Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Duan Xingchen was taken aback, then shook his head: "I want to, but I feel like I'm not suited for this..."

As expected of the Immaculate Saintess... Although this girl's thoughts were somewhat altered by the bet, she managed to suppress her desires in the end.

"Gambling is definitely not a good thing, and you're really not suited for it."

Yun Ping slowly stood up, holding his wine glass, and came to Duan Xingchen's side. "Make room for me."

Duan Xingchen nodded blankly, moved his small chair to the side, and gave his seat to Yun Ping.

Yunping didn't shy away from the seat where he had lost a lot of chips. He casually sat down, playing with the chip in his hand, and said indifferently, "I have an apprentice who is also addicted to gambling. Moreover, he is a guy who always loses when he gambles. Honestly, I have advised him many times, but this kid still can't change his ways."

"So, when it comes to gambling, just stop when you're safe. Little Light Bulb, remember to avoid this stuff when you're out and about."

"……Um."

Duan Xingchen blinked and nodded obediently.

Then it dawned on me, wait a minute, who is this person in front of me? Why does she look like a lecturing teacher?

While I was thinking, the skinny boss's highly targeted words came over again.

Are you still going to gamble or not?

“Let’s gamble.” Yunping toyed with the chip in his hand, his gaze wandering over the gambling table. “But now it’s my turn to gamble. I don’t want that big, chubby girl next to me to get involved in gambling.”

"Then place your bet, and don't say another word."

The skinny boss was clearly unwilling to talk to Yunping any further, and his tone was quite cold.

Yunping chuckled at the skinny boss's indifferent attitude, completely ignoring the boss's deliberately hostile gaze. Instead, he held his wine glass in one hand and played with his chips in the other, appearing completely nonchalant.

This posture inevitably reminded the demon girl sitting diagonally opposite her of someone.

A man who haunts her dreams.

"Boss, why are you targeting me like this? Whether it's the hundred chips from before or your cold attitude towards me, what did I do to make you hate me so much?"

"Heh." A cold laugh came from the skinny boss's mouth: "Don't you have any idea what you've done?"

"What's past is past, why dwell on it so much? Is time really that important to you?"

"Enough talk, place your bets."

The skinny boss clearly didn't want Yun Ping to continue bringing up the past. After saying those words, he put his hands behind his back and looked away from Yun Ping.

This means I'm too lazy to talk to Yunping anymore.

The old rogue himself was also helpless about this, and he no longer mentioned what happened back then, instead turning his attention to the gambling table.

He only had one chip in his hand, although he still had a lot of Pure World Ginseng—because he had moved all the ginseng fruit trees—but he had no intention of continuing to use Pure World Ginseng as a bet.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he silently pushed his last chip towards the one that symbolized the impossible—

The leopard, thirty-six points.

Still betting on the big leopard?!

Now, not only Duan Xingchen, Ye Yuchan, and the demon girl, but even the skinny boss's expression changed.

"Are you really that confident?"

Yunping smiled and said, "It's just a big leopard. It didn't come out just now because I was unlucky. Now that I'm sitting at the gambling table, I believe luck will be on my side."

The skinny boss's expression hardened slightly, and his tone became unusually deep: "Do you really think your good luck will work at my gambling table?"

"If it's just one chip, it might not be enough."

Yunping rubbed his chin. He knew how formidable the Fat and Thin Casino was, and he also knew that his almost unreasonable luck might not be enough to win the terrifyingly low probability of 36 points.

but--

"Then let's raise the stakes." Yunping put the wine glass into his storage ring, his expression gradually becoming serious: "If the stakes are a bit higher, and we bet on something more exciting, maybe Lady Luck will smile on me a little."

The skinny boss seemed to sense something, his brow furrowing: "What do you want to add?"

Yunping didn't summon his storage ring or take out any magical artifacts; he simply pointed to his own punchable face.

"An extra life."

"My life."

23. Sorry, but those with exceptional luck can do whatever they want.

Gambling with your life.

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

This silence lasted for a long time, because no one could have imagined that Yunping would suddenly add such a bet.

If he had only added a few Pure World Ginseng roots, or even brought out the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the people in the room would at most have been startled, and then begin to speculate and doubt the identity of this mysterious young man in white.

But things are different now.

The way they looked at Yunping was like the way they looked at a madman.

