Mortal Bones

"Who wants to bet like this with you?"

Before Xu Taiping could speak, Xuanyuan Xueluo on the side rejected Zhou Liang's proposal.

In her opinion, although Xu Taiping won last time, no one can be sure about luck, so there is no need to risk his life.

"But Miss Xueluo, our gambling house will be closed after half a stick of incense."

Zhou Liang put down the handful of broken silver in his hand, and while fiddling with it, he looked at Xuanyuan Xueluo with a smile on his face.

"Then let's gamble again tomorrow!"

Xuanyuan Xueluo saw that Zhou Liang seemed a little abnormal, and instinctively became wary.

Almost at the same time, Mr. Zhang and Xu Taiping smelled a strange fragrance that only outsiders like them could smell.

"Sir, there is a smell of monsters in this gambling den."

Mr. Zhang sent a message to Xu Taiping.

"This aura appears at this time. Could it be possible..."

Xu Taiping looked at Zhou Liang while communicating with Mr. Zhang.

"A monster cannot hide its aura when using its spiritual power. Could it be that he was communicating with someone just now?"

Mr. Zhang was suddenly shocked.

At present, it seems that this person is most likely Zhou Liang.

"Miss Xueluo, you are so noble and forgetful. Five days before the start of the Iron Armor Tournament, the gambling houses in Qixian Town are not allowed to open their doors."

At this time, Na Zhou Liang spoke again.

Xuanyuan Xueluo frowned when he heard this.

Zhou Liang was right this time. In order to prevent the people in the town from using the Iron Armor Tournament to gather for gambling, gambling houses were not allowed to open their doors five days before the Iron Armor Tournament started.

"Miss Xueluo."

When Xuanyuan Xueluo hesitated, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his head and looked towards her.

"What...what happened?"

Being caught off guard by Xu Taiping's stare, Xuanyuan Xueluo felt inexplicably uncomfortable and her voice stuttered.

"Miss Xueluo, if this is a commission from you, I am willing to bet with him."

Xu Taiping said seriously.

"As long as it's my entrustment, you...are you willing to bet with him?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo was stunned, as if she didn't hear clearly, and then checked with Xu Taiping again.

"Um!"

Xu Taiping nodded very seriously, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"But if you lose, you will lose one of your hands."

Xuanyuan Xueluo asked with a frown.

"Don't be afraid!"

Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words of "not afraid", Xuanyuan Xueluo felt as if something had punched her chest hard, and her heartbeat became violent. The thoughts that Xu Taiping just said kept popping up in her mind. Two sentences about the situation, and then I kept thinking about it——

"He said that as long as it is my entrustment, he is not afraid even if one of his hands is broken?"

"This little pervert, can't...can't...can't...like me, right?"

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Xueluo woke up suddenly, and then blurted out:

"no!"

"Huh? No way."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he immediately looked disappointed and thought:

"It is indeed not an easy task to get rewards from Emperor Xuanhuang by completing the tasks of the people in the tower."

That's right, the reason why he specifically asked Xuanyuan Xueluo to confirm whether this was her commission was because he wanted to earn a reward.

As soon as Xuanyuan Xueluo said this, he realized that he had just made a mistake, so he quickly added:

"I, what I mean is, if you have confidence, I can entrust you and give you the due reward, but, but you, but you can't rely on me afterwards! Do you understand?"

"Not allowed to stop you?"

Xu Taiping always felt that it was a bit difficult to communicate with Miss Xueluo.

But since Xuanyuan Xueluo was willing to entrust him with the task, he didn't bother to worry about it. He immediately nodded along with Xuanyuan Xueluo's words and said: "Okay, okay. Okay, no matter whether you win or lose this game, I will never stop you, Miss Xueluo." ”

Immediately, he turned to look at Zhou Liangdao:

"Mr. Zhou, good things come in pairs. Why don't you offer another 300,000 taels to buy my other hand as well."

As he spoke, Xu Taiping put both of his hands on the gaming table.

Zhou Liang obviously didn't expect that Xu Taiping would dare to raise the stakes. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while, until he heard a woman's voice in his mind——

"Promise him."

Immediately, Zhou Liang raised his head, looked at Xu Taiping with a confident smile again and said:

"good!"

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of broken silver from the box on the side, then put it on the table with a fist and said:

"Single or double."

In fact, at the moment when he grabbed the silver, Zhou Liang already knew whether the quantity of silver in his hand was a double or an odd number.

After Xu Taiping thought about it seriously, he suddenly turned to Xuanyuan Xueluo and asked:

"Miss Xueluo, do you prefer odd or even numbers?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo was first stunned by Xu Taiping's question, and then thought about it again in her mind:

"Why did this little pervert suddenly ask me whether I like odd or even numbers? Could it be that he was hinting at something? Odd numbers, even numbers, singles, doubles, alone, in pairs... Sure enough, this little pervert The thief is determined to be a thief!”

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Xueluo immediately crossed his arms over his chest, raised his chin and said:

"This girl has always liked to be alone, so naturally...naturally I prefer the odd number!"

"Odd number..."

Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Zhou Liang and said:

"Then I'll choose an odd number."

In fact, he wanted to choose an even number, but since he had asked Miss Xueluo, it would be bad to change it.

"It all depends on luck, anyway, it depends on you, Jinlinbang."

After choosing, he muttered to himself in his heart.
