The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Tang Rao, open another betting pool for me, I'm about to go on stage." Xiao Yun appeared excited.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes. He had already set up a betting pool for Xiao Yun's last match. Since the cultivators present already knew Xiao Yun's strength, not many bet on her losing. Her opponent was a level three Immortal Monarch, so the bets were pretty balanced.

Therefore, Tang Rao didn't make much Immortal Stone, just millions...

Kidding, with one betting pool, he could easily make several billion or even tens of billions. Opening a pool for Xiao Yun was really a thankless task.

"Xiao Yun, I think we shouldn't rush this," Tang Rao said, trying to brush off Xiao Yun.

"Tang Rao, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense with me. Open the betting pool for me right now. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking—you're just afraid you won't make money! Look at you. I'll tell you, this time, I guarantee you'll make money, and big money," Xiao Yun said with a snort.

Tang Rao glanced sideways at Xiao Yun; truth be told, he didn't really trust Xiao Yun's assurance.

"Sect Master, set up a betting pool for Xiao Yun," Geng Bucuo suddenly chimed in from the side.

Tang Rao looked at Geng Bucuo in surprise.

"In the last match, Xiao Yun faced a level three Immortal Monarch. She was showing weakness, dragging the fight on for quite a while, got hit a few times herself, and finally won with great difficulty," Geng Bucuo explained.

Tang Rao: "..."

He understood Geng Bucuo's point. Xiao Yun had such a tough time against a level three Immortal Monarch, so she certainly wouldn't be favored this time.

After all, Xiao Yun's opponent is a level four Immortal Monarch from a super great sect.

Having seen Xiao Yun's last match, the cultivators present would undoubtedly place their bets on that level four Immortal Monarch.

"Xiao Yun, you're really devious," Tang Rao gave Xiao Yun a look and shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know what Xiao Yun was thinking; even if he opened the pool, the money was for him and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple to earn, not her.

Moreover, Xiao Yun was never interested in Immortal Stones.

Why bother going through all this? Is conning others your idea of fun?

Utterly insane.

"This isn't deviousness; it's cleverness. By setting up the pool like this, you can make big money. When you earn money, it's thanks to me, so you have to give me some rewards. I don't want much, just five boxes of Lindt." Xiao Yun extended her hand, looking as if it was her due.

Tang Rao was dumbfounded by Xiao Yun. This girl would do anything for a few boxes of chocolate.

The poor cultivators were probably going to be scammed badly by Xiao Yun this time.

"Next match, Kao Shan Sect's Xiao Yun against Northwest War King Peak's Wu Tu Shan," announced a monk from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple loudly on the stage.

"Tang Rao, I'm on stage now, arrange it for me immediately!" Xiao Yun shouted at Tang Rao.

"Alright, alright, I'll arrange it immediately." Tang Rao shrugged. Xiao Yun had insisted so much; if he didn't set up the betting pool, she would probably go crazy on him later.

"That's more like it,"

As Xiao Yun headed to the stage, Tang Rao conveyed to the nearby Unwise to set up the betting pool for Xiao Yun and Wu Tu Shan. Xiao Yun was a level three Immortal Monarch, Wu Tu Shan was a level four, and from the Northwest War King Peak.

The Northwest War King Peak was quite famous, with remarkably skilled fighters.

Although the Northwest War King Peak only had one Immortal Emperor guarding it, it didn't affect its status among the super sects. It couldn't be helped; their combat strength was explosive.

Even the arrogant Holy Emperor Sect didn't dare provoke the Northwest War King Peak.

The War King Peak, as a force, wouldn't usually brag, but when another sect bullied them, the people from Northwest War King Peak would instantly turn into lunatics, never stopping short of a life-and-death struggle.

Of course, the most famous incident of Northwest War King Peak was the Northern Peak Emperor Tu event.

Back then, in the Northwest War King Peak's Northern Peak, the Wolf Emperor Mo Kai from Northwest War King Peak battled against Crimson Sect's Chu Tianhong, who was also at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The final result shocked the outside cultivators; Chu Tianhong was slain.

Yes, slain.

It's known that dealing with an Immortal Emperor is extremely difficult; wars between Immortal Emperors are often tug-of-war and wars of attrition, dragging on indefinitely.

For one Immortal Emperor to defeat another is exceedingly difficult.

Let alone slaying.

At least, before Mo Kai killed Chu Tianhong, it had been a long, long time since an Immortal Emperor had fallen in the Land of Immortals.

"Dude, who are you betting on?"

"No-brainer, Wu Tu Shan, of course."

"I'm betting on Wu Tu Shan too; he's a genius from Northwest War King Peak, with amazing combat power."

"Xiao Yun may be amazing, reaching level three Immortal Monarch at such a young age, but honestly, I don't have much confidence in her."

"Indeed, she had a tough time against a level three Immortal Monarch, and now against Wu Tu Shan, her chances are very slim."

"Alright, then bet on Wu Tu Shan for the win."

Many people began placing their bets, just as Tang Rao predicted; the vast majority bet on Xiao Yun losing, with Wu Tu Shan winning.

The final result was that a total of four billion Immortal Stones were bet on Xiao Yun, and a total of thirty-two billion Immortal Stones were bet on Wu Tu Shan, about eight times that of Xiao Yun.

Tang Rao set the odds: Xiao Yun 2.5, Wu Tu Shan 1.1. This way, if Xiao Yun won, Tang Rao would pay ten billion Immortal Stones and earn twenty-six billion Immortal Stones—a massive deal.

If Wu Tu Shan won, Tang Rao would pay 35.2 billion Immortal Stones and only earn eight million Immortal Stones.

However, Xiao Yun seemed very confident about this match. Hopefully, she could win.

After all, it involved twenty-six billion Immortal Stones; just thinking about it was exciting.

Although he had scammed a total of one thousand billion Immortal Stones from Tie Nutao, who would ever think they had too much money?

Besides, for Kao Shan Sect to develop, it needed more Immortal Stones than anything. Tang Rao had to earn as many Immortal Stones as he could, to fuel Kao Shan Sect's rapid development.

"Bucuo, do you think Xiao Yun has a good chance of winning?" Tang Rao asked Geng Bucuo. Bucuo had been around the whole time and should have seen Wu Tu Shan's battles, so he should have a better understanding of Wu Tu Shan's strength.

"Wu Tu Shan's combat strength is strong; Xiao Yun has a chance to win. However, Xiao Yun has seen Wu Tu Shan's battles and knows his strength. Since she's so confident, she should have some assurance," Geng Bucuo replied.

"Alright," Tang Rao shrugged. If Xiao Yun could win, that would be great.

Even if Xiao Yun lost, it didn't matter much, as he could still earn eight million anyway.

...

Wu Tu Shan was incredibly tall, looked like he was two meters, with a beard and bull-like eyes. Just looking at him was intimidating.

He held a Wolf Fang Club in his hand, covered in spikes, gleaming coldly.

If someone got hit by that, it would definitely leave them in tatters.
