Chapter 91: Stress
When he walked out of the mansion of Duomin, Ao Tingxin's face was extremely ugly. When he went down the steps, he even stepped on the air and almost rolled down. Fortunately, his maids were very clear-headed and quick-witted.
However, even so, it caused a wave of commotion.
Standing not far away, Wang Xi looked at her quietly. Ao Tingxin turned around and nodded, saying hello.
The Crab General whispered: "Your Highness, the car is here..."
Ao Tingxin nodded silently, carried the hem of the skirt and got on the carriage.
...
"What's going on? What's the reason for the multi-eyed monster to attack us? Can he still cover the sky with one hand?"
"He caught the handle of Tingxin escorting the Nine-Headed Worm to Wanshou Mountain."
"Even if there is no such handle, he may still attack us. Now in his eyes, it is probably more important to eliminate civil strife than external troubles. His purpose is to compress the strength of the demon kings."
"Is that true? Without this handle, he will at least not be able to attack us blatantly, and we will have a certain amount of space and time to mediate."
"This is no longer a matter of money. According to his request, will those demon kings let us go? Not to mention the Demon Kingdom, none of our four continents can be safe!"
In the cabin, facing the phantom of the Dragon King of the Four Seas presented in the crystal mirrors around, Ao Tingxin knelt quietly, lowered her head, and said nothing.
"Neutrality has always been our principle. Who destroyed this principle and who decided to escort the Nine-Headed Wart to Wanshou Mountain?"
"The situation was urgent at that time, and the Nine-Headed Bug had already boarded the warship. If he did not agree to his request, something might happen... Tingxin was actually coerced."
"Can you get involved with the entire dragon clan when you are coerced?"
"In other words, this matter was her decision alone? Since that's the case, what obligation do we have to sacrifice all the interests of the mortal world for her?" The phantom of the Dragon King of the West Sea disappeared first.
"Anyway, someone must be responsible for this matter!" The next one was the Dragon King of the North Sea.
He sighed faintly, and the phantom of the Dragon King of the South China Sea also disappeared.
In the end, only the red-haired Dragon King of the East China Sea and Ao Tingxin were left silently facing each other.
The night pearl next to it radiated a soft glimmer, but it couldn't illuminate Ao Tingxin's face.
Silence, a long silence.
From beginning to end, Ao Tingxin just knelt quietly, lowered her head, and said nothing.
After a long time, the Dragon King of the East China Sea whispered: "Father, I heard that the one who asked the Nine-Headed Insect to board the ship was Nuannuan. Is that true?"
Ao Tingxin shook her head slowly.
As if he had not seen Ao Tingxin's actions, the Dragon King of the East China Sea continued: "If it was the fault of the Wansheng Dragon Palace, it would not be up to us. Although handing over Nuannuan and even the Wansheng Dragon Palace would probably not be able to resolve the anger of the many-eyed monsters, at least, it can resolve the anger within our dragon clan and make your position more stable."
Ao Tingxin quickly shook his head again and whispered: "It's not Nuannuan, it's... it's the ship that Jiuteng himself boarded, it was caused by his daughter's negligence."
After this statement, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was silent.
After a long time, even the phantom of the Dragon King of the East China Sea slowly disappeared into the crystal mirror.
In the huge cabin, only Ao Tingxin and the crab general standing quietly behind him were left.
Time passed by bit by bit, but Ao Tingxin still knelt alone and lowered her head.
The crab general standing behind him couldn't stand it anymore. He bent forward and reached out to support Ao Tingxin, saying, "Your Highness, it was indeed Princess Allah who hid the Nine-headed worm in the cabin that day. You don't need to bear this guilt."
"I can carry it, I can carry it." Slowly closing my eyes, Ao Tingxin said softly: "Nannuan's words... the entire Halloween Dragon Palace may not be able to carry it. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned to the outside world, including the father."
After a moment of silence, the crab general whispered: "No."
