Chapter 121: Would be Hopeless Forever!
"The Divine Garnet Furnace is an eighth-graded alchemy furnace which can refine eighth-graded extraordinary elixirs, hence, is one of the best. Gu Xijiu, if you win, this alchemy furnace will belong to you. I’ll carve your name on it myself so that nobody can steal it from you. When you die, this alchemy furnace will be crushed and buried together with you. But if you are alive, anyone else who has it is considered a thief. I myself, will help you get it back and punish the thief.
On the other hand, if you lose, I’ll cut your tongue and make sure that you will become the concubine of the twelfth prince and never to be raised to the status of a wife..." The voice of Tian Jiyue rang in the hall like a chilly spring breeze. He scanned through the people, "Do you understand me?"
Gu Xixi’s face turned slightly pale as this was the first time she had seen this Divine Garnet Furnace. Besides, the main reason she came out from the clan and got closer to Rong Chu was to get this alchemy furnace.
She had yet to identify an opportunity for Rong Chu to give her the alchemy furnace as a gift; it had now become a prize here.
It would be alright if she had won, but if it turns out the other way round, she would be hopeless forever then!
She had an idea that she would be able to get the alchemy furnace back even if Gu Xijiu was lucky enough to win. After all, she was useless and therefore, could not keep it safe.
She was feeling somewhat remorseful, but when she saw Gu Xijiu looking very confident, she felt so even more.
But alas, she had no opportunity to turn back. Furthermore, it was truly fair and square - she could not say anything else but to gnash her teeth and respond, "Understood."
The rest had no objections too.
