After squandering in the magical accessory shop, we once again embarked on a painful shopping trip.
Of course, this was only for the painful trip that Sandora and I had …
However, compared to how she didn't want to leave at all earlier, Sandora's mood was obviously much better now. She also showed a slight interest in shopping — could it be that I was the only one who was suffering right now?
What was even worse was that Sandora was about to develop such a terrifying hobby?
Unknowingly, a scene of me accompanying Empress Schilling to a foreign weapon market in the future suddenly appeared in my mind. At the same time, the figure of Pandora frantically purchasing weapons kept appearing in this terrifying illusion …
"Sandora, why aren't you complaining anymore?"
I tried to call back the ally who had once stood firmly on the same side as me.
"I realized that shopping can sometimes give me some pleasant surprises."
Sandora revealed her signature bright smile at me. The crystal earrings on her cheeks swayed slightly, showing that the owner was currently in an extremely happy mood.
Could it be that I dug this pit myself?
"I discovered that other than war, there are many other pleasures in life — I originally thought that I would never be able to live the life of an ordinary person."
Sandora's tone was 30% lonely and 70% happy, which made me feel a lot of emotions.
Sandora wasn't someone who only knew about war. It was just that the country she lived in and her position forced her to become a cold conqueror. In the seemingly endless war, she had almost forgotten that she was actually a girl. It was only now that she was able to release her true self by my side. Perhaps, the unsmiling, arrogant, and heartless empress that she usually appeared to others was just Sandora's disguise.
"Now that the Empire has become like this, it's probably impossible for you to start a large-scale war even if you want to. At the very least, for this period of time, you should obediently stay by my side — although it doesn't seem that peaceful by my side right now."
It seemed that the sudden collapse of the Xiling Empire was not without its benefits. If Pandora knew what he was thinking, she would definitely feel awkward for a few days.
"It's already much better than before. I'll just treat it as a normal side activity." Sandora said with a smile. The otherworld adventure that was already unimaginable to me was probably just a game to relax her nerves in her eyes. "Speaking of which, this pair of earrings is my first piece of jewelry. If it was me in the past, I would have immediately destroyed such useless things. Chen Jun, do you think I look good wearing this?"
Sandora touched her earlobe and asked me with a smile.
"Of course, it's very beautiful."
I praised her from the bottom of my heart. Sandora had always been a beautiful girl. It was just that her never-ending spiritual pressure and unapproachable attitude made others unaware of this fact. However, as one of the few people who was fortunate enough to avoid such treatment, I could say that I understood Sandora's true side quite well.
Beautiful, noble, and occasionally, in an inconceivable manner, she would turn into a playful girl-next-door. This was the real Sandora.
"Ah Jun, what are you guys chatting about? You seem to be very happy … "
Shallow Shallow's voice suddenly sounded in my ear. She sounded very calm …
Only a fool would believe that this was a calm expression!
With my back facing Shallow Shallow, I moved my facial features with astonishing efficiency to adjust my expression. Then, as Sandora stifled her laughter, I turned around and said solemnly, "Actually, I was just discussing with Sandora about some important topics related to war and peace …"
"Keep bragging!" Shallow Shallow rolled her eyes at me unceremoniously before turning her gaze towards Sandora.
Sandora, who had always struck fear in others, actually revealed an uneasy expression under Shallow Shallow's seemingly harmless gaze.
However, Shallow Shallow didn't say anything. She only looked at Sandora quietly for a while before revealing a helpless smile and hugging my arm.
Shandora's face showed a confused expression.
I have to say, even Sandora, who was quite astute when it came to ruling, could sometimes be slow to react.
"Are you really not angry?"
I whispered into Shallow Shallow's ear.
"Perhaps I should be angry — — If the three of us were normal people," Shallow Shallow said helplessly, "But you should restrain yourself. You seem to have been whispering to Sandora on the way here!"
I could only nod in apology and put my arm around Shallow Shallow's shoulder.
