"Ninety-four thousand Bite Stones!"
Before the figure even arrived, the appraiser's voice had already carried over.
The instant he heard those words, Nie Qing's face turned deathly pale.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that, after holding such an overwhelming advantage at the start, he would actually lose to Gu Mengsheng.
"Ha ha ha! Well? I told you—taking the lead on a streak of luck means nothing. The one who laughs last is the true winner."
Gu Mengsheng approached with a proud expression, holding a Bite Stone that shimmered with hazy, rosy light.
"Well? If you refuse to accept it, you can inspect it yourself and see whether this Bite Stone is worth that price."
Gu Mengsheng spoke with absolute certainty, yet he made no move to hand the item over.
The appraisers in the stone gambling hall all acted on behalf of the City Lord. Questioning them was the same as openly provoking the City Lord's authority. Once someone did that, they could forget about making a living in End City in the future.
"A wager is a wager. The spiritual medicine is yours now."
A trace of desolation appeared on Nie Qing's face. The Twin-Leaf Soul-Returning Flower that his group had risked life and limb outside the city to gather had been lost just like that. He did not even know how he would face the others when he returned.
But he could not go back on his word and refuse to hand it over.

Seeing Nie Qing's defeated appearance, Ye Xiu felt a rare flicker of sympathy.
Through the keen divine soul
