Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 534: The Exchanged Bet


"That's good. Tomorrow, the secret realm will be open for entry. Once you enter, you'll have time to stay there for only three days. After three days, you must immediately return to the designated spot. Otherwise, you'll have to wait another three years before you can come out."

Dan-Ge explained the rules of entering the Secret Realm to Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian since he also knew that the two of them were definitely not members of the Silver Body Clan. Even though the population within Huang-Di City was quite large, he could still tell who was a citizen and who was not.

"We got it, sir. Then I'll excuse myself. Because people around here don't seem very satisfied with me, I think I should leave," Zheng-Fu said, making an excuse to leave, hinting at the fact that the Frenzy Lion Clan Leader and other clan leaders didn't like him.

"You!!!"

The Frenzy Lion Clan Leader knew that Zheng-Fu was deliberately being sarcastic towards him, which made him feel dissatisfied. He considered teaching Zheng-Fu a lesson, reminding him who he was dealing with.

But suddenly, Dan-Ge raised his hand to stop him before speaking. "Why are you in such a hurry? Won't you try some of the Monster Liquor Clan Leader's hundred-year-old liquor? A liquor like that isn't easy to come by." Dan-Ge was still trying to keep Zheng-Fu there by bringing up the rare liquor to entice him.

"That's right, kid. If you leave now, it's like you're disrespecting the Monster Liquor Clan Leader, who brought this hundred-year-old liquor for all of us," added the Flaming Dawn Clan Leader.

"Alright, sir. Since the City Governor and the Flaming Dawn Clan Leader have said so, how can I leave? As an apology for my poor manners towards the Monster Liquor Clan Leader, I offer this as an apology," Zheng-Fu said as he took a flask from his dimensional ring and tossed it towards the Monster Liquor Clan Leader, who was watching him with mixed emotions.

Wooooosh!!!

Zing!!!

Blop!!!

Seeing that Zheng-Fu had thrown something over, the Monster Liquor Clan Leader caught it immediately, though with slight dissatisfaction at Zheng-Fu's gesture. He assumed the item Zheng-Fu had given him was something ordinary, but he still accepted it graciously. As he examined the flask, he found that it contained a purple liquid.

"What is this?" the Monster Liquor Clan Leader asked curiously.

"It's an excellent ingredient for fermenting liquor. I happened to come across it in an ancient ruin guarded by a high-level monster demon," Zheng-Fu explained. But in reality, the purple liquid was the diluted divine potion made from the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill.

"Huh! An 'excellent ingredient'? It's just a bottle of stupid purple water!" the Frenzy Lion Clan Leader scoffed, continuing to insult Zheng-Fu. He didn't know what the liquid was but was certain that Zheng-Fu couldn't possibly have anything valuable.

Many others shared the same thought. Everyone at the party was curious to see if the purple liquid was truly as special as Zheng-Fu claimed.

"Kid, I'm a high-ranking clan leader, not your playmate. What exactly is this purple liquid in the bottle? If you're lying, don't say I didn't warn you!" Even the Monster Liquor Clan Leader was skeptical.

"Sigh! I'm telling the truth. If you don't want it, throw it away. Let such a precious thing sink into the soil!" Zheng-Fu said wearily, tired of explaining how valuable the liquid was, so he told them to throw it away.

However, those from the Silver Body Clan knew exactly how potent the purple liquid was. They had already tasted its effects and were visibly distressed at the thought of the Monster Liquor Clan Leader discarding it, as Zheng-Fu had suggested.

"Monster Liquor Clan Leader, I think we can prove it. At least, we'll know whether this young man is telling the truth. If not, we can punish him," suggested the Flaming Dawn Clan Leader, trying to break the tension.

"Alright, I'll try it. But if this purple liquid isn't as good as you claim, kid, you can prepare for my punishment." Still doubting its quality, the Monster Liquor Clan Leader ordered a small jar of liquor to be brought over and prepared to pour the entire bottle of purple liquid into it.

But suddenly, Zheng-Fu called out, "Wait a minute, Monster Liquor Clan Leader!"

Huh...?

