Chapter 831: Bet On Your Future!
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Seeing each other once again, Shi Yan didn’t know what to say.
After they parted in the Glorious Amethyst Star, Zi Yao came to the Dark Firmament Star while Shi Yan went to the Purgatory Star to join the Extreme Purgatory Field.
On his way, his war chariot exploded, creating the Dark Magnetic Deadly Explosion, which almost smashed him.
He was sure that the one who had attacked him in the dark was Ao Gera!
Not long after he arrived in the Purgatory Star, Ao Gu Duo suddenly wanted to kill him, accusing him of joining Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo to assassinate Zi Yao. If Leona hadn’t stopped him, Shi Yan would have been dead.
Both potentially fatal incidents were related to Ao Gera. However, Zi Yao still took Ao Gera to the Heaven Punishment City with her. Obviously, she didn’t punish him but considered Ao Gera an important chess piece.
Perhaps in her eyes, Ao Gera still had a big value. Or she was afraid of Ao Gu Duo’s force.
No matter the case, to Shi Yan, he couldn’t let it go as he was the victim. As long as Ao Gera was with Zi Yao, Shi Yan felt annoyed.
"Your Highness, the Heaven Punishment City is unexpectedly dangerous. If you didn’t bring enough forces here, you should leave early," Shi Yan said after a long moment of silence.
Zi Yao’s eyes became gloomier. "How about you? Will you go with me?"
"If you expel Ao Gera, perhaps I will," Shi Yan rose his brow, "I’ve almost died twice because of him. If he stays, I can’t sleep or eat well by your side."
"Are you sure he did that?" Zi Yao said sadly.
Shi Yan beamed a faint smile. "Even with your wisdom, I don’t think you recognize his hostility towards me. No matter what reason you have to keep him with you, I don’t feel well with it. I won’t fight shoulder by shoulder with him. We’ll soon have a fight to the death."
Zi Yao’s face was bitter. "Ao Gera has been following me for so many years. Even if he doesn’t have any merit, he is dedicated enough. His works in the Glorious Amethyst Star are well-done and transparent. I don’t have a reason to expel him. Moreover, he has Ao Gu Duo standing behind him. Can you give me more time?"
"I can’t ask you for anything, Your Highness," Shi Yan smiled, "but I will remember how you helped him. However, if I deal with Ao Gera, I won’t intentionally lower my powers. If he stays in the Heaven Punishment City... I’m not sure if I won’t kill him."

Shi Yan was surprised. He shook his head and laughed. "I think it has nothing to do with you, right? I have the rights to chase after any woman I want. You don’t have the right to interfere with my business. Am I right?"
"She’s a pirate!" Zi Yao shouted.
"So what?" asked Shi Yan deliberately.
"The Pirates of the Land of God Punishment are the nails stuck in the flesh of the three big forces. They are my enemies. If you stay with her, you are on the opposite side to us!" said Zi Yao angrily.
"So what?" asked Shi Yan.
Zi Yao took a deep breath, beaming a forced smile but she didn’t say anything.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
A magical electric magnetic field suddenly expanded from the corner of his eye.
"Who’s that?!" Carthew’s voice came from a stone room nearby. The wind gusted, and a silver silhouette appeared.
"Sir Carthew, long time no see," Shi Yan bent his body slightly.
Carthew nodded. His face was solemn while the wind swirled around him.
Boom Boom!
The stone gate at the back of the garden blew off. A group of about ten people got in one by one. Leading them was a bulky man with an aquiline nose and deep eye sockets. He looked sinister, haughty, and unruly.
Alchemist Allard and Bi Rou appeared behind him. They were all astounded to see Shi Yan. They assessed him discreetly.
Shi Yan was also surprised. He became vigilant, preparing for a sudden battle.
"Bi Tian!"
Carthew and Zi Yao screamed in fright. They changed their visages instantly.
Bi Tian was a tough character in the Underworld League. He was second to one person but was greater than tens of thousands of people. He had the Second Sky of Original God Realm, one level higher than Carthew. His family held intimidating powers with several life stars. He commanded a team that had as many hotshots as clouds in the sky.
Bi Tian’s position in the Underworld League could be compared to Leona’s and Ao Gu Duo’s in the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. They were all tyrant characters whose names could break the dome of heaven of the Raging Flame Star Area.
"Carthew, do I look weird?" Bi Tian wore an indifferent face, walking as if he didn’t care about anyone else. "You guys are plotting about the star map, and I wish to join in on this matter. We have the same goal. If you can get here, I can, too."
"You’re quick enough." Carthew was surprised but he gathered himself quickly. He nodded. "If we have the same goal, why do you come here? You want to join hands with me to steal the star map in Feng Ke’s hands?"
Bi Tian beamed a dry smile, shaking his head. "I have the same realm as Feng Ke. It’s not easy to defeat him. You have only the First Sky of Original God Realm so you can’t be of much help. Anyway, you, Russell, and Jie Nong have the same realm. So, I’m not here to cooperate with you. Oh, if I have to find someone to cooperate, I will be more interested in Leona."
Obviously, he implied that Carthew wasn’t as strong as Leona.
Carthew wasn’t enraged. He just smiled, "I’m weaker compared to Madame Leona. Yeah, if you aren’t here to seek cooperation, so why are you here?"
