But this faint sheen of spiritual light vanished as soon as it appeared. Hua cheng made some hand signs and before he knew it Qianqiu was already floating high in air, his hands and legs seemed to be bound by unseen force.

"his spiritual energy is sealed. I think that good for now" Xie lian said sighing, Qingxuan nodded getting out of their hiding spot.

Four guards carried new table and set it down before disappearing. All ghosts circled around the table, yelling profanities at the person who dared to provoke their chengzu.

Hua cheng chuckled from behind the curtains "what a lucky catch today, I'll let you all play whoever wins can take it home to roast.

Many winced at this looking worriedly at the prince.

At this cheers erupted in air, all ghosts excited." oh my this gege looks delicious, hee hee hee hee" a ghost woman commented.

"let's roll, let's roll" all cheered.

"what do we do now?" Qingxuan panicked, pacing back and forth.
"Lord wind master how's your luck?" Xie lian asked thinking after a while.

"my luck? Sometimes good, sometimes bad." Qingxuan replied
"mine is always bad, I only roll snakes eye" Xie lian sighed

"so how about it. We're gonna bet on lowest that way no one can roll lower than you"

"Will that actually work?" yushi huang thought.

Thinking for a while Xie lian nodded "lets try"
"Lets win, not try" Qingxuan said before dragging him to the table.

"Guys guys how about we bet on lowest? Betting on high is so overrated" Qingxuan announced making some of them agree. Xie lian took two dice rolling them out on table mentally repeating small small small. But sighed looking at results. He rolled two six.

Xie lian face-palmed himself.
"you can't change your luck just by changing rules. Your luck is the worst cousin crown prince" qi rong said just to get smacked by hua cheng.

"Everyone can I get your attention please? Chengzu said to change the rules" Croupier said gaining everyone's attention.

"chengzu is rule!"

"What are we changing them to?"

"Chengzu says he is in good mood and wants to play few rounds. Everyone is free to bet against him. Whoever wins can take that thing over there"

"what do you mean by thing? I'm not a thing" Qianqiu grumbled pouting a bit.

Learning that they'll be playing  against hua cheng, ghosts started to have second thoughts.

"if that's the case, may I try please?" Xie lian said
"Yes ofc. Please come forward" hearing this all ghosts made way for him. Looking with disbelief, this person gambling with chengzu? Yeah sure he has guts.

Walking forward Xie lian took the black dice cup croupier gave him Since he had never touched anything of this sort before, he shook the cup randomly for a good while and pretended that he knew a thing or two. As he moved his hands, he looked up and glanced at Lang Qianqiu hanging above. Lang Qianqiu stared back at him, wide-eyed and pitiful, but thankfully, he didn’t make a sound. His expression made Xie Lian want to
laugh for some reason, but he held it back. After shaking for a long time, he finally stopped.
