Chapter 9 Gamble on Stones Pt. 1

The place for the gambling of stones in A province was not located in a wide field like Stone Gambling City. If you were a novice, you definitely didn't know where it was. Because it was in the stone shops in Antique Street. Various kinds of stone decorations were furnished in the front of the stone shops, while the raw materials of the gambling stones were in the back of the stone shops. There was a special passageway. And one couldn't enter it unless the customer service staff in the shop took him or her in. People who were not in this industry definitely didn't know that there was a passageway in the shop.

After coming to Antique Street, Murong Xue entered a comparatively big stone shop which was called Blessing Stone House. The decorations inside the shop were very antique and classic. There were only a few customers in the shop.

Seeing Murong Xue's arrival, a male servant with short spiky hair immediately asked her passionately, "Miss, may I ask you what kind of jade decorations do you like? Our shop, so to speak, has the most abundant kinds of jade decorations on this Antique Street. We have a variety of jades here, from nephrite of the best quality to common jade."

"Take me to the raw material field." Murong Xue answered directly.

Hearing this, the male servant immediately showed the expression of surprise. Although Murong Xue looked like a rich person judged by what she wore, she was really too young. In the beginning, he didn't expect that this young lady wanted to buy raw materials. Generally, people who entered the field of raw materials were jade businessmen. Most of them were about 40 or 50 years old. Maybe this girl, a daughter of a rich family, only came out to have fun. But it was none of his business. He just needed to do what he should do. Thinking of this, the male servant smiled and took Murong Xue to the field of raw materials.

As soon as Murong Xue entered the house of raw materials, she evidently felt a different atmosphere. This place probably covered 1,000 square meters. Bright lights blazed here. The stones all around were divided into several piles, each of which was priced clearly. Although many people walked around the house, the aisle in the middle was very wide. So the house was not crowded at all.

Just at the moment when Murong Xue was thinking about which side to look at first, her eyes opened wider all of a sudden. Why was he here?

He was Shangguan Mo, the Prince in the capital of the country. The most mysterious family in the five richest families was the Shangguan Family. In her previous life, when she pulled strings for Fang Shihua, she got acquainted with Shangguan Mo's male secretary. She was not qualified to get in touch with Shangguan Mo. She just had a glimpse of him, and his handsome cold thin face left a deep impression on her. Separated from the Murong Family, lots of people gave her the cold shoulder. But, for some unknown reason, only the male secretary of Shangguan Mo lent her a hand that time. She didn't know whether Shangguan Mo or his secretary helped her. All in all, she owed one of them a favor.

But why would he come to A province? She didn't think that there was something special that could attract this Prince in the capital of the country. Without much thinking, she knew that lots of people wanted to flatter him. Just at this moment, she saw that several well-dressed women were approaching him at this moment. But before they approached him, they were stared at maliciously by the woman near him. So they stopped walking.

In the field of raw materials, generally, there would be several women who specifically wear beautiful clothes in order to marry rich men. She didn't know the female partner beside Shangguan Mo. But, judged by what she wore and the air of rich people in her, she thought that this lady was of high status, too. She was surprised. At the same time, she secretly told herself not to mess with Shangguan Mo easily. With her power now, she could be destroyed by him easily.

Just at the time when Murong Xue was observing Shangguan Mo, Shangguan Mo turned his head suddenly to look at her. How sharp his observation was!

At this time, in Murong Xue's eyes, Shangguan Mo was probably 25 years old. He was tall. His slender figure was shown in the bright light. He gave people a feeling of breathtaking beauty. His graceful eyebrows stretched to his temples. His slightly squinted eyes appeared to be narrower. It seemed the heat of all the light was focused in his eyes. The expression in his eyes was so sharp that people could not look at them directly. His thin lips were slightly closed. He was so cold and so proud.

Murong Xue was shocked slightly in her mind. She became dazed for a moment, and then she nodded at Shangguan Mo as a compliment. Although she was grateful for him helping her in her previous life, he didn't know her at all at this moment. It was inconvenient for her to go ahead to say hello. Maybe others would think that she was exploiting the connection deliberately. That would be too bad. She would find another chance to thank him.

Immediately, Murong Xue went to an area of full gambling of stones. She was not proficient in stone gambling. She just knew a little about it. It was only window dressing when she looked at the raw materials carefully. Therefore, she prepared to use her perspective function attentively. She picked up a raw material casually. Her eyes were penetrating the interior of the raw material layer by layer. Firstly, a white stone was exposed in Murong Xue's eyes. As she continued looking inside, Murong Xue felt a little powerless at this moment. Beads of sweat sprang up on her forehead. Suddenly, a shining red light appeared. To her surprise, it was a red jade that was rare to see. Looking carefully again, the interior of the jade was crystal clear. There was nothing impure inside. The transparency of the jade was high. It was a first-class raw material.

She was so lucky. The interior of the raw material she picked up casually should have such superior materials. However, if she tried to observe more times, perhaps she couldn't bear it spiritually. Murong Xue suppressed the excitement in her mind and prepared to stand up to buy this raw material.

But she didn't realize that she had overused her energy just now. She felt a little dizzy when she suddenly stood up at this moment. When she was about to fall to the floor, a pair of strong arms stretched from the side caught her waist tightly and thus stopped her from falling down.

Murong Xue raised her head to have a look, only to see Shangguan Mo's narrow and bewitching eyes. His eyes were as black as the ancient fragrant black ink, which scattered circle by circle. She was deeply attracted by his black eyes...

Her heartbeat went out of her control. It was beating so fast, like a butterfly in her stomach. Murong Xue blushed suddenly. It seemed that she had just realized that she was still in a person's bosom. Murong Xue struggled to stand up.

"Don't move if you don't want to fall down." The pleasant and magnetic voice came out from Shangguan Mo's thin lips.

Shangguan Mo looked at Murong Xue in his bosom. Her bangs were a little disordered. Her face was so red. Her bright red lips were opened slightly. She was like a blue lotus, which was so fascinating and peerless, remained undefiled and pure in the dirty world. The light fragrance in her body refreshed him.
