In the presidential suite of Yanjing's most luxurious hotel, the Qingshan National Hotel, Zhang Bin, Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan, and Ma Rufei were having a late-night supper.
The table was filled with delicious food. The atmosphere was lively, with wine goblets clinking and spirited conversation.
Zhu Danyan was a consummate hostess, her witty remarks flowing like a string of pearls. Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, both worldly and experienced, told one joke after another. Zhang Haijun, on the other hand, was rather quiet and reserved, only casting admiring glances at Zhang Bin from ti to ti.
Finally, he stood up, raised his glass, and said excitedly to Zhang Bin and Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan, "Brother Bin, you are the world's King of Gamblers, and Sister Yan is the Heavenly Queen. Just going by your titles, you two sound like a match made in heaven. I, your little brother, wish you an eternity of love. I'll drink to that!"
With that, he gulped down his entire glass of wine.
His words were both sensible and fitting. King of Gamblers and Heavenly Queen—how could they not sound like a natural pair? As Zhang Bin had already comprehended the Heaven-Man Resonance, he suddenly realized that this must be fate. Heaven had destined Zhu Danyan to be his woman. And this youth, Zhang Haijun, had just inadvertently spoken a phrase that aligned with the Heaven-Man Resonance? Wasn't this a display of exceptional talent? Didn't this prove he was extraordinary?
He quickly drained his own glass and turned his gaze on Zhang Haijun, studying him intently.
Zhang Haijun was a cultivator as well, having reached the Rushing Pulse Realm and broken through eleven ridians. At just nineteen years old, he could be considered a rare cultivation prodigy. However, if he had received abundant cultivation resources, then he wouldn't necessarily be a prodigy.
This guy seems to have a talent for cultivation. He's very sharp, Zhang Bin mused to himself, keeping a straight face. Many people have talent, but a good disposition is what matters most. Besides, I still don't know if he has a master or belongs to a sect.
A thoughtful look also appeared on Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan's beautiful face. A phrase that invoked the Heaven-Man Resonance like that had a profound impact on her.
She even asked herself: Could it be that I was born to be his woman? No wonder I was so quickly captivated by his mysterious abilities when we first t. In the cave, I couldn't resist him at all, and he so easily had his way with . And now he even keeps appearing in my dreams?
But she quickly snapped back to reality and said with a hint of annoyance, "Don't make jokes like that again. Whether Zhang Bin is the world's King of Gamblers or the Immortal Realm's Immortal King, right now he's just my bodyguard. Not my boyfriend."
However, the three of them just broke into suggestive laughter. Clearly, they didn't believe her at all. Feeling a bit helpless, Zhu Danyan shot Zhang Bin a fierce glare. She had obviously figured it out—Zhang Bin must have let sothing slip to make them so suspicious.
"If anyone dares to leak a single sliver of this, there will be no rcy," Zhang Bin said fiercely.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the three replied respectfully, a look of fear appearing on their faces.
"You Big Bad Egg, your title as King of Gamblers is way more impressive than my title as Heavenly Queen," Zhu Danyan whispered enviously in Zhang Bin's ear. "Plus, you probably have just as many fans as I do."
That was the truth. Zhang Bin had caused a huge sensation at the World Gamblers Championship, which had been broadcast on every major TV station in China, pulling in terrifyingly high ratings. The advertising revenue alone had been substantial. As a result, there might be people in China who didn't know of Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan, but there wasn't a single person who didn't know of Zhang Bin, the King of Gamblers.
n and won, young and old, all found Zhang Bin's charm unforgettable. There were even countless speculations about his true identity. However, no one could say for sure who he was, only that he was from China. The more this was the case, the more mysterious the King of Gamblers beca, making him the subject of endless discussion.
The Chinese are well known for their love of gambling. Therefore, it was only natural that Zhang Bin had an especially large number of admirers. Small statues of Zhang Bin, the King of Gamblers, were even sold on the market and were incredibly popular. There were also small jade pendants of the King of Gamblers for sale. Countless young people wore one around their necks.
In fact, Zhang Haijun had one such ornant hanging around his neck. However, it was hidden under his clothes, so Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue hadn't noticed it yet.
Just think, with a statue of the King of Gamblers hanging around your neck, how could you possibly lose when gambling? So now, in every street and alley, if you looked closely wherever mahjong was being played, you would find that almost every single player had one of these jade pendants around their neck. Rumor had it that anyone who didn't wear one would lose the shirt off their back.
Although Zhang Bin was unaware of this, Zhu Danyan knew all about it. Seeing Zhang Bin's prestige, which was enough to make three unruly, second-generation rich kids so obedient, the power of the King of Gamblers was on full display.
"Heh heh, we are a perfect match," Zhang Bin chuckled wickedly, placing his hand on Zhu Danyan's tempting thigh.
Zhu Danyan swiftly slapped his hand away and shot him another fierce glare.
"Waiter, hurry and get your boss over here!" Zhang Haijun had beco particularly excited, shouting eagerly. "Have her co and share a few drinks with our Brother Bin."
After a waiter respectfully agreed and left, he lowered his voice and added smugly, "Brother Bin, the owner of this hotel is also an exceptionally rare beauty. With your amazing skills, wooing her should be a piece of cake."
"I'm afraid you don't have enough clout for the beauty to show up," Chen Chaoyue said with a wicked grin.
"I bet the beauty won't co," Ma Rufei added with a strange laugh, "unless Brother Bin calls her himself."
Peculiar expressions appeared on Zhang Bin's and Zhu Danyan's faces.
As expected, the waiter soon returned with an apology. "I'm sorry, Young Master Zhang, our boss is currently busy and can't co to greet you. However, she said she would give you a five percent discount."
"I guess my clout really isn't enough," Zhang Haijun muttered.
"Waiter, go back and tell your boss that if she doesn't co, we'll smash up her hotel," Zhu Danyan said viciously.
"Is... is that okay?" the waiter asked, stunned.
"Of course it is. Now go," Zhu Danyan said, her face stern.
The waiter, looking distressed, went to report the ssage. Clearly, the waiter hadn't recognized Zhu Danyan, nor did she have any idea about the background of this group. She was terrified. After all, Zhu Danyan was wearing sunglasses and a scarf, and had deliberately chosen the least conspicuous seat. As for the three jokers, it seed to be her first ti seeing them.
Zhang Haijun, however, was dumbfounded and growing nervous. He whispered, "Guys, let tell you, the owner of this hotel is not soone to be ssed with. She's backed by a terrifying figure who kills without batting an eye. That's why so many young masters who covet her beauty don't dare to even think about making a move on her..."
