Pu Tianyi looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention, then leaned out the window and said to the servant inside with a serious expression, "I want to bet a thousand high-grade spirit stones! They're all in this storage ring, you can count them yourself!"
“I just said, one thousand…” The servant was about to repeat the number Pu Tianyi had just mentioned, but then he realized something was wrong. He looked up at Pu Tianyi, his eyes filled with shock and confusion, “How much did you say?”
“A thousand high-grade spirit stones, bet on the girl fighting in the low-level arena over there.” Pu Tianyi pointed to the arena where Xu Yuehuai was.
The servant was about to question whether he had any spirit stones, but then he thought that this place was full of hidden talents, and if he really offended this big shot, he would be in deep trouble.
So the servant quickly picked up the storage ring on the table to check it. When he saw a high-grade spirit stone shining inside, his eyes widened! It was really not easy to encounter such a wealthy family in this lower realm.
The three realms are also known as the lower realm, the middle realm, and the upper realm; it all depends on which one people prefer to call it.
"This way, please!" Upon seeing the high-grade spirit stone, the waiter led the people to the inner lounge without hesitation. "Distinguished guests, please wait here for a moment. I will arrange for someone to serve you tea and snacks. This is the best vantage point, where you can see the fighting below."
The servant's flattery didn't bother Pu Tianyi and the others; they were treated with the same respect outside.
"I will record this for you distinguished guests right away. If you have any further instructions, please feel free to ask. I will serve you faithfully without complaint!" The servant bowed and nodded.
Pu Tianyi suddenly remembered that they still wanted to place bets, and turned around to ask, "Do you still want to place bets?"
Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge both paused for two seconds, considering whether it was still necessary to take out the few low-grade spirit stones in their pockets.
Pu Tianyi stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, the servant stepped forward and said, "If this distinguished guest wishes to place a bet, why not hand over the spirit stones to me, and I will take care of it perfectly for you!"
Pu Tianyi was taken aback and said, "But you just said that a thousand low-grade spirit stones can only be used to place bets at the outside casual gambling tables?"
The servant choked, his smile freezing for a moment. He wouldn't look down on the people in front of him. The fact that they could remain calm and composed under his enthusiastic attack just now already showed that they were not of low status. Besides, he had already taken out a thousand high-grade spirit stones, so betting some low-grade spirit stones wouldn't mean anything.
"No need! You are our honored guest, there's no need to be so polite! I can handle this small matter!" The servant raised his head, his eyes sincere, looking at Pu Tianyi as if he were a rare treasure.
Pu Tianyi had no intention of claiming the honor, and explained, "The one who placed the bet just now wasn't me, it was our friend, the girl who was fighting on stage."
The servant hadn't expected this, and his expression remained unchanged. "It doesn't matter. That distinguished guest's friend is, of course, also our distinguished guest!"
Of all the people Ji Yuanchi had met since childhood, none had been this obsequious. Everyone treated each other with respect and courtesy. She found it strange to see some people fight over resources, money, and power, even turning against each other and killing each other for the sake of their brothers.
But today I understand. No one dislikes being treated with courtesy and honored as a guest when traveling.
The servant took the less than two hundred low-grade spirit stones that Ji Yuanchi and the other two had pooled together to place a bet. Seeing this, the other servants at the other tables took the opportunity to mock him, "I didn't know you had become someone else's errand boy. You can get someone to personally place a bet for less than two hundred. Is there some important person here?"
The servant smiled mysteriously, turned and left, returning with the betting tokens. After handing the tokens to Pu Tianyi, he retreated to the door and stood guard, ready to give Pu Tianyi and the others any instructions.
On Xu Yuehuai's side.
After going up from the waiting area, she went to the display area so that the buyers who were placing bets could see more clearly what was going on between the two sides on the stage, so that they could place their bets more easily.
Many people noticed that the most powerful low-level python that came out to fight was actually a little girl, who looked thin and frail.
"Could this girl have run away from home? Look at her hands, they don't look like they're used to working at home. She must be some young lady who ran away from home. Tsk tsk tsk, I think she's definitely going to lose!"
"This arena is practically throwing money at me today! It's such an obvious fight, the python is the clear winner. This python is usually so powerful it's terrifying, but now it's just a piece of cake to crush a little girl!"
...
Everyone was overjoyed, feeling certain of their victory, and placed bets on the python, managing to recover some of the odds of the thousand high-grade spirit stones that Xu Yuehuai had bet on him.
When the gatekeeper was helping Pu Tianyi and the others place their bets, he also placed two bets himself, both for Xu Yuehuai. He thought no one would be so foolish as to spend so much money and lose it all.
In just a few minutes, more and more people learned that someone was throwing spirit stones at this low-level arena, and they all rushed over, placing bets on the python. But when they found that the odds hadn't changed much, their expressions changed. "Did you guys calculate it wrong? People are coming and going, placing bets, at least tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, but the progress hasn't moved at all. What's going on?"
Everyone was happy to see this happen, since they ended up getting more money themselves.
One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, or ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Therefore, the tens of thousands of spirit stones that these people placed were not even half of Xu Yuehuai's.
Xu Yuehuai received a lot of spirit stones from Ying Ziping, and later discovered that Yueying had also given him a lot of spirit stones as a reward.
So, without realizing it, Xu Yuehuai had become a very wealthy woman.
The arguing from below the stage did not reach the stage. When the match time was up, Xu Yuehuai moved slightly, his silver longsword slashing like a dragon, aiming straight at the python's head.
Snakes are naturally agile, but their large size makes them somewhat clumsy when they move. However, they are still faster than ordinary mythical beasts. They dodged the fatal blow and raised their heads, which were originally hanging on the ground, high up, making them appear majestic and powerful.
Xu Yuehuai looked up at it and launched another attack without hesitation, all of which struck the python's tail.
