Chapter 218: Teasing the Playful Scion (6)

"Sigh…" Then came a uniform sound of collective disappointment. Google Search for more reading.

The cut was smooth, but to everyone's disappointment, even cutting along the python band, there was still nothing inside the raw stone. The two sides were a dull, grayish-white, which was a disheartening sight.

"Nothing… how… how can this be…" Hou San stared blankly at the two medium-sized pieces of raw stone, his face gradually turning pale. He hadn't expected that after cutting seven pieces in a row, every single one would be a worthless gray-white rock.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Hou San's temper flared. The stone-cutting machine in his hand swept through, grinding those two half-stones into powder. However, he didn't see even a piece of crystal stone the size of a fingernail inside.

Seeing Hou San's hand reaching for the raw stones on the ground again, Su Luo spoke up to interrupt: "Stop!"

The crisp shout snapped Hou San back to his senses, and he looked at Su Luo somewhat blankly.

Su Luo said in an unfriendly tone, "You've already wasted seven of my raw stones, and now you want to keep cutting? You're certainly dreaming!"

Hou San felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat.

What did she mean, 'her' raw stones? He was the one who spent gold coins to transport them all the way from the Southwest, alright?

Su Luo gave a cold snort, leisurely packed three fist-sized raw stones into a brocade pouch, and hung it at her waist. Finally, she gave Hou San a nonchalant glance: "The Feng Shui in your shop is bad; I'll take them home and cut them slowly. ye yan."

What a joke; those three pieces contained genuine crystal stones. How could Su Luo possibly let Hou San cut them? How could she leave him any chance to turn the tables?

Therefore, it is said that it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty man—especially a petty little woman like Su Luo who seeks revenge for even the smallest grievance.

Hou San watched helplessly as the girl with the small brocade pouch hanging from her waist swaggered out. He wanted to call her back but found himself at a loss for words… The more Hou San thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he gave himself a hard slap across the face.

The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed.

Hou San grew anxious. If he let these people leave and the news spread that his shop had seven consecutive stones without a single crystal stone, it would be extremely detrimental to his shop's reputation.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave yet—" Hou San kept pulling at the people. "The cutting isn't finished yet! Look again; maybe the next one will yield something."

"What, Hou San, you kid still dare to cut?" The old man who was pulled back kept shaking his head to advise him. "Forget it, don't act on impulse; your luck today is really not very good."

No, he couldn't let them leave like this!

Hou San shouted loudly, "Stop! Today, I, Hou San, will cut ten more stones to see if any crystal stones come out!"

Hearing that there was more excitement to watch, everyone stopped in their tracks and turned their gaze back to Hou San.

Hou San steeled himself and personally ran into the shop to pick out a raw stone. He patted the raw stone and said heroically, "stone gambling is stone gambling; since it's gambling, then we just gamble. Now let's place bets: the odds for a crystal stone appearing are one hundred to one, and the odds for no crystal stone are one to one. Once the bet is placed, the hand is withdrawn, and no refunds!"

Hou San had lost those three raw stones to Su Luo, and driven by a stroke of luck-seeking mentality, he immediately came up with this gambling method.

However, the poor man had no idea that because of the Little Divine Dragon's presence, the only three raw stones in his shop that actually contained crystal stones had already been taken by Su Luo. The rest were all… waste material!

If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have used this gambling method, because it was absolutely, positively a losing game with no profit. Unfortunately… he didn't know.

Therefore, one really shouldn't offend a girl—especially a smart girl who loves to hold a grudge.
