Chapter 688 Little Fool
Ye Xiaoman hadn't been threatened for a long time, so this feeling was really fresh.
She maintained a sad and tearful look, with her head hanging cowardly and uselessly, and tightly twisting her fingers, vividly portraying the image of an honest person who was at a loss after encountering a big thing.
Honest people value face and reputation, and they cannot let their image be ruined.
She asked shamefacedly, "Do you promise to destroy the video after you get the Taotie Beast?"
The more panicked Ye Xiaoman appeared, the more satisfied Qing Yuanhu was.
The familiar feeling of being in control of everything meant that he didn't even need to take out his abacus to calculate the next step.
To be fair, even though he was on the opposing side, he was still amazed by Qing Zhengzong's performance.
A group of low-level cultivators were able to take advantage of the conflicts within the Huantian Chamber of Commerce to pry the three on-duty owners into cooperation. They relied on their brains to break into the last level of the treasure house. They were also able to take advantage of the Ghost Lord and the God Emperor's disruption to disrupt his and Wu Shisan Niang's plans and successfully steal the treasure.
Whether it was the means of planning, the courage to dare to challenge others, or the unique good luck, he applauded them all.
As an outsider, he could see clearly that Xiao Chujing was the one who was behind all this.
Ye Xiaoman was like a useless vase, just playing a supporting role.
To be honest he was a little disappointed.
After Ye Xiaoman's result of being ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking came out of nowhere, it was a bombshell that shook the world and sent a shockwave through the usually calm world of cultivation. She was a groundbreaking first person. Like everyone else, he had imagined what a brilliant and talented genius she was.
Today's meeting is nothing special.
The fake five spiritual roots are indeed useless. The reason he can get to where he is today may be due to Xiao Chujing's support.
Qing Yuanhu's eyes swept over Ye Xiaoman's eyebrows and saw that her skin was like jade covered with fresh snow, with a pink tint under the corners of her eyes. She bit her lips in distress, revealing a charm unintentionally.
He easily guessed the story, which was nothing more than that young cultivators were easily tempted by love. As a senior brother, they had been together day and night in the sect and fell in love with the most beautiful junior sister.
Since the junior sister was useless, he willingly supported her, giving her money, magic weapons, and resources, and worked tirelessly to help her grow.
They even gave up the opportunity to become famous.
This kind of story is common in the world of cultivation. If one lacks talent, he or she will use beauty to pave the way. It's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.
Qing Yuanhu suddenly felt bored.
After finally finding a game partner, I discovered that the other person is not even qualified to be my opponent.
He yawned out of sheer boredom.
"Well, not only will I not let you be disgraced, but considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will also consider exonerating you and your fellow disciples from the charge of attacking the treasure house of my Huantian Chamber of Commerce."
Ye Xiaoman quickly begged for mercy: "I will give you the monster, as long as you don't tell anyone about me."
The voice became smaller and smaller. "I can't afford to lose face."
"Deal." Qing Yuanhu curled his lips and smiled, and stretched out his hand in front of Ye Xiaoman as if he had no bones.
The opening of his shirt was wide open. Ye Xiaoman raised her ashamed eyes slightly and let them fall on his collarbone, seeing the light shadow swaying in the groove of his collarbone like wine.
She asked in a crying voice, "Can I make a deal with you?"
Qing Yuanhu hooked his fingers, as if scratching her pointed chin from a distance.
"It's no use begging for mercy."
Ye Xiaoman sniffed, pulled the necklace hanging around her neck out from her collar, and took out a Lingsui Yu Guan Er bottle from the pendant of the necklace.
Qing Yuanhu identified at a glance that the material of this small bottle was priceless and was specially used to store high-grade materials.
Ye Xiaoman held the bottle in her palm and showed it to Qing Yuanhu.
She told him, "This is Xiyi Bao."
In the translucent vase, the treasures are like teardrops, reflecting an intoxicating halo. Qing Yuanhu has personally passed through countless treasures in the world, and he cannot help but be attracted by its holiness and sin.
The arc of Qing Yuanhu's peach blossom eyes became rounder, and he couldn't help revealing a surprised expression: "There really is a Xiyi treasure in this world!"
Compared to this legendary treasure that has never appeared in the world, the Water Spirit Pearl that can be sold five times every year is nothing. Everyone can tell the difference between a pearl and a fish eye, and which one is more valuable.
Ye Xiaoman touched the bottle wall reluctantly, "Senior Brother Xiao gave it to me."
It's Xiao Chujing again.
This Xiao Chujing is really a talent, and Qing Yuanhu wants to recruit him.
He truly loves Ye Xiaoman. How could he trust such a precious thing to a little fool?
The little fool didn't understand the principle of not showing off one's wealth. He didn't even know to keep the treasure properly, but actually took it out to show him.
If the Xiyi treasure could be included in the treasury of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely become a hot topic around the world. By then, not to mention selling it for 1 billion high-quality spirit stones, it would be possible to exchange it for any resources from the major immortal cultivation families.
Qing Yuanhu reached out for Xiyi Bao, but Ye Xiaoman held it cautiously in her arms, staring at him with wide eyes, as if she was afraid that he would snatch it away.
The way she guarded the food made Qing Yuanhu, the profiteer, smile even more. He persuaded her, "If you can't bear to part with the Taotie beast, you can use this as a substitute."
Ye Xiaoman easily aroused Qing Yuanhu's interest. When she heard his words, she resisted the urge to spit at him.
The unscrupulous businessman may wishful thinking, but sooner or later he will make you lose all your money.
Her melancholy expression remained unchanged. She swallowed her saliva and said with difficulty, as if she had finally made a decision: "I want to make a bet with you."
Qing Yuanhu fiddled with the magic mirror in his hand, his sea-blue hair twitching. "I'm listening."
Ye Xiaoman scratched her hair.
"I... if Senior Brother Xiao knew that I just gave the Taotie Beast away, he would definitely be very angry. Hey, you don't know how scary Xiao Chujing is when he's angry. I think he might beat me up."
"So I want to salvage it, just in case."
"Oh?" Qing Yuanhu said sympathetically, "You really want to recover the losses of the Taotie Beast?"
Ye Xiaoman looked at him cautiously, "I hope this matter can be resolved perfectly."
Qing Yuanhu often went in and out of casinos and had seen many gambler mentality like Ye Xiaoman.
People are like this. It is difficult for them to accept the loss of a large amount of wealth all of a sudden. Even if they lose, they are not willing to accept the defeat, but want to make a comeback. They are even willing to borrow more money to bet, thinking that maybe this time they can make a comeback and make back the money with interest.
The little fool is well protected and may have never stepped into a casino in his life. He doesn't know a bloody fact: the more you gamble, the more you lose.
Qing Yuanhu's expression became even more agreeable. He asked in a low voice, "How do you want to bet?"
Ye Xiaoman scratched her head again.
She stared at people blankly and rarely blinked. She seemed to have a bad brain and her thoughts were very slow, which led to her speaking slowly.
She asked, "What time is it?"