Are there few people who gamble with their lives?

Quite a lot.

In the Fat and Thin Casino, life is the gambler's last chip. In other casinos, you might not be able to gamble with your life, but here you can use your soul to exchange for one last chance to turn the tide.

For example, the human cultivator who tried to escape but had his soul extracted.

Some of them lost, but some of them really won.

Because the value of a soul is extremely high, a dramatic comeback has been staged several times in the Fat and Thin Casino, with each instance resulting in a huge profit.

The problem is that people will only risk their lives for this last chance to turn things around if they are facing dire straits or have run out of capital.

Where is Yunping?

With the precepts in place and the ginseng for purifying the world still around, no one would believe that he has nothing left to offer.

In other words, he clearly had other things he could use as collateral, so why would he risk his life?

"You old scoundrel, are you serious?!"

Ye Yuchan immediately grabbed Yunping's sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and deep worry, her delicate body trembling almost imperceptibly as she sat in her wheelchair.

She simply couldn't believe that Yunping, that old scoundrel, would risk his life so easily!

If she loses, what will she do?!

"Teacher, please don't make such a bad joke at a time like this, right?"

Zhang Ruoxue also swallowed hard and cautiously reminded him.

After pondering for a while, Duan Xingchen whispered, "Didn't you just say gambling is a bad thing? How come you're betting so much now..."

Yunping noticed the surprise and worry shown by the three girls.

He casually spread his hands, but his gaze remained fixed on the dazed, thin boss directly in front of him. Looking at the face that was shocked by him, Yun Ping smiled meaningfully.

He didn't seem to have any intention of changing his mind: "Gambling is just for fun, and I don't think I'm betting that much."

"You've already risked your life, and you still say it's not a big deal?!" Ye Yuchan gripped Yun Ping's hand tightly, her face full of reluctance, a hint of fear lurking in her voice: "Don't gamble like that, you old rogue..."

Yunping was taken aback, then turned around and met Ye Yuchan's dark, night-like eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to see something, but quickly shook his head, temporarily putting aside those troublesome thoughts.

He reverted to his usual carefree, roguish demeanor, slightly raised his hand, ruffled Xiaoyuchan's hair, and chuckled, "If it's a bet that's guaranteed to win, then no matter what chips I bet, it won't be too big, right?"

"Because I have no reason to lose."

"But you..." Ye Yuchan was getting anxious, her heart pounding, "but the probability of the big leopard appearing is too small!"

"Don't worry~ I'm your teacher."

Yunping pinched Ye Yuchan's little face, then straightened his posture and revealed a smile that showed he was certain he would not lose.

Their gazes met in mid-air with the thin boss's gloomy and complex eyes.

"So, boss, how much is my life worth?"

Speechless.

Yes, the skinny boss didn't reply immediately.

A few seconds later, an almost ferocious smile appeared on his lips. It was as if the thing he had longed for for millions of years had finally appeared before him, and his eyes overflowed with endless coldness and excitement.

boom!

Her slender hands pressed on the gambling table, her eyes fixed on the young man in white in front of her, her voice hoarse as if she had something in her throat.

"In my eyes, your life is worth at most a single chip!"

"One?" Yun Ping laughed heartily, looking at the skinny shopkeeper who had uttered those words with a hint of sarcasm: "Fine! One it is!"

With a smile, Yun Ping pinched the last chip and tossed it forward, which landed right above the words "Big Leopard".

On the silent gambling table, apart from the sound of chips hitting the ground, only the young man's calm words could be heard.

"I'm betting my life, plus this last chip, on the big three."

—He really went all in!

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue both felt a tremor in their hearts. They subconsciously wanted to speak up and persuade them, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they found that their throats and souls seemed to be locked by some mysterious force.

The source of that power wasn't the old rogue...

Instead, it was the slender boss who wore a black fitted top.

"I'll bet with you this time."

The skinny boss casually waved his hand, and a wooden chair immediately appeared behind him. He slowly sat down.

The demon girl and the human female cultivator around them, as well as everyone at the gambling table except Yun Ping and the skinny boss, seemed to be frozen in time, unable to move.

Unable to speak, unable to move, only able to breathe, only able to gaze.

This is their current situation.

The person responsible for this situation was the owner of the casino.

Why not let them participate in this betting?
