Chapter 370: Chapter 0370: Catching Them All in One Net

Traditional Chinese medicine includes a bone-setting technique; it’s used when a child dislocates something, an adult sprains their back, or twists an ankle.

What has been passed down to the present are merely the basics.

The truly powerful bone-setting methods can alter the gaps between bones at will.

It can not only change one’s face but also one’s height.

Long Fei had An Xiaoke touch his face first, then explained to her the structure of the bones in the face on spot.

These were things An Xiaoke already knew.

But she was curious about what Long Fei intended to do.

Then she saw him put his hand on his face, a sly smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Following that was the cracking sound of bones, and his square face stretched, eventually turning into a V-shaped face?

An Xiaoke was startled. She stared at Long Fei with wide eyes, hardly able to believe it for a long time.

His original face had sharp and distinct features, exuding a resolute and masculine charm.

But now, it had clearly turned into the look of a young idol, full of a delicate and soft aura.

"How did you do that?"

An Xiaoke’s eyes shone, thinking that with this technique, she could go directly into the business of facial surgeries.

Who would need any bone grinding surgery when you could simply extend the bones with a swipe of your hand?

Long Fei explained with a smile, "There are gaps in the bones, you just need to channel your Essential Qi to stretch or compress these gaps. However, there’s a side effect—your facial muscles will become tight and stiff."

An Xiaoke covered her mouth and laughed. It wasn’t just as he said, his entire face had turned into a zombie face.

Smiling, it looked even worse than crying.

The two did not return to the shop they had run through earlier but instead looked around in the shops behind.

The jade materials in these shops were mostly imported from Myanmar.

Only a few were the nephrite from Western Border, which is different from the jadeite.

Long Fei took a casual look and saw that good jade was very rare among these gambling stones, not comparable to the jadeite from Myanmar.

This was because, throughout the dynasties, there had been mining.

As a result, the good stuff had long been exhausted.

Long Fei browsed through several shops, picking two or three pieces in each, all the size of volleyball.

He didn’t spend a lot of money on high-grade rough stones but picked from the lower and middle-grade piles for several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan.

After picking, he didn’t let the stone-cutting masters start working. He simply loaded up the rough stones and left.

The store manager was excited, saying that a country bumpkin who knew nothing dared to pick at random.

When he went back, he would surely cry his eyes out.

An Xiaoke was responsible for pushing the cart, experiencing the hardships of a maid just like shopping in a supermarket.

They passed by the entrance of the Mu Family Jade Workshop. Long Fei had wanted to keep a low profile and not go in there.

But at the entrance, they heard a commotion inside.

Curious, he took An Xiaoke inside, only to find that there was gambling on stones.

The gamblers, he happened to know, were none other than Sixth Master Tan, Shun Ganzi, Golden-eyed Leopard, and a few others.

With the exception of Ma Kui, several old ruffians were all there.

Behind the Golden-eyed Leopard was a fat man.

This man was someone he had introduced to Golden-eyed Leopard, the former clothing store owner Huang Renyi.

Now, it seemed he had become Golden-eyed Leopard’s lackey, serving at his beck and call.

Mu Tianyou was also there, lounging with crossed legs on a Taishi Chair and holding Zheng Family’s girl, Zheng Lili, in his arms.

On the ground, five or six rough stones had been cut, all of which were counterfeits.

The surface had green, but the green inside was minimal.

Sixth Master Tan’s old face was flushed red, and his hands were trembling.

He had become addicted to this game recently and would come here to pick gambling stones whenever he could.

The money that Long Fei had helped them make last time had already been lost.

According to him, this was paying tuition fees.

He had spent tens of thousands of yuan on something that, once processed, was not even worth a thousand yuan.

Mu Tianyou had Zheng Lili bring over some tea. Taking a sip, he sneered at Sixth Master Tan, "Master Tan, gambling on stones is three parts skill and seven parts luck. You’ve already lost over ten million till today. I advise you to quit while you’re ahead, to avoid sinking deeper!"

Sixth Master Tan ground his teeth and retorted, "I like spending money, is it any of your business? Damn it, if Brother Long were here, he would have recouped the losses already!"

Upon hearing this name, Mu Tianyou’s eyes immediately flashed with a complex expression.

There was hatred, fear, and envy mixed with jealousy.

He patted the back of the chair, saying coldly, "He’d better not come. If he dares to cause trouble, I’ll make sure he regrets it this time."

Awang, having been beaten up last time, had already returned to Nanyang to recuperate.

Awang’s master found out and was preparing to come over to challenge Long Fei.

These past few days, Mu Tianyou had even been considering challenging Long Fei to a battle himself!

Long Fei, listening in the background, couldn’t help but laugh, now understanding the situation.

Sixth Master Tan was so close to going broke here, hoping for a big win with a chunk of gambling stone to recover his fortune.

The largest stones in the middle and lower quality areas were only about the size of a watermelon.

Even if he cut a fully green stone from the gamble, it would only be worth around a million or so.

For Sixth Master Tan and his pals to break even would not be easy.

Long Fei, mingling in the crowd, deliberately called out in the Jinxi dialect, "Who’s in charge here? I wanna buy some stones to play with for my madam, does this shop even do business anymore?"

Mu Tianyou glanced over and saw Long Fei, who looked like a young master but spoke so vulgarly.

He must be a coal tycoon from Jinxi, Mu Tianyou thought.

He responded, "Aren’t there stones all over the yard? Just pick any, and take whichever you like."

"Alright then, why didn’t you say so earlier! Made me wait for ages!"

Long Fei cursed under his breath, appearing unhappy, and strolled around the yard with his hands behind his back.

He secretly conveyed his thoughts to Shun Ganzi using telepathy, startling him immensely.

It felt as though someone had burrowed into his mind.

A voice emerged suddenly, catching him completely off guard.

Shun Ganzi, surprised, looked at Long Fei, who seemed to have transformed before his eyes, and quickly caught on.

With excitement, he followed and pretended to cozy up, even striking up a casual conversation with Long Fei, "Big brother, do you know about stone gambling?"

Long Fei shook his head, feigning ignorance, "What’s the use of knowing that? I just want to buy a few stones for fun; it’s all about luck."

He walked on and casually touched any stone that appeared to have green in it.

Shun Ganzi, of course, knew what it meant and took note of these stones.

In a moment, Long Fei picked out more than a dozen gambling stones.

All of them were of top-quality glass type, and selecting them from the lower and middle-grade areas was no easy feat.

He and Shun Ganzi marked over fifty stones, almost clearing out all the lower and middle-quality area stones with green in them.

Of course, there were no glass-type stones left.

But almost half were of the upper-middle types like ice glass and ice types.

The worst were of glutinous type, each filled with green.

These stones, once taken out and carved by a skilled artisan, would be more than enough to recover ten million.

Long Fei’s own stones weren’t even cut yet; he had them loaded onto a little trolley, ready to be taken away.

People at the scene chuckled softly, thinking this guy was really a fool—grabbing a dozen stones haphazardly and leaving.

Stone-cutting here is free after all.

Normally, people would have the stones cut here as it’s professional and free of charge.

Mu Tianyou eyed Long Fei up and down, then glanced at An Xiaoke in the distance, feeling that this girl looked somewhat familiar.

He had seen An Xiaoke once when he last caused trouble at Hundred Herbs Hall.

But it was just a fleeting glimpse, and by now, he had completely forgotten it.

Long Fei settled the bill, totaling over a million.

Stones from the lower and middle-grade area were all below one hundred thousand each.

Even so, a million was a substantial amount.

His speedy payment impressed everyone, making them remark that money indeed allows for caprice!
