The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader
Chapter 255: Raising the Price
After saying this, he took a big step forward without hesitation, like an arrow shot from a bow, his posture as steady as a mountain, walking in front. At the same time, he did not forget to look back and signaled with his eyes that Chu Wan Ning and Fu Qian behind him should follow.
Chu Wan Ning followed Chang Le's steps and finally began to unveil the mysterious and charming Ji Le Fang ship.
Changle first brought them to an exquisite and gorgeous front desk, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully wrote down the names of Chu Wan Ning and Fu Qian, and listed them as tribute students, with a special note as VIP level.
Then, as if by magic, he took out two exquisite wooden plaques from the drawer and handed them to Chu Wan Ning and Fu Qian.
The texture of these two wooden plaques is as smooth as silk and as soft as jade; the patterns on them are finely carved, delicate, intricate and magnificent; the most dazzling thing is the word "VIP" written in gold paint, shining like stars.
Changle smiled and said to Chu Wanning and Fu Qian earnestly:
"My two respected guests, our Ji Le Fang ship has a very strict identity management system! Therefore, please be sure to keep this VIP card properly. It is best to hang it in a conspicuous place around your waist. In this way, waiters like me can recognize your noble status at a glance and provide you with the best service!"
After hearing this, Chu Wan Ning and Fu Qian nodded to show that they understood, then carefully took the VIP cards and tied them around their waists.
Everything was ready. Changle led them forward with a smile, officially starting the Jilefang boat trip.
Chu Wan Ning looked around curiously. After carefully observing the surroundings, she was surprised to find that there were actually many people coming with them, and they were all dressed in men's clothes. Some of these people kept praising each other, laughing and talking, and walked towards the Jilefang ship together; while others seemed to be very familiar with the environment here, and didn't care about other things around them, and walked straight to the deeper part of the Jilefang ship; in addition, there were a small number of people who wrapped themselves tightly from head to toe, as if they were going to conduct some secret transaction that could not be known by others.
In contrast, Chu Wanning and Fu Qian were like new players in the game, with no experience at all. They could only follow NPC Changle closely, and through Changle's introduction and guidance, gradually understand what this so-called "Newbie Village" is all about.
This is the legendary Novice Village. The front section of the Jilefang ship is like a dazzling market with all kinds of goods.
Common objects such as elixirs, swords, clothes, etc. are displayed among them. Although these things are not rare in heaven and on earth, their prices vary greatly.
Take the Qingxin Pill as an example. Originally, it only cost two high-grade fairy stones to purchase it, but here it has soared to twenty high-grade fairy stones. Such an outrageous price difference is really shocking. It is clearly a blatant price gouging!
Chu Wanning and Fu Qian were like two light butterflies, dancing among the colorful flowers, unaffected by the noisy environment around them. Before long, they quickly left the noisy commercial district and stepped into a quiet and peaceful place - a place dedicated to people drinking tea.
The atmosphere here is elegant and pleasant, with many monks either sitting in meditation or leisurely sipping tea. It is undoubtedly an ultimate enjoyment to meet with close friends here, sipping tea and chatting.
When Chu Wan Ning passed by a tea table, she inadvertently glanced at the price list next to it. She was stunned at first, and then turned and left without hesitation!
Oh my god! Who on earth dares to offer such an astonishingly high price of thirty top-grade immortal stones per pot of tea! How can this be called business? It's clearly robbery in broad daylight! And you still want to make money from me? No way!
Changle saw that they didn't seem to want to stay here, so he continued to lead them forward and let them continue to look.
Fu Qian and Chu Wanning followed Changle's footsteps and continued to walk slowly forward. As they walked, they suddenly found a huge building in front of them, roughly estimated to be about three stories high. Every floor was crowded with people, and the noise was bustling, with all kinds of shouts and laughter intertwined, making it very lively.
Without entering, just standing in the distance, Chu Wan Ning knew that this place was undoubtedly a large-scale gambling house! At this moment, the sound of dice shaking came from inside the gambling house. Chu Wan Ning shook her head helplessly. She was originally planning to bypass this place, but inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
It turned out that the madman who was shouting excitedly and desperately guessing the size of the dice on the first floor was actually the tribute student!
Chu Wan Ning was immediately filled with confusion:
"Didn't he say before that he had no more immortal stones? Why is he gambling again now?"
Facing Chu Wan Ning's question, Chang Le showed a sly smile on his face, and then explained to her lightly:
"Here, you can bet with more than just immortal stones! In addition, you can also use the magic weapons you carry with you as stakes. If he loses everything and becomes penniless, then even his own hands, feet, and cultivation can be used as chips to bet."
Chu Wan Ning was shocked when she heard this. Oh my God! This is not an ordinary casino, it is clearly a bottomless black hole! When gamblers are extremely excited, they often lose their minds and do anything crazy!
As expected, at the moment when she was distracted, Gongsheng had been dragged out of the gambling house by a group of vicious thugs. Gongsheng's face was as pale as paper and lifeless, and it was obvious that he had not gained any advantage here.
One of the thugs said viciously:
"Go outside and solve it. Don't make it dirty here!" another person echoed:
"Okay, you use your spiritual power to suppress him, and I will be responsible for cutting off his hands."
Seeing the critical situation, Chu Wan Ning stepped forward without hesitation, blocked their way, and asked anxiously:
"Wait! Brothers, please tell me first, what crime did he commit that he had to suffer such a cruel punishment?"
After some questioning, Chu Wan Ning finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Gongsheng had just broken away from Chu Wan Ning and others and broke into the gambling house. Unexpectedly, Gongsheng performed exceptionally well at the gambling table and was a big winner. However...
