Free Web NovelThe palace on the Dragon carriage was extremely high, overlooking the high platforms outside the Wu Gate, which were divided into different areas by the art of mustard seed holding Mount Sumeru.
On the Phoenix seat, Empress Chu Ge raised her wine cup, only to find that Jingtai Emperor had been looking in a certain direction, precisely where Li Mo was. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Her graceful face, of unparalleled beauty, smiled and asked:
"What is Your Majesty looking at?"
"Hahahaha..."
Jingtai Emperor sighed with emotion: "That is the little girl who retrieved the Celestial Human Divine Sword from Human City a few days ago."
As he spoke, his peripheral vision subtly retracted from Jiang Chulong.
"Is it because of her that Yu'er borrowed the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Seal from Your Majesty?"
Empress Chu Ge had the expression of someone who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and understood nothing.
Jingtai Emperor shook his head: "The one who used the God Sword was that young man beside her."
"Without Your Majesty's approval, how could Human City have appeared?"
Empress Chu Ge narrowed her eyes and asked again.
Not only would Human City not appear, but retrieving the God Sword was also just a word from Jingtai Emperor.
But he didn't. When Ying Bing summoned the God Sword, he manifested Human City and then watched as the sword fell into Li Mo's hands.
"Do not ask about matters of the imperial court."
Jingtai Emperor said, then looked at the eunuch beside him and spoke:
"Bring the golden beads."
"Yes."
The eunuch brought over an exquisite box, inside which were exactly one hundred small golden beads.
"Your Majesty, how about letting your concubine draw the lots?"
Empress Chu Ge suddenly took off her thimble, looking down.
At this moment, she did not look like an empress who commanded the world, but rather a young girl in love, acting coquettishly with her lover.
Jingtai Emperor's face was /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ expressionless, his voice low:
"If you didn't make such a disgusting display."
"...Your Majesty truly favors your concubine the most."
Empress Chu Ge seemed to have just heard words of love, and her tenderness grew even stronger.
Then, under Jingtai Emperor's increasingly disgusted gaze, she reached her hand into the box and grabbed a handful of golden beads.
"Empress Mother herself drew the lots, the list is out!"
As the words fell, lines of names appeared on the jiangshan sheji map, which hung high in the sky and enveloped the Inner City.
The eyes of the entire Dijin simultaneously converged, and the first line was prominently:
【Jiang Chulong vs. Jiang Yu Yang】
...Currently, Little Jiang Princess is quite conspicuous on the Qianlong Ranking, because she is the lowest in Realm among all Dragons of Hidden Potential, only at three orifices of Guan Shen to this day.
Under the canopies on the side of the nobles, there was a moment of silence.
"How did she really... come back?"
"And why did Father Emperor not have the Sky Patrol Guard arrest her, but instead allowed her to come to the Qianlong Assembly?"
"Father Emperor's intentions are not for us to fathom."
Jiang Yu suddenly spoke indifferently.
After speaking, he looked at Princess Yu Yang, saying nothing.
Princess Yu Yang was startled by those double pupils and quickly said:
"Crown Prince Brother, for the face of the royal family, for Mother Empress, I will definitely win."
Princess Yu Yang and Jiang Yu were born of the same mother, both by Empress Chu Ge.
"Elder Brother need not worry, I don't know how Yu Yang could lose."
The Fourth Prince's maternal clan was weak, and he always clung to the Crown Prince's leg:
"In terms of Realm, Yu Yang is four orifices higher."
"In terms of resources, Yu Yang has been favored by Father Emperor since childhood, using countless Heaven And Earth Treasure."
"In terms of swordsmanship, Yu Yang has followed famous masters since childhood. No matter how profound the Sect's foundation is, how can it compare to the palace? She probably learned some wild style somewhere."
Hmm, quite reasonable and well-founded!
The nobles also felt it was correct, that's just how it was.
Zhong Zhenyue was about to speak when a young lord beside him said:
"Little Marquis, you should worry about yourself first."