Zheng-Fu's interruption caused the Monster Liquor Clan Leader to pause, smirking as if expecting Zheng-Fu to backtrack on his claim.

"What is it, kid? Are you admitting that this purple liquid is just some nonsense you created to fool us all?" asked the Monster Liquor Clan Leader disdainfully.

"Not at all. I called you because I want to tell you that just one drop will suffice. Pouring the entire bottle would be a waste," Zheng-Fu replied, smiling innocently, as though nothing had happened.

Hah!!!

The faces of the Monster Liquor Clan Leader and the others changed when they heard Zheng-Fu's words. None of them had expected him to say something like that. Instead of denying the liquid's authenticity, he joked about it.

"Huh! You're so cocky! Fine, I'll use just one drop," said the Monster Liquor Clan Leader. He then dropped a single drop of the purple liquid, as Zheng-Fu had instructed, into a small jar of Dream-Creating Monster Liquor, separated from the larger jar.

A single drop of purple liquid fell into the hundred-year-old Dream-Creating Monster Liquor jar, blending together swiftly in the blink of an eye. From the moment the cap of the bottle containing the purple liquid was opened until it dripped into the liquor jar, no special phenomenon occurred...

Everyone who had been eagerly waiting to see if anything extraordinary would happen after the drop of purple liquid was added displayed looks of disappointment when they saw nothing. They all turned their eyes toward Zheng-Fu, seemingly seeking an explanation, but Zheng-Fu said nothing, merely raising an eyebrow and shrugging his shoulders.

Bwah hah hah!!!

"Do you see? I told you all this kid was bluffing! That purple liquid is nothing special. Look, nothing happened after it was added!" the Frenzy Lion Clan Leader exclaimed, seizing the moment to mock Zheng-Fu.

"Frenzy Lion Clan Leader, how do you know nothing happened? Have you tasted the liquor to be so sure?" Zheng-Fu countered, showing no respect.

"You!!!"

"That's right. You haven't tasted the liquor, yet you claim nothing happened. Isn't that slander?" Luo-Qing's voice rang out, her charming smile drawing everyone's attention.

"How dare you... Huh... Fou... Fourteenth... Fourteenth Princess!?" The Frenzy Lion Clan Leader's demeanor changed immediately upon realizing who had spoken in defense of Zheng-Fu.

"Monster Liquor Clan Leader, the liquid has already blended with the liquor. There may not be any visible phenomena, but I assure you, the liquor in that jar will be far superior to the others," Zheng-Fu said, ignoring the Frenzy Lion Clan Leader and addressing the Monster Liquor Clan Leader directly.

"You're so arrogant. My Dream-Creating Monster Liquor is already incredible. Are you saying that just one drop of this purple liquid could change its taste so drastically? What guarantee do you have?" Nevertheless, the Monster Liquor Clan Leader still refused to believe Zheng-Fu and asked him what guarantee he had that it would be better than the liquor in the other jars...

Woooooosh!!!

Thump!!!

"This is a high-level Divine Emperor stage spelled talisman, engraved with a Demon Shield Spell. It can defend against a Divine King stage martial master's attack up to three times. If I'm lying, you can take it. But if I'm telling the truth, your Monster Liquor Clan must give me fifty large jars of hundred-year-old liquor as compensation for insulting my magical item!"

Zheng-Fu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but clear enough for everyone to hear about the bet this time, as well as what item he had taken out as collateral for this wager...

"The Divine Emperor stage spelled talisman!!?"

"Damn! That's a rare item."

"How does this kid have something like that!?"

"Or is it a fake, just like the purple liquid?"

After Zheng-Fu's words ended, the crowd buzzed with speculation, unsure whether Zheng-Fu's talisman was real.

Huh...?

"Th... This spelled talisman!!?" All the clan leaders nearby gasped in shock simultaneously, as they could sense the dense and powerful energy emanating from the talisman in front of them, and they knew that this talisman was undoubtedly genuine...

Even Dan-Ge furrowed his brows in surprise and curiosity. As the one at the highest position in this place, he was fully aware of how strong and high-level the magic engraved on the talisman was. The aura it emitted was far from ordinary, and even he felt a chill as he gazed at it...
