425 Forgot to tell you (1/2)

”Shall we make a bet?”

Speechless said on a whim, ”Since the both of us have our differences, why don't we make a bet? I'll bet that the Celestial King will win, while you bet that the Infernal King will win. How about it?”

Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows pricked up slightly as he said, ”What will be the bet?”

Speechless fell silent for a moment. He lowered his head in thought and after a long while, he said with a sly smile, ”The loser will have to satisfy any request the winner makes as long as it doesn't touch their bottom line.”

Shi Xiaobai could not help but hesitate when he heard this. He was obviously filled with confidence about his victory, but the bet seemed too strange. Furthermore, he had nothing he wanted to request from Speechless.

At that moment, Mu Yuesheng finally could not stand watching this. She said to Shi Xiaobai, ”Shi Xiaobai, don't bet with him.”

Shi Xiaobai gave her a questioning look.

Mu Yuesheng gave Speechless a glance and said after some hesitation, ”The Celestial King is extremely shameless, but he is indeed very strong. Without any surprises, the Celestial King will be the final victor.”

Mu Yuesheng did not choose to expose Speechless's 'scam' because the moment she exposed him, Speechless would end up in an awkward situation. However, she could not bear watching Shi Xiaobai being fooled. In her heart, Speechless and Shi Xiaobai both took very important spots in her heart. One of them was a cousin with blood relations who once stood up for her when she was young, while the other was a partner who she was filled with respect and gratitude for.

Speechless stared silently at Mu Yuesheng and expressed unhappiness at her aid towards an outsider.

Speechless who wanted to scam Shi Xiaobai naturally did not plan on giving up so easily. He immediately tried to goad Shi Xiaobai on by saying, ”It's fine if you don't want to make the bet. After all, the Celestial King is indeed very powerful and terrifying. The bet is unfair to begin with.”

Shi Xiaobai saw through Speechless's intentions and found it amusing. From the looks of it, the Celestial King was truly very strong for Speechless to have such huge confidence. From Speechless and Mu Yuesheng's point of view, the Infernal King was no match for the Celestial King under normal circumstances.

However, the present situation was not normal.

Speechless and Mu Yuesheng would never guess that he was the Infernal King.

Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment. The goading which lacked any tricks could be ignored by him but for some reason, he wanted to accept the bet.

Even though the bet did not really attract him, it was free after all, wasn't it?

Shi Xiaobai made up his mind and said with a grin, ”Since you want to bet, so be it. When you lose, don't you go back on your word. This King has to take the time to think about his request.”

Speechless was delighted when he heard this. He felt like the fish had been hooked. He immediately said, ”A man never goes back on his word.”

As such, a bet that both sides had their own 'schemes' was formed.

At that moment, deafening footsteps came from the other end of the horizon.

The ground was trembling violently as the footsteps sounded like thunder. As it approached, everyone turned to look at it. Before they could see anything, their minds could imagine the scene of a massive object walking over.

And when they really saw it, they discovered that the monster they imagined was not as terrifying as the hundred-meter-tall giant that was walking from the horizon. The terrifying scene of a mountain approaching them was stifling.

Shi Xiaobai, Pulp Farmer and the rest who had been to Transcendence immediately recognized the hundred-meter-tall giant that came in such an imposing manner as the lowly gatekeeping giant of Transcendence. They were surprised as they looked in each others' eyes and saw their thoughts in them.

”He is the new king of Transcendence?”

The hundred-meter-tall giant approached slowly before he suddenly made a leap, traversing several kilometers. He agilely entered a huge basin and with a boom, it was as if a mountain had crashed down from the sky. Many members of the audience were thrown into the air before they plummeted down in a wretched state.
