The Twenty-Third Chapter: The Cunning Prince

  "Good, good, good! Expensive ten times!" The Fifth Prince angrily and hastily retorted with a smile: "If you can take it out, I'll give this sword to you!"

  "Really? You seem to have a bad reputation!" Everyone snickered and covered their mouths. The fifth prince's face immediately turned red, he was a sly person who often bought things without paying for them, almost all the big shops in the capital had been cheated by him, everyone present knew about it!

  "I guarantee it!" said Ishihara Sanroku.

  "Who does he think he is?" This time everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing! The two of them are usually together, and they've been partners in crime all along!

  "What do you want?" asked the Fifth Prince.

  "If you ask Your Majesty to be fair..." I hadn't finished speaking when he hastily said, "Alright! But what if there's no way?"

  "I'm giving you this ring!" I pointed at the space ring.

  The third prince immediately covered my mouth and then said to my elder brother, "Take him away, he's had too much to drink!" My elder brother responded with a sound and hugged me, wanting to leave!

  "Slow down!" The Fifth Prince bellowed: "Do you want to tarnish the reputation of the Dragon family?"

  Big brother was taken aback and angrily put me down. The third prince also didn't dare to speak, as the matter involved family honor and no one dared to be careless!

  "Let us all come together and invite our father to be impartial."

  Everyone was teasing me, and now even my brothers have no choice but to admit it. On the way to the front hall, they were all blaming me.

  The poor Taoist was puzzled and asked, "How did you know I lost?"

  "That sword he bought for 1.5 million, ten times that is 15 million, I'm telling you, even divine artifacts can't sell for that! Besides, do you have a divine artifact sword?"

  "No!" I replied honestly

  "Even if you have it, you can't blow like that!" The Third Prince said.

  "Didn't you ask me to blow it?"

  "When did I ask you to blow and pull? I asked you to take out a better sword than his, to show off! You're great! If this precious ring is lost, I'll have to get my mom to clean up!"

  "It's not necessarily going to be a gamble!"

  "What did you say?" He came back to life

  "It seems like the stakes are too different!"

  "Right! Your spatial ring is worth 70 or 80 million, but his is only 15 million. This is bullying a child! Haha. I'll go tell mom to call off this gamble!"

  We all came to the front, and everyone was there, the king, the queen, grandfather, the great magician Kara, the archbishop, the five clan leaders and their wives, etc. After explaining the purpose, the king spoke up.

  "You're also too shameless, how dare you gamble with a six-year-old child? And to such a large extent!" The king was very dissatisfied with the fifth prince.

  "Your Excellency, I think the Long family has always been reputable and values their reputation! The fifth young master of the Long family is intelligent and wise beyond his years, he's the future hope of the Long family! Surely he wouldn't be someone who speaks carelessly. If Your Excellency were to cancel the gambling agreement, wouldn't that make the fifth young master lose credibility with others and also tarnish the reputation of the Long family?!" said Ishihara Kuma, the head of the Ishihara family, with a smug expression on his face.

  "This princess, what do you think?" the king asked my mother

  "The honor of the Dragon family is above all else. From now on, this little fifth can represent the Dragon family in speaking!" Grandfather took over the conversation, saying with a smile.

  "What? You said he?" The king asked in surprise.

  To know grandfather's meaning is that I can represent the Long family to participate in family matters, usually at least 20 years old direct descendants, and also need to pass the test! The people around were shocked by grandfather's decision.

  "That's right, Your Majesty, it is him! It's all set!"

  "But he's only six years old!"

  "There have been many examples of children who were only a few years old and yet took charge on their own. Even now, I've heard that the Seventh Princess of the Warna Kingdom has already been permitted to lead a 2000-man guard at just seven years old. I believe Xiao Wu can do even better!"

  "What do you mean by this bet?"

  "If Your Highness insists, then let us continue!"

  "I'll definitely persist!" You stubborn fool!

