Chapter 267: Who is the Real Fat Goat?
“Frankly, I think Baili Han is not bad. Yes, you can consider him,” said Ling Chuxi very seriously as she nodded.
“Consider, your head! Quickly, tell me exactly what happened this time around while you were gone! It really makes one admire, envy, be jealous and hate you all at once. You make people feel mentally imbalanced. No matter how I try, I just can’t catch up to your pace! It’s so frustrating!” burst out Lan Xinyu angrily. After finishing, she hesitantly continued, “However, really, congratulations. You have now truly stepped into the main gate of cultivators.” Lan Xinyu’s tone was sincere. She really did feel happy on Ling Chuxi’s behalf.
“The competition this time really makes one anticipate it,” said Fu Chengyu with a smile as he looked at Ling Chuxi. “However, I believe that Chuxi, you, will definitely come in first place.”
Ling Chuxi giggled. “Hey, talking about this, you’ve reminded me. Lend me money! Lend me money and let’s go place our bets!” Ling Chuxi’s eyes lit up as she recalled what she had planned to do.
“My entire family’s savings is placed on you winning. If you lose, I will chop you to death,” declared Lan Xinyu decisively as she glared at Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi laughed loudly and touched her own purse, “We should all get rich together. For the sake of my money, I will not lose.”
Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu looked at the two girls and smiled helplessly. However, they felt the whole house was full of warmth.
The biggest gambling house in the capital had long since opened a store along with several other gambling houses. When Ling Chuxi and the rest went to place their bets, the amount they bet left the attendant in a shock. He finally carefully invited them up the second floor.
The person who attended to them was the second-in-command of the gambling house—a middle-aged man with small eyes. After he took a clear look and saw that the person who had arrived was the Ninth Prince, his squinty eyes brightened up. The ninth prince was about to place a bet. No matter how, it would definitely be a big amount. It was just that it was not known who the ninth prince would bet on. Could it be that the ninth prince was also here to place a bet on Baili Han?
Squinty-eyes attended to Ling Chuxi and her bunch of friends. After everyone sat down, he courteously asked. “And who does Ninth Prince wish to place his bet on?”
“Ling Chuxi. I’m betting that she gets first place,” said Fu Chengyu as he calmly threw out a stack of gold paper notes.
Squinty-eyes’ eyeballs were about to pop out. Such a thick wade of gold paper notes. How much money was this? A few hundred thousand or was it a few million gold taels? It couldn’t be that the ninth prince was betting his entire fortune away, right? Who was he betting on? Squinty-eyes narrowed his small eyes into slits and dug his ear as he asked again for confirmation, “Ninth Prince, who did you say you wanted to bet on just now?”
“Ling Chuxi! Didn’t you hear it clearly? We are all betting on Ling Chuxi! First place!” snapped Lan Xinyu as she also dug out a stack of gold paper notes and placed it on the table. Although her money was a lot less in comparison to the ninth prince’s, it was still a lot to an ordinary person.
Squinty-eyes’ blinked and blinked before he finally regained his senses. Then, he felt a crazed delight, an extreme excitement. At this moment, the way he looked at Ling Chuxi and her friends was different. Now, squinty-eyes was looking at Ling Chuxi and the rest just as one would look at a vast amount of money and treasure. This group of fortune masters came here to give away money. Ha. Betting this much on Ling Chuxi?! Of course he knew who this person was. Her cultivation was not bad, but to think she’d get first place was absolutely insane! Feng Yan Union had proposed an extremely high price to have bought accurate information. Anyway, it was absolutely not possible for Ling Chuxi to obtain first place.
Ling Chuxi pursed her lips. The way squinty-eyes was looking at them now was as if they were fat goats ready for slaughter. Hmph! Who really knew who exactly the fat goat was? When the time comes, she’ll make them lose even their pants to pay off what they owe!
