<h4>Chapter 1622: Chapter 1618: The Light Casino (Part 1)</h4>


    no stood at the entrance of the casino, quietlyining to hispanion.


    "I really hate standing guard at the entrance! Because it’s absolutely stupid! Is there anyone who dares toe here and cause trouble?"


    Hispanion, also a Divine Guard, shrugged upon hearing no’s words.


    "Well, since we’ve been assigned to stand guard here, let’s do a good job! It’s much better than the guys at Pdon; I heard they haven’t rested for two days and nights, and they’re setting up control around the city!"


    no smirked at this, "That’s the best news I’ve heardtely. Just thinking about how unlucky Pdon is makes me want tough!"


    The other guard chuckled but didn’t say anything.


    But no was clearly not willing to let it go, he nced around, saw everything was calm, then leaned over mysteriously and asked quietly.


    "Hey, what do you think the Divine King is nning by suddenly ordering a city-wide curfew and having us keep a close watch on the people entering the city, especially young human boys? Is something big about to happen?"


    Seeing no’s curious expression, the guard’s face turned stern.


    "no, some things should be asked, and some shouldn’t. Whatever the Divine King is nning isn’t something we can specte about."


    no looked embarrassed, "I’m just curious!"


    "You better swallow your curiosity, otherwise if something happens, nobody can save you!"


    "Alright, alright! I got it, okay! How boring!"


    no muttered as he turned back to his post, but he still felt very curious.


    Just the day before yesterday, the Divine King suddenly issued two decrees. First, he ordered the closing of the entire city, forbidding entry and exit.


    The second was to conduct a citywide search, focusing on young human boys.


    Once these two orders were issued, the city was in chaos.


    Many Divine Guards turned the city upside down but couldn’t find the person the Divine King was looking for.


    Yet the atmosphere didn’t rx, instead, it became even more tense.


    Even casinos, exclusively for the pleasure of the deities, heightened their security levels.


    no was posted at the casino entrance under such circumstances.


    For someone ustomed toziness, this kind of work was incredibly dull and tasteless.


    Which is why he was full ofints,


    but after being admonished by hispanion, he had to bury thoseints within.


    Just as no was silently grumbling.


    From the darkness far down the street, two figures slowly emerged.


    Seeing someone appear, no and the other guard were both startled.


    Because before these two figures appeared, they clearly felt the entire street was empty.


    But almost in the blink of an eye, these two people appeared out of nowhere.


    Such a strange scene naturally made their hearts tighten.


    "Who are you?" no shouted sternly.


    No one answered, the two figures continued walking in the darkness unhurriedly.


    no and hispanion exchanged nces, seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes, then the guard nodded slightly at no.


    no understood this was a signal for him to go inside and report, so he turned to leave.


    But just at that moment, the two figures stepped out of the darkness into the light.


    Walking in front was a young boy in white, followed by a ck-d twin-tailed girl.


    Even in such a quiet and sinister night, this pairing was still pleasing to the eye.


    But no and hispanion didn’t feel pleased at all; on the contrary, their eyes widened and their bodies slightly trembled.


    Because this boy was precisely the person the Divine King was personally ordering them to find!


    This was a huge problem!


    Just as no and hispanion were filled with fear, Xue An slowly halted, his gaze sweeping over them, then he smiled.


    "Excuse me, is this the Grand Light Casino?"


    Both of them froze, nearly unable to speak.


    But no, quick to react, was the first to regain rity and nodded furiously.


    "Ye... Yes!"


    "Thank you!" Xue An nodded and smiled, then stepped toward the interior of the casino.


    no and hispanion showed signs of struggle.


    They’d been assigned to guard here, meaning anyone entering the casino needed their consent.


    And now, this boy in white definitely wasn’t allowed inside.


    But if they were to act to stop him, no and hispanion didn’t dare.


    Because despite this young boy in white seeming unremarkable, his eyes were so profound that they sent chills down one’s spine.


    While they were hesitating, Xue An had already walked up to them.


    no’spanion secretly clinched his teeth, thinking that if they just let Xue An in, the two of them wouldn’t end up well.


    So, he took a step forward, attempting to block Xue An.


    But just then, Xue An lifted his gaze and nced at him lightly.


    Even such a calm look made the Divine Guard feel as if he had been struck by lightning, causing him to stumble back several steps, then fall to the ground, unable to get up.


    Gasp!


    Seeing this, no sighed and any remaining hope within him vanished.


    It’s over! Now the two of them were done for!


    Just as nomented inwardly.


    Xue An continued strolling inside without even looking back at them.


    Once he reached the entrance, Xue An softly spoke, "If I were you, I would run as far as possible now, because... tonight, this city won’t be peaceful!"


    With that, Xue An pushed the door open, Luo Lanting followed closely, disappearing into the hallway behind the door.


    no and hispanion stared nkly for a moment before shivering with a jolt.


    Then no looked at hispanion.


    Coincidentally, the guard looked at no, their gazes meeting, then they both spoke the same word in unison.


    "Go!"


    Once the word was spoken, they immediately stood up, not daring to look back, and swiftly fled the scene.


    Grand Light Casino!


    The name is simply full of irony.


    After all, "Light" has always been a positive term, while casinos are often associated with darkness.


    Combining the two naturally gives a feeling of absurdity bordering on magical.


    Yet this name is so fitting.


    Because those who can enter and leave this casino are all deities from the Kingdom of Light!


    That’s right!


    The deities under the Light Divine King!


    Doesn’t it soundughable?


    Even deities would gamble.


    But this is indeed the truth.


    Actually, after the Light Divine King moved the entire Divine Kingdom to Lost Paradise, these deities quickly fell into corruption.
