The third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~ My daughter came today, fussing around late at night and refusing to sleep, so I only managed to write this much. I'll make up for it tomorrow!

Due to the Gambling King Tournament, Macau has been really bustling recently, especially each casino is more lively than ever.
It's not just the gamblers having a great time; the casinos are also incredibly busy...
Casinos aren't winning money until their hands are tired; on the contrary, they're losing money until their hands cramp!
As the Gambling King Tournament approaches, Gambling Kings from all over Asia are converging in Macau. Although most know they'll soon be eliminated, it doesn't dampen their enthusiasm for participating.
Moreover, only during this time can they frequent various casinos without ending up on a blacklist...
Of course, if they accidentally run into other Gambling Kings, even a small gamble might escalate into a fierce battle, often ending tragically for one side.
But a Gambling King is still a Gambling King. Unless they've lost everything, they can easily make a comeback. Even if they're not strong enough to participate in the Gambling King Tournament, they'll at least make some money.
This way, the many casinos in Macau are out of luck!
However, the casinos' money also comes from those gamblers, and ultimately the gamblers lose the most.
The closer it gets to the Gambling King Tournament, the more Gambling Kings arrive, making the casinos even livelier.
But most people just see the excitement as a spectacle since whoever wins won't share anything with them; they just enjoy the fun.
Qin Fang is the same. The Gambling Kings battle outside has already begun. Just in the past two days, Yu Zheng has taken down three Gambling Kings participating in the tournament, raking in a good haul.
"Young Master Qin, today's gambling match..."
Young Master Liang arrived early. The gambling match will take place tonight. He's now completely at odds with He Feifan, naturally siding with Qin Fang.
"Let's go..."
Qin Fang wasn't worried. While Kawasaki Ichiro was formidable, he wasn't at a level that intimidated Qin Fang. Moreover, this little bastard had already irked him, and he was just about to clear an obstacle for Yu Zheng.
Qin Fang had already cultivated the Snow Traversing Step. What remained was to improve his proficiency, but Macau wasn't conducive for his martial training. He could only wait until returning inland to raise his proficiency.
Putting that aside, Qin Fang's next focus was naturally on this gambling match. Kong Er and Qu Yuancheng were among Qin Fang's supporters, and they all went together to the Grand Lisboa Casino.
The gambling match would be held at the Grand Lisboa Casino. Qin Fang only knew one of the gamblers was Japanese Gambling King Kawasaki Ichiro; as for the others, he really had no idea.
Young Master Liang originally had a chance to find out, but since falling out with He Feifan, he couldn't get the information, leaving Qin Fang to grope in the dark.
However, Qin Fang wasn't too concerned about this matter. A gambling match arranged by He Feifan would naturally favor his side.
With Kawasaki Ichiro being that formidable, it's unlikely the others are particularly formidable experts, much less at the Gambling King level.
With the Gambling King Tournament about to begin, any Gambling King would be very cautious, never joking with their reputation and confidence.
Encountering a Gambling King-level expert prematurely could lead to defeat before the tournament starts, and if such assured confidence collapses, then rebounding in the main tournament would be difficult...
Because of this, these Gambling Kings are more cautious, not putting themselves in such a position for no reason...
Soon, the group arrived at the Grand Lisboa Casino and entered the reserved gambling hall.
The gambling halls at the Grand Lisboa Casino are quite special because not everyone can enter. Of the dozens of gambling halls, at least more than half have been long-term privately reserved.
For instance, the "Gathering Hall" of the Hong Kong Island Dragon Master, the "Hearing Wave Hall" of the Hu Family, and others such as "Green Bamboo Hall" and "Plum Orchid Hall" are all long-term reserved by famous tycoons or mafia bosses from Hong Kong Island, Macau, and Little Island.
Of course, to reserve such a gambling hall at the Grand Lisboa Casino, an annual rent of tens of millions is inevitable...
But He Feifan is the son of Gambling King He, so even with the high demand for gambling halls, getting one is no problem for him.
Especially since tonight's gambling match involves Kawasaki Ichiro, he easily arranged for a gambling hall and set the event there.
The gambling hall is large. Though it only has one gambling table, it has plenty of spectator seats, allowing several hundred people to watch this gambling match.
When Qin Fang and his group arrived, coincidentally, He Feifan's group also showed up at the same time, leading to a chance encounter.
