Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "That's exactly the effect I'm looking for. If the outside world doesn't see a glimmer of hope, they won't come to risk their lives."
Li Huanyan complained, "You're using Cundi's life as bait, and it's working too well."
"It's also what Cundi is willing to do. Gambling is like that; you have to let the other side see a chance of winning, otherwise, they won't play with you. I once encountered a casino known as 'Big A,' which never gave anyone a chance to win. It's odd if they ever did well."
Empress Nuwa didn't get involved in the squabble between Ji Changsheng and Li Huanyan. After pondering for a moment, she made a decision, "Let the demons from Empress Nuwa's Palace also try their luck."
Both Ji Changsheng and Li Huanyan were startled.
Li Huanyan hurriedly reminded her, "Mother, it's very dangerous."
Ji Changsheng was more blunt, "Mom, the demons on the pilgrimage route are all being used to settle debts. Once let loose, they may never return."
