Chapter 1249 Show of Might (2/2)

Jiang Ba’s eyes flickered in thought.

“Forget it, acknowledge the wager.” Jiang Hongying gritted her teeth, her voice somewhat hoarse.

So many people had observed the wager. Even if they managed to escape, word would spread and it would undoubtedly make them a huge joke. It was just not worth it.

Jiang Hongying raised her pale face and looked towards Zhou Yuan. Although her expression was still quite icy, there was not much hatred to be seen.

“Dare to gamble, dare to lose. Take it!”

With a jerk of her hand, seven streaks of light shot forth.

Zhou Yuan’s Spirit power moved to catch the seven objects. His brows involuntarily raised when he saw the seven Ancestral Spirit Fruits within, clearly surprised that the other party’s straightforward response. He had already asked Tuntun to get ready to stop Jiang Ba and the others from running.

At the sight of his surprised expression, Jiang Hongying coldly said, “I, Jiang Hongying, am not a sore loser.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and said in a deep moved voice, “As expected of a hero among women, the great lady who gifts wealth.”

The first part was fine, but the latter part made Jiang Hongying’s expression turn steely-green with rage. She gnashed her teeth, fire practically spoutin from her eyes. However, she did not say anything in the end and only turned away so she didn’t have to look at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was surprised again. From Jiang Hongying’s earlier attitude, she should have exploded like a firecracker. He had not expected her to control her emotions. There seemed to be no longer any trace of her earlier haughtiness.

He seemed to understand something...this woman had been beaten into submission by him?

As expected, only the hard approach worked on her.

He shook his head inwardly. His earlier courtesy had only made this woman want to stomp his face in, but after being beaten, she was now so cooperative...

After Jiang Hongying handed over the fruits, the Mystic Dragon Clan group were clearly quite dejected and did not want to stay here any longer. Hence, they immediately turned around and left.

The other factions sighed inwardly. No one had expected the usually domineering and aggressive Mystic Dragon Clan to suffer at Zhou Yuan’s hands.

Since the show was over, they also began to scatter.

The Divine Tiger Clan’s Meng Chong paused on Zhou Yuan. When Zhou Yuan looked over, Meng Chong cupped his fists together with a smile, displaying his friendliness.

Zhou Yuan returned the gesture by cupping his own fists together. The Divine Tiger Clan was also a great clan with as many powerful experts as the clouds in the sky. It was naturally better to make more friends. After all, this was Wanshou Heaven and he did not wish to have enemies everywhere.

After displaying his good will, Meng Chong did not rush forward to deepen their relationship but instead left with his men.

Tuntun’s body rapidly shrank, landing on Zhou Yuan’s head and giving him a light pat.

Zhou Yuan understood its intention and quickly retrieved the seven Ancestral Spirit Fruits. After adding in the remaining three they had, he now had a total of ten.

Zhou Yuan looked towards Jin Zhong and the others and cautioned, “You guys should go ahead and leave first.”

Jin Zhong and the others nodded. Although they did not know what Zhou Yuan and Tuntun were going to do, they could guess that it was something special. They felt rather envious, but also understood they did not have the fortune to partake.

Ten Ancestral Spirit Fruits hovered in front of Tuntun. It swung its paw, shattering all the fruits into strange, mysterious light.

Tuntun’s paw reached into the light, seemingly mixing in something special.

In the next instant, the lights surged forth, enveloping Zhou Yuan and Tuntun like a membrane.

Zhou Yuan understood what he had to do. He moved with the membrane, turning into a blur that soon crashed into the Ancestral Spirit Tree’s giant trunk.

Plop!

There was no impact. The trunk rippled as man and beast strangely disappeared into it.

In the outside word, the yet to scatter experts could not help but gasp at this scene.

Some experts seemed to understand something as envy flooded their eyes. They knew from ancient texts about the Alpha sacred beasts’ bloodlines numerous wonders. Evidently, Tuntun had opened some kind of special area.

They could only sigh in envy. Zhou Yuan was really lucky!

After sighing, the rest of the crowd finally scattered. The Dragon Spirit Utopia had just opened and since there was nothing for them here, they could only go somewhere else to try their luck.
