Chapter 39

In the second round, after three rounds, all the cards were mixed. Wenshan pondered whether he should do something in the third round.

"Let me take over!" Just as Wenshan was about to start the third round, Xun Yi spoke up.

Wenshan felt a strong pull on his body, and Wenshan and Xun Yi's souls switched positions again.

Xun Yi's spirit returned to his body, and Xue Laizi was just about to deal the six cards.

Wenshan returned to his divine body, and a force of creation naturally nourished his divine body: "Indeed, Young Master's body is supplemented by a divine artifact of creation, which is why he was able to revive from the great disaster back then."

This time, Wenshan carefully examined Xun Yi's physical condition, finally having a clear understanding.

Then, Wenshan looked at the God of Poverty: "Since the God of Poverty is now in the City God's Mansion, the impact should not be significant, right?"

The God of Poverty smiled bitterly and hurriedly said to these deities: "I only want to repay a favor, I have no intention of harming anyone."

Wenshan and Wujud ignored him, the God of Poverty! Even if the God of Poverty wants to repay a favor, it will still cause the family to lose their fortune and be ruined.

"What should we do?"

"The God of Fortune's system is too high, deities below the third heaven do not even qualify as reserves. This God of Poverty with second heaven divine power is not recognized by the God of Fortune. It would be better to directly drive him out of Qinglong City and let him fend for himself."

The City God of Qinglong City has the responsibility to protect the people in the city from the influence of external deities. If this God of Poverty was not born locally and does not have a heavenly mandate, it would be best to send him away.

Upon hearing this, the God of Poverty begged the two deities repeatedly. The two judges ignored him and quietly watched the gambling game on Xun Yi's side.

Xun Yi gently touched the six cards and suddenly smiled: "This time I feel I can win, so let's open them together!"

The six cards were revealed simultaneously: the first set, Double Heaven; the second set, Double Earth; the third set, Double Man.

The scene immediately exploded, and Boss Qiu jumped up: "Great!"

The dealers were relieved; the strong luck of Young Master Xun had finally returned. According to the card sets, Double Heaven, Double Earth, and Double Man are the second, third, and fourth best sets in Pai Gow. Even if the opponent gets the top set, the Supreme Treasure, the other two sets are still a sure loss.

The two opponents were stunned, and Xun Yi said calmly: "Heaven, Earth, and Man, Double Color Three Talents Great Harmony! Even if you have a set of Supreme Treasure, you can only win one round. But two against one, this round is still my win. Best of three, please roll back to where you came from!"

High Fatso revealed the six cards next to his companion, and indeed, their luck had returned. They held a set of Supreme Treasure, but the remaining two sets, Double Plum and Double Long Robe, were firmly suppressed by Xun Yi.

Bai Shan smiled and went to collect the silver chests from the two.

"Wait!" High Fatso hesitated, consulted with his companion, and then took out another stack of silver bills: "This is another 5,000 taels, let's play three more rounds!"

"Is this also given to you by your master?"

"No, it's ours. It's rare to meet a skilled opponent!"

The two could feel that Xun Yi had not cheated just now, but without cheating, how could he win purely by luck? Their God of Fortune's luck was not fake!

The shorter one said: "This time, I will deal the cards." He jumped onto the table, pushed aside Xue Laizi, and first showed his card-shuffling skills, then dealt six cards to each person.

Xun Yi frowned, worried about the other side cheating.

Wenshan transmitted a message: "Young Master, don't worry, there is still my word spell on the table, they cannot cheat."

Xun Yi felt relieved, touched the cards next to him, and could feel that he might win again this time.

"Let's go!" High Fatso rolled up his sleeves and looked at the three sets of cards in his hand.

The first set, Double Heaven!

High Fatso's face lit up; his luck had indeed returned! Could it be that the other side just happened to get the Supreme Treasure?

He looked at Xun Yi, and his heart sank instantly.

He saw that Xun Yi had a set of Supreme Treasure formed by Ding San and Er Si.

"Supreme Treasure beats Double Heaven, I win."

"No problem, there are still two sets." High Fatso consoled himself and opened the second set: "Double Earth! This round is my win!"

With the Double Heaven and Supreme Treasure already out, the best card left was Double Earth.

Xun Yi's face was grim as he opened his cards. A pair of Double Plum, which was eaten by Double Earth.

"Maybe I will also get a set of Heaven, Earth, and Man this time." High Fatso, thinking of the humiliation of being beaten with the Supreme Treasure, was eager to open the third set.

"No, no, you have already lost." Xun Yi opened his cards, a pair of Double Man: "The best card in the remaining sets is in my hand."

The two men were stunned, quickly flipped their cards, and saw a pair of Double Axe, which was far behind.

