Chapter 92 May you be locked in for life
Chapter 92 May you be locked in for life
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Gu, and the two princesses..."
The Dust Fate Pavilion Stone Gambling Shop is an industry of the Dust Fate Holy Land, with a powerful expert at the Void Dao Realm in charge.
Upon hearing that Gu Qing was coming, He Guanghui disregarded everything else and immediately came over to greet her, his face beaming with smiles and his manner obsequious.
Gu Qing hummed in agreement, his eyes gleaming as he scanned the surrounding raw stones.
"I want this piece, and that piece..."
Gu Qing picked out more than a dozen raw stones, just like buying vegetables. The lowest value stone cost more than a billion high-grade spirit stones, while the highest cost several billion.
This caused He Guanghui, who had originally intended to offer Gu Qing a discount or a free meal, to freeze his smile for a moment. After a quick mental calculation, he finally decided against offering the discount.
After all, even a small discount would result in a loss of billions, a decision he simply couldn't make.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, the total is 32 billion high-grade spirit stones." He Guanghui's face was excited, and he had already begun to calculate in his mind how many spirit stones he would get as a share after completing this deal.
That's enough for him to comfortably cultivate for decades.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Gu Qing was about to give the spirit stones, a loud shout rang out.
Su Chen was extremely anxious.
Because he knew that half of the rough stones Gu Qing had selected were actually large-volume pieces.
The most precious items are the divine marrow, a piece of broken divine iron, and a 100,000-year-old Earth Core Fruit.
These are treasures that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.
Moreover, the essence is related to his transformation of physique, and it must not be lost.
"presumptuous."
He Guanghui's eyes turned cold. How dare this worthless piece of trash cause trouble for him?
Even if Su Chen is Su Qingtian's only son, killing him is fine.
He Guanghui thought this and did this, his eyes cold and sharp, shooting out two fierce sword lights.
"boom!"
Su Yi intervened and resolved the situation, but his heart sank to the bottom.
Su Chen usually just fools around with those spoiled brats, but offending Gu Qing is a crime punishable by death.
"Young Master, he is a true disciple of the Starry Sky Temple, with the cultivation of a King Realm expert. We can't afford to offend him," he urgently transmitted his voice.
"Just a mere King Realm expert..." Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes flashed with disdain, and he shrugged indifferently.
He had broken through to the Divine Fire Realm in all nine of his lifetimes, so he didn't take Gu Qing and the Starry Sky Temple seriously at all.
After all, he had killed countless King-level beings, as well as Saint-level and Divine Fire-level beings.
Given enough time, Gu Qinglian will have no right to look up to him.
Thinking this, Su Chen looked at Gu Qing, then at Liu Ruyan, and felt a dull pain in his heart.
The two stood very close, and it was obvious at a glance that their relationship was special.
The two are very likely a couple.
Liu Ruyan, that scumbag woman, kept Gu Qing's existence a secret for the past nine lifetimes.
If he hadn't been beaten by his father today, he probably would never have known of Gu Qing's existence.
Liu Ruyan had no idea how many things she was hiding from him.
Fortunately, all of this can be started over.
May this scumbag and his slut be locked in a lifelong bond, and never come back to torment him.
In this life, he only wants Liu Ruyi.
"A mere King Realm expert?" Gu Qing laughed.
It seems Su Chen hasn't come to terms with reality yet.
They thought they were in the Divine Fire Realm of the Cycle of Reincarnation.
Liu Ruyan also stared at Su Chen in astonishment.
I never imagined that my only childhood playmate would suffer from mental illness.
Did Su Chen even know that Su Qingtian was almost blown up by Gu Qing's finger?
The others were also stunned by Su Chen's words.
A piece of trash dares to look down on the King Realm? I've never seen anything like it in my life.
"Ruyi, it's been a long time."
Su Chen bypassed the crowd and looked at Liu Ruyi with excitement.
Finally, we met the female villain.
In this life, he will never betray Liu Ruyi's true feelings for him again.
Liu Ruyi: "..."
Her smile vanished instantly, her clear, bright eyes turning indifferent as she coldly stared at Su Chen.
[Warning: The target's favorability towards the host is -70. Liu Ruyi strongly desires to kill you.] The system's cold voice exploded in Su Chen's mind.
