Chapter 395: A sky-high bet on the goddess to win!
"No matter how full of spiritual energy she is, the Civet Cat Clan is good at medicine, but her combat effectiveness is extremely low. Her mediocre skills are probably not enough to withstand the tail of Long Xiao of the Azure Dragon Clan!"
"The above person must have remembered it wrongly. Long Xiao had already broken through to the intermediate immortal realm at the beginning of this year. His tail had long been retracted. Only the two Azure Dragon horns remained on his head."
"Has she become a fairy? The cat ears and tail of the spirit cat goddess are still there. She must be a fairy. How can we fight her?"
"The first level would probably shatter her Daoist resolve, and the rest... wow! She might as well surrender right from the start!"
"Don't be so sympathetic! The betting is about to start for all eleven arenas! Betting is done and then you can't make a mistake! Hurry up, once the start is announced, the betting will be closed. We're afraid we'll see how they're going to perform!"
"Wait for me! Wait for me! It seems you can place bets on the jade slips!"
……
Shangguan Ziqian and the others who were far away outside the Ice Sea Dragon Palace could naturally place bets directly on the jade slips. They immediately became interested and shouted in the crowd:
Shangguan Ziqian: "How's my sister doing? Do we have a better chance of betting on her to win in the first match? Or do we bet on that Qinglong clan's Long Xiao to win? @Ji Chen @Jiang Xinbai @Shen Tu Yin @Ning Luo @Ning Su Yan @Nangong Yan @Situ Yun'er"
Ning Suyan first sent an eye-rolling emoticon, and her tone was particularly helpless:
“Is this the execution list?
You don't even support your own sister, how can you be a brother like that?"
Shangguan Ziqian: "Hehe! Just kidding! I've already staked all my belongings you asked me to keep on Youyou winning!"
Ning Suyan: “…”
Ye Lang roared, "What?! That's 10 to 20 million taels of gold! Brother Shangguan???!!!"
Shangguan Ziqian calmly typed out a line of words: "It doesn't matter, even if you lose everything, you still have hundreds of thousands of taels of gold in your hands. You won't starve to death, and you won't be unable to practice!
My sister’s odds are very high, reaching the highest payout rate in the fairy world gambling world, 1:100!
If she wins, just do the math, even if we only have 10 million taels of gold and multiply it a thousand times, we'll have 10 billion taels of gold!"
Ten billion? !
What does that mean? Shu Yelang and other disciples who don’t usually run businesses to make money have no idea about it.
But Shangguan Ziqian knew that if they had such a huge amount of funds, they would almost not have to rely on any force at all and could even build their own force!
This gambling group was originally a profit-making force jointly formed by seven countries hundreds of years ago. Over the years, its credibility has always been very good.
There was a situation in the past where the upper echelons of the seven nations had to pay compensation to protect people's livelihood even when they had to raise funds, so the creatures of the entire fairy world have a high degree of trust in it.
Moreover, after operating for hundreds of years, their accumulated assets are already countless. If they really lose tens of billions of gold, it will probably shake their foundation, but it will not lead to bankruptcy.
Shangguan Ziqian suddenly made such a big bet, especially when the outcome was very likely to be a defeat. For example, when he announced that Chu You had met his opponent in the draw, it caused a bigger uproar.
"Am I seeing things? The draw for this year's 'Demon Realm Trial Competition' was exciting, but I didn't expect gambling to be even more exciting?!"
"For a moment, I really felt presbyopic! It's not one thousand taels! It's not ten thousand taels! It's more than twenty million taels of gold!"
"I thought the previous auction of 10 million taels by Baibaozhai in Langya City was the biggest single transaction we've seen this year!
I didn't expect this... Did you all make so much money without being famous? Am I the only one so poor that I have no imagination?
"You're not the only one upstairs, I'm here with you too!"
"+1"
"+2"
"Is this just a fool with a lot of money? Or does he know the inside story? It makes me want to bet on it too!"
"Don't be silly! Long Xiao is a leader of the new generation in the Immortal Realm. He has never been defeated in sparring with his peers!"
"Is that so? Then I'll wait!"
……
When someone placed such a huge bet, the top leaders of the seven countries received the news immediately. After all, this gambling group was closely related to the strength of the top leaders of the seven countries.
When the state teacher of Lingyuan Kingdom received the report from the male personal envoy, he seemed to be completely unconcerned and just kept groping for the dragon pattern on the chest of the "Xuanbing Juling Armor" in his hand.
His eyes were as deep as the abyss, looking into the distance without any focus.
The voice was hoarse, like that of someone who had been ill for a long time.
"I asked you to find out who made this 'Mysterious Ice Gathering Spirit Armor'. Still no news?"
Hearing this, the personal male messenger crouched even lower:
"My subordinates are incompetent. I've even planted spies inside Baibaozhai, but I still haven't figured out who originally gave the 'Mysterious Ice Gathering Spirit Armor' to Baibaozhai for auction."
After a very long sigh, the Imperial Master continued:
“Let’s start by checking where this thing was taken from Baibaozhai.
Investigate each person one by one, explore each place one by one, don't miss any details, find it out at any cost!"
This was drawn by her. Only she could draw such free and unrestrained lines!
She had drawn countless paintings for him in the past, and he had seen them countless times in the past three hundred years. How could he have made a mistake?
Seeing that the imperial teacher was so persistent, the envoy had no choice but to obey the order.
But when he thought about the huge amount of bets and the high payout rate, he couldn't help but say something:
"Master Imperial Master, should we send someone to investigate the newly returned goddess of the Spirit Cat Tribe?
The spirit cat tribe isn't good at attacking, only at supporting. Her opponent is Long Xiao, the strongest of the new generation of demon tribes, the Azure Dragon tribe. Someone even spent a thousand taels of gold to bet on the goddess to win. Is there something fishy going on?
"The Spirit Cat Clan has ambitions that are neither big nor small. Although they are highly valued by the Red Flame Nation, the cultivation resources allocated to them in recent years have been very mediocre.
Their goddess finally managed to enter the 'Demon Fairy Trial Competition'. She took the opportunity to demonstrate her healing abilities and increase her popularity in the entire fairy world. This would benefit them in the future and allow them to obtain more resources. It was a win-win situation, so they naturally would not give up such a good opportunity.
Cough! Cough cough! "
Because he said too much at once, the imperial teacher started coughing continuously.
Another attendant beside him quickly handed him the pill, but he slowly shook his head to refuse, and said to the kneeling messenger:
"Continue to track down the creator of the 'Mysterious Ice Gathering Spirit Armor'!"
"Yes!"
The messenger wanted to say something, but the servant beside him gave him a look that told him to retreat. He could only retreat with regret.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that the goddess of the spirit cat tribe looked very similar to the portrait that the national teacher had always hung in his study.
But then I thought, what the national teacher has been looking for is real human beings, and he started looking for them more than three hundred years ago.
The Civet Cats began searching for the reincarnation of their goddess over seven hundred years ago.
It is impossible that these two are the same person!
After the messenger left, the attendant brought the pill to the Imperial Master:
"Master Imperial Master, even if you want to find her reincarnation, you must take good care of your body.
She knew that you had been weak and sickly since childhood, so she sought out famous doctors and climbed mountains and seas to find medicinal herbs just to treat your congenital deficiency.
She worked so hard to get you back to good health, you must not let her down!"
