Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"I'll take it!"

"I got it!"

"I've won!"

"Thirteen orphans!"

...

At the Mahjong table, Zhu Bajie really gave off the impression of being the God of Gamblers reborn, invincible in every direction.

In a single round of Mahjong, it often hadn't even been five or six turns before Zhu Bajie was close to winning; his gambling luck had always been good, but today it seemed to be even better than usual. It felt as though he was in a league of his own.

It wasn't just Lady White Bones and her maidservant; even Jiang Liu felt like he was taking a terrible beating this round with Zhu Bajie dominating the game as if he was the only one winning against three.

Usually, the role of the dealer at the Mahjong table rotated, but when it came to Zhu Bajie, it seemed to come to a halt.

Eighteen consecutive rounds as the dealer, eighteen consecutive wins. This made Lady White Bones feel like her Mahjong playing experience was unprecedentedly terrible.

Although last night had been a bad loss, at least there had been some wins, just more losses than wins.

But today, looking at the time, almost half an hour had passed, and she hadn't won a single hand.

Of course, what was even more exaggerated was the fact that she was sitting upwind from Zhu Bajie, making it highly likely that he would "eat" whatever she discarded next, even if she discarded two or three identical tiles in a row; he still found a way to eat them, which felt exceptionally frustrating.

Finally, after feeding Zhu Bajie for the third consecutive time and then setting off the firecracker that allowed Zhu Bajie to win, Lady White Bones slammed the Mahjong table hard and stood up.

With a loud bang, the square Mahjong table shattered under Lady White Bones's hands.

Naturally, the Mahjong tiles scattered all over the floor.

"You pig-headed cheat, have you been swindling us!?" Pointing at Zhu Bajie, Lady White Bones's pale face contorted with anger as she shouted.

"My lady!" Seeing Lady White Bones's pale face, her maidservant seemed worried and called out to her.

"Silence!"

However, Lady White Bones simply turned her head to cast an angry glare at her maidservant and scolded sharply, causing the maidservant to shrink back, not daring to say another word.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't handle losing, can you?" Seeing the Mahjong table reduced to rubble, Zhu Bajie felt a little disappointed. Glancing at Lady White Bones, he said.

"I, naturally, can afford to lose, but your luck these past two games has been a bit too excessive. You must have cheated!" Lady White Bones stared angrily at Zhu Bajie and declared sternly.

"What, can't accept that someone has good luck? By your reasoning, should Old Zhu win or lose?" Zhu Bajie gazed displeased at Lady White Bones and retorted.

"Amitabha, Benefactor White Bone, I understand how you feel. Gambling is like that; you can suspect him of cheating, but without evidence, it's a bit unreasonable to treat your suspicions as fact," said Jiang Liu, hands pressed together, as he spoke to Lady White Bones.

Relatively speaking, Lady White Bones naturally had a better impression of Jiang Liu.

Moreover, Jiang Liu's reasoned words indeed made it difficult for her to refute.

"Since the Mahjong table is ruined, shall we conclude this gambling session early? As per our earlier agreement, Benefactor White Bone, would you hand over the two humans to this humble monk?"

Jiang Liu asked Lady White Bones, not intending to argue any further on the matter.

Usually, a person who loses at Mahjong, especially to a devastating degree, indeed feels extremely distressed.

Then, they would push the tiles away and quit the game!

In Jiang Liu's view, this was probably what Lady White Bones might be thinking.

However, this time Jiang Liu miscalculated, or rather, he completely underestimated White Bone Demon's enthusiasm for Mahjong.

Even though she was losing badly and the gaming experience was terrible, White Bone Demon had no intention of giving up just yet.

"No, we can't just leave it at that. I request a change of seats! I refuse to sit upwind from this pig-headed cheat any longer!" As soon as she finished speaking, White Bone Demon had a little demon bring another square table.

"Alright, then, have it your way!" Requesting a change of seats is indeed a normal request in Mahjong, so Jiang Liu could not object. He nodded in agreement to Lady White Bones's demand.

This time, Lady White Bones's luck turned out to be good. After rolling the dice to determine seating changes, only Zhu Bajie and Jiang Liu needed to switch places.

Lady White Bones, originally upwind of Zhu Bajie, now sat downwind of him.

"Two of Bamboos!" Zhu Bajie was the dealer and started off by discarding a Two of Bamboos.

"I'll take it!" Lady White Bones's eyes lit up, and she immediately "ate" a tile.

