Actually, it wasn't that Lin Zhen didn't want to come, but that he didn't have enough money!
According to the rules of the arena, one person was not allowed to challenge repeatedly. There was a time limit. Therefore, when Liang Chen saw that Lin Zhen's prize pool was 32 billion, he was tempted.
32 billion was not a small amount. Even though he was the little prince of the Southern Liang Empire, he didn't have that much money.
He had won some previously, but he had bought a lot of things. Money came and went quickly, so he was tight on cash.
Without money, he naturally couldn't win all 32 billion, but he wasn't willing to win too little. Seeing that Lin Zhen was quite capable, most people wouldn't be able to win any money from him. Therefore, during this period of time, he had been raising money everywhere, preparing to do something big.
Liang Chen had a lot of friends, such as this little prince and that little princess. They all followed his lead.
Firstly, Liang Chen was the strongest. He was a Level 9 Nebula with a star power of 1.03 million. He was the best in the Southern Liang Empire.
Secondly, Liang Chen was the only little prince of the Southern Liang Empire. Of course, he was very respected.
Although his father usually ignored him, he had a good mother, or rather, a good stepmother.
The number one beauty of the Southern Liang, Ning Qingxuan, had held the title of number one beauty for more than a thousand years. No one had ever shaken her position.
Not only was she beautiful, but Ning Qingxuan was also a martial arts prodigy. She was a hero among women. The Qingye Sect she was in nurtured her greatly, so her cultivation path was very smooth. She was already an immortal expert before she was 2,000 years old.
Therefore, not only was she the number one beauty of the Southern Liang Empire, but she was also the number one wonder of the Southern Liang Empire. She was a role model for all women. Even after she was secretly photographed bathing, the royal family didn't dare to break off the engagement with Ning Qingxuan.
Such a stepmother spoiled Liang Chen. This was one of the main reasons why Liang Chen could be so domineering.
Although he was domineering, he was still penniless when he needed to be penniless. Liang Chen had been looking for his friends all this time, but these prodigals were spending money like water. They did not have much in their hands. Liang Chen looked at the 32 billion that was hanging there, but he could not get his hands on it. This made Liang Chen very anxious.
In desperation, Liang Chen finally decided to look for his mother and see if she could give him some money.
*****
The Green Leaf Sect was the number one sect in Southern Liang. The Sect Leader and Elders were all Immortals. They had always had the habit of forming alliances with the royal family through marriage. As a core disciple of the sect, Ning Qingxuan had shown outstanding talent since she was young. Thus, she was engaged to the Crown Prince Liang Ji-hwan, who was more than a thousand years older than her.
Now Ning Qingxuan was able to establish her own sect. Except for sometimes returning to the sect to take a look, most of the time, she lived in the Zither Sound Villa in Southern Liang City.
The Zither Sound Villa was a very large courtyard that covered an area of more than a hundred square kilometers. It was located in the bustling area of Southern Liang. It was a paradise in the bustling city.
Liang Chen staggered back and pushed open the door of the Zither Sound Villa. Immediately, a servant came over and prepared a red-crowned crane mount.
"Is my mother here?" Liang Chen's mother died early. After being with Ning Qingxuan for hundreds of years, he was used to calling her mother.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."
Although Ning Qingxuan was never married to the Crown Prince, the servant was used to calling her that.
"Is my mother in a good mood today?"
"She seems to be in a good mood. She's playing the zither in the backyard."
"Good. As long as she's in a good mood. At least she's easy to talk to."
Liang Chen casually threw a few crystal coins to the servant. One crystal coin was a million. He was such a spendthrift. Otherwise, he would not have so much money left.
He rode the red-crowned crane to the backyard. A hundred kilometers was covered in the blink of an eye.
Getting off the red-crowned crane, Liang Chen tiptoed to the door of the backyard. A string of melodious zither music came from inside. It was like the sound of flowing water from high mountains and pearls falling on a jade plate.
Patiently waiting for the zither music to end, Liang Chen was about to use the opportunity of applause to walk in and compliment his mother before talking about money. However, before he could clap, Ning Qingxuan's voice came from inside.
"Chen 'er, come in. Aren't you tired of holding your breath outside?"
Liang Chen looked embarrassed. He poked his head out from outside the door and ran in like a wisp of smoke.
"Mother, are you in a good mood today?"
"So what if I'm in a good mood? So what if I'm in a bad mood? Isn't it all the same? "
Ning Qingxuan stood up. Her lotus colored dress swayed in the wind. Looking at his mother's face that could make the world lose its color, Liang Chen was entranced.
No wonder his father was so infatuated with her. In fact, Liang Chen also had a serious Oedipus complex in his heart.
If he couldn't find a beauty like his mother in this lifetime, Liang Chen would rather not get married.
However, there was only one Ning Qingxuan in this world. How could it be easy to find a woman like her who was a phoenix among men in terms of looks, martial skills, and character?
He seemed to have heard that the Phoenix Clan had a Saintess whose looks were unparalleled. Her beauty was not inferior to his mother's. He didn't know if it was true or not, but Liang Chen most likely didn't believe it.
