It wasn't easy to make his wife show her face outside of home, let alone entering a low-class casino. It seemed like Ye Yin Mo could still be saved, unlike other men who were older than him. Xiaoyu had a good impression of the Night Demon, and even liked the generous person in front of her, who she had just met not long ago.

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. Sit down! " When the princess took her seat, the woman refused. Her beautiful phoenix eyes stared at the princess who was helping her, and she gently patted his hand away.

Ye Mo was somewhat embarrassed, but soon regained his composure.

The Night Demon acted as if she had a heart of her own and ignored the disgust in her eyes. She pretended to call for a few maidservants to come in and serve them.

To put it more accurately, she could be considered the former princess of Night Demon. Her name was Yan Yu, and she could also be considered a woman with experience in the world. Her original family was a rich jade merchant, and her own family had opened many brothels and gambling houses. Before she was even old enough to grow up, her father found out that she was extremely intelligent, so he called up some businesses for her to manage, including the number one gambling house in the world, the "Heroic Tower". The people who entered the second floor were all the heroes of the martial arts world or wealthy merchants, so naturally, they were a tier higher than the other gambling houses.

Yan Yu's gambling skills were exceptional, and she was considered an expert in the heroic pavilion. Because of her beauty, everyone gave her the title of 'fairy in the gambling house'. Whenever she opened a table to set up a shop, there would always be talented young people that would bring in good fortune. They all wanted to laugh at a beauty and intentionally lose to her to win her favor. She had chosen the Night Demon not because of his identity as the eighth prince, but because he was the first person who dared to be serious with her at the gambling table, even though he had lost.

There was a condition for her to be married off to a concubine. First, she wouldn't allow him to have three wives or four concubines, and secondly, she wouldn't allow him to control her. Third, even if she was a consort, she would never stay in the palace with the weak ladies and madams who would enjoy the flowers and tea. She would still take care of the dowry, the "chivalrous pavilion", and other businesses that Lord Yan had given her.

I can get money for my purse, and I really like to gamble with Yan Yu on the table. However, she had to keep her business affairs a secret from others, and couldn't let anyone else find out that the grand eighth princess came in and out of the brothel, or the gambling house, or even had dealings with men. In addition, she wasn't marrying into the Imperial Family as a daughter of the wealthy Yan family, but as a commoner. Thus, during their marriage, no one knew about the eighth princess' business affairs, not even the emperor.

But the good times did not last long. Within a year, she had betrayed her and taken the Prime Minister's daughter as a secondary wife. Yan Yu's temper was like raging fire. She wrote a letter and broke off the relationship between husband and wife. Now she was no more than a friend to him, and Nocturnal was no more than a playmate at her gambling table.

Little Fishy's new game was used by Night Demon as a bargaining chip for her love. She happily told it to Yan Yu, and immediately fell in love with it. After that, she personally made two emerald-embedded mahjong with the Jade Craftsman. At the time of the gift, she just happened to have something to do and couldn't leave. She had never met Xiaoyu and was always worried about her. After hearing that she had been informed by Night Demon that she had returned to the palace, he took the time to introduce her to him and ask her for advice on gambling techniques.

He was so conflicted. He wanted to make Yanyu his own, but he also wanted to push her aside so that she could seek his happiness. He was extremely happy to hear that she did not retort to Xiaoyu's words, "Eighth sister-in-law."

"Rui Er, bring me the warm jade mahjong that I prepared." After she had eaten her fill, Yan Yu took advantage of her drunkenness to make Rui'er take out the jade mahjong that she usually carried around with her.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Xiaoyu's eyes widened as she involuntarily rubbed her palms together.

Fortunately, she was looking at Rui'er, who was carrying a mahjong. If her gaze were to meet his, it would not even take half a second for her to draw her sword and cause a bloodbath. Little Yu had never looked at him with such eagerness in his eyes. His status was not comparable to eighth sister's gift, which greatly hurt his man's self-esteem. He ruefully glanced at Little Fishy, only to discover that she had completely ignored him. All she could see was the slowly approaching box.

"Hmph, it's time for Little Fishy to feed. Let's go back and let Little Red and the others play with you." Finally at night, Nine Demons launched into a childish tantrum, grumpily packed the little fish and was about to return home.

Yan Yu and Xiaoyu were both stunned.

"Halt, you still can't leave!" Yan Yu rushed forward, perhaps she had too much to drink, and with a sway of her body, she blocked Night Nine's path in front of him.

This one strike of hers made Night Nine's face look like the bottom of a black pot. He was filled with dark energy, and his eyes gradually revealed a ruthless light. He thought about whether he should risk being discovered and use his good legs to blow up the fire and clear the obstacles.

"Yu'er!" Ye Mo was startled, and quickly grabbed the drunk Yan Yu and said with a smile, "She's drunk. Ninth Brother, don't worry about her."

Little Fishy returned to her senses and looked at Night Nine with a strange expression. She nodded and patted his shoulder lovingly, coaxing him like a child, "Little Jiu, don't make trouble. I'll buy some sweets for you when I win some money later."

From the looks of it, it wasn't just Yanyu who was drunk, even Xiaoyu was drunk too. Night Nine didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She held onto Little Fishy, afraid that she would fall down. "Eighth brother," he said to Night Demon, who was holding Yan Yu in his arms, "Little Yu is drunk. Let's go home first."

"Yes, all of you return to the manor first. I will bring Yu'er over to your residence to harass you another day." Nightbane originally wanted to ask Xiaoyu for advice on how to win the favor of the mahjong, but... Looking at Yan Yu's face, which was getting redder and redder, he shook his head and arranged for Little Si, who was closest to him, to send the Ninth Prince and his wife off. He then carried the drunk Yan Yu back to his mansion.

After the ninth prince and his wife left, only Yan Yu and Night Demon remained in the room. Yan Yu, who was originally drunk, suddenly woke up, coldly pushed away the Night Demon, reached out for Rui'er's hand, and ridiculed her, "There's no need for a future monarch to come. A commoner like Yan Yu can't stand the kindness of your dragon."

Words were bitter, and she was still unwilling to forgive him for his choice. They seemed unable to go back.

"If there's nothing else, then this humble girl will take her leave first." Yan Yu coldly said as she left the gambling den without looking back. Leaving a look of remorse and distress on his face.

The consequences of drunkenness were very serious. Little Fishy slept until three in the morning before faintly waking up. Her brain felt as if it had been trampled by ten thousand horses, in pain and confusion. She sat blankly on the bed for more than an hour before gradually waking up.

Night Nine had been waiting by the bed for her to wake up, but something had happened at the Wind and Rain Tower, so he took 15 with him to deal with it. It was rare for her to wake up for the first time without seeing Night Nine Magic, causing her to feel somewhat disappointed. Soon, the disappointment was dispersed by her hunger.
