YM778.TV Chapter 34 Gambling Time 2
"You....IDIOT!!!" He pulls TanTan’s collar harshly. The man who having a dense beard and thick eyebrows stares fiercely to her. When TanTan becomes so close with that man, she can smell alcohol from his mouth.
"I am sorry, it is an accident!" TanTan glances around to ask QingQing’s help but QingQing seems also has difficulty to approach TanTan for many people between them.
At that moment, the bookie of that table has open the shaker and announces the numbers of the dices, the result of the bet,
"Its 6-5-6, ’BIG!!"
The man who just now almost want to hit TanTan suddenly stops when he heard the result, he laughs loudly and releases TanTan, he even hugs TanTan’s neck friendly,
"Hahahaha....I won, little man...you bring me luck...finally I won..hahaha"
TanTan tries to release herself,
"Ehm...I congratz you of winning the bet, but I must to go..." She almost freed but the man once again hugs her neck,
"Don’t so fast, little friend...bet for me again, I already lost a lot ...so you must bring me luck again...so what do you say? ’Big’? or ’Small’?"
’This man is so drunk...’ TanTan scared because the drunkard’s action is usually unpredictable, but she can’t free herself for now,
"Come onnn!!!!" The man becomes impatience....shaking TanTan harshly as the bookie start to countdown the time of betting,
"ugh..tight...too tight..ugh..." TanTan tries to hit his arms, giving a sign that her neck is getting hugged too tightly.
"What?? Tight? Oh you mean small??...OK, LET’S TRY SMALL THIS TIME !!!" He puts his bet on ’small’ writing circle area. And the bookie once again announces the result of betting,
"1-3-1, SMALL!"
"Wooo..YEAHHHH!!! As a victorious player, the beard man shakes TanTan’s shoulder in extremely excited.
"Oh man...you’re really my bird luck!!!"
TanTan is also shocked for herself, is she really that good in betting?
"Lets do it againnn!!"
TanTan becomes extracted into the game, as she wonders can she be lucky again for the third time, and it does!!!
Even QingQing who is already stands beside TanTan is also surprised coz until the fifth time, all TanTan’s betting are correct and the bookie looks nervous a little bit.
"Well,what this time, little brother??" The beard man who now has release TanTan’s neck, asks her for the sixth time and smiles widely to her.
"Ng...try ’small’ again?" TanTan shows her teeth, smiling unsure...hoping her luck still remains.
"REALLY?...OK! I’LL BET ALL MY MONEY, TO ’SMALL’, HEY BOOKIE!!"
TanTan surprised, she tries to stop the beard,
"Ng...I don’t think its wise to bet all your money...?"
"You are too green, little brotherrr... In gambling, you need to dare betting large!!! ISN’T THAT TRUE ALL???" That question is be responded agree yells and laughs by other players. Seeing the luck of TanTan, the other players are even deciding to do the same bet like the beard, in fact almost all players bet in ’small’ writing circle area. It makes the bookie looks nervous to hesitate opening the dice shakers.
"OPEN IT....OPEN IT...OPEN IT..." All players become impatient and corners the bookie to open the shaker immediately, which he does it and he announces the result in a weak voice,
"Its...s...small..."
Suddenly there is a loud excitement yells from all players who won including TanTan and the beard,
"HAHAHAHAHA...SEE. HE IS MY LUCKY BROTHER!!!" The beard man pats TanTan’s shoulder hardly many times, showing his excitement.
The bookie now feels in trouble because the money he must pay to the players can make the house lost a lot, it cause a noisiness for every players who had won demanding their money and it becomes attracting other players from other tables.
QingQing tries to reach TanTan in the crowd, she shouts to TanTan in the noisiness,
"I think we better go now..."
"What???" TanTan can’t hear her clearly.
"I said...We better leave now!!" QingQing repeats her words,
At that moment, A loud gong sound suddenly occurs and it calms all at once.
The sound comes from the upstairs, where everyone can see a beautiful woman is standing in the middle wide area of stairs hitting the gong which is displayed at that area.
TanTan can hear some people around whispering the name of the beauty,
"Its Lady FengHuang...what a beauty..."
"Ooh, Lady FengHuang shows up...its my lucky day able to see her today..."
TanTan can see how famous she is as the owner of the place, this Lady FengHuang...especially in the men’s eyes.
QingQing sighed, she hits her forehead by herself, gesturing her fear...
"Oh No...its too late!"
"What do you mean??" TanTan confused.
"She is not happy!" QingQing shakes her head, "It can’t be good...you’re suppose not make her angry!...."
"Who?" TanTan doesn’t really need the answer as she can guess that the one who QingQing mentioned is this Lady FengHuang.
TanTan observes this Lady FengHuang. She is maybe in thirties? TanTan is not sure for the woman’s face is covered by heavy make up. What she sees is that Lady FengHuang is so alluring with her open shoulder dress, showing her beauty collarbone until part of her boobs. Her hair is tied in an unique way but so attractive. But what’s more attractive from this lady is her eyes, sharp as a cat eyes. She is looking around and stop when she sees TanTan and the others around the table.
