Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 270 - This is a Luxurious Bet

Chapter 270: This is a Luxurious Bet

Ling Chuxi hesitated for a moment so Gao Wentian said, “Miss Ling, I am not going to ask you what the herbs you want are for. Be rest assured.”
Ling Chuxi only agreed to follow Gao Wentian to go over to the hall behind the shop after hearing these words. After going up to the second floor, Gao Wentian ordered people to serve them tea and then smiled as he began speaking to Ling Chuxi once more, “Miss Ling, what I want to ask is this—is it true that you that have placed bets on yourself to win the upcoming fighting ring competition?”
“You are well informed,” said Ling Chuxi as she looked at Gao Wentian, somewhat surprised. She did not deny it as she nodded and said, “That’s right. I have placed bets on myself to win first place.”
“Miss Ling, I am very keen to know where you get this confidence from,” enquired Gao Wentian with a smile. “However, I know that Miss Ling will not tell me the reason.”
“Yes, that’s right. I will not tell you the reason,” replied Ling Chuxi as she raised her brow and smiled. “However, Young Master Gao, if you sell the herbs to me on credit, what I can tell you is this—if you bet on me, you will win big.”
Gao Wentian went silent and looked at Ling Chuxi for a long while. He could see that there was incredible self confidence in her eyes. Could she really win?
“All right then, Miss Ling, I’ll bet on you winning!” said Gao Wentian decisively. “Then, we will wait to see how things go at the upcoming competition!” This was a luxurious bet, but Gao Wentian felt that he should be able to win it!
“Yes, just wait and see,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile.
Just like that, Ling Chuxi bought quite a fair bit of expensive herbs on credit from Gao Wentian. Then, she started to refine pills throughout the night. Lan Xinyu was waiting by Ling Chuxi’s side excitedly, attentively serving her tea and water, and carefully wiping away her sweat. After a whole night of being busy, finally two advanced tier Tian Luo Pills were refined successfully.
Ling Chuxi gave Lan Xinyu one and gave Ling Yichen the other. Lan Xinyu happily ran off without leaving even a shadow behind after she got the Tian Luo Pill. One could guess that she had went off to find a place to breakthrough. Ling Yichen held the Tian Luo Pill in his hand, stunned.
“Chuxi, thank you,” said Ling Yichen as he smiled, his gaze was incredibly determined. “I will definitely do my best in the competition.”
“Sure,” acknowledged Ling Chuxi with a smile and a nod.
…
The day of the competition was drawing near and the people who had registered to participate were all enthusiastically preparing for battle. The venue of the competition was a huge training arena located at the west city gate of the capital.
The day of the competition finally arrived. On this day, the training arena was full of people. The street food vendors had also grabbed onto the business opportunity to sell things here. There were three large fighting rings set up for the large-scale fight on the first day. Every slot allowed a group of forty people to enter into a ring and fight it out. The last one standing would enter the next round.
Ling Chuxi and the rest of her group stood amongst other contestants. As there were too many of them, there was no place to sit. The only resting place available was only accessible to those entering the next round. Judging by this, one could imagine just how many people had signed up to participate this time.
Amongst the few of them, the first one who had their name called was Lan Xinyu! There were no bets placed on the large-scale fight so Ling Chuxi also did not need to place a bet at this moment.
Without any suspense, in Lan Xinyu’s group, the one who won was her. Lan Xinyu had already broken through to Battle Qi Level 8, after all. And the group of contestants she was with didn’t possess levels of cultivation that were that great and thus, very quickly Lan Xinyu swept everyone off the fighting ring like a tornado. She easily won the round and entered into the next round.
After that Ling Yichen, Xia Zhuoyi and the rest of them took their turns. They also won very easily. Very quickly, it was then Ling Chuxi’s turn.
