His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 473: Play Bigger

The third round was similar to the second round, but plants were replaced with animals.

There were two large tables in the centre of the hall, each with a beast egg—the colour, size, and scent were exactly the same.

Nong Nong pointed at the two eggs on the table and said: “These are two grey eagle eggs. They belong to the same nest, and they’re about to hatch. We will use the same method to nourish them to speed up the hatching process.”

“Now the bet is on which egg will hatch first.”

The Underground Palace was always so unique in terms of treasure snatching events and gambling meets, but it indeed made it difficult for the people present.

Two eggs born in the same nest had basically the same characteristics. Who knew which one would hatch first? It could only be guessed with luck.

In the private room, Leng Ling Shuang and Yu Qing Qian looked at the two eggs carefully at the same time.

After a while, Leng Ling Shuang took out a thousand spiritual jade and bet on the second¹ egg without waiting for Yu Qing Qian to speak.

Seeing her move so quickly and with confidence, the pupils of the Imperial Academy couldn’t help but look at Yu Qing Qian.

Yu Qing Qian didn’t place a bet immediately, but looked at the two eggs carefully again, and tried to feel the little life inside.

She had done this more than once and was very familiar with it. After all, the beast egg in the sachet would be nurtured every day, and she could feel and communicate with encouragement.

Yu Qing Qian directly took out ten thousand spiritual jade and tossed them to the spiritual plant in the private room, “I choose that the first egg will break the shell first.”

Then she looked at Leng Ling Shuang with a half-smile, “If we want to play, then play big. One thousand spiritual jade is boring.”

Leng Ling Shuang had a mouthful of blood stuck in her chest. Yu Qing Qian was truly bullying her too much.

She directly took out fifty thousand spiritual jade and tossed them to the spiritual plant, “Since that’s the case, why not play even bigger.”

“Sure!” Yu Qing Qian also made up for the remaining spiritual jades.

Everyone present looked at each other in surprise—these two were so generous!

Fifty thousand spiritual jade wasn’t a small amount. They needed to consider it carefully, whether they should follow or not.

Feng Chen didn’t hesitate at all and took out fifty thousand spiritual jade and tossed them out, “I’ll follow.”

His heart softened into a pool of water. His Qian Qian was so cute when she bullied others.

Chi Mo Ran and Huo Li Ruo also made the same move, tossing out fifty thousand spiritual jade without caring.

“Haha, since Junior Sister Yu is so interested, I’ll play too.” Cheng Zhuo also took out fifty thousand spiritual jades.

The pupils who could come here from the Holy Academy were undoubtedly the peerless geniuses in the Academy. Fifty thousand spiritual jade may be a considerable amount, but it could still be taken out if they gathered it.

Third Sword didn’t hesitate as a deep smile rose on his face, “I’ve made up my mind to follow Junior Sister.”

The pupils of the Holy Academy had always been rather united, and they knew the devilish nature of the Great Demon King, so they all took out fifty thousand spiritual jades each to bet, following Yu Qing Qian.

They believed that the Great Demon King would never let them lose money and be slapped in the face by someone like Leng Ling Shuang.

Seeing that the pupils of the Holy Academy supported her without hesitation, Yu Qing Qian suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of belonging.

The pupils of the Imperial Academy were rather awkward. This was fifty thousand spiritual jade, and they were a little hesitant.

They wanted to follow Yu Qing Qian to place a bet, but then felt it was inappropriate, so they all pretended to be uninterested. Even Mu’rong Jiao was indifferent.

In fact, it wasn’t that the pupils of the Imperial Academy didn’t help, but first, they didn’t trust Leng Ling Shuang that much, and second, they didn’t like this Junior Sister. After all, this was a person who stepped on a fellow pupil to get to the top, which they did mind.

Leng Ling Shuang’s expression turned greener, as if there was a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t spit it out. These pupils of the same Academy didn’t give her face at all.

An indescribable chill made her shiver—Leng Ling Shuang pursed her lips to calm herself down.

¹the author wrote ‘first egg’, but based on the following conversations, the author definitely made a mistake. It should be the ‘second egg’ that LLS bet on.
