Chapter 997 Borrowing Money
Five days later, Xu Chuniang ushered in the second match after promotion.
Due to her outstanding performance against the Corrupted Grudge, as expected, her odds once again became lower, down to two to one, a full four times lower compared to the previous match.
Now, almost the entire arena knew that she had the ability to speak spirits, and even Shaoguang had heard about it and had specially spared time to watch her fight.
As a Speech Spirit Clan, Shaoguang possessed amazing acuity, and the moment Xu Chuniang entered the arena, Shaoguang’s gaze locked onto her.
“How about it, have you considered my last offer?”
Xu Chuniang heard the voice transmission and was now sweeping around the antechamber, quickly seeing Shaoguang, who gestured to her.
These days, she had more or less heard about Shaoguang’s identity from others, knowing that she had a deep background and a Heavenly Immortal Master as her backer.
I’m afraid that Shaoguan’s saying that he wanted to befriend her was a lie, and when he became acquainted in the future, wanting to rope her in for the Three Heavens’ Master was the real thing.
“I’m sorry, I don’t think I have anything out of the ordinary that is worthy of Immortal Shao’s thoughts.”
Shaoguang raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself as she continued to transmit her voice, “The way you say that, you can’t be looking down on me and thinking that I’m not worthy of friendship with you, right?”
The two people sitting beside Shaoguang detected the words and realized that Xu Chuniang had rejected Shaoguan, and couldn’t help but transmit their voices to rebuke him.
“You’re so rude, Fairy Shaoguang is willing to take the initiative to fellowship with you, what a great honor and sentiment, and you actually don’t appreciate it?”
“Fairy Shaoguan thinks highly of you, it’s because she thinks highly of you, don’t rely on the fact that you have a few points of strength, and take Qiao here!”
Xu Chuniang didn’t take the two men’s words to heart, and only looked towards Shaoguang, “I have a competition coming up next, so I won’t delay Immortal Shaoguan from watching the battle, farewell.”
Seeing Xu Chuniang say goodbye and then really hang herself out to dry, Shaoguang froze and was still a bit surprised.
Because of her identity, she had always been very popular in the fighting arena, and wherever she went, she was a star-studded presence.
Before she took the initiative to make friends with people, no one dared to refuse her request, could it be that this Xu Chuniang, is not as simple as it appears on the surface, and has some kind of powerful background?
As Shaoguang pondered, the two people sitting beside her fought for her.
“This Xu Chuniang, relying on the fact that she won a few matches, she even disregarded Immortal Shao, and at the expense of the Immortal, for her sake, she even purposely inquired about the time of her fight and came to watch the battle!”
“That’s! According to me, it’s only right to teach her a lesson, and when she plants her head, she should put away that ridiculous arrogance!”
Shaoguang was noncommittal, and faintly said, “In my opinion, Xu Chuniang’s chances of winning today’s match are above seventy percent.”
The remaining two looked at each other and tentatively asked, “Then should we place a little bet and press her to win?”
Shaoguang nodded and took out his identity token and handed it to the two men.
“You guys go and place a bet for me, just press …… 1,000 immortal crystals, the fighting arena is ever-changing, accidents can happen at any time, victory or defeat is uncertain, don’t be paranoid about winning a large amount of immortal crystals by placing a bet, just play around.”
“Okay, then the two of us will also join in the fun, each press one thousand.”
While the three of them were discussing, Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao were also discussing how many Immortal Crystals they should press for this match.
Speaking of discussing, it was mainly Gong Lao who was saying that he couldn’t decide how many Immortal Crystals to press.
Pressing a little less it, always feel earn less, put heavy bets it, but also worried that there will be accidents, blood money.
He face hesitation said, “I heard that your opponent this time, the strength is not as good as the last time the rotting grudge it, the combined win rate is less than 70%, I think you can win this time.”
Xu Chuniang slowly raised her head, helplessly swept a glance at Gong Lao, “Gong Lao, there is less than half an incense stick of time, the fight will begin, in the end you think well, how much do you want to bet? If you don’t place a bet, I still have to place a bet!”
Gong Lao was provoked by her and gritted his teeth, “I’ll bet a thousand!” Xu Chuniang gave him an odd look, “Only a thousand? Last time when you were in my courtyard, you didn’t say that, I thought you had to bet three to five thousand at least.”
Gong Lao’s old face reddened, don’t look at the fact that he had been in the Immortal Realm for so long, but he was actually quite timid, especially when it came to Immortal Crystals.
After all, it wasn’t easy for him to save some money.
This time, if he was willing to bet a thousand, for him, it was already blood money.
He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
“Last time was last time, this time is this time, if you win, I will only be able to earn five hundred Immortal Crystals, and after removing the tickets to watch the fight these two times, there won’t be more than a few pennies left at all!”
Xu Chuniang nodded in understanding, “Gong Lao do you have any immortal crystals on you, lend me some, I’ll return it to you in a while.”
Although Gong Lao was a bit surprised, he still asked, “How much do you want?”
“Not much, twenty-two thousand.”
“Twenty-two thousand?”
Gong Lao was taken aback, “What do you want so many immortal crystals for, are you planning to buy a house and mansion in Floating Jade City, that’s too fast, why don’t you wait for a year or two and then buy it?”
Xu Chuniang was almost amused by Gong Lao, stifled a laugh, “I borrowed the money not to buy a mansion, anyway, I’ll return it to you in a while, probably in half an hour, do you have so many immortal crystals on you?”
“Of course.”
Gong Lao’s tone was quite a bit self-satisfied, “I’m an Earth Immortal who has worked diligently for so many years, how could I not even get this amount of Immortal Crystals?”
Saying that, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a note of indebtedness in a sharp and bold manner.
“The two of us are so familiar, and you only borrowed it for half an hour, I won’t count the interest as yours, but the amount is too large, the contract still has to be signed.”
“OK.”
Xu Chuniang gladly took the contract, wrote her name on it, and collected one of the copies.
Gong Lao collected the other contract and handed Xu Chuniang a brocade bag, “The immortal crystals are all in here, you count them, say it in advance, this brocade bag I’m just lending you to use, and you have to return it to me together when you return the money.”
Xu Chuniang separated a strand of divine sense into the bag, after confirming that there is no error, the bag will be put away, waved his hand at Gong Lao.
“Alright, then I’ll leave first, we’ll talk again after the fight is over in a while.”
Looking at the direction Xu Chuniang left, Gong Lao couldn’t help but mutter, “What does she want to borrow so many immortal crystals for, could it be to place a bet?”
Thinking of the amount Xu Chunniang borrowed away, Gong Lao was startled, then shook his head, overturning his guess.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The arena had stipulated that the limit for each person to place a bet was 10,000 Immortal Crystals, and for her to borrow so many Immortal Crystals had far exceeded the limit for placing a bet.
She must be in a hurry to use her Immortal Crystals because she has other important matters to attend to.
Seeing that the fight is about to start, Gong Lao did not think any more, quickly walked to the betting place, bought a thousand Immortal Crystals chips, pressure Xu Chunniang win.
Covering the thumping heart, Gong Lao slowed down for a while, then gripped the chips tightly and walked towards the stands.
