"If you don't come in yourself, my fellow Daoist, you would never imagine that the Heavenly Court would have such a place!"

Enthused after seeing Yu Yuan's bag full of heavenly gold, Tianpeng became extremely passionate, leading the way and chuckling as he began to give an introduction.

"In this place, whether they are Bodhisattvas from the Western regions or Immortals from the East, as long as they have enough heavenly gold and earth silver with them, they can enjoy..."

Yu Yuan followed Tianpeng to the Floating Immortal Island, where numerous pavilions, towers, and Immortal Palaces were scattered in the air like a dreamy illusion amidst swirling, mist-like clouds.

These Immortal Palaces were not connected. Instead, they were divided into many separate courtyards.

Under Tianpeng's guidance, Yu Yuan arrived in front of an elegant courtyard.

Glancing through the wide-open gate, he saw a miniature version of heaven and earth within, with a collection of mountains and picturesque scenery.

Vaguely, one could see a group of Fairies dancing within, like petals swirling in the wind.

The Immortal Robes they draped over themselves were as light as silk, fluttering with their dance moves, revealing their slender and enchanting figures.

Melodious music filled the air, soft and pleasant to the ears, accompanying the fairies' dance, akin to the sound of heavenly music. With their delicate hands, they traced through the air with graceful and elegant movements, as if they were butterflies weaving through flowers, or lotuses blooming on the water.

Even someone as well-traveled as Yu Yuan couldn't help but take several more glances.

At that moment, a faint fragrance diffused around him.

Yu Yuan's heart chilled, and the image of a pair of angry phoenix eyes naturally appeared in his mind, as if a voice was berating: At this hour, you still have the mood to indulge in music and dance?

"My fellow Daoist, there are two female Bodhisattvas in this courtyard. It's perfect for us, one for each. Shall we choose this place?" Seeing Yu Yuan looking into the courtyard, Tianpeng smiled ambiguously and said, "Of course, we'll let you pick first..."

Before he could finish, Yu Yuan cut in directly: "Let's not pick just yet, take me to the gambling house for a look."

Tianpeng shook his head and frowned, "There's nothing worth seeing there; those female Bodhisattvas are much more entertaining. It would be better for you to not get involved with that stuff."

Yu Yuan smiled and said, "There's still plenty of time; let's go and play a few hands first."

Seeing Yu Yuan insist on going to the gambling house, Tianpeng had no choice but to nod, "Alright, you can go have a few rounds of fun; I'll pass."

The gambling house was also situated on this Floating Immortal Island.

When Yu Yuan and Tianpeng arrived at the gambling house, they were immediately stunned by the sight before them. The gambling house was illuminated by dazzling lights, filled with a noisy and excited atmosphere.

At the center of the hall, there was a huge gambling table covered with luxurious red velvet. Around it were a variety of sumptuous delicacies and drinks, tempting enough to make one drool.

Nearly every gambling table was crowded with beings, with Immortal Gods, demons, humans, and so on, from all walks of life.

The gambling table was engraved with exquisite Immortal scripts and symbols, signifying different games and stakes. Some people were placing their bets vigorously, anxiously awaiting the outcome, while others were beaming with joy, with triumphant expressions on their faces.

All sorts of sounds and emotions filled the gambling house.

The cheers of people, noise, and hustle and bustle of bets melded into one.

Hanging above was a giant Heavenly Curtain, painted with auspicious clouds, Golden Dragons, and Jade Phoenixes, and other auspicious patterns.

The surroundings of the gambling house were fully equipped, and all the waitstaff, wearing feathered apparel and dressed beautifully, were Immortals who ensured the customers were fully indulged and comfortable.

Describing the scene as a pond of wine and a forest of meat was by no means an exaggeration.

The entire gambling house was permeated with a sense of excitement and danger.

Whether they were Immortal Gods or mortals, as long as they had the means to come here, in possession of Incense Bronze, Earth Silver, and heavenly gold, they could fully unleash their desires and chase after possible victories.

However, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this gambling house was like an Enchantment Formation.

Once anyone falls into its grip, it is difficult to extricate themselves.

Yu Yuan intended to observe a bit longer, but Tianpeng beside him had already grown impatient, saying, "What's so interesting about this compared to lady Bodhisattva? My friend, perhaps you shouldn't look anymore. It's nothing good; we're here to enjoy ourselves…"

"Don't rush."

Yu Yuan shook his head and continued to watch the gambling den.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a gambling table.

At a corner of that table, he saw a familiar figure.

Zhao Gongming, the Jie Sect's senior external disciple!

However, the Zhao Gongming before him was vastly different from the one in Yu Yuan's memory.

The Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming in his recollection had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a magnificent appearance, and was generous and straightforward.

But the Zhao Gongming he saw now had unkempt beard, haggard looks, and his clothes were disheveled without his own realization. He was holding a liquor jar, libating carelessly, and with his other hand continually shaking the dice cup, shouting, "Today, this lord is the dealer. I'll cover all bets, big or small, those not afraid of dying, come make your bets!"

Yu Yuan frowned slightly, and the voice of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother echoed in his heart.

"How did he end up like this?"

Now, Zhao Gongming's eyes no longer shone brightly, nor did they retain the confidence of past days.

He was like a drunken gambler, recklessly pursuing the illusions of victory in a state between stupor and dreaming.

Although he had been titled as the God of Wealth, it seemed that fate was not favoring him.

As the dealer, he would often win little and lose much.

Seeing that Zhao Gongming's chips on the table were rapidly dwindling, the gambling den's manager intervened.

The manager was a burly middle-aged man with sharp eyes, seemingly an important figure in the gambling den.

He stepped forward to stop the betting and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "God of Wealth Zhao, you no longer have the chips to continue being the dealer."

Zhao Gongming, engrossed in his gambling, felt his expression darken upon hearing this, and said irritably, "Who do you think you are? Call your owner over to talk!"

Someone who had just won money sided with him, saying, "Exactly, exactly! He's the God of Wealth, with ample gold from Heaven and silver from Earth. Would he lack what you have?"

The manager did not get angry, still looking at Zhao Gongming and replying, neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The words I've just spoken were exactly what my master told me to say."

Zhao Gongming's expression grew colder as he said in a deep voice, "Tell your master, to use my Spiritual Treasure as a pledge and get a million Heaven Gold for me!"

"Hehe~"

The manager chuckled lightly, looking at Zhao Gongming and saying, "God of Wealth Zhao, please don't joke. If you still had those twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls in your hands, not to mention a million Heaven Gold, we could get even more for you.

But now, I'm afraid all you have left is a Golden Whip, right?

Even for ten thousand Heaven Gold, I would find it a loss!"

"You… how dare you insult me!"

Enraged, Zhao Gongming suddenly revealed a Golden Whip in his hand, startling the Immortal Gods around.

Yet the manager remained calm, smiling and saying, "I'm merely stating the plain truth; why should God of Wealth Zhao get angry? Besides, even if you beat me up, won't you still have to endure the punishment of the Divine Beating Whip?

Why make things so unpleasant for yourself?"
