Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 356 Ming Xin's Bet

Mingxin watched Gu Liuxin with a confident look, which made Lu Yu worried.

Gu Liuxin truly lived up to being the most talented disciple of the Medicine King Valley. Every time he made a move, it was a perfect alchemy.

Even if Lu Yu also achieved a perfect alchemy, he would still be judged as losing, since Gu Liuxin finished first with the same result.

This was a situation where he was bound to lose.

"A situation where he is bound to lose? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Thinking of the word "bound to lose," Mingxin suddenly remembered that a few days ago, it seemed like she was in a similar situation when she competed with Lu Yu.

Almost every time, it was a situation where she was bound to lose, but Lu Yu managed to turn the tables with the help of the companion pill.

These two situations were so similar!

"Hehe, you're all celebrating too early."

Thinking of this, her mood inexplicably improved.

After all, she had become familiar with him over the past few days and had a clear understanding of his strength.

Even if he wasn't familiar with the method of refining the Diamond Pill, he wouldn't be able to daydream halfway through.

The only explanation was that he was thinking about how to perfectly integrate the companion pill into other Diamond Pills.

"Young girl, do you really think he can win? Junior Brother Six has already achieved a perfect alchemy. This is an unbeatable situation."

"Young girl, you're too young. Perhaps you don't even know what a perfect alchemy is."

"Hehe..."

Faced with the inexplicable confidence of these Medicine King Valley disciples, Mingxin could only respond with a cold laugh.

She also thought she was bound to win at first, but in the end, didn't she lose even to herself?

"Oh, I've got it!"

Thinking that she had lost to Lu Yu, she suddenly had an idea.

"Hmph, never mind if you don't believe me. I just think Lu Yu can win!"

Mingxin's eyes turned, and she raised her head proudly.

The several disciples of the Medicine King Valley all showed disdainful expressions.

The facts were right in front of them, yet she still insisted?

"Never mind, let's not argue with this young girl. We, the Medicine King Valley, should have grace."

"Haha, yes, we should have grace. After all, Junior Brother Six is guaranteed to win."

"Wait, why are you so sure he can win? What if he loses?"

Mingxin asked defiantly.

"If he loses? What will you do, young girl?"

Gu Si looked at Mingxin, who seemed inexperienced, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

The other senior brothers immediately understood his expression.

He had fallen into his old habit of gambling again.

Among the senior brothers, if anyone had the strongest alchemy skills, it would undoubtedly be Gu Liuxin. But if anyone had the biggest gambling habit, it would definitely be Gu Si.

He liked to gamble even when refining pills. He would place a pair of dice next to him and play with himself during his free time.

The only thing that interested him was gambling. Refining pills didn't even rank.

"If I lose? Hmph, if I lose, I'll serve you tea and pour water like a maid!"

Mingxin stubbornly declared.

As she spoke, she kept praying silently, hoping that Lu Yu wouldn't mess up this time.

If he lost, she would have to serve him like a maid.

That would be much worse than being cultivation partners!

"Oh, Fourth Junior Brother, you're quite lucky."

"Hehe, Fourth Senior Brother, what if I take your place in the bet?"

The senior brothers of the Medicine King Valley all laughed upon hearing Mingxin's words.

It was obvious that they were in a winning situation. What's the difference between this and taking advantage of someone?

"This girl, don't gamble with them. Your man is destined to lose."

Ling Tianqing could see clearly from the side that these people from the Medicine King Valley were just taking advantage of the young girl's ignorance.

He had good intentions, but Mingxin didn't appreciate it at all.

"Who said he's destined to lose? If I dare to gamble, it proves that I have confidence in him."

"But refining pills is not just about confidence."

Ling Tianqing wanted to advise her again, but the disciples of the Medicine King Valley started to make a commotion.

"I'll gamble with you! If you lose, you'll be my maid, and if I lose, I'll be your medicine boy, is that okay?"

"Ugh, I don't want an ugly medicine boy like you. If you lose, you have to give me two Heaven Grade herbs, do you dare?"

Mingxin didn't want a medicine boy. Gu Si from the Medicine King Valley was the ugliest among his senior brothers.

Although he wasn't hideous, he definitely didn't meet the aesthetic standards of most women.

Besides, her original goal was to obtain some valuable items, like Heaven Grade herbs, which were considered top-tier medicinal herbs.

The Medicine King Valley had its own medicinal fields, so it wouldn't be difficult to obtain a few Heavenly Tier herbs.

"Alright, I happen to have the authority to pick two Heavenly Heart Grass, which is the main ingredient for refining the Heavenly Heart Pill. If I lose, I'll give you these two herbs!"

"Haha, Fourth Senior Brother, you're really going all out. If Master finds out that you've given away these two herbs, he'll skin you alive."

"How could I lose? Once I have this beautiful little maid, I can borrow her for a while, right?"

"Get lost! I haven't even used her yet, all of you get in line!"

These people had no doubt that Lu Yu had no chance of winning, so they kept mocking Mingxin.

A faint smile appeared on Mingxin's lips, then she put on a fierce expression.

"You're going too far! Is this bet set in stone? Referee, referee... Is it against the rules to have a bet like this?"

To settle this matter, Mingxin even found a referee for the competition.

In fact, this kind of thing had happened before.

Everyone was bored and started betting, and the referee enjoyed watching the excitement.

"It's fine, we can be witnesses too."

"Alright. Let's bet on whether Lu Yu can win this match! If he wins, Gu Si will give me two Heavenly Heart Grass. If he loses, I'll be Gu Si's maid for the rest of my life!"

"Um... Have you thought this through, little girl?"

The referee didn't expect this little girl to make such a big bet.

She was directly putting herself at a disadvantage? How could Lu Yu have any chance of winning now?

Was there still a hidden card up her sleeve?

If not, then this little girl seemed impulsive...

"I've thought it through, it's settled! Hmph, let's see how you prepare to bring out the herbs!"

Mingxin put on a fierce appearance, but in the eyes of these people from the Medicine King Valley, she was just pretending to be tough.

Clearly, this was a situation where she was bound to lose...

After the bet was settled, Gu Si and the others returned to their seats.

He took out two dice and gently threw them, catching them and secretly divining his fortune.

"Four, four, three, big, the main test is great misfortune... Damn, could it be that I'm going to lose?"

He was shocked to see the divination revealed by the dice.

According to the divination, he was destined to lose.

Now he was feeling a bit uneasy.

Although he wasn't the best at divination, he dared to say that he had never been wrong.

At least not to such an extent.

Even if it was just a close call, it was still a bad omen. It couldn't possibly be a great fortune, right?

Could things turn around for the better? He didn't believe there was a chance for such a reversal of fate.

For a moment, he was also conflicted, and his gaze fell on Lu Yu, who was focused on refining pills on the martial arts stage.