In an instant, she felt as though the whole world had changed.

Indeed, changing seats was the way to go; she finally "ate" a tile, which almost brought her to tears.

"Eh? Is it really effective?" Witnessing this scene, Jiang Liu's expression subtly changed as he marveled inwardly.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu drew a tile, which turned out to be useless, so he discarded it. "Nine of Bamboos!"

"Hahaha, I've won!" Seeing the Nine of Bamboos discarded by Jiang Liu, Lady White Bones's eyes sparkled, and she laughed triumphantly.

"Sorry, I won!" However, as Lady White Bones spoke, Zhu Bajie had already pushed his tiles forward.

"This..." The expression on Lady White Bones's face froze, then turned even paler.

I always felt a breath stuck in my mouth, very uncomfortable, yet I could do nothing about it.

Following the sequence, Zhu Bajie was upwind from me, and he would win the hand. There's no such thing as winning simultaneously with one hit.

With pent-up frustration, the White Bone Demon continued to play several rounds. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

"I've won!"

"Sorry, I'm just one step ahead of you!"

"Thirteen Wonders!"

"I've won again!"

"Pig head, this tile, are you going to win with it?"

"Oh, you want to win? Then I won't be greedy, I'll just settle for a modest win!"

...

With a bang, Lady White Bones slammed her hand on the table, breaking the second one into pieces.

"Alas, poor thing..." Seeing Lady White Bones lose her composure in a fit of rage, Jiang Liu sighed in deep sympathy.

Giving Lady White Bones a sympathetic glance, Jiang Liu could completely understand what she was feeling now.

Zhu Bajie's gambling luck was always explosively good, something Jiang Liu was well aware of, but playing Mahjong with the White Bone Demon today was particularly mystifying, as if Zhu Bajie perfectly countered Lady White Bones.

She always seemed to be feeding cards to Zhu Bajie when she was downwind.

Okay, finally it was my turn to change seats and sit downwind of Zhu Bajie, and then what? Time after time, Zhu Bajie snatched the winning tile before me.

Even Jiang Liu, as a mere spectator, found this dismal beyond endurance, let alone Lady White Bones herself.

"No more playing! Just like this!"

After smashing the second table, Lady White Bones spoke, standing up furiously. Her complexion was pale as gold foil while she spoke.

"My lady, you, your face is so pale!" The maid beside her was startled by the appearance of the White Bone Demon and blurted out.

"Ah! My lady, she..."

Following the maid's exclamation, other demons in the White Bone Cave, seeing Lady White Bones' extremely pale face, also startled and looked at her with horror.

"You, go bring those two out and hand them over, tell them to get lost!" Lady White Bones said sharply; her eyes gleaming with a strange red light as she ordered the two maids beside her.

"My lady, you, it's better not to agree, eat those two humans first, you, you look kind of scary!" The two maids, terrified by Lady White Bones' appearance, started to step back.

"What's happening!? Is this what they call seeing red from losing!? Those eyes are really red!" Jiang Liu was a bit frightened himself at Lady White Bones' transformation and shocked inwardly.

The original Lady White Bones had fair skin, a plump figure, and a stunning beauty, to say the least.

But now, she had a frighteningly pale complexion and was glaring with a pair of blood-red eyes, inducing a deep and ominous sense of evil.

"Are you intending to defy your lady's orders!?"

Lady White Bones' voice became piercingly sharp, like a steel needle scratching on iron, giving one goosebumps just from listening.

No sooner had she finished her words than she flicked her wrist, and the White Bone Whip lashed out.

The whip moved like a flexible serpent, instantly wrapping around the maid's neck.

With a snap, the maid's neck was twisted and broken by the White Bone Whip.

As the maid fell to the ground, her limbs twitched slightly before she stilled, then returned to her true form, a cat demon.

"Ah! My lady is having an attack!" With their personal maid taken down in one strike by Lady White Bones, all the demons in the White Bone Cave cried out in alarm and began to flee in every direction.

"This isn't right... Lady White Bones seems a bit off! She gets sick?"

As the demons scattered in panic and Lady White Bones appeared to have lost all reason, Jiang Liu was taken aback.

"Wukong! Let's subdue her first!" Even her own close maid wasn't safe from her. Clearly, she was in a rampage.

No matter what had caused this outburst, Jiang Liu felt it was best to subdue her first.

"Right, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's command, Sun Wukong hurriedly nodded and took out the Jingu Bang.
