Chapter 300: Chapter 298: The Gambling God’s Hand Fails

This round, Mrs. Qu’s tiles were horribly poor.

Moreover, the White Bone Ghost Hand had not shown up to change the tiles, and in the end, it was Qin Zhao who won.

Over the next few rounds, Mrs. Qu seemed restless in her seat, occasionally glancing towards the empty mahjong table where the White Bone Ghost Hand still did not appear.

"Self-drawn!"

Guan Yanyu exclaimed excitedly; this was her first self-drawn win of the month.

They all thought they were going to lose badly today, but as it turned out, she, Su Xiaotong, and Qin Zhao all won several rounds. Mrs. Qu, having started with two wins, continuously lost afterward due to making errors, ending up as the biggest loser.

"Mrs. Qu, your luck isn’t doing well today. But, it’s normal for luck in card playing to vary; who knows, you might win it back tomorrow."

Guan Yanyu was in high spirits and did not forget to comfort Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu had been silent for several rounds, her expression somewhat unsightly, when she suddenly stood up.

"Let’s take a break. I’ll have someone prepare some afternoon tea."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your hospitality."

Mrs. Qu walked out, and Guan Yanyu, still elated, told Su Xiaotong about how good her tiles had been and hoped the luck would continue.

"I’ve also won quite a bit, my luck’s really good today."

Su Xiaotong counted her money cheerfully, ready to bail out earlier, but the tides had turned in their favor. Although it was just a few thousand, it was still delightful.

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but smile seeing their happy faces.

Upon leaving the mahjong room with a gloomy face, Mrs. Qu instructed the servant, "Prepare some afternoon tea." After saying this, she went straight to the bedroom next to the third floor.

She unlocked the door with her fingerprint, only to find the three sticks of incense on the table had burnt out.

"What’s going on? Why isn’t it working today?"

This was the Gambling God’s Hand she had specifically invited.

Every time before playing mahjong, she would worship it, ensuring her to win big.

She was scared when she initially encountered the White Bone Ghost Hand but grew accustomed to winning at the gambling table, gradually fearing less and instead anticipating how much money she would win.

Though she married into wealth during her career’s peak, her husband lacked a business acumen and squandered the family fortune soon after inheriting it, accruing massive debts.

She spent a lot of money consulting a Mystical Master on how to reclaim her husband’s financial luck. However, the Master told her that her husband was beyond help in this lifetime and that she could only become wealthy through her own efforts.

Following the Master’s advice, she had someone exhume the skeletal remains of a deceased gambling god and use a special method to sever his right hand to enshrine at her home.

Ever since then, with the protection of the Gambling God’s Hand, she had been invincible at the gambling table.

Apart from playing mahjong, Mrs. Qu also gambled in gambling cities.

But she didn’t dare to gamble big for fear of attracting the attention of powerful figures, suspecting her of cheating. Ultimately, she thought it was more profitable to play mahjong with larger stakes among wealthy ladies.

Today’s stakes weren’t very high, as Qin Zhao was a novice and Su Xiaotong was quite young, so Guan Yanyu suggested they play smaller.

Even so, she had still lost twenty thousand that afternoon!

"Oh Gambling God, please don’t fail me now; let me win back the money I lost!"

Mrs. Qu relit the incense, not dwelling on why it had extinguished. She worshiped respectfully before leaving the room and returning to the mahjong room.

The servant had already brought tea and snacks, and Qin Zhao and the others were chatting while snacking.

Mrs. Qu smiled at them and asked, "Shall we continue playing?"

"Yes, of course! It’s rare to have such good luck!"

Guan Yanyu was excited, eager to keep them playing all night.

"Initially, I thought Xiao Qin was a novice, but it turns out he’s quite good. Let’s play bigger in a while; playing with these small amounts of money is pointless."

Guan Yanyu naturally had no objections; after retiring, she had taken some of her savings to invest and had earned quite a bit. Playing mahjong with some money was carefree for her.

"Are these two kids okay to do it?"

She then looked at Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong, "What do you think?"

Su Xiaotong hesitated somewhat, not knowing how big Mrs. Qu meant when she said ’play bigger.’

Qin Zhao said meaningfully, "Sure, I have no objections."

Since Qin Zhao agreed, Su Xiaotong also had no objections.

They had some afternoon tea and continued playing mahjong. Previously, they had been playing for a few hundred, but now it had turned to ten thousand, and if one triggered the pao, they had to pay double. If someone won by drawing their own tile, they could earn even more.

The table began to echo with the sound of shuffling tiles as Mrs. Qu sat confidently in her place.

She newly paid homage to the Gambling God’s Hand, believing she would surely win back her losses.

Since she had started worshiping the Gambling God’s Hand, she had never experienced failure; she thought the earlier loss was just a small accident. She assumed the incense had extinguished suddenly and that was why the Gambling God hadn’t appeared to help her.

In fact, it wasn’t that the White Bone Ghost Hand wasn’t trying to help her, but rather that Qin Zhao had noticed it appearing a few times.

Qin Zhao was a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage. Just releasing a bit of her aura was enough to scare most spirits from appearing. She had also affixed an Evil Exorcism Charm under the mahjong table.

Thus, the White Bone Ghost Hand dared not touch the mahjong table.

Unable to touch the mahjong table, it naturally couldn’t help Mrs. Qu swap mahjong tiles.

"Oh my, I won."

After several rounds in the first game, without the White Bone Ghost Hand appearing, Mrs. Qu won relying on her own luck. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

After restarting, they played for much larger stakes, starting directly from ten thousand. So, just in this game, Mrs. Qu had won back all the money she lost.

And Mrs. Qu’s predecessor was Qin Zhao, who lost twenty thousand.

"Congratulations."

Qin Zhao seemed indifferent, apparently not concerned about the significant loss.

"Mrs. Qu, how about we switch seats? I feel like this spot has bad feng shui."

"Okay, you take my seat."

Mrs. Qu agreed to switch seats. After all, she had won quite a bit from Qin Zhao and was worried Qin Zhao might withdraw from the game. How could she continue to win big if that happened?

After switching seats, she could continue to win money from others.

In the second game, Mrs. Qu couldn’t smile anymore.

For it wasn’t many rounds before Qin Zhao won. The tile she laid out allowed Qin Zhao to win, and the stakes were won back by Qin Zhao.

The third game was the same.

The fourth game too!

By the fifth game, Qin Zhao won by drawing their own tile.

Everyone else lost tens of thousands, but Mrs. Qu had already lost hundreds of thousands.

She suddenly couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up abruptly.

"Xiao Qin, you really have great luck."

She stared intensely at Qin Zhao, unable to understand why every tile she played enabled Qin Zhao to win, resulting in her always being the biggest loser!

"How about we stop now? Small bets are a pleasure, big bets hurt."

Qin Zhao said cheerfully.

"No, I must win it back!"

Mrs. Qu sat down again, refusing to believe it.

The Gambling God couldn’t possibly keep ignoring her!
