The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Upon hearing Liu Mingyue mention a bet, Kuzhu shook his head quickly, "You're joking, a bet! No way!"

"I already lost my ancestral Grinding Heart Pestle to you, and you still want to bet with me? Bet on what, a ghost?"

"If I lose again, will you take away even my casket board?"

Besides, Liu Mingyue already knows Tang Rao, and Xiao Yun is at the Kao Shan Sect, surely passing some intel from that sect to Liu Mingyue. Maybe, this fool is some formidable person..."

"No bet, Mingyue, let's not bet." Kuzhu waved his hand.

"Truly spineless..." Liu Mingyue glanced at Kuzhu and snorted.

Kuzhu: "..."

"Actually, that fool isn't some Special Spiritual Root, nor does he possess any powerful trump card, you can be completely at ease with that. And who's Zhi Xin? Undoubtedly one of your Ten Thousand Buddha Temple's top talents, with not only superior innate ability but also a higher realm and profound foundation than the fool. Given the Kao Shan Sect's limited resources, they're definitely no match for the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. I think Zhi Xin's odds of winning are far greater than the fool's." Liu Mingyue seemed unwilling as she continued to speak to Kuzhu.

Kuzhu glanced at Liu Mingyue. The more Liu Mingyue talked like this, the less he wanted to bet.

"If Zhi Xin has higher odds, why do you still want to bet? And why do you insist on betting on the fool winning?" Kuzhu asked.

"I could bet on Zhi Xin too, how about we switch? You bet on the fool and I bet on Zhi Xin, let's make a bet." Liu Mingyue said with a smile.

Kuzhu's brain was buzzing, no matter how he thought, he couldn't fathom Liu Mingyue's intention.

He truly didn't know what she was trying to do.

Was it just to make a bet with him? Previously, Liu Mingyue didn't seem to enjoy betting this much...

"Mingyue, I'm a monk, you know, and monks aren't really suited for gambling." Kuzhu responded.

"You're exaggerating, look at your Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, even opening a gambling table, how is that not suitable for gambling? Your place is nearly a gambling den now. Furthermore, the concept of gambling tables will definitely be expanded greatly in the future, then, your Ten Thousand Buddha Temple will be the origin! They are so high-class, aren't they? The sanctuary for gamblers..." Liu Mingyue eyed Kuzhu as she replied.

Kuzhu nearly wanted to bang his head against the wall, "Mingyue, can you not speak so hurtfully?"

"What are you really aiming for, Mingyue? You didn't use to like gambling..."

"In any case, one word, gamble or not, you first say who you're betting on. If you're betting on the fool, then go ahead, if you're betting on Zhi Xin, then bet on Zhi Xin." Liu Mingyue said.

"Then tell me why you must bet..."

"My stake is: if you lose, you must unconditionally help Tang Rao three times." Liu Mingyue stared at Kuzhu.

Kuzhu frowned.

"As you've mentioned, things are going to get chaotic. Since they're chaotic, let them be chaotic thoroughly." Liu Mingyue squinted, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Seeing the cold light in Liu Mingyue's eyes, Kuzhu suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"Mingyue, you still can't let go...well, the matter of the Emperor Sect..."

"Don't babble about this matter, if it were you, could you let it go? If you keep persuading me to let it go...otherwise, I'll consider you no longer an old friend." Liu Mingyue's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

"Ah...fine, fine, whatever you say. Bet it is, I'll choose Zhi Xin then." Kuzhu said.

Actually, Kuzhu knew that his promise to help Tang Rao three times unconditionally was definitely going to be handed over. Even if Liu Mingyue didn't win this bet, she would keep betting until she won.

"Alright, then I'll choose the fool to win. Old Kuzhu, honestly, I didn't deceive you about this probability, Zhi Xin's odds are indeed higher." Liu Mingyue remarked.

Kuzhu spread his hands, actually, Liu Mingyue had said to this extent, and ultimately the outcome between the fool and Zhi Xin wasn't very important.

…

"Benefactor, how should I address you?" Zhi Xin asked the fool from the arena.

"Fool." The fool said.

"Uh...this... isn't that name a bit, you know, impolite?" Zhi Xin looked a bit embarrassed, directly calling someone a fool, isn't that usually an insult?"

"It's alright, I just go by fool." The fool smiled lightly, Zhi Xin appeared to be a decent person.

Of course, he was also very strong.

A fourth-level Immortal Monarch, and from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Just by sheer foundation, Zhi Xin shouldn't be far behind him, a formidable opponent.

Wanting to beat Zhi Xin, the fool wasn't overly confident, he could only say it was fifty-fifty.

After all, he was only a third-level Immortal Monarch, one level behind Zhi Xin.

"Alright, then, shall we start now? I'm ready. In terms of realm, you're one level lower than me, but I won't go easy. My master taught me that fighting with full force is the greatest respect to others." Zhi Xin stated.

"Your master is right, so here I go." The fool nodded.

The surrounding cultivators were sighing, look at the cultivators from Kao Shan Sect and Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, how skilled they are, what good character they possess!

Then thinking back to An Tianhu from the Emperor Sect, tsk tsk tsk, can't compare at all, can he?

Even though they shouldn't generalize, many people already harbored disdain toward the Emperor Sect in their hearts. Being a Great Sect, the disciple's quality is embarrassingly low.

"Tang Rao, can the fool win?" Tu Hongxiu came over after Tang Rao returned, asking sweetly.

"Well, I'm not sure, the odds are fifty-fifty." Tang Rao pursed his lips.

"I'm not sure why, but I feel the fool will win."

"Maybe, after all, he is the son of Emperor Dong." Tang Rao whispered to Tu Hongxiu.

Tu Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes toward the fool changed.

Her admiration carried a bit of joy.

"Turns out he is..." Tu Hongxiu muttered, "Where's the other one?"

"Look, the one howling over there, just call him Madman." Tang Rao pointed at the Madman.

At this moment, Madman was worked up and excited. Madman loved battle, even just watching the fool fighting was exhilarating for him, face flushed, eager to just join in.

"Uh...strength is so-so, and he seems a bit of a nutcase too." Tu Hongxiu commented.

"Well, he hasn't remembered the past yet. To protect them, Emperor Dong placed a restriction in their bodies. After reaching the Immortal Monarch Realm, this restriction will be lifted. The fool was like this before too, knowing nothing which is why he's called fool." Tang Rao explained.

"I see, this indeed can keep them safe." Tu Hongxiu nodded, Emperor Dong truly went through a lot to secure his sons.

Without it, perhaps the fool and Madman might have long been exposed, and killed by the Holy Emperor Sect.

"Tang Rao, the Holy Emperor Sect, I must destroy them!" Tu Hongxiu suddenly whispered to Tang Rao, her eyes extremely serious.

"Alright, it's foolish not to avenge a grudge, I support you. When the time comes, I'll do whatever it takes. Today you give me some sweetness, someday I'll definitely return to you a jar of honey." Tang Rao nodded.

"Then let me give you a bit more sweetness!" Saying so, Tu Hongxiu began to snuggle up to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "..."

You ladies, seriously, not a word out before you go off the rails...