"Let's go!" High Fatso's face turned an abnormal red, and he started the second round with Xun Yi.

"Monkey King's Auspiciousness, Heaven and Man Great Luck." Xun Yi sighed and revealed the three sets of cards in his hand. First, the Supreme Treasure, followed by Double Heaven and Double Man. He once again crushed the opponent's Double Harmony, Double Earth, and Double Plum.

"I can't bear to watch anymore." Boss Qiu covered his face, and the dealers beside him felt the same. Especially He Jiu, who had been beaten by Xun Yi for years, had already submitted and no longer had any thoughts of resistance. But seeing other high-level players being similarly crushed, how could he feel so smooth?

"Did he cheat?" High Fatso tried to suppress his frustration and asked his companion.

The shorter one shook his head without speaking. Even if he dealt the cards and used the Heavenly Eye technique to observe, he could only watch helplessly as he dealt good cards to the other side. Those Supreme Treasure and Heaven and Man cards were all dealt by his own hands.

In the third round, the shorter one deliberately calculated the position of each card, dealt the Supreme Treasure to his companion, and threw some bad cards to Xun Yi. The best set of cards was Double Plum.

But for some reason, the set of Supreme Treasure was split into two different sets, mixed with Double Man and Double Heaven. In the end, the three sets of mixed cards were crushed by the opponent's set of Double Plum.

"This young master is favored by the God of Fortune." The God of Poverty and others watched from the City God's Mansion, and the God of Poverty couldn't help but exclaim: "This kind of luck and protection is at least from a deity of the fifth heaven or higher."

"You mean? Divine protection?" Bai Fu and the others immediately looked at him, their eyes full of surprise and doubt.

"Yes." The God of Poverty shrank back: "Just now, I felt it when I stood next to him. If I hadn't been so close, his divine protection from the God of Fortune would not have been affected by my bad luck. And after I left, his bad luck immediately disappeared. This is definitely divine protection from a deity of the fifth heaven or higher, possibly even higher, not lower."

"That makes sense." Bai Fu and the others silently thought about Xun Yi's experiences over the years.

Walking on the street, he could pick up silver and jade pendants dropped by others. Of course, Xun Yi immediately returned them, thus receiving a lot of gratitude.

Even if someone wanted to throw a stone to harm him, it would deviate due to the angle. Water poured from the second floor would only hit the person in front or behind him, never him.

"This is a young man favored by the God of Fortune."

"I don't believe it!" In the casino, the two men took out more jewels and bet against Xun Yi.

"You two are quite wealthy." Xun Yi frowned, wanting to quit: "Big gambling is harmful to the body, and you two are emotionally unstable. It's best to take a break."

"No!" High Fatso blocked the door, forcing Xun Yi to bet with them.

Reluctantly, Xun Yi played five more rounds.

"Supreme Treasure, Heaven and Earth Great Harmony."

"Heaven and Earth Same Man, Double Color Three Talents Great Harmony."

"Monkey King Breaks Heaven, Earth Plum and Man Robe."

...

Another five rounds, all wins. Xun Yi was mentally exhausted, yawning, and leaned on the table, letting Bai Shan help him reveal the cards: "Uncles, can we take a break? Do you have anything else to bet?"

The table was piled high with gold, silver, and various silver bills, and Xun Yi found it too cluttered.

The two men's faces were red with frustration; all their possessions from years of gambling had been won by Xun Yi. Now they had nothing left.

But once the gambling addiction took hold, even deities couldn't stop them.

"I'll bet this with you!" High Fatso took out a jade chime.

As the jade chime was revealed, Xun Yi's Merit Tree suddenly trembled, and Bai Fu quickly transmitted a message: "Young Master, this is a magical artifact, probably their protective item."

"Are you sure you want to bet this?" Looking at the two men, who were completely irrational due to their gambling addiction, Xun Yi said to Bai Shan: "See, this is the harm of gambling!"

Xun Yi returned half of the silver bills and prepared to leave. How could he dare to bet with something as precious as their lives?

"No! I won't let you leave until I win this time!" This time, the shorter one blocked the door and shouted: "This time, we won't play Pai Gow, we'll play Mahjong."

Mahjong? Old He looked at the two with pity: "You actually want to play Mahjong? Let me show you what a divine hand looks like."

The dealers went to get the gold Mahjong set from the gambling house. This set was the most expensive, said to be a trophy won by Boss Qiu in a major gambling match.

Seeing the two acting like rascals, Xun Yi decided not to leave: "Fine, fine, if you're not afraid of losing, why should I worry about your safety?" Xun Yi sat in the chair with his legs crossed.

He called Boss Qiu to sit opposite him, but Boss Qiu shook his head: "No, no, I won't play."

