Chapter 1176 - 925 Gamble City
Heaven Realm.
Celestial Clan.
It had been some time since Elsa left the Celestial Clan to establish a city on her own, and the Emperor had also returned to the Celestial Clan for a while. Elsa’s Ghost Spirit City had always been calm, with adorable little girls living and studying there. However, the upper echelons of the Celestial Clan had already begun to sense something unusual.
The Emperor suddenly returned, directly negating all of Elsa’s achievements and even attempting to erase her existence. At this time around the Emperor, any topic related to Elsa was strictly prohibited, and the entire upper echelon of the Celestial Clan found this very incomprehensible.
Since Elsa’s return, the Emperor had hosted a celebration for her comeback, and afterward, he completely disappeared, leaving the Empire in the hands of Selena and Sajia. Such behavior was difficult to understand. Now, with Elsa far from the Celestial Clan, the Emperor appeared once more, attempting to obliterate the name Elsa. This was enough to show that the Emperor, who had once banished Elsa to the Human Realm, had not yet abandoned his original intentions!
The Ministers were very worried. If Elsa reappeared here and lost her temper in front of the Emperor, how would the situation end? Could it really be as the prophecy stated, that Elsa would be the one to bring destruction to Heaven Realm?
Thinking this, every Minister felt a shiver go through them; the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. Especially considering Elsa’s terrible temperament and shocking capability for action, the Ministers genuinely believed there might come a day when a war could break out between the Emperor and Elsa. At this time, although Elsa had no soldiers, she did have a troop of Ghost Spirits turned lovely little girls!
It’s hard to know what kind of fighting power these little girls would have...
Compared to the anxious upper echelon of the Celestial Clan, the Ghost Spirit City was, conversely, full of joy.
At first, it was just some curious people who came here trying to figure out what the little girls were up to. Then came the adventurers, who found the place peaceful with little danger. And now, wealthy merchants and nobility were also starting to arrive in groups.
For they discovered that within this Ghost Spirit City lay the biggest casino in the entire Heaven Realm!
In Heaven Realm, gambling was strictly controlled, with only a few casinos of limited size and variety of games. But Ghost Spirit City was different. The wealthy visitors were amazed to find many games they had never played before, suitable for those who wanted to bet for fun or those who wished to wager a fortune.
And the one in charge of managing and maintaining the casino was none other than Nim.
Nim had never imagined in his life that he would one day become a city overseer, especially of a massive gambling city!
Elsa had invented various novel games, filling every corner of the city with them. And now, Nim finally understood what those magic-built luxury hotels were for.
They were called "accompanying facilities"! Nim savored this new term he had just learned from Elsa.
Despite the Empire’s upper echelons avoiding any discussion of Elsa’s existence like the plague, the wealthy gamblers didn’t care; their main objective was to have fun, and nothing was more thrilling than gambling.
Elsa had heard from Long Yi about Las Vegas, a city in the desert with no resources and even a water shortage. To attract visitors, they had to do something unique.
Gambling was exactly that.
Every day, a huge cash flow weaved through Ghost Spirit City. And the people in charge of the entire city were none other than those adorable Ghost Spirit girls.
Sweet, adorable—these were the surface traits of these girls. But after some time with them, people discovered the girls were well-educated, conducted themselves with elegance, and even had an air of nobility.
"Of course, all of that is under the condition that you never anger them," a drunken gambler told another younger gambler beside him.
At the moment, the young gambler was holding a few chips in a casino in the city, which was unimaginably bustling despite being nearly isolated.
Every day countless airships came and went, bringing food and freshwater and taking away trash.
Every day, numerous luxurious airships were moored on the outskirts, transporting the wealthy guests to this place where one could go broke overnight or strike it rich in an instant.
New legends were born here daily, such as a certain pauper who came with a single chip and left as a super-rich man, with the mayor of Ghost Spirit City even sending an airship to take him home.
Countless people came here lured by such stories, dreaming of overnight riches. Of course, most left empty-handed.
But this young man was clearly not one of those people; in fact, he was the Crown Prince of the Celestial Clan, Sajia.
No one knew why he had come here, nor did anyone know he was here at all. At this moment, Sajia was disguised as a completely unfamiliar face, just like an ordinary gambler, curious about everything around him.
