The woman in front of him was no stranger to Zhou Wen. She was An Tianzuo's sister, An Jing. From a certain perspective, she could be considered his sister.
Of course, neither An Jing nor Zhou Wen admitted to this relationship.
"What's the meaning of this?" Zhou Wen looked at the flower and asked coldly.
"Don't you want Chess Mountain's core domain? Chess Mountain's core domain is on her. She's the living core of the domain, "The Thearch said teasingly.
"What do you mean by 'on her'?" Zhou Wen's expression darkened.
"She was nurtured by me. The domain core that can match her is naturally Chess Mountain's domain core. Now, she has already used Chess Mountain's domain core to advance to the Calamity grade. What do you think I mean?" The Thearch said with a smile.
"You didn't hand the domain core to me. Is this a violation of the contract?" Zhou Wen said coldly.
"Why would I go against the contract? If you need me to give it to you personally, I can remove the domain core from her body and give it to you right now." The Thearch smiled even more happily. "However, without the domain core, it's naturally impossible for her to be at the Calamity Grade again. Furthermore, it's impossible for her to advance to the Calamity Grade in the future. Apart from this domain core, there's no second domain core in this world that matches her."
"Do you think this will make me regret it?" Zhou Wen said expressionlessly.
"Whether or not you regret it now has nothing to do with the contract. I just want you to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You're not willing to pay the price, yet you want to obtain such a precious item. How can there be such a good thing in this world? " The Thearch said with a smile, "Young man, you have to remember that this world doesn't revolve around you. You can't do whatever you want. If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price. Those benefits that don't require you to pay the price may cause you to lose more. "
"How are you going to choose now? Do you want me to personally take out the domain core for you? "The Thearch smiled happily.
How could Zhou Wen not know what The Thearch had said? Since he wanted to ask a tiger for its skin, he was already prepared to pay the price. However, he never expected such a situation.
But even so, Zhou Wen didn't regret coming here or making a bet with The Thearch.
His gaze turned to the motionless An Jing, who was floating in midair. In fact, before today, Zhou Wen hadn't carefully observed her because he had never paid attention to her.
An Jing looked at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression. From his conversation with The Thearch, she already understood what was going on.
An Jing originally believed that she had obtained a huge opportunity, but she never expected that this would happen. She couldn't help but feel disheartened.
She worked hard to prove that she wasn't inferior to Zhou Wen, but the gap between them only widened.
After meeting The Thearch, she thought that she finally had a chance to catch up to or even surpass Zhou Wen. She never expected that she was only a chip in The Thearch's game with Zhou Wen.
Perhaps it couldn't even be considered a bargaining chip. This was because a bargaining chip had a chance of winning the bet, but she had no chance at all. As long as Zhou Wen said the word, the achievements she had painstakingly cultivated to this day would be stripped away.
An Jing had a deep understanding of what The Thearch had just said.
"That's something that doesn't belong to me to begin with. Take it away," An Jing suddenly said to Zhou Wen.
She didn't need Zhou Wen's pity, nor did she need him to give in to her. She would rather start over. Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if she succeeded. If she accepted Zhou Wen's pity, she wouldn't have the right to say that she could surpass him.
"Hehe, did you hear that? She's willing to sacrifice herself for you. What a good sister. How are you going to choose? Do you want me to take out her domain core and give it to you now? "The Thearch's voice sounded indescribable disgust in Zhou Wen's ears.
"Of course I want the domain core," Zhou Wen said calmly. "However, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Oh, you want to bet with me?" The flower's flower bud turned to Zhou Wen as though it was sizing him up with interest.
"Yes, do you dare?" Zhou Wen asked.
"There's no need to use your clumsy goading method. I can tell you clearly now that I'll accept any bet. Even if it's unfair. Just tell me, how do you want to bet?" The Thearch said with a smile.
"My bet is very fair. I want to bet my luck with you." Although The Thearch had made it very clear that she would accept an unfair bet, Zhou Wen didn't plan on proposing such a bet.
This was because Zhou Wen knew very well that his knowledge wasn't on the same level as The Thearch's. Even if he believed that he would definitely win the bet, he might not really win. Furthermore, he might lose even worse.
"Are you sure you want to bet your luck with me? You probably forgot that to me, even if it's a one in a billion chance, it's 100% as long as I'm willing. I suggest you bet on something with a higher chance of winning. For example, you can bet that you are a man or that I won't die today. That way, your chances of winning will be higher, "The Thearch persuaded earnestly.
"There's no need. Since it's a bet, it has to be absolutely fair. I'll bet my luck with you. If you don't win, forget about her domain core. Give me another domain core. If I lose, her domain core will still be yours. The previous bet will still be valid. Furthermore, it will be as you wish. I'll help you escape now, "Zhou Wen said with a shake of his head.
"Then as you wish. How do you want to bet your luck?" The Thearch was truly interested. She wanted to know how Zhou Wen was going to bet.
"I want to bet with you on who will live longer." Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen directly mentioned the bet he had thought of.
After The Thearch heard Zhou Wen's bet, she immediately understood his intentions. She said disdainfully, "Are you betting that I'll live longer than you?"
"No, I want to bet that I'll live longer than you," Zhou Wen said.
The Thearch couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. This was because it was impossible for Zhou Wen to win such a bet.
If The Thearch was willing, she could kill Zhou Wen. Then, she would naturally win the bet. Therefore, this was a suicidal bet.
What kind of figure was The Thearch? After some thought, she immediately understood Zhou Wen's thoughts. Her voice turned cold. "Do you really think I won't kill you? It's best you don't challenge my patience. My tolerance is very limited. "
"You can kill me, but you won't win even if you kill me. You will still lose the bet," Zhou Wen said indifferently.
"Why can't I win even if I kill you?" The Thearch was somewhat curious. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand why she would still lose after killing Zhou Wen.
It's starting to rain. It's a little heavy, but there shouldn't be any danger. I'm just afraid of a power outage. If I don't update tomorrow, there might be a power outage. Friends, don't worry about me.
