Chapter 421: Chapter 419: Life and Death Game
Sally returned to the Wanqing Inn.
The innkeeper looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
Sally surveyed the inn, “Such a fine inn, in a great location with good business, truly a pity.”
“What, what’s a pity?” The innkeeper asked nervously.
Sally replied, “Innkeeper, I’m really sorry. I’m someone under the influence of the Evil Divine Beast Ya Zai, who doesn’t need a reason to create trouble. And if you provoke me, it’s bad luck for eight generations.”
“Xiaomei, let’s get to work.” Sally said to Xiaomei.
Apart from the regular guests, the entire inn, including all staff members suspected of kidnapping her, was sliced into chunks by Xiaomei’s Lightthread Weapon!
Screams of terror and agony filled the entire street in an instant and eventually spread throughout Divine King City!
Sally continued her search for the drinker who kidnapped her and sold her off.
The Hongyun Underground Casino.
The drinker was a regular at the casino and had quickly lost all the Superior Divine Crystals he got from selling Sally. He even ended up owing a lot.
Sally wore a mask and a hat, and with chips representing Divine Crystals, she approached the table where the drinker sat.
To prevent cheating with Divine Power, each gambling table was made of Mustard Seed Stone, able to precisely lock down any use of Divine Power. If detected, casino staff would come and catch the cheater, with chopping off hands as the lightest punishment.
Therefore, no one dared to cheat with Divine Power in this casino.
“What if they could detect magical power?”
“Xiaomei mimicked some magic power data, and spiritual power too; neither would trigger the Mustard Seed Stone.”
“Then shall we make a little money to spend?” At Divine Monarch You Hao’s residence, the Lower-grade Divine Crystals she earned had already been spent.
While the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could also be exchanged for Divine Crystals, that required an additional step, not as direct as simply collecting some from the casino.
“Sure.” Xiaomei was also very interested in the casino’s data.
Sally originally just wanted to look around, but in the end, Xiaomei advised her to play each game mode briefly.
Sally, who had thought she was unlucky and wanted to cheat to make money, found that her luck was quite good, managing to earn a small amount of Divine Crystals along the way.
However, she only skimmed each game after getting the data, never going for the big win, so as not to attract attention.
In the end, she arrived at the drinker’s table with ten chips that represented one hundred Superior Divine Crystals.
The drinker did not recognize Sally; he even thought she’d already become a meal in Uncle Guanzi’s mouth.
“I seem to have fate with this Divine Brother, how about we make a big bet, one thousand Superior Divine Crystals?” Sally challenged the drinker, her voice roughened as a disguise.
Seeing those ten chips, the drinker’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
“He has no chips left, how about I bet with you instead?” Another gambler grabbed a handful of chips from his box.
Sally glanced at him, tall and slender with black hair and eyes, and a very ordinary face; however, she was certain he had changed his appearance.
“Sorry, I have no fate with you.” Sally continued to the drinker, “Well, are you in?”
“What’s the game?” The drinker finally couldn’t resist the temptation of Divine Crystals.
Sally called the casino’s croupier, “Someone come over.”
Instantly, a croupier wearing a distinctive black and white outfit, topped with a red pillbox hat, came over.
“What are the Goddess’s instructions?”
“A life and death round.”
“Very well, Goddess.”
To the croupier of the casino, no type of bet was new, and he was unfazed, immediately ordering people to prepare the gambling equipment.
Sally looked at the drinker opposite her, “One round to decide win or lose. If I lose, I’ll pay with Divine Crystals, and all of these will be yours. If you lose, you pay… with your life! Do you dare?”
“In a round of life and death, naturally, if you lose, you will not only pay with Divine Crystals, but also owe me your life. Heh heh~” The drinker smiled maliciously.
“Done!” Sally readily agreed.
She was afraid he wouldn’t take the bait.
The life and death round was very simple.
Two cards, one for life and one for death.
The one who draws life wins, the one who draws death loses.
Sally, trusting her intuition, chose one card and flung it onto the gambling table without a glance—a verdant green—’Alive!’
As for the other card, there was no need to look further… it certainly meant ‘Dead.’
The patron’s face was one of disbelief, “No, it absolutely can’t be!”
The croupier invited the patron to turn over the other card.
Trembling, the patron, fixated on Sally’s ‘Alive’ character, flipped over his card…
A blood-red—’Dead!’
The patron’s face turned ashen!
“A bet is a bet, how does the winner wish the loser to die? Our casino will take a ten percent commission to help the winner cleanly resolve all troubles.”
“Fine,” Sally tossed a chip to the croupier.
The croupier smiled as he accepted it.
Instantly, two black-clad, masked figures appeared.
Not until he was bound by the Divine Shackles did the patron come to his senses—he’d been set up! This goddess entered the casino specifically for him!
“Who are you?!”
Sally removed her hat and mask, revealing a seductively beautiful face, her voice shedding its disguise, “Who do you think I am?”
The patron stared in shock, “It’s you! Impossible! You were clearly already… mmm~”
Sally raised her hand with a Silence Amulet and placed it on his mouth, then said to the croupier, “Trouble you, I don’t want him to utter another word!”
“Rest assured, goddess. Take him away,” the croupier instructed the masked figures.
In the hands of the masked figures, the patron was powerless to resist, bagged with a black hood, and dragged away.
Sally collected the chips and prepared to leave as well.
She was not worried that the casino wouldn’t honor the deal—the more such businesses, the more they value honor.
While exchanging for Divine Crystals, the patron who wanted to bet against her approached, “Goddess, you’re really lucky.”
Sally smiled, “Just so-so, first time in the casino today.”
The gambler was taken aback, then said with a smile, “Are you interested in going somewhere where luck is even more of a necessity?”
“Where?” Sally asked casually.
The casino exchanged her chips for nine hundred superior Divine Crystals.

Sally slipped them into her Storage Bag.
“Meet in the Ancient Divine Temple in three days,” the man suddenly received a Sound Transmission Talisman and hurriedly left.
Sally chuckled, “I didn’t agree to that.”
After leaving the casino, Sally discovered that Divine King City was locked down.
Entry allowed, but no exit.
Another person came out of the casino, the very croupier who had arranged the life-and-death match for Sally.
Seeing Sally had not yet left, he inquired professionally, “Does the goddess have any other instructions?”
Sally took out a superior Divine Crystal and gave it to him, “If I need to leave Divine King City immediately, given the current circumstances, what should I do?”
“Goddess, you’ve asked the right person, this way please,” the croupier led Sally towards an establishment across from the casino.
“How should I address the goddess? My humble name is Lu Xiaozhan.”
“Surname Su.”
“Then, may I take the liberty of calling you Sister Su?”
“Whatever you please.”
“Please come in, to my own inn.”
Sally sized up the inn, which was filled with gamblers looking to drink away their fatigue after their wins and losses.
“Go to the back courtyard,” Lu Xiaozhan led Sally through the main hall of the inn, past a small door, and into the backyard.
Several country bumpkins were shoveling food into their mouths with gusto; seeing Lu Xiaozhan leading a goddess with stunning looks and an air of subdued elegance, they all instinctively stopped their meal mid-bite.