"It seems something interesting just happened in that table, gentlemen?"
The bookie is immediately comes to Lady FengHuang and reporting what just happened. It seems the bookie is mentioning about TanTan and the beard as Lady FengHuang suddenly stares sharply to them, while QingQing seems trying to hide her face.
"Oh,...I see these two gentlemen have come here with a luck goddess. What a waste if you are just playing a small game. How if I invite both of you to play the bigger game with me?" The lady gestures TanTan and the beard to going upstair for the bigger game. The offer is too good to be passed by the beard and it seems the beard has fallen to the beauty easily,
"Sure...why not? Right, little brother?.... We can’t disappointing this beauty lady..."
QingQing shakes her head, trying to give a clear clue that it is a bad idea to continue...but the beard has pulled TanTan’s arm to join him going to upstair, whether TanTan is willing or not.
QingQing whispers to TanTan,
"Don’t worry, I’ll find the way to help you!"
TanTan hopes QingQing really does what she said as she keeps following the beard and the beauty into a big room upstairs.
The room has a flourish fragrance and full of purple colors anywhere. There is also some sweet incense which TanTan doesn’t familiar with. The room might be a private room as there are two bodyguards standing at the door. They close the door slowly. The beauty then sitting on her long chair while she gestures the beard and TanTan to sit in front of her, separated by a long round marble table.
The beard sits in comfort, and pulls TanTan to sit also. The beauty gives signal for the pretty girls to serve drinks to the beard and TanTan, who so insisted to put the glass in TanTan’s hand.
"Please drink...its our special wine! You won’t find it at anywhere...its my special treat as a special prize for your winning just now..."
The beard seems not suspicious at all, he even feels so flattered to have drink with the beauty, he seems knowing Lady FengHuang’s famous name as well,
"What a lucky I am today...to have drink this special wine with Lady FengHuang, the phoenix of this house...Hahahaha" Then he drinks it. "Aah...what a good wine...Hahahaha"
TanTan widens her eyes, seeing the beard finishes drink it.
’Really...this man is dumb or what? How can he just drink it like that? Did he not afraid to be drugged?’
Lady FengHuang noticed that TanTan doesn’t drink yet,
"Oh...looks like this young man doesn’t like my wine? What a pity..." She gives a disappointing face which makes the beard suddenly force the drink cup into TanTan’s mouth,
"Don’t be silly...he just shy...come on little brother, drink it....don’t humiliate me!"
"Gulp!" With that force from the beard, TanTan finally drinks the wine unwilling. She stares angrily to the beard but the person seems doesn’t notices it at all.
The wine in her mouth tasted sweet but strangely makes TanTan feels hot immediately. Her faces quickly becomes red as tomato. TanTan tries so hard to keep her mind clear, fighting the effect of the wine.
Lady FengHuang seems satisfy,
"Now I want both of you to listen carefully..."
TanTan starts to feel dizzy, maybe because she is not a heavy drinker. She can easily become drunk with a low level alcohol.
"There are two things I hate most to be happened in my gambling house....One of them is a noisy player..."
TanTan looks to the beard man, who also showing the same symptom and finally fainted first, while TanTan still can hear Lady FengHuang’s voices,
"...and the other is..... a very lucky player"
And then suddenly her body feels weak and all seems goes around, and then all becomes black as TanTan has also fainted.
Lady FengHuang smiles evilly seeing TanTan and the beard has fainted by her drug in the wine.
"So...stupid... Guards, take everything from them, and take off their clothes. I want them to be naked on the street as the punishment for making trouble in my place..."
"Yes, Lady!" The guards start to take them, when suddenly a man, one of her bookies enters the room in rush and nervously.
"Lady FengHuang, its bad!"
"What is it?!" Lady FengHuang seems upset for the interruption.
"Prince..Prince Li comes...The seventh Prince comes" The bookie reports nervously.
The report is surprising Lady FengHuang a lot, there is a shocking but happy look on her face. She sudden going to the makeup table, looks to the mirror and yell to the servants,
"Hurry ,give me the best dress!!! And fix my hair....QUICKLY!!"
All servants do the order quickly, while the bodyguards looks confused for the changing condition,
"Lady FengHuang ,how about these people? Should we throw them out now...?" They mentions about TanTan and the beard.
Lady FengHuang throws a powder place and yells to them although then she is still focus checking her face in the mirror,
"NO! YOU IDIOT....KEEP THEM IN THE OTHER ROOM FIRST! DON’T LET THE PRINCE FIND OUT ABOUT THEM...!"
"..Ye...Yes, Lady FengHuang!" Those bodyguards immediately move TanTan and the beard into the other room, beside the private room. They are leaving TanTan and the beard on the floor then locking the room.
