"Heavenly Card!"
A gasp suddenly rang out from the cubicle.
Sheng Ning stared wide-eyed at Tian Cang's cards, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, you're lucky!"
Tian Cang curled the corners of his lips, glanced at Sheng Ning's cards, and narrowed his tiny eyes slightly.
Because Sheng Ning was two steps slower than him, there were still two cards left to be flipped.
Judging from her current hand, she's at best a weak hand, no better than his.
With a smug smile, he raised his hand to stroke his almost non-existent mustache and said, "Young friend, you've got a pretty good hand."
Sheng Ning exclaimed "Ah!" She looked down at her cards, a conflicted look in her eyes. "My cards are terrible."
"No matter how you do it, it's not as good as yours."
Tian Cang made a bet with Sheng Ning, not because he wanted her to admit defeat.
Instead, they wanted her to put up even more money in bets.
Then Tian Cang said "Hey," pointed to her cards, and said mysteriously, "Young friend, do you still remember what I said just now?"
Sheng Ning looked up at him. "What did you say?"
Tian Cang pointed to the statue behind him and laughed, "With the goddess's blessing here, you're sure to win money. Are you sure you don't want to raise the stakes anymore, young friend?"
"If you increase your bets, young friend, you might win over a hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
Anyone else would have been tempted.
In this world where spirit stones are the unit of currency, an ordinary family might only see one hundred high-grade spirit stones in their entire life.
Just because one high-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred mid-grade spirit stones and one thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning was not the kind of person who coveted such petty gains.
Not to mention that the owner of most of her assets was sitting right next to her, the spirit stones she swindled from the Taixu Sect alone amounted to more than a hundred.
Even so, a greedy look still appeared in her eyes.
"One...one hundred high-grade spirit stones? If my father knew I earned so much, he would definitely give me a new position!"
Tian Cang stroked his beard as he looked at Sheng Ning, mentally labeling her as a 'fool whom her father looked down upon'.
Little did he know that he was the one who had fallen into the trap, and that everything Sheng Ning had done was just to trick him into it.
With a smile playing on his lips, Tian Cang nodded. "Indeed, I see that you are clever and quick-witted, and you have also received the blessing of the goddess. This victory will surely impress your father."
Sheng Ning's lips, hidden beneath the mask, curled up slightly.
She pulled a mustard seed bag from her bosom and slammed it on the table with great generosity, "I'll take it! Five hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Most of the customers at Chang Le Fang were ordinary people who didn't have much money.
This was the first time Tian Cang had ever seen such a sucker as Sheng Ning.
Suddenly widening his beady green eyes, Tian Cang muttered "Good boy" and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Young man, you have guts. Well then... let's reveal the cards."
Sheng Ning was slightly nervous.
Even though she had already decided that she would take all the spirit stones back, even if she lost this hand.
However, this concerns her title of "lucky charm". If she loses this hand, how can she face the words her friends from her past life said about her being "inhuman"?
Her palms were slightly sweaty. After laying down one card, she laid down the last card under Tian Cang's wide-eyed gaze.
Upon seeing the pale and delicate Supreme Treasure before him, Sheng Ning desperately suppressed the upward curve of her lips.
She had already been bewitched by the fox spirit when she went upstairs, and was already insane.
"This is... Supreme Treasure?"
In Pai Gow, getting the "Heavenly Tile" is already considered extremely lucky.
Tian Cang was confident that he could suppress Sheng Ning, which is why he played his trump card.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Ning's luck was so good that she was able to draw the Supreme Treasure even when she was dealing her own cards.
That's a treasure that even a gambler might not be able to obtain in their entire life!
Tian Cang stared in astonishment, muttering "Impossible!" before looking up at Sheng Ning. "You're mistaken. This is just an ordinary deck of cards."
I don't know when it started, but his voice also began to have a seductive quality.
Sheng Ning blinked and said to him, "I didn't see wrong, this is Supreme Treasure. I beat you, so everything on the gambling table is mine!"
When Sheng Ning saw Supreme Treasure, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, she time-traveled, and her good luck followed her along with it.
She then thought that if her good luck hadn't come along, she probably wouldn't have met the senior brothers from the Invincible Sect.
With a smile playing on her lips and a clear look in her eyes, Sheng Ning said, "As the largest gambling house in Youyun City, Chang Le Fang wouldn't refuse to honor its debts, would it?"
Tian Cang was horrified.
He pointed at Sheng Ning, stammering "you, you, you" for a long time before finally exclaiming in surprise, "Are you alright?"
Sheng Ning carefully put away the mustard seed bag and the money bag one by one.
Hearing this, she looked up and met his eyes. "What could possibly be wrong with me?"
"Oh no, I do have something to do."
After she finished speaking, she opened her other hand, and a stack of immobilization talismans appeared in front of Tian Cang.
When Tian Cang saw that Sheng Ning was actually a cultivator, even though he didn't know the other party's level, he instinctively wanted to run away.
Sheng Ning wouldn't give him a chance. She poured a tiny bit of spiritual power into the immobilization talisman, and the small room was instantly filled with immobilization talismans in mid-air.
As soon as Tian Cang moves, those immobilization charms will land on him.
Tian Cang's heart skipped a beat, utterly bewildered. "Young friend," he said, "I advise you to leave Chang Le Fang immediately, otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning moved his hand, and the immobilization talismans landed on Tian Cang.
"You still have the mind to advise me? You should take care of yourself first."
Just as Sheng Ning was about to ask Tian Cang about the origins of this gambling den, the so-called goddess statue that had been standing in the cubicle suddenly moved.
"The goddess has appeared! The goddess has appeared!"
Tiancang wanted to kneel down and pay his respects, but he was immobilized by the immobilization charm and could not move.
He was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The statue's movements were very subtle. When Sheng Ning raised her eyes, she saw that the statue had already raised its head.
She squinted at the statue, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Aren't the demons only holy maidens? Where did this goddess come from?"
She took a few steps forward, about to reach out and remove the veil covering the goddess's head, when she heard Tian Cang roar, "You dare!"
"If you dare to harm the goddess, the demons will stop at nothing to hunt you down!"
Upon hearing what he said, Sheng Ning's eyes showed no fear, but rather a hint of a smile.
"As expected, Chang Le Fang is related to the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Tian Cang's eyes flashed, and he was about to retort when he saw Sheng Ning lift the veil from the statue's head.
He was merely a low-level demonic cultivator, unworthy to witness the beauty of a goddess, and he quickly lowered his head in fright.
Sheng Ning looked at the 'goddess' in front of him and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"I never expected it to be you."