"Because of him." Bi Tian pointed to Shi Yan. His face became solemn as he said, "You are Shi Yan, right? You and my Underworld League have business. But my little daughter didn’t treat you nicely. She was a little bit harsh to you. On behalf of her, I want to apologize."
After pausing for a while, Bi Tian turned and glared at Bi Rou, giving her a low shout. "Little Rou!"
Bi Rou’s graceful face distorted as if she didn’t want to do it. She had struggled in her mind for a while then bent her delicate waist, saying desperately to Shi Yan, "I’m so sorry for offending you that year. My apologies."
"Shi Yan, little brother. Forgive us, forgive us." Alchemist Allard clasped his fist, his face smiling.
Carthew was stunned. Zi Yao was baffled. Shi Yan didn’t understand what was going on.
"Bi Tian, what are you doing?" Carthew pondered for a moment then asked in a confused manner.
"Cough cough!" Bi Tian gave a dry cough, taking a deep breath. He looked at Shi Yan, talking to him solemnly, "Little brother... What do you think about my daughter’s appearance?" action
Shi Yan, Carthew, and Zi Yao were perplexed.
Bi Rou’s white neck reddened. She looked at Shi Yan embarrassedly. Her bright eyes were filled with anger and embarrassment.
"She’s nice. Her face is beautiful and graceful too."
Bi Tian stretched his mouth into a smile, flinging his arm. "Then it’s good. I want to let my daughter marry you. What do you think?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBi Rou’s bright eyes looked like she was about to fire, shaking her head continually behind Bi Tian. She signaled him not to agree. She almost screamed.
Carthew and Zi Yao shivered, looking at Bi Tian with disbelieving faces. They didn’t know what to say.
"My daughter is mesmerizingly beautiful. I’m Bi Tian, the Great Commander of the Underworld League. In any aspect, my status is better than Feng Ke’s, right? Marrying my daughter will bring you fewer troubles than marrying a pirate. What do you think?" Bi Tian smiled. He contemplated for a while and then added, "Of course, Princess Zi Yao is more beautiful and noble, but I think... Du Tian Ji won’t be as generous as I am. He won’t allow his princess to marry you. So I think my option is more suitable for you. Don’t you think so?"
Carthew, Shi Yan, and Zi Yao gawked perplexedly. Even some warriors standing behind Bi Tian gave odd looks.
Bi Rou stood behind Bi Tian, continually shaking her head. She was so worried, trying to signal him to reject her father’s proposal. It seemed like she had someone else in her heart and she didn’t want to become someone who can conveniently recruit strong experts for her father.
Shi Yan was astounded for a while. He quietly looked at Bi Tian then turned to Bi Rou. He took a deep breath. "Why? Why did you choose me?"
"Although your realm isn’t enough to be noticed, it doesn’t mean you will stay that way. I believe that if you can survive, you will become an overlord of a region in the Raging Flame Star Area!" Bi Tian answered frankly. "I will take this bet on your future!"
Carthew was shaken. His eyes brightened up all of a sudden as he shouted, "Bi Tian, you’re so tricky! I can’t deny that I admire your cunning mind. You’re worthy to be the hero of your land. You do have imposing manners!"
Zi Yao finally reacted and her soft body shivered.
Bi Tian was about to make a big bet. He wanted to use his daughter’s lifetime worth of happiness and his mighty force to bet on Shi Yan’s future!
He strongly believed that Shi Yan would become the most outstanding character in the Raging Flame Star Area. Thus, he decided that he should persuade and recruit him for his team. He didn’t even regret using his daughter because he thought that his bold vision was correct. Shi Yan would become a great overlord in the future.
His resolute deeds and imposing manners were terrifying indeed.
At this moment, Carthew and Zi Yao understood this course of action. And because they understood it, they felt a chill in their hearts caused by Bi Tian’s endeavors.
"If you marry my daughter, you will belong to my force. I can use all the available cultivating materials to tile your path. I can provide you with whatever you want!" said Bi Tian seriously. "With your natural endowment, I think you can break to the Original God Realm very quickly! I believe that you don’t need two hundred years to gain a slot in the Raging Flame Star Area. I don’t know if someone else favors you like I do, but I believe that I have the most sincere proposal. What do you say?"
"Can you give me more time to think?" Shi Yan suddenly said.
From the other side, Bi Rou was still watching him with sharp eyes, trying to signal him to reject her father. Hearing him, her soft body shook as deep embarrassment and resentment sparkled in her eyes. She looked like a tigress about to bare its fangs and tear Shi Yan’s throat.
Bi Tian gazed at him for a while. He grinned and nodded, "Alright, I’ll give you time to think about it."
"Alright, we won’t disturb you anymore." Bi Tian said to Carthew and Zi Yao before turning around and leaving. His warriors followed him silently. During Bi Tian’s entire proposal, no one in his delegation had uttered a word.
Only Bi Rou lagged behind. Waiting until her father disappeared, she craned her neck behind the stone gate, rolling her eyes at Shi Yan indignantly. She said through her gritted teeth, "Don’t dream about his offer! Even if I die, I won’t marry you!" Then, her graceful body disappeared.
At the same time, Feng Rao called for him. Because it took him so long time, Feng Rao got uneasy and came to look for him.
