Chapter Fifty: A Bet Without Empty Words

  This is really unbelievable!

  Mo Qingchen repeatedly experimented, only to see the things on the bed appear and disappear from time to time, but that dusty gourd was motionless, stuck there.

  Mo Qing dust suddenly fell on the bed, buried his head in the quilt and struggled for a moment, then lifted his head, grabbed the gourd and took a big gulp: "What kind of variety is this gourd?"

  Mo Qingchen finally gave up on researching and still carried the gourd in his arms, although he knew it was not safe, but for now there was no better way.

  Mo Qingchen tied the storage bag around his waist and sat cross-legged in meditation. Before he knew it, a whole night had passed.

  Time flies, and it's New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.

  "Miss, wear this light red jacket today." Yunzhi took out a finely made and brightly colored small jacket and compared it to Mo Qingchen's body.

  Mo Qingchen wasn't that kind of person who insisted on wearing clothes of a certain color, and upon hearing this, he nodded slightly with an air of indifference.

  Yun Zhi delightedly helped Mo Qingchen change into new clothes, and then combed his adorable double buns, wrapping a string of bright red translucent pomegranate stones around them.

  Mo Qingchen couldn't help but laugh secretly, how come Yun Zhi has become more and more fond of dressing herself up, no matter how much she tries to make a fuss, after all, she's just a little immature bean.

  Jian Mo Qingchen's face was nonchalant, Yun Zhi said: "Miss, today you should dress up a bit more, it's New Year's Day after all. Besides, aren't we also giving out the year-end small competition awards at tonight's banquet? Miss, you performed so well back then, and tonight will definitely be glorious."

  "There's nothing good to mention about what happened that day, let's go, Yunzhi sister, if we delay any longer, Grandfather will probably get anxious." Mo Qing said calmly.

  Mo Qingchen had won against Mo Yuqi in the year-end small competition, and even fought a fierce battle with Mo Ranyi for half a day. By all accounts, it was something worth boasting about. However, she realized more profoundly that she had merely relied on some lucky tricks and ordinary skills that even cultivators wouldn't bother to learn.

  In the end, improving one's own cultivation is the right path. What is there to be proud of for someone with a four-spirit root like myself?

  To those who are discerning, they themselves are just winning by unconventional means, if they become arrogant because of this, it's a huge joke.

  Mo Qingchen walked out with Yunzhi, and saw Mo Danyan smiling: "Girl, you look very beautiful today."

  "Grandpa, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Mo Qingchen said with a smile.

  "Let's go." Mo Danyan stretched out his big hand and pulled Mo Qingchen, the two of them walking forward together, with Yunzhi hastily following behind.

  The New Year's Eve dinner at the Mo Manor was as lively as that of an ordinary wealthy family, with all the monks gathering in a hall, and the ordinary people from the clan having a grand feast elsewhere, without disturbing each other.

  The clan leader Mo Danyan sat at the top and spoke a few words before starting the banquet.

  Yun Zhi stood behind Mo Qingchen, holding a pair of chopsticks to pick up dishes for her from a distance, and all the waiters did the same.

  Mo Qing was savoring his food with relish, but he kept discovering that there were always chilly gazes falling on him.

  She raised her eyes and met Mo Yuqi's cold gaze head-on.

  Mo Yuqi saw Mo Qingchen coming over and glared at him fiercely before turning her head away.

  Mo Qingchen smiled indifferently, she didn't plan to kick a man while he was down, anyway Mo Yuqi's cultivation would soon make her laugh, she thought she'd glare at him for a bit to vent, and that was it.

  As expected, after three rounds of wine, Mo Daxian spoke up: "Following the usual practice, let's distribute the individual cultivation quotas. This year-end small competition, everyone has gone all out, and some people have performed exceptionally well. I hope you will continue to work hard, and in my lifetime, I hope to see someone among you who can restore the glory of our Mo family!"

  "We obey the elder's teachings!" everyone stood up and said in unison.

  Mo Dashi finished speaking, and then the servants came in with trays, each tray was stacked with a different number of spirit stones, as well as jade bottles and other items.

  Mo Qingchen knew that the Mo family was not wealthy, so it was impossible to waste storage bags on cultivation tools. Moreover, putting the prizes out in the open like this would only serve to stimulate people's desire to become stronger.

  Mo Qingchu looked at the tray in front of him, still feeling a little excited. On it were neatly arranged twelve pieces of spiritual stones, all colors were present, but the colors were extremely light, and they were all low-grade spiritual stones. There was also a jade bottle, which should contain some kind of pill, as for what kind of pill and how many, he had no idea.

  Mo Qingchen swept his hand and put everything on the tray into a storage bag, and took the opportunity to glance at others.

  Only to see that on the tray in front of Mo Fei, there were two more spirit stones than hers, and among them, two had a deeper color, obviously mid-grade spirit stones. The jade bottles also had two more than her own.

  Mo Qing dusted off his admiration and looked towards Mo Yuqi, only to see her hastily reaching out to put her hand on the tray.

  Huh? Is she trying to welch on her debt?

  Mo Qingchen is not some kind of good person, since you stepped on my face at that time and thought you would win the bet by defeating me, now wanting to renege on the debt is out of the question!

  "Eleventh Sister!" The originally quiet hall was suddenly filled with Mo Qingchen's clear and loud voice, causing everyone to involuntarily look over at the two of them.

  Mo Yuqi's hand stiffened, her eyes wide with shock, staring fixedly at Mo Qingchen. She really hadn't expected that the stinky girl would dare to call out to her in front of everyone, was she now asking for her own cultivation expenses?

  Mo Yuqi's face turned pale at this thought.

  Looking at Mo Yuqi's pale face, Mo Qingchen couldn't help but laugh. This isn't the ruthless you from before, now you're acting like a little white flower.

  "Eleventh sister, do you remember the bet we made back then?" Mo Qingchen asked with a pure and innocent face, anyway she was only six years old, what did she have to fear.

  Mo Yuqi pursed her lips and remained silent.

  "Eleventh sister, if you've forgotten, Qingchen can remind you. At that time, Eleventh sister said that if Qingchen wins the year-end small competition by luck, then all the cultivation resources for the new year will belong to Qingchen." Mo Qingchen said calmly.

  "You vicious girl, how can you be so ruthless? You didn't even spare my family's Yuqi that day, injuring her so severely. And now you're still thinking about her cultivation expenses?" Mo Bayi's wife couldn't help but stand up and loudly exclaimed while pulling Mo Yuzhi along.

  "Mind your own business, young one! Don't interfere in this matter!" shouted Mo Dashan, the clan leader.

  Mo Ba's wife said reluctantly: "Head of the clan, it's just a joke that children say at home, how can you really want Yu Qi to take out a year's worth of cultivation expenses?"

  Mo Dashi gave Mo Ba's wife a cold glance.

  Mo Qingchen gazed at Mo Yuxi with a faint smile and said, "Eleventh sister, I didn't know you'd lose and then go find Mother. Unfortunately, Qingchen's mother is no longer here. If Qingchen had lost back then, you would have taken away Qingchen's cultivation expenses and still made Qingchen kneel down to kowtow three times to you. What could Qingchen do?"

  Mo Yuqi's face turned red, and with a push of her hand, she violently knocked over the things on the tray in front of Mo Qingchen, saying: "Fine, I'll give it to you. If you have the ability, then let's see next year!"