"Three short of one, come over and fill in." As Xun Yi's gaze swept over, the dealers all stepped back, leaving only Xue Laizi.

Seeing Xun Yi's gaze, Xue Laizi quickly stood next to the dealers: "Wait, I won't play!" They lowered their heads and hid in the corner, unwilling to step forward.

"Then, Young Master, let me play." Bai Shan volunteered and sat down.

The two men sat opposite each other, communicating: "We'll play together, and we won't believe we can't beat him!"

The two had been partners for years and had their own winning strategy.

Seeing the two wink at each other, the dealers smiled inwardly: They just want to collude, but we'll show them what real luck looks like!

Holding the heavy gold cards, Xun Yi silently arranged the cards and then revealed them: "Heaven and Earth Harmony."

"Ah?" The two men hadn't finished arranging their cards, and Bai Shan had only touched half of his cards. Looking at Xun Yi's Heaven and Earth Harmony, the three were speechless.

"The next round, I'll be the dealer." Xun Yi picked up the dice: "Well, my luck has finally returned."

The second round was Heaven and Earth Harmony, the third round was Heaven and Earth Harmony. The other three didn't even get to play a single card before being thoroughly beaten by Xun Yi.

Seeing this, the dealers looked at the three on the table with pity. "This is why our gambling house never provokes this person."

In the City God's Mansion, Bai Fu and the others were amazed.

"Although we knew about Young Master Xun's strong luck, for it to be this strong is not a coincidence, it's like..." Wenshan hesitated: "It's like someone deliberately did this. Even the God of Fortune cannot privately give a mortal such strong luck to interfere with the natural order, right?"

Looking at the God of Poverty, the God of Poverty said: "The Gods of Fortune do not like these lucky people to gamble. Every time they win, they will connect with other Gods of Fortune to eliminate their luck. But I haven't seen this young master's luck eliminated at all, as if someone is deliberately protecting him."

Pausing, the God of Poverty continued: "The Gods of Fortune will offset the money they win through luck and lifespan. But this young master shows no signs of losing anything, as if someone has already paid for everything from the beginning."

"Enough!" Bai Fu suddenly shouted, stopping the God of Poverty from continuing. Wenshan and Bai Fu exchanged glances, both thinking of the events from ten years ago.

"Young Master is sure to win, let's consider what to do with this God of Poverty."

Seeing the three suddenly target him, the God of Poverty burst into tears and sat on the ground, making a scene.

"Hmph! Don't try that, even for Bai Shan's sake, you must leave."

"I was bullied in a foreign place and finally found a promising young man. I was waiting to see him rise to prominence!"

Bai Fu sneered: "If you get involved, he can still rise to prominence? Look at your bad luck, you've probably harmed more than one family. Although Young Master has strong luck, he can't let you harm him. Wu Jud, send him away. He can't stay in Qinglong City." After thinking for a moment, Bai Fu said: "Send him to Miaoxian County."

Hearing Miaoxian County, the God of Poverty panicked: "Sirs, even if I came uninvited, don't trick me. I'm the God of Poverty, but I can't fight the God of Plague, can I?"

"God of Plague? The land god of Miaoxian County likes swords, but he's not the God of Plague." Wu Jud said, preparing to drive him away.

"Not a metaphor, but the real God of Plague. Miaoxian County has been plagued by a major epidemic for a long time, and a powerful evil deity will soon be born. Sending me there now, do you want him to eat me?"

"Miaoxian County's epidemic?" Wenshan flipped through the divine records, not seeing any reports from the land god of Miaoxian County, and sneered: "Nonsense, Wu Jud, send him to the land god of Miaoxian County as a sword practice target!"

"Sure thing!" Wu Jud took the God of Poverty away, who struggled and said: "That land god is the future God of Plague, I came from there. If I hadn't felt the heavy casualties and bad luck in Miaoxian County, I wouldn't have come to Longchuan Prefecture!"

"That land god has already been sealed and is being prepared to be transformed into a new God of Plague."

Wu Jud sneered: "That land god is my friend, his martial arts are not inferior to mine, do you think he can have an accident?" But he was uneasy and took out a communication device to contact the land god of Miaoxian County.

There was no response.

Bai Fu scratched his head, went to the back, and took out the land god's divine power jade to give to Wenshan.

Through the special connection of the divine path, they summoned the land god of Miaoxian County, but there was still no response.

Wenshan and the others looked at each other, and Wu Jud dropped the God of Poverty, who got up, brushed off the dirt, and bad luck spread everywhere: "What, didn't I lie to you? There's a major epidemic in Miaoxian County, didn't you know?"

The land god has already been sealed and is being prepared to be transformed into a new God of Plague.
