The first die stopped rolling.
"One point," an anxious gambler rushed to announce the score.
The other two dice were still spinning, with "two points" and "three points" faintly emerging as the trends on their six faces.
Lady Xieleng's smile grew more pronounced; one, two, three, that was a sweepstakes loss.
As the two dice slowed down, the more clearly defined "one, two, three" points came into view, Lady Xieleng said, "Captain Yue, it seems you have lost terribly this time..."
"Oh dear, that is indeed a dreadful loss," Yue Jinghua clapped her hands and exclaimed, "One... one... one, Leopard King."
With her declaration, the second and third dice finally came to a halt.
Inside the porcelain bowl, three one-point hearts faced up, mockingly "staring" at Lady Xieleng.
Cheng Qianshou's eyes were still bleeding when he heard Yue Jinghua announce "Leopard King"; he squeezed his way toward the gambling table in disbelief, murmuring that it was impossible.