  "Alright then, I can be a fair judge. Let Grand Mage Kara make the assessment! Does anyone have any objections?" said the king.

  "I have an opinion! This is unfair!" Queen Wang said, with Third Prince standing behind her back, smiling at me.

  "What is unfair?" asked the king

  "The bet is unfair! Everyone can see it!"

  "Not bad!" The king nodded and said: "Do you have any more? If not, I can only declare the bet invalid!"

  "This" fifth prince said to Ishihara Kuma "Uncle, look!"

  Ishihara Kuma looked embarrassed and didn't say a word.

  Can I let him off? Of course not. I smiled and said, "Forget it! His family is known for being frugal in the imperial city! What good things can they take out?"

  The Ishihara family is extremely wealthy, but they are particularly stingy, eating poorly and dressing poorly, earning them the nickname "miserly slaves". As soon as my words of praise for their frugality came out, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ishihara Kuma's face could no longer hold on, and he harshly said: "I'm not so poor that I need to be ridiculed by a little brat like you! This should be enough, right?" He then took off the ink jade ring from his hand and handed it over to the king.

  Everyone was shocked again, this ring is extraordinary, it's almost the heirloom of the Ishihara family, passed down for several generations. The ink jade itself is a rare top-level material that can enhance the energy of the dark system, including Dou Qi and magic. The gemstone inlaid on this ring is black magic crystal, equivalent to the core of an eighth-level upper-tier demon beast. It's the masterpiece of a great alchemy master, definitely sealed with eighth-level dark system magic, only he has never seen him use it before. The Ishihara family's inherited evil Dou Qi is also dark and black, with this ring's enhancement, can increase combat power by one level. Its value even surpasses my space ring! Who would have thought he dared to bet on this? Has he gone mad? Everyone thinks so!

  "Xiong Er, have you gone mad? This is your family heirloom!" the king said.

  "Your Majesty, my family didn't make it a symbol of the clan's authority. It's just that it's quite valuable, so it's always been held by the head of the clan! I'd like to know what sword is worth 1.5 billion, even if it's a divine artifact for 1 billion, I'll buy it!" said Ishihara Kuma

  "Alright, but his stake is not enough, you see?"

  "Your Majesty, is there anything fair in this world? It's all right, more or less. Who let the child be so young?"

  "Is there anyone else who has doubts?" No one said a word.

  "Alright then, let's get started! Xiao Wu, you can bring out that valuable sword of yours now!"

  "Your Excellency, I won, can I really get that ring?" Things have gotten a bit out of hand now, I never thought Sakurai Kuma would actually bet the ring, I thought he'd use something else or not bet at all, but it turns out I ran into a madman! If I really win, the trouble will be huge! Sakurai Kuma might even die from anger. Then our families will completely break off relations and we'll have to fight to the death!

  "That's right! The sword is yours too! Don't waste any more time, hurry up!" shouted Ishihara Kuma

  I'm still unsure, I looked at Grandpa and he seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed! Dizzy, it's really up to me to make the decision now! Things have come to this point, I also don't have a way out, can't just give him the ring for nothing! Taking a deep breath, I said: "Alright, let's see how much it's worth?"

  I took out 'Jinshan' from the ring, and the silver sword shone brightly under the lamp's reflection, dazzling everyone. The great demon master Kalan took it over to examine carefully, and after a while, he sighed: "What a waste!"

  "What did you say?" the king asked.

  "Your Majesty, this sword is a complete waste of materials, it has no practical use whatsoever."

  "Haha you lost, did you think that just finding a pretty sword would deceive the great demon master? Admit defeat quickly! Haha" The fifth prince said with excitement.

  Ishihara Kuma also smiled and said: "Let's go!"

  The three princes and several older brothers were as pale as death, the queen was also pinching her face, I noticed everyone's expression, some were happy, some were regretful, not one or two! Unfortunately, there is still a sequel!

  "No! Your Highness! I'm afraid you've lost!"