"Qin Fang? What are you doing here?"
Seeing Qin Fang appear, Hu Jiajia was taken aback. She obviously didn't expect to see Qin Fang here, and as soon as she did, her whole demeanor seemed to change.
Originally, she came with He Feifan. The two were an engaged couple, so coming and going together was quite reasonable. But upon seeing Qin Fang, she immediately abandoned He Feifan without hesitation and ran over to talk to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang wasn't alone; Tang Feifei, Xing Jingjing, and Fan Ning were with him, forming a sort of support group for him.
Seeing this beautiful woman, who was no less attractive than themselves, speaking so intimately with Qin Fang, the three girls exchanged glances, each displaying a wary look in their eyes.
Fortunately, Qin Fang hadn't noticed this, otherwise, he would have been perplexed as to when Xing Jingjing had joined forces with Tang Feifei and Fan Ning.
Qin Fang noticed Hu Jiajia's closeness to him and also saw He Feifan's dark, shadowy look in his eyes, which he quickly ignored. Looking at the charmingly smiling Hu Jiajia, the once fiery Little Chili now seemed more like the girl next door, which stirred a sense of affection in Qin Fang.
"I arranged a gambling match tonight, so why wouldn't I be here?"
Faced with Hu Jiajia's query, Qin Fang responded with a cheerful smile. Obviously, she was previously unaware of Qin Fang's involvement in this gambling match. It was also apparent that He Feifan had concealed a lot from her...
This was something many anticipated, as He Feifan was known to be a schemer with a remarkably narrow mind. He didn't quite like Qin Fang, likely due to Qin Fang's relationship with Little Chili.
He organized this gambling match specifically to embarrass Qin Fang, naturally intending for him to look bad in front of Little Chili. Therefore, he hid the fact that Qin Fang was participating until they were all gathered here to reveal the truth.
"He Feifan, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Little Chili was initially stunned, but then she turned to He Feifan with a very unfriendly tone.
Others might not know what this had to do with He Feifan, but Little Chili was well aware since she had already understood He Feifan's character. Seeing the situation unfold, she knew it was He Feifan's doing.
"Besides Qin Fang, who from your side will step in? Will you do it yourself?"
Before He Feifan could respond, Little Chili tilted her head and immediately asked again.
"My master..."
He Feifan was momentarily embarrassed by Little Chili's questioning before reluctantly replying.
If Qin Fang was just an ordinary person, He Feifan wouldn't mind stepping in himself. He was somewhat average—better than some, but not the best.
Compared to those highly proficient gambling experts, his winning rate wasn't too high but not that low either... however, he still had a gap to cover before reaching the level of a Gambling King, who could easily outmatch He Feifan.
If Qin Fang were an ordinary person, He Feifan could dominate him easily... but unfortunately, after seeing the video, he knew Qin Fang was also a skilled gambler, even surpassing him. This was acknowledged by his master, Kawasaki Ichiro, as well.
Knowing that he couldn't win, insisting on pushing forward would only cause more trouble for himself... hence He Feifan firmly decided to have his master, Kawasaki Ichiro, take action instead.
"You..."
Hearing He Feifan's answer, Little Chili's expression turned quite grim.
Little Chili naturally knew who He Feifan's master was, being his fiancée and all, she knew some of his background.
His master was Kawasaki Ichiro, one of the top gamblers from Japan, and among the many gambling masters who rushed to Macau, not many could genuinely challenge Kawasaki Ichiro.
Now, placing Qin Fang as an opponent to Kawasaki Ichiro, Little Chili immediately realized He Feifan definitely intended to trap Qin Fang, which naturally frustrated her.
"Let's go inside first, or else your boyfriend might actually get jealous..."
Qin Fang chuckled, making a playful remark while also casting a casual glance at He Feifan, clearly teasing him.
"Hmph, don't bother with him..."
But being the Little Chili she was, she straightforwardly refused to oblige, clearly dissatisfied with what He Feifan did, wishing to string him up and give him a thrashing.
Little Chili casually dismissed it with a remark, which immediately infuriated He Feifan, though he was helpless against it.
Soon after, He Feifan's expression returned to normal and he resumed his calm demeanor, as if he was unrelated to the matter, merely whispering a few words to someone beside him, leaving everyone wondering what he was up to...
