Chapter 253: I’ll Bet That You Win!
This time, Ling Chuxi understood what this book was for, saw the estimated odds behind her name and sneered. Then she raised her head and decisively asked Fu Chengyu. “Do you have money? Lend me some.”
“What do you want to do with it?” interrupted Lan Xinyu who could not help but ask. What was going on with the bad premonition that suddenly arose in her heart?
“I’m going to place a bet. I can earn a huge sum from it this time,” replied Ling Chuxi as she raised her brows and smiled. Then she turned her head to ruthlessly say to Lan Xinyu, “I’ll bet that you’ll win. So, if you lose and cause me to lose money, I’ll beat you to death! Of course, if you meet me or someone like E Shulan, I’ll let it be if you lose. After all, when such a time comes, I will not bet that you’ll win.”
Lan Xinyu, Fu Chengyu, Ling Yichen and Xia Zhuoyi were all left completely speechless.
“As for you two, Yichen and Zhuoyi, I’m also going to bet that you guys will win. If either of you cause me to lose any money, you’re dead!” barked Ling Chuxi as she glared at Ling Yichen and Xia Zhuoyi. “Of course, this excludes the times when you are competing against someone very strong. For those times, you are allowed to lose.”
Fu Chengyu finally laughed out loud. Without knowing why, his mood was really good. Seeing Ling Chuxi glaring around at everyone, he felt his heart skip a beat. Why did he find Ling Chuxi too cute at this moment?
“All right, then. I’ll lend you the money. I’ll lend you however much you want. Of course, I can’t lend you everything I have. I also need to learn from you and make bets of my own to earn big money.” The corners of Fu Chengyu’s lips had a smiling intent. Saying all this was so pedantic, but he still gave off a gentle and elegant vibe despite it.
Ling Chuxi took a look at her own odds and her gaze turned slightly cold. So, her odds were actually as such. Following the estimations of these odds, she could see that the people who set them felt that she could not even enter into the top five places in the competition.
“I’ll bet my entire family savings on you obtaining first place. Therefore, Ling Chuxi, if you lose, I’ll fight you to the very end!” proclaimed Lan Xinyu suddenly from the side.
“Don’t worry, I will not let you lose anything,” said Ling Chuxi as the corner of her lips curled up into a smirk and her clear gaze brimmed full of self-confidence. This time, she would definitely make it big! She needed to let the bosses of those gambling stalls lose till they didn’t even have their underwears left!
…
Although Ling Chuxi said all those things as such, she understood in her heart that it was not so easy if she wished to obtain first place this time. Even if she left Baili Han out of things, the expert who had experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body, the other people who were ranked above her in that book were no idlers. Although Feng Yan Union’s charges made Ling Chuxi’s teeth ache, she could not deny that the information they provided was indeed worth the price.
The competition was just around the corner. Ling Chuxi understood that this meant she needed to raise her own cultivation level within a short period of time.
This competition would be viewed by tens of thousands of people. A lot of people would use this opportunity to rise to fame. However, Ling Chuxi did not wish for fame. She simply wanted to become stronger. Strong enough to protect herself and find out the truth behind her origins. The duels with experts throughout this competition would be the best opportunity for her to train herself.
The next day, Ling Yichen and the rest woke up to find that Ling Chuxi was missing. All that was left behind was a thin piece of paper with a short message written on it: I will definitely return before the competition.
At present, Ling Chuxi had already left the city and went to the Silver Ancient Mountain Range outside the capital. This mountain range started from the west and stretched towards the east continuously. The whole range ran across a few different countries and that’s why it was known as the ten-thousand-mile mountain range. This mountain range was heaven for adventurers, and at the same time, it was also hell. There were countless treasures on the range as well as many more dangers that were even more difficult to prevent.
Ling Chuxi went to this mountain range alone to gain experience here, hoping to be able to raise her own cultivation level within a short period of time. She knew very well that one could not stop moving forward and that danger could bring out the explosive potential within a person to make them grow!
