Chapter 446: The White Sand City Lord’s Gift

Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant

The arena battle ended.

Under watch of the legion troop soldiers, the spectators all began to leave.

The white-browed Jiu She, with his fluttering white hair and white clothes, glanced at Xue Ying and Drunk Guest with long and narrow eyes. He then smiled and departed.

“He seems very confident.” Seventh Mei Yu and Xue Ying walked side by side. “Is he certain he’ll win against you and Drunk Guest?”

“Once the survival battles finish, the rankings will be declared; all of this will naturally be disclosed,” Xue Ying calmly replied. Although Jiu She seemed rather provocative, Xue Ying was still unperturbed. He didn’t care too much about ranking first; as long as he could attend the God Palace Battle, wouldn’t things be fine? He would showcase his true power at the God Palace; as for the survival battles, it would be enough to make an effort. There was no need to go all out.

He had only cultivated for two thousand years, so for those like Jiu She who had cultivated for over five million years, what need was there to compete?

…

The crowd dissipated.

Xue Ying soon met up with Jing Qiu and the others. On the way back, the guards on the road came over to congratulate them. Soon after, they reached their adobe.

Just when they had entered the abode and began steeping tea——

“Dong Bo.” A sound transmitted in from outside.

As soon as Xue Ying heard it, he stood up at once and went to the door to greet the visitor. He opened the door to reveal a white-clothed plump man standing outside—the White Sand City Lord.

“Big Brother, why have you come?” Xue Ying was very surprised. “Come in, come in.”

The White Sand City Lord beamed as he entered. When he saw the welcoming Jing Qiu, he immediately said, “Sister-in-law, Xue Ying and I have some things we need to talk about; there’s no need to attend to us.”

“Yes, Big Brother.” Jing Qiu smiled and walked over to the side.

“Dong Bo.” The White Sand City Lord pulled Xue Ying along and sat down next to him. He picked up the cup on the table and drank a gulp of tea before saying, “Do you still remember how I previously said to you…that when the Prefecture Selections are finished, I will have a present to give to you.”

“I remember.” Xue Ying nodded.

The White Sand City Lord mischievously laughed. “Although the Prefecture Selections have not finished, you will certainly compete in the God Palace Battle, so there isn’t much difference between giving it now and giving it a while later. Thus, I’ve come to gift it to you! Take a look.”

Once he explained his presence, he flipped his hand. A dark brown crystal bottle appeared, of which he uncorked.

Immediately, a faint fragrance wafted out of the bottle.

“This is?” Xue Ying was startled, yet he had recognized the treasure already.

This was a rare treasure of the Deity realm, the ‘Rock Flower Cold Cloud Nectar.’ This bottle’s assessed value was around two million Deity crystals, causing Xue Ying to be somewhat speechless. Remember, the Second Prince’s gift had merely been worth a hundred thousand Deity crystals, whereas a gift of two million Deity crystals?

This Big Brother’s strength was powerful, but he was this forthright in his spending?

“This is the Rock Flower Cold Cloud Nectar. You have probably not heard of it, but you’ll learn of its worth later.” The White Sand City Lord smiled. “Take it. Although it’s counted as a treasure, it’s not worth much to me.”

“I’ve heard that one bottle has to be around two million Deity crystals, right?” Xue Ying asked.

The White Sand City Lord was astonished.

He’d heard of it?

A Deity stage expert actually knew of the Rock Flower Cold Cloud Nectar? He even roughly knew of its price?

“It’s too precious; I can’t accept it,” Xue Ying then said.

“Ha ha, when you were in the ranking battle, the Calm Sea Prefecture Master, Monarch Mo Xue, and all the others were in the mood to gamble, and I bet on you. Ultimately, I won big.” The White Sand City Lord smiled in delight. “Although the Calm Sea Prefecture Master and Monarch Mo Xue didn’t care, the prices of the treasures they had brought out far exceed this Rock Flower Cold Cloud Nectar. Therefore, I’ve already earned much to where this isn’t valued highly anymore.”

“In gambling, there’s winners and losers. Big brother being able to win such a gamble is an example of big brother’s strength.” Xue Ying continued to decline, however, “This truly is too precious.”

The White Sand City Lord remained silent.

His natural disposition was very straightforward, and sometimes when doing things, he followed his instinct! Back then, he had pilfered the Bloodshed God Emperor’s ‘World Sandheart Fruit’ because he desired to eat it. Only after eating it did he become scared and frightened. He felt that he had earned too much on his previous bet on Xue Ying. Taking out a little of his fortune to gift to his little brother was simply not much in his eyes.

“You really are…” The White Sand City Lord helplessly explained, “I won’t hide this matter from you. During the arena battle, that World Deity Venomous Ying kept targeting me, so I set down a bet! The bet is on your ranking in survival battle. If you’re first, I take it all. If you’re second, my losses will be tolerable. If you’re third or even lower, then I’ll be truly miserable.”

If he ranked third or even lower, the World Deity Venomous Ying would earn forty million Deity crystals, while Monarch Rong Hai and the others would each earn fifteen million Deity crystals.

Altogether, those five would win from him a grand total of a hundred million Deity crystals!

The pressure the White Sand City Lord faced was enormous.