"..."
"Damn system, are you mistaken? How could Ruyi's affection for me be negative?"
Su Chen was shocked and questioned the system.
He didn't believe that simply greeting Liu Ruyi would turn a zero into a negative number.
It should be noted that throughout his nine reincarnations, Liu Ruyi had always tried to recruit him, willing to agree to any conditions he set.
Even after he was executed by Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyi was the first to appear and collect his body.
She loved him deeply and obsessively.
Su Chen would rather suspect the system than suspect that Liu Ruyi wanted to kill him.
[Idiot, look at Liu Ruyi's initial level of affection for you. Zero, zero, understand?]
The system's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Chen, chilling him to the bone.
Damn it, he actually forgot that Liu Ruyi isn't familiar with him anymore.
He was even reprimanded by Liu Ruyan for being close to her when he was a child.
Thinking of this, Su Chen panicked.
He knew exactly who Liu Ruyi was—ruthless, vicious, and insane.
Once Liu Ruyi has her eye on you, you can basically start preparing for the banquet.
Su Chen's mind raced, and he sincerely apologized. "Princess Ruyi, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous just now."
Calling Liu Ruyi by her given name is also a serious offense.
In the Great Qing Empire, offending the emperor and empress might not be a big deal.
If the emperor and empress die, the royal family can simply support someone else to take the throne.
But offending Liu Ruyi would definitely mean certain death.
After all, everyone knows that she is the reincarnation of a goddess, with a bright future, and is the apple of the royal family's eye.
Her power and prestige were unmatched by the emperor.
"This will never happen again!"
Liu Ruyi had already sentenced Su Chen in her heart, but she couldn't do anything in front of everyone.
They'll have Su Chen kidnapped and the Su family wiped out completely.
[Warning: Liu Ruyi's negative favorability rating is 72. Host, you'd better watch your step.]
Su Chen's lips twitched, his mind racing with frustration.
Liu Ruyi's attitude was completely different from what he had imagined.
In his mind, Liu Ruyi should be overjoyed to see him.
But now is not the time to think about that.
Su Chen looked at Gu Qing and smiled calmly.
"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Gu possesses unparalleled talent. I am but a humble one. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu would dare to make a bet with me?"
It's over... Su Yixin felt utterly hopeless and helplessly sent a message to Su Qingtian.
He has absolutely no say in this matter.
"can."
Gu Qing nodded.
"So easy to talk to..." Su Chen looked at Gu Qing in surprise.
Gu Qing was different from all the other prodigies he had ever met; he seemed to lack the arrogance of those prodigies.
"Now we will select three rough stones again, and whoever produces the most valuable rough stone will win."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to probe.
"Okay." Gu Qing nodded.
"Okay, feel free."
Su Chen was overjoyed. He glanced at the raw stones that Gu Qing had bought and immediately came up with a plan.
"Such a monotonous bet is a bit lacking. How about we make a wager: whoever wins will help the other buy ten rough stones? What do you think?"
Gu Qing had cheated on him for nine lifetimes; it was fine if he hadn't known before.
Now that he knows, he will never let those two get away with it.
Besides, he's so poor now that he only has a few hundred low-grade spirit stones left. If he doesn't rip off Gu Qing, he simply can't afford it.
"Okay." Gu Qing nodded.
Su Chen's excitement was palpable, and he looked at Gu Qing as if she were a great traitor.
Ten raw stones would cost hundreds of billions of spirit stones to purchase.
He could obtain divine essence and divine iron, as well as eight rare treasures, for free without having to pay anything.
Moreover, as long as he displays his talent for gambling on stones, Liu Ruyi will definitely not want to kill him again, but will recruit him as she did in her previous life.
It also caused Gu Qing to bleed heavily once more, which was killing three birds with one stone.
Su Chen became more and more excited as he thought about it, and pretended to select from the rough stones that Gu Qing had chosen.
"Okay, I'll take these three pieces."
Su Chen's lips curled into a smug smile, his smugness overflowing, as he looked at Gu Qing with a provocative gaze.
Hmm? Something's off about the atmosphere.
Su Chen glanced at everyone. Why were they all looking at him like he was a dead man?
