Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

Chapter 74 Mermaid Weeping Pearls 1

ps: This is a completely fictional Western fantasy plane, all privately set, no need to delve into it.

Accompanied by the broadcast of 011, He Sheng was thrown into a new world.

All the memories were stuffed into her head, and this time He Sheng came to a Western world full of swords and magic. Her identity was the daughter of a wealthy businessman from the East.

He Sheng's father went to sea and came to this continent called Navansi County in his early years, then settled here, started a business, and became a wealthy businessman in this city called Lanfoshenger.

It would not be an exaggeration to even say that they are the richest people. It's a pity that they are Orientals, otherwise her family might have been awarded a title.

He Sheng grew up here and mingled with the upper class society.

Today, He Sheng is going to watch a horse race with those noble ladies.

The cumbersome large skirt and heavy crinoline made He Sheng, who was used to modern light clothes, feel a little breathless. Oh my God, she didn't expect that she would be the first to be defeated by this tattered dress.

As she spoke, He Sheng began to take off her crinoline, one layer, two layers, three layers, and there was still one layer left. Thinking that the skirt would not look good if she took it all off, she stopped and decided to just deal with it this way for now.

The racecourse is on the outskirts of the city, so He Sheng needs to think about which means of transportation to use.

Use a teleportation scroll? Or ride a Pegasus?

Well, this big skirt means it is not convenient to ride Pegasus, so I have to take out a teleportation scroll.

He Sheng went out to find her father to report her whereabouts to him. Her mother died when she was very young, so her father He Cang spoiled her since she was a child and did not restrict her in most things, but only required her to tell him her whereabouts.

The maid Kate who was waiting outside the door opened and came forward, "Miss."

Kate is two years older than He Sheng. She has been He Sheng's personal maid since she was very young. She knows a little swordsmanship and magic, and while serving as a maid, she also has the duty of a guard.

"Kath, have you seen my father?"

"I saw the gentleman go to the study."

"Great, come with me. I'm leaving to watch the horse race. After I report my whereabouts to my father, you can come with me." After saying that, He Sheng returned to the room and took out a teleportation scroll and stuffed it into Kate's hand, "Take it."

He Sheng lifted up her skirt and trotted to the study. Seeing her running, Kate realized something was wrong and chased after her, "Miss, did you secretly take off your crinoline again?"

He Sheng quickened her pace when she heard this. Oh no, she was discovered. Kate would definitely ask her to go back and put on her clothes again before setting off again.

He Sheng knocked on the study door symbolically and walked in. She and He Cang looked at each other and smiled, "Dad, I'm going to the outskirts of the city to watch the horse racing. I'll be back before dark."

"Okay, let's go."

He Sheng closed the door and found that Kate was about to catch up with her. She immediately tore up the scroll and left. As long as she left the castle, Kate could not do anything to her.

The landing point of the teleportation scroll happened to be at the entrance of the racecourse. The doorman saw He Sheng suddenly appear and greeted her enthusiastically, "Good afternoon, beautiful lady. Are you here to watch the horse racing as well?"

"Yes, I'll look for..." He Sheng searched for the name of the person who made the appointment with her in his mind, "Oh, yes, it's Jennifer Dahler, we have an appointment."

Western names are so troublesome, He Sheng complained inwardly. There are so many people with the same name that she has to clearly say the other person's last name.

"Oh, Miss Jennifer's friend, please follow me."

The doorman took her to Jennifer Dahler's seat and said, "Here it is. I wish you a happy life."

He Sheng's smile fell when he saw Jennifer's face clearly. He almost forgot that this person didn't get along with her. It must be no good thing for her to ask her out to watch the horse racing, but she couldn't not come to avoid appearing scared.

Jennifer covered half of her face with a feather fan and looked He Sheng up and down with disdain in her eyes. "Look at our eldest lady. Why are you so miserable today? Are you alone? Where is your maid?"

Kate arrived late. She hurried to He Sheng's side and said, "Sorry, Miss, I'm late."

He Sheng shrugged and motioned for her to look for herself.

Jennifer chuckled, "Let's get straight to the point. I want to make a bet with you."

"What bet?"

"Do you dare to bet on horse racing?" Jennifer smiled provocatively. In the past ten years or so, they had made countless bets of varying sizes, and both sides couldn't bear to see the other side having an easy time.

"What's the punishment for failure?" He Sheng adjusted her skirt and sat beside her. "What should the loser do?"

Jennifer's smile remained unchanged. "Why not...bet on mermaid tears? I heard that mermaids cry tears and turn them into pearls. The pearls they cry out are round and plump and have the effect of beautifying the skin. If I lose, I'll help you get one, and if you lose, you'll help me get one."

He Sheng thought about the feasibility of this bet. In the continent of Wenxi County, besides humans, there are also mermaids, dragons, elves, and orcs. However, the latter three are still relatively common nowadays, while mermaids have disappeared for many years.

I guess this is also the reason why she chose the mermaid's tears as the bet. How can she talk about mermaid's tears when she can't even find the mermaid?

but……

He Sheng smiled. She was her only daughter, and his father had no restrictions on her spending. But Jennifer was different. There were five children in her family, and money was strictly controlled. If she lost, regardless of whether the Mermaid Tears still existed in the world, the cost of finding it would be enough for her to be scolded by her father.

Thinking of this, He Sheng's mouth curled up and he agreed, "Okay, I agree. I'll accept the loss."

Jennifer fanned herself with a feather fan. "So, what number do you bet on for this game?"

He Sheng casually placed his finger on the number 8 sign and said, "I bet on number 8."

She also randomly picked a number and said, "Then I'll bet on 18."

All 18 horses entered the gate, and with a sound, the gate opened and all 18 horses rushed out.

He Sheng leaned back in his chair and observed the situation off the field. In the first half, No. 8 was leading. Just when He Sheng thought it was stable, its front hooves suddenly went soft and it knelt on the ground. No. 18 took the opportunity to rush out and took away the leading position.

He Sheng was a little surprised, but not much. She was just pointing casually. She didn't know enough about horse racing, let alone the details of these horses.

If mistakes were made in such a game, there was no chance of a comeback, and No. 18 finally won first place.

Jennifer laughed wildly, "He Sheng, you lose."

He Sheng snorted coldly, "I'll admit defeat if I lose the bet."

Jennifer stood up from her seat and waved her feather fan. "Then I'll just wait to get the Mermaid's Tears. Thanks for letting me off the hook, haha."

He Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Go away."

Gamble with her, and in the end you will have nothing. She really deserves it.

Jennifer added, "You must fulfill your promise. I asked Sina to use magic to record the entire process of our bet. If you don't admit it, I will submit it to major newspapers and discredit you!"

Sina is Jennifer's personal maid.

He Sheng: ...

He Sheng: "Who is as untrustworthy as you?"
