His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 465: Gamble (One)

What Nong Nong and Cheng Zhuo said allowed the people present to understand what kind of activity this gambling meet would be. Some people were very interested, while others weren’t.

Mu’rong Jiao took out five hundred spiritual jade and tossed them to the plant, “I’ll play too.”

The sea beast she bet on was exactly the opposite of Cheng Zhuo’s.

Seeing this, other pupils also took out money to bet, but only very few.

Huo Li Ruo bet on the same sea beast as Mu’rong Jiao and turned his head to ask Yu Qing Qian and the other two: “Don’t you want to play? The first round starts with bloodshed, and there’ll be no similar violence and fighting afterwards from the second round.”

Yu Qing Qian waved her hand dismissively, “I’m not very interested in the bet on sea beasts fighting.”

For people with personalities like Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran, they were even less interested.

Huo Li Ruo didn’t force it either, and looked down with his arms folded.

After the betting time was over, the spiritual plant in the private room disappeared.

A larger cage rose in the centre of the hall, surrounded by energy, which meant that the fight between the two sea beasts wouldn’t be felt outside.

The sea beasts in the two cages got into the huge cage themselves, and there was a cold and bloodthirsty intention between them.

Soon, one of them took the lead in striking out, and the two sea beasts fought each other, each move fierce enough to kill.

The blue-clothed pupil from the Holy Academy furrowed their brows and said: “Doesn’t this kind of gambling fight force the losing sea beast to die?”

“These two sea beasts are natural enemies. Once they meet in the sea outside, they’ll fight to the death. Right now, it can’t be said that they’re forcing anyone to die.”

Cheng Zhuo said indifferently: “The first round of the gambling meet starts with bloodshed, which is a deliberate reminder to cultivators of our generation that the road of cultivation is cruel. We must always be vigilant and never become trapped beasts in cages.”

The blue-clothed pupil sighed. The road of cultivation was cruel to begin with. Even humans were like this, let alone beasts.

Yu Qing Qian’s reaction was very calm. She had many such things of the survival of the fittest during the apocalypse.

Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran were rather indifferent, and neither of them paid much attention to this round of gambling.

Soon, the abdomen of one of the sea beasts was torn open by the other, and the first round of gambling ended.

“Haha, Junior Sister Mu’rong, you guys are really lucky.” The sea beast that Cheng Zhuo bet on was torn open, but he didn’t care about losing. Instead, he smiled, congratulating Mu’rong Jiao and the others.

Mu’rong Jiao smiled faintly, “Just lucky today.”

Soon, the spiritual plant appeared again, and a large number of spiritual jade appeared in front of the people who had just bet and won.

“Betting five hundred spiritual jades and winning three thousand. It seems that there are many people watching in the first round.” Cheng Zhuo said after scanning the number of spiritual jade.

Mu’rong Jiao said: “Most people don’t like the first round of gambling. I believe more people will begin to bet from now on.”

Hearing what the two said, the pupils who weren’t very interested at first also became curious. The most important thing was that five hundred could win three thousand. Such a bet was very tempting.

Soon, the cages and sea beasts in the hall were taken down, and there wasn’t even a trace of blood on the floor at all.

Nong Nong came on stage again and said with a smile: “A bloody start is the rule, I hope everyone doesn’t mind. This is also a reminder to everyone that your eyes may become red with ferocity during the next bets. Hehe, of course, this refers to the financial aspect.

“Let’s begin the second round of betting now.”

Two potted plants appeared in the hall right now, and Nong Nong said with a smile: “These are two seedlings of the same species. We will put the same amount of Nourishing Soil to promote growth. The bet is which of these two plants will bloom and bear fruit first.”

Nourishing Soil could make spiritual plants grow, and it could also directly stimulate the growth of plants.

This kind of bet was much milder than before, and it also aroused the interest of many Spiritual Plant Masters.

Seeing the identical seedlings, many were in a dilemma. Who could tell which plant would bloom and bear fruit first?

Yu Qing Qian observed the two plants carefully, then tossed a thousand spiritual jade to bet on her winning plant.
