Chapter 4791: A Costly Bet
“Today, we’ve truly broadened our horizons. The three beloved disciples of the Azure Emperor are genuinely outstanding and exceptional!” another immortal said with a smile, his gaze fixed on the three children, brimming with admiration. How could they have possibly missed such talented individuals?
Everyone offered their congratulations one by one, a string of compliments flowing from their mouths. Hearing this, the Azure Emperor also smiled, his heart swelling with joy. He then looked at Immortal Zinan, who sported a grim expression, and remarked, “Immortal Zinan, it seems you still haven’t given me the item you lost to me!”
Hearing this, Immortal Zinan’s mouth twitched, and he managed a stiff smile. He glanced at the Azure Emperor, then retrieved a piece of golden-purple soft armor from his interspatial ring. With a flick of his hand, the item flew out and landed in front of the Azure Emperor.
“Azure Emperor, keep this well. This is the Purple Sun Golden Soft Armor.” Seeing his treasured possession change hands so easily, his heart truly ached.
The Azure Emperor’s lips curved slightly. He glanced at the golden-purple soft armor before him and said to Yue’er, “Little Qi, you won this back; take it!”
Hearing this, Yue’er was stunned and a little confused. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously, “Master, how did your disciple win it back? Your disciple didn’t do anything!”
“Hehehe…” The Azure Emperor laughed softly, glancing at Immortal Zinan, who looked utterly miserable and pained. “Didn’t you kill that giant python? Immortal Zinan made a bet with me and lost this treasure.” He smiled as if it were nothing, reaching out and stroking the purple-gold soft armor in front of him. “This is one of Immortal Zinan’s rare treasures. Wearing it can protect one’s life and also help with cultivation. It’s so precious that even Immortal Zinan himself is reluctant to wear it! Today, it’s your lucky day, little girl.”
Hearing this, Yue’er’s eyes lit up, and she flashed a sly smile. She bowed to Immortal Zinan and said in a crisp voice, “So it’s such a treasure. Thank you, Immortal Zinan.”
Immortal Zinan listened to the master and disciple, his mouth twitching again, and he managed another stiff smile: “It’s all thanks to your skill.” If it weren’t for this little girl who genuinely killed that giant python herself, how could he have possibly lost that treasure? Now, there was no point in saying anything more.
Yue’er turned around and looked at her master, asking, “Master, can I give this treasure to Senior Brother?”
“Of course you can,” the Azure Emperor smiled and nodded.
Hao’er was slightly taken aback, then stood up and said, “Master, I also have soft armor to protect myself, so let’s give this one to Junior Sister instead!”
“Senior Brother, Master said that this is a good treasure, so please accept it! Wearing it will help you cultivate! In the future, you’ll become even more powerful and be able to protect us better!” Yue’er said with a smile as she picked up the soft armor and placed it in his hands.
“Since your Junior Sister has said so, then accept it!” the Azure Emperor interjected.
Seeing this, Hao’er nodded and said, “Yes.” He then turned to Yue’er and smiled gently, “Thank you, Junior Sister.”
“Don’t mention it, don’t mention it. You’re my senior brother, not an outsider,” Yue’er said with a smile, walking forward to hold Muchen’s hand and adding with a grin, “Second Senior Brother, next time I get a good treasure, I’ll take it and give it to you.”
