CapĂtulo 2343: Chapter 15: Lici Shows Her Might! A Broader Path Ahead_3
As they spoke, Saint Qingyuan also brought Dumplings and Lan Wanyi down to the Gambling Stone stall.
Seeing Cai Youdao, his face didnât look too good either: âWho gave you permission to set up a Gambling Stone stall in Gui Ling Market?â
âI, this old man, actually paid the stall fee legitimately.â Cai Youdao said as he took out the receipt from the organizers, looking aggrieved, âYour Highness Saint, you told me not to set up near the Sea of Clouds Heavenly Abode last time, I followed your command. Could it be that you and Saintess Water Moon want to team up to completely drive me away?â
âYou old guy, donât think that just because youâre at the True Immortal Realm, this Saintess doesnât dare to beat you up.â Saintess Water Moon was quite angry, âTo chase you down thoroughly, this Saintess doesnât need to team up with anyone else. Come, let this Saintess teach you a lesson, you rascal old rogue.â
âThank you, Saintess, for your great kindness.â Cai Youdao laid down on the ground with a grin, âYour Highness Saintess, go ahead. Hit me however you like. If I, Old Cai, get beaten to death by the Saintess, itâll just be the end of it. If I donât die, Iâll lie at the entrance of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode and ensure my food and drink are secured for the rest of my life.â
Seeing his shameless behavior, Saintess Water Moon was so angry her teeth were itching. She raised her fist, then lowered it, and raised it again, ultimately unable to strike. She couldnât help but grumble, âThis old thing is even more annoying than Qingyuan.â
Saint Qingyuan glanced at her speechlessly.
How is my Qingyuan not better than your Water Moon?
âIf Your Highness Saintess doesnât want to fight, why not support Old Caiâs business?â Cai Youdao glanced at her a few times, seeing she had indeed given up on fighting, immediately got up and sat down, flattering, âThis time, the raw Spirit Stone ore, all of it was sourced from the Primordial Taoist Palaceâs Heavenly Spirit Mine Field, guaranteed quality, definitely substantial. Look at this piece, excellent appearance, might just yield a big chunk of Immortal Spirit Stone.â
âReally?â Saintess Water Moon was instantly tempted, âAre these really materials from the Heavenly Spirit Mine Field?â
âTrue, more true than Immortal Spirit Stones.â Cai Youdao patted his chest, even showing the purchase certificate, âSaintess, look at the stamp from the Heavenly Spirit Mine Field. Even if you gave me the world, I wouldnât dare fake a stamp from the Primordial Taoist Palace, right? Ah, todayâs auspicious light lingers, heralding great fortune.â
âThen letâs try my luck.â Saintess Water Moon wandered around once more, pointing at a piece of raw Spirit Stone ore, âLetâs open this one.â
âSaintess, excellent choice, this is top-grade raw ore, with a high chance of yielding Immortal Spirit Stone, priced at a modest eight top-quality Spirit Stones.â Cai Youdao spread his hands, appearing unwilling to release without assurance.
âHere! Open it for me~â
Saintess Water Moon directly threw over a small bag of top-quality Spirit Stones.
Cai Youdao pointed with his finger, a golden Immortal Artifact-grade golden jade scissors flashed by, cutting the raw Spirit Stone like tofu, swiftly splitting it in two, revealing a big chunk of shimmering Spirit Stone inside.
This Spirit Stone was sizable, but the quality was only at the top-grade Spirit Stone level, able to be polished into about seventy or eighty pieces. Yet, Saintess Water Moon spent eight top-quality Spirit Stones on this raw ore, and a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones could only exchange for one top-quality Spirit Stone. Calculating seriously, Saintess Water Moon lost more than seven top-quality Spirit Stones.
âYour Highness Saintess, you must accept your loss.â Seeing that Saintess Water Moon was about to erupt again, Cai Youdao hurriedly consoled, âImmortal Spirit Stones are so precious, they canât just be gambled out easily. Maybe itâs just because the time isnât right yet~â
âAgain!â
Frowning, Saintess Water Moon threw out a bag of Spirit Stones again, picking the next piece of raw Spirit Stone ore.
After several rounds, Saintess Water Moon only profited once, losing on the rest, totaling a loss of more than one Immortal Spirit Stone.
However, with so many Spirit Stones thrown in, Saintess Water Moon was already in deep, picking the next piece if one didnât work, unable to stop: âThis Saintess doesnât believe, this time it wonât yield an Immortal Spirit Stone.â
Wang Licui on the side was stunned.
Didnât Sister Water Moon say she was going to eat good food and drink good drinks? How did she end up gambling?
âLici~â Saint Qingyuan pulled Liciâs sleeve and stepped back a bit, moving further from Saintess Water Moon, speaking earnestly, âNow you understand why I didnât want you to make friends with Saintess Water Moon, right?â
âYou donât know, sheâs greedy, stingy, likes to gamble and often drinks⊠her temperâs explosive, starts fights at the drop of a hat!â Saint Qingyuan said with a complex expression, âIn my life, this is the first time Iâve seen a Saintess like this, poor Saint Water Moon Supreme Senior.â
Si Wuchou, also nearby, whispered gossip, âI heard Saint Water Moon Supreme has already closed off in anger several times, tsk tsk, if not for Water Moon Heavenly Abode relying on her to carry on, sheâd probably have been beaten to death by now.â
âYou two, donât speak ill of Sister Saintess.â Wang Licui couldnât stand it, puffing up with anger, âI can feel it, Sister Saintess genuinely wants to be my friend. Moreover, she mustnât have been like this originally, otherwise the Sacred Image of Water Moon wouldnât have been passed to her, there must be some hidden reason.â
âMaybe, but Junior Sister Lici, donâtâŠâ
Before Saint Qingyuan could finish, Wang Licui had already stepped forward and took Saintess Water Moonâs arm, persuading, âSister Water Moon, my Fourth Uncle always said, ânine out of ten gambles are cheats,â letâs stop gambling.â
