A highly capable heir of an ancient martial arts family unexpectedly transmigrates into ancient times! Not a princess, not a daughter of a noble family, but a villainous mother whose home was just ...
Pu Erge had no idea what kind of mush was going through his younger brother's head. "How dare you say that? You brought your little sister and Yueyue to a place like this? And you gambled? Do you know that gambling is strictly forbidden in this family! If Grandpa finds out this time, it's a different story whether you can keep your life!"
Ji Yuanchi, hands in her pockets, said, "Oh my, so this is what Third Brother meant by 'understanding'? First brothels, then gambling dens, you're really something, getting involved in both prostitution and gambling!"
Ji Yuanchi, always eager for drama, kept adding fuel to the fire.
Xu Yuehuai didn't feel anything special and quietly watched Pu Tianyi being lectured.
Pu Tianyi cried and dodged, muttering, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I just wanted my two younger sisters to experience the dangers of society before they left. I've never been here before. My friend told me that this gambling den is the cleanest, there won't be any fighting, and it's very safe, so I brought you here!"
Pu Erge stopped what he was doing. He didn't doubt Pu Tianyi's words much, but his eyes were still very unfriendly. "This is unnecessary! What kind of social skills do you need to learn in a gambling den? Change it again! If you still have these low-class things later, I will definitely tell Grandpa everything when I get back today, and he will punish you according to family rules!"
Pu Erge's threat was effective. Pu Tianyi trembled and continued to lead the way with a pitiful expression.
"Fine, I won't go then. I'm not willing to share these good things with you guys!" Pu Tianyi walked ahead, muttering aggrievedly.
Although he complained verbally, he behaved himself and chose safe and healthy activities, which finally satisfied Brother Pu.
After a day of fooling around, Pu Tianyi and Xu Yuehuai had become good friends. "Hehe, it's so late, you didn't expect it, did you? There's still a show! You'll find out tonight!"
Pu Tianyi looked mysterious as the four of them emerged from a performance venue. The actors on stage were truly lifelike and vivid in their performances.
Pu Erge glanced at him and said, "Don't cause any trouble."
This is a warning to Pu Tianyi to prevent the reappearance of things like brothels and gambling dens.
Pu Tianyi walked in front, followed by three people. All three looked ahead with curiosity, wanting to know what their next destination was.
Upon arrival, Ji Yuanchi looked around and realized that she hadn't been to this area much before, and the door was so small that she couldn't see what was inside.
Upon entering, there were two men in black guarding the entrance. They had special patterns painted on their clothes. Pu Tianyi gave one of the guards a token, which the guard looked at and returned to Pu Tianyi. Then, the four of them proceeded.
Pu Erge looked around and felt something was off. A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. "You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?"
He rarely visited Qingcheng and didn't know much about it. During their brief encounter, he only felt that the pattern on the man in black looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
They walked through a long, dark passage. Xu Yuehuai observed her surroundings, but before she could react, Yuan Shui in the space sensed it first: "There are many animal auras here."
Xu Yuehuai was puzzled and asked, "Animales? Domesticated? Or are you referring to places where they are bought and sold?"
Yuan Shui thought of something and then denied it, "This should be a gladiatorial arena."
Xu Yuehuai was startled. She had never been to the Colosseum before, but she had heard many rumors about this place.
Upon smelling the blood, Pu Erge realized where he was. He glared at Pu Tianyi and said, "Pu Tianyi, I think you really want to get beaten up. We agreed to come out and have fun, why did you come here!"
This time, Pu Tianyi wasn't hesitant or submissive; his eyes held an unprecedented level of relaxation. "Second brother, enjoy it. Don't be so tense. Your sisters will have to face these things sooner or later, so why worry? It's better for family members to show you these scenes than for you to be forced to see them someday, isn't it?"
Pu Erge frowned, "Absurd!"
They argued, but they didn't stop walking. People kept coming in behind them, and if they stopped, they would block the people behind them.
The Colosseum is a massive battleground of life and death. Unlike ordinary fights between beasts, here it is between humans and beasts. In the fight, it is a matter of life and death, and deception and treachery.
There is a way for both sides to survive. Once, a human said something like that to a beast, but after the beast completely believed him, he took advantage of the beast's relaxed guard and killed it with a single blow.
This incident left many people feeling ashamed, with some even feeling embarrassed despite winning. A small minority, however, felt there was nothing wrong with it, and several similar cases of deception occurred afterward.
The people in the arena wouldn't just leave the beasts to their fate, so they started telling every beast that humans couldn't be trusted in a fight. So no matter how many people used this tactic, the result was always the same.
During the conversation, the four of them reached the exit of the corridor. When the light shone on their heads, they suddenly felt a sense of openness and clarity.
Ji Yuanchi curiously leaned over the railing and looked down. When Pu Erge saw him come in, he didn't say anything, but his face remained dark. The other three people walked to Ji Yuanchi's side and looked down at the same time.
A man holding a hammer was facing a spirit beast, a tiger, which was enormous and clearly a spirit, able to understand human speech and possessing its own consciousness.
"Go! Tiger, kill him! I've staked everything on you!"
"Hey young man, you absolutely mustn't lose! I trust you completely. If you lose, all my money will be wasted!"
...
The sounds of cheering and encouragement for the person and the beast kept coming from all around.
The tiger circled, emitting two angry growls from its nostrils, its head lowered, poised to strike.
The man also gripped the hammer tightly in his hand, ready to strike the tiger without hesitation should it dare to leap over.
The tiger attacked first. It seized the opportunity and went straight for the man's head, biting it off. The man reacted and immediately raised his weapon to fight back, but before the hammer could land on the tiger, his head was bitten off first.
The tiger spat out its severed head, its eyes filled with disdain and contempt. With arrogant and haughty strides, it walked back through the entrance below the arena.
Standing beside Xu Yuehuai and the others, some were happy and some were sad. This was a high-stakes gamble. Betting without knowing the strength of the opponent was a complete guessing game, and the chances of winning were fifty-fifty.
