Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 951: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil (Part 2)

Wine, women, and wealth, the great desires of man.

Yet in the unique environment of a gambling house, a person’s desires can be magnified greatly, and even the most rational minds might unknowingly fall into a trap they cannot escape.

At this time, a person’s will becomes weak.

Most susceptible to demonic thoughts.

Lust is no exception.

Guessing dice, pushing Pai Gow, and playing military chess, Wang Chen played from the first floor to the third floor in the Hundred Victory House, involving himself in more and more sophisticated games.

Tens of thousands of silver could be lost or won in a single round!

During this period, Wang Chen was not always victorious and at times lost most of his chips, but as he became familiar with the rules, his winning rate steadily increased.

By the time he reached the third floor, Wang Chen’s chips had surpassed one hundred thousand silver!

But his purpose was not to win or lose.

Sitting in a soft chair and fiddling with the ivory dominoes in his hand, Wang Chen casually threw two pale golden chips, "I’ll follow."

The chips of the Hundred Victory House were distinguished by color, and the ones he threw were worth a thousand silver.

Such a small chip could provide a family of five a comfortable life for ten years!

Wang Chen’s next player, a middle-aged man with a mustache, shook his head and collected his cards, "Too fierce, I give up this round, I won’t follow."

Since the player before Wang Chen also gave up, only Wang Chen and the opposing dealer were left in this round.

The dealer looked deeply at Wang Chen and chuckled softly, "It seems that your hand is not small at all, it doesn’t even scare me with my Heaven Cards. You’re quite confident, aren’t you?"

The dealer was dressed in a red gown, her beauty radiant and her skin as white as snow, showing an arm as smooth as winter melon, with three blood plum tattoos on her shoulder. Though her attire resembled that of a courtesan, it did not appear vulgar but had an air of brisk elegance!

And such a uniquely tempered woman was Wang Chen’s first encounter since his travel through time.

He smiled and said, "If you’re scared, just fold."

Wang Chen was now playing a high-tier gambling card game, similar to the Texas Hold’em of his former world, which greatly emphasized strategy.

These cards were categorized into nine tiers: Heaven, Earth, Man, Sun, Moon, Star, Top, Middle, and Bottom, with the dealer’s being likely to form a "Star", a high probability of winning.

The higher the tier, the harder the card set to obtain. Many gamblers might never encounter Heaven and Earth Cards in their lifetimes.

After joining the game, Wang Chen lost tens of thousands of silver before he grasped the rules.

To his provocation, the dealer’s smile grew even more enthralling, "Scared? I, Zhong Yingyao, have never known the meaning of the word in this lifetime!"

"Deal the cards!"

The croupier immediately dealt a new card to both her and Wang Chen.

Wang Chen, without even looking, pushed all his chips on the table forward, "All in!"

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding area was filled with sounds of sharp intakes of breath.

The pile of Wang Chen’s chips added up to more than a hundred thousand silver, an all-in decision of such magnitude was indeed rare!

Zhong Yingyao, his opponent, just got a hand of cards, and her face suddenly turned stern.

"Bold move!"

With a serious tone, she held her cards and said, "If I guess correctly, this must be your first time at Hundred Victory House. May I ask for your honored name?"

Wang Chen smiled, "My last name is Wang, but my first name is not worth mentioning."

"So you are Brother Wang."

Zhong Yingyao tentatively asked, "Are you from the south of the mountains?"

Wang Chen shook his head, "Just a wandering martial artist."

"Well met, wandering martial artist!"

Zhong Yingyao flipped her wrist, revealing the bone card in her palm and the face-down card on the table together, "Sun and moon reveal the stars!"

"I follow!"

Her card set was indeed the Star tier.

All eyes focused intently on Wang Chen.

He calmly flipped his two cards. Immediately, surrounding noises hushed.

"The Firmament reveals the bright moon, Moon Card, the opponent wins!"

Relying on the last two cards, Wang Chen astonishingly formed a set of Moon Cards, just enough to surpass Zhong Yingyao by one tier.

He won all the bets!

"Damn!"

Zhong Yingyao cursed loudly, slamming her palm heavily on the table, causing countless chips to fly up.

This set of Star Cards was the best hand she had tonight; she never expected that Wang Chen would get the Moon Cards without even looking.

Such enemy cards appearing in such a high-end card game was extremely rare.

Wang Chen glanced at the fiery lady nonchalantly and then leisurely collected all the chips.

He stood up, ready to leave.

Because Zhong Yingyao, who was the dealer, had lost all her chips.

"Wait!"

Zhong Yingyao shouted, "Just win and leave, where do things come this easily? I want to gamble with you again!"

Wang Chen chuckled, "How many chips do you still have? I’m not playing if it’s too few."

Zhong Yingyao’s eyes blazed with fire, "This time let’s bet something else. If I lose, I’ll spend a night with you!"

"Uh..."

Wang Chen almost choked on his own saliva; he looked at the gamblers present, and everyone turned their heads away, displaying an "I’m not involved" attitude.

"Not enough?"

Zhong Yingyao upped the ante, "Then make it three nights!"

Truth be told, such a unique woman like her, Wang Chen had not seen in either this lifetime or the last.

He couldn’t help but ask, "And what if I lose?"

"Then you leave all the chips you have on you!"

Zhong Yingyao answered righteously, "One night with me is worth that much!"

Such outrageous statements made the other gamblers uncomfortable, all of their faces distorted as they thought about running away.

Zhong Yingyao roared, "None of you leave, watch me finish this round and then scram!"

The gamblers really didn’t dare to move.

Wang Chen knew clearly that this female tyrant must have a significant background; obviously, no one dared to offend her.

He smirked, "Sorry, I don’t think it’s worth it."

What a joke, all the chips he had won summed up to three hundred thousand taels, she wouldn’t be worth that much even if she were encrusted with diamonds!

"I’m still a virgin!"

Zhong Yingyao proudly said, "It’s you who would be getting a huge bargain."

Wang Chen, not wanting to argue further, straightforwardly said, "No bet!"

"So ruthless!"

Zhong Yingyao didn’t persist further but dropped a fierce line, "We’ll see!"

Thus, the gambling session was finally declared over, and several gamblers, as if pardoned, fled as fast as they could.

As Wang Chen left, he could still feel a fierce gaze on his back.

Then he ascended to the fourth floor of the Hundred Victory House.

As he stepped onto the fourth floor, a glint of cold light flashed through Wang Chen’s eyes.

For at this moment, the Demon-Slaying Spearhead hidden inside his Body Protection Inner Armor became searing hot!

Burning right over Wang Chen’s heart.

This indicated he was getting close to a certain demon—the spearhead was reacting specially!

But on the surface, Wang Chen remained impassive, led by the attendants of the gambling house, into a private room on the fourth floor.

His chest grew hotter and more intense!
