Chapter 221 Holy Mother
At this moment, a tall and beautiful woman came out of the house!
Although she was over forty, she was very well-maintained. Wearing a long gown embroidered with white lotuses, she swayed gracefully and exuded a sense of holiness that made people want to worship her!
Upon seeing the woman, the six guards immediately knelt down and respectfully greeted her, "Your Majesty!"
The woman ignored the six guards, turned to look at Ujina, smiled slightly, and waved her hand!
Ujina's nose tingled with emotion, and she immediately ran over, hugged the woman, and choked out, "Mother! I've finally seen you!"
Yenara smiled gently, patted Ujina's hair, and said, "Child, you've suffered! You did a great job, you really stole the Heavenly Khan's Decree. By the way, you didn't lose the Heavenly Khan's Decree, did you? Is it still on you?"
Ujina nodded: "It's not lost! Mother, don't worry, I know the importance of the Heavenly Khan's Token, so I hid it in a completely safe place where no one else can find it!"
Upon hearing this, Yenara frowned: "What? The Heavenly Khan's Decree isn't on you?"
Ujina quickly explained, "Yes, Mother! The Khan's Token was extremely important that day. Last time I was captured by those people, they almost found the Khan's Token!"
"So later, I had a brilliant idea and entrusted the token to a very reliable and capable person for safekeeping! That way, even if I were captured, those people in the royal court wouldn't get the Heavenly Khan's decree!"
Yena's face darkened, and she frowned, saying, "You child, how could you be so reckless? The Khan's token is the most important symbol of our Great Manchu Kingdom; how can it be handed over to just anyone?"
Ujina quickly replied, "Mother, don't worry! It's actually unsafe for you to carry it with you!"
"This time, when I fled the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I was pursued by the people of the Prime Minister's mansion! But for some reason, the pursuers disappeared, and I escaped! If I had the Khan's token with me that day, it would have been too dangerous!"
"But Mother, please rest assured, I will definitely bring the Heavenly Khan's token back with me when I return to the royal court this time!"
Yenara didn't say anything more, and nodded slightly: "Alright! Now we must quietly head to the royal court to hold the ceremony again! Take the token and come with me!"
Ujina thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Mother, why don't you go first? I have some things to attend to, and I'd like to go with that person! That way, it will be much safer for me to retrieve the Heavenly Khan's token once we reach the royal court!"
Yenara nodded slightly: "Alright! You obtained the token, so you can decide your own affairs! Just don't miss the deadline!"
"I might as well go back first and get rid of those troublesome people!"
Ujina nodded and asked, "Mother, will we really succeed this time? Once you become the Heavenly Khan and the Holy Mother, will we no longer have to travel, be hunted, and be wanted? Will we be able to stay together forever?"
Yenara chuckled softly and patted Ujina on the back: "Of course! As long as you and I are of one mind, we will execute your bastard father on the spot! Our Great Manchu Kingdom will no longer be at war year after year!"
Meanwhile, Chen Yang rushed excitedly towards the largest gambling casino!
Upon arriving at the casino's perimeter, Chen Yang was utterly shocked.
This casino covers an area that is absolutely enormous!
In the center of the casino was a huge fighting arena, where more than a dozen monsters were tearing each other apart!
Around the arena, there were more than seven thousand gamblers, all waving their fists and roaring passionately, cheering for the fighting beasts they had bet on!
The entire casino was filled with a vibrant and exciting atmosphere!
The atmosphere created makes many people want to take out their spirit stones and gamble a few rounds as soon as they enter the casino!
After entering the casino, Chen Yang first walked around halfway!
At this moment, a young cultivator in his twenties, holding a demonic beast that resembled a large yellow dog, sat on the edge and wept bitterly.
Chen Yang couldn't help but walk over and ask the young man, "Dude, why are you crying? Did you lose all your money?"
The young man turned to look at Chen Yang, then said dejectedly, "I didn't lose it all, but I'm almost there! I took all the spirit stones I had at home and borrowed from all my relatives and friends, and I only managed to get eight hundred spirit stones!"
"I originally wanted to bring my dog, Dahuang, here to win a game and change my fate! But I never expected that in the very first game, Dahuang would get bitten, and I had to pay out over six hundred spirit stones! Now, I'm too ashamed to face my parents and all my relatives and friends!"
Chen Yang glanced at the big yellow dog next to the boy and reached out to pet it!
Big Yellow looked at Chen Yang fearfully, its tail tucked in and ears drooping, not daring to move, letting Chen Yang's hand fall on it!
Seeing this, Xu Ren said with some surprise, "Our Dahuang never lets strangers touch it! Oh no, Dahuang must be stunned after being bitten last time, it doesn't know how to fight back now!"
Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh—as a super beast tamer, taming a monster like Da Huang was a piece of cake for him.
He patted the dog's head and then understood why this guy was so confident and dared to gamble at the casino!
The big yellow dog in front of us may seem to be just an ordinary demon beast at the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm, but it has a different high-level bloodline hidden in its body!
This allows Da Huang to reach the level of a Golden Core Realm demon beast when it unleashes its power!
The guy next to me obviously knew the potential of his monster, so he wanted to bring it along to take a gamble!
He just didn't expect that the high-level bloodline in Dahuang's body was ultimately too rare. Even if it was unleashed, it would only have the strength of the fifth or sixth level of the Golden Body Realm. Naturally, it would not be able to gain an advantage when facing other super high-level monsters in the arena!
At this moment, Xu Ren sighed and patted Da Huang on the back: "Let's go, Da Huang! Let's go home and accept our punishment! Casinos are not places for ordinary families like ours; it really is all shady dealings!"
