Chapter 52: Chapter 51: The Bet, Bai Cang, and Black Stripe!
Huang Ying had been by Zhao Yi’s side for such a long time, but never before had she felt such a strong desire for destruction emanating from him as she did yesterday!
In her heart, she had a vague feeling that although Zhao Yi hadn’t successfully broken through, the "Dragon God Technique" had already begun to affect his mind.
Zhao Yi’s future obsession with madness could very likely be destruction!
Huang Ying was puzzled.
Though many madmen had emerged from the royal family, those purely driven by a desire for destruction were rare.
Whether it was the old emperor wanting to topple Great Xia or others wanting radical changes,
their core was not destruction, but change or salvation.
Those with a desire for destruction usually had undergone various hardships, appearing calm on the outside but internally insane.
However, the Zhao clan was the royal family of Great Xia. The nobles and royals grew up in luxury, where would they find opportunities to be tormented?
Zhao Yi was even the standout among them.
Zhao Yi’s luck was exceptional; he had never suffered a bit of grievance.
From childhood to adulthood, besides the setback with Su Qianqian, everything was smooth and wished for in his life.
Huang Ying was extremely puzzled as to why Zhao Yi had an aura of destruction about him.
While pondering this, she suddenly heard Miaoyin Zhenren speak.
She looked at Zhao Yi and curiously asked, "What’s the bet?"
Zhao Yi said, "I bet you can’t kill that monk, and Su Qianqian won’t die!"
Miaoyin Zhenren frowned, "I can understand you saying Su Qianqian isn’t dead, given the complex environment over in West Mountain, even if she fell off a ten-thousand-foot cliff, she’d still have a big chance of surviving."
"But that monk..." Miaoyin Zhenren asserted firmly,
"He’s definitely dead, I say!"
"There’s no one under the heavens who can survive being simultaneously hunted by Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court!"
"I want to kill him, even the Four Seas Dragon Race can’t save him!"
Zhao Yi, not arguing, returned with a question, "Will you bet or not?"
"What’s the wager?" Miaoyin Zhenren asked without hesitation.
Zhao Yi said, "I just said, I bet you can’t kill that monk!"
Miaoyin Zhenren: "Alright, I’ll bet with you! What’s the stake?"
Zhao Yi said, "If I win, you help me deal with Mother, I don’t want to have a matchmaking with Zuo Xiaoluo!"
"That won’t do!" Miaoyin Zhenren decisively refused, "Your matchmaking with General Zuo Luo is arranged by the empress, I dare not oppose her! You must choose something else."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment, then said, "Then you help me ruin the matchmaking, surely that doesn’t go against Mother’s will, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Miaoyin Zhenren hesitated.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi provocatively said, "Could it be that you also think you can’t deal with that monk?"
"How could it be?" Miaoyin Zhenren decisively denied it.
She nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll bet with you! If I lose, I’ll help you ruin the matchmaking! If you lose, then what?"
Zhao Yi replied nonchalantly, "I’ll allow you to choose something from my Treasure Vault!"
Hmm?
Miaoyin Zhenren’s eyes lit up.
She looked at Zhao Yi, surprised, "Didn’t you say your Treasure Vault is your lifeblood and you wouldn’t let anyone in? How come you’re so generous now, could it be you’re so sure you’ll win?"
Zhao Yi replied indifferently, "That’s my business, you needn’t worry. When the time comes, just go in and pick, no matter what you choose, I won’t even blink an eye!"
"No need to pick!" Miaoyin Zhenren’s eyes were dazzlingly bright, "I don’t want anything else, I just want your Bai Cang!"
Zhao Yi’s lips twitched, "You do know how to choose, going straight for my unique item!"
Miaoyin Zhenren said, "Just say if you agree or not?"
"No problem!"
Zhao Yi agreed without the slightest hesitation.
After all, it was a sure-win bet.
Even Bai Cang aside, he wouldn’t mind betting with the Jade Seal!
If the wager was lost, it was actually a benefit for Zhao Yi.
With the protagonist dead, the sword hanging over his head would be gone.
He could truly be himself from then on!
"Deal!"
Miaoyin Zhenren raised her hand and clapped with Zhao Yi, sealing the bet as a vow.
Miaoyin Zhenren, full of confidence, said, "In the shortest time, half a day, at latest, three days, I’ll bring that guy’s head to you!"
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "I await your good news!"
Then, he gestured to the little poison creature beside him.
The little poison creature quickly ran over, "Master, I’d like to request leave, I need to return home to treat Black Stripe!"
Zhao Yi didn’t answer but questioned back, "How do you plan to return?"
The little poison creature quickly said, "I’ll walk back! Master, don’t worry, I have an excellent memory, I won’t forget a road once I’ve walked it!"
Zhao Yi shook his head, "Shengjing City is hundreds of miles from West Mountain, by the time you walk back, that Black Stripe would be long dead!"
The little poison creature’s face changed, "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Yi didn’t speak but instead raised his voice and called out.
"Bai Cang!"
The next moment!
A sharp eagle cry came from high above, echoing throughout the sky.
In the air, a pure white giant eagle spread its massive wings like a white cloud, diving rapidly down!
Seeing such a divine creature for the first time, the little poison creature was dumbfounded in amazement.
Miaoyin Zhenren’s eyes were filled with brilliance.
She stared unblinkingly at the giant eagle named "Bai Cang", her mouth nearly watering!
Zhao Yi gestured, and Bai Cang descended from the sky, folding its wings as it stood in the courtyard, eating the meat prepared by the attendant, appearing very docile.
Miaoyin Zhenren clicked her tongue in wonder seeing this scene.
"A fierce creature like a white eagle is tamed by you to be as docile as a cat or dog! I must say, your talent in Beast Taming is a thousand times stronger than in cultivation!"
After saying this, Miaoyin Zhenren curiously asked, "How did you do it? Is there some secret technique?"
