From the beginning to the end, the fat cultivator did not use any magic treasures, and Xiong Meng did not have any obvious injuries, but Xiong Meng was still defeated. Moreover, he was defeated very thoroughly, because he did not even touch the corner of his opponent's clothes.
Although Xiong Meng's face was filled with unwillingness, he was actually convinced of his loss.
After falling off the stage, Xiong Meng was surrounded by a group of city guards. If he did not honor his bet, the city guards would not let him leave.
"Thank you for letting me win."
The fat cultivator who was still standing on the stage cupped his hands into fists and said with a humble smile, "A hundred thousand high-grade divine stones is not a small amount. If you can't take it out, then obediently follow behind me and work for me in the future. You can leave when you have enough divine stones."
Although Xiong Meng had a straightforward personality, he could only put on a troubled expression. He knew that his team could not take out a hundred thousand high-grade divine stones.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu went to the side of the gambling house and received a hundred thousand high-grade divine stones with interest. She handed it over to Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai knew what this meant. He first bowed to Xiao Lingyu with a face full of gratitude. Then, he ran to a cultivator who seemed to be the leader of the city guards and handed over the storage bag containing a hundred thousand high-grade divine stones.
The leader of the city guards glanced at the storage bag and nodded, "Not bad, there are indeed a hundred thousand high-grade divine stones inside."
Then, the leader of the city guards threw the storage bag to the fat cultivator on the stage.
The fat cultivator caught the storage bag and his fat face trembled with laughter. After he got off the stage, he handed another storage bag to the leader of the city guards and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, brothers. Take these for your brothers to drink and drink tea."
"Brothers, thank you for the reward!"
The leader of the city guards looked at the number of divine stones in the storage bag and revealed a satisfied expression. He then shouted to the city guards under him.
"Thank you for the reward!"
The group of city guards who had surrounded the arena earlier chanted loudly together. They dispersed the encirclement and released Xiong Meng.
"Thank you for saving me, senior." Xiong Meng knew that it was Xiao Lingyu who gave the divine stones, so he sincerely thanked her.
"Senior Xiao, can you teach this fatty a lesson?" Zhang Hai asked. The few of them really couldn't take this lying down, but their boss had already been defeated. If they went up, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
Xiao Lingyu looked at Miss Jing. Seeing that she didn't nod or shake her head, Xiao Lingyu smiled at Zhang Hai and shook her head.
To be honest, Xiao Lingyu really wanted to teach the fatty a lesson, but this matter had little to do with him. Furthermore, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble when he had just arrived at Du Hu City. Most importantly, he had no reason to duel with the fatty, and the fatty would not be willing to duel with a monarch god.
Xiao Lingyu could endure it, but Miss Jing couldn't. She walked up to the fat cultivator with a calm expression and asked in a provocative tone, "Do you dare to fight with me?"
The fat cultivator looked at Miss Jing with a smile. "Of course, why wouldn't I? I'm just afraid that I'll hurt you."
"Come up if you dare!"
Miss Jing wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with the fat cultivator. She flew directly into the arena.
"Miss Jing, come down quickly!" Zhang Hai anxiously called out.
"Miss Jing, don't be rash!" Xiong Meng also advised.
Everyone had seen how powerful the fat cultivator was. It was obvious that they had no confidence in Miss Jing's victory.
"Let her try. I think she can win," Xiao Lingyu said.
"Senior Xiao, it's fine if you don't go up, but how can you let Miss Jing fight?" Zhang Hai said unhappily.
"She's not a reckless person. Since she dares to go up, she naturally has the confidence to win," Xiao Lingyu calmly replied.
At this moment, the fat cultivator also jumped onto the arena. "Do you want to bet something as well?"
"Up to you," Miss Jing said calmly.
"If I win, you'll follow me from now on. If I lose, not only will I return the hundred thousand high-grade divine stones I just won, but I'll also give you another hundred thousand high-grade divine stones. How about it?" The fat cultivator said confidently.
"Alright."
Miss Jing nodded. "If you lose, you have to shout 'I'm a pig' three times in front of everyone."
The fat cultivator's smiling face immediately darkened. The fat on his face also twitched a few times.
While the fat cultivator's expression changed, another bet was placed below the arena.
"If you believe me, then bet everything you have on Miss Jing's victory."
Xiao Lingyu took the lead and walked over to the betting table. He placed all the godstones in his storage ring on Miss Jing's victory.
Xiong Meng and the others didn't hesitate for long. Like Xiao Lingyu, they also placed all their bets.
Xiao Lingyu felt that Miss Jing would win for two reasons. First, he'd already seen that Miss Jing wasn't simple. Second, it was his intuition.
Miss Jing wasn't an impulsive person. After seeing the fat cultivator and Xiong Meng's battle, she still dared to enter the arena and accept the bet. This proved that she was confident in her victory.