Chen Yang chuckled and grabbed Xu Ren's arm, saying, "Hey buddy! This is my first time here too, and I'm a bit confused. I was just about to ask you some questions! How exactly does gambling work in this casino?"
Xu Renyi said listlessly, "It's very simple! Look at the thirteen demonic beasts fighting each other on the field. Whichever one you favor, just go to the counter in front and bet on it to win! If it wins, you'll get spirit stones according to the corresponding odds; if it loses, you won't get a penny! However, I must advise you, nine out of ten gamblers lose!"
Chen Yang nodded slightly: "I see! It seems that all we need to know is which of these demonic beasts is the strongest, right?"
Xu Ren rolled his eyes: "It's not that easy! I know a little about demonic beasts. For example, in the arena right now, it's obvious that the black bear is the strongest! But for some reason, it's always being attacked by the other demonic beasts together!"
"Look, this is just the beginning, and Black Bear has already collapsed! Many people who bought Black Bear shares have naturally lost everything!"
Chen Yang looked at the arena, then glanced around, and suddenly understood!
This beast fighting casino may seem fair, but it's not!
Because Chen Yang could clearly sense that beast tamers were hidden around and underground in the arena!
Although others couldn't sense it, Chen Yang saw through it at a glance—the process of betting on beasts was being manipulated!
Chen Yang's eyes lit up, then he looked at the big yellow dog beside Xu Ren and asked, "Wouldn't we earn more if we brought our own demonic beasts to participate?"
Xu Ren nodded: "Of course! If your own monster wins, in addition to the odds, you'll also receive a prize of one thousand spirit stones! Besides, you can also bet on your own monster to win, and the final reward will naturally be even greater!"
Chen Yang laughed and said to Xu Ren, "By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Yang! I'd like to borrow your demonic beast to participate in the duel!"
Xu Ren rolled his eyes: "No way! Didn't you see? My beast is injured. If we let Da Huang into the arena, we're guaranteed to lose. There's no chance of winning!"
Chen Yang smiled confidently, "Don't worry! I think Da Huang is still very strong! You hand the monster over to me, and I guarantee it will complete the competition safely and win!"
"I have a high-grade spiritual artifact here. You can take it for now! If anything happens to Da Huang, this high-grade spiritual artifact is yours!"
As he spoke, Chen Yang handed a Blood Fiend Sword to Xu Ren!
Xu Ren was startled when he saw that it was a high-grade spiritual artifact—this thing was considered an extremely rare treasure in the entire Ming Dynasty!
He felt the sword in his hand was a little hot. This time, Xu Ren finally became serious and said to Chen Yang, "Hello, my name is Xu Ren! It's a deal! This high-grade spiritual weapon is mine first. If anything happens to Da Huang, this high-grade spiritual weapon is mine!"
Chen Yang laughed, patted the head of the big yellow dog beside him, and checked its injuries—the big yellow dog had been bitten on the front leg and was bleeding, and also had a muscle strain, but the injury was not serious!
Chen Yang took out a spirit stone, fed it to Da Huang, and then gave its leg a simple bandage!
After doing all that, Chen Yang led Da Huang to the counter in front!
At this moment, the second round of the competition was being prepared at the counter, with thirteen demonic beasts participating again. Most of these demonic beasts were around the early stage of the Golden Body Realm!
Chen Yang stepped forward and asked the staff to let Da Huang continue participating in the competition!
The staff member glanced at Big Yellow and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Dude, your monster already lost the last round and is limping. Are you sure you want it to continue the competition?"
Chen Yang nodded: "I'm very sure!"
The staff member said, "Okay! But let's make it clear beforehand: if it dies during the fight, it has nothing to do with our casino! Also, to participate in the fight, you need to pay a registration fee of fifty spirit stones!"
Without wasting any words, Chen Yang immediately paid the registration fee!
An hour later, the previous betting match ended!
Most of the gamblers were dejected and wailed – after all, the monsters they favored had completely lost, while the monsters they didn't expect to win had become dark horses and ultimately triumphed!
As a bell rang, the next betting match officially began!
The big yellow dog that Chen Yang sent in looked slightly weak among the thirteen demonic beasts, and the bandages wrapped around its legs were particularly eye-catching!
The referee shouted, "A new round of betting has officially begun! Now, please place your bets on the monsters you favor!"
The surrounding audience sighed in dismay.
"Damn! How come that big yellow dog is back again?"
"Damn it, is its owner an idiot? Is he not satisfied until he kills his own monster on stage?"
"Who would bet on this monster to win? It was bitten all over in the last match; this dog's got scared out of its wits!"
Everyone was commenting on the thirteen demonic beasts, and those who knew about demonic beasts began to investigate the strength of each one!
Then, everyone rushed to the counter and began to buy the monsters they thought might win!
The most popular one is the black-backed crocodile!
However, the black-backed crocodile is too popular, and the odds are correspondingly low—if you bet 100 spirit stones on the black-backed crocodile and it wins, you will only get a return of 200 spirit stones!
As for monsters like Dahuang that are not favored, the odds can be as high as 1 to 10 – if you spend 100 spirit stones to bet on Dahuang to win, and Dahuang wins in the end, you will get 1,000 spirit stones!
This is exactly the effect Chen Yang wanted!
Seeing that everyone had finished their purchases, Chen Yang walked over at the last moment, took out 10,000 spirit stones, slammed them on the counter, and said, "I'll bet 10,000 spirit stones on Da Huang to win!"
This 10,000 spirit stones is also the highest betting amount for each match!
