The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 167 - Bet I
Qing Shan slightly cupped his fists and flew away from the place. The expression on Elder Bai's face instantly darkened.
"Huh! Boy, you only have time today to show your arrogance in front of me During the battle, I will make you understand the consequences of offending me! ” Bai Fei spoke with hatred as she looked at Qing Shan's increasingly distant silhouette.
...
As Qing Shan appeared on the island, a bored and lazy looking bwrnama Hua Lin who was talking to someone else suddenly furrowed her brows and was a little astonished when she saw Qing Shan.
"This child is not exactly what my husband said. Even so, I still have to finish my task....!" Hua Lin Mumbled.
Outside the entrance of the arena, there was the voice of a young man, "Now place your bets now."
It was a beggar-like young man who announced the start of the bet openly. Outside of the arena, many cultivators had set up tables to exchange treasures and pills they did not need for other cultivators items. Therefore, this beggar gambling place was the first to appear.
The young beggar had messy hair, like weeds. His clothes were tattered and dirty, but he had a handsome face with an untidy beard.
When his voice rang out, many bored cultivators gathered, wanting to know what the beggar had to offer for a bet.
Each of those experts placed two bets, one betting on Qing Shan to lose the match and the other betting on a draw match. Naturally, this was a wise move from their side even though none of them thought that Qing Shan would have the strength to match Elder Bai.
No one had bet on Qing Shan to win. In fact they repeatedly stated that they would bet that Qing Shan would lose.
The beggar youth betting spot instantly spread instantly to the entire sect. No one will refuse to bet when there is a chance to make a profit.
Upon hearing that the beggar was an expert from the Tropical World God Palace, each of them released killing intent and wanted to steal his wealth, even though the beggar looked to be just an expert of the Harmonious Spirit Realm.
The only thing that bothers them is the memory of this beggar who loves to forget and is very bad. Every time they placed a bet, they had to get proof of receipt to avoid this beggar refusing that they had placed a bet after the battle was over.
Furthermore, there were ten elders taking turns watching the beggar, just in case he escaped with all the bets he was holding. Even though the beggar was a member of the Tropical Duni Heavenly God Palace, he should not refuse to pay when others won in their bets.
When the bet spread to Bai Fei's ears, her facial expression looked extremely arrogant. This was because countless masters had bet Qing Shan to lose and none of them had bet that Qing Shan would win against him.
"Alright, then it will also come to bet and stake my 10,000 gold coins for my own victory!" Ucal Bai Fei's.
He would be a fool if he did not see the benefits behind this gamble. He took all his fortune and placed big bets, ignoring the odds of the match resulting in a draw. This is his confidence in himself.
He was sure he would win.
Gradually, almost all cultivators bet for Qing Shan's defeat and there were also those who bet on the draw. The beggar's eyes were filled with boredom and humiliation as he looked at those gamblers as he said in his heart, 'Thank you Qing Shan, I will make a lot of profit today.'
Inevitably he felt happy because he found a way to make a lot of profit. Everyone in this tropical world was arrogant and stupid, but he could tell how Qing Shan hid his abilities at his first glance.
"Could this young man be the one Big Brother is looking for?" He said again as he looked at Qing Shan on the seat.
Right at this moment, a girl in red walked forward to place her bet. Immediately, the beggar turned around with a pleasant face.
“What did you bet?”
"I will bet 10,000 Gold coins for Qing Shan's victory!" The girl in red clothes said firmly.
The beggar probed the girl and discovered that this girl was merely a medium stage Aalm Spirit Harmonious cultivator. He thought that this girl should not be able to see Qing Shan's strength. After all, it was not pleasant to hear when everyone was betting on Bai Fei's victory.
"Do you have 10,000 gold coins?" The beggar chuckled again.
“Of course I have! Dad, lend me your space bag for a minute!”
The girl dressed in merag pulled the Demon Ghost in front of the betting table with her sleeves. While the Demon Ghost forced a bitter smile on his face, letting his 10,000 gold coins be taken away.
"Son, even though father is the master of this sect, father should not spend wealth in this way."
"Dad! How can you let everyone bet and say that Qing Shan will lose? How can it be like that!” Xiao Mei said as she looked at the beggar with a look of hatred.
"Alright, place a bet then.” Said the Demon Ghost as he made up his mind and recalled the day when Qing Shan killed Yao Wang.
"He he he.. You are my very good father!" When Xiao Mei was handing over the bet.
Suddenly another subtle and slightly angry voice sounded next to him.
“I'll bet on brother Qing and I'm sure he'll win the fight today! I-I'll bet 100,000 Gold Coins... Lili, take the money!” Ling Yun glared at the beggar like he was glaring at his nemesis.
Xiao Mei immediately turned around and her face petrified. He knew who this girl was and found it hard to believe when he realized that Ling Yun's cultivation base was already at the early stage Harmonious Spirit realm.
Secretly, he had investigated about Ling Yun while in the Ice City, and he then discovered that Ling Yun had been cultivating for over a year and had never even truly cultivated before.
Even though he had no evil intentions towards Ling Yun right now, his heart was filled with jealousy.
Then, he saw another woman standing beside Ling Yun. The cultivation realm of this girl was undetectable and her appearance was definitely no less beautiful than her.
"This lily must also be one of Qing Shan's cultivation servants.!" Xiao Mei said inwardly as she looked at Lili.
"Ling Yun had broken through the Harmonious Spirit realm as Lili was definitely a Gold Realm realm expert.The perverted Qing Shan indeed had very good eyesight, they also placed a bet for Qing Shan's victory! I can't lose to them! I have to raise my bet!" Xiao Mei said again in her heart.
