Painting of the Nine Immortals-Chapter 946 - The Fat Man’s Sadness

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

“Son of a b!tch! My spiritual stones!”

A cry similar to a pig being slaughtered astounded the entire gambling ground.

The fat man struggled to find his footing. His eyes were round as they stared straight ahead of him, fueled with anger and sadness. When he saw how his ticket was absorbed by the table behind Ling Xian’s name, his sadness multiplied.

Then, a series of pig-slaughtering cries arose.

“Son of b!!!!!!tch! My spiritual stones!”

“That was my entire life’s saving! I sold my ancestor’s land to get that two million spiritual stones!”

“I am going to kill myself! That was all my money!”

The fat man continued to cry in agony. His hands slammed into the round table again and again. Mucus and tears dripped down his face out of sadness.

He originally wiped out his entire wealth to bet on Le Wu Ya in hopes of getting rich. Sadly, he slipped and ended up placing all his hope on Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t he be furious?

What made him cry so tearlessly was that he’s never even heard of Ling Xian’s name!

There wasn’t even a biography for him and there wasn’t a single spiritual stone that was on his name. What did that mean?

It meant nobody saw highly of Ling Xian. He had mistakenly bet 2 million spiritual stones on Ling Xian. This enraged him!

His heart-wrenching cries caught everyone’s attention.

After they saw the 2 million spiritual stones behind Ling Xian’s name, they all realized what happened. They then began to discuss this matter as if it was hilarious.

“Haha, he ended up placing a bet on that person. No wonder the fatty is so upset.”

“This is far too funny. There isn’t a single spiritual stone placed on this guy named Ling Xian. Suddenly, 2 million spiritual stones are on him.”

“The fatty sure has bad luck. I don’t believe he wanted to bet on Ling Xian.

One man laughed. “Fatty, tell us, who were you planning on betting on?”

“Is that even a question? Of course the number one on the Heaven’s Favorite Monument – Le Wu Ya.”

The fat man cried tearlessly. “But I somehow placed my bet on this person called Ling Xian. Have you heard of this person?”

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they’ve never heard of this name.

That was normal. Though Ling Xian had done a few big things, they were either limited to the Eastern Domain or he has never left his name.

Therefore, very few people knew of him. Coincidentally, nobody there has heard of his name.

“Son of a b!tch! All of my spiritual stones are gone just like that?”

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, the fatty was now furious. He thought the 2 million spiritual stones he did everything to get will soon drop down into the ocean without even creating a wave.

“Haha, don’t be so negative. Perhaps this Ling Xian person will surprise you!”

A man laughed brightly and said in a mocking tone.

This sarcastic statement made everyone laugh.

What a joke.

Though Ling Xian was part of the list to gamble on, there wasn’t even a biography for him. How will he win the number one spot?

What a joke, that was impossible!

At least everyone here thought so.

“Son of a b!tch! That was all of my wealth!”

The fatty continued to cry. His eyes were full of fury. He wanted to smash this table apart. Or more accurately, he wanted to erase Ling Xian’s name from it.

But he cannot do either.

There are rules with gambling grounds. Once decided, you cannot change your mind. Therefore, he was helpless and could only watch his two million spiritual stones float away.

“Two million spiritual stones, let me see.”

One man looked over to Ling Xian’s name and then laughed, “Your odds are 1:100. Fatty, this means if he wins, you will be a big winner. You will earn 100 times your original bid!”

“Bullsh!t!”

Fatty was extremely upset, “You don’t think I know? The higher the payback the less likely he is to win. The odds are definitely the lowest here, which means he is the least likely to win out of everyone here.”

Hearing this, everyone laughed and began to gossip.

“That’s not true. Maybe he is low key and when the time comes, he will surprise everyone!”

“Haha, I am telling you, you already made your bet. Le Wu Ya’s payback ratio is only 1:2. Even if he wins, you will only get back twice your bid. If that person wins, you will get 2 billion spiritual stones!”

“You better start praying that he will win. Even though that is something impossible, haha.”

Everyone chitchatted, not believing that Ling Xian could win and felt fatty’s misfortune was hilarious.

Fatty felt more and more furious. But he knew that there was no way to fix this now.

“Aye, unfortunate of me to slip.”

Fatty sighed and glared at Ling Xian’s name before leaving.

“There is enough of my sadness to form a river.”

…

The Palace of Heaven’s Favorites is located in an extremely north part of the Central Grassland. It is a suspending palace that looked extremely powerful and profound.

Below the palace, countless people gathered. The high population made it very clamorous.

Today the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites will activate.

All eyes fixated on the Palace with passion. Especially those who came to participate, they were full of high anticipation.

After around half an hour, the door suddenly swung open. At once, a ray of gold light draped down and surrounded everything within a hundred miles.

“The Palace of Heaven’s Favorites has activated. Those who are less than 100 years old and are above the original level are allowed to enter!”

A grand voice arose, loud like thunder and echoed throughout.

Three elders in white walked out of there, emitting a terrifying demeanor.

Then, the population boiled. Silhouette after silhouette flashed across the sky and headed to the entrance of the Palace.

The three elders exchanged glances.

These people all qualified to enter.

Many people tried to sneak in by being a part of this messy situation. Sadly, the moment these people got near the elders, they were slammed away by fists.

Everyone felt cold at this. They didn’t realize the three elders would have such good eyesight.

Therefore, all those who tried to get in without qualification all disappeared. Only the Heaven’s Favorites with the right to enter ended up entering.

After some time, all those who could enter had entered. Not many people remained below the palace.

At once, the leading elder nodded and asked loudly, “Anyone else wishes to enter?”

At once, the place silenced and nobody answered.

The activation of Heaven’s Favorites Palace was a big deal. Everyone arrived early to wait, who dared to be late? By now, everyone had entered.

“Very well, since nobody is responding, then we shall close the doors.”

The elder stroked his beard and turned around to close the doors.

Just then, apologetic and helpless laughter arose and traveled over from afar.

“I apologize, I am late. I wish for your understanding.”
