Chapter 530 (2/2)
Ugly Gambler accepted the bottle without hesitation and said, ”You're a smart kid. I had thought that you would summon the nether prison devil puppet against me.”
Xiang Shaoyun's face went stiff for a bit before he smiled. ”How is that possible? My respect toward you, the great Lord Gambler, is akin to an unending torrent of river, as boundless as a great flood!”
”That better be the case. Otherwise, before the poison kills you, I will personally slap you to death,” said Ugly Gambler, pleased. Xiang Shaoyun could feel the sinister murderous intent contained in Ugly Gambler's voice, and it seemed like he had no fear whatsoever toward the nether prison devil puppet.
Xiang Shaoyun rejoiced that he had not summoned the nether prison devil puppet. Otherwise, things would have turned troublesome. After the two took a swig of liquor, he asked, ”Lord, I have completed your mission. What should I do next?”
Ugly Gambler had poisoned him and forced him to complete the mission of getting the yin devil wind and becoming the Yu Clan's son-in-law. He believed that there was more that Ugly Gambler wanted.
Ugly Gambler sighed, ”In truth, your mission can't be considered to have been completed.”
”How is that possible? I did as you told and became the son-in-law of the Yu Clan!” Xiang Shaoyun said.
”But you failed to stay beside Yu Caidie, right?” Ugly Gambler said.
”Huh? Lord, you meant to have me stay by her side?” Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion.
”That was the initial plan. You were supposed to become her follower and enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy with her. But that is no longer required. I had never imagined that you yourself would become a special-recruit disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy as well. Not bad, not bad at all,” said Ugly Gambler with a praising tone.
”Lord, so your main goal was for me to enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, still confused.
”Yes. So long as you can promise to do something for me when you're in the Dragon Phoenix Academy, I will give you the antidote,” said Ugly Gambler.
”What do I need to do? But I'm too weak. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it even if I want to,” said Xiang Shaoyun gloomily.
Something even an expert like Ugly Gambler would pay attention to would definitely not be so easily accomplished. Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to agree rashly.
”Hehe, that involves a gargantuan opportunity. Are you sure you don't want to do it?” said Ugly Gambler with a smile.
”But I'm afraid I will really be too weak to do it,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a look of fear. There was no free lunch in the world.
”Hmph. Even if you're unwilling to do it, you still need to do it,” said Ugly Gambler coldly. He then tossed an item toward Xiang Shaoyun. Forced to catch the item, Xiang Shaoyun soon found that it was a badly damaged map with some markings on it.
”A treasure map?” Xiang Shaoyun asked doubtfully.
”I guess you can call it that. But this map is much more valuable than a treasure map. It details a divine site!” said Ugly Gambler solemnly.
”What? Divine site?” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm.
”Yes. Of course, the map is incomplete. But we are sure that the site is located within the Dragon Phoenix Academy. It is rumored that this is the reason the Dragon Phoenix Academy had been built there in the first place. I hope you can find the entrance of this place after entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. You only need to tell me the location, and your mission will be considered complete,” said Ugly Gambler seriously.
”You only want to know the location of the entrance?” Xiang Shaoyun reconfirmed.
”Yes. It shouldn't be a hard mission. I believe you can complete it,” said Ugly Gambler. He then gave Xiang Shaoyun a bottle and said, ”This is three years worth of antidote. If you can complete the mission within three years, I will give you the full antidote.”
