In the year 2015 of the Demon Era, in the Western Ox-Cart Continent, on Spirit Mountain, at the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Sister Guanyin returned to the temple, exhausted from the performance she had just given. It had taken a lot out of her, and she needed to sit down, eat an ice cream, and drink a bottle of Nutri-Fast to clear her mind.

All the Buddhas who had been waiting for her gathered around her: "Sister Guanyin, how did it go? Did you persuade that man?"

Sister Guanyin extended her right hand forward, making a V sign, and laughed loudly: "With this girl here, how could any mortal stand a chance? A few tricks, and they were all fooled. Hahahaha... Oh, I'm so tired, get me an ice cream quick..."

The Buddhas all wiped their sweat: "Hey, isn't it wrong to deceive people? As deities, we should set a good example for mortals, not lead them astray."

"Pfft! You called me here to use my manipulative skills, so don't pretend to be righteous." Sister Guanyin sat down in a chair, disregarding her ethereal and transcendent appearance, and crossed her legs casually. She huffed, "Now, the second phase begins. You all need to take out all your pocket money and go shopping online... but remember, don't buy anything from Tang Sen's mother's store. Only buy from other similar online stores... for example, if Tang Sen's mother's store sells Gong Gong brand 323232 sports shoes, you should go to other stores and buy these shoes like crazy, but not from her!"

"Why is that?" The Buddhas were puzzled.

"Less questions, more action." Sister Guanyin swung her crossed legs, "If you want to get Ru Lai married, follow my instructions. Otherwise, I'll wash my hands of her wedding."

The Buddhas all sweated: "Yes, yes, we'll do as you say. We'll go shopping right away..."

From the corner of the hall, Manjushri Bodhisattva cried out: "I have very little pocket money, I can't afford this剁手党 (剁手党 means 'hand-chopping party,' a term for enthusiastic online shoppers) action!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva gave him a harsh look: "For Ru Lai's lifelong happiness, you should contribute all your pocket money... don't you want Ru Lai to have a good life?"

Tang Sen pedaled the "White Dragon" bicycle as fast as he could, drenched in sweat, and finally made it home. He pushed the door open and saw his mother sitting in front of the computer, typing away, introducing products to a customer.

His mother's attire was far from decent; she was only wearing her underwear. The small triangular panties barely covered the essentials, and the sexy bra was very alluring. Her messy hair fell wildly over her shoulders, and at 34, she was at the peak of her charm, a sight that few men could resist.

Tang Sen covered his eyes and called out, "Hey, Mom, why are you dressed like that again?"

His mother turned around and giggled, "It's just us two at home, what's the problem with dressing like this?"

"Hey, I'm already 20!" Tang Sen said, sweating.

"Even if you were 50, you'd still be my son." His mother huffed, "What are you so shy about? By the way, why are you back so early? No classes today?"

"Uh... no classes!" Tang Sen lied, but his mother immediately saw through it, kicked him, and then sat on him, pinning him down, "I can tell from your eyes that you skipped class. Humph, dare to lie to your mother? Do you want to die?"

Tang Sen could only laugh bitterly, "Yes, yes, I skipped class, Mom, spare me!" The real problem wasn't the kick, but the fact that his mother, dressed in only her underwear, was pressing against him, which was a torment for a 20-year-old young man.

After a bit of roughhousing, mostly initiated by his mother, Tang Sen was left with no place to put his hands or feet. Finally, his mother sat back at the computer, looking troubled, "Today's sales are a bit strange..."

"What's wrong?"

His mother frowned, "Today, all the online stores are doing well, especially those selling similar products to mine. They're all seeing a huge increase in sales... look at these shoes, they sold over a hundred pairs in just half an hour... I couldn't afford to be complacent, so I called the manufacturer and ordered a batch of the same product... but unexpectedly, while other stores are selling like crazy, mine is completely ignored. My prices are lower, yet customers are only buying from other stores that are more expensive... this is really strange."

Tang Sen's heart sank. Could this be the prelude to his mother's bankruptcy?

"Never mind, let's not talk about these annoying things. I can handle them in a minute. You're all sweaty, go take a shower. Oh, do you want me to help you scrub your back?"

"I'm dizzy, don't come... I'm already 20, you need to respect the boundaries between men and women!"

"Hehe, Little Sen Sen is finally shy now. When you were three, you didn't mind when Mom played with your little friend... you even laughed at Mom, how cute you were back then."

"Unbearable! You shameless mother! Don't call me Little Sen Sen, that name is embarrassing." Tang Sen closed the bathroom door and locked it from the inside.

His mother pounded on the bathroom door, "Little Sen Sen, open the door, don't be shy. They say a son is his mother's lover from a past life, why are you so guarded against your mother? You ungrateful son!"

Tang Sen ignored his mother's crazy talk, took off his sweat-soaked clothes, turned on the shower, and let the cold water cool his head.

He carefully recalled the events of the day, and a clear thought formed in his mind: Sister Guanyin is probably a real deity, but she's also probably a fraud! His mother going bankrupt? That's impossible, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

In Tang Sen's mind, his mother was invincible, a super deity, capable of slaying Buddhas and demons. At just 14, she had defied societal pressure to give birth to and raise him. She had earned a living with her own hands, enduring countless hardships and sorrows, experiencing great joys and sorrows, yet she had remained strong, never uttering a word of defeat...

A mere online store trying to defeat Super Mom? That's a joke...

A mere fraudster trying to fool me, raised by Super Mom, is also a joke!

But, why would a deity go to such lengths to deceive me?

Tang Sen, who had no interest in going to the West, suddenly became very curious. He pulled open the bathroom door, and his mother, who had been pounding on it, fell in with a cry.

Tang Sen helped her up and said seriously, "Mom, I've decided to go to the Great Thunderclap Temple on Spirit Mountain in the Western Ox-Cart Continent."

"Oh? Why there?"

"I want to see how a scam unfolds with my own eyes!" Tang Sen said seriously, "I've already completed all my university courses on my own, staying in school is meaningless now. I have to deal with female classmates all the time, so I might as well go out and broaden my horizons. As they say, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I want to use this opportunity to see the world and learn practical knowledge. When I return from my travels, I'll earn a lot of money to ensure Mom's comfort in her later years."

"Silly, does Mom need you to earn money to support her? You underestimate me." She laughed, "But, if you want to travel the world, Mom won't object. Here's a bank card, it's for your future wife. Take it as travel money... Mom will save another sum for your wedding."

"I'll use the money wisely," Tang Sen said seriously, "I'll ride a bicycle, making it a global bicycle journey. It will be good exercise, and I'll see the world, saving on transportation costs."

"Mom will miss you so much, son. Let's sleep together tonight?" His mother's saliva dripped onto the floor, "It's been so long since I've slept with Little Sen Sen..."

"No!" Tang Sen darted into his bedroom and locked the door from the inside, screaming, "Mom, can you be a bit more reasonable? This is really crazy! If it gets out, it will be a shocking scandal!"

"Pfft, shocking scandals are nothing." His mother slid down the bedroom door and laughed, "When I was 14 and pregnant with you, everyone advised me to have an abortion, but I couldn't bear to. Anyone who tried to hurt my Little Sen Sen, I would fight them... I defied everyone to give birth to you, shocking the world once... what's there to fear now?"
