Chapter 36: Dangerous Choices

"Ding...... Ding Ding ......

The crisp sound of the collision of green jade gently echoed on the delicate wooden platform, and under the plucking of Bi Fang's white and dexterous hands, the three teacups were quickly and horizontally handed over on the wooden platform as if they had come to life, which was dizzying, but no matter how turbulent the stage was, the young man sitting on the wooden platform always closed his eyes and sat upright as if he were not looking.

Is it to give up?

Bi Fang thought to himself, but the movements in his hands did not stop, but what he didn't know was that what Jiang Yao heard in his ears at this time, in addition to the sound of the impact between the green jade cups, there was also a slight and extremely subtle sound that originated from the inside of the teacup.

...... in a cup Indeed, there is "something".

After isolating the visual senses, Jiang Yao's attention was concentrated like never before, and he could even feel the gradually clear flow of energy in his body, and with the flow of this energy, he found that his sense of hearing seemed to become more and more acute, and even some subtle sounds that he had not noticed before began to be gradually noticed, but under the interference of the sound of Qingyu teacups hitting each other, these chaotic and trivial slight noises were not enough for Jiang Yao to make a judgment, but it was another "special thing" It has gradually become Jiang Yao's "direction marker".

The energy in his body flowed through the network like an electric current, and after the terrifying explosion before, Jiang Yao was no longer as helpless as before, and while feeling the flow of energy in his body, he could even subconsciously control these energies for a short time to perceive something other than the five senses.

Gradually, in the darkness in front of Jiang Yao's eyes, a faint red halo appeared, as ethereal and swaying as a candle flame in the wind.

With ......! I can really 'see' the demonic energy!

Jiang Yao's spirit suddenly perked up, but he didn't open his eyes, but continued to concentrate and direct the energy flow in his body to his head, and the red demonic light swaying in the darkness was also becoming clearer and clearer in Jiang Yao's "field of vision".

The "Red Blood Bead" refined from the demonic power of the demon beast "Monster Snake" must exude a strong "demonic energy", and this "demonic energy" is not something that can be shielded by a mere green jade teacup, in other words, as long as the source of the "demonic energy" can be perceived, then the location of the "red blood bead" can be judged more accurately than simply looking at it with the naked eye.

The swaying demonic light in front of him firmed Jiang Yao's judgment, and at the same time, the crisp collision sound in his ears finally stopped.

The random ordering of the three cups had obviously come to an end, but Bi Fang's voice did not sound, but calmly looked at Jiang Yao, who was thinking with his eyes closed, and seemed to be very patiently waiting for him to give an answer.

That's it......

In the field of vision, the constantly shaking demonic light has become still, Jiang Yao "stared" at the red demonic light in the middle of his vision, and gradually made a judgment in his heart, but just as he was about to open his eyes and report the answer, he suddenly found a trace of abnormality.

One, two, three......

The red demonic light in the center was still flickering, and what shocked Jiang Yao was that he suddenly "saw" two identical red demonic lights rushing out like flames, one on the left and one on the right, neatly arranged on both sides of the central demonic energy.

This...... What's going on!?

Jiang Yao opened his eyes suddenly, but saw that in the direction where the three red demon lights were, three green jade teacups were quietly placed there, facing Jiang Yao's pale face, as if they were silently mocking.

"Hehe, have you thought of the answer to this last game?"

Bi Fang's voice sounded at the right time, pushing Jiang Yao's situation to the last cliff, Jiang Yao stared at the three teacups in front of him, and at this moment his mind was not only full of confusion, but also filled with deep disbelief.

Three green jade teacups...... Each one has the demonic aura of the 'Red Blood Bead' in it?W-How can this ......!?

"Enough time to give you to think about it, okay, make your choice. Facing Jiang Yao's shocked face, the smile on Bi Fang's face was as light and calm as ever, only to see him calmly shaking the feather fan and giving an ultimatum to Jiang Yao.

"......" Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, at this moment he had no last bargaining chip, and his original confident judgment became a joke in front of reality, and now everything can only be decided by luck.

Unfortunately, this time, luck was still not on his side.

Looking at the empty table under the selected teacup, Jiang Yao's mind suddenly went blank.

…… Lost.

From hope to despair, it only took a few minutes. At this time, Jiang Yao was not only facing a huge amount of compensation, but also meant that the white pheasant who was implicated by himself had lost his freedom, and the only memorial left by that important person to himself was also deprived at this moment.

"Hehehe, it seems that your luck is really bad, you lost all three games. The woman behind the bead curtain opened her mouth calmly, and the voice sounded like a death knell in hell to Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yao's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.

"Since your gamble has been lost, then according to the agreement, I will accept your necklace. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black necklace that had been placed on the edge of the wooden platform floated into the air and slowly flew behind the beaded curtain.

