My Seven Gorgeous Women Chapter 538
It was clear that Enzo was treating Chase as someone who had bad intentions toward Enola.“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m just a bodyguard your sister hired!” Chase was not bothered to explain much and left after saying that.Chase headed straight toward Chitara’s stone gambling street.There were not many people on the street when he arrived. Only a few stalls were open. It was thanks to the internet era that stone gambling was no longer an activity that was as easy to scam people as before. Most people were now aware of the tricks they played, which was why fewer people visited this street.An old man with a stall by the street saw Chase standing in a daze. “How about trying out one of these stones?”The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw Chase. He swung the stone in his hand for a bit. He wanted badly to force Chase into buying it.However, enforcement had been strict in recent years. He could not physically force someone to make a purchase. He could only rely on his words.
My Seven Gorgeous Women Chapter 539
The old man grumbled silently. Young people nowadays were difficult to handle. He continued, “Just continue walking ahead until you cross two streets. You’ll find a shop called Emerald Studio. All you need to do is enter. You’ll find the real stone gambling street there.”He did not forget to give Chase a reminder.“There’s something else, young man. If you really want to visit that street, you’ll need to pay a fee at Emerald Studio. If there’s something you need, there’s no difference in buying it on this street. No one would be able to tell the difference if that person isn’t an expert…“Hey, where are you going?”Chase rubbed his nose. He was right. There was something up with this place.However, he did not expect this place to be divided into two streets.This street only sold fake stones.The real stone gambling street was in another place.It made sense. The stones on this street could only be used to con people.The real stone gambling street would have no lack of cust

All Chase had to do was wait for the last person to get his hands on that stone. He would convince that person to sell the stone back to him. If that person refused, Chase would just snatch the stone if he had to.Everyone present felt nervous as they stared at the owner cutting the stone. They watched it without blinking. Their eyes were glued to the stone as they held their breaths. The machine quietly slid down to cut the stone.The anxious look in everyone’s eyes turned to disappointment as the sound of the stone being halved rang in the air.That slice cut the stone in half, and the smooth cut surface looked dull. There was no sign that this stone contained anything precious. Most of the spectators were disappointed, but they insisted on continue watching it.Dominic was especially focused on this. He had a group of men behind him, and when he saw that the stone yielded nothing, he cursed out loud in anger. He had both hands behind his back and held back his anger as he did no

It was just a useless piece of crap. It did not matter how much Dominic asked for it, it could not be worth as much as before.Chase did not name a price. He wanted Dominic to be the one to suggest a price.“I spent 50 grand on this stone. All my cigar money has been thrown in. I won’t sell anything to you if you don’t give me at least ten or 20 grand.”He spoke like a true head honcho. Everyone could see that all that was left of the stone were broken-up pieces.What else was there to be cut open? There was nothing left inside! How could he ask for ten or 20 grand for the crumbled pieces?!He had to be dreaming!“Don’t be stupid.”The man Chase spoke to was worried that Chase would actually take up the offer. He pulled Chase back to stop Chase from saying anything further.Everyone began discussing this.There was not much left of the stone, and it was quite an anxious situation to be in.“Nothing much is left. You can’t bully someone out of town like this, Dominic!” A col
My Seven Gorgeous Women Chapter 542
There was no point doing something like that when he could cut a new stone for ten thousand.Chase was not affected by what the crowd was discussing. He took the remaining stones from the stall owner happily. He removed a piece of stone, which was the stone that contained the spiritual crystal.“Do you plan to cut your stone here, sir?” The stall owner asked Chase when he handed the cut-up stones over to him.Chase did not want the stones cut in public. Otherwise, Dominic might create trouble for him. Chase did not mind facing Dominic, but there was no need to give himself so much trouble.The crowd was still hanging around. Chase put away the stones and turned to leave. That was when he saw Enola and Enzo standing at the side.“Hey, Enola, isn’t that man your bodyguard? He’s such a joke. I wondered who that stupid guy was and it turned out to be him.”Enzo and Enola had been there for quite a while, but they could not squeeze through the crowd due to too many people standing aro

“Return it? Hey, what’s the look you’re giving me?! I bought this translucent stone with Enola in the high-end stone area over there. I spent a million on it. There’s bound to be something good in there. Not everyone can be like you, willing to spend money on useless stones.”There were many types of stones available, and the icy gem stone was known to be a more expensive type of gem.“What if there’s nothing inside the stone after you cut it?” Chase asked with a smile.“Nonsense! Who do you think you are? I’ve been around here for years and won’t ever pick a stone with nothing in it. Do you trust me, Enola?” Enzo was enraged to hear Chase doubting him.He was the owner of the underground auction house of Chitara. How could he continue holding his head up if he could not pick a good stone?“You have to trust me, Enola. Let’s go. We should ignore people like him who don’t know what he’s talking about.” Enzo looked at Chase with animosity.“I didn’t say I don’t trust you, Enzo.” En

Enzo sneered and said to Waylan Bolden, “Cut it open. I’ll make sure you reap the benefits as well if there’s something good in there.”“Alright.” This was a good deal for Waylan, and he was quite enthusiastic about it. He spat on both his hands.He grabbed the handle of the stone cutter. Everyone was watching intently, and he could feel the pressure that came with their stares.“Let’s start from the corner.”He marked all four sharp corners of the stone with a pencil before placing the stone under the cutter. He began to cut into it.When he cut the four sharp corners, dust flew everywhere, but there was no sign of any precious gem. If this was an icy gem stone, they would have seen some signs of a gem by now.Waylan was puzzled. However, he continued scooping water and pouring some over the surface of the stone. The water flowed along the gray sides of the stone.He laughed awkwardly. “Don’t be impatient, everyone. It could be because I didn’t cut the corners deep enough, whic
My Seven Gorgeous Women Chapter 545
Everyone was surprised by this and laughed at Enzo with pointed fingers.“Look at this. He claimed that it was an icy gem stone. Hahahah! It’s just a useless piece of stone.”“To think he was so gleeful about it!”“That’s right!”“Looks like there’s a limit to the experience of the underground auction house owner. His expertise is just the same as ours!”Enzo’s face turned pale. He did not believe what he saw. He stumbled and fell sitting on the ground in a daze. How was that possible?He had never missed a mark before. Even though it required some luck, there were still some skills to it.Enola felt terrible to see Enzo look so beaten up. He had even wanted to give her whatever treasure was in that stone. A million had gone down the drain just like that!“Impossible!” Enzo suddenly jumped up from the ground. He grabbed Waylan by the collar with great force. Enzo lost control of himself and went a little crazy. He had never felt so humiliated before.“Talk! It must be your sto

My Seven Gorgeous Women Chapter 1976
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik

"Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a

Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It

As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single

Tania once attended celebratory events held by other sects, only to encounter top-tier demonic beasts on the road. A brutal battle left her covered in wounds, and she missed the celebration entirely, offending the host.At that time, her master's resentment had already reached its peak.That thousand-year-old wolf demon became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Her master unleashed Emerald Lake Holy Land's most powerful technique—Radiance of Emerald, Eternal Slumber.Heaven and earth changed color the moment it was unleashed. The thousand-year wolf demon gathered all of its cultivation but still could not withstand the strike. It was reduced to ashes in an instant.Tania once thought that the gap between her and her master was not too wide and that she would rightfully inherit the mantle of leadership over Emerald Lake Holy Land within a century.Yet after witnessing that attack, she realized how wrong she had been. From then on, she started training harder and more dilig
