CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 26: SHAMELESS CONDUCT

"Shameless, utterly shameless, this is clearly a plot to mob them," on the eve of the much-talked-about beast fight, the people of the Blood Cherry Duke Mansion only received a list of the war beasts for battle provided by the Underground Beast Fighting Arena.

Upon seeing the lineup of war beasts assembled by the Underground Beast Fighting Arena, Hongling and Shalman immediately became furious.

This beast fight starts with the same operational mode, which means the Beast Fighting Arena will provide ten Xuan Beasts.

The participants will still choose their corresponding Xuan Beasts for a series of beast fights, with five consecutive battles as usual.

At first glance, this beast fight seems no different from the previous ones that Yue Jinghua had been through, but upon closer inspection, this battle almost amounts to a conspiracy.

This time, the list from the opposing side included ten Xuan Beasts, with the addition of the Bloodthirsty Leopard, there were eight war beasts, all highly experienced and had hunted countless Xuan Beasts and Dark Practitioners.

One could say, every war beast is a killing machine.

Even if Yue Jinghua had the guidance of the Gold Eater Worm and initially avoided the war beasts, it meant that at the very least, Little Shanshan would have to face three war beasts.

The astonishing combat abilities and ferocity of the war beasts mean that facing just one could exhaust all of Little Shanshan’s Dark Power.

"Miss, shouldn’t we just quit? The odds of one to forty-five are really unfavorable," Hong Shan has always been against Yue Jinghua participating in this beast fight.

The Duke Mansion is already on the verge of collapse. An error this round would undoubtedly be the last straw.

"We cannot retreat," Hong Yao shook her head, "Currently, at least thirty to forty percent of people in the city have bet on this beast fight. If the Duke Mansion withdraws due to fear and looks for excuses to quit, it will undoubtedly put us further in the spotlight."

"Don’t worry, I have faith in Little Shanshan’s capabilities," Yue Jinghua reassured everyone.

Although she said so, in her heart, she was far from confident.

As Yue Jinghua’s first Contracted Beast, Little Shanshan’s progress was astonishing compared to other Earth Middle-stage Xuan Beasts.

However, among Yue Jinghua’s many Xuan Beasts, Little Shanshan could only be considered peripheral, largely due to the limitations imposed by its own Beast Stage.

If it were just against a single war beast, Yue Jinghua had absolute confidence in Little Shanshan’s victory.

But if it were to encounter war beasts consecutively three times, especially since those war beasts came from Zhan BeiAo’s Blood Prison Beast Camp, Yue Jinghua was somewhat uncertain.

How to both protect Little Shanshan and successfully thwart the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce’s plot was the dilemma that Yue Jinghua was now contemplating.

Perhaps touched by Yue Jinghua’s troubled silence, a glimmer of thought similar to that of humans flickered through the eyes of the Flash Mink Leopard.

It stuck out its pink tongue and tenderly licked Yue Jinghua’s hand, acting quite docile.

"Little Shanshan, don’t worry, I won’t let those people bully you. It’s just a shame I can’t personally enter the arena to support you, otherwise I would deploy the Xuan Beasts and surely slaughter them completely," Yue Jinghua huffed.

No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than Yue Jinghua remembered something.

She suddenly slapped her thigh, "I’ve got it! They can’t fault us for not being loyal. This time, I will make the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce lose everything."

That very night, a golden-haired, blue-eyed foreign woman suddenly appeared at the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce’s northern city outskirts betting site,

"Miss, which side would you like to bet on?" One of the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce’s housekeepers glanced at the exceptionally beautiful foreign woman.

The golden-haired woman remained silent. She took out a five-star Dan Xuan Card and threw it in front of the housekeeper, who was still calculating the betting amounts, "Five hundred thousand Xuan Dan, I bet on the young lord of the Blood Cherry Duke Mansion to win."

After leaving the northern city betting point, the golden-haired woman discreetly changed her appearance and then placed another bet of six hundred thousand Xuan Dan at the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce’s east city betting point.

And then... The west, the south... Quietly placing bets totaling two million six hundred thousand Xuan Dan, Hong Yao finally returned to the mansion quietly to report to Yue Jinghua.

"Boss, I’ve placed the bets at various places in the city according to your instructions," Hong Yao couldn’t help but ask again: "Boss, aren’t your bets a bit too big? Two million six hundred thousand Xuan Dan, that’s all your liquid assets."

"You can’t catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair. Besides, in this match, we must win," Yue Jinghua stroked the fur of the Flash Mink Leopard perched on her shoulder, her face relaxed with no signs of pre-battle tension.

Compared to earlier, she appeared as if nothing had happened.

Hong Yao was puzzled and took another look at the Flash Mink Leopard, but she couldn’t find anything unusual either.

She left Yue Jinghua’s room. She had not gone far when a group of ladies quickly surrounded her.

Including Shalman, Hongling, and other ladies who chattered incessantly, asking: "How is it? Did you learn about Jinghua’s ultimate move? Is there any chance of absolute victory?"

"No, the boss’s lips are sealed. For safety’s sake, why don’t you take out your private savings? Let’s bet on the War Beast to win. That way, even if we lose, we can still keep some money as a precaution," Hong Yao said with fervor, but she suddenly closed her mouth.

For some reason, Lie Rou had also appeared outside the room.

Lie Rou looked concerned and displeased as she gazed at the women, "You’re going too far... Sigh, your way of betting is wrong. Count me in for the betting. The latest odds are one to fifty-two. Let’s split our money into two parts, so no matter which side wins, we will make a sure profit."

The Duchess excitedly detailed the most appropriate betting strategy, her eyes shining.

You should know that before her husband Yue Nian disappeared, he was a frequent visitor to the Underground Beast Fighting Arena and was extremely familiar with the external betting games. Lie Rou, with exposure from her husband, was also well versed in gambling matters.

Therefore, the women looked at her with admiration, and that night, they added an additional bet.

Everything that happened within the Duke Mansion naturally did not escape the "ears and eyes" of Yue Jinghua’s Dark Beast; she suddenly felt a mix of both laughter and tears.

"Well, let’s just consider it as everyone’s leisure fun after tea and meals. This method of betting is indeed secure. It seems I have underestimated my beautiful mother; she is actually the person with the best economic mind in the entire Duke Mansion," Yue Jinghua sat within the Sea of Consciousness of Mo Xixing, with the Chaos Green Lotus Fire ebbing and flowing in her hand.

Within the green flames, an object similar to a ring or a necklace was faintly taking shape.

Her fingers closed, the flames extinguished, and the newly refined object was swiftly placed around Little Shanshan’s neck.