Jiang Yao raised his head blankly, looking at the black necklace that was gradually leaving him, for some reason his heart suddenly became empty, and the soft sobbing sound of the white pheasant faintly in his ears was also like a heavy hammer constantly beating his heart, which made his whole person suddenly fall into an ice cellar, and his face was suddenly as pale as paper.

"According to the list, the collection you destroyed this time is estimated to be worth a billion in human currency, and you will return it slowly in your lifetime. ”

The pavilion master coldly announced the verdict, and the necklace floating in the air was about to fly behind the curtain, but at this moment, Jiang Yao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth:

"Wait a minute. ”

The flying necklace suddenly froze in mid-air, and the figure behind the bead curtain stared at Jiang Yao, who stood up and looked up at himself, and seemed to have a little disdain in his words:

"What, do you want to cheat if you lose?" the Pavilion Master sneered. "Hehe, I've seen too many people who can't afford to lose, and I can't imagine that you can't be exempt from vulgarity, but it's a pity that in my 'Baoyan Pavilion', this trick doesn't work. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to deny the gamble, I'm just ...... I want to make a deal with you. Jiang Yao stared at the shadow behind the curtain, but his face recovered from the confusion. “

"Tell me about the deal. ”

"For the 'Baoyan Pavilion', which collects the treasures of the world, it may be more cost-effective to obtain treasures of equal or even higher value than the lost collection to compensate for the losses caused by this accident than monetary compensation, isn't it?"

"Having said that, do you have any compensation items equal to the value of those collections?" the Pavilion Master said with a chuckle as he looked at Jiang Yao with interest. "Then again, if you use the 'Xuanwu Pearl' in your arms to make compensation, I may be able to reduce some of your compensation. ”

"I'm sorry, this bead was lent to me by someone else, and I am not qualified to pledge it, but I have something here, which may be more valuable than this 'basalt bead'. ”

Jiang Yao smiled, took two steps forward slightly in the face of Bi Fang's vigilant gaze, and stretched out his finger to point to his chest.

"A person with a 'colorless attribute' physique that is rare in thousands of years, such a 'compensatory item' is enough, right?"

“…… Do you want to compensate yourself?" said the woman behind the curtain, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Yes. Jiang Yao said bluntly. "I can't afford to pay one billion, all I can repay is my life, I am willing to sell this life to you as compensation, but correspondingly, I need you to release the pheasant. ”

"Hmph, do you know what kind of consequences you will encounter if you make such a choice?" the Pavilion Master snorted coldly and said slowly. "Humans who sell themselves in the underworld are slaves, and your life is no longer your own, and it is even more painful than death...... Relatively speaking, you are more comfortable in the outside world to earn money to repay, you really think about it?"

"One person does one thing, and I am not so despicable as to let an innocent woman suffer here for me. Jiang Yao glanced at the white pheasant in the corner and said firmly. "Everything started because of me, so I'm alone in charge. ”

"Don't! Don't do anything stupid!!" the white pheasant shouted anxiously. "You don't understand the world of demons, once you sell yourself, your life will be over!!"

"I've decided. Jiang Yao ignored the white pheasant's words, and then raised his head and said to the figure behind the curtain. "What do you think? This business should be a good deal for you. ”

"Hehehe...... It's interesting, it's so interesting, it's really the first time I've met a strange human like you!"

A low laugh came from behind the curtain, and the figure behind the beaded curtain looked at Jiang Yao thoughtfully, as if he was examining a treasure that he had never seen before.

"I admire your courage, and as a reward, I can give you one last chance. ”

The pavilion master said, stretched out his hand and lightly touched it, only to see that the black necklace in mid-air suddenly flew back and fell in its original position, and at the same time, the enchantment that bound the white pheasant in the corner also disappeared abruptly in an instant.

"I can release the pheasant, and even forgive you all the compensation, as I promised you, as long as you can win this 'decisive gamble'. The pavilion master looked at Jiang Yao and said. "The form is the same as the three games just now, but this time the "bet" is not a necklace, but your life, how about it?

"Jiang Yao......! Don't ......!"

"I promise you. Before the white pheasant had time to stop it, Jiang Yao nodded and agreed. "As long as you release the pheasant, you can gamble as much as you want. ”

"Hehe, that's good. The pavilion master smiled, and seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Yao's answer. "Since you have made a bigger bet this time, then I will also show corresponding sincerity. I heard that the purpose of your visit this time is for the power of the gods?"

"Pavilion Master, do you want to ......!?" Bi Fang's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly wanted to say something, but the figure behind the curtain didn't seem to pay attention.

"As long as you win this game, I will do as you wish. The pavilion master looked at Jiang Yao and said word by word.

"I will give you ...... 'power of blessing'!"
