Hell Emperor.

Chapter 491: Profitable Immortal Official
"Ok?"

Seeing Ye Jie walking slowly and going straight to the front of the gambling table, with Shoufa, who held an important position in Wanshou City, following behind him, the Li Shi Xianguan's eyes were scattered and a bit careless, and he said with a sigh:
"Are you my next opponent? I hope you won't be like the others and lose all your life in one go."

"Then let me come and meet you."

Sensing the provocation in the eyes of the Immortal Official Li Shi, that look was like seeing a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, Ye Jie answered slowly, his heart quite calm.

Behind Ye Jie, Shoufa brought several dark yellow birthday flags. After careful counting, there were ten in total. He inserted them neatly in front of the gambling table, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said to Ye Jie:
“Palace Master Ye, each of these longevity flags contains 100 million years of life, totaling 1 billion years of life. This is the last life of the Wanshou Casino. If we lose it all, not only will the casino go bankrupt, but if the news gets out, even my master will lose face…”

Shoufa felt bitter in his heart. All the masters trained by the gambling house were defeated one by one by the Immortal Official of Profit. Now, he could only try his best and let Ye Jie go up and give it a try.

For a fairy like Wanshou Fairy who has been famous for a long time, face is undoubtedly more important than anything else. If the news that the Fairy Official Li Shi won the gambling house by himself spreads, where will she put her face?

"That's fine. I want to see what this so-called Lishi Immortal Official is capable of."

Ye Jie had an indifferent expression, his eyes also fell on the Li Shi Immortal Official opposite him. There were five longevity flags in front of his table, with a total lifespan of 500 million years. Currently, it was only half of his own, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

The Immortal Officer of Profit sneered, raised his index finger, and shook it at Ye Jie: "I am one of the gods of wealth appointed by the Heavenly Court. No one who has the ability to defeat me in gambling has been born yet. Don't say that I am bullying you. Choose a rule that you are good at. Whether it is playing chess or playing cards, you are no match for me."

Ye Jie was silent. Before this, all the masters in Wanshou Casino were defeated by the Immortal Official Li Shi. This was enough to show his ability. He indeed had strength in gambling that was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If you want to defeat the Immortal Official of Profit, following the rules will definitely not work. Leaving everything to fate is tantamount to admitting defeat. Only by taking shortcuts can you have a chance.

Ye Jie whispered a few words to Shoufa, who nodded and quickly brought what Ye Jie needed. There were not many things, just three bowls and a small black ball.

The Immortal Officer of Profit raised his eyebrows, and finally showed an interested look in his eyes: "Three Immortals Returning to the Cave? Interesting. The people in the gambling house only know how to tamper with the equipment, but I can see through it at a glance. It's really boring to play. This kind of game in the market is the first time I have seen it in such a long time."

Ye Jie nodded. If he wanted to beat the Li Shi Xian Guan, he had to find another way: "It seems you know the rules. I will put this small ball under one of the bowls, and then change its position. As long as you can accurately find the final position of the small ball, you win, otherwise I win. As for the bet... a longevity flag."

After saying that, Ye Jie threw a birthday flag towards the center of the gambling table.

One longevity flag means 100 million years of life. The stakes are huge. Even the people watching around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the previous gambling battle between the gambling master and the Immortal Official of Profit, the longest lifespan was only 20 million years. As soon as this person came on stage, he offered a lifespan of 100 million years as a bet. Such a high price made the people around him jealous. They all imagined that if they had such a long lifespan, they would be able to live until the end of the world. But now, this huge lifespan is just a chip on the gambling table.

"I took it."

The Immortal Official of Profit also threw out a longevity flag. With his action and with the witness of everyone, the gambling game was officially established.

Ye Jie took a deep breath and focused his attention on the black ball in his hand. Countless burning eyes fell on his hand, not only from the Li Shi Xianguan, but also from the people watching nearby. The gambling game between him and the Li Shi Xianguan had become the focus of the entire long street.

The power of the Divine Dragon Transformation began to operate, and Ye Jie's palms were blessed with the power of the Azure Dragon Claws. His movements were as fast as an afterimage, and everyone didn't even see what was happening. They saw that the three bowls that were just standing upright were now all turned upside down with a crisp bang, and even the black ball in Ye Jie's hand disappeared.

"So fast……"

"Did you see clearly? Which bowl did he put the ball in?"