However, the spectators didn't know Miss Jing well. They'd just witnessed the fat cultivator's strength and naturally felt that he would win. They also placed large amounts of divine stones on the fat cultivator.
Many cultivators were like Xiao Lingyu before. Judging from Miss Jing's aura and aura, she was only in the heavenly deity stage. However, Xiong Meng, who'd just become a late-stage heavenly deity, had easily lost to the fat cultivator. It was hard for them to raise their confidence in Miss Jing's victory.
Many of them had placed their bets on Xiong Meng. This time, they were going to take back their capital and interest.
On the arena, the fat cultivator's expression changed again and again. Finally, he said, "Alright, since you're so interested, I'll play with you."
The battle began. This time, the fat cultivator's expression was more cautious. He wasn't as relaxed as he'd been when he'd faced Xiong Meng.
The fat cultivator sensed that this quiet girl was only in the heavenly deity stage.
"As long as you're in the heavenly deity stage, don't even think about beating me. See how I'll torture you after this battle!"
The fat cultivator thought angrily as he began to move. His eyes narrowed into slits, ready to attack at any moment.
This time, it was Miss Jing's turn to stand still. Although she wasn't smiling, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear on her face.
After circling around Miss Jing, the fat cultivator finally couldn't help but attack. His body flashed, leaving behind an afterimage. In the next moment, he was next to Miss Jing. His meaty hand directly reached for her breasts.
Miss Jing still didn't move. However, when the fat cultivator's hand was about to touch her body, a dazzling ring of light suddenly flashed. Then, a small flower vine suddenly appeared from the colorful ring of light, completely binding the fat cultivator's hand.
The fat cultivator's hand couldn't move forward anymore. However, the vine wasn't formed by a powerful spell. He only needed to circulate his cultivation to shatter the vine.
But when the fat cultivator was about to change his move, the dazzling ring of light around Miss Jing suddenly exploded. Then, countless flower petals enveloped the arena.
Those flower petals expanded and split apart. In an instant, the arena had become a world of flowers.
The fat cultivator frowned slightly. No matter how he moved, he would touch the flower petals. However, the flower petals had a certain amount of energy that could make it difficult for him to move forward. This made it difficult for him to display his speed advantage.
Then, more and more green vines appeared. They were like poisonous snakes, wriggling their bodies as they pounced at the fat cultivator.
Whether it was the flower petals or the green vines, they were all formed by a spell. Although the spell wasn't very powerful, it was very useful at this time. It was as if they had grown eyes. Wherever the fat cultivator moved, they would squeeze there. The fat cultivator couldn't get close to Miss Jing at all.
The green vines, which were like vipers, sometimes shot at the fat cultivator like arrows, sometimes lashed at him like whips. Occasionally, the petals would explode around the fat cultivator, creating dazzling lights that could interfere with his vision and spiritual sense. The fat cultivator felt that he was not in a world of flowers, but in a swamp.
Before the fat cultivator could think of a way, his legs were suddenly bound by two green vines. Just as he felt that something was wrong, he lost his balance and was thrown off the stage by the two green vines.
All the spectators were dumbfounded, including Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu had expected Miss Jing to win, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
Miss Jing didn't use any big moves, nor did she use any high-grade magic treasures. She only relied on these seemingly ordinary spells to win.
After the fat cultivator fell off the stage, he was also surrounded by the city guards. The city guards didn't let him go just because he had taken benefits from him. This was a rule, a rule set by the City Lord's Mansion. No one could break or ignore it.
"Good!" Xiong Meng cheered loudly.
"Good, good, good …"
Zhang Hai and the others echoed. Even the spectators were the same. Only the cultivators who'd bet on the fat cultivator's victory were cursing him inwardly for being useless.
"Hehe, it's time to collect the money."
Xiao Lingyu reminded them with a smile and walked to the betting table.
The dealer was very happy because most people had bet on the fat cultivator's victory. The divine stones that Xiao Lingyu and the others had won were only a small part of the total.
"I'm a pig! I'm a pig! I'm a pig! "
As soon as they received the divine stones, Xiao Lingyu and the others heard the fat cultivator's mournful cries.
"Haha …"
All the cultivators laughed, including the ones who'd lost their divine stones. The fat cultivator had caused them to lose their divine stones. Now that the fat cultivator was shouting that he was a pig, they felt a lot better.
Xiao Lingyu and the others smiled knowingly. Meanwhile, Miss Jing took out a storage pouch and handed it to Xiao Lingyu. "There are one hundred and sixty thousand high-grade divine stones in here. One hundred thousand of them are the ones we borrowed from before. Sixty thousand are the rewards we promised Brother Xiao."
Xiao Lingyu didn't pretend to refuse and accepted the storage pouch without hesitation.
"Please wait a moment."