For a moment, Ao Tingxin suddenly remembered the monkey he met in Wanshou Mountain, and remembered him that he would help him carry it.
But……
Staring at Ye Mingzhu beside him, Ao Tingxin smiled helplessly: "You can't carry it, no one can help me carry it..."
This is her destined mission since she was born.
...
At this moment, the monkey camp was crowded with people.
"I can bear it, I can bear it no matter how big you buy!" The monkey shouted and put the dice cup on the table: "I'll buy it and leave it!"
A large group of demon soldiers surrounded the table, each of them opened their eyes wide and held their breath.
"Small! Small! Small!"
"Open! Hahahaha, big! Blacktail, collect money!"
"Okay!" Hei Tai rushed forward and happily held all the money in his arms.
"Are you wrong? Eleven big!" A demon soldier started shouting.
"Hey, hey, I'm willing to accept the loss!"
"I didn't say I was unwilling to admit defeat!" The demon soldier cursed, but could only turn his head and squeeze out the crowd.
When it was dark, the gambling game finally ended. Some people were smiling, some were still interested, and some had lost their pants. Among them, none of them were soldiers in Monkey's own camp.
“How much did you win today?”
"Three Thousand Silver Claws!"
"Yes, if that happens, we will have the principal of eight thousand silver claws." The monkey took a silver claw and looked at the rising sun carefully, and smiled into a flower: "I didn't expect that you still understand this."
"Hehehe, Brother Monkey, I'm a mouse in the casino. I've seen too many gambling things like this. Gambling ghosts, if you win, you still want to win. If you don't lose, who will leave? In the end, you will definitely win in the casino. Look at those who win, you will definitely come tomorrow. We use the military pay from the entire camp as principal and win them to death. Hahahaha!"
The bull heads around him were all smiling with big red, white frost and fat intestines.
The monkey looked at the excited black tail and said leisurely: "So... you were not here before, just ran to another camp to bet?"
After asking, Heiwei was embarrassed and quickly shrank his neck and said, "Brother Monkey, isn't this... a little addicted? I haven't touched the dice all the way before. Look, as soon as our casino opens, I'll summon all my gambling friends."
"Okay, let's make up for the merits." The monkey grinned and said, "Now, the elixirs that everyone practices will no longer be a problem. Hehe."
For demon soldiers, the biggest problem in cultivation is actually not the martial arts, but the elixir.
After that day, although the monkey and the crocodile had a lot of fun, they didn’t have a real handle to catch them, and the crocodile spirit was not good at doing anything to the monkey. They dared not lose any soldiers who should be replenished, weapons, equipment, and military pay.
However, after all, it is just a regular army, not a personal guard. It is definitely OK to maintain the military pay and equipment, but if you want to improve the cultivation of soldiers, you basically don’t have to think about it.
After all, for the army, fighting is money. If you have money, you have equipment, pills, and soldiers. As for whether you are good at training, command, and whether you can win, it is all a matter of time.
First of all, you have to be rich.
What should I do if I don’t have money?
Just make money!
The first thing that monkey thought of was his master's acting career. However, this idea was quickly denied.
If you earn the scene fee, the demon soldiers who don’t have much money will not dump you. Sing for free and then earn rewards?
This is also a way. Monkey did this before, but he never made enough money to fill his stomach. Want to buy elixirs to practice by singing opera? Well, basically don’t expect it.
At this moment, Heiwei, who never made any comments, proposed a simpler and more violent approach - to open a casino.
It has to be said that opening a casino in Lion Camel Country is actually a headache. Lion Camel Country is no better than a human city-state. Any one of the God Refining Realm can be easily produced by thousands of people. Therefore, gambling has always been only circulated among soldiers. After all, gambling with cultivation above the God Refining Realm is not luck, but purely cultivation.
Thanks to Monkey's performance in the arena, many people have an impression of him, and they also know that he is just a god-seeing realm. Thanks to Black Tail's mingling in various camps, Monkey's casino quickly opened up and made a fortune.
