Aofeng stilled at Ba Tuke's question. Her gaze suddenly became strange. No one could see a thing from the deep pitch black eyes.

Pausing, Aofeng's red lips turned into a beautiful curve. "You really want to bet with me?"

"Yes, Zhui Yun Daren is afraid I am lying to you?' Ba Tuke stared heatedly at Aofeng. He suddenly laughed and clapped his hands. Outside the door, Ba Erbo walked in with a dark expression. Four males dressed in black-robes behind him came in carrying an enormous cage covered in black cloth to place in the center of the room.

Ba Erbo sneered at Aofeng. "Look closely, and see if this is a sacred beast!"

Father and son exchanged a look and both of them pulled at the black cloth covering the cage at the same time. The golden gaze immediately reflected a silver color in the candlefire of the room. At the center of the cage, a completely white little fox that curled up apathetically in there like a small meatball. Its three enormous tails were each bigger than its body. Its eerie deep green eyes flashed with light. Those that had slightly weak minds couldn't help but want to go up and released its chains when they met its gaze.

"Such a strong mental attack!"

"Sacred beast! Definitely a sacred beast!"

Many of the second-rank professionals in the surroundings were in a momentary gaze before they woke up and said in shock. An infant sacred beast. This was something that they would not usually see!

This fox was small and its fur not yet fully grown, but it was already the size of an adult man. Its tails were enough to completely wrap around a large man. When sacred beasts were in their infant stage, they could not use mimicry. Only magic beasts that were sacred beast could reach such a large size.

Three-Tailed Charm Foxes were not uncommon among sacred beasts. Looking at the white fox's shape and traits, Lu Feng nodded. "Yes, it's a Three-Tailed Charm Fox. That gold cage is forged to block the presence of a sacred beast. However, it can only restrain an infant sacred beast. Captain Ba Tuke is so generous. If a Three-Tailed Charm Fox was auctioned off underground, it can be sold for tens of millions of obsidian. Even if you do not sell it, why do you not keep it for your son! You actually use it in a bet!"

Ba Tuke snickered. "So what if I waste money in order to increase everyone's spirits? Zhui Yun Daren is the youngest spirit magister on the continent. If I give this magus beast to him, will this not be adding wings to a tiger? However, people do not treasure what they obtain easily. If Zhui Yun Daren wants this sacred beast, it will depend on you."

Actually, this sacred beast had been prepared for Ba Erbo. However, seeing the increase in hostilities between Aofeng and the envoy from Radiance, Ba Erbo had a malicious idea. Since he aleady planned to lure the other in a trap, he might as well extract as much value as possible. As a result, he proposed this bet. In his eyes, after today's arrangements, Aofeng and the others would undoubtedly lose!

An adult sacred beast, that was something that millions of magisters would pick up a knife and kill other people for!

"Hmph, I think that you want to benefit from this opportunity. Careful that you do not lose the rice you tried to lure the chicken with." Lu Feng smiled coldly. He knew what Ba Tuke thought. He started to suspect hat Ba Tuke had some plan. Otherwise, why was he so confident? Giving Aofeng a sacred beast for free? He was not so good-hearted!

Aofeng looked at the little fox in the cage and then glanced at Ba Tuke and his son. He smiled coldly, "An infant sacred beast, and you want to trade for an adult sacred beast? Then the beast taming granding masters on the continent don't have any value, no? It will take many years for an infant to grow into an adult. I am unable to accept your bet, unless ... ..."