【Zhong Zhenyue vs. Zhao Jing】
...Jiang Chulong clutched the corner of her skirt with her small hand.
Being in Dijin and being in Happy Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant were completely different states of mind. There, she only needed to face Jiang Yu, and with Li Dage backing her, her courage grew a little.
Now... "Huh, Jiang Chulong and Princess Yu Yang are more than thirty places apart on the Qianlong Ranking, aren't they?"
"Comebacks aren't unheard of, but this gap is a bit too despairing..."
"The Fourth Prince's casino has opened, with odds of one to eight!"
"Is this calculated based on win rate?"
"I'll also place a bet, even small money is still money..."
Under other canopies, several spectators went together.
"Li Dage... Hmm?"
Little Jiang Princess listened to these voices and subconsciously looked back, but didn't see Li Mo.
"He said he'd be right back."
Ying Bing also stroked her head, her expression gentle.
In her previous life, Little Jiang joined Rain Listening Pavilion, and after becoming a Heavenly Killer, she severely wounded four Heavenly Killer-level assassins, rebelled against Rain Listening Pavilion, and built her own power. When they met again, Little Jiang was already ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, a name that struck fear into hearts... Who would have thought that she would now be a little girl who needed to wear sunglasses to hide the timidity in her eyes, timid and fond of picking up trash?
"What did Li Dage go to do?"
"He said he was going to make the Fourth Prince go bankrupt."
"??"
Little Jiang Princess understood. Li Dage had spent a lot, a lot of money, betting on her to win.
It should be enough money for her to pick up trash for a very long time... She suddenly gained confidence, waved her hand, and walked onto the arena with several other people who were going up in the first round.
The matches were conducted five by five.
Princess Yu Yang was already standing on the stage. At this moment, she was a head taller than Jiang Chulong, proud and confident.
She had intended to be overbearing, to make the other party hesitate.
But she found that the Little Jiang Princess who walked up was wearing sunglasses, expressionless, looking a little bit cool, and also a little bit awesome.
"You actually dare to come and fight me?"
"..."
Jiang Chulong turned her head to look below the stage. Li Dage had already returned, holding a promissory note, casually shaking it.
Just now, Li Mo had caused a commotion at the casino. Someone said:
"God Hammer Little Overlord just now... bet five hundred xuan crystals and two gold mountains on Jiang Chulong to win."
"Ah? What the hell... what unit of measurement is that? How much money is that?"
"This must be his entire fortune, right? Even selling a prefecture-level Sect wouldn't be enough to gather that!"
"If she really wins, the Fourth Prince might not even have enough to mortgage the casino to Li Mo."
"Holy cow, does Jiang Chulong have some secret weapon?"
The people in the arena were initially a little disbelieving, but now they were genuinely starting to doubt.
Where did Li Mo get the confidence to bet his entire fortune?
In fact, Li Mo did it to give Little Jiang confidence.
He looked at Princess Yu Yang, holding Ice Cube's hand, a mysterious curve on his lips, and let out a low laugh:
"Hehehe..."
"!"
Princess Yu Yang's body trembled, and she suddenly felt uncertain.
What on earth was he up to?
Why did he think I would definitely lose?!
If it were just Li Mo, it would be fine.
But Ying Bing was also standing beside him, her clear and cold jade face devoid of expression. Han Xianzi simply had an alluring aura of having everything under control.
But no one would know that while Han Xianzi seemed calm and collected, she also had no idea what was going on.
It was just the tacit understanding of the best actress, allowing her to cooperate with Little Li.
"Li Mo, why are we doing this?" Ying Bing asked softly.
Li Mo's expression remained unchanged: "If we can't beat her to death, we'll scare her to death first."
The value of the Fighting King Profound Meaning was still rising!
Thus, God Hammer Little Overlord and Han Xianzi were expressionless and very cool.
On stage, Little Jiang Princess wore sunglasses, filled with a mysterious confidence, and was also very cool.
