Starting With 100 Million Lives

The crowd initially thought it was outrageous for Qiu Yuxuan to become an Immortal Official with such grand specifications.

Daoist Venerables personally descended to welcome her, and several Supremes came to greet her.

They had never seen such treatment before!

Now they feel, it depends on who you compare it to.

If compared to Jiang Cheng...

His appointment as an Immortal Official was met by the Celestial Palace sending a Divine Monarch to ’welcome’ him.

Unprecedented!

"Ah, what a pity!"

Brother Cheng gave Miss Qiu’s slender fragrant shoulder a teasing pat.

"We’re going up today, and you have to start the journey with me again."

"Someone’s desire to be superior to me seems to be doomed!"

According to Qiu Yuxuan’s original idea, today would be the last day she’d serve as a maid.

From now on, she’d be a lofty Immortal Official.

Living in the Celestial Palace.

While Jiang Cheng could only look up at her from below.

No matter the gamble.

Face-to-face meeting would be impossible, and he wouldn’t even have the privilege to converse with her.

The wager between the master and the maid would naturally be void.

Unexpectedly... Jiang Cheng was also going up.

"You said you’d be a maid for life, you can’t escape the palm of my hand..."

Listening to his cocky words, Qiu Yuxuan wanted to accuse the heavens of unfairness.

Why does such scum always have an edge over her?

Could this truly be Celestial Fate?

She didn’t believe it!

Nor would she accept it!

Brother Cheng had no idea that from this moment on, Qiu Yuxuan would see him as a lifelong ’nemesis’.

"You will regret this."

She spoke with utmost seriousness.

"I’ve heard this eight hundred times, when will you surprise me?"

Jiang Cheng didn’t take it seriously.

King Shi was about to urge them to set out, but this brother waved him off.

"No hurry, there’s still some unfinished business."

King Shi frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What are you up to again?"

Jiang Cheng leisurely strolled up to Yaolang Daoist Venerable, smiling slyly as he rubbed his fingers.

"No need for me to push, right?"

Yaolang Daoist Venerable didn’t dare kill him now, and probably never would.

Though she couldn’t understand why, she didn’t dare defy King Shi’s intentions.

Thus, she lost the earlier bet.

By the agreement, having lost, she must hand over all her treasures and resources.

How could she bear it?

She had tens of thousands of bottles of Sixth-grade Emperor Pills alone with her, not to mention innumerable Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

All painstakingly accumulated over many years.

Though these weren’t all her assets, and many were not carried with her, it was half!

Surrendering all would break her spirit.

"You should know, leave some room for tomorrow’s meeting..."

She wasn’t like Qiu Yuxuan, in unison with her Daoist Heart and the Heavenly Dao, acting as she preached.

The first thought of the grand Daoist Venerable was to renege and refuse compensation.

Brother Cheng chuckled.

"So you won’t accept losing, trying to welsh on the bet?"

Yaolang Daoist Venerable gritted her teeth, her expression somewhat ferocious.

"So what if I am?"

"I just won’t give it, what can you do?"

"Alas!"

Brother Cheng sighed and turned to King Shi.

"Looks like today isn’t a good day for going up, the Celestial Palace is so shady, I need to reconsider..."

King Shi almost laughed in exasperation.

For heaven’s sake, was he really coercing me into standing up for him?

But now Jiang Cheng was indeed crucial to the Celestial Palace.

Though he didn’t know the gamble details, it was clear Yaolang Daoist Venerable wanted to play dirty.

Being seen by so many, she was losing too much face.

"What are you pulling?"

He glared at Yaolang Daoist Venerable, impatiently scolding.

"Didn’t you hear the phrase ’accept losing and comply’?"

"Can you bear the consequences for disrupting my affairs?"

Seeing Yaolang Daoist Venerable still unwilling and distressed, his killing intent arose.

"Do you wish to lose without dignity?"

"Do you want me to personally assist?"

Feeling King Shi’s impatient battle spirit, Yaolang Daoist Venerable panicked.

"No, no, I didn’t mean that, I agree..."

Should she refuse to fulfill the wager, King Shi’s attack might come next.

Then, not only her possessions would be lost, her reputation obliterated, and even half her life might be forfeit.

Ultimately, amidst King Shi’s watchful eye, she surrendered all her portable resources to Jiang Cheng.

Looking at the mountain-like Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, nearly everyone nearby held their breath.

Ji Cang and Venerable Xi Wu’s eyes reddened, it was an unimaginable quantity to them!

The foundation of a Daoist Venerable was truly beyond imagination.

Even King Shi couldn’t help but twitch.

So many treasures handed to Jiang Cheng just like that, wasn’t it too rash?

After handing over all portable treasures and resources, Yaolang Daoist Venerable’s face completely fell.

Her gaze at Jiang Cheng resembled that of a desperate beast.

Yet, Brother Cheng felt nothing.

He glanced at the duster in Yaolang Daoist Venerable’s hand and beckoned again.

"Ahem, your weapon and armor count as portable treasures, right?"

"You! Don’t go too far!"

Yaolang Daoist Venerable was furious, nearly going berserk on the spot.

The duster she carried was a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, acquired over countless eons as a handy weapon.

How could she willingly surrender it?

Her portable Dao Armor was likewise Tier Seven, top-tier.

Even King Shi couldn’t help but advise Jiang Cheng: "Better stop while you’re ahead..."

Brother Cheng’s head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, I’m fulfilling the wager, acting per rules!"

"Doesn’t the Celestial Palace uphold rules above all?"

"It’s stated as such, if it’s missing anything, wouldn’t it be violating the agreement?"

"I’m considering her reputation!"

He cast a significant glance at King Shi: "Do you prefer I treat the wager frivolously?"

Implied meaning, indeed!

King Shi inevitably thought of the great wager with the Evil Immortal Realm.

Of course, he didn’t want Jiang Cheng disregarding the wager.

Thus, his stance immediately shifted.

"Hand it all over!"

He extended a hand toward Yaolang Daoist Venerable.

"Older as you are, can’t afford to lose, in what semblance does that seem?"

Yaolang Daoist Venerable nearly wished to spray his face with anger.

Have the courage to hand over your own weapon and armor!

That’s the cornerstone of living!

Considering the vast power and status difference, she could only swallow the bitterness.

In the end, she handed over the duster and Dao Armor with a blank face.

Brother Cheng could detect her hateful gaze; not only was he unworried, he was anticipating.

Come seek revenge next time!

And bring some spoils of war.

Good luck!

Receiving the Tier Seven duster and Dao Armor, Brother Cheng grinned from ear to ear.

Though it wasn’t his usual sword, exchanging it for Immortal Yuan Points would be excellent!

Beside him, Qiu Yuxuan was unbalanced!

She possessed a Tier Seven Dao Sword.

A special reward obtained after clearing the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm.
