Chapter 1102 (2/2)
With a faint smile, Xia Hong’s eyes scanned Nine Nether’s slender body lewdly, and he took a look at the beautiful Lin Jing. A dirty smile appeared on his lips, and he said, “A pure battle is rather boring. Why don’t we gamble on something?”
Mu Chen’s eyes remained calm when he heard this. He was obviously uninterested. But before Mu Chen could say anything, Lin Jing’s eyes brightened up, and she asked with great interest, “Ooh, ooh, on what?”
“Let’s bet on who will win, him? Or me?” Xia Hong pointed at Mu Chen, and he continued with a sheepish smile, “If I lose, I will let you all leave in peace, along with three Sacred Artifacts.”
Hearing this, many of the spectators could not help clicking their tongues. Tsk tsk tsk. Three Sacred Artifacts… with his deep pockets, this Xia Hong really could promise anything.
Lin Jing blinked her pretty eyes a few times as she said, “What if you win?”
“Then I will have you two beauties by my side,” Xia Hong answered with a laugh.
Lin Jing pouted her small red lips and complained with a laugh, “Are the two of us only worth three Sacred Artifacts? Our prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is rather stingy.”
Shocked, Xia Hong asked with a twitching eyebrow, “Then, what do you suggest, young lady?”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Jing answered nonchalantly, “You should write a receipt and stamp it with a spiritual seal, saying that you’ll owe me a 100,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid if you lose.”
Wow!
Many jaws dropped as she finished speaking. Even Xia Hong’s face twitched for awhile. A hundred million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid could even empty the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty.
A hundred million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid could even buy a True Sacred Artifact!
With a stiffened face, Xia Hong replied with a dry laugh, “Young lady, this is rather unrealistic. Furthermore, forgive my frankness but, even with the receipt in hand, you won’t be able to take a drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid from the Great Xia Dynasty.”
He was not lying. Anyone holding a receipt for a hundred million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and trying to claim it from the Great Xia Dynasty would probably be sentenced to their end by his father, the King, for their astronomical greed. Even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would not be able to claim this amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Lin Jing ignored this and continued saying with pouting lips, “If you don’t have the guts, why gamble? Just fight normally! What a waste of my time!”
Sensing the indifference in Lin Jing’s voice, Xia Hong frowned tightly, then he replied with a laugh, “Alright then! Since our young lady is so interested, I shall be profligate with my purse!”
He took out a golden scroll, and as his fingers danced before it, spiritual energy was transformed into words in thin air before fusing with the scroll. At the end, with a flick of his fingers, a drop of his blood fell onto the scroll, forming a spiritual seal.
After all this, Xia Hong threw the golden scroll carelessly, and it transformed into a stream of golden light, shooting into one of the stone lions on the stadium.
“If I lose, then you can take it. But I have to remind you, if you really plan to claim this from the Great Xia Dynasty, you will be seeking your own death,” Xia Hong said with a smile.
He did not think much of it, as he assumed Lin Jing was just messing around. Moreover, he never thought that he would lose. Even if he actually did, anyone who would really take the receipt to the Great Xia Dynasty would be an utter fool.
“Well, chasing the debt is my job. You don’t have to worry about it.” When she saw this, Lin Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox’s eyes with a glint of cunning in them.
“Mu Chen, the rest depends on you. After you win, we will split the 100,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in half!” Lin Jing looked at Mu Chen and pumped her fists to encourage him.
Seeing her actions, Mu Chen did not know whether to cry or laugh, but he nodded anyway, and he looked at Xia Hong with a bit of sympathy. How wonderful would his expression be when he realized that the playful girl before him was the daughter of the well-known Martial Ancestor of the Great Thousand World?
Although the Great Xia Dynasty was a tyrannical force, if they were to find trouble with this young girl, it would not be a simple matter like a few Upper Earthly Sovereigns showing up. If they really did provoke her, and a Heavenly Sovereign from the Martial Border was sent for her, Emperor Xia could only swallow his grievances.
Xia Hong had jumped into an abyss dug for him by Lin Jing…
Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged looks and silently nodded.
“This unlucky child… is really too naive.”