Ever since that day when he had a secret discussion with the Emperor, Sajia had become a completely different person. No longer keen on governing the Empire, he began to immerse himself in frenzied reading. Even those closest to him had no idea what the texts he read were about, as even the most learned scholars couldn’t comprehend the writing.
Of course, Sajia himself read with relish and even seemed somewhat addicted to it.
Logically, such a person should not appear in Ghost City, which was known as a gambling haven, but here he was, disguised.
The bizarre games around him failed to capture Sajia’s attention; instead, he focused more on the cute little girls walking around. They were the core of the gambling city’s operation, the newly born Ghost Spirits. These monsters, once feared by all, now presented themselves in a sweet and cute image. Some conspiracy theorists believed this to be a new trick of the Ghost Spirits, planning to invade stealthily when ordinary people were not paying attention. But evidently, they didn’t seem to need an invasion now, as people were desperately pushing their way in.
There were quite a few people like Sajia at this moment; fewer were there to gamble, but rather to witness firsthand how the nightmare of the Celestial Clan had turned into lovely young girls.
Suddenly, a drunken high-roller at a card table got into a fight with another merchant, and their bodyguards started battling without hesitation. Several little girls hurried over, shouting loudly, trying to get the two sides to stop.
If they were sober, even if not for the little cute girls, just the thought of these little girls being Ghost Spirits would be enough to sober them up. But drunken people can’t be reasoned with using normal logic, and they might become even more aggressive when someone tries to intercede.
"Hahaha, the show has started!" laughed a drunken gambler beside Sajia.
Suddenly, among those little girls trying to calm the situation, one of them burst out with astonishing energy, the power of the Ghost Spirits that the people of the Celestial Clan were all too familiar with!
And that little girl also transformed into a completely different image at the same time.
Her height shot up dramatically, and her formerly flat figure quickly became incredibly voluptuous. The sweet-looking dress she was wearing instantly turned into a tight-fitting leather outfit. Then, the sharp heels of her shoes kicked each of the combatants in the face.
"If you won’t listen, then come with big sister!" With a sultry body and a voice sexy to the bone, some men nearly got a nosebleed on the spot.
The sexy girl, wielding a long whip, swiftly silenced those who still intended to struggle. The bodyguards of those wealthy high-rollers included some real masters, but they couldn’t take a single blow from the sexy girl. In an instant, all of them were bound by the whip and dragged out of the gambling hall.
Sajia watched with a smile on his face, just like everyone else, staring fixedly at the girl as she left. Not long after, the girl returned the same way she came. Under a fluctuation of the power of the Ghost Spirits, she transformed back into the sweet and cute little girl.
This kind of thing happened several times a day in the gambling hall, and the gamblers took it as a diversion to spice up their lives. Especially when these cute little girls turned into various sexy and hot beauties after getting angry, it was enough to lift the spirits of many gamblers who were down on their luck.
Of course, although they were sexy and hot, not a single person dared to approach and entangle with them. Unless they were out of their senses, almost everyone who came here kept repeating in their minds without stopping.
They are Ghost Spirits, they are Ghost Spirits!
"Look at this degenerate life; these people create wealth but don’t think about how to use the wealth to make the Celestial Clan stronger. Instead, they come here to give their money to a stranger!" said the drunken gambler next to Sajia.
"But father, after all, she is Elsa..." Sajia murmured.
It turned out that the drunken gambler beside Sajia was the Emperor himself!
"Shut up! You fool! Don’t mention that name! That ominous, unclean, nauseating name!" The Emperor, unrecognizable from his former self, exclaimed angrily.
"Yes, father..." Sajia said helplessly.
"I left the Imperial Palace, but I never left the Imperial City. I know best what that person did! It was her who attracted the Ghost Spirits here! Those Ghost Spirits came to the Heaven Realm tens of thousands of years ago, waiting for Elsa! They knew that ultimately she would become their Queen! Yes, I’ve known all along, I have seen it all in the prophecy book! She will lead the Ghost Spirit army to invade my Imperial City, expel me from the throne, and bring the entire Heaven Realm under her rule! And I, will never allow such a thing to happen!"
The Emperor spoke fervently.
Sajia’s gaze lowered, he nodded silently.
"My child, you support me, don’t you?" The Emperor finally turned his gaze back and looked at Sajia.
"Yes, my father, I will always support you," Sajia said. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
