Yu Yanluo was naturally confident in this regard, and she was about to agree when Zu An interrupted, "No, we don't have that many Yuan Stones on us."

Having lived among the demon race for so long, he also knew that gambling on stones was a very popular game among the local nobles.

Given their social status, ordinary gambling was certainly not respectable; only gambling on stones was both elegant and exciting, which is why it was so popular among the sons and daughters of noble families from various ethnic groups.

Shi Rong sneered, "As the head of a clan, you didn't even bring any spirit stones with you when you went out?"

Zu An sighed: "The snake clan has been struggling these past few years, so we're naturally a bit strapped for cash. Of course, we're not completely broke; we have over a hundred spirit stones on us."

The First Clan

The elemental stones circulating in this world are usually cut and processed into standard shapes, just like the gold and silver coins of the previous life, and are counted in pieces.

Of course, you can also count by weight, but that's not very convenient and is usually only used for large transactions.

"More than a hundred?" The lion princes were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

More than a hundred spirit stones would be a huge resource for an ordinary cultivator, but for the head of a clan, it was far too meager.

“Our Lion Clan values ​​chivalry, so as not to be accused of bullying women,” Lion Compassion said after a moment of contemplation. “How about this, you take one hundred Yuan Stones to Biyuan later and choose a few stones. As long as you can cut something out of them, I, the prince, will compensate you with another one at the same price.”

Lion Rong and Lion Gong, who were standing nearby, got anxious and tugged at his sleeves to remind him. They really couldn't understand how their usually resourceful third brother would do something so foolish that he could make a sure profit.

Lion's Compassion transmitted his voice, "Don't worry, how else can we get them to bleed so much if we don't attract them to participate?"

Shi Rong was puzzled: "They only have a little over a hundred spirit stones on them, what would they lose if they bleed again?"

Lion's Smile sneered, "Right now they only dare to take out a hundred spirit stones because they have some reservations. Once they taste the sweetness, they will be unable to stop, and then they will have no choice. Even if they don't have enough spirit stones on them, don't forget that they have the Snake Clan behind them."

"Trading in snake-related minerals and snake venom is a lucrative business. We'll find a way to win over those two businesses later."

Upon hearing his explanation, Lion Rong and Lion Gong's eyes lit up. Third Brother is indeed Third Brother, truly brilliant.

At this moment, Zu'an also pretended to be interested and discussed it with Yu Yanluo, seemingly encouraging her to participate.

Yu Yanluo reluctantly agreed, "Alright, let's give it a try."

Yan Xuehen silently observed all of this, and naturally knew that Zu An had done all of this on purpose. This guy was really cunning; he schemed against someone and then the person still took the initiative to get close to him.

Even Yu Yanluo has gone astray with him...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be startled. Hadn't she also been corrupted by him? She used to never lie, but now she could lie without batting an eye.

Seeing that they agreed, Shi Min was afraid they would change their minds, so he hurriedly said, "Then let's go. Biyuan is not far ahead, we'll be there soon."

Normally, they would have sped over long ago, but instead they subtly surrounded Zu An and his group, moving at a leisurely pace.

They walked on the ground, as if afraid that the enemy would back down at the last minute.

Yun Jianyue transmitted her voice to the group, asking, "Are you two really confident?"

Although she was a Grandmaster, the Demonic Sect's meager financial situation did not allow her to gamble on such a luxurious game as jade gambling.

Unfortunately, cultivation is of little use in the jade gambling business, because the surface of those rough stones seems to absorb the cultivator's divine sense, making it impossible to see what's inside.

However, it is precisely because of this that it brings unparalleled excitement to those who participate in jade gambling.

Zu An smiled but remained silent, while Yu Yanluo nodded subtly. After all, she had once managed the Yu family's Yuan Stone business, and she had absolute confidence in her judgment in this area.

Seeing this, Yun Jianyue also showed excitement: "Good, give them a good beating, preferably until they lose everything except their underwear!"

Clearly, what had just happened had angered her, but for various reasons she couldn't take action herself, so she left it to Yu Yanluo.

Yu Yanluo blushed slightly, but still replied, "I will do my best."

Soon the group arrived at Biyuan Garden. Even through the gate, they could feel a vibrant life force approaching them. They could vaguely see the lush greenery inside the garden, and not only were there fragrant flowers, but they could also hear the clear and melodious chirping of birds.

It's well known that the north is bitterly cold and rarely has such lush vegetation. To maintain this scene here must have taken a tremendous amount of effort; it's truly a grand undertaking.

However, what is even more eye-catching is the tallest building in the park, which is truly a magnificent palace, radiant with light and color.

"Are these bricks and tiles all made of jade?" Zu'an was taken aback.

"What's so strange about that? You country bumpkin, you've never seen the world before," Shi Rong sneered, feeling a strange sense of superiority as he looked at the other man's country bumpkin-like appearance.

Shi Min, worried that his younger brother might offend them too much and make them back down prematurely, stepped forward to ease the atmosphere and introduced, "This Biyuan Garden is a leisure garden built by the most famous Fox Merchant Guild of the demon race in the royal court. It usually only entertains the most outstanding people in the royal court and various races. Reservations can be booked up for half a year in advance. Ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, are not qualified to enter."

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone, as if he were saying that Zuan and his group were only able to enter because of their connections.

Zuan wasn't annoyed. He was more concerned about something else. So this Biyuan was also part of the Fox Chamber of Commerce. He had seen this chamber of commerce in Qingqiu Kingdom before. He wondered if this chamber of commerce had any connection with Tu Shanyu and the others.