"Mother, I don't see any new flowers in your garden recently. Is it because you don't have much money? If so, your son still has more than a billion here. I can buy more flowers for you. "
Ning Qingxuan walked slowly among the flowers. Her fingers gently brushed across a few flower buds. Strangely enough, the flowers actually bloomed when her fingertips brushed past them.
This strange scene made everyone's eyes, including Liang Chen's, stare. Immortal warriors were indeed powerful, but Ning Qingxuan's ability was something that no one else could learn.
Standing in front of a tulip, Ning Qingxuan turned around and glanced at Liang Chen. "You will give me money? Mother is really touched by your words. However, don't show off your little Huahua mind. If you have something to say, just say it. "
"Hehe, my mother's eyes are as sharp as torches. Nothing can escape your eyes."
Ning Qingxuan walked back from the flowers and sat on a beauty's chair. She picked up a simple book and read it. At the same time, she said to Liang Chen, "If you want money, you can, but you have to have a valid reason. If you can convince me, you can take the money. If you can't, you should hurry up and cultivate."
Liang Chen's expression turned serious. He coughed and said, "It's like this. There's a madman in the dimensional universe who set up an arena for people to challenge. Furthermore, he doesn't take back the prize money. I've caused trouble for him a few times and won about a few billion or tens of billions."
Ning Qingxuan didn't say anything. She gently flipped the pages of the book. With her black hair and snow-white skin, she was as beautiful as a painting.
"Hmm … This time, that madman set up an arena again. I wanted to challenge him to earn some pocket money, but I didn't expect that madman's prize pool to have risen to 32 billion. I have the heart but not the ability. I have the ability but no capital to challenge him. I still don't have the money to buy flowers for mother."
"32 billion … Do you think your mother is a bank? I don't have that much money."
Ning Qingxuan gently shook her head and rejected Liang Chen's suggestion.
Liang Chen's face fell. "Alright then, I can only let that madman hoot in front of me."
"What's the name of that madman you're talking about?" Seeing Liang Chen's expression, Ning Qingxuan couldn't bear it and asked.
"His name is Lin Zhen! I've already defeated him several times. Mother, don't worry. As long as I go, I'll definitely get my hands on that 30 billion! "Hearing Ning Qingxuan's question, Liang Chen became energetic again.
Ning Qingxuan pondered for a moment. She felt that something was wrong.
30 billion was not a small amount no matter where it was. That Lin Zhen, a Nebula Stage martial artist, dared to just leave it there and not take it. It was clear that this person had absolute confidence.
But looking at Liang Chen's confident look, Ning Qingxuan also knew that with his strength, it would be difficult for him to meet an opponent in the Nebula Stage. Maybe this really was an opportunity.
Moreover, Ning Qingxuan felt that since Lin Zhen was very strong, he should have the pride of being strong.
"Are you sure that person isn't a liar?"
"Absolutely not! This person has already set up an arena in the Nebula Stage arena for several years. My friends have all challenged him. There were wins and losses. He is indeed very strong, just a little bit weaker than me. If it wasn't for me, no one would be able to challenge his arena. "
"Alright!"
Ning Qingxuan nodded. "I'll transfer the money to you now. But remember, after the challenge is over, you have to get back my capital. Also, put another 20 billion with me for safekeeping. Otherwise, you'll be spending money too quickly."
"Deal! I promise I won't let you down! " 12 billion was good. Liang Chen immediately agreed. After all, he could always ask for more if he ran out of money.
Ning Qingxuan transferred 32 billion to Liang Chen. Liang Chen immediately left in high spirits.
Watching Liang Chen leave, Ning Qingxuan's maid asked, "Miss, do you think that Lin Zhen is a liar?"
"Hard to say? According to Chen 'er's description, this Lin Zhen should be a strong person. As a strong person, he should have the strength of a strong person. He shouldn't be a liar. How can there be such a shameless person in this world? "
Ning Qingxuan continued to read as she spoke. However, the maid beside her disagreed. Miss thought too highly of people. Who knew how many greedy bastards there were in the outside world? Lin Zhen might be such a person.
*****
"Boss, are we going to the city today?"
"That's right. Let's prepare to leave now."
Lin Zhen looked at Lin Feng, who was packing his things and couldn't wait to go to the big city to broaden his horizons. He felt a little regretful.
Today was the last day of the three months that he had set up the arena. Back then, he had set up the arena so that he could only collect his capital every three months. If the royal family member who challenged him today did not come, then all his efforts would have been in vain.
"Time and fate! If it's not mine, I won't be able to get it! "
Lin Zhen followed Lin Feng out. In order to enter the city, this guy had specially changed into a new set of clothes and made himself look flashy. It was as if he was going to go on a blind date.
Outside the door, the snow-white unicorn and the gorgeous carriage were all bought by Lin Feng with his own money. According to him, he didn't want others to think that he was a country bumpkin. However, in Lin Zhen's eyes, this kind of behavior was like a poor man suddenly becoming rich.
The two of them checked out of the inn and got on the carriage. Just as they were about to leave, a notification came from the Dimensional Universe.