"It should be the bowl in the middle, I'm sure of it!"

"What the hell, I saw it with my own eyes, he clearly put it in the bowl on the far right!"

At the very beginning, everyone's judgment was seriously divided. Those with low cultivation could not even see the movements of Ye Jie's hands clearly, and they did not react for a long time. Even many second and third-level immortals were the same. If they were put on the gambling table, they would probably be the first to be eliminated.

Soon, under Ye Jie's control, the inverted bowl began to change its position constantly, alternating vertically and horizontally. Each bowl left an endless afterimage, as if it had transformed into countless ones. The speed was so fast that even the immortals who were at the fourth or fifth level had a hard time following it.

This time, everyone's eyes towards Ye Jie changed. Being able to display such extreme speed was enough to show his cultivation and strength. If a real fight broke out, ninety-nine percent of the people nearby would probably not be his match.

The transformation lasted for a whole cup of tea. Even the immortals who were usually quite confident in their own strength showed exhaustion in their eyes when Ye Jie stopped. Many of them had already given up halfway and could only sigh that they were inferior.

Even Shoufa couldn't keep up with Ye Jie's speed and lost him halfway. However, this did not make him frustrated, but made him even more excited.

"With Palace Master Ye's strength, maybe there really is a chance..." Shoufa raised his eyes, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Even he couldn't keep up, maybe the Immortal Official Li Shi would fall into the trap and lose the bet.

However, the calm expression of the Li Shi Immortal Official made Shoufa's eyes flicker. Facing Ye Jie who was showing amazing speed, the Li Shi Immortal Official always had a confident look on his face. The difficulties Ye Jie posed to him seemed nothing in his eyes.

Finally stopping, Ye Jie looked directly at the Li Shi Xianguan opposite him and asked slowly: "Tell me, which bowl is the ball in?"

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the answer from the Li Shi Xianguan, but he did not speak directly. Instead, he spoke:
"At first, you put the ball in the bowl on the right. Now, the bowl is in the middle."

Ye Jie's eyes changed slightly: "You mean, the ball is in the bowl in the middle? Are you sure?"

The Lishi Immortal Official waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that. Don't be in a hurry to open the bowl."

Ye Jie was not annoyed, and asked again: "Then you tell me, which bowl is the ball in? If you don't tell me, are you going to give up?" "The answer is none of them are in it." Li Shi Xianguan sneered, he had seen through Ye Jie's tricks, "What you just put in was not an ordinary wooden ball, but something like a pill. During your transformation, it has been refined through the bowl. Now, there is nothing in these three bowls... If you don't believe me, open it!"

The Immortal Officer of Profit slapped the gambling table, and a powerful immortal energy rushed out from under the table, forcibly pushing away the three bowls that Ye Jie was holding down. A scene that shocked the people around him happened, as the Immortal Officer of Profit said, there was nothing in the three bowls.

Ye Jie's pupils shrank. He pretended to use the Divine Dragon Transformation just to cover up the scent of the elixir in the refining bowl. If he just followed the upside-down bowl with his eyes, he would fall into his trap and completely lose the game.

However, all of this was seen through by the Immortal Official Li Shi. All of Ye Jie's actions were now in vain, and he even lost 100 million years of his life.

Now Ye Jie finally understood what Shoufa meant when he said that the Immortal Official of Profit would win every time he gambled. The reason he was able to defeat all the masters of Wanshou Casino was definitely not luck. It would not be so easy to defeat him.

After losing the first round, Ye Jie's eyes showed a bit of helplessness, and then he spoke, his words full of unwillingness to admit defeat: "You are lucky in this round, let's play again!"

The Li Shi Xianguan laughed: "No matter how many times you come, you can't beat me! I want to see how many birthday flags you can lose."

Seeing the Immortal Officer of Profit stretching out his hand and taking the two longevity flags in the center of the gambling table into his arms, Shoufa's face was full of heartache. However, he could not blame Palace Master Ye for this. He had even fooled him in the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave just now. If he had come, he would have been doomed to lose, but he failed to fool the Immortal Officer of Profit. This only showed that the Immortal Officer of Profit was too keen on his eyesight. It was not that easy to win the bet against the God of Wealth.

The Immortal Officer Li Shi crossed his arms and said calmly, "What shall we play next? You choose one."

