Chapter 577: Betting again

West Sea City, the Merpeople Palace.

A slender figure was moving through a giant pool. This figure was full and graceful, as it slowly moved to the edge of the pool and came ashore. The golden hair scattered down, but it couldn’t block that mature and attractive body.

This was a beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation, but it was not a human. The top half was no different from that of a human, but the bottom half was that of a fish.

The scales of the Merpeople race was different. Most of them had green, black, or red scales, with a few of them having rare silver scales. This Mermaid beauty had golden scales and each one of them gave off an immortal like glow!

Only those with the bloodline of the Deep Blue Empire could have this colour. Each scale was a dazzling gold colour, showing a powerful bloodline. This Mermaid beauty was clearly a direct descendant of the royal family.

That’s right.

She was the Deep Blue Empire’s princess.

Although she knew about her background, she didn’t know much about the Deep Blue Empire because when she could understand things, the Deep Blue Empire had already collapsed. Although she was a pure blooded royal Mermaid, she did not live the royal life and had been adopted by Bo Sha into West Sea City since she was young.

The Deep Blue Empire was just a legend and the feeling between people was easier to explain.

Towards her birth, her bloodline, and her family’s glory, they were already nothing more than momentos of the past. Just living in happiness in West Sea City was already enough.

The only thing weighing on her heart is that when Grandma Bo Sha brought her out of the Deep Blue Empire, she had been heavily injured from the rough experience and she was already a lamp about to extinguish. Now that she was on the verge of death, how could she save Grandma Bo Sha?

The demonic beast’s inner core essence could slow this down, but it could not change the current situation!

“Your highness, princess Jin Luo!” A mermaid maid came in, “The City Lord wants you to quickly head over!”

Grandma Bo Sha was actually calling her over? This was not normal!

Jin Luo’s status was special. Countless people wanted the bloodline of the Deep Blue Empire, therefore Bo Sha never allowed Jin Luo to appear in any formal events to avoid any troubles or conflicts, especially at an even like today. It’s said that an important person from a human empire was here and they were most likely here for her, therefore she couldn’t show herself.

Now Grandma Bo Sha was taking the initiative to call her over?

Something must have happened!

“I’ll head over now!”

A golden glow surrounded Jin Luo as a layer of energy surrounded her, causing golden hair to fly up. Jin Luo’s lower half slowly disappeared as the scales gradually faded, being replaced by two slender, white legs falling to the ground. They were like perfect pieces of art and people couldn’t help wanting to protect them when they saw them.

The Merpeople’s appearance weren’t fixed.

Why were they Merpeople? They were human and also fish!

A true high grade Merperson could freely change between human and fish form. Jin Luo’s current appearance was not from a secret technique, but actually changing to a human form, it was a normal body.

Jin Luo finished dressing and came to the main hall with several bodyguards.

Countless people’s eyes were attracted over. There were people from West Sea City who did know of this Deep Blue princess’ identity, but they rarely saw her. Seeing her now gave them a deeply shocked feeling.

Jin Luo was not used to everyone’s attention, especially that one person among the human’s giving off a strong pressure and threat.

One could tell without even speaking.

It had to be the Big Dry Empire’s Yuwen Xi’s group.

Jin Luo was prepared to speak to Bo Sha with slightly knit brows when her eyes suddenly popped open. This was because standing beside Bo Sha was no one else by that despicable human she had met yesterday!

“Why are you here!” Jin Luo felt her teeth ache. It was because of this bastard that she had spent all those source stones yesterday, “I haven’t even found you to settle accounts and you appeared here!”

“Jin Luo, don’t be rude.” Bo Shao softly coughed a few time, “This is Miracle City’s City Lord, Chu Tian!”

Jin Luo’s face instantly turned white.

Chu Tian?

This was Chu Tian?

Miracle City was famous in the Forest of Chaos, there weren’t many people who didn’t know of Miracle City’s existence. This city was as miraculous as its name, rising in just a short year and becoming important enough to influence the entire forest.

Chu Tian revealed a faint smile seeing Jin Luo because as he had expected, it was this girl. Chu Tian’s smile faded and he gave a few soft coughs, “Your majesty, princess Jin Luo, I never thought that I would meet you again in this situation. I won’t say anything unnecessary, take out that Eight Claw Demon’s inner core now!”

“You, you…..”

Jin Luo almost exploded with anger at this bastard.

“Jin Luo, give it to him!” City Lord Bo Sha said with a few soft coughs, “City Lord Chu Tian says that he can cure my injuries. A trivial Eight Claw Demon’s inner core is not worth mentioning for my West Sea City!”

The anger on Jin Luo’s face faded a bit, but now there was a deeply suspicious expression, “Just based on you? I think you are speaking nonsense!”