"Hey, Chen Jun!"
Lin Xue's voice suddenly came from the front. I raised my head and saw her waving at me before pointing to the side.
"Let's go have some fun over there!"
I looked in the direction Lin Xue was pointing at and realized that it was a tall and extravagant building.
"Casino?"
I thought for a long time before I finally remembered the meaning of the glowing words on the entrance of the building.
Although I had always kept a respectful distance from gambling, looking at Lin Xue's obviously playful attitude, and thinking that it was just an entertainment trip to another world, I nodded and led everyone into the luxurious casino.
In this world, although gambling wasn't encouraged, it wasn't strictly forbidden either. After all, in this chaotic and turbulent era, it was rare for people to have one or two relaxing activities. Even the Ordo Empire that pursued the path of the Holy Light would have such large-scale casinos. Of course, the devout members of the Church of Light would never participate in such activities. Most of the people in the casinos were adventurers who had no place to spend their money and might not even have their lives to spend it.
Although it was a completely different world from the culture on Earth, the gambling methods here were not too different from those on Earth. The gambling tools used were also very similar to the dice and cards on Earth. Of course, the texture and appearance were still very different.
On a card gambling table, Lin Xue was excitedly collecting the chips she won. There was already a small mountain of all kinds of chips in front of her. This kind of result was enough to make any old gambler feel ashamed to the point of abandoning the world of mortals and returning to Buddhism.
Since magic existed in this world, the casino naturally installed a device that could be used to monitor magic cheating. However, it was very obvious that special abilities that didn't flow with magic elements couldn't be classified as magic …
I couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy as I looked at the guys in front of Lin Xue, who had just lost their last chip and looked as if they had lost their parents.
Gambling with a prophet, do you still have a chance of winning?
Also, Lin Xue, you really have the nerve to treat that money as your own winnings? You wild brat who doesn't even remember the rules!
Looking at Lin Xue winning handfuls of money, Shallow Shallow suddenly became interested. She pushed away the giggling Lin Xue who was overwhelmed by the huge pile of numbers and sat down at the side of the table.
"Someone else, someone else!" Qian Qian giggled.
The dealer started shuffling the cards.
Then, time stopped …
In the suddenly silent casino, the few of us speechlessly looked at Shallow Shallow seriously switching the cards in the dealer's hand, sighing at the shamelessness of such behavior …
Furthermore, the cold version of Shallow Shallow after her personality change would actually do such a thing, it was unexpectedly full of ridicule.
After another group of unlucky gamblers lost all their belongings other than their underwear, the elder sister finally went on stage under Lin Xue's instigation.
Right now, almost half of the people in the casino were gathered at our table. Everyone knew about the sudden appearance of the God of Gamblers.
There was no suspense in the outcome. Let me ask, who would be able to win against a cunning, vicious, and unscrupulous female demon with dizziness, cold limbs, stomach cramps, and a fixed hand of bad cards?
"Why do I feel like …" The elder sister who was collecting the chips suddenly stopped and frowned slightly. She muttered to herself, "It seems like someone is badmouthing me behind my back …"
What an amazing woman's intuition!
After the elder sister went on stage, Sandora finally couldn't hold back anymore and went on stage.
"Cough cough … Sandora, isn't it not good to let the opponent throw their cards and admit defeat every time …"
After the opponent took the initiative to admit defeat for the third time, I couldn't hold back anymore and said to Sandora through our spiritual connection.
I feel like we are bullying people a little too much.
At this moment, the spectators surrounding us suddenly went into an uproar. I don't know who shouted, "Young Master Tosca is here!" Then, the surrounding crowd, including the gamblers who lost all their belongings and had a face full of unwillingness and viciousness, immediately dispersed.
A young man dressed in luxurious clothes, who could be considered handsome but had a creamy smell, strode in under the escort of more than ten guards.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
The young man shouted the moment he entered. Then, he looked towards us under the guidance of a servant beside him.
