pill, but damn it, this old gambler was too useless—how could he not even beat a novice princess?

Was there really such a thing as a natural gambling saint in the world?

Taking a deep breath, Guardian Wang resumed his previous expression and said coldly:

"Isn't there still Sun Zhu's teammate? According to information, he's an old hand who's been playing in Tianyin Ward for over ten years. Let's see if your disciple can beat him first!"

"True."

Su He looked at the other's uncomfortable expression, feeling great.

According to the theory of relative moods.

When someone feels great, someone else feels terrible.

Also learning about the on-site situation from spy information, while Su He felt good, the Crown Prince's mood was quite bad.

"What is Sun Zhu doing?!"

He raged, sweeping his sleeves as he looked at his advisors.

"This gambling depends a lot on luck, Your Highness. It's not strange for Constable Sun to occasionally have bad luck!"

"Yes, yes."

The advisors quickly said.

"Besides, Your Highness, isn't your retainer Fat Li there? He and Constable Sun both frequent brothels and happen to be skilled at gambling. Once he takes action, defeating Prince Qi's county princess will surely be effortless!"

"Hah... true."

Thinking of that Fat Li's track record, the Crown Prince exhaled:

"With him there, beating some little girl with better luck—what's that worth?"