Ye Jie thought for a while and said, "Let's count. We start from 'one' and count backwards. We take turns to count. We must count one or two numbers each time. We cannot skip a count. Whoever counts to one hundred first wins."

The Lishi Immortal Official pondered and said, "Okay...but I have to start counting first."

Ye Jie shook his head and refused: "No, I'm the dealer, I should start first."

Of course, the Lishi Immortal Official disagreed: "Do you think I'm stupid? Then you're sure to win, right? This is not a fair gamble. I cannot agree to it."

Hearing this, Ye Jie also felt a little helpless. In fact, there is a sure-fire way to win in gambling fights like this one. The Immortal Official Li Shi certainly understands this, and if someone wants to trick him in this way, he will not be easily fooled.

"In that case, let's have a beast fight. The gambling house will provide two monsters and let them fight each other. No one else is allowed to interfere with them using immortal energy or skills. I'll let you choose first, and the bet is a birthday flag. What do you think?" Ye Jie proposed again.

"It sounds fair. I accept it." Li Shi Xianguan touched his chin and agreed to the proposal.

The two men once again threw the longevity flag to the center of the gambling table. Soon, Shoufa brought two animal cages, each containing two snakes. One of them was smaller with black and white stripes all over its body, and the other was huge, with a body as thick as an arm, just like a giant dragon.

Shoufa introduced, "The one locked up over here is a silver ring snake, and the one over there is an anaconda. You are not allowed to use immortal essence or skills to interfere in the fight. Unless you are killed by the opponent, you will lose if you leave the fight area. Now please let the lucky immortal officer choose first."

Li Shi Xianguan carefully examined the two snakes. Compared with the huge anaconda, the Bungarus multicinctus looked like an immature baby. Although its venom was powerful, its fangs could hardly penetrate the thick skin of the anaconda. In addition, due to the size difference, it was likely to be strangled to death easily.

"The answer is obvious, I choose the silver ring snake." Li Shi Xianguan spoke slowly and made his own choice.

If an ordinary person made such a judgment, he would definitely choose the anaconda without hesitation. However, the Immortal Official Li Shi felt a subtle aura of Xuanwu from the body of the silver ring snake. It turned out that Xuanwu blood was flowing in its body. The original advantage of winning and losing was immediately reversed.

When the silver ring snake was chosen, the anaconda fell to Ye Jie. Ye Jie did not care about it. No matter what choice the Li Shi Immortal Official made, it made no difference to him.

Ye Jie doesn't care about the strength of his own monsters. Even if the monsters are weak, they can show extraordinary power after being modified by the eight-sided stitching pages.

The only stipulation in this gambling fight was that no interference with immortal essence or skills was allowed. In other words, there was no limit on the power of the magic weapon. Ye Jie's use of the eight-sided stitching page to modify the file was also in accordance with the rules.

"The beast fight begins!"

With Shoufa's order, the two snake cages opened with a bang. The two snakes, which had been hungry for a long time, found their prey, twisted their bodies, and slid towards each other.

"Even now... with the Dragon Transformation, I don't believe I can't defeat the Bungarus."

Ye Jie tightly grasped the eight-sided stitched pages, but his eyes were always on the two spirit snakes fighting in the field. At the same time, fresh ink continued to appear on the stitched pages.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the spring of the 640th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie spent 16,666,000 Yin De to modify the Anaconda's skills file.]

[The Divine Dragon Transformation (Wanhua) has been added to the column of skills learned by Anaconda. 】

As the words on the torn page fell, the anaconda that was constantly wriggling in the field suddenly changed its aura, and layers of snake skin continued to fall off, revealing a fascinating golden dragon pattern.

The sudden change in the anaconda's aura immediately stunned the people watching nearby. They could not imagine how the anaconda, which was just a mortal creature, could gain such terrifying power that was comparable to that of an immortal in an instant.

As the source of all this, Ye Jie also showed a look of relief. No matter how the Immortal Official of Profit wins every bet, there will always be unexpected situations. The Eight-Sided Sutured Page is Ye Jie's greatest reliance. The Immortal Official of Profit, who failed to anticipate this, finally revealed a flaw this time. It seems that he will suffer a heavy loss.

The power of the Divine Dragon Transformation manifested, and the anaconda's aura surged, like a crawling divine dragon, ready to devour all the enemies in front of it. In comparison, the silver ring snake could only shrink aside, trembling, not even daring to breathe. It seemed that the outcome of this beast fight had been decided.
