Five days later, Xu Chunniang faced her second fight after advancing to the next round.
Due to her outstanding performance against Fu Yuan, as expected, her odds became lower again, to two to one, which was four times lower than the previous fight.
Now, almost everyone in the entire fighting arena knew that she had the power of words. Even Shao Guang had heard about it and made time to come and watch her fight.
Shao Guang, as a member of the Word Spirit Clan, possesses amazing sensitivity. The moment Xu Chunniang entered the fighting arena, Shao Guang's eyes were locked on her.
"How about my last proposal, have you considered it?"
Xu Chunniang heard the voice transmission, glanced around the front hall, and soon saw Shao Guang who was nodding to her.
These days, she had more or less heard about Shaoguan's identity from other people, and knew that she had a strong background and had a celestial master as her backer.
I'm afraid Shaoguan's statement that he wanted to make friends with her was false, and his real intention was to win her over for Sanchongtian's master after they get to know each other better in the future.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm anything special and not worthy of Fairy Shao's concern."
Shao Guang raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but cross his arms and continued to transmit his voice, "What you said, are you looking down on me and think I am not worthy of your friendship?"
The two people sitting next to Shao Guang observed his words and expressions and realized that Xu Chunniang had rejected Shao Guan, and they couldn't help but whispered to reprimand her.
"You are so rude. Fairy Shaoguang is willing to take the initiative to make friends with you. This is such a great honor and favor, and you don't even appreciate it?"
"Fairy Shaoguan looks up to you, she thinks highly of you, don't take advantage of your own strength and act like a show-off!"
Xu Chunniang didn't take their words to heart, she just looked at Shao Guang and said, "I have another fight to do next, so I won't disturb Fairy Shao from watching the fight. Goodbye."
Seeing that Xu Chunniang said goodbye and really left him aside, Shao Guang was stunned and a little surprised.
Because of her status, she has always been very popular in the arena. No matter where she goes, she is always the center of attention.
Before, no one she had taken the initiative to make friends with dared to refuse her request. Could it be that Xu Chunniang was not as simple as she appeared to be, and had some powerful background
While Shao Guang was deep in thought, the two people sitting next to her stood up for her.
"This Xu Chunniang, relying on the fact that she has won several matches, actually ignores Fairy Shao. It's a pity that the Fairy even specially inquired about the time of her fight and came to watch her fight!"
"That's right! In my opinion, she should be taught a lesson. Once she falls, she should put away her ridiculous arrogance!"
Shao Guang did not comment, and said calmly, "In today's fight, in my opinion, Xu Chunniang has more than 70% chance of winning."
The other two looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Should we place a bet on her to win?"
Shao Guang nodded, took out his identity token and handed it to the two of them.
"Go and help me place the bet. Just bet... one thousand immortal crystals. The fighting field is ever-changing and accidents may happen at any time. The outcome is uncertain. Don't expect to win a large amount of immortal crystals by betting. Just have fun."
"Okay, then let's join in the fun and bet one thousand each."
While the three were discussing, Xu Chunniang and Gong Lao were also discussing how many immortal crystals should be bet in this fight.
It was called a discussion, but it was mainly Old Gong who was saying that he was not sure how much immortal crystals to bet.
If I bet less, I always feel that I won’t earn enough. If I bet more, I worry that something unexpected will happen and I will lose everything.
He hesitated and said, "I heard that your opponent this time is not as strong as Fu Yuan last time, and his overall winning rate is less than 70%. I think you can win this time."
Xu Chunniang slowly raised her head and glanced at Old Gong helplessly, "Old Gong, in less than half an incense stick of time, the fight will begin. Have you decided how much you want to bet? If you don't place your bet, I will!"
Provoked by her, Mr. Gong gritted his teeth and said, "I bet one thousand!"
Xu Chunniang gave him a strange look and said, "Only one thousand? That's not what you said the last time you were in my courtyard. I thought you would bet at least three to five thousand."
Old Gong's face turned red. Even though he had been in the fairy world for so long, he was actually quite timid, especially when it came to fairy crystals.
After all, it's not easy for him to save some money.
For him, being willing to place a huge bet of one thousand this time was already a huge investment.
He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"Last time was last time, this time is this time. If you win, I can only earn 500 immortal crystals. Excluding the tickets for watching the fight twice, there won't be much left!"
Xu Chunniang nodded in understanding, "Mr. Gong, do you have any immortal crystals on you? Lend me some and I'll return it to you in a while."
Although Mr. Gong was a little surprised, he still asked, "How much do you want?"
"Not much, maybe 22,000."
"Twenty-two thousand?"
Old Gong was shocked. "What do you want so many immortal crystals for? Are you planning to buy a house in Fuyu City? This is too fast. How about waiting a year or two?"
Xu Chunniang was almost amused by Mr. Gong. She suppressed her laughter and said, "I didn't borrow the money to buy a house. Anyway, I will return it to you soon. It will probably take half an hour. Do you have so many immortal crystals on you?"
"Of course."
Old Gong said with a rather smug tone, "I am a terrestrial immortal who has worked diligently for so many years. How could I not even be able to produce this little bit of immortal crystal?"
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper, and neatly wrote an IOU, saying it generously.
"We are so familiar with each other, and you only borrow it for half an hour, so I won't charge you the interest. However, the amount is too large, so we still have to sign the contract."
"OK."
Xu Chunniang gladly took the contract, wrote her name on it, and put away one of the copies.
Old Gong put away another contract and handed Xu Chunniang a brocade bag. "The immortal crystals are all in here. Count them. Let me make it clear in advance that I am only lending you this brocade bag for use. You must return it to me when you pay me back."
Xu Chunniang sent a wisp of her spiritual consciousness into the brocade bag. After confirming that it was correct, she put it away and waved to Mr. Gong.
"Okay, I'll go first. We'll talk after the fight is over."
Looking at the direction Xu Chunniang left, Old Gong couldn't help but mutter, "What does she want to borrow so many immortal crystals for? Is it for betting?"
Thinking of the amount of money Xu Chunniang borrowed, Mr. Gong was shocked, then shook his head, overturning his guess.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The arena stipulated that the betting limit for each person was 10,000 immortal crystals. She had borrowed so many immortal crystals that she had far exceeded the betting limit.
Most likely he has other important matters to attend to and needs the Immortal Crystal urgently.
Seeing that the fight was about to begin, Old Gong didn't think twice and quickly walked to the betting area, bought a thousand fairy crystals worth of chips, and bet on Xu Chunniang to win.
Covering his pounding heart, Mr. Gong calmed down for a while, then clenched his chips and walked towards the stands.