“Your highness, your words aren’t correct. We are standing on a tightrope right now.” Chu Tian said these words before revealing a smile that didn’t look anxious at all, “Do you see that sir Sage over there? He was sent by the Big Dry Empire to steal you back as his emperor’s little concubine!”

Jin Luo’s expression fell, “What?”

“City Lord Bo Sha is heavily injured, she might not have the strength to protect you. But you don’t need to worry since I have a bet with this Sage. As long as I cure Bo Sha’s injuries, that Sage will immediately scram. I believe in this Sage’s identity, he shouldn’t go back on his words!” Chu Tian looked at Jin Luo before continuing, “I am even putting my life up as a mortgage, shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

Jin Luo was stunned for a while, looking at Yuwen Xi before looking at Bo Sha. Judging on their expressions and reactions, was this really what was happening?

Chu Tian was not related to her, why would he come here to take this risk?

Jin Luo had no choice but to give the Eight Claw Demon inner core to Chu Tian.

“That’s a good girl.”

Chu Tian inspected the inner core in his palm and gave a satisfied nod before giving it to the little fox on his shoulder. The little fox sucked took a bit of the inner core and bit off a large part of it. Everyone was stunned by this, this fellow was truly crazy. He spent quite a bit of bit of effort and finally got this inner core, but he casually fed it to his pet.

Jin Luo felt like she had been tricked, “Bastard! You are a liar!”

Everyone had a feeling of being played. Yuwen Xi had a cold smile as he began to expect what kind of ending this fellow would have.

“I’m sorry, yesterday’s matter was still in my chest and I was feeling very dissatisfied. Now that it has disappeared, I can work much more effectively, so I didn’t trick you.” Chu Tian waved his hand and said, “Let’s start!”

Chu Tian reported a long list of materials.

These materials were precious, but not very rare, so West Sea City could bring out most of them and this was already enough. Chu Tian casually pulled out a pill furnace and threw the materials inside, immediately beginning to refine the pills.

Yuwen Xi couldn’t help taunting him as he saw this, “If City Lord Bo Sha’s injuries could be this easily healed, perhaps it wouldn’t be the turn of a nameless person like you to make a move.”

“Don’t say things too early.” Chu Tian refined the pill while saying, “The main road is simple. There are times when complicated problems can easily be solved with the most simple method.”

Qi!

Chu Tian suddenly opened the pill furnace and threw in another two things. One was a little branch and the other was a crystal bone. After the two things entered the furnace, he started refining again.

A powerful life energy bursted out of the cauldron.

Yuwen Xi’s eyes became serious. He didn’t know what Chu Tian had just put in, but he could tell without thinking that those two materials were not normal.

After another quarter of an hour.

Chu Tian’s pill refining was finally over. A golden pill covered in green stripes finally appeared in front of their eyes. This pill did not just contain a powerful life energy, it was also holding a very strange energy.

“City Lord, please take the pill!”

Everyone was stunned.

Was this fellow joking!

City Lord Bo Sha’s injuries did not just last a day or two, they had been there for a hundred years. Over these hundred years, her life had been speeding by at three-four times the normal speed. It was because of this that she who could live to a thousand was already this old when only turning five hundred.

This loss of vitality was permanent and anything below the Immortal Grade couldn’t reverse that.

Not to mention that Bo Sha had a curse corroding her body, so even the most powerful Immortal Herb would have no use. Chu Tian’s materials were precious, but most of them were rather easily obtained Sacred Herbs, so it couldn’t change Bo Sha’s situation no matter what!

Yuwen suddenly found it very funny seeing this.

He had actually made a bet with an idiot!

This was simply the biggest stain on his life as a Sage!

Jin Luo also stared at him. Although she didn’t believe in the beginning, after hearing that Chu Tian was the Miracle City City Lord, she still had a trace of hope. This person could create a miracle like Miracle City in the Forest of Chaos, perhaps he would be able to create a miracle here.

Who would have thought that Chu Tian would create joke like this.

Using ordinary material, he made a pill in a short period of time. How could this cure Grandma Bo Sha’s hundred year injury?

“Is City Lord Chu Tian playing a joke on this old lady?” Bo Sha’s eyes became a bit cold, “It’s only possible if everyone here is a fool!”

Chu Tian was filled with confidence as he crossed his arms across his chest, “If City Lord Bo Sha does not believe Chu Tian, how about we make a bet?”

“What bet?”

“If this pill is of no use, I’ll give Miracle City to you.” Chu Tian said this and Bo Sha’s brows slightly jumped. Although she was not an inner part of the Forest of Chaos, she knew what value Miracle City had. Chu Tian then said, “If the pill is effective, I don’t want your West Sea City. I just want you to immediately pull out the troops in the Forest of Chaos and have West Sea City join the Forest Alliance. What do you think?”
